We're decorating for Halloween this weekend and tomorrow we are having friends over for thanksgiving dinner. It's not actually until Monday but we always do dinner on Sunday in my family.
I went to Paint Night last night! It was so fun! I want to do it again! I had wine for the first time since last September! So sad that I was buzzed after one glass.

Baby pooped on the potty this morning. Meaning that I was changing her diaper and she started pooping so I grabbed my son's old potty and stuck her on it. She didn't mind, and I didn't have to clean a poopy cloth diaper.

We're supposed to spend the day at a theme park today for their Halloween events, but DH decided we should go after nap instead. So now all the boys are napping and I'm about to go wake DH up so he can take a shower so we're ready to go when LBB gets up.
I ate so much junk food at work today...and it was amazing. Fritos, doritos, cooler Ranch doritos, brownies and coke zero. So amazing. After work I fed T then took a 30 min bubble bath with a glass of wine. Just relaxing tonight.
Tomorrow no plans other than football and skyping with all the grandparents.
Ps, I love wine and canvas nights!! I have like 8 different paintings from the past three years
I did all the yard work today! I trimmed the freaking bushes, mowed the grass, and had to bag everything. It took almost 3 hours and now I'm exhausted. But DH did the laundry and dishes since I did the outside work! Normally, I'd just do everything. One of my oldest friends is in town for the weekend and we're going out for CRABS!!! I'm such a Marylander and am so excited for old bay covered blue crabs. And beer. Hoping that O doesn't melt down. We're going out at 630 and he's usually in bed by 815 at the latest. He's napping now...crossing all my fingers. Tomorrow we're going to my aunt's for a family gathering. Again, it will end near bedtime. O does not like driving in a dark car when he's tired.
I spent most of my afternoon walking around Fall Diddley- a huge craft show by me. It was a beautiful Saturday and this place was crazy busy!! But it was fun to get out and look at different things. I'm so jealous of all the cute little girls things you can buy. The only things I saw for boys were overalls with decals sewn on to them (and as fast as he grows out of clothes I'm not paying $35 for a pair of baby overalls with a fire truck on them!!) I did get these cute bibs for my spit up monster:
Uncertain of my plans tonight since DH is going out with a friend. Tomorrow is going to meet with our real estate agent and then DH is going to work.
Well, now we know, no indoor volleyball games for us! (DH teaches high school, so we go to a few games of each sport each year.). It was so loud and by about the third time everyone started cheering and yelling, J just lost lost it. She seemed so scared! I felt bad! And then I tripped and almost fell hurrying her down from the stands so I could calm her down. Fortunately I caught my self. Not good. Guilty confession: I'm not glad she was scared, but I'm not sorry I have an excuse to say we can't go for a while... If that makes sense.
My H's aunt and uncle are visiting from Seattle and they're so much fun! My ILs came down today, too. Mil and I did our usual target run this afternoon and we all went out for a big meal. I want to take a nap in the worst way right now OR go get ice cream. Either or.

stinybean I was pretty buzzed off one beer last night, and I used to be quite an "accomplished" drinker prepreg, to put it nicely. I drank a lot lot, lol.
I dragged LO to Target today while SO and his son went to get haircuts. I only planned to grab a few essentials but she fell asleep the second we walked in the door so I grabbed an iced toasted graham latte from the starbucks and totally pushed my luck as far as I could shopping. This girl gave me a solid 2 hour nap, and I left with my essentials plus 2 new shirts, a sweater, a skirt, and 2 bras and I actually got to try them all on!!!
DH worked today and took E for a little while when he came home. I got to shower, shave, and not worry about a fussing baby. I feel renewed! The rest of the weekend we'll spend with DH's parents and grandparents. They love seeing E and it's always fun to show them the things he's learning how to do now.
H was watching Avengers: Age of Ultron and I brought LO downstairs after nursing her. He was all, "oh! She can't watch this! It might scare her and give her nightmares!" Really H? Pretty sure she has no idea what's going on on TV.
She did not nap much today and she's currently touched out and overtired. I had to tell mil it was time to put her down. LO likes to have her own space sometimes!
Omg, LO was happily swinging in her swing and mil had to pick her up to change her. No reason. She gets changed before bedtime and it wasn't bedtime. So of course LO starts spazzing because she was enjoying her quiet swing time and I just had to deal with a meltdown where she wouldn't even latch. Poor kid!
Does anyone else take a long time for their milk to let down while pumping? When I bf DS its like max 30 seconds but with the pump it can take over 5 minutes - normal?

Check to make sure all the attachments, tubing and membranes are tight. I've also found positioning on my actual boobs matter, and weirdly if my nips arent "excited" it takes a lot longer

Finally got J to sleep. 13 hours after he woke up, minus the hour and a half car nap while I drove around aimlessly.
We visited one of my aunts today. I am team "please hold my baby", and J is team "no one but mommy can hold me or I will scream like I am being hurt". And then he would be giggling 3 seconds after I would take him back.
I think he may be starting to teethe. Lots more drool, lots more blowing bubbles, sticking anything and everything into his mouth, lots of crying.
Pretty sure I asked H to throw a loaf of baby stuff in the washer last night. And wash bottles. He is gone all day today, and possibly part of tomorrow. So, I ended up washing the bottles and doing laundry, as well as his normal weekend chores. Hope he doesn't expect me to get that much done everyday.

Took a pregnancy test this morning because I've had odd cramping off and on the last couple of days. And all that talk about the mini pill taking a while to take effect really freaked me out. It was negative, but I'm taking another one in a couple of days to make sure!
The weird thing is, I was kind of excited. I'm nuts.

musicfrk2002, Yeah DB just started noticing that I'm a different person than everyone else like today. It's such a weird change! He gets wide eyed when I talk near him if I'm not holding him. And he studies other people for a really long time. He's not freaking out yet, but I can see it coming!

I usually start it flowing manually. It takes 2 seconds for me to get a let down by hand and then I switch to the pump.
Eta it also takes me a long time to get a let down if I start straight away with the pump, thats why I started doing it this way.

I'm changing pediatrician's. No matter what the reason, every time I call with a question or concern, come in. I had it today, she won't let me speak and talks over me, speaking a mile a minute. Going back to Gerber Gentle, for the the millionth time.
My sister referred to M as a baby having a "motor delay." Made me so mad! Just because he is gonna get PT for torticollis, and doesn't hold his head up perfectly yet, doesn't mean he has a motor delay. He'll be 4 months on June 19.
Are all your babies already holding their heads steady 100%? M is good most of the time but not 100% yet.
