H and I just went and ran some errands/did a little shopping.
My plan the the rest off the day involves planting flowers, ordering pictures from C's newborn session (no idea what I need/want) and maybe taking a nap.
mosdub J still wakes up every 3-4 hours. She's 10.5 weeks. I guess I say "once during the night" bc we normally go to bed at 10:30, so that gets her to 1:30, and then we always woke up at 5- so when her next feeding is at 4:30 am, that really just seems like the "morning."
So the once a night thing is the 1:30 am, but if we went to bed at like 9, and slept til like 7, it'd be 3 times a night- haha.

I eventually got DD to nap. It required an hour and a half long drive so DS would also nap. I treated myself to starbucks coffee and a cake pop. Only came home because I about peed myself.
DH is finally on his way home so I have a parenting partner until 6am then I'm on my own until Monday. I'm exhausted.
Does anyone know where I can customize a coffee mug for pretty cheap? I want to get this for my sister's birthday but don't want to pay a million dollars for it!
A friend of mine is baby-sitting tonight and I just finished my 3 pages of notes on J. A little excessive, but this is really our first night out without her. I'm pretty excited. We're going to this restaurant getting amazing reviews. It's not child friendly though, so we haven't been able to go.
My hair is straight, make up is on, nails done. And I kind of feel that excited feeling you get when you actually are still dating. Now...to think of things to talk about other than the baby....
glb30 - have fun tonight! I remember my first date with DH after DS1 and it was so hard to think of other things to talk about lol. I hope you have a great time!
There is a bird that has been repeatedly flying into the window all.freaking.day. Apparently it's a mating thing and it thinks it's reflection is another male? Whatever it is, it's super annoying!

I have had to repeat "you will never be this loved again" to myself over and over today. I need my children to go to bed so tbey will get off of me lol.

Can you put some post it notes on the window or something? Lol what a problem to have, surprised it hasn't knocked itself out yet

The website we looked at said the only way to deter it is put a mirror somewhere in the yard because otherwise it will just pick another window. It will apparently go away when it finds a mate. I wish I could hook it up with bird Tinder or something lol
glb30 Our first baby free dinner with DS1 we were gone a total of an hour because we were so nervous to be away! I hope you guys relax and can talk a little bit about anything non-baby related!

Earlier bedtime was NOT the answer for DD. I've been fighting the good fight for an hour and a half. She finished a 3.5 oz bottle and is currently nursing. I don't know what the hell to do other than just keep winging it and hope she settles into her own routine soon.
I love and hate H right now. He was holding C, and was making faces at him. In like 3 minutes, C smiled (big, gummy anyone) several times. He also mimiced the faces H was making. He never mimics me, and I try to get smiles all day everyday and rarely can get him to smile. I can't even really be mad, because the whole thing was adorable, but I'm a little jealous he does it for H!

I understand. DD loves DH. She's damn near close to giggling sometimes. But me...maybe one or two smiles a day.
Aww kaits8, they really do grow up fast! DS asked me the other day if I will always call him my baby, even when he's grown up, and it had me ugly crying in the car.
I'm late today but this made me cry. So sweet. We have a bunch of books with messages like this (like I'll love you forever) and I can't read them aloud - I start crying looking at the cover. Oof I'm a mess

Had a good day visiting BFF but I'm feeling weird. I'm freezing cold and can't seem to warm myself up. It's 72* in the house so I'm not sure what's going on with me. I checked my boobs and unless I'm missing something I don't think it's mastitis. Nothing hurts or looks funny.

This has been happening to me too. I am going to get my blood pressure checked again because something out me just still feels...wrong.
Funny story of the day: if dd1 farts or burps we tend to say "excuse you!" and if she farts we also say "did you toot!?" and it's all funny to her. So now if one of us burps or farts she says excuse you and will call us out for "tooting". Tonight h was doing bedtime and lying in her bed, she was lying on his chest. He farts, she immediately sits up all offended and says "Dad! TOOT!?!?" like "seriously, you farted in my bed!?"😆
The evening fussing continues. At least she can be consoled now, she just will not chill let alone sleep longer than 10 minutes. This better mean she's loading up for a big sleep.
My sleep situation would probably be a lot better if I managed to stop falling asleep in the glider. I fall asleep in it after at least one MOTN feeding and wake up with a sore butt/neck after an hour or two. Also, all of this MOTN feeding stuff right next to DS1's room has made me realize how often he moans/cries in his sleep and it breaks my heart.
Quiet here this morning. I hope that means everyone is still sleeping!
We're going to my brother's house in NJ today to visit. They're also doing a little sex reveal for their second child. I'm excited to find out if I'm getting a nephew or a niece!

Up and moving here after what almost turned into a long night. DD woke up at 3 and while I was feeding her DS woke up. Since DH was home i had him go deal with DS. At 3:30am, I'm not sure what is more annoying: the fact that DH couldn't hear DS yelling on the monitor or the fact that he was laying sprawled out across our entire bed since I was up with DD. Either way i wanted to hit him. Mostly out of jealousy.
