I wish I could sleep. For some reason I feel empty and weird like something is up but I just can't figure out what it is. I'm really upset about it. It's like I'm sad for no reason this has never happened before. Huff hormones
I'm up way earlier than normal - LO decided to only give me 4 hours instead of her recent 6-7, boo
Doesn't feel like the weekend... DH has to fly down to Virginia this morning and drive our new car the whole 8 hours back here, so he'll be gone all day (buying my dads car). But hurray for a new car, I feel like such an adult - we're a 2 car family!
Hope all your LOs are sleeping longer than mine tonight!
It's still friday here. I counted my bags of frozen milk today he eats 4.5 oz bottles so that's how I froze it. I have 30 bags! It makes me feel a little better knowing I have that since I'm contemplating weaning him this early which wasn't my original plan.
Technically Saturday here but we are just getting to bed here. LO slept a lot after his shots and then woke up to eat, have some Tylenol, and spit up all over both of us. I am kind of nervous to sleep, there was a story on the news of two attempted kidnappings like a mile or two from our neighborhood. A guy was coming into houses and getting into kids rooms. Stuff like that is one of the reasons that my kids sleep with me, so scary. My h is working so I am kind of scared to sleep until he gets home.
Baby is fussy and won't stay asleep because she is gassy. DH is snoring and I want to smother him. Go to sleep, baby. STFU, husband. Is 3:34 am too early for wine?
My job requires me to work weekends, which never really bothered me that much, until now. I've been off on the weekends since July because of being pregnant and having been placed in an administrative position. It was great to be able to spend weekends with FI and my son, and now the baby. Today's my first day back to weekend work. I'm so upset about it that I've seriously contemplated quitting my job, but I'll be smart and find a new one first. FI and I just worked through a rough patch that we're actually still working on and thanks to my job we're losing almost all of our available time together. We'll only see each other for like 4 hours a day. With kids and household chores and sleep and whatnot there won't be much time for just us. Because of the timing of losing our weekends together I'm extremely worried this might break us. I hate this...
Leap #2 seems to be upon us. Not to thrilled about this since it seems we only had a couple days in between that and the full week of the 6w growth spurt *sigh*
I did a boot camp workout yesterday, and OMG, I'm so sore.
DS2 got DS1's cold and didn't sleep well last night because of it. And his temp got up to 100.5, so we had to give him baby Tylenol. Poor guy.
My friend is in town this weekend, so we may do dinner (with family and kids). It's definitely different than our college days when we were young and care-free, but she's one of those friends who you see every once in a while, but you're super close, and every time you see them it's like your friendship never missed a beat.

My mom took the dictator overnight last night. So we went out to dinner and enjoyed some alone time. By enjoy I mean attempted to dtd and failing miserably. I'm hoping it's not so painful soon. I'm going to pick up the dictator soon and excited to see him! We have a bunch of weddings coming up so we need to get used to a night away from him.
I'm only awake because I had to put the corned beef in the crockpot and then the coffee smelled so good....so here I am. DD is happily cooing in her PNP while DH plays video games next to her. I wish this quietness could last forever.

I know how you feel I have to work weekends too, BOO!!!!! I am required to work at least half of the weekend days in the month and SO wants me to not work any weekends so we can have family time. I agree but it is a great job/pay so I have to suck it up for a while. I was actually thinking about working every weekend so I didnt need a sitter that much during the week ( I work 3 days a week/ 12hour shifts) but SO wasnt having that. I do miss my family on the weekends but we make up for it on the weekends that I am off and during the week. I hope you find a new job soon. Good luck.

It's funny you say that. We tried DTD last night after LO feel asleep, but we were cock blocked by LO waking up. Then he fell back asleep so we attempted again. Lets just say it didnt happen we both fell asleep during foreplay?!?!?!? WTF is that about. I guess that it the life of being new parents.
Well I have been MIA for a while, who knew that having a newborn could keep you so busy!!! I am working today, boo! We took H to his first rodeo yesterday and we didnt get home until late last night and then we attempted to dtd but fell asleep during foreplay!! I woke up sometime during the night and realized OMG what just happened!! SO was snoring so I guess he fell asleep too. I am going to take a break from work and go home to try and restart again (sorry TMI) LOL. Just have to get through today and tomorrow and then I have 3 days off in a row. I love the fact that I work 3 days a week! Yes they are long days but totally worth having 4 days off with my LO/family!
peggels24 - Thanks for the dinner idea! I'm totally going to make ruebens when I get home!
babyw15 - I'm super thankful I'm not on 12hr shifts. I don't know how you all on 10's and 12's do it. 8 hours is enough for me. Luckily, because of being a Federal employee I have a lot of options for jobs to apply for and still keep all my same benefits and retirement and I keep all my credit for years worked, etc.
So working today hasn't been too awful. I'm seeing I was a little over dramatic with my anxiety about coming back to weekend duty. I even got a chance to lurk the The Dump. Holy Mud! "Can I smoke pot while breast feeding?" "Cottage cheese spit up" I forget who on here is BigBobDole on The Dump, but I love you. In a totally, non-creepy, plutonic, internet stranger kind of way. :-p

It's beautiful and sunny here today. The calm before the storm. We are suppose to get another blizzard tomorrow. I'm so over this winter.
Little one normally has a long stretch of sleep, eats then goes down for another 3-4 hours. Not last night. He was only down for another 1.5 hours then up. Sucked for me because that's when ds1 started his day. The little guys went down for his morning nap after an hour and has been down ever since. Guess he's making up for this mornings lost hours. Which I got that those lost hours back too.
Oh well - it's sunny, he's sleeping and ds1 is contently playing so life is pretty great.

We slept in this morning so I'm postponing my long run until tomorrow since I feel like once I run half the day would be over. I'll actually set an alarm this time incase it happens again.
We are doing a few drive bys today of perspective houses to check out the neighborhoods/outside views. Then tonight we are going to a friends house for dinner. Should be a fun day.
DS2 is happily sleeping in the swing. DS1 wanted Mickey pancakes, but we're out of milk, so I substituted sweetened condensed milk + water for the milk + sugar. They were still good!
My sister and I went to Universal yesterday for Mardi Gras and it was tons of fun! We went on almost every ride, had lunch at Margaritaville, and got a bunch of beads at the parade! MKTO performed and were great live! My parents watched Z and she was a perfect angel for them My body is so sore this morning from walking around but it was worth it! Lol We got there at 12:30pm and didn't get back home until 1am! Daddy put Z to bed around 10 and she slept until 7am so I was able to get some decent sleep, but I'm still hoping she takes a long nap so I can too lol.
It's raining today. Bummer. For the last three days we went out for long walks, either in the stroller or the k'tan, I wonder if this has anything to do with O sleeping longer? So we are stuck in the house today.
Yesterday I went to the gym and did a bootcamp style workout....OMG I hurt so bad! But I lost two pounds this week!
Tomorrow I'm going to my mom's for lunch with my DH and MIL who is visiting for another week...hopefully my son gets some napping in while we are there.
I cut down to six pumps a day, I am leaking like crazy. F#ck pumping.
It's still friday here. I counted my bags of frozen milk today he eats 4.5 oz bottles so that's how I froze it. I have 30 bags! It makes me feel a little better knowing I have that since I'm contemplating weaning him this early which wasn't my original plan.
How many ounces a day does your LO eat? I feel like this chunker eats a lot! I offer 4 oz, he eats between 2-4oz but eats about 9 times a day still, most of that clustered over a few hours from 6-10pm. Total he eats about 30-35 oz/day.
pleirey I hear ya! I'll be working weekends as well. But this is new to me as I used to work 3 12 hour shifts a week. I'm very nervous about how it will affect our relationship. Unfortunately we are used to not having time together. For the past four years I was working full time and in school full time, having clinical on the weekends, working overnights....it's a strain to say the least. I hope you find a way to make it work....there are always Friday nights!

Congrats on the 2lbs! I gained 5lbs this week...I'm hoping that's water weight. Do you like that bootcamp workout? I'm debating on whether to do those or go to barre classes. Or I just might skip all that and go straight for adult ballet classes and get back into dancer shape. Bootcamp just sounds like less blisters for my feet. :-)

I bf him usually but when I do give a bottle it's 4.5 oz. Anything less than 4 and he is mad when it's gone! He nurses about 7 times a day and is sttn. If I gave him all bottles that would be 31.5 oz but I haven't given him more than 2 in a day. My struggle is his nursing sessions last between 30-50 minutes!
