Happy earth day

[aggiebug]

What are you doing to save the world today?


I actually have snacks for small group so I hope to make dirt cake to take with me.

Is my baby the only one who wakes up full out screaming? Every. Single. Time. It's a miserable way to start the day and it's really getting to me lately. Especially today when he's perfectly fine but insists on crying anyway.

Not looking forward to a whole day of this.

I started getting a migraine last night, and I didn't know where our migraine medicine was so I stole one of DH's Mountain Dews. This was at 9. I was up until 2am cleaning and feeling just absolutely manic with energy and excitement. Caffiene usually does nothing to me, but I guess it's been long enough and my body chemistry is different enough that it does what it's supposed to do!

I'm up for the day now since I have an early doctors appointment. Yikes.

At least the migraine went away.

DS has a bit of a cold. His temp is elevated and he's coughing, sneezing and congested. Yesterday he had all of those symptoms and an upset stomach. He was not wanting to eat as much, spitting up a lot, gassy and had diarrhea. Thankfully, the tummy stuff seems to have mostly subsided. Hope he can kick the rest of it soon. Neither of my girls got sick when they were this little (both were over 1 the first time). Poor guy. He's so pitiful.

Not much planned. Maybe a fun trip to the dump. Its beautiful again today, so another walk going to happen, and hopefully during LO's naps continuing to clear out the evil pakisandra that is apparently also harboring poison ivy. We are are going to make a sitting area by our front door.

we had this last night too. not good.

I cleaned out my closet yesterday while DD napped. I have a pile for donation, a fair amount I hope to fit into again once I stop nursing and a pitiful collection that I can currently wear. I have about 10 shirts I can wear 5 of which I purchased this past weekend and several that are just passable but really don't look that great. I need some clothes I also have one pair of shorts. I think I know what dd and I are doing today.

Dd has her 2 month checkup today. Which means shots. I hate those.

[cougarette]

junebugjam DS doesn't wake up crying all the time. However, when he wakes up he only shows his hunger cues for about 30 seconds and then he gets hangry. It's hard to get him latched on when he's crying like he's starving.


ace226 I'm glad your migraine went away! Caffeine helps me too, but it's usually not enough.

[mishka29]

Rough night with 4 wake ups. Damn crib transition.

I was supposed to have a landscaper come this morning for a consult. He didn't show. Didn't call. Didn't reply to my message asking wtf. Why am I not surprised?! I hate hiring people to do things bc you never know who you can trust. At least this guy showed it quickly.

[cougarette]

DS did not want to fall asleep last night and then was up every 2 hours again. At least my boobs aren't as angry this morning.

[cougarette]

My SIL is being induced today! Her baby was also measuring small (so was her first. I think our husbands' family just makes small babies) so they're inducing about a week early.

I'm glad N is getting a new little cousin. They'll be exactly 8 weeks apart!

cougarette That's exciting! GL to your SIL

DD hasn't pooped for three days. Today when I went to wipe her butt I found what looked like spider webs there! Haha, it was actually just fibres from the CD that had stuck to her bum, but the image of webs occuring because she hasn't used the place in a while cracked me up. I know, I'm weird! Waiting for a poopsplosion and secretly hoping it occurs when DH is home so I can stick it on him to clean it up.

[anchovies]

I hope your LO feels better soon mamabisme that's good the tummy part seems to be over with at least

badw0lf definitely need a picture of that! Any advice on how to relieve gas?

Hugs to you and your DD. DS had his this past Monday. It just breaks your heart I had to keep telling myself it's far better than contracting one of those nasty diseases

DS hasn't gone since Sunday. I'm also nervous for a poopsplosion and don't want to sit him anywhere. I really don't want to clean a car seat or swing.

Oh man, I hadn't even considered that... Now I'm gonna be nervous about using the stroller today. We have a sheep's skin in the bottom that I wouldn't even know how to clean...

[mommadozer]

junebugjam yes! DS has learned a new cry that is just awful! Sometimes I think it is because I don't hear him squirming in the night and it just gets to that point. But, he has been super gassy past couple of days and that might be the problem.

ace226 migraines are the worst! Some nights I would love to stay up and clean but, DH is such a light sleeper. I can't stay up late doing stuff without being told by him to go to bed.

@mambisme hope DS feels better soon.

@nolagal I had no idea that NO still allowed smoking in bars. I live in California, the state of unnecessary laws and sometimes forget that other states are more relaxed about things.

aggiebug I have the same problem. I need to go through my clothes but I am scared to get rid of something that may fit in a month or so. But, I am kinda a clothing hoarder. I need to do my annual "if you haven't wore it in a year, donate it" cleanse.

I am going to get my hair done today. she is touching up my ombré and I have this urge for her to put a fun color in (just a little bit). But, I don't want to go back to work next month next month looking like a wild child. We will see what I will actually do, I usually chicken out.

[modernfairytale8709]

LO is it Mamaw's again, and I'm feeling guilty for loving every minute of my "time off."

I have to bake a wedding cake for this weekend, and I'm seriously procrastinating. Who's idea was it to agree to make a wedding cake while on maternity leave? Cause I can't see my pre-baby self being that stupid. Leh sigh.

[michelle142]

DD was a champ. Only cried a little right as she got jabbed.
Now she's sleeping in her carseat and I'm afraid to wake her up.

[cloe111479]

Survived the night just dd and I while daddy went to the baseball game. It was actually nice to be just us girls and the weather was great too! (This just means the oppressive heat and humidity will be here soon)

Successfully got chilli up while LO was napping then playing. I feel like a rock star. I just need the veggies to boil down a bit so I have room to add the meat.

I did the same thing yesterday. I piled all my maternity stuff that doesn't fit anymore and moved some stuff that does fit, but I can't wear for nursing to one section.  The section that fits and I can nurse in is very very small. My mom is visiting next week and we are going to go to the outlets so I can have a few more things to wear to work.

Brady did the same when he had his yesterday! I was stoked! I hope she continues to handle it well.

My ILs live in Michigan and posted on FB that it was snowing this morning. I'm glad I live in NC. It is 75 today. I hope it warms up for you soon. 

[lotsofdotts]

Brady had shots yesterday and basically slept the entire afternoon. He didn't want to eat; he just wanted us to leave him alone and let him sleep on his tummy on his play mat. I was sure he would be up all night, but he only got up once at 3:30. Little man is a champ!

My two older kids always go to their dad's house on Wednesdays. Today my DD called home from school saying she was sick. I texted my ex and he said he couldn't leave work to get her, so I went to pick her up. My ex then texted me and said it would probably be best if she just stayed with me. Not to sound horrible because I am glad she is with me, but he just doesn't want to deal with it. I have a feeling she is going to start being "sick" on Wednesdays because she will think it will get her out of going over there. BTW, she is fine. She is on the sofa playing games on her ipod and asking me what she can do to help with Brady.

[aggiebug]

I am seriously losing my shit with DD not sleeping anywhere but on me during the day. My ILs are coming and I can't get the house clean. I can't even cook dinner because she also screams most of the time I baby wear her.

She is making me a flipping couch potato and I freaking loathe it.
