Lazy butt isn't ready to start the day. We are letting him sleep so that he will be in a good mood for the beach. I wish I could just fall asleep anywhere like he does.

DD had a great first day at daycare. She didn't scream at them all day, so I'll call that a win. She only took 3 of the 4 bottles that I sent, which is good. I was hoping that she wouldn't take all 4, because 5 bottles (1 at home + 4 at daycare) is a lot of milk to pump! 4 overall is a bit more manageable.
Posting and running. We are on our way to Mammys funeral and of course I pack my pump but not the parts so looks like this is going to be a short day. Also DS has not pooped all week and is super cranky. His farts could clear a room. I will not be surprised if he has an epic blowout during the service.
Good luck today with the funeral. I hope your LO contains himself... quite literally. How are you with hand expressing? I did that the last few weeks, actually went faster than with the pump, but gave me wicked hand cramps
I'm so ready for the weekend! I'm already tired but we have a very busy day. DS woke up demanding milk at 4:30, this morning. I had my alarm set for 5:15 to make it to the gym for spin class. So, by the time I nursed and got him back down it was too late to lay back down so I just went in early. Did spin and cx works.
DD1 is off school today. We are supposed to go to my mom's house to swim this morning and we have a play date this afternoon. The play date was supposed to be at a park but it's supposed to rain so it looks like it's moving to my house. Great. Now I have to clean.
Oh well. We have a low-key weekend planned and I'm so looking forward to it.
Today was our first cloth diaper blowout. It was through the legs, at the gym, and in the car seat. I only got through half of the lifting portion before needing to deal with that. I saw immediately that the cause was DH not tightening the diaper enough. I got G cleaned up and changed and was able to get the cardio portion done. So right now, instead of going and dealing with the other apartment, I'm washing the car seat fabric. I am displeased.
Also, SIL is eating crackers for me again, so I'm trying to focus on other things.
It's the first night of the spring touch rugby league tonight, so here's hoping I survive both games.

This is my second time as an adult to see nkotb. The real draw this time was tlc and nelly.
(As my mom has sent me YouTube links this morning with no scrubs and hot in herre to get me in the mood! She's crazy... Good crazy but crazy.
Last year when Beyoncé and jayz were coming I told her year I would go but budget wise I had to stay around the $100 range. Ok she says. Then she gets the tickets and I see in the email the total was $420. I went Mom! I thought we were doing $100. She says just pay me the $100. The more expensive were available so I jumped at them.

lotsofdotts me too! NKOTB was mine too in 7th grade!
This week has been really rough, Ive lost faith in humanity. We were scammed by a flooring contractor who has our $1860 and has done nothing for 2 months. Said he had a stroke and his brother cut his hand badly so I was feeling sorry for them and now we find out its all lies and we are having trouble getting money and responses from them UGH!
On a good note, I lost 1 lb this week...its slow and steady but I need to focus on the good things
Sort of trying to put DD down for a nap in her PNP... not sure this is going to work yet. She's a pretty inconsistent napper anyway. She's fussy crying, but not like really crying so I'm trying to see if she fusses herself to sleep.
We're going to start the transition to the PNP for nighttime today, wish us luck. I'm really hoping it doesn't go as badly as I'm expecting.

Happy Friday!!! I hope everyone has a great weekend
babycfeb2015, it's your birthday tomorrow too...right? What are you going to do to celebrate?
Am I the only one that can't wait to see Pitch Perfect 2?! .... I'm obsessed.
I'm trying to get A to cooperate with me this morning so I can get some work done. My etsy shop is on fire this month, even after a price increase. I wish she was on some sort of regular-ish nap schedule. Working from home with a baby has proven harder than expected.

So, I gave up on trying to get her to nap in the PNP after about thirty minutes of trying to calm her. She's now passed out in the swing where she normally naps. I think I'll just worry about getting her to sleep in the PNP at night before worrying about naps.

Naps are much harder for DS than sleeping at night. He transitioned to sleeping flat at night far before he ever considered sleeping flat during the day. Eta: not that I'm an expert or DS is in any way a good napper right now. But nights remain easier for us.

That is awful. I'm sorry that happened to you guys. We are trying to hire someone to do some landscaping and it's things like this that make me very nervous to hire anyone.
Did y'all see the admin thread about a forum disney trip/convention?
Yeah. I'm reasonably skeptical that I'd make a huge effort to get out there. I'd love to meet you all in real life, but a group potentially that big is kind of eh. Also, G wouldn't remember anything of a trip like that for awhile and DH and I aren't big Disney people.

Yeah, that's how DD is too: Awesome sleeper at night, not so great during the day. We put her down at night with absolutely no work (feed her a last bottle, burp her, put her in the RNP still awake, leave the room, she coos for a bit then passes out) but naps can be a challenge sometimes.
While she was napping I got a rolled up towel and stuck it under a play yard sheet in a U shape and stuck some books under one end of the PNP to put it at a slight angle. Hopefully those two things will help the transition.
aggiebug I'm jealous of your bagel. There's nowhere within a 45 mile radius that makes fresh bagels that I know of. When I fly across the country to visit my sister in the Bay Area, I basically do my best to subsist on bagels and indian food.
This place opened a month ago otherwise we were in nearly the same boat. This is our first time trying it.
We are also finally getting a donut shop other than dunkin donuts too and I can't wait. Dunkin is awful.
A Tom & Suzies NY bagel deli opened by me recently. I liked the everything bagel I got with olive pimento cream cheese, but their eggplant parm sub was just ok . But it may have also been the crazy long wait affecting my level of satisfaction (went opening weekend). I wish there was an Einstein Bros bagels nearby, I really liked their bagel sandwiches.
Anyone know when the startle reflex goes away? LO's is wickedly strong and his crazy hands are still going strong. He startles himself awake or pulls his hair or scratches his face while sleeping and wakes up screaming... This kid is a danger to himself.

I just got our 'payment satisfaction' letters in the mail from the hospital today. It got me thinking...how much did birth cost you?
Our insurance was billed $84k. Granted...I had a failed induction, emergency c section, 3 epidurals, and a 48 hour NICU stay. We paid $500 out of pocket.

lotsofdotts, brilliant photos! I'm glad you guys are having a good time!!!
Will you guys please stop talking about bagels? I don't know how, but bagels never became popular here... I'd have to pop over to England to find a bagel place. And the nearest Dunkin Donuts is 2 hours away.
kerrigrooves People suck! I hope it gets sorted out.
It's a long weekend here too, so we are spending it at MIL's summer cottage at an island outside of the city. It's so calm and peaceful here... Or it would be, if DD's 5 and 2 yo cousins weren't here wreaking havoc They are so sweet, but having them in the house playing and screaming has overstimulated DD so it's really hard to put her down for naps.

mrsclark731 - our bill was only about 9k, which seems crazy to me seeing as how LO was early and tiny and needed a battery of tests. Oh, and the hospital is on the beach in Orange County CA so I just expected expensive. $500 oop, yay good insurance!
