I tried to get LO to go back to sleep around 6:30...finally gave up after 7. I get us downstairs and she falls asleep in her rock n play for an hour. Oh, kid.
DH has a work trip to Portland starting this morning so he just left at 5am. We are off to my parents house to spend the first half of the week by the beach.
So I'm spending my Monday morning packing. In a few hours my entire car will be filled w baby stuff. Stroller, bouncer, PNP,toys,clothes.....
My child actually slept from 9-3:30, dream fed a bottle in his RnP, and stayed asleep. I only got him up at 6:00 am because I needed to nurse him before I hit the road in a few minutes here to drive three hours for work today... and I wanted to see him first. And he's asleep again now. Fucking calloo callay! But could he please do this again on a day when I don't have to get up at 5:30 anyway?
I'd love to play today but I'm on the road. Womp womp... do something entertaining for me to catch up on when I get home this evening.

Thanks to the wonder week, we had a screaming, non eating, non napping kid all weekend. Yesterday at about 4:30 pm we finally succeeded at getting her in the rnp. And she slept til almost 8 am, with wakeups to eat at 10, 2 and 6. Hopefully today is back to normal, because that shit was weird.
LO's movement alarm went off twice this morning. I really hope it's because she was in a weird spot in her crib. I moved her back to the middle and it didn't go off again.
A friend of my H's got pregnant with twins before her daughter's first birthday. She had the babies maybe close to a month ago now and every time she posts a picture I'm just in awe of her. She mentioned on fb that her daughter is growing up so much and 18 months old now! She also posted a picture of pushing her kids in a triple stroller the other day. My brain hurts for her, but she seems to be doing well!

My landlord is SO lucky we had a good night last night. Mother effer is in the upstairs apartment at 8AM with powersaws and a heavy handed hammer, sounds like dude is straight sledgehammering the floor above our heads. It woke me and LO up after we just fell back to sleep and I woulda be a whole lot more pissed if it wasnt for the 6 whole hours of sleep I managed last night... still though, isn't there some kind of respect issue like, lets start loud construction projects maybe after 9AM at least? Im admittedly NOT a morning person, so maybe its just that. But it seems rude!
tiffbot I can't even imagine! periwinkledaydreams I tend to be a morning person and that would still have me feeling murderous. Glad you got another good stretch again last night!
We really need to catch up around the house today. We were at the lake all weekend, plus I decided to relax on Friday so my house has been neglected. At the very least I need to wash diapers and put some clean laundry and dishes away.

I have a cold and I'm slightly cranky about it. Especially because I can't really take anything thanks to BFing. My house is a disaster because I didn't do anything more than nap/feed LO yesterday. And I had to come in to work for my long day (11.5hrs) because maternity leave = no PTO. Not to mention I don't even get to see DD until 7:30pm when I get home and will have just enough time to feed her and put her to bed. Today just keeps piling on the stupid!!

I know somebody asked in a different thread about when to use the uppababy seat instead of the bassinet and of course I can't find it, but here's the insert you can use for a baby under 6m! uppababy.com/accessories/vista/infant-snugseat/
It's my last Monday at home. A week from now I'll be back teaching. I'm a hot mess of emotions.
Me too, jessila. I've been crying on and off all weekend, and B and I are still in bed snuggling because I refuse to be distracted by anything else this week. I am feeling like I am making the wrong decision by going back to work. This is so unbelievably hard

Good luck budders! Let us know how you fare. We have had the same same thing, of course every time I go to the ped for something else it looks good that day. I have been doing sterile water a billion times a day for a billion days,and my DH is starting to side eye me about it needing to be checked out. He's probably right.

How I feel when JimBob requests entertainment:
OMG! STFU with that shit because I'm in the courtroom browsing while waiting for my case to be called and totally just snorted out loud.

Watching the baby that screams all day, hates to nap, and hates bottles. Oh, and we have a funeral 4 hours away tomorrow that were driving to tonight. And my house and life are a mess.
But at this very moment I'm drinking coffee on my beautiful porch while by some grace of God both babies are asleep at the same time. This moment may be the only calm I get today!
I've never been to Portland so my only frame of reference for the city is watching Portlandia
Spot on. Except you need a beer snob gif.
DH just texted me that he gets to bring home another new couch from work, the mirror image of the one we have. on the plus side, they are pretty leather couches, and they wipe clean. On the down side, they aren't as cozy as our old couch. But another plus, is that they don't smell like nasty dog.. Our old couch was a "gift" from BIL and his wife, since they didn't need it anymore. However it reeked of dog, and even though we went over the whole thing with a carpet cleaner vacuum, the couch itself still smells (the cushions are great, because I'm a domestic goddess). So, unless we give away a new couch, or give away or dump the old one, I will have 3 couches tomorrow.

Ugh. This reminds me of a similar situation we had back in February in our last apartment. 7 am on a saturday , replacing siding. Siding that was near impossible for them to get off because the maintenance guy had caulked around the window after I complained about leaks, even though the leaks were coming from inside. I'm not a morning person either.

That's when you start looking for a tissue and wiping your node and pretending it was some kind of insane sneeze/cough combo. Not that I have ever done anything like that, of course...

I prayed that when I went in for my ultrasound, there was only one little baby in there! I think I would have a nervous breakdown with twins!
