Spamurday

[hollydfromtn]

I'm attempting to get S down for his morning nap and he has decided that he is absolutely hilarious. He's been jabbering and then busts out laughing off and on for 5 minutes now. It's pretty cute, just not when momma real wants to nap too. DH's grandmother is having a cookout this afternoon so we can all meet her new boyfriend's family. It's going to be hella awkward. I'm actually hoping for a melt down so that we can leave early.

[lilyelayne]

I have a raging headache. Also I'm not yet dressed for the day because all my game day clothes are in the box I packed away when pregnant, and I haven't gone to the storage shed to get it. Going to my grandmother's for lunch because a bunch of my dad's family are in town.
badw0lf teeth! Hope they break through quickly & F learns to nurse with them.
hollydfromtn good luck at the cookout. Maybe it'll be the kind of awkward that produces good stories to share with us?

[lilyelayne]

I guess everyone is traveling or busy with Labor Day weekend and football. I felt like spam's been slow the last few days, but I was bad at keeping up on vacation so my perspective could be skewed.

[cloe111479]

Yeah. I think everyone is busy with life and the holiday.

Not much going on here. Dh went to Baton Rouge last night. Geaux Tigers! Dd and I are being lazy for now. I have an eyebrow wax at 1:15 but no other set plans today or tomorrow.

[hollydfromtn]

lilyelayne I hope I can get some good stories out of it. I also agree with spam being slow. A has been really clingy lately, so I haven't been able to participate as much. It seems like I get to check in the morning and then don't get back to the board until bedtime. :/

Hey all! I jinxed us, DS woke at 4.30am last night...

My sister is leaving today. I'm sad that I've been sick during her entire stay, didn't really get to do anything with her. Having her here makes me really miss London. And with her here with DS, I'm reminded of the time when she was a toddler. She's 7 years younger than me, and I spent the most time with her. I used to take her to the park on the weekends and I'd spend my allowance for snacks and toys on her. We were walking down memory lane the other day, she said she really loved the secrecy (my parents were super stingy wouldn't approve of spending money on anything, so anything we bought would have to be kept a secret). How funny she said she still had a stamp I bought her - she wanted a different pattern, but it costed more than I could afford, so we settled on an ice cream pattern instead.

Today we're going to take her to a few places in Seattle before sending her to the airport. Daycare starts after the long weekend, I'm really dreading it. I'll have to shower DS with love this weekend, just cos mama needs to.

[lilyelayne]

PikoPiko it's so great to spend time with siblings; I hate that you've been sick. Does she live in London, or just remind you of living there?
L will do great at daycare; hopefully it won't be too rough of an adjustment for either of you.

When you typo A instead of S for your LO, I read the post like you're talking about your husband (even though I either don't know his name or have forgotten it). It makes me giggle.

College Gameday is on, we're still in our pjs, husband's making a "real" breakfast. Yep, sounds like fall!

[GeekBeagle]

Nothing too exciting here. Just hanging at my parents' house. We're going to try and take DS swimming later. Other than that, we're pretty boring.

We grew up in London. I moved to the US for college when my sister was a preteen. She still lives there, pretty close to my parents. I guess if I ever quit my job to become a SAHM, I'd go live out in London for a bit.

It's not a very good day in the cougar household.

DS does have pink eye and we found out he has another ear infection. They're both on the same side. He doesn't have a fever, though. Anyway, I need to go to CVS to get his drugs.

Meanwhile we think DH has food poisoning. He's been vomiting all day. He is able to keep some liquids down, so that's good.

Ugh. Pass the wine.

[kartish]

Ugh cougarette I'm sorry! I hope after this you get a nice long spell of healthy-ness!

I have been really trying to soak up my time with V lately, we had some extra cuddling before work this morning and it was so nice.

My dad is coming in to visit next week. It will be the first time he has met his only grandchild. I'm more than a little miffed it has taken him this long. He wasn't keen on me getting married or having a kid or anything I do that shows I'm a real grownup. Probably because he doesn't want to think he is that old, especially since he still has a teenager.

DD1 is visiting mil this weekend so we can try night weaning with DD2. It's nice just hanging out with the 3 of us because LO gets our undivided attention and DD1 isn't running the show.

Of course I've also made a small list of chores for us to accomplish as well as binge watching GOT (the season that just ended).

Ugh sorry you are having a rough one! Hugs!

cougarette hope you stay well and your guys recover soon
kartish sorry your dad is being immature & that's kept him from meeting your LO. Hope the visit is a good one.
mishka29 GL night weaning! Let us know how it goes.

[WittyLittle]

Haha, I usually catch it when my phone autocorrects me. DH would actually be a B.

DD slept through the night for our second night at my BFFs. So thankful. It's a small house and the bedrooms have an adjoining door, so I felt so bad when she woke up crying every few hours on the first night!

DD got her first swing ride at the park yesterday, with the cutest smiles and giggles. She was fascinated by the bigger kids swinging. She also met our friend's son who is 10 months old. He was the first baby she's met that she was clearly interested in.

Good weekend. Waiting for the train home. Hope everyone is having a great Labor Day weekend.

[GeekBeagle]

cougarette Hope your guys feel better!

[cougarette]

Thanks everyone!

Needless to say DH is not interested in anything for dinner. I may make a very dirty martini for myself. I mean, I'll be eating olives, so that counts right?

[hollydfromtn]

cougarette Fx your fellas bounce back quickly. It's bad enough having DS sick but adding in your DH is rough I'm sure.

DSs breathing monitor sounded afreakingain. He was ok thank god but in really deep sleep which he got scared out of. I tripped running in to his room and hurt my arm. I think its just a sprained wrist and bruised shoulder

Oh no! Sorry you were worried & hurt. How long do you hope to keep using the monitor? Is there another kind that would work better for him?

[cloe111479]

We just tried prunes for the first time.

I am holding my breathe for the inevitable poop-spolosian.

I dunno if we are teething or in a sleep regression, but the past 2 nights lo has woken up at 12ish and refused to go back to sleep for 1.5 to 2 hours. Complete with lots of yelling. I'm also refusing to sleep on the floor with him because I'm trying to wean him off of that, but he hasn't been this tough to get to sleep since he was about 4 weeks old. Its pretty miserable and I hope he gets it out of his system during the long weekend. I'm also making DH help, which I almost never do, so he was a super cranky pants this morning....sorry the baby woke you up like twice dude. Welcome to the last 7 months of my life.

In less complainy spam, I reached 10,000 steps with fitbit today and it had a mini arm celebration just a few minutes ago. I decided I'm a fitbit fan. its making me way more accountable, and helping motive me to get up off my a-s and go!

Oh another thought, editing to add...has anyone tried giving their LO's beans yet? I gave LO 2 or 3 from my chipotle lunch and (sorry TMI) there was lots of poop with a bit of mucus, and little bean bits. I though by 7 months beans were ok? 

[dreemkin]

Having fun at the concert. Ed Kowalczyk from the band Live is performing now. I already saw a group of privileged napervillian teens getting high in the porta-potties... good thing DD1 is too little to know anything except that she wants to "dance at the rock concert"

[wimcgrath]

I've been pretty absent this week. To be honest, I'm having a tough time adjusting to being a working mom... And the students haven't even come yet!!! I already feel like I'm unable to do my best at work and at home. I know it'll just take time and it will work out, just feeling drained.
cougarette sorry your guys are sick. Hope they heal quickly and you're safe from it all! Also, I feel like a martini is almost as good as medicine. Liquor should help to disinfect you, right?

I'm so scared to try them for that reason.

I held off the last few days because we had too many out of the house things to do. Tonight and tomorrow we are just hanging here so if it happens it happens.

She pooped once so far but it was like a tiny tiny amount. I am sure it is coming.
