Got a wild hair and decided to go three hours away to my little cousins birthday party. Wasn't going to go but I got sad that my family would be together today and I'd be home alone with N.
I got 8 hours of sleep last night! It was a broken sleep, but total of 8!!
Oh and I need some nursing tops. Anyone have any recommendations?
Check out undercover mama. It's a top without straps, attaches to your nursing bra. It's slim fitting so you wear it under your normal tops. I heart them.
Need to go shopping for a wedding present. Their wedding is today, but it's 3 hours away and I'd have to go alone with E. Too scared. I'm a horrible night driver. H is on 24 hour duty. They're having a small get together tomorrow though, so we're going to that. For now, I'm cleaning the jogging stroller and taking it for a test drive at the park later.

It's rained all morning here...ruined my am plans of going to the playground. Not sure what we'll do now. C man has been awake all morning too. He's nursing and hopefully going to sleep for a bit so I can give dd some one on one attention.
We're having friends over for dinner tonight, a couple who have t seen our new house. So I really want to pick up and get a few things hung on the walls that we haven't gotten to. I also had high hopes of running and taking a shower this morning, but a certain tiny human is being a touch difficult this morning. She was up a fair portion of the night. You'd think at some point she'd get tired and take a reasonable nap!
I had every intention of going to the fall festival parade today. I still need to shower and eat breakfast and get DD out of pj's. No way I have time to do that and get there before it starts.
We're busy getting things ready for DD1's bday party next Saturday. I'm making these adorable Elmo cupcakes that I'm pretty excited about. She is currently obsessed with him. But more importantly, how do I have a 2 year old??
DD2 actually slept pretty good last night after a terrible night before. It seems like every time she has a really rough night, she sleeps pretty good next night. Or maybe I'm just so tired I don't hear her...
Well M and I aren't going to the shower. Just got a text from my friend I hung out with Thursday night that her 16 month old has strep. She got a fever Friday late afternoon and pediatrician diagnosed strep this morning. I'm not going to chance getting everyone sick, especially not someone who is 8 months pregnant!
FX M doesn't get sick! He was a little fussy right after I got the text so of course I freaked a little. He's acting fine now but I'll be keeping an eye out to see if we need to go yuk the doctor tomorrow morning.

Thank you for taking contagious things seriously. My family would be telling me this as they hold A. Right before I smack the shit out of them and spray lysol in their face.
motownthrowdown yeah people who don't take things like that seriously are assholes. My dad is HIV+ so it's something I've taken into account long before M was here.

Total rant alert. DH has been away all week for work. Before he left he gave me this big speech after I was hesitant to go on two long outings in a day with L. She does not really like the car seat. Well, he doesn't want us to be "stuck" home just bc of an infant. UgH!! So today there's a boat show and I know he wanted to go so I said we could give it a try. As im feeding her before we leave and hes pacing because we're late he says maybe you're right we should just stay home. WtF man! Im the one who pumped the extra bottle, packed the bag, timed the feedings so she'd sleep in the car, and now you realize how much work it is to get out of the house?!?

misstunes I totally get that. My dh had to get A ready to go one time and it took him like 20 minutes to figure out what she would need and get it together.
That moment when you bring a glass of water to bed at your in laws and don't have a coaster so you improvise with a breast pad... [\quote] I use my breast pads to wipe up lots of spills or use them to keep my nipple shield when I'm not using it.

misstunes, motownthrowdown, I promise they get better at it. My H does a much better job at it now, than he used to when she was younger. I remember a time when he took her with him to the gym and dropped her off with only ONE extra diaper, didn't make sure the wipes container was full and NO extra clothes. She came home in a loaned outfit because she'd had a blowout while there...Now, he knows how to pack and does it very well.
Michigan football today which means we are in our Jammie's all day watching a pice stream bc lol big ten network. E was up half the night and I tried to sleep in bed which means I'm sore and exhausted. DH complained last night that I don't even try to come to bed, well it's so I don't have to get up at all when he cries. Sigh.
Thea actually took a decent nap and my mom came over to play with the older two, so DH cleaned out the garage while I went for a 3 mile run, took a shower and blow dried my hair (mostly) all before she woke up. Such a good recharge for my batteries!
runningmommy519 that's awesome!! I took out DS in the jogging stroller for the first time since DD was born. Ran for about 2 minutes and was done. Walked the rest of the way. I'm seriously impressed
Today is the party for DS's second birthday. Can't believe my baby is already 2!

This is my last weekend before going back to work on Monday. Eloise will be 1 day shy of 6 weeks. Good thing is she gets to go to work with me. I'm torn between dreading being back on cottage duty and excited that I'll be with DH all week again. These past 5 weeks, I've been alone with Eloise Monday through Friday, 24 hours a day. So I've been exhausted, having no help while DH was working. But we've managed.
And my migraines have officially returned. I got really spoiled by not having any migraines while pregnant.

On the bright side for you, it's not typical that newborns or kids under one get strep according to DS's pedi. He was exposed a few times last year and again last week. DS actually had HFM, but they told me again that even if he had strep that I wouldn't have to worry about B getting it.
I was able to get to the gym for the first time today too! And I even attempted running (umm jogging). Way to go!
This was definitely more of a jog. But I did it. For 15 min. Without stopping. I think it was about a 13ish min/mile. I was able to hold a 12 min/mile for a few minutes. Typical for me is between 10-11 so this is pretty good considering I haven't really ran in almost a yr

We're in Brooklyn for the day at DH's grandparents' place. I think half the block has stopped by to see DD already! Between the good food and the people, I really like this neighborhood
DD was a month old yesterday, I caught a cute pic of her smiling in her sleep:
