Night 2 in the hotel wasn't as easy, but hopefully DS will go back to sleep after this feeding. It's my niece's birthday! I can't believe how old she'll be. Not a toddler anymore - it happened so fast! Her mom arranged to pick her up a little early from bio dad's so we can see her before we leave. Yay! (They celebrated her birthday last night.)

I was going to put how DS woke up several times and yada yada, but I'm tired of typing the same thing all the time. So instead I'm going to put how happy DS woke up. It's one of my favorite things about him. He is just excited about life first thing in the morning, regardless of what time it is.
We're off to DH's family reunion today and there's going to be a bunch of drama lama there. Long story short: DH's grandfather passed away in Novemeber. FIL was really close to him and is struggling with him being gone. Grandmother now has a new boyfriend already and they have discussed marriage. She is bringing said boyfriend to her late husband's family reunion. FIL is pissed!
ETA: Not that it's not ok for you guys to complain about when LO woke up. I'm just going to start focusing on the positives because clearly my child is never going to sleep through the night.
hollydfromtn I hear you on feeling like its the same story on repeat. Also, not meaning other people, just our house! People keep asking how she sleeps and it's like, nothing new! I'm going to join you on looking at the positives
I'm sorry to hear about your husband's family. That sounds like it'll be rough today.
DS stopped STTN. Oh well... that was fun while it lasted. We took the kids to a children's festival yesterday and it was so much fun! I am excited to see them enjoy it over the nest few summers as they grow.

hollydfromtn, I pretty much write about DS's sleeping habits too. I'm with ya on the positive. DS is always a happy clam when he gets up in the morning too. It's hard to be mad at his 5am wakeup when he's cooing and smiling.
Today H comes home! We haven't been separated for this long in a couple years! In a way it was nice because now I really miss him instead of wanting to kill him.
Watching the news always makes me angry for one reason or another, but today more so: they featured women who begged for money on the street with babies. These women banded together and hit up different street corners with their children in tow all day. How terrible is that? Those poor babies sitting on dirty concrete street corners all day in extreme weather. They don't think these women are homeless either.
toadandbuggie, I just watched your link. Just terrible. I always want to give people the benefit of the doubt, but this just doesn't sit right with me. I don't even know what to say!
DS only had one wake up last night! Granted he didn't go to sleep until 10:30, but I'll take it! I got to sleep from about 11 until 3am! He woke up at 5 wanting to be done with sleep unfortunately so I'm hoping he went back to sleep for DH.
DH was at a friend's late last night watching the fights. I wanted to go so bad because I wanted to watch Rousey kick some ass, but 4:30 wakeup aren't kind and baby had been running a fever for 24 hours so I decided against it.
Driving south today to the airport hotel with a stop at Great Lakes Crossing for a little shopping and the aquarium and an emergency stop in Utica for a replacement Sophie.
Nice lazy Sunday so far! I got to sleep in till about 9, then we fed LO his first solids! Went pretty well. He made this funny bewildered face the whole time.
In laws are headed our way later, so I"ll be able to get some work done in the garden. Right now, LO is down for a nap, and I"m just lazying away on a video game for a little while.
Church, maybe hanging out with a former co-worker, then a bbq with other parents. It should be a great day! We went to the county fair yesterday and LO laughed at the chickens and pigs. It was so funny!

Our county fair is this week and I wad debating on going. You just made my mind up! I hope LO likes it!
In other spam, I think that LO's sleep is finally getting better after the teething! Still multiple wake-ups, but not more every two hours!
DH and I had our first date night last night since before DS was born, which was really nice. Some friends had offered to watch DS for us and basically kept asking until we said yes, lol. They have an 8 month old daughter and took cute videos of them playing.
'sup ladies. Abby is crib napping and I am having some rare alone time on the computer while DH is out grocery shopping. After some major fighting sleep last night, she ended up sleeping 12 hours with only one wake-up. I think that is her record. I am a happy momma!
Nothing really on the agenda today. IL's are coming over and hopefully helping DH put together Abby's highchair. We might try some oatmeal since I ended up pumping this morning since she slept so well. So I have some milk to mix with said oatmeal. Did anyone else just start the solids/oatmeal without "permission" from the Ped? We go for her 6 month check-up on the 13th. I think she is ready.

Add me to the club of not great sleep. I've been trying not to keep posting about it. We have some good nights, but always at least one wake up and more often lately it has been two. E also got increasingly congested last night and is all stuffed up today, so I'm guessing tonight wont be too great either.
I bought some cereal and supplies to start solids thinking I'd wait until we get back from our vacation next week since E will be close to 6 months then, but DH is pretty excited about it and now he's trying to convince me to start today.
If anyone has been debating getting an Ergo carrier, Zulily is having a significant sale on Ergobaby. The original carrier is $60.
DD had one tooth break through yesterday, and another is really close. We had a really hard time getting her to sleep last night, I think tooth pain, over tired, and some separation anxiety is starting too. AGH! What a combination. The screams. Any way, I finally just held her in my arms in the rocker, without rocking. Put my head back, closed my eyes and yielded into the chair. DD soon followed suit. She slept until 7:30 this morning and woke up chipper.
