N decided sleep wasn't a thing last night. I'm out of coffee creamer. I don't have any almond milk. I can't drink black coffee. Someone send help. Or coffee creamer.
First day back to work! Daycare drop off is a lot easier the 2nd time around and it was really cute to see DS1 tell DS2 that he was "just down the hall" and to "have a good day" haha
I have two projects lined up but one doesn't start until next week and the second the week after that - soooo not much going on this week at work. At least I can pump and get some things done around the house.

I had to check the calendar on my phone to find out what day it was...nobody had started the Monday thread yet and I wasn't sure if it was Sunday or Monday.
My mom is coming over to entertain the toddler so I can clean. Baby finally fell asleep in the swing. Hoping It lasts!

This is waaaayyyyyy too cute.
Any time Logan cries, B will go to him and rub his head and say "ohhh it's okay Logan, I'm here" ... hilarious and so cute. I love how much he loves his brother.
It's been a busy week/weekend. My BF returned to work last week and my family flew in for thanksgiving weekend. It was nice bc they all met DS for the first time and saw DD for the second or third time. The extra help after being alone with two kids was also very welcome and makes me really miss having family close.

I had to check too. Especially when my fil was in the kitchen when I got up. He's usually at work...

Finally found a new pediatrician in our new town. I called one office and they said they were accepting new patients but then she said she didn't have any openings for new patients until November. Well that won't work because baby has thrush and needs meds. So I called another one and thankfully they were able to get us an appointment tomorrow.
Also I feel super adult today because I paid our first electric bill.

Mucinex is guafestan or something like that. Pseudoepinephrine is NyQuil, I think.
htuzzi324 disregard. Some mucinex types have both.
I am home with both girls again today. Dd's,school is closed for Columbus day. So far we are taking it easy with no plans after a busy weekend. Dd is watching sesame Street and baby is napping in the swing so I am cleaning dd's room since it seems no matter how many bins and shelves we have nothing gets put away. We need to pick up the living room and vacuum. If that gets dome then we call today a win.
I had a terrible nightmare last night that I can't seem to shake. I won't share because it was really disturbing, but I woke up crying. Hopefully I'll forget about it soon. Hope everyone has a good monday!
*Somebody* smells like spit-up. I'm looking at you, baby. Or me. It's hard to tell. But we had a crappy night and now she's sleeping soundly on me, so I can't get up to do anything about it.

Not wanting to jinx anything, but E has sttn for the last 4 nights. Her 2 month appt & vaccinations are today so I'm nervous. I know she'll be fine but I don't want them to poke my poor baby with needles!
If she isn't feeling too bad, we're going to go to the state fair for an hour or two to eat some terribly unhealthy food!
htuzzi324 mucinex is fine, mucinex-d is not. I took mucinex 2 weeks ago with no ill effects on supply or anything else.
Heading to the medicine cabinet now. I'm pretty sure I have mucinex allergy and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have the stuff we aren't supposed to have in it.

The plain old mucinex is only the "g" word ingredient (too tired to try to spell) and isn't bad. That's the only thing my ped recommended for colds until DS was 6. No "cough" ingredients.

WWYD: Ok, I have two babies who have been napping in swings since 8:30 or so. Both are going to wake up soon, and both will be hungry. Do I wake one now to feed while the other is still napping or just take my chances on who wakes up first???
I've been hardly able to check in the last few days. I'm trying to get things ready for my return to work next week. DH is out of town at the end of the week so I have to get it all done early. Hope everyone has a good week!
For those of you who have nannies what are some interview questions I can't miss?
A is normally such a good sleeper at night, but last night kept waking herself up after being in the rnp for 5 minutes. Finally got her to stay asleep around midnight and she's been up twice since then. I was hoping she'd sleep longer cuz I have some work stuff to take care of this morning. I'm still on maternity leave, but there is drama going on at my workplace so am trying to help my boss out a little bit.

Eta. Where's my twin mommas? Lol @shainarinchelle
I'd take my chances on who wakes up first. Maybe prepare lunch for the big and wait it out. I wouldn't wake either tho.
Last night sucked sleep wise but I have gotten quite a bit done. I'm still mastering the poppins front carry (it ends up off center and he ends up too low) but it was stable so I got a bunch of things done around the house and did my physical therapy while W played on his mat. We may be stuck in the recliner the rest of the day because of his leap 2 constant feeding but at least we were productive this morning.

Depends. Are they both bottle fed? If so, you can wait until one wakes and then wake the other so they stay on similar schedules. You can bottle feed both at the same time by propping them each in a boppy and them sitting in front of them and holding a bottle in each hand.
It just occurred to me that you probably don't have 2 boppy pillows. If you don't, I would recommend investing in another if you're going to be watching a second baby on a regular basis. Having a second boppy was a necessity with my twins.
If you're breastfeeding,then definitely wake your baby first to nurse and then wake and feed the other baby just after.

@mamazbo try distracting yourself with something that calms you down. I can't watch scary movies without watching an episode of good eats after. For real. DH thinks I'm a weirdo, but it works.
If you want to talk to someone about it, you can message me. I'm pretty used to nightmares and if you think it will help get it out of your head, go for it.

E is unbelievably farty. It seems like she has a slow and steady stream of putputputputput coming out her bum, and I'm convinced it's the reason she can't get into a deep sleep during her naps. What gives.
