I think it's Thursday

[zonagirl]

telos congrats to your SIL! Cousins are exciting! My cousin is married, no kids, and lives out here. She is my double cousin so we have always been closer than cousins and my LO will think of her as an aunt and her kids as cousins. I don't ever pressure her to have kids, she is only 24 and I wasn't ready at 24! But I can't wait for when/if she does. Because cousins for my lo!!

DD2 fell asleep in the stroller on our walk and actually stayed asleep when we got home. This has never happened before but it is amazing. I took a shower, made some phone calls, put up laundry. The only problem is I parked the stroller in front of the pantry door and I'm afraid she'll wake up if I move it now. But I'm hungry! The struggle is real, I guess I'll be starving in silence while she sleeps.

Ds was not amused when I woke him up to change and feed him before leaving to take dd to school. Then he and I ran errands and now we're hanging out with my mom for a bit while we wait to pick up dd.

Just saw the rain forecast for my town- 11.5 inches this weekend. My hometown, 90 minutes away, 19.8 inches. This is not going to be fun. It's already been torrential downpours every day this and last week. The ground is mush. It rained 6 inches last month and everything flooded worse than I've ever seen. I feel like we should prepare but I dunno what to do. Do not like.

So, I had Isaac dressed in the cutest, coziness outfit for his two-month visit today, but baby law dictates that he must poop ALL OVER that outfit.

(And toddler law dictates that, as I change Isaac's diaper, DD is in the other room taking off all of her clothes).

This is why moms always wait until the last minute to get their kids dressed.

Sounds like my morning. Dd peed through her pull up as N had a poosplosion

LIttle girl is sleeping on me. She doesn't daytime nap anymore. I can't decide whether I should risk moving her to the rock n play and getting dressed/being productive or sitting here while she naps.

I'm probably just going to sit here

This is my constant dilemma.

It is where a set of sisters married a set of brothers. Then each couples' kids will be double cousins. My mom and dad got married and my mom's little sister ans my dad's big brother got to know each other from being MOH and BM and then they got married. It would be an adorable story, but then my parents got divorced shortly after that, so then my poor aunt and uncle had to go through dating each other while their brother and sister were going through divorcing each other. Awkward. I hope I explained it well, when you first hear it and don't think about it, it sounds like incest, but I promise it isn't! Haha. It is cool for the cousins because we share all family members, on both sides.

I'm sure this is already a thing, but hot chocolate made with half milk and coffee is amazing.

thewop FX for your SIL. I do not miss all that pregnancy worrying.

bibliothecary ugh that's rough.

livnluv2010 I hurt my tailbone during labour and 8 weeks later it's still gives me trouble. Such an annoying injury. I feel your pain.

lemon200 don't risk the move!

Ugh! I'm so sorry you know what this feels like! Hope you are better soon.

What a great picture! So cute

Hoping to get to the farmers market today. It's the second to last week!

This makes me want to go to our farmers market! Apparently Raleigh has an awesome one, but I haven't had a chance to check it out yet since I have moved here!

Eta: I hope you get some good eats!

Slim pickings today. Lame. I only walked away with a loaf of apple bread for French toast on Saturday.

[amberlie]

E slept 5 hours straight last night without being right next to me. I actually got to sleep! But I woke up every hour debating whether I should check if she's still breathing bc she never sleeps that long. And now she seems to have my cold. Poor baby is so congested and coughing

If you are near Raleigh you HAVE to go. And go eat at the big restaurant. You can thank me later.

Build an ark. Downtown is going to float away.

[htuzzi324]

3 big suitcases. 1 pump bag, 1 diaper bag, 1 stroller, 3 kids, and me.
This is going to be fun.

Hey-o! My parents are coming tomorrow for the weekend (FINALLY) to meet DD and spend time with DS. I'm so excited to see them but this place is a total disaster, gahhh!

I like your aunt.

Anybody wanna head over to the baby questions thread and take a look at the picture I posted. I'm starting to suspect a mild tongue tie, but I just don't know. Am I a hypochondriac? Haha

[ars093s]

My cable and internet just went down...apparently there's an outage in the area. And a police helicopter has been circling overhead for the past 30 minutes. Fun times this morning!

[ady45]

My PP check was today. We discussed my birth control and decided to do the mirena. They sent off the preapproval to my insurance and they got an immediate response. We went ahead and had it placed today. It didn't hurt as much as I was expecting. The worst was just laying on the damn table. I have had tailbone pain since M was born and laying on the table really made it hurt worse.

We don't have an uo Thursday thread, so I guess I will post this here. I let my 10 week old "CIO" by that I mean she was fussy, tired, and nothing else I tried would get her to sleep, so I went outside for a few min to gather my sanity, and she cried for about 5 min and then fell asleep in her swing. Huh. Little poop. Might have to try that again.

Eh, 5min is hardly cry it out territory! I regularly let her cry a few min while I poop or finish my lunch.

I'm really hoping the matinence guy comes to fix our fridge today. I've been calling for a week about it. It doesn't get cold enough to keep the milk from spoiling. If I lose another gallon of milk I will scream.

[motownthrowdown]

Since it's nice here today, I had the back door open. We have a screen on it, so I figured no bugs could get in, right? WRONG. The wind pulled the curtains up against the screen, so I went to pull them back and there was a giant fucking spider crawling across the wall. I trapped it inside a vase. With plastic wrap over the top. And it's inverted over a sheet of paper on the carpet. I don't want to transport it.

Breastmilk? Somebody would die.
