My parents come in from the east coast today. I'm pretty pumped about that. I haven't seen them since my wedding 2 years ago and they haven't met DS. I'm really looking forward to their visit!
DH ex-wife is a psycho. So we are back dealing with her again. I'm trying to stay out of it, but DH isnt doing good on his own, so I have to help. I'll be glad when all this court shit is over with. She's unstable & it makes me anxious.
I have my pre-op appointment for my knee surgery today. Anxious. Excited. Hopeful.

A skunk sprayed near our house last night and our entire bedroom was filled with the smell. It was awful! Luckily this morning it has dissipated quite a bit. One of the major things I do not enjoy about rural life. DS and I are heading in to the library soon for "Baby and Me" lap time. We missed it last week since my friend was in town.
Night two of cutting out the MOTN feeding and a 5 minute 'cry it out rule' and she slept through the night!!! Woke up at 4 to eat and fell back asleep until 8! Same as the night before, but with less crying. I think we see the light at the end of the tunnel!
G is singing along to Iolanthe right now. I'm downloading Gilbert and Sullivan's for him because they are silly, repetitive songs that I can stand. Yesterday was HMS Pinafore and I haven't decided which one to do tomorrow.
We had two wakeups: 1 right back and 1 not so much, but he passed out at 8 last night and I didn't change him out of his last daytime diaper, so I knew one of those wasn't going to be good.
I'm going to put together his crib later and he'll be sleeping in that tonight or tomorrow depending on how well the pieces air out after wipedown.
Morning all! mrsclark731 Yay for A! O woke up uncharacteristically at 1130 and I would normally just feed him but I decided not to and he went back to bed until 3 and ate then! I couldn't believe it worked! WittyLittle I'm dealing with the same issue with the ILS and my husband told them we are still putting O to bed at 6. It's impossible for us to keep him up without a meltdown so we are going to the family get together but not changing the schedule.
O was cooing this morning too and talking in bed so I didn't rush to get him. Then I remembered he has been pooping earlier in the morning and sure enough at 5am I changed a poopy diaper. Can't those wait until 7 to wake my baby?
Ds was awake for the day at 6am He usually sleeps until about 8:30 so I'm unusually tired today. Yesterday was an insane day at work too so it took me a while to wind down last night. In bed by 1:30am and up by 6:30. *sigh*
On the bright side, its my last day of work before vacation! Packing all the bags today and we leave for Montana at 6am!
mamabutt2 sorry for the late night & early wake up but yay for vacation! WittyLittle I would tell her that time just doesn't work for you & Jake. You said she was difficult to schedule with; can you plan something a few weeks in the future so you get ahead of her busy schedule?

have fun in MT! My MIL owns some land in the mountains up there and road trips at least 3 times a year from Wisconsin. One of the trips she takes is with her oldest granddaughters and can't wait to take DD. They stop at all the old ghost towns and hot springs. They always have a good time. The other trips is one with her girlfriends and the other one is in September when they spend the whole month up there.
Hhhmmm so I just texted that momfriend using your suggestions and she said its not a problem she doesnt mind if he's fussy. Jake can handle it.
For context her kid's version of fussy is whining a bit. im gonna gave to go for the hard no arent i...
Yup hard no "I am sorry I did I say fussy? I mean have an epic meltdown because he is tired. That time just doesn't work for us at this point so we can't make it"
DS was up several times last night. One of which was a huge spit up/vomit again where I had to change the sheets. Ugh.
I didn't call the dr yesterday because he is fine otherwise. I was reading on kellymom though, and apparently an increase or sudden spit up can happen because of teething (among other things), so it's probably fine, just an annoyance. I am planning on calling to be sure that they don't want to see him.
cougarette - ugh! DD has always been the spit up queen but is especially notorious for MOTN/ early morning gushes that require laundry and more comforting to get back to sleep. I can commiserate!

Happy July.. No spam. We went to the movies yesterday and DD did amazeballs. That's about it, but I've gotta question..so we are planning to go to an Amusement Park Friday with SDS1 (8) and DD. I have the breathable carrier but also thought about bringing the stroller urbinibaby.com/product/omni/ because she may want to lay down while sleep, we have also never put her in the stroller forward facing and she's super curious now which could make her love the strroller. Normally she doesn't like the stroller for long and we end up carrying her anyway. Would you take both or just the carrier. The stroller is a bit bulky but could also double as a stuff carrier when she's not in it. Suggestions?
Yes I am probably crazy for carrying my 4 month old to and amusement park
DS kept rubbing his eyes and kicking around since 3am and was catnapping every half hour. I was so tired that I puked. I got so frustrated by 7am and finally I put him next to me in bed and let him fuss it out by himself.
15mins later I had a sleeping baby. But he made whimpering noises in his sleep. I cried every time I heard his whimpering. I really feel like shit today.
