Friday! Spam

[aggiebug]

Wahoo

[aggiebug]

It's a fantastic Friday spam Wahoo.

DD slept 7hrs and the H gave her a bottle so I slept from 10:30—7. He even had control of the monitor so I didn't even wake up to her noises. I feel like I have super powers.

I admit a small part of me is envious that she slept so long on H's night and I had 2 nights of fussing every 20-30min for hrs on end. But let's be honest if that happened last night I would have been dealing with it.

Yay for good sleep!

DS inexplicably woke up at 1:30am, all excited and ready to party. He was smiling, cooing and being all kinds of cute. It was so sad for me to have to pretty much ignore him when he was being like that but I didn't want to encourage it, in the middle of the night. It took two hours to get him back to sleep and then he was up an hour after that, hungry again. Of coarse, now that it's a reasonable time to be up he wants nothing to do with this day. He's still snoozing.

In other spam, I have to take DD1 to her elementary school today to register for kindergarten. Such a big girl! Where has the time gone? DD2 will be starting preschool in the fall as well. It's going to be so weird to just have one kid home with me but I'm looking forward to the quality time with DS.

[aggiebug]

Awww yay for big sister!

My SIL is in town! She lives across the country and is meeting DS for the first time. DD loves her and we always have a fun week when she is home. I think we are going to go to an aquarium next week with the kiddos. I am pretty excited.

DSs eczema has flared up today. I feel so bad for him. Its so red and swollen and his cheeks are so bad today. I also have to try and brush DD's hair before we leave and that is about as easy as giving an angry cat a bath.

Anyone else losing their hair yet? Mine just started coming out in clumps. Ugh. Nothing makes me feel more like a man than having a baby!

[miniwheat]

mamabisme, I am looking into preschool for my DD next week as well! I am so sad she has grown up so fast. I know that she will thrive with a group of other kids, I just want her to stay little forever. *sob*

[toadandbuggie]

DS is snoring peacefully since 7am... what is going on? I could be sleeping but I'm taking the opportunity to just relax without having to tend to a baby.

It's rainy here so I'm thinking of taking a mall trip and just walking around...

Tomorrow I get to try on my wedding dress! I am super excited!

[toadandbuggie]

aggiebug, That sleep sounds *amazing.* H always has to get up at 4am to go to work so it's never practical for him to take a night shift!

[mommadozer]

@manabisme that is the worst when they are alert and being adorable at 1am.

miniwheat oh no. I haven't lost my hair yet but, I can tell that my horomones are changing. Acne all over my body and my lovely period showed up yesterday. I was hoping it would stay away a little bit longer.

My spam. I have to start looking for a part-time nanny. Originally my mom and MIL were going to split two days a week. DH called MIL to discuss the days that we were hoping to take because she does not work, she tells us she does not want to do it anymore. WTF!? I'm so annoyed that she would not have told us that sooner. Kinda saw this coming, she dumped DH and his brother on her in-laws their entire childhood and never really raised kids.

He is off today which helps. I try to avoid him taking the night shift when he works the next day.

[misshart00]

DS sleeps through the night a lot but when he doesn't, he usually gets up between 3 and 4. Last night, he decided to wake up at midnight. What the heck?! And DH and I had just gone to bed because we stayed up talking. Grr.

[jensoprano82]

toadandbuggie - that sounds so exciting!b(the wedding dress)

Add me to the "it's still dark out but he thinks it's party time!" List. I'm watching him grin away as he slowly shows me how futile my swaddling efforts are across the room. Quit squirming you're supposed to be sleepy!!!!

[flyster]

Going to visit LOs day care today. I have so so many more questions then I did before he was born! Hopefully all goes well. He starts in 2 weeks on his 3 month bday

[hollydfromtn]

Fixing to go drop DS off at the in laws so that I can head to the gym. They get so excited when they get to watch him. There's also a huge festival going on in the next town over that I'm thinking about dragging DH to this afternoon. I'm going to pitch it as research for our ETSY shop. We're hoping to start doing festivals next year.

[lilyelayne]

Yay for the good sleepers and hugs for the bad.
miniwheat no noticeable hair loss here at 6 weeks pp
toadandbuggie yay wedding dress!
mommadozer ugh you think your MIL would've given you the heads up when she changed her mind instead of waiting on you to ask about it.

DS was fighting his nap hardcore despite clearly being tired, so we're outside rocking in the porch swing. Now that he's sleeping I should go inside and get ready for the day, but it's pretty nice out here.

I feel like I need to learn local bird songs so I can say something more educated than "there's a bird. And another bird. And a third bird." when outside talking to DS. I know the whippoorwill and one type of woodpecker and that's it.

I've been thinking about these faux leather leggings I tried on at Express a couple of weeks ago. I just called the store, they have one pair left and it's in my size. Is obviously fate and I'm taking DS to the mall right now to buy them. And then probably have Auntie Anne's for lunch.

Auntie Anne's!! I constantly craved then when I was pregnant. I would get a plain pretzel with marinara and cheese sauce. Mmm.

Also, I kind of want those leggings.

We're having a good day so far. LO slept from 10:30-3:30 last night, which means I did too. That's a long stretch for him and it was glorious.

He had his 2 month shots this morning and was SO good. He was sleepy, which I think helped. Just cried for a few seconds and then back to sleep.

And I'm holding him now and he laughed 3 times in his sleep. So stinkin' cute. Is it too early for them to laugh? It might be, but it sounded like laughing to me!

Mine laughs occasionally. I say go with it.

mommadozer That sucks about your MIL! I'm so sorry!

DD is being such a good baby today. I think she is making up for fussing from 2pm-11pm yesterday. I'm enjoying all the baby snuggles!

[cloe111479]

at work and it's so empty today. I love and hate that at the same time.

9wks pp and no hair loss here.

I'm browsing the board, online shopping and pumping but wish I could be home with my little booger.

Anyone else sort of found a nickname for their little one? I think started calling her lil' booger and now DH and I call her that all the time.

[cloe111479]

And I know it's a great problem to have but... Why is my right boob aka righty suddenly producing like almost a whole other bottles worth during pumps. I just had to switch bottle way earlier and will have to move it to a bag at work since I don't have that many bottles!

Lefty is going to get a complex.

Mine switch occasionally which produces more.

Yesterday, aside from the salad I ate, I ingested copious amounts of cookies. I completely justified it by reminding myself, and DH that they were "lactation cookies."

DDs birthday party is tomorrow. I've agreed to make My Little Pony Rainbow Dash cupcakes and Pinky Pie cookies.... This should be interesting..... Hopefully zero casualties...

[mommadozer]

cloe111479 my girlfriend that has a 9 month old told me that she pumped 16 oz in one morning. Makes my boobs hurt just thinking about how much milk that is and how many medela bottles.

We have a few nicknames for LO. his first name is Henry but we always call him Hank. DH and I gave a few hanky panky, hanky spanks, and our newest one is Hankers.

Happy Friday y'all!

I just saw this on reddit, and thought I'd share. It's ridiculous:

I keep calling DS Bubba or Goob. DH thinks its mean to call him Goob, but its from the Meet the Robinsons movie.

My MIL just bought a minivan and I love it. It has so much room and I can walk to the back seat without getting out of the car! I never in my life thought I would want a minivan, but I'm considering trading in my car.

[mels823]

So glad that I can post from work! Just found this out. Now I'll be cluttering up the spam boards left and right!!
