We are having a big party for my boss's retirement today. Im arriving to the venue early to help set up but i didnt realize until people were talking yesterday that a lot of people are coming early to do some heavy drinking... At like 10am. So i guess im going to be taking care of a bunch of drunk people crying their eyes out all day and try to make sure they dont make too much of a fool of themselves in front of the executive leaders?
I am stupidly hosting a baby shower this weekend for one of my dearest friends. Said shower is at my house. Said house is a wreck (for my standards). I started back at work this week and B has been waking up 3+ times a night. I am exhausted by the time I get home, and want to do nothing but spend time with B. I can't get a cleaner to come on such short notice (I've never had our house cleaned by a cleaner, but I got SO excited at the prospect), so I've got to do it on top of all of the food and decor. I feel like this was a very bad decision. Cue insanity.
I feel a bit hypocritical. I always encourage DH to go out with his friends because he rarely does. Well yesterday he did and he drank some. Which I'm totally cool with, except that he fell asleep on the couch at like 730 & hasn't woken up since ( 12 hours later). It would be nice for you to have not passed out dude, so maybe I could've had a break. Guess not.
I am a zombie. I haven't slept in 6 nights, and last night was the worst. V just wanted to be held all night, and it felt like the first week home from the hospital. I've been in tears since I got to work because I feel like I'm being stretched so thin and barely staying afloat.
There is a reason sleep deprivation is a war tatic - its debilitating.
Hugs girl, Im running on empty too. I keep telling myself worst case I claw my way through the next 2/3 months until I feel comfortable sleep training.

How was you first day/ week back? And I hear you on the exhaustion after work and wanting to hang with LO:( I've been back to work for 2 weeks and I'm basically pushing all chores and house things until the weekend. I'm sure the baby shower will be beautiful!
Didn't wash my hair this morning and saved myself 20 extra minutes in bed this morning. I wasn't even sleeping but it was amazing!
I shower at night. I actually did this pre-baby, too. That way all I have to do is style my hair in the morning instead of washing and drying it too. Anything to suck every last minute out of my time in bed.
I usually do that, but I got sucked into watching OTH for an extra episode and just wanted to go to sleep when it was over. I promised myself I'd shower in the morning but wouldn't wash my hair;)

I'm terrified of the 4 month sleep regression... I don't know how much worse things can get around here. Oh, and DD1 used to play quietly in her crib every morning when she woke up. Now she climbs out. Time for a toddler bed, and no more lounging around for me.
We're going to Columbus, Ohio the first weekend in November and there's an inside pool I wanted to take LO in. My family keeps saying she's too young. I'm going to bring up the swim lessons!
H couldn't find a sitter for this afternoon so I had to stay home today. You bet your ass I made him get up and take care of LO this morning when she was awake at 6 AM. Haha.

Hi to all the tired peeps out there (budders, sugarkissed, etc.) My kid slept for 10 hours straight last night for the first time probably ever, and I was up for all but 2 of them being anxious and not tired. Life is cruel, I look and feel horrible, and my MIL is coming right now to take us shopping. I am going to have to plaster my happy face on.
I just got 5 sets of pajamas at carters for less than $30. Cotton sets are all less than $7, and everything else is 50% off. Threw in a set from Oshkosh to get free shipping and used the friends in family code to get another 25% off everything. I feel like a pajama wizard!
As if I needed ANOTHER reason to order from Carters.....thanks for the tip:) *runs off to fill cart and place order*

I'm going shopping there on Saturday with my mom and sister. Love a good deal!
We have different sales but I ordered a bunch of Jammie's from there and then yesterday my mom bought him another six pairs.
DH is staying home sick with his man cold. Dude knew he was getting sick, bought DayQuil but no NyQuil so he suffered for no reason last night. Conveniently enough I work today and DD will go to daycare so he can relax at home all day by himself. Poor guy has it so tough.
ETA
Edited again because holy errors batman.
DH is the opposite. He will have a cold with a hacking cough and then jump on his road bike and ride 50 miles up a mountain. When I ask him to slow down and rest he just tells me 'honey, I don't have a fever it's just a cold', and I wonder how DS has so much energy all the time and hates naps!
We have our first swim lesson this morning! I'm nervous/excited!!
What are you using for swim diapers? Where did you find them? DH and I are going out of town next week and while he's in class I was hoping to take Cole swimming, but I couldn't find disposable swim diapers small enough. Size small starts at like 15 pounds

Always on the move, even when he's sleeping. On the left is where I put him down last night. He then kicks and scoots so much in his sleep we wake up to the pic in the right. Anyone else's LO do this?

Yup mine is either terrifyingly still or moving like a wild animal!

This is exactly my life too. This past week has been hell. Non stop nursing at night, no sleeping longer than an hour, refuses to sleep unless im holding him. I assumed it was a growth spurt but then I read that some breastfed babies reverse cycle in daycare so that they can fill up on breastmilk at night and take less bottles during the day. Has anyone else heard this?? I hope to god this isn't happening since a growth spurt has an end point whereas T will be in daycare forever. Would a baby start reverse cycling after 6 weeks of daycare?
Somethings gotta give, I'm worthless at work and cranky at home. I've cried twice in a 12 hour period. Ugh

Part of my daily conversation with DH is where J ended up by the time she woke up. She always goes to the left of the crib, never the right and always to the back never the front. I always put her in the middle just to give her the most opportunity Some nights she just scoots against the back wall. Sometimes she turns 90 degrees and scoots to the left back corner. She totally takes after me, when I was younger I was quite the mover.
