We are on the train to FILs. The man sitting next to us seems to be really irritated that he was seated next to a baby, which is kind of funny to me because so far DD has fussed a total of like 60 sec (out of a 3.5h train ride). If you don't want to sit next to anyone, buy a first class ticket or two seats.

Of course, as I typed this, DD started crying. Still, no reason to give me the stink eye. Babies cry. Get over it.
DD is having a hard time with the time change understandably so, but I think the long days are making our nights even shorter. Today we leave the aunts house and head to the ILs. Hopefully I don't have any more ridiculous stories for you about fil.

5.5 hours total. We're almost there!
I was catching up on spam, and your FIL sounds so childish. Hopefully he behaves today!

morning!
I wish I was as brave as some of you ladies when it comes to traveling with LO. Mad props.
Dropping off the truck to get detailed at 9am. H has to move the car seat into the other car... Hopefully that goes smoothly. I'm pumped for this appointment, it's long overdue.
I'm supposed to go to a birthday party for my friends 3 year old this afternoon at 3...I'm thinking I might bail. I don't know if the car will be ready in time and the party is only an hour from 3-4 at her grandmothers house. I feel like an hour long party at someone's house is a little gift grabby? Andplusalso I don't want to fight shore traffic with my 5 month old in the back. I think I'll text her and set something up to go visit her during the week.
aggiebug, but we really want the stories! At least I do!
Not much doing today. Weather looks kindof nasty out, so probably just going to hang around and go to the grocery store. I defrosted a hunk of brisket, so thats going to be slow cooking all day. Yum!
Oh, i just looked at the RSVP list of my friends baby shower in a few weeks, and one of my other friends is going with her baby too. Our babies haven't met yet. Hers is 9 months old. Another of my friends who hasn't met my LO will go too. Actually the friend whose shower it is hasn't met LO either. Its a co-ed shower, so DH is coming, which is good since its in NYC...I'm not sure if I'm up to a city day by myself with LO. Gonna be a fun day!! Its going to be my first ever baby shower that's not work related, lol. Not sure how that has happened.
@alyllyra enjoy your trip! flyster for my sake I hope I don't have stories mrsclark731 I hope you can enjoy the party. I would take a cute book and call it done with the gift. I imagine it is in part an excuse to have friends over and part feeling pressured (from pinterest.com and the like) to have fancy parties. Don't fret just enjoy

We were up way too late last night prepping corn for the freezer. On the plus side, we have almost 6 dozen ears of corn in our freezer. Sadly the corn is not from our garden though, we had to buy it from a local market. The stupid raccoons demolished ours the night before we were going to pick it. Headed to church in a few and then to the ILs for lunch. Hopefully I'll be able to check in more today.

mrsclark731, I get the same way. But like mands1125, you probably won't regret going.
LO slept in until 7:45am! WHOA! he hasn't done that in like 2 months! But when he woke me up at 4:30am, I fed him but he was just awake and happy so I left him in the crib. Same thing around 10 when we came home from a BBQ - just playing in the crib. Okay, fine by me buddy!! Let momma sleep in!!
Now I feel *more* tired and drowsy from getting sleep. Sucks how that works.

Hey ladies! I am reading the spam but it is hard to tag people on mobile. I forget who I'm tagging and all the baby brain stuff.
I'm currently on a shuttle bus taking by Ohio State stadium. My husband is super excited that we got him into the tour on Monday. I'm not sure how this conference is going to go since I will have to pump every 3-4 hours. I just hope the arena has a nice place for me to go. That will be my first task to find the pumping location when we arrive.
I'm a little tired because Brady didn't sleep well last night because he didn't get good naps because the ILs were constantly holding him and playing. I'm not mad because they do live 12 hours away and this is only the 2nd time they have seen him, but damn I'm tired. I hope I don't fall asleep during the session this morning. That would be embarrassing.
DS wouldn't eat before bed again, so I just put him to sleep expecting he'd wake up shortly after to eat. Nope! Didn't cry until 5:15. I soothed him and went to get a bottle ready and he fell back asleep until 6:30. I fed him then and put him back down. We were both able to fall back asleep and he's still sleeping now. I haven't slept in this late in forever! He must be making up for the previous night!
aggiebug I'm worried about the two hour time difference when we go to California. Let me know if your baby ever adjusts. Hope your FIL gets his act together but please share if he doesn't hollydfromtn darn raccoons! misshart00 good luck!! lotsofdotts hope the conference is fun/educational/etc
DH is at his father's lake property, which just sold. The family has been using the trailer out there as a storage building for 5+ years so they're seeing what they want to keep. I didn't tell DH to bring nothing home, but he knows how I feel about his family's keep all the things mentality. Then lunch at my grandmother's like usual, then spending the rest of the day at my other grandmother's because my cousin & his family are in town. His wife is due with #2 in Feb16

Actually dragged my butt out and went for a run this morning. It was brutal and the humidity didn't help but at least it was something. I went to Nordstrom yesterday to shop the anniversary sale and trying on clothes was the motivation I needed.
Already went to the grocery store and bought the supplies to make some lactation cookies so I'm planning to do that this afternoon. Since I ran this morning that means I can sit around eating cookies all afternoon. I mean they are to boost my supply....

Sorry for my rant in advance:
Dear Husband, If you choose to drive 5 hours to and from a rugby tournament for the weekend, under NO circumstances can you tell me how tired you are after sleeping in a hotel sans MOTN wake ups-- man up! I've been joyfully caring for our child but would really like some mommy time. And by mommy time I mean time to do the laundry and make a grocery list and maybe go dress shopping for a wedding next weekend. But please, go nap! I know just how tired you must be!
@alyllyra I'm in accounting at a resort. 90% of my work was not done while I was out, and I spent most of December and January training someone to do that other 10%, so I was already behind when I left on leave. Plus my leave was during or busiest time of year. It used to be an awesome job, but now it just stresses me out. Thanks everyone for the support.
I just want to quit my job this morning. I might start crying in my office.
I just feel so overwhelmed and behind at work. I wish I had a job where I could do the days work and that was it. Or you know, not work.
Hugs lady! I feel you! My boss casually mentioned as we were leaving that "we" should probably make 60 hour work weeks the norm... Took everything for me not to say GFYS or pay me for my 50 that I already put in every week!
I hear you though that I am always feeling behind. I just want to work part time and earn $100k... Is that too much to ask???
