Saturday spam?

Happy Saturday! Hope all you Mommas get some well deserved rest today.

Today I am going with my bridesmaids to look at dresses for them. I am excited! LO is coming with me because H is working but for some reason I am convinced he's going to be good and not give me any problems. Fingers crossed!

[cougarette]

Have fun today, toadandbuggie. What color and styles are you looking for?

Thanks! I want navy blue long dresses with an elegant style. My color theme is navy blue, yellow, orange, and burgundy. But we will see what looks good/everyone likes!

DH took off yesterday and it felt like Saturday all day. As if I didn't already have a hard time keeping up with the days.

But I'm glad we don't have to hurry to get ready for church this morning. I hope DS has this same schedule tomorrow, though, because I think if he gets up at this same time we can make it on time.

Morning.
We are skipping our local Easter egg hunt because the weather is so cold. Good thing I didn't tell DD she was going! Instead we are colouring eggs and making cupcakes. Its such a bummer that Easter weekend is going to be below freezing this year.

Have fun today toadandbuggie! LO will be great and you have lots of hands to help, you should have an awesome time!

We had a great day yesterday, but a less than stellar night. The three of us went to my rugby club's Good Friday social. G got to meet his 4-day younger friend and everyone had fun comparing the two, including the other mom (mostly on a size and appearance level, they both slept through most of the gathering).

Today we're going to hang and move a car load to the new place.

I'm about to sneak out of my house to play Easter bunny. I have a huge bag of eggs to hide in our yard for DS!

[misshart00]

DS did not sleep at all yesterday and was an epic pain. But he slept okay, so I'm hoping today is better.

I got that spray tan yesterday and I am so dark. To normal people, it's not that dark. But glow in the dark me looks so weird in the mirror. I love it though. If only I could figure out how to do my makeup.

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

Last night was not fun! Too much crying not Enuf sleep!

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

Today we r meeting up with friends and aunts and going to an Easter festival

[aggiebug]

Happy Saturday. No plans today and it's kind of nice.

[mels823]

toadandbuggie, awwww fun! I wish my sister had us all go look for dresses together. Instead she told us what to buy and it cost almost $300 without the alterations. Ugh.

Today starts the beginning of birthday season with my inlaws! There is seriously a bday party every single weekend for the next 2 months. I'm not complaining. Cake and pizza? Yes please!!! Everyone was so happy that we had our baby in January so we didn't add to the spring birthday chaos.

My mom and dad get to see LO today for the first time in forever!! Well, 6 weeks for him, 4 weeks for her. She has changed so much since they saw her last, I'm so excited for them to see her smiles!!!

[mishka29]

Ugh a real shit night last night at the IL's. LO ate twice and woke me 6 times. We had a good run of sleeping til 5 am for a few days, it's hard to go backwards.

DD1 is having a great time with her cousins. Running around like a crazy person. Get all that energy out kid!

[kartish]

LO screamed through most of Good Friday service lady night. I had to go in the nursery and try to calm him down. He would settle for a couple of minutes, then when it seemed like he'd be okay, he would start again.

Then my mom came in and he calmed down for her in a minute. And then I feel like a terrible mom cause I can't soothe him.

[mels823]

I should be cleaning my house for our guests tonight, but I'm watching a marathon of really terrible sci-fi zombie movies on tv.... watching them with my baby. Am I a terrible mom?? She seems to be into them! She's doomed to grow up to be a crazy.

[flyster]

We are chilling at my parents house. No Plans But It Is Nice Out SO We Will Probably Go For A Walk later. I think my grandparents are coming over for a few hours too before we head to my aunts house.

Also no idea what was going on with my phone above. Must have hit something

Hey DD was fussy during the service last night too. Finally fell asleep 5min before it ended. And I say your mom just had good timing, sometimes it's just a matter of time or a change that soothes them not the person holding them.

toadandbuggie Good luck today! Your color scheme sound beautiful!

LO met my moms whole side of the family yesterday. Even my grandma was here and was excited to hold her great-grandchild. That was a little emotional!

Tomorrow we are meeting my cousins and uncles on my dad's side. My cousin had a baby boy in the begining of February so it's gonna be fun seeing him for the first time.

[jensoprano82]

Hope everyone has a lovely holiday weekend! LO has been working on a poop since 5:30 (and when he's working on a poop there is no sleep!) I think he may have finally just accomplished, it's 8:45... Thank goodness it's Saturday so I don't have to work

[mommadozer]

@toadabdbuggie have fun!!!

mels823 that is the worse. My soon to be SIL is dealing with a bridezilla right now. Expensive dresses, bridesmaids paid for their engagement party and they just found out that they are throwing a bridal shower for friends and both sides of family with a guest list of 60+ people. She's stressing. So much money....

kartish I know that feeling. DH can take LO and calm him down in 5 minutes after I have been struggling and trying everything in the book. I really think it's because DH isn't home with LO all of the time and LO can sense my anxiety. He's not that lucky all of the time. Thank goodness, he would be calling himself the baby whisperer.

My spam. I have to clean the house up for everyone coming over tomorrow and run a few errands. I finally got my MA diploma in the mail and the framing place has a 70% off coupon. Add that to the list of places to go today. Hoping LO is a trooper and let's me get these things done today.

DH isn't feeling well & was still in bed after DS's 730am feeding so I brought the baby to him cause baby cuddles always make me feel better. Plus during the week DH misses sweet happy awake time that DS has after this feeding. I got in bed too, and when DS got sleepy I took him back and we cuddled in bed and slept til 11. Glorious glorious sleep.

DH took DS to the Pedi this morning. DS had itchy/red/watery eyes for 2 days now, no fever- gave Zyrtec & Benadryl but no improvement. Yesterday, I noticed a rash (or bug bites?) on his ankles & behind his knees that worsened during the evening. Today, he has that rash all over his ankles, behind knees (not legs though), groin, chest, back & palms (not arms). It appeared to move upwards. It's patchy on his palms/feet but dot-like on his chest so I'm lost.

I hope he just got into something and isn't contagious to DD. It's tough trying to quarantine a 4yo & keep him from rubbing eyes/snotty nose then touching everything.

ETA: DS is current on his MMR vax. My first freakout thought was measles w/a newborn, but he hasn't shown classic signs/symptoms.

Update: DS has scarlet fever (basically strep throat w/a rash) so starting antibiotics.  Doc says DD should be ok as newborns typically don't get strep, but we're watching her closely.

[hollydfromtn]

DH took DS over to his parent's house this morning and let me stay home. I got 4 glorious hours of uninterrupted sleep. I haven't slept that hard in a very long time.

Hope you ladies get some well deserved rest today too.

DH worked last night so LO and I went out and did some shopping to help keep the house quiet. I am so excited--I got a new high impact sports bra from VS and it fits really well! The cool part is that the straps connect like a nursing bra so it's BF'ing-friendly too. It actually feels better than my normal nursing bras.

I wore LO in the Ergo for the first time while shopping. My core was not expecting that workout!

[cloe111479]

Walked the 10k that always happens here in nola on easter weekend. My legs are tired. But I needed to get my ass back in gear.

Now getting ready to go to fils for Easter egg hunt. I'll sleep hard tonight.

That sports bra sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[boxerrrmama85]

Best baby ever! She slept through target and Sam's club outings! Mama got her shop on and even got to unpack the car before she woke up!!!

[abb1701]

DS has been sleeping all day. He's only been up an hour max between naps. Tonight could really suck sleep wise. But he did sleep through our grocery trip!

[RedGiant]

Just finished setting up an egg hunt in my living room for DS (he's two), and have baskets out for both DS and DD with stickers, bunny ears for them to wear, a "carrot" made from a clear piping bag filled with goldfish crackers, some cadbury chocolate, and bubbles. Of course DH and I get to enjoy DD's snacks, and she will "share" her stickers with her older brother.

I hope to get good pics of them with the ears on. Anyone else doing fun Easter activities? (I should prob post this tomorrow, but I'm not sure how much down time I'll have)
