Lazy day for me with B followed by dinner out with a few out-of-town coworkers. DH is on solo double bedtime duty. We'll see how that goes!
Sunday will be spent with me packing for my 3 day business trip to Atlanta. I'm nervous about B being a super crappy sleeper for DH, but what can I do? I am looking forward to a hotel room all to myself, but not looking forward to pumping logistics while traveling...
Hi! I'm up but everyone else is asleep. I'm about to go take my mom coffee, she is back at the hospital because they found excessive fluid around her heart during her PET scan. Ugh, she really needs to catch a break. But I'm doing that and then going grocery shopping by myself while mh is solo with the kids.

meeggaannw I hope things start looking up, I know this is a stressful time. My mom recently went through chemo and radiation (for something different if course) but I get the being worried about your mom. If you ever need to talk feel free to PM.

It is cleaning day at the Mango household. I feel like I am finally getting the "nesting" urge. I want to go through closets and get rid of a bunch of old stuff. While I am on my cleaning purge my husband is making breakfast, I am very excited to be a stuffing my face.
Humblebrag: my kids rocked the two hour ceremony. We received so many compliments. Now the toddler can run free at the luncheon and relatives will hold the baby because my arm is going to fall off from holding her for so long.

Resist the pp closet purge!
But generally I'm pro purge! I feel like I'm doing a weird nesting thing too. Right now I'm repainting my whole house.

I am only getting rid of stuff that I didn't wear before I was pregnant and doesn't fit now. I am also getting rid of some of my H's old stuff. Our closet has just gotten out of control.
Good luck with painting your house! I never had the nesting urge while pregnant so it's kinda weird that it showed up now.

I'll keep your mom in my t&p meeggaannw. FX that things turn around for the better for her so .
So what I thought was just exhaustion has morphed into a cold. Ds1 and I got back in bed around 10 to relax after an epic meltdown and he's still asleep. Poor kid is done with traveling, new places, and lack of structure. He probably also has a cold. No clue what the rest of my family is doing... I should probably get up and check on Dh and B. I'm also starving.
GL to your DH ellabee! I would dream of a hotel room By myself for a night or two. 3 sounds like crazytalk though
I'm sorry to hear about your mom meeggaannw, I hope it clears soon.
lakegirl, wtg to your kiddos!! Have a glass of wine
ambiguousmango, I have a closet you can purge. I have 0 nesting feelings.
I bought a groupon for jcpenny portraits and made an appt today. When I gave C a bath I saw her rash had spread. I've been fighting this rash on and off for just over a week and it's annoying. Aveeno lotion made it worse, Vaseline makes it better and then it comes back. I thought I could escape a pedi appt but I made one for Monday am.
Chock this up to sensitive skin? Nothing's changed with laundry detergent, my soap or her soap until today I'm trying aveeno baby soap instead of Johnson's head to toe which we've used starting at the hospital. Pic in spoiler.

heybulldog56 aw you can't catch a break, I hope your son feels better soon.
pibblemom I am surprising myself with wanting to clean this is not the norm. Poor baby, I have no advice just support. Does your pediatrician have an after hours phone number you can call and just describe the rash? They .At be able to give you ideas on treatment until Monday.

I've been nursing a headache all morning it still isn't going away. E slept until 9:30 this morning. It was so nice to sleep in a little. Today is just a day in with nothing to do. H is going to a playoff hockey game later. Tomorrow we are going to a memorial for babies lost at the hospital where we had Anne.liese we went last year and it was so beautiful. E will be watched by grandma.
peaseblossom55, that memorial sounds heart wrenching and beautiful at the same time. How nice of them to put it on
Pretty sure we're also starting leap 3. It's a fussy, boob all day kind of day over here. I was going to try to go to a greenhouse but I think that's not happening either.
pibblemom in regards to the wine, done and done. Ds developed really weird dry round spots, mostly on his back, around this age. The ones on your dd's arm remind me of them but he didn't have the spotty chest bumps like she does. Turns out his usual Johnson's head to toe was too drying but he didn't show signs until three months. We switched to Burt's Bees after that. So it could still be environmental even though you haven't made a change, but you might need to. Keep taking pictures of it for the doctor. Ours appreciated that they could see the progression. Also, leap three has been no fun.
peaseblossom55 the memorial sounds like such a nice way to honor angel babies. ❤️
Dd smells like old lady perfume from being passed around at the party. It's giving me a headache. She just fell asleep on me so I don't want to wake her up for an outfit change.
judyblume14, only reason I'm not rushing to be seen is because I can make it go away with Vaseline, I just can't make it stay away. All redness was gone tonight when she went to bed. I sort of have a feeling it's my MILs perfume, but don't know how to broach the topic with her and don't want to until the pedi verifies.

My best friend came over this afternoon for a couple hours. DS was asleep so we got to just chat and pass the baby. It was chill and nice. I haven't seen her in months, she has a ton of friends and a hard time saying no.
N is being a nap striker today, has only done cat naps. We might be in a leap but I never use that app because it just stresses me out.

We are at a Greek restaurant for my sister's birthday dinner. I have had two glasses of wine and am pretty buzzed. Also, this place has the best potatoes ever.

Must be something in the air I just poured myself a glass of wine and I am very excited about it. We had a good day, cleaned a bunch and my husband is making cookies now. Yummmm.
Also enjoying a nice (big) glass of wine. I hope C doesn't wake up because I don't want to use my pumped milk for tomorrow, but I'm definitely feeling nice.
