Tired morning here. Not exhausted but just tired. Got up to pump at 545 because engorged, set everything up and pumped for about 5 mins before C woke up. Ended up being able to pump right side while she nursed left, but she's getting squirmy and I always have visions of spilling a full bottle from my morning pump, since that's the only time I get more than a few oz.
Trying to reconnect with H each day a little bit. It seems like we've fallen into the parents role and left our husband and wife role behind. Normally at night we both sit in bed quietly on our phones before falling asleep. Last night I put mine down and snuggled into him. It was nice and made me realize how long it's been since I did. Still need to work up to wanting sex, but it was a start.
I'll be working on my grandma's house again today. Then we'll take the kids over to her new apartment. She's excited to have them over again and to show them off to all the old ladies.
We face timed mh this morning and ds was so cute with it. Indiana heard our voices and ran right to try to lick the phone 😂 She misses her boy.

pibblemom, Good on you for reconnecting. I need to work on that more. carrots, How cute! Love them @orangcrush, I'd be excited about new episodes, too. There's only so many reruns you can handle before losing your shit.
Well, I put out a request on the HM4HB-NM page. We'll see how it goes.
I am really really struggling not to purchase a corgi puppy I found for sale in our area. Like, the itch is bad. *sits on hands*
Eeek I love corgis thelittleredm!!! I wore a dress to work that zips up the back. Had to strip all the way down to pump and already dreading trying to get my zipper all the way back up on my own haha.

My friend had pre-e and ended up giving birth to her son at 31 weeks. He's now 3 weeks old, doing well, but still in the hospital while my friend is at home. Her shower was postponed since she was in the hospital on bedrest when it was scheduled for. Now, in lieu of a shower they're doing an "open house" for a few hours this weekend where you can stop by and say hi to them and drop off a gift.
If you were me, would you bring B? I'm not sure if I can go if I don't bring him because DH is working, but I can't decide if it's sorta insensitive to bring my new healthy baby over to their house when they'd obviously like nothing more than for their DS to be home with them. Am I over-thinking this...?

Work has been so busy this week. It's nuts. Yesterday E ate sweet potatoes and loved it! We also got her to sleep in her crib from 8 until about 12:30 last night. We had to pop in a bunch of times to put the pacifier back in her mouth but she did great. It's the small victories in life right now.

ellabee, Hm. Maybe you can tell her you'd like to come but you'd need to bring B. Ask if there's a time you can drop off a gift at another time, maybe? That way if she doesn't mind you bringing B, she'll tell you to come to the Open House and if she does mind, you have another time scheduled.
ellabee, thats a tough one I'm not sure what I'd do and I think it would be coloured by how close we are. I guess to be honest I would go, he's not new new and a quick visit should be okay.
thelittleredm, is it a real young puppy or is it an older puppy? Because no thanks to a puppy puppy and an infant and a toddler. Also, omg at all the hair!! It's beautiful! We're still bald 😂😂
ellabee, I like thelittleredm's idea, though I think since her baby is doing well, it should be a non-issue. Interested in peaseblossom55's opinion since she has been in the same situation.
otepoti, woo hoo for naps!! And woah at 18 lb baby 😳😳 C is barely tickling 13 lbs now and she feels heavy most of the time.

Thanks ladies I get nothing done at home because of him. I spend probably the first hour or so after work just trying to make him laugh. Which isn't hard.
This is so weird. My SIL recently underwent some marital troubles and despite some major infidelity decided to stick with her H. MIL hates SonIL (no surprise) and wants no sort of relationship with him. SIL wants to spend time with her parents, but only chooses to do so when her H and LO can come. The overall relationship has become strained and to top it all off there's some jealousy between her and my DH because we have an awesome relationship with their parents.
Well, we just heard that SIL "claimed" Mother's day dinner with MIL/FIL. As in, no one else can stop by to see them when they're there. WTAF?
We have a brunch with my parents, but were planning on stopping by to see DHs parents afterwards. Now we'll have to come earlier in the afternoon and leave when SIL shows up.
ellabee, it wouldn't have bothered me seeing another baby during E's NICU stay. That's just me, though and E was primarily there as a grower/feeder. She had no big issues, medical or healthwise. Also if B is the least bit sick I would not bring him. I was so fearful of being around others and people who were sick for fear of catching it and passing something on to E.

Puppies are so hard. That's just me though and we had the puppy from hell in our youngest and have vowed no more puppies ever. Females are at least easier to housebreak (usually). My boy took the better part of a whole year to housebreak and it was awful. If you decide to get her I really do wish you a very easy puppyhood.

So, we had something similar happen under very different circumstances.
My BIL and SIL didn't want to do our traditional Christmas morning gift opening/breakfast at my ILs one year. Whatever, they had a baby and maybe wanted to start new traditions. But then we found out that they invited H's parents over to their house for that morning but WASN'T INVITING THE REST OF THE FAMILY. Which is their thing to do if they want, really, because they didn't want to wake their baby up. But they invited SIL's family over. And the only reason my younger BIL got an invite was because he was living with his parents otherwise he would've been nixed from the invite list. MIL and FIL told them they'd have to wait until we were all done with normal Christmas morning stuff since they didn't want to invite us along. Which lead to us getting a last minute "invite but you don't have to come" invite.

We're pretty used to puppies. I grew up with them in the house (parents bred schnauzers) and we've gotten all of our dogs as little pups since H prefers not to have to retrain them. We actually had a corgi pup and border collie pup at the same time and they were only a month apart. But both were pretty chill so we didn't have many problems. We're also the go-to to foster puppies when our rescue ends up pulling any, especially young ones.

More power to you! I love to borrow and snuggle puppies, not so much the work. Very similar to the idea of more children 😜

Hahahahaha I have a friend in my mom group who refuses to have more kids but she's always the first to steal the babies for the duration of the play date Lol

We went out of spite.
I was thinking of being there up until SIL shows up (out of spite). I'd like to show her how ridiculous she's being by making her ask us to leave.
I suspect she's trying to improve my MILs relationship with her H and with her LO. She knows that if more people are around, her mom can more easily ignore him and her LO gets less attention.
I just think it's totally selfish and bratty and childish to be exclusionary on Mother's day.
