So I'm definitely going apple picking and bringing J with me. Usually it is just my mom, sister, my niece & nephew, and me however this year my dad and BIL are coming. I invited DH but Michigan football is more important to him.
We're going to a birthday party for our friend. Past birthday parties have included a cake from the Cake Boss (we live in Pittsburgh, so it was shipped in), a dj, and a barista making whatever coffee and tea drinks you like. They're always catered by some awesome local place, too. Yum!
I had to lol at H this morning - after her 6 AM feed, I went to *try* to put LO down. She almost always is awake and my H has woken her up three times this week when I've tried. Anyways, she sleeps on his side of the bed and he was all, "do you want me to move over so you can rock her?" LOL NOPE. You're dealing with that, buddy! So I got another glorious hour of sleep.
Has anyone ever seen Pioneer Woman? I love food network, but this chick is not real life. She homeschools her four kids and just made chicken noodle soup and chocolate dipped s'mores from scratch for lunch. Is that what you do everyday wegrowsheep?
I craved salsa by the gallons when I was pregnant. My mom even made sure to have it at Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner last year. And I still love it. I use chips more often now to eat it.
DH has a flag football game today. I'm planning to take O. Other than that we have zero plans. Maybe we'll actually finally make it to church tomorrow.
Baby slept in the crib for the first time last night...I think it was much harder on me than him.
We just moved him out of the bassinet and into the pnp. He's still in our room but about 3 feet further from me. I seriously almost cried. I think I'm turning into a sMother. It probably didn't help that the first time he woke up in the pnp, h had to wake me. I didn't hear him at all. In my defense, I was beyond exhausted. Our timeline for moving him to his crib is by Christmas. I think the only reason h hasn't suggested it sooner is that the nursery is upstairs and our room is downstairs.

Apparently it's batman day! DH brought home a t-shirt for me and a onesie for J, and I guess we are going to a comic book store party? In my defense I was just waking up from a nap when he told me all this yesterday, so I'm a little fuzzy on the details. Hopefully he doesn't mind that I'm going to put a big bow on her... It's a boys onesie and we already get most people asking how old "he" is... But it should be really cute! I love my geeky DH.
budders I'm glad he slept a bit more, fingers crossed you're past the worst of it!
So H called me last night to tell me our local community centre/early years centre was burnt down! We live in a pretty rural area and it's really the only place that runs mom & baby groups/community meet ups. Thank god no one was hurt, looks like someone set fire to a car behind the building. Really terrible, can't believe the assholes in the world. Looks like no baby group for me when I get home
Oh no that's awful! Coming from a rural, small town myself I really understand how important these things are too and how hard it is on the community when something like that happens. I hope they are able to rebuild someday.

We also have our bedroom downstairs and the nursery upstairs. I want to move him up there, but not before he's waking up two times or less. I don't want to climb the stairs 5 times a night! Plus, we still need to find an affordable glider or rocker for the nursery

The crib is in the nursery which is just across the hall. I would have loved to keep him in the bassinet but he's too big. I could not cope with separate floor.

LOL you just made my morning. Alas,. I am not that epically domestic, but I could totally outfold Martha Stewart with fitted sheets.
And today is cider day! Maybe I'll remember to take a picture. We also have new calves arriving (one born yesterday, 3 the day before).
So pissed right now. SO guilted me into staying up late last night until 1:30 am, saying how we never spend time together. So I stay up and he plays video games and basically ignores me all night then I go to bed when I can't stay awake any longer. This morning the baby was awake at 6:30 ready for the day and I haven't had a chance to nap yet and it's already noon. HE'S BEEN ASLEEP THIS WHOLE FUCKING TIME! I keep trying to wake him up but I get the whole " I actually work for a living so I'm tired" bullshit. He hears the baby screaming and he just shuts the door and goes back to sleep. I'm so fucking irritated.

DH has been trying to get me to have sex for three days (now that I'm finally on bc) and I've been totally frigid. Now the baby's napping and I'm sort of up for it (note I didn't say I want to) and he's super grumpy playing video games. I know it's "up to me" to make it happen now that I rejected him so many times but that's so hard when I don't really want it. You feel me? Ugh.

Flick that's bullshit. DH also sleeps in every Saturday so I'd never agree to staying up late bc I know I'll be on duty in the morning! Definitely not worth it if you didn't even hang out!

Fisrt, invest in a protective cover for your mattress. Then, ice water. That shit would not fly in my house.
Or start job searching, and mention that you're enrolling LO in daycare, so you can work for a living too. Mention the cost of daycare.....
I really wish I could ice water his ass right now. I am planning on going back to school next fall when we get a second car. I've already mentioned the cost of daycare/ wanting to find a job but then he goes overboard with kissing my ass telling me how important he thinks what I do at home is. And how he could never do it and I work harder than him. But I know he's bullshitting. Anything to save money but then bitch about how he has it harder. Before I got pregnant he would tell me all the time how easy my job probably was and then he lost his job and out of desperation he came to work with me. He did the same fucking job as me and still said he had it worse because he worked harder. Yeah, okay buddy that's why I got promoted to operator in two months of working there and he was still general labor. Ugh that man I swear.

Omg what's with men thinking they're working harder than everyone??? DH complains that is true at his job. And when we both worked full time he would all but roll his eyes if I mentioned being tired from work.
I'm a therapist so I think he imagines me sitting in a big comfy chair sipping sparkling water all day. Not listening to traumatizing stories, breaking up arguments, etc. Shit is exhausting! He does more manual labor so I never doubted he was more physically tired, but that fight was the worst because he really wouldn't agree that I was probably tired too.

My SO bought me a super soaker squirt gun while I was pregnant for times where I got super irritated with him. Shoot him straight in the face somewhere else. That way you don't have to change the sheets! He's being a bit ridiculous.
Similarly, MH stays up later than I do. I used to try to stay up with him since we are now basically roommates. But then a few days ago he mentioned that he always tries to stay up later than me so that he could get "me time". I'm sorry, you never get your ass up in the middle of the night and I'm usually the one watching T while mh watches football Monday night, Thursday night and all day Sunday. How much more fucking "me time" does this man need? So now I go to bed at 9:00 and don't put out anymore.
Edited to change words. Because you know a spur gun is completely different

nchauhan my H stays up to get me time also. Similarly, he loves that I usually go out Friday's with my friends because he gets alone time with DB and then after he puts him to bed he gets free reign of the house. Win win.
Sorry nchauhan what a dick move. Didn't you say before that he works a bunch? If I'm remembering correctly then wtf for real. Hopefully the sexy time shut out will bring him to his senses.
carolyngrace men just don't understand that you can be emotionally tired and drained as well. Probably because all men are robots.
carolyngrace, MH's attempt to put T down include holding him for 5 min until he closes his eyes and then he puts him down. When T wakes back up, my husband says that T obviously needs me. I mean, try to soothe him and put him back down! Most of the time I just fed him so it's not like he needs to nurse.
Also, normally I would say for you to bone your husband when you're kind of feeling it. But right now I'm totally projecting and saying not to. Yea, I'm an immature brat sometimes hah
