I feel like I never see DH either for the same reason. Sometimes we spend time together on Saturdays, but he always sails all day on Sunday and I hardly see him. It's definitely overwhelming.
It's hard, right?! I feel like I'm struggling to get my point across to him without it escalating into a huge argument. He doesn't seem to get that although life continues, compromises have to be made and he can't just do whatever he wants all the time.
Yes it is! I haven't brought it up yet for the same reason. He is helpful when he's actually home, but I'm feeling a bit isolated. I don't think he realizes what goes on all day and that I just can't keep up with everything with the little one. I feel bad leaving him in the swing all day, but it's the only way the house stays halfway decent because I never have anyone at home to help. I need to figure out a way to talk to him about finding a balance. He just struggles with saying "no."
stinybean, there's nothing wrong with socks if they are needed. But, they aren't/weren't in this case. And each time they force DS1 to put a pair on, he falls and hits his head on something within 30min of putting them on. (he's four. they have tile floors, it's slippery)
+1 on the CR Gibson. It is really cute and seems timeless, and not too overwhelming. I got the binder style so we can put random crap in it (like someday I am going to hole punch all the cards, lol I promise I am, I bought the hole punch at least).

Someone gave us a baby book at our shower, but I haven't done any more than glance at it. I figure I will end up making shutterfly books with the gazillion photos on my phone. Which, I need to back these up before I forget...phone doesn't have an SD card and my cloud storage is full.

Also, I accidentally took pictures of our ceiling fan instead of J yesterday. I usually turn the front facing camera on and hold it in front of him when he is in my arms since that seems to be when I get some pretty good faces...I must have hit the wrong button...but that explains the confused expressions I was getting haha.

It took me a minute to read that this was your older child. I was totally like "what on earth are they doing with an infant that he hits his head? " Your poor DS!

Went to a Tim McGraw concert tonight and it was amazing! Left LO with my H for the first time (for an extended time) by himself. They survived, but I hope he appreciates me more now for everything that I do for/with this baby! I'm happy they got a little daddy/daughter bonding too:)
DS2 took a bottle today like a champ! I am so excited. I was an idiot to not try harder for it with DS1. Even just for extra sleep during the hard times, I am thrilled I can (theoretically) give the boys to DH and go take a nap and not have to be woken up to nurse. Man, I martyred myself unnecessarily last time.
My BFF and Her daughter left yesterday after being here a week . I went for my first run since I was 12 weeks pregnant and I'm paying this morning...ouch! DH and I have these bouts of snippyness that are driving me crazy lately because we are usually not like that with each other. DD has slept for 7 hours straight the last 3 nights so we are at least enjoying some good sleep!
Friday night I took the kids and we went over to a friends house for a play date while our husbands had some time alone. It was fun to hang out and have some girl talk...
Yesterday we went school clothes shopping for DS. He starts kindergarten on the 18th so we decided to get it done and over with. It's tax free week here in FL then pair that with the amazing sales at Old Navy, Children's Place, Kids Foot Locker & Kohl's and you have one spoiled child. He has so many clothes it's insane and after yesterday I'm almost running out of room. (his giant dresser and closet are basically busting at the seams).
Today we're going to relax as far as I know. DH may surprise me and make last minute plans, like he does often. Idk, we'll see.
Getting ready for a wedding. J is meeting all of our friends in Fairfax VA today. So that's exciting.
carolyngrace you may have to share where those donuts are. I need one when I get home!!
This tiny bakery in Homewood called Dana's! So random. I got a half dozen for three dollars, and they were some of the most delicious donuts I've ever had.
Yep it's happening as soon as I get back from Virginia!
