Whatever virus DS & DH got has hit me full force. Came to nurse DS at this wake up because if his throat feels anything like mine poor kid needs something to drink. I think this'll make the 3rd Sunday in a row we'll miss church :-(
Its gross out. Plans were originally to meet up with my friend and her 2 year old and go hiking, but I think we might do a children's museum instead if the weather doesn't get better. There is a really nice hike near where we are meeting up with a stroller friendly path up to a wonderful view, so we were really hoping for that with a picnic at the top. Another weekend I guess!
It is pouring rain outside and it's the day of my sisters bridal shower. Not sure how I'm going to bring in her gifts and use my umbrella at the same time.
Trying on dresses for this yesterday was.... so depressing. I really wanted to cry. Why can't I lose these last 10 pounds??? I am trying so hard!!
DD got through the entire night again. So far it's been like we've been alternating nights. I gave her seven ounces before bed instead of six so maybe that helped? No clue but this was the best night of sleep I've gotten in four days so I'm happy about that.
Going to lunch and a movie (Jurassic World) with my best friend. After this oddball week I'm really looking forward to leaving DD with DH for a few hours.

I think DS was up every hour or so from 9 when he went down to 11 or 12. I dunno, i was off duty, pumping and then sleeping. I think DH tried feeding him more at one point. Luckily he settled and I didn't have to wake up/get him until 5 and then he snuggled with us until 7. Thats been his routine the last week or so, but with out the early evening wake ups. I'm betting that we get into a nice routine, and then he starts teething just to mess with us.

I just said goodbye to my best friend this morning. she won't be back in the states for another year. Goodbyes suck! I'm so glad she got to meet DS though. I'm thinking about planning a surprise trip to Germany next year to go see her. Hopefully I can make it work with our budget.
Heading to church in s few and then if the weather holds off I'm going to pick some blackberries for a fresh cobbler. DH had requested one for his birthday yesterday but it was way too nasty outside to pick any.

Last night I stayed up too late for some mommy/daddy time. Yay! But that lead to me going to sleep way past my normal bedtime. Brady was up at 2 and 5, so I am on the struggle bus this morning.
I have to work on getting the house clean because my husband told his friend that we will have a doggy playdate today so that we can see if his two dogs will get along with our dog. If they do, we are keeping their dogs for the weekend of the 4th. I'm not very happy about this because that means I will have three small dogs and three children in the house next weekend. I do love my husband, but damn, he doesn't have to be so nice and say we will do things like this for friends.

Update on baby Jamie: she's still in the NICU unable to breath on her own but her oxygen sat levels have come up a few points to the upper 80s. Mom got out of the hospital yesterday and was able to go stay with baby Jamie at her hospital. Their 3 year old is having a tough time understanding why she can't go see her baby sister. Continued prayers are much appreciated. Thank you.

lilyelayne Feel better soon! dacora I'm so jealous of the sleep you're getting, even on your worst nights lol
DH and I scoured through the 3 sleep books we have last night. I feel like we're more confused now than before. Not sure if DD is a poor sleeper now that she's not in the swing anymore or if this is just pure sleep regression for both naps and bedtime. Do naps get better once night sleep is figured out? She takes 40 minutes to fall asleep for a 30 minute nap...unless she sleeps on me, then she's out for an hour or more.
FlutterOfYoshis Argh, I'm sorry. I know that compared to quite a few of you ladies my struggles are pretty much laughable. I honestly don't know how you do it, I think I would have been institutionalized by now from sleep deprivation. I couldn't do what you do, I have so much respect for you guys with bad sleepers.

Just to be clear--it wasn't meant to make you feel bad. Just expressing desire for some of your sleep. ;-)
We went to Carter's yesterday to get some more 6 month sleepers since DS is getting too big for the 3 month ones.
I noticed that the size says 24-26.5", so that means the 3 month goes to 24. Well he measured 25 on the 11th! Poor guy. Guess it's time to pack those away.
On a related note, his 3 month onesies still fit fine. Weird.

I know, no worries! But seriously, you guys are definitely made of tougher stuff than me.
