Add me to the sleep over crib club. Z is perfectly happy in her RnP still. She really isn't showing signs of rolling over yet so I'm not too worried. She'll hopefully get used to flat sleeping at daycare so we can eventually move her to the PnP or crib.
Since I've been alone this week I've been putting her in her crib for bits of time just to get stuff done. She was in there for over a half hour yesterday. She won't sleep there though, just play. I'm not sure if it's because it's a new place and we need to put her in there more, or if it's because she's not swaddled, or just the way it is.

shawnabm1320 regarding baby sleep we really have the same child. We were on the every 3 hour train last night...which is good but not great.
I'm so sad you were crying all morning loves2shop4shoes stay strong, and know we're here for you!
Sorry for DHs balls oldbaylover1024 yikes!! My supply has TANKED! And I don't even think I'm cutting calories (I don't count, don't know how to count).
crazycatlady6 I can send them to you or whoever no problem. I can really send them anywhere, if you feel comfortable PM-ing me an address they will be in the mail Monday.
I'm prepping for a dinner out with coworkers tonight and then my 3 day work trip to Atlanta. I'm most stressed about the pumping logistics and how B will sleep for DH.

DH and I went in a date last night, it was so nice! The waitress got me the wrong dessert though and when I complained she insisted I was wrong. Hokay then. She eventually had to comp it. I'm usually not one to complain and make a scene at restaurants but she pissed me off.

Staz claimed the coupon!
H is being an ass. Like, major major ass. He had FOUR HOURS with ONE kid and is all "ahh, my life is o.v.e.r!" about it. Man up, dude! We were planning on going to the zoo tomorrow and I mentioned that we needed to plan it, and he snapped "what's there to plan?" at me.
Oookay. I'm just going to smile and ask him where DS1's play clothes, my jeans, the extra diaper bag, the stroller, snacks, lunch, water bottles, and jackets are when we are done at church. He thinks there's nothing to talk about, right?
Oh, and in other news, in those four hours he did exactly ZERO around the house. Nada.

I told him to lose the attitude and now he's not talking to me. I think he just went to bed.
Have I mentioned that he's also decided to be sleeping in the guest room (so his snoring doesn't keep me awake, supposedly) the last several weeks, and also taking the liberty to complain about how tired he is? You know, because it's not like he's the one up every two hours with a newborn or anything.

ls2012 - Ugh... Huge hugs, lady! And PTing is sooo tough. FX its gets easier soon.
wildflower810 - It's all about survival. I hope YH steps up soon. That's crap.
I found a great gift for C's godmother, and at a great price! Win-win! And MH did both kid's baths and put them to bed while I pumped and cleaned the kitchen. It was a nice gesture, and a nice break for me. Bedtime routine is so damn hard sometimes!

cosmicav - flyinghorses6 mentioned she has some Similac coupons as well. I was interested in them if nobody else was for a friend but I'd rather them to go someone here.
wildflower810 -I'm sorry DH is being an ass. He needs to suck it up, massive TP to complain about how tired he is when he is not waking up at night.
loves2shop4shoes without knowing the full story, you're allowed to be upset, and there's no time limit on that. I still have salty moments about employment situations from years ago.
What can you do today that's fun and will help you take your mind off of it? Take E for a walk in a park or other pretty place? Rent a movie? Make cookies? I don't know...something to make you feel some joy and relaxation.

loves2shop4shoes I hope you can take some time today to do something for yourself - brunch, movie, manicure - anything. I have some experience on the management side of HR issues (but in the public sector). It sounds like you, luckily, have lots of support and people to offer advice, but if I can be at all helpful let me know.
I'm going to see Beauty & the Beast by.my.self today. Popcorn and Cherry icee, here I come! I need a couple hours where no one is touching me/talking at me/expecting anything of me.

My child was a sleep terrorist last night. She kept waking up screaming, would fall back to sleep with some holding and rocking, and then as soon as I would manage to drift off she'd wake up screaming again. This went on from about 1:30-3:30 then I gave up and let her sleep on me another hour and a half.
Today is officially my last day of maternity leave, back to the office tomorrow. I have such mixed feelings about it, but I am 10000% going to miss my nugget. 😢
DH was awesome and took the babes for a while this morning so I got a nice sleep in/nap today.
Full day of crap today: laundry, grocery shopping, finish wrapping up the breakfast burritos I prepped last night, shop for some work clothes if time. Between all that it's a nice day so would like to take a walk with the kiddos.

Babe slept ok last night. Two 3.5 hour stretches and two 2 hour stretches. I'm currently on coffee number 2 however; I absolutely hate staying up to pump .... She's currently almost on hour 2 of her morning nap. I've dressed K, gone through their current clothes and got rid of what is too small and put in some new stuff for spring. I'm also half way through my second load of laundry for myself. I have high hopes of tidying up today. The house looks like a tornado went through.
