Saturday's Spamathon

[lilyelayne]

Happy weekend, ladies!

[lilyelayne]

I'm going to pretend like DS didn't wake up when I laid him down in his crib after feeding him & go back to bed myself. He'll probably follow suit, right?

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne totes!

I work today. But hope to see the Cubs pull out a win tonight. My dad bought me a W flag for my bday and I want to use it this year dammit.

[pitdigger]

G misses DH when he's not around. I lnow this, but it's sad at night when he G calls for him and looks for him. It's even sadder because G and I could be sleeping. Instead, we're waking fairly often. DH better buy me something nice after this trip.

[aggiebug]

Yeah he will definitely sleep. They will do anything we ask of them right? Right?


I am actually up and at'em early this morning. Our church has a service ministry called Grace ministries that is this morning so I am going (solo wahoo!) to help serve. Then a surprise lunch for a friend.

[dreemkin]

Oh and my almost 3 year old wants to be a chicken for Halloween (ChickenOnSunday) so I HAVE to decide on one today so I can get it in time for the 31st. No luck in stores, that's an online purchase.

We get back home Tuesday. But I think I have to take the wakeups that night because on Wednesday DH finally has the interview we've been waiting for.

Hi all! I actually caught the spam thread to day, only to have really nothing to report. It's so damn hot here, it hit 107 at one point yesterday. I hate being negative but when it's so warm I feel like it just cripples my productivity.

Do you have a local B/S/T group on Facebook? Maybe you can score something gently used.

[lilyelayne]

pitdigger that is precious, but probably not at night when you're exhausted.
badw0lf now you get some kid free time?
jensoprano82 we had two days of "maybe it'll be fall soon" then back to the 90s. Fist bump of solidarity.

[lilyelayne]

Face timing with nephew2 while he sits on the toilet for potty training weekend. The things we have to look forward to, y'all.

[cloe111479]

I'm sitting in the car outside the assisted living place letting dd nap while we wait for the uhaul and dh to get here with my grandmas furniture. (Along with my parents and my grandma). We didn't want to leave as early as we did but.. Dd decided that 6 am is a great time to get up on the weekend.

It's going to be a long day and I'm sure an early night.

[FlutterOfYoshis]

Good morning! DD slept in her crib overnight for the first time. She'd been in the crib only for naps up til then so we didn't know whatto expect...only 3 wake-ups and a playful wake-up for the day! So proud of her! Hope she gets even better over time!

We're heading to a friend's daughter's 1st birthday party today. It's an hour to get there, but they're moving to Florida for a job later this month and the social interaction with other babies will be good for DD, too.

Holy cow that is hot! I had to put the heat on this morning :/

I took DD1 to the trampoline park this morning. It was a fun time! We are going to a BBQ at our neighbors new house, they just moved.

You could do the diy route of leotard, tights, wings made of cardboard with feathers, paper beak tied on with string, and feathers in hair.

[seamonster]

The birthday party was fun. DS was the youngest, but still had a good time. He's used to playing with older babies so no issues there. I'm definitely getting him a walker pushcart thing for Christmas. It'll be perfect at 10 months.

[cougarette]

Lazy day of football. But I did put up some of our inside Halloween decorations.

[cougarette]

Oh and I was just now trying to get DS to take a nap. He naps so well on his tummy, so I had him there patting his butt. Well he kept rolling over. On the hand I'm so proud. But on the other hand, go to sleep, dude!

[pitdigger]

Apple picking was fun, even if there weren't any on the trees.

And I got G a new mattress, a walker, and a car seat travel bag.

[WittyLittle]

heyhey! I caught spam too! Yay! TLDR: all is well but my brain is fried from sick baby, solo parenting and work stress.

My BIL is here so DH and him are off playing a gig somewhere. I managed to get the house cleaned up and now sitting down enjoying my first beer of the week. Aaaaaaaah... just in time for bed. It's almost midnight here! They have been playing 1-2 gigs every day for the past week so I'm alone with Jake and trying to take care of them also because DH also works 3 days a week and my BIL is useless with doing anything around the house. He's a nice guy though so it makes up for it

I'm taking Jake back to the doctor's on Monday. He threw up half of his dinner from coughing and now he's breathing quicker and heavier than normal in his sleep. I got scared so I timed it (I'm pretty impressed this is the first time in 8 months that I'm doing this!) He rolled over again when I started which made the count a bit better I guess, about 34 breaths a minute. Not very worrying but I have a feeling the bronchiolitis is on it's way back. 6 weeks of this now. It's doing stuff to my brain!

Work's not going very well. The changes my corona suggested completely knock out my results, so now I have to decide what the problem is- is the theory flawed, is the data/statistics flawed, or are these changes actually not helpful to the overall story. So now I have 4 versions of the model and trying to keep it all straight in my head.

I'm gonna head to bed. So jealous of all this halloween talk!!! Next year I want to organise something for my village that all the kids can go out to trick or treat. I was too late to get organised this year as I don't know anyone here really but that's my goal!

Hugs to all and to all a good night

Teeth!! Aaarg!!!
DD was super fussy last night and woke up serveral times more than usual. DH was actually up playing with her for 30 min MOTN because she would. not. fall. asleep. And then we discovered today that she has cut her first tooth... So that explains a lot of her behaviour the last couple of days. No drool though, I guess that's why it caught us so off guard.

Ugh! Hope tgat resolves quickly! Teeth are the woooooorst why cant we just go through 3 days of bad pain and have them all pop in together???

[lilyelayne]

WittyLittle hugs! Sending good healthy relaxed vibes your way.
@alyllyra DS didn't get especially drooly for his teeth either, but definitely dropped sleep amount & quality.
badw0lf ugh at your MIL. I've let my mom & sister carry DS in our buckle carrier, but most of the time I just have my wrap & I get all the carry snuggles

We went to the rinky dink zoo today and F was a champ. He got kinda cranky but I just put him the Tula and he calmed down. This apparently makes me "greedy" but screw you MIL he is my kid.
We also went to eat a chain restaurant and I was so nervous he would have a meltdown because he didn't nap. He didn't make a scene at all until the very end when he projectile barfed from a puff all over me and the floor. I was so embarrassed until this server came over to help cleanup and said "my daughter has a terrible gag reflex too and does that at least once a day".

Lovetit in support. Public barf is the worst. Does F throw up things like puffs often? Jake barfed all over our shopping cart at ikea. Spagbol all over a white spread... turns out i wasn't obligated to buy it though!

lilyelayne Good to know. All the babies in my Moms group were apparently super drooly so I just thought that was the cue to look for...

WittyLittle Sounds so stressful. Relaxed vibes heading your way. Have a good night! (I should sleep too)

badw0lf You be "greedy" if you want to

[lilyelayne]

Sometimes I feel bad about being "greedy" but then I remind myself that one day I'll be happy to offload him to the in laws so who cares if I'm "greedy" now.

Never feel bad for that
