Agreed @holachica! I missed our hot tub when I was pregnant. I felt so sore and tired and I couldn't go in.
I accidentally overbooked my anniversary. We have an appointment, a preschool tour and gymnastics starts for DD. Whoops... bad wife! Now I am scrambling to find him a nice gift cause I feel bad!
We're up with a busy day ahead. DH is at the gym and I'm sitting around procrastinating. I have to go shopping for clothes for DS since he's entirely outgrown all 3m stuff and we don't have a lot of 6m stuff. I also have a bunch of the girls old toys and clothes we wouldn't mind getting rid of so I'm thinking we'll just go to the kids consignment store and take care of both problems at once.
Later we have a cheer meeting for DD1 and art class for DD2 (DH is doing cheer, I'm doing art). Then, home for lunch and back out to a fundraiser for a non-profit children's museum they at building in our town. I'm hoping to get dinner at one of our favorites. It's a taco/burrito place right on the beach. The girls love it because they have outdoor seating so they get to see the beach and we usually go walk it after dinner. DH and I love it because they have the most awesome food and lots of interesting beers. I'm going to be looking forward to it all day!
I slept in today! Got out of bed at 7:45 since DH got up with DS, and DD kept sleeping. Today I'm trying out a Stroller Strides class at 9 am, then at 11 my mom is coming to watch the kids so DH and I can get lunch and maybe a movie. Since DD keeps rejecting the bottle I may stop back home between lunch and movie to nurse her. Strange setup, but works for me.
I've been MIA pretty much the last 3 days. Between DH working second shift and having visitors, It's been a little crazy.
Thankfully, DH has a 3 day weekend now. We are just hanging out in bed with the dogs and DS. No big plans, going to barre at noon and DH is taking DS to his MBA group project meeting so I can go. He will likely sleep in his car seat.
Yup. Awake here. Since before 4:00. It's starting to wear on me. I really need an 8 hour stretch of sleep.
I have nothing going on today. Tomorrow a bridal shower for a wedding I'm in next month. I haven't lost all the baby weight, but I can fit in the dress. I ordered one size up, just incase... It fits the boob area, but everything else is going to be too big. Ugh. I'm excited for the bridal shower. It's the last of 3. I take DS with me and everyone LOVES him!!

Yayyy for Saturday and yay that Saturday still feels like every other day at the moment! My inlaws are arriving tonight for 10 days. They're stereotypically Greek and really get on my nerves, but they're also lovely and helpful. I feel torn! badw0lf good luck with the headache /migraine. Hoe you can take singeing decent for it :/
DD slept 10p-6a for the first time ever! However.... that meant extremely sore, leaky boobies. And dog pooped in the dining room, stepped in it then ran back to our room. Grrrrrr. Can't get mad at her since we have gotten into habit of letting her out during MOTN feeds, but didn't anticipate starting my day on hands-knees cleaning puppy poop prints.
DH and guy friends are going to an all-day alternative concert. At least my parents are coming over after lunch to help w/kiddos. It's been severe thunderstorms all week but today is sunny 90 degrees so may hit the park later.
ETA: Shopping score! Team Green so I hit up our resale shop and got cute baby summer dresses (all infant/toddler stuff is $1.50/ea). I'm just starting to buy girl clothes

mamabisme your day is crazy busy. Hope it's a good kind of crazy! badw0lf hope your headache gets better. anchovies enjoy the three days with your H off work! Mom2Ms have fun at the bridal shower tomorrow!
I was exhausted last night. Both times DS woke to eat, I would go to the nursery, latch him on, and fall asleep. Wake up later with him asleep in my lap and go put him back in his pnp. Felt a bit better when he woke at 8. During that nursing he had a giant poosplosion so now he's had a bath and is sleeping on DH. All of this means I didn't make it to yoga class like I'd hoped. One day I will have a spam that isn't about sleep or poop.

Good morning. DS was wide awake at 4am. DH is out of town. So, I moved DS into bed with me. Somehow I get lucky and he goes to sleep when he sees me fall asleep.
Going to a girls brunch this morning. Quiches are ready on time but, I am not ready. I feel like a champ, breastfeeding DS in one hand and applying makeup in the other. Hope I don't look like Mimi from Drew Carrey when I look in the mirror.
We were up and running errands with DD (BRU and Kohls... And my vice- McDonalds breakfast!!). Now we're back and contemplating going to a anniversary celebration at my husbands chiropractor- he's doing free adjustments today and that sounds pretty much perfect right about now. There's also a huge consignment sale in my area this weekend so I might hit that up if DD cooperates...

mommadozer mad multitasking skills! wimcgrath free adjustments? I hope you're already on your way. ace226 eating is so inconvenient. Unless it's cookies. I always manage to find time to eat cookies. Sigh.

So my emotionally (and one stunning instance of physically) abusive ex boyfriend sent me a friend request on fbook. Just what today needed. No, dude, eight years later we're still never going to be friends.
(Oh and please don't quote this post; I'll probably get paranoid and delete it later. Sigh. Even just thinking about him makes me so crazy twitchy.)
@holachica we get it at least (but usually only) once a week. It's so yummy! We hardly get McD's for other meals, but I love the breakfast... And the iced coffee!
lilyelayne ... Unfortunately didn't make it to the chiropractor in time due to DD's fussiness/ tummy issues. Boo! I will use this as leverage for a massage later from DH! Still, I feel pretty out of whack from pregnancy and now nursing so I should really make an appt.

Visiting with DH's grandparents today.
DS seems to have a little cold. He's been coughing and sneezing a bit, but is otherwise happy. Does this warrant a doctor's visit as he's under 2 months?

i would just watch for fever. Hope he feels better!
Thanks! I'm know I'm probably just a worried FTM. DH keeps saying he's fine. The pediatrician scared me at the meet and greet saying how bad it was to be sick under 2 months.

Hanging out in my ILs back yard. My nephews are splashing on the steps of the pool, other people are cuddling my baby, and I just had my first alcohol since I got knocked up. Cheers, Saturday, you're not half bad.

DD sneezes and coughs quite a bit off and on. I think it is mostly when she spits up and it goes up her nose.
If he is otherwise feeling fine and like @nolagal said doesn't have a fever I wouldn't think he is truly sick.

We were told to be a bit extra careful with sicknesses before 3 months because LO had had meconium in his waters at birth, but also only if he had a fever or was behaving dull or drowsy. I still call up every time he gets the sniffles just to hear them reassure me that I don't need to bring him in, though hehehe!
Can I just say how grateful I am to have found this site?? I almost didn't move over from TD, thinking I was wasting too much time online, but I have needed this postpartum! It's helped me feel so much more human. I'm so glad to know everything I'm feeling is 100% normal. It's so much easier to deal with the hormones/mommy guilt/all the bad stuff that comes along with the awesome stuff knowing everyone else is feeling it too! I think without this community I'd be a lot worse off. More stressed out and worried and lonely!

So just a thank you, F15.
Agree! I debated on coming over too. I was around TD for around 3 years and witnessed a previous mass exodus, but I could never get into the other site.
I needed this way more PP than during pregnancy. Pregnancy is rough, sure, but this is on a whole different playing field.
I third that sentiment. There have been points where I have felt like a miserable failure as mom, wife, homemaker and a person. To the point where I was embarrassed to discuss these feelings and why I felt them with most everyone in my life. Being able to discuss freely on here and realize I am not the only one facing these struggles and having the same self doubts for the same reasons has made a huge difference. We aren't failures we are normal and it is ok.
