We have a baby sitter today from 5-630 so going to happy hour w DH and his coworker. This makes me so happy!!! It's been so hot out today that we can't even leave the house so going stir crazy.
Tomorrow I might take the kids to my parents house and then we will all go to the beach. If anyone has any traveling beach tips for going w an infant then please let me know. I was thinking I need to buy one of those tents so I can sit in it w LO and protect her from direct sun.
Forgot to add Ali is turning 3 months on Monday and I'm getting sentimental over how big she is getting. She is busting out of her size medium sleep sack already.
DH and our single dad neighbor are going to Dave Matthews Band tonight. I'm staying home with all the kids for a slumber party (lord help me) because I hate DMB (there's my other UO of the day) and am also not ready to leave P with a baby sitter yet.
Tomorrow, I'm pretty sure I'll be the one getting up to tend to the children because... see above. I hope to maybe to hiking before DH has to go to work in the evening, assuming he wakes up before noon. Then dinner with the boys and my BFF and her two kids while he's at work.
Sunday, birthday party BBQ at a friends house. This will be the sixth birthday party we've been to in the last month. There's another one next weekend too. I'm going to go bankrupt shopping for other people's kids.
Tonight we are going to Friday Night Services at Synagogue and we can bring the pup!! Tomorrow we are going to go for a "hike" and probably do like 2 or 3 miles of the NCR trail with the pup and the baby. Tomorrow night my MIL is coming over and watching her so that we can have a date night and Sunday we aregoing to the pool with cousins!
Tomorrow out swimming pool in town is closing for the season so they are having a BBQ and fun stuff so we'll take the kids there.
My ILs are coming Sunday to visit, we have a few options of things to do but not sure if settled on plans yet. I'd like to get one more lake day in while the weather is still nice.
And H has Monday off! No plans that day yet. Maybe lake if we don't do that Sunday.
Tonight we're doing nothing. Well, DH is smoking pork butts for tomorrow. I might suggest that we finally have sex...maybe?
Tomorrow we're having our Bible study over for the first time since Owen was born. Sunday my aunt, cousin, and her two girls are coming to meet Owen. Next weekend we go on vacation!!!

Tonight LO and I are going with my mom to a 31 party. FFFC? I probably won't buy anything even though that's how these parties are supposed to work. If I don't want it, I'm not buying it. But I will come to the party to enjoy snacks and company:)
Tomorrow our contractor is coming over so we can finalize our picks for roof/siding for the storm damage we're having repaired. Then nothing else is on the books!
Sunday, dinner at my grandparents to celebrate my aunt's birthday. Maybe some shopping before hand?

I cry over every transition (diapers and clothes). I know he's supposed to get bigger, but it's happening so fast!
ill def be crying on monday. i'm torn because i'm excited to see her become her own person but the other side of me keeps rewatching newborn videos of her when she was so tiny she fit the length of my forearm

Tonight we aren't doing anything that I know of. We turned down dinner plans with our friend group because no kids and well we have no sitter.
Tomorrow I'm going to go for a run in the AM and then my DH has his FF draft around noon. The wives are all going over with the kids around 3 to hang out after. Sunday doing nothing except grocery shopping and laundry. DH has to go out of town AGAIN this week. He just got back on Tuesday and has to go out again to give a team member a final corrective action. Being a single mom while he's gone sucks yo!

DD just dramatically 'grew up' physically and developmentally to me in the last couple days. She'll be 3 months next week too. It's crazy. A little weird. I still don't know where the time is going, but it's way faster with two around now!

We have a wedding tomorrow and it's 4 hours away. Normally that would sound terrible, but the toddler is with my mom for the weekend so it's just DH, the baby and I! Having an almost 2 year old sure makes a 2 month old seem easy!
Between staying in the hotel, the wedding and the drive, that's our weekend!

jessila, I lol'ed at "smoking pork butts". I realize that's a real thing, but it sounds really super silly!
Tomorrow night I'm going out dancing at something called "In bed by 10"... It's basically a dance party for old people from 6-9pm! My friend went to the last one and said it was super fun. I may go out afterwards for drinks if I'm up for it.
Sunday I'm going to TRY to get to church (my neighbors have started giving me crap for not getting there anymore since baby was born).

I read it too fast and read 'smoking pot' had to do a double take on that one!
Sigh. K is out of town. I'm home alone. How to I make mom friends? None of my friends do baby friendly activities. I'm so lonely these days.
I've met some mom friends by going to local parks that have playgrounds. Even if you don't have a toddler. It's good to just get out of the house. You can also look up playgroups online to see if there are local ones Monday -Friday.
I found it easier to make friends while not working since most of the meet up play groups are during the week. It's going to be hard for me to make mom friends when I go back to work next month.

What area of town do you live in? I went to a fun Mommy & Me yoga in Lawrenceville a few weeks ago. And story time at the public libraries always has a lot of moms. It's definitely hard when you don't have mom friends. Single friends just don't quite understand, and like you said they don't always think about how to be baby friendly...

I'm in Sewickley so Lawenceville is kinda a trek, but I never mind driving I'll have to look it up.
Erbear84 I read about one in Cranberry I'll have to try. :-)

We got one of those beach tents when LBB was an infant because DH surfs a ton, so we're at the beach for hours. It was a really good investment. We use it all the time. I also bring my boppy so we can prop him up a bit inside and look out.
Also - cornstarch. Get a tub of it and throw it in your beach bag. It's amazing for getting sand off. Just rub a little on your hands and then rub the sandy skin.
Today we were supposed to go to the music museum, but I got a text from the mother of one of LBB's friends so we went to the children's museum with them instead. So music museum tomorrow or Sunday.
Whatever day we don't go to the music museum, we're going to the mall for some shopping and a haircut for LBB.
It's basically a weekend to get things together before I start work on TUESDAY!!!!

We went and wandered around babies r us since I got an email this morning with our endless earnings dollars.
Then we went to a festival in my parents town for a few hours...played some bingo and skeeball. Will be there part of the day tomorrow and possibly Sunday too. Otherwise probably doing some cleaning as we do every other weekend.
LO just STTN! It's a freaking miracle. Of course it's a night DH takes MOTN duty but I'll still take it. Too bad we are starting crib transition tonight. womp womp.
Getting some me time in this morning with a spin class and coffee with a friend. Super excited because it's been months since I've done spin. I'll be the one riding the struggle bus in the back corner of the room.
Other than that we have no real plans and that sounds perfect to me!
If that were my LO I would put off the crib transition and enjoy a few restful nights
Actually, Oscar slept 7:30pm-3am last night which I think is technically STTN too!

@jimbobcooter I am the only person I know who hates dmb and I wear it like a badge! High five!
My BIL came over for some baby time this morning so I did all my laundry! Amazing! We will be going out later today or tomorrow to scope out the neighborhoods where we are looking at homes. I can't believe we are even talking about moving right now, but I go on realtor.com and get all twitterpated about lot acreage. We'll see what happens.
