*yawn* morning. I am le tired. H suggested going to 9:30 church which means I can't be lazy this morning. I think I am going to give him his present and the baby. Haha happy Father's day! Here is the reason you are a father now you get to take care of her OK I kid.
We are going to meet up with friends DC tonight for dinner should be fun.
Rough night. I think LO is even still tired from not sleeping well last night, even though he wouldn't go back to sleep after 6 am. Hoping for a nap soon, lol. Its gross gross weather so we are probably just sticking around the house today. I'm debating taking LO out to get bacon to make DH bacon and eggs, or if I should wait and take him out to brunch.
We went out to eat on Friday since I work the weekend. I jokingly said that if it weren't for me he wouldn't be a father and he told me I already got my day on Mother's Day and to back off lol.
Might go out with my parents tonight. Not sure. Also, my personalized gift for DH did not arrive yet so he gets his gifts later. Dang it!
We woke up early, gave DH his frying pan and kid crafts and I made him breakfast. Later we are going up to my in-laws for lunch and to hang out for a while. Its a dreary, rainy day so I hope it clears so I can get the toddler tired playing outside.

dreemkin I tried to give DH of not having to wake up in the MOTN last night. It didn't work. Sleep regression kicked my butt.
I gave DH his gifts this morning. He actually teared up when he saw the personalized mousepad I made on Shutterfly because it was a "perfect, unexpected surprise! +10 for Mommy!" He also immediately put on the tshirt that says Dad est. 2015. I feel pretty win today.
Getting DD down for a nap now while the ILs are on their way with breakfast. I sucked at remembering to give any grandparents gifts this year, so I'll have to be better about that next time. I'm just saying I only had the mental energy to remember my immediate family due to sleep deprivation. :-P
We are on our way back from our Midsummer's weekend at friends. There where 14 adults and 3 babies <1 and we had a great time. DH officially starts his 6 week summer vaccation from work tomorrow so I'm excited to share baby snuggles with him!
We had a party yesterday for my grandfather's 75th birthday. DS was awesome, even though it was a million degrees. I had him in just a diaper and kept going inside to cool off and nurse.
He was passed around a lot, so I was getting nervous! But he only got fussy a few times and calmed down pretty easily.
Now today we're going to the in law's and he'll probably be super fussy the whole time, haha.
Rough night, second verse. DS woke very swiftly after being put down, so I swaddled both arms in (haven't done that at night in weeks!) and rocked him back to sleep. We had some improvement - only 4 wake ups and in between he slept in his crib - but he came up with this awful new screeching cry that doesn't even sound like my baby and makes me angry, at least when it's waking me up MOTN. He doesn't use it during the day yet. Maybe he's mad when he wakes up and doesn't have his arms anymore? But he wouldn't sleep without them both in the past two nights (or out & being held).
I saw a few of you mentioning the terrible sleep. Ugh! His sleep is worse than when he was a newborn. At least then he'd get up, eat, then go back to sleep relatively easily. This past week he'll get up, eat, fuss, cry, start to doze, wake up, then finally pass out an hour or 2 later.
And I had the benefit of not working so I could nap during the day.
In less whiny spam: can't wait to give DH his Father's Day present! We're going to my grandmother's for lunch as usual & seeing my dad, then to ILs' for swimming & supper. We prepped meat last night and DH brought it & his electric smoker to his parents' house last night while I did bedtime with DS. So we'll have all the yummy meats!

The Merlin Sleep Suit is not magic. At least in my house. Day 4 of the RNP to crib transition and H is exhausted (he is on duty from 8pm-3am). At least it's the weekend. I'll have to take over nights if she keeps this up.
We are heading down to my Mom and Dad's for a bbq a little later. Should be fun. I'm going to encourage H to take a nap now so he can make it through the day.

Had a solid night sleep. Woohoo!
My dd is 4 months old today. The 2nd time goes so much faster.
We're headed to breakfast on the farm in a bit. Here's to hoping we can get DS through there without a tantrum. Last year he flipped because he couldn't take the baby goats home.
ahh yes. Got LO to take a nap in our bed for 1.5 hours so now we are on start to the day #2. DH decided he wants to go out to get food rather then have me make it (yay) so just waiting for him to decide when he wants to get up. probably half an hour or so. bacon and eggs here I come!

Mom of the year award here: LO woke up 3 times MOTN -- Le tired! At 5am H put LO in the pack and play in our room. Around 6 I heard her squirming and just let her play while I tried to sleep. Her squirming was actually POOOOOOOOOO SLOSIAN! And I let her lay like that for at least 30 minutes! When I picked her up I was happily surprised to be covered in poooooooooooooooo! I swiftly handed her to DH to clean up (HAPPY FATHERS DAY) while I washed the pack and play and sheets and onesie! Holy poop girl-- no wonder she couldn't sleep last night!
Sorry to everyone who is needing sleep this morning! I thought we had it bad here.
Just dropped DH off to pick up his truck after he was out for a friends bachelor party last night. Now B and I are headed to my parents and taking my dad fishing for Father's Day.
Ordinarily I would be pissed at DH for missing family events to sleep off his hangover but I suppose today it's ok if that's what he wants to do.

You said it. I don't even remember #2 being a newborn... and that was only 4 months ago.

I have been MIA this weekend. We are camping with some friends. DH is a horrible sleeper. Ugh. He definitely suffers from FOMO at night. All of the other babies were asleep by 8 but, DS wide awake. I wanted to actually enjoy some time by the camp fire and had DS stay up late with us. We did not go back to the camper til 11 and DS was wide awake. He was up every couple hours as usual but, we slept from 5:30-8:30am. Probably shouldn't be sleeping in on Father's Day but, oh well.
Grrr! I am stuck at church and I'm not happy about it. I came here for a quick volunteer meeting between services and left all the kids at home. I was told the meeting would be about 15 minutes and it was but it started over 20 minutes late and then everyone had a million ridiculous questions. So, by the time we got out of there the next service had started and I'm blocked in. Our church has a slight parking issue with the late service and has to park people in such a way that it sometimes blocks the first row of cars from leaving until those behind them leave. I know I shouldn't be this grumpy when I'm at church but I am. I just want to get home to DD, who is still not feeling well after her surgery. Plus, I had to call DH and tell him to thaw a bottle for DS because I will miss his feeding time and my boobs are already full so I imagine I'll be pretty sore by the time I get to nurse again. And I wont be able to pump because I'll make it home less than an hour before he'll probably want to eat again. Grrr!
Being kind of lazy this morning. DH's dad is coming for supper and a bonfire to celebrate father's day. DD gave DH his card and DAD pictures. He is not a very sentimental guy so I was suprised when he teared up a little! He loved them.
Hugs to all the moms with babys not sleeping well!
Would you take LO to a restaurant in a big jogging stroller so you can have the car seat and hope they have a place to stash the stroller , or use an umbrella stroller and probably hold her the whole time? I am also debating taking a grocery cart cover thing and possibly try a high chair at least while we eat.
We are using public transportation to get there. I am thinking jogging stroller but it is so big
aggiebug, I always take the whole travel system so LO could sit in the carseat. I don't even stash the stroller, I keep it right next to the table to hold the car seat cos I don't trust the chairs enough to put the car seat on them. Hecks no to holding a squirmy one the entire meal. I bring a carrier just in case DS wants to be held.
But then again, I am kinda bitchy with a resting bitch face. The wait staff let me do whatever the heck I want. I usually request a bigger table and remove a chair or 2 to fit in the travel system.
foxslaw I do but DD hates being still when worn. She is much better in her seat or sitting.
PikoPiko our stroller is a Bob and pat restaurants downtown use all their space so a Bob would definitely be in the way. Our umbrella stroller can replace a chair without consuming more space
DS now prefers to sleep on his side, but freaks out if he ends up on his belly and cries for help in tummy time position MOTN. Any tricks on getting him to learn to lie on his tummy without propping up his head and freaking out? I'm hoping this is something he'll get over really soon by himself...

Just got back from brunch. M behaved and it was delicious. He cried when he opened his gifts last night.
I know it is not a competition, but I won this year (since my Mother's Day present has yet to arrive...) and I am happy about it! Petty Chicken Shrugs.
