Good morning. It is dsrkv(thanks DST), and rainy here makes me want to go back to sleep but alas I feel like that cartoon!
LO still sleeps on our room and I won't think about trying to move her for several more weeks at least. I am traveling to see my parents in a few weeks and it's not work trying until we get back and settled again.
Ha and I can hear the dogs whining in the bedroom with H to get out. Yeah I can't come and let them out and when I bring DD in I have to pump so I won't be taking care of them either. Sorry not sorry H
LO is making so much noise in the cosleeper. How is he still awake after laying in there for an hour? Ugh. DH is sound asleep. I want to sleep too, c'mon kiddo, sleep already.

this!!!! My LO has been doing this and he would cry trying to find me. I bought the homedics sound machine that has projections on the ceiling and these projections help keep him occupied. Since, I have turned the projections on, it has been much easier for him to fall asleep.
Just when I thought DD had developed a 2h sleep/eat schedule she surprised me with a 3h sleep strech tonight, causing me to wake up panicked just to make sure she was breathing. I guess this is how it will be from now on... DH was also totally annoying me and then came through at the most unexpected moment which caught me of guard. Now it's taking everything I have to controll the tears before my friend come to visit in 30 min...
LO has been soooo nice to his momma last night. He had feedings at 8. 9 and 10pm which is quite a bit for him. 2-3oz each time. He passed out on his own and didn't have our next feeding til 2am. Gotta keep this schedule going. Now if I can get him to eat more at 2am to get him to sleep til 6am.
LO is cosleeping with me for now. He used to only sleep in his swing but, he is over that now. In a couple weeks, we will transition to the crib since I have to go back to work in the beginning of May. I want him in his crib by the time I go back.
DD slept for 5.5 hours straight! Yay! But that was after being up from 8 pm until 1 am, fussing and crying from 10:30 on. Boo. That's what I get for letting her sleep in the car seat while running errands throughout the day.
Happy Pi day! Go enjoy some yummy pie to celebrate this nerdy day. :-D
How old r the Los that are being moved to the other room / crib?
[br We did it fhis past week right when she turned 1 month. She's an "angry" sleeper meaning she makes noise all night long like a tossing and turning. So we tried her out on her crib to see how she did and see if I could sleep better with just a monitor and not the constant noise coming from the bassinet. It has worked well for us since I don't hear her nearly as much and she doesn't mind the bigger space.
For anyone looking for a workout video I did Fitmom and was quite happy with it. It can be done with our without baby and has several modifications to make it easier or harder as desired. For anyone looking.
PS I got it through my library system so you should check out what they have available to you there and many times you can request items too.
DH is my hero! I got to sleep in until 9:30 because he took DS after his feeding and dealt with the girls when they got up. DS ended up going back to sleep for 3 more hours so I didn't wake up until I heard him starting to fuss at 9:30. I came out to find him holding DS and fixing my coffee and the girls quietly coloring. Boy, did I pick the right man to have kids with. Best dad ever. I love weekends!
I didn't change DS's diaper before feeding this morning and I think it helped with a better latch since he wasn't crying.
Some of DH's aunts are coming by today, so of course MIL will be here too. I'd like to go a whole week without seeing her face. Shoot, maybe even just 3 days.

My dad and stepmom are on their way to visit with my little brother. They live 2hrs away so this is the first time they're getting to see DS since the hospital. I'm so excited!

MIL leaves tomorrow and then we're relative free until my mom comes on Saturday. At least I can tell my mom that she needs to go do something somewhere else. So tired of relatives up in my grill, trying to steal my baby. I only get to play with him during MOTN feedings with ILs here.
This is the first few times since LO was born I've been back here. I don't know how ya'll do it! I haven't known what a computer is for a few weeks now!
DH grandparents have been here this week helping out. LO has been up every hour this morning eating then sleeping. I've slept 30 minutes in the past 6 hours...ugh...so glad I don't have to go to work.

I'm going to complain about something stupid for a minute.
My husband has been all over the country and the world. He has practically seen it all. But he's never been on a cruise. So we were planning one for just the two of us in October 2016. That way the kids are old enough to be with grandparents and we can save up. Super excited. And I know this is stupid, but I'm excited to get to be with him the first time he does something, since he's done everything else.
MIL tells me today that she's planning a big family cruise for Christmas this year. She always plans these big extravagant trips and expects us all to go since she's paying for it (just the room though). A) I have an irrational fear of taking my kids on a cruise right now. Just because they're so little. B ) going on vacation with a 10 month old and my MIL sounds awful. She took us to Vegas in September and H and I had to sleep on the pull out couch with a one inch thick mattress that was falling through (I was also pregnant).
Side note: we want to be the first to take our kids to Disney world when they're 5 or 6 and can get excited, etc., but MIL has also talked about us all going in 2017. Ugh. Plus, after the awful Vegas trip (more than just the bed), I don't really have a desire to go on any trips with her.
