Heading to a friend's gender (sex) reveal party soon. It will be the first time taking DS to a group setting. Hoping it goes well and that nobody is sick!
Does anyone else feel like they're drowning in laundry? I'm doing at least a load a day. I don't know how I'm going to keep up once I go back to work full time!
And cleaning the house? Ugh. I'm so behind on everything. It's driving me nuts because I'm a neat freak.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I want to start a routine of doing something small everyday. I have actually found a few apps to help with reminders and planning. There really is an app for everything

I understand "sex reveal party" just sounds very different from the intended party, but the term gender reveal drives me crazy. You don't know your kid's gender yet!
Dishes are my downfall. I swear the next place we live will have a dishwasher.
Umm if I didn't have a dishwasher I am pretty sure we would primarily use paper goods because "downfall" would not be a good description of the mess of dishes in my kitchen.
Yeah there are definitely evenings I don't cook because of dishes (either the sink has too many dirties or I'm just flipping sick of doing dishes). I haven't had a dishwasher the past 3 places I've lived.
Going to AW my DH he took the baby after the 7 am feeding and woke me up at 1030 with breakfast, sbux and flowers. I feel like a new woman! And I went out for a run after baby fell asleep
aggiebug Can you share some of the resources? I've been looking for daily cleaning lists to help manage everything but without luck. I've found some but just not a fan. I'm so far behind in cleaning right now.

Let us know if you like any of the apps / if they're useful.

I literally just downloaded a few apps to actually try. I have been trying to do some research on them but honestly there isn't that much info.
Martha Stewart has some pretty good printable lists of daily, weekly and monthly tasks.
I think I am going to break down tasks pretty specifically. Ie instead of clean bathrooms, break it down so I am doing something small throughout the week. Sweep/ mop the floors one day, clean the shower another etc.
We just bought a car!!! My little put put, my first car is no more. Sad but happy. It's pretty nice to have automatic windows, locks and phone conectivity. New car is a 2012 camry for the baby of course.

I went to a breastfeeding support group yesterday and my little chunker is up to 10lbs at 7 weeks! He also transferred 3oz during his feeding. This is helpful for knowing what size bottles to make for day care. I'll go for each Friday of my leave and see if the 3oz stays consistent.

My DH and I use some tips from the Freakishly Productive website for work and home productivity. Its more geared for work stuff, but I do use a few of the home organization and cleaning tips.
I hate being home alone with the kids during severe weather.
I was home alone during the last tornado outbreak while DH was on the road working. I'm glad he's home this time. Knowing he's basically in the path of a tornado is a very helpless feeling. I'll be thinking of you tonight!
My spam for the day is simply a desperate wish that LO lets me sleep more than 3 hours tonight. It's hard to do the store's paperwork and simple math at 5:30am with that little sleep
Also, I'm calling LO's doctor Monday morning because I'm so sure that he has silent reflux. He gasps while at the breast and the bottle and sometimes just sitting in his bouncer. He tends to cry at some point during nursing while arching his back, has painful gas, wet burps, hiccups often....I could go on. Anyone have any tips? I've mentioned it at his appointments before but the doc didn't seem concerned. Should I ask for a test? Are there tests for this?
I definitely feel like I'm very much that crazy paranoid FTM. :/
Today was a rough day. DD didn't want to nap today, and when she did it was on DH or me which she has never done before. She's usually good about napping in her swing, but every time we put her in it she would start fussing and crying. DH and I ended up swapping her back and forth all day. For the most part she was okay as long as she was being held or sitting on us, but this was just incredibly strange for her.
Any possible explanation, or just a moody day for her? I kind of miss the newborn that used to sleep almost all day (and I feel bad saying that).
What the heck?! Lately, nearly every time I feed, my other boob decides that it's jealous. I soak through my breast pad, my bra, and my shirt. The entire cup of my bra is nearly dripping.
This!!! Righty is my sympathy/jealous leaker. Ugh. So, so annoying. Sadly, Righty is my underachiever when it comes to milk supply. Get with the program. And in my house, Breast milk is considered liquid gold, so the fact that it leaks all over drives me insane.
We are going to try dropping a planned feed tonight. He's pooping right now so the stars are kind of aligning for him to get a really good solid block of sleep. Let's see!

I feel like this. Seriously. Laundry will stay in the washer or dryer for days at a time. It seems impossible to do. Housework? Yeah right. I can tidy things up, but real cleaning? Nearly impossible. Last week I asked DH if we could get a housekeeper, he said yes. I'll just get someone to deep clean 1-2 times a month.... Hopefully it will help...

And I'm tired of my clothes smelling like milk.
I've for one boob that always feels full and eta painful. Of course it generally has 1/2 the amount the other non diva boob has!
