I fee like I should've named this thread Fun Friday or Fantastic Friday but it seems so... uninspired. Maybe Fragilistic Friday? Fundiferous Friday?

[gingerygirl]

H and I had a long talk the other day about how I need more of his help, especially with the baby. He said he would try harder. This morning I discovered that his definition of "trying" is holding the baby for two minutes and then giving up when he won't stop crying and handing him to me. No, dude. That's not how this is supposed to work.

In other news, I'm going shopping today. I can't decide if I want to risk bringing baby with me or risk leaving him at home with H.

kaeguri the extra letters make it as festive as I am prepared to handle in my current state of awakeness.

Ugh sorry. I found that when I tell my husband exactly what I need done it ends up better in the long run. I think boys have a different definition than we do about what is helpful. I have dh and my dd clean the playroom every night. Even tho this is our second if the baby is crying I end up with her, dh isn't great at figuring out her cues, he's much better with the toddler.

gingerygirl I'd fix a few bottles and leave him with your husband. Didn't he watch him when you had your orientation?

Are you taking your LO? Let me know how it goes, we're going to universal in 3 weeks and I can't be excited about it yet bc I'm too busy stressing over the mechanics of bringing baby. Where do I nurse? How is she going to be waiting in line? What if she starts screaming to eat as I'm in line? Should I put in her in a carrier or bring the stroller? Ahhh. Have fun!!

Leave him. How else will he learn?

[ampaints]

Good luck with the move @aliam20!

Having lunch with MIL and niece today then H and I are going out to eat tonight. So this means I'll be made to decide where we're eating twice today as neither of them will make the decision. But yeah for not cooking today!

We just did Seaworld yesterday. I pump, so had bottles for Logan. We brought our Double Stroller and I brought my Ergo, but it was so flipping hot that I ended up just keeping him in the stroller and not even wearing him.

Jealous. So jealous.

My sister is cutting my hair today and may color it if she has time AND she's waxing my eyebrows.
I may look like a human by the end of the day.

[runningmommy519]

gingerygirl leave him and go shopping.

kaeguri whenever I'm not sure if I should bring the stroller or the carrier i bring both.

@aliam20 good luck with the move. I still checked in when we moved Just saying

This sounds amazing. I'm getting all of this done on Thursday next week and I can't wait. I'm probably going to cut off 3-4". So excited. I might get a bikini wax sometime next week too. I want to feel like sexy me again.

[runningmommy519]

I'm not sure what the plan is today. Kids are getting over cold so decided to skip playdate today. dS1 has been bugging me to go to the pet store. He likes looking at all the animals and it will probably kill an hour or so.

Preschool is today and E's 2 month check up. I might try to walk to the clinic. Anxious to see how much he weighs!!!!

[girlonabike]

I have my back-to-work (full duty) check up today. Ugh, I hate being reminded that I'll be back at work in 2 weeks. I plan on doing nothing this afternoon when I get back except for relaxing as much as possible. Good side: hubster is only working an 8 hour shift today and tomorrow is his day off. Guess who's going to be taking care of Liam tonight? (Hint: NOT ME). I'll have some pumping to do this afternoon too.

Get excited! We gave annual passes and use to bring dd when she was baby. I will be bringing both carrier and stroller. I suggest bringing bottles of breast milk if you let her have bottles. Not sure there are breast feeding rooms (there are at Sea World). But there are plenty of places with a/c that you can sit and nurse. Don't stress about screaming baby, babies scream. Lol We switched to formula so feeding when hungry is easier now just by popping bottle out. We honestly don't do a lit if rides and when we do we take turns in single passenger line. Today we are going for like 1 or 2 rides and to try 1 of the new restaurants that just opened.

[noname]

I'm convinced DD2 is getting a tooth. There's a spot on her gums that really looks like a tooth is about to pop through. DD1 just got her last 2 year molar a few weeks ago, I'm not ready to deal with teething again. Hopefully I'm just imagining it.

I say go for it. Take carrier and stroller. Look up on their website if they have any mothers rooms or call and ask. Plus, I'm sure there are benches that are out of the way, so you can nurse.
Try to plan your line waiting around nursing/naps. Overall, I think you'll be fine.

It's probably an Epstein's Pearl which is harmless and eventually go away on their own. Little Bones had a couple and it looks like Littlest has a couple as well.

My house smells like cat piss. Anyone want a cat?

[elvenqueen]

We are moving in approximately 2 months. DH has about 3 weeks of work left. We have booked 0 flights. We have gotten rid of some stuff and started clearing out a few cupboards and shelves, but the bulk of the work is going to have to be done when DH is home, cuz twins is making planning and doing things impossible. Blarrrgh I can't wait until this is all done once and for all.
