First time in the ergo 360 yesterday was a success! And I love my new iPhone plus.
A went swimming for the first time in our neighbors pool yesterday. She loved it! I had to wear an old pair of basketball shorts and a tank top because I have no appropriate swim wear for public consumption ... But I got over it and she didn't mind.
I thought she would we tuckered out from swimming... But nope. Slept like shit after 2 am last night. She's begging for her morning nap already and I'm about to give it to her!
LO and I had an all night cuddle-fest last night. I know it's promoting bad sleep habits and all that but I so needed the sleep.
H works a long day today and tomorrow. I'm going out of town with LO to visit family for a week (leaving Tuesday) so I might start some packing today. I also think we'll go to Target after church to walk around and see if we "need" anything. Maybe Panera for lunch? Yum!
DS woke up at 530 wanting to nurse so I put him in bed with us & he actually fell asleep after nursing!! I haven't been able to nap with him in months! We're hanging out for the morning and heading home after lunch. DS was so good at our fancy dinner last night. He adooooored chomping on asparagus.
DD woke up and wanted to eat at 11:30 last night which was really unusual. She's been eating constantly for the past two weeks during the day, but it hadn't affected her nights yet. I thought maybe she'd sleep later, but she woke up at her usual 6:30 ready for breakfast. I'm not complaining, just different than usual.

Headed to church in a few and then we have a going away/meet the girlfriend lunch with the whole family for DH's brother. He met this girl on tinder and they've been dating for like a month. Well she just accepted a job as a pediatric NP in Washington state and he's planning on moving across the country with her. I'm giving them a little side eye, but to each their own. She is super sweet and I'm kind of bummed they're moving across the country. It would be really nice to have a pediatric NP that I could just pop in on and ask a bagillion questions when something weird is going on with S.

What time is everyones LOs taking their first nap in relation to when they wake up? Mine still starts showing tired cues after only being awake for an hour or so but then he fights it so stinkin hard if you try to get him to nap. I think he's ready to stay up later but I can't figure out how to do that without him being a grump

I need to get ready for church, but I am enjoying my coffee and listening to a podcast right now. I anticipate being late.
My niece and nephew are in town for the week and staying with my parents. This is good because I have to go back to work for teacher workdays this week, so my mom is off work and watching the kids. I'm supposed to take all 5 kids to the pool today. Pray for my sanity. I will have a two 14 yos and two 10 yos and a 5 month old.
aggiebug very exciting day for DD! Hope everything goes well.
babycfeb2015 depends on the day with DS. If we are just at the house maybe an hour or two. Yesterday we were out and about and he was up for 4 hours and then took a nap for 3.5 hours.
I'm fighting a champagne hangover this morning from a wedding last night. Reminds me why I do not like drinking in excess anymore. Same for DH, he is feeling like crap as well. DS ended up staying overnight at my parents last night and my mom said he did great for them. I gotta pick him up in the next hour.
The last time I pumped was 2pm yesterday. Rock solid boobs this morning. I do not miss being engorged. Normally pump 7 oz max in the morning and today I am almost at 13oz.

Church is a no-go this morning. I just don't have the motivation. I'm sitting on my butt and having a second cup of coffee. The older kids are at church with the grandparents and DH has gone to school to do some work. Brady and I are just chilling this morning. I'm okay with that.
Good morning! For the first time in a month or so we have DH home from work with us today! So nice!
I put B down to nap and jumped in the shower. I figured DH could nap also and watch the monitor, but I just got a text from upstairs after 30 min that she is "awake already". I guess she fussed a little do he figured that was the end of what should have been a 2hr nap. Wtf DH?! You clearly need to be home more to see how this parenting thing works!

My LO usually takes his first nap 1.5 to 2 hours after waking up. Almost never sooner than that, but sometimes he will go longer if we're out running errands.

mrsclark731, I'm jealous of the new iPhone. My phone is on the struggle bus, but we are waiting for payday before looking at a new one. The real problem is that my son's phone is also almost dead, so I have to buy at least two phones. It is expensive to buy the phones, but when you add the cases and such, it is a small fortune.
LO got a sudden onset cold that was so bad last night. he kept waking up so rough night on our end. Luckily, my day to sleep in after being up all night...just got up, its 11 am. boobs are unhappy.
No real plans today. Its crazy hot/humid in the house, so just sticking to the few air conditioned rooms. I dh is either putting LO for a nap or hanging out in his room while he sleeps so he didn't have to come into our room and get the baby moniter. Probably worried about waking the dragon (me).

mine is about 2 hours after. He's pretty much dropped his middle of the day nap though at day care, although yesterday I got him to sleep around 1:30 (i also got to nap then ) and then he napped again on our hike, so weekens he might still do 3 if we are lucky.

babycfeb2015 DS is awake for about 2 hours before his first nap. He usually wakes, nurses, then nurses an hour later, then wants a nap 45-60 minutes after that. flyster hope LO feels better soon!

I was eligible for an upgrade in June but I wanted to hold out as long as possible. Then my old iPhone began to not hold charge and die all the time, so it was time. I really wanted the better camera too. It blows my mind how much buying a cell phone has changed. There is no more purchasing a phone at a discount when you renew your contract. You now 'no interest' finance it into your plan. You don't need to show up with a couple hundred bucks nowadays. You should look into it!

She is ready about 2 hours after waking for the day. The morning nap is the shorter one, usually only one sleep cycle (40ish minutes).
Rough night here too. My FTM brain thought 6 months would be the golden time where he would STTN and never cry. H and I also fought last night out of sleep deprivation. He is taking O to his parents now to let us nap. I am eating leftovers from applebees on the couch by myself and I just dropped the remote into sour cream and licked it off. I'm a disgusting mess right now.

Sounds normal to me
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a pass or two every month.

DS usually is ready for a nap around 1.5 hours, if he wakes up at normal time. If he sleeps in, he skips the morning nap. If he is up early, he fights the morning nap.
So far I don't have THE cold but I think my dog does lol. Is that even possible? His nose was dripping last night. Anyway, I'm working today and hopefully watching football tonight. I need to start doing some research on some of the players I got in my autodraft league. It's hard to concentrate on anything with a 2 year old though.

Home from vacation. Spending the week with the ILs went really well and I even got a massage out of it - SIL and I went to the spa while the guys went golfing and MIL babysat. DD did not like ocean at all, but we took her in baby pool the last day and she warmed up to being in the water. She also did not like sleeping in the pnp and ended up cosleeping alot, but seemed pretty happy to be back in her crib last night. Even though we had a good time DH and I are hoping the ILs don't expect it to be an annual trip, the drive down and back were not fun.
Already finished the grocery shopping, now on to doing all the laundry and putting away the mountain of stuff we brought with us for the week.
Not sure if anyone remembers but I had mentioned that my husband has a very strange family and that we were going to his "former adult film star" cousins wedding. Well it is tonight and I am afraid it is going to be a disaster..... It starts after DD's bedtime (kept her on home time). The wedding venue was leaked and a bunch of her stalkers found out so they hired a ton of security. My husband messed up and packed his blue dress pants and a black suit jacket. To top it all off the couple is vegan/ recovering alcoholics, so there may not be meat or booze at the wedding. I cried last night.... Traveling with a baby is hard. We have stayed in 3 hotels in 4 nights and are changing again tonight.

Catching up on spam and drinking my coffee.
Sadly the coffee creamer I bought tastes like cough syrup . DS is napping so lets see how long I get to stay on the desktop.
Also something I wanted to share from yesterday that would take to long to type on my phone. My MIL and FIL came over yesterday. While they where there MIL was a total bitch. She kept criticizing everything about DS for no reason. Examples the fact that he had a cough and was drooling. Well at one point she mentioned how in a few months she wants to take my husbands cousins kids, my twin nieces from my bil, and my kids to all get their pictures taken. She then said I could go with her to help or my SIL could.
I started laughing. I told her there was no way I would be able to go because SIL won't even let me near her children or let htem walk near me without her picking them up and saying no. And there was no way she will help take care of my kids since they have never held D or even came to see him. SHe through her hands up and goes well I'm not in that and you know she can at least do that all of you can.
I'm really wishing we could just sell this house tomorrow and pack up and move far away.

Omg. I don't remember you mentioning this, but it sounds like people watching heaven.
Props to you for traveling (how far from home are you?) for this.
I have so many questions but I don't want to belittle your feelings.
I'm sure you are exhausted and traveling with a baby is stressful to say the least. Take a deep breath and try to make the best of it--you are already there and there is no turning back. Definitely go to the liquor store and smuggle booze in.
