Another Sunday :)

[staz]

Happy Sunday!  I'm headed back to work this week (Thursday) so I'm enjoying all the time with my little nugget that I can.  She's having a bad reflux day and H can't handle it, so looks like I'm doing all the feedings and fighting through them.  I'm hoping she goes back to her regular self in a bit because this blows.

I think I'm officially a cosleeping mom. With DS getting up 4 times a night and me being too tired to put him back (basically because I fall back asleep before he's done eating), I've just resigned to it for now. Just when you think you have parenting figured out, the next one throws you a curve ball. Hopefully I can figure out how to transition him out of here before H comes home. That's still like 5 months away. Plenty of time, right?

We're going to a baby craft fair today. Homemade stuff is always so cute and so expensive so I will probably be significantly poorer when I come home than when I left.

T-minus 2 days until my mom and sister come to visit!! Very excited.

I'm here. We went for a walk in the park organizes by DD's school and it was super nice. Then we went to the playground but the 4yo lost her damn mind so we had to drag her away kicking and screaming. Good times! I love the looks people give you when you drag your screaming kid away from someplace. I want to ask them, would you prefer that I stay so you can listen to this, asshole?

billybumbler - Ugh. Hugs. The parental judgement is insane. I honestly hate it and want to ask them what the f they're looking at. Kids throw fits - it happens.

J had a great time at her party, and she loved her cake! She actually used the ribbons to decorate her new Barbie house, so that totally worked out.

My parents were jerks, but whatever. Long story short there was some family drama earlier this week and they pulled me into the middle. It had nothing to do with me, and they acted like real assholes. Whatever. It's not my problem.

I go back to work tomorrow, so I'm trying to get my life together. Laundry, cleaning, etc. and trying to figure out what to wear!

The idea of packing lunch and pump stuff, dropping J off, getting to work on time, making it to the gym, getting J, and then all the nightly house stuff... I'm overwhelmed. And that's not including C's drop off/pick up routine and packing him up. FX MH steps up and makes up for lost time. He's offered to do J's drop off while he's still on leave, which saves me 30 minutes and a detour so that's nice. We'll see if he keeps it up!

I know right oldbaylover1024? I'd rather leave then let my kid be a tiny little jerk at the playground. At least she know we're serious when we say we're gonna leave if she doesn't listen.

My boobs are crazy. I'm having to occasionally pump off extra milk so that E can latch and nurse without being choked. This morning I decided to pump a bit so that he wasn't choking and freaking out at church. In about three minutes I pumped a cool 3.5 oz, and *then* fed him off of the same side. No wonder he's choking... and no wonder he's growing. This was first thing in the morning engorgement, not all the time, but gosh!

I've had to pack up S's 0-3 month clothing and bring out the 3-6. I bought someone's entire lot of baby girl clothing and I went through the 3-6 today. There's 18 pairs of baby pants and a ton of onesies and sleepers in that size. I think I'm all set!

[notagoddess]

I'm jealous of her outfits sometimes! Baby girl is styling in a motorcycle jacket and heathered sweats.

I told someone to "quit fucking staring" while DS2 was crying at the zoo yesterday. I just can't handle that. Like they've never heard a crying baby before.

Just catching up...

Holding a sleeping baby, because she can't manage to nap longer than 30 minutes today. Not sure what's up, but just rolling with it & enjoying snuggles.

In other news Ks Birthday is next weekend. We originally planned a party with our friends and their kids for Saturday, and cake/coffee on Sunday with family. It's my husbands family, and he "felt bad" not including them in Saturday's party. But I didn't want an additional 20+ people at my house (I'd be at 50 if they came).

Well not a single family member RSVPed to Sunday so I sent out a message to cancel. I'm so annoyed. 2 people texted apologizing for not getting back to me, still didn't hear from anyone else....how am I expected to prepare if I have no clue who is coming? It drives me crazy that his family just rolls like this. I'm way to anal for that crap.

Whew! Made it! We all arrived to church on time and babes were great! LO1 turned into a brat after church during the. Autism because BIL was watching and he doesn't pay attention so nephew and her were being terrors...so embarrassing since we don't let her behave like that.

Lunch was good too. My aunt come over to co the lasagnsas only negative is we ran out of all our beer. Literally cleaned out the beer fridge!! Sign of a good party??

Now to finish feeding babes then open gifts...

I'm currently fighting with BRU on the phone while H hangs out in the store. We tried to get a carseat with in store pick up, but they cancelled the order. They DID have the carseat but now my rewards points are on hold from the cancelled order. BLAH. I hate talking to people on the phone and I'm on with a supervisor now. Poor H! What a colossal waste of time. Apparently he's hanging out in the glider section Convertible carseats are on sale for 20% off right now and our nanny starts next Monday so I wanted to have an extra seat for her car seeing as we're going to need it eventually.

[staz]

Apparently they can't take the hold off or something. The employees in store keep saying to call the help line. I'm BULLSHIT right now.

ETA:  H talked to the employees in the store and THEY called the help line.  It only took an hour and a half to buy a carseat but we have it.

[billybumbler]

How annoying staz, I'm sure that's not how you wanted to spend your Sunday.

My first day of work was Friday but P was with my mom, she starts daycare tomorrow. It's the same school DD1 is in and she legit just moved out of the infant room two weeks ago (that room goes up to 18mo). So I know the teachers and the school but I'm still sad. I spend the evening packing her bags and labeling her clothes. Tomorrow will prob be tough but I think far easier than it was with DD1 since they were all strangers then.

I seriously want to petition the city to make my corner a 4 way stop instead of a 2. Jackass(es) are constantly burning rubber and driving like assholes as they leave work from the industrial area above us and always between 8 and 9 when I'm trying to get my baby to sleep. WTF. You are driving a vehicle in a residential area. Stop driving like an asshole. If I wasn't in here feeding DS to sleep I'd be out there trying to film and catch the idiot(s) and report them to police. Beyond annoying the shit out of me it's just dangerous.

My baby will be starting daycare in a few short hours. I'm a wreck and spent a good chunk of yesterday crying.

MIL came over for dinner last night. It didn't go well. I think we're getting to try to take some space from her. I think because she babysits for us so frequently (1-2x per week), she feels entitled to certain things and has lost all boundaries.

She's very well intentioned but it's too much and even DH agrees and sees it.
