I think I am just going to take it easy. I had a very busy week and I just want to soak in some time with Isaac. Just enjoy some snuggles and maybe we can paint. I want to go for a walk to the bookstore and use my new carrier if it is nice out. I received sad news again that a family friend passed away. It just makes me want to spend more time with my loved ones. It's just so very sad. He was very young.
wildflower810 haha!! My H takes forever in there too, wtf!? songbirdsinging55 I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. Hope you can snuggle your lo and feel some love this weekend
Is it Saturday? I've lost all sense of time. We ended up taking lo to the children's er Thursday night because she would not stop crying and she has a raging ear infection. After around the clock motrin and Tylenol and a few doses of her antibiotic she seems better today (fx!) She did cry from about 12-3 last night I'm ready to have my happy baby back! Today I'm going to attempt to clean my disgusting house (we've been in survival mode around here) and hopefully get out for a walk songbirdsinging55 what kind of carrier did you get? I have a chicco one and put lo in it and it seemed uncomfortable. She was kind of leaning forward which didn't seem right

kfaye - that sounds like a terrible night. Poor baby.
songbirdsinging55 - I hope you get lots of baby time this weekend. Sorry about your friend.
I'm going to a high school rodeo to watch my niece and nephew. Somebody send booze. I dislike rodeo, but I love my niece and nephew. Plus Myles enjoys all the crazy activity and horses.
songbirdsinging55 Sorry about your friend. Cuddle up with Isaac. kfaye Hope your girl feels better soon. Survival mode is still the name of the game around here.
Last night LO didn't want to sleep and we had loads of clean laundry piling up, waiting to be folded. H and I dumped the laundry on the bed with LO and entertained her while folding. Lots of colors and exaggerated movements while folding seemed to captivate her.
Haha! wildflower810 boys and bathroom time, sheesh. Taking it easy should be the theme of the weekend. I'm sorry to hear about your friend, songbirdsinging55. kfaye I demand that everyone in your family get well! Right now! Glad lo feels a little better today. spiraltheory how much booze does it take to make a rodeo fun? That's how much I'm sending you, plus some. gldnbearz way to make laundry fun!! My sister is on her way over. I like to make cookies with my nieces; they love to measure and pour. Maybe we'll paint our nails too- just a fun hanging out day ahead! Happy weekend (and Wednesday for some?)!!
wildflower810 +2 for H taking forever in there! Same thing with showers. I take shorter showers than he does, and I have to shave my legs! I don't get it.
I'm going to a family get together tomorrow night. It should be fun, my aunt and uncle who haven't met LO yet will be there. But DH has to work, so that sucks. Today I'm just staying home and catching up on housework. I wanted to go for a walk, but it's too cold and windy. Maybe tomorrow. I'm finally able to get the mei tai carrier on by myself! I'm so excited about that. And LO loves it, she'll even fall asleep in it. It's great.

Last night we went to dinner with some of Dh's family and Lo was sure antsy. He just can't sit still so I think we're done with restaurants for awhile. Today we're just relaxing then heading to my parents for dinner. Tomorrow I have a wedding and on Monday dh is making pastrami (on his smoker) and we're having a few people over and watching American Sniper. I hear I might need to get the Kleenex box out.
ninergirl52 I feel the same way about my lo and going out to eat, she used to just sleep but now she's super antsy to get out of the car seat.
Anyone using a regular highchair yet when going out to eat? I'm not sure if lo is ready but I feel like I wait too long to try stuff like that with her
Anyone who's lo has had a ear infection have any tips on sleeping I would greatly appreciate it. Lo will not sleep unless she is moving in the car seat or stroller (or if she has cried for 3 hours and is just exausted)

Well I was told by some unattractive plus size ladies that I look pregnant again (now if I had told them about themselves I would've been mean.) I just shrugged it off... So for me it means my holiday weekend will not be full of food. Bitches.
LO and I have been practicing with baby food and spoons. And making his bowel movements more comfortable. Poor thing just cries and then I hold him to help him go.
lovebuggies12 not cool! Good for u for shrugging it off. A patient at work asked me if I was pregnant again too, wtf is wrong with people!
Yea that's insane to me! I've never commented on someone's weight, mid section, or pregnancy status. I've known several women to actually be showing and I STILL don't comment. I let them talk about it first if they want to. Otherwise it's not my business!
I still recall holding my less than month old newborn and the nurse asked how far along was I! Wtf!!
lovebuggies12 I'm the same way, have never and would never comment on someone else's weight!
It's funny that Ice Age just came on and Sid just got bopped upside the head for asking the beaver if she was pregnant and she wasn't. Lol. Leave it to children's shows to call out adult's stupidity. Apparently those people who've asked us that have the social graces of a sloth.

When will people learn to stop asking a woman if they are pregnant? Just makes me ragey. Women have enough size comparisons & insecurities. Just makes me mad. Just last night at dinner my sil (who has given birth to 4 children) was going on & on about her weight, in front of her 8 year old daughter. She was going on about carb free and my niece asked if carbs are bad for you. I finally just cut in and told her that they are not and that they help give you energy to run and play. I'm so sick of my sil trying diet after diet and talking waaay too much about it around her daughter. Kids are impressionable yo!

kfaye- I purchased a gently used beco butterfly 2 carrier. It is great, it pinches a tiny bit on the side but I got some help from the local BWI group. spiraltheory- I have never been to a rodeo before. Sending booze your way ;-) zengal-thay sounds like fun with the nieces. I love doing girly things with mine lol nerdalert-yay for getting the carrier on! It's so much easier to do things while baby wearing.
ninergirl52- sounds like a busy but fun weekend planned :-)
lovebuggies12- what bitches! You enjoy food, who cares what they say. Seems like maybe they are just unhappy with themselves and want to make others unhappy too.

Thank you everyone, I feel like a lot of sad things have been happening but I have been counting my blessings each time. It's crazy how quickly things can change.
