The Jcc is offering a free demo stroller workout today. So I'm going to workout in the first time in way too long. I'm excited. I'm also looking for a new car. I'm out of miles with my lease and someone actually wants to buy it from me. All I will be out is 200 which is way less than I would be if I wait to turn it in, I have 600 miles left and my lease isn't up until May, with homecare I do about 400 miles a week. Now the big question is what car to get. I'm looking at a Santa Fe or Tucson, or rav 4. Ideally I'd like a 3rd row but it doesn't look like that's in the budget.
I didn't realize they did that! Too bad I'm working today. Is this something they do regularly?
There's one next week to. I'll send you the info via fb.
This baby slept from midnight to 6 for the first time. I was so confused when I woke up and looked at the clock. I had to seriously consider whether daylight savings time might have happened and what month it was.

Today might be a lazy day. I started getting a headache after supper which turned into a migraine at 2 am. I took some medicine followed by hot shower. Hot shower usually helps me relax. I feel asleep and woke up at 4 when Ethan started grunting. Usually I give him a paci and he's fine. I decide to feed him because I'm worried about my supply. I did fall asleep again. My Fitbit lies when it says I slept over 5 hrs.
My migraine is gone but I'm exhausted plus I have a tummy ache. I've been to the bathroom a few times already and it's only 9am. I really want to make it to the gym today but I might skip it. But i really want to go. Ahhhhh!
I really want to take a nap Today but I won't have time. My car needs to go to the shop to take care of a recall. They didn't have the parts when it was there before.
Phew. The last few days have been crazy so I haven't been able to catch up. I started my new job monday (also my first day back to work in 8 weeks), thankfully my husband was off so LO didn't have to go to her babysitter. First day pumping at the new job was just awkward. I used the conference room and it dosent lock so I was stressed someone would barge in. I found out there is a showering room in the bathroom. It has a lock and an outlet and a bench. It looks like heaven to me. I'd take that over using people's offices or the conference room. Yesterday was the first day I had to get LO and myself ready and out the door. Apparently 2 1/2 hrs wasn't enough to prevent me from running around like a manic. I learned I need to prep more the night before. Hope all you ladies are having a great week!
Guys. For breakfast this morning I had some pumpkin pureé warmed up with cinnamon, a little brown sugar, pecans and this granola. OMG. SO. GOOD. It was like fall in my mouth.
Logan has been in his room since 6 weeks, but is still in the RnP. I really want to switch him to the crib, but he sleeps in the crib at Daycare and I am not impressed with his length of naps. He has a lot of them - maybe 4-5 a day, but they range from 20 min to 50 min. He could be totally different at home but now that I am back at work - I need my sleep.
Meeting invites have started to come in for the remainder of the week and next week - looks like Today is my last "I have nothing to do" day at work. damn. On the bright-side - I will finally be paid out my 1st Half Bonus on Friday! Since I was on leave when it was paid, they don't pay it until you return. This comes at a good time since just one week in the NICU (and insurance) can still rack up some out-of-pocket expenses we weren't expecting.
Happy Wednesday! J has a bad stuffed up nose and isn't really sleeping well As i mentioned MOTN, the NoseFrida is our best friend. H was sick all week, I hope it doesn't turn into that. So, no playgroup today, just hanging out at home. I'm collecting low carb recipes on Pinterest, watching Reign and drinking coffee. H has been on low-carb for over a week, and his blood sugar is ridiculously stable. I'm joining him once I eat up all of the carby food in the house, but I might just box it all up and donate it. Whats the point of packing in all the noodles and crackers and tortillas, etc. if I just have to take it all off again? I have way too much food hoarded.
My best friend since forever is coming to visit today! She lives in Portland Oregon and I'm in Florida. Before that I was in Connecticut, I haven't seen her since my wedding 3 years ago. I'm super excited!
Also Jake started cooing/babbling on Monday night! It. Is. So. Cute!
@piedpiper07 I laughed so hard at that when I read it on FB last night, and I was about to comment LOL to make sure you knew I lol'ed but then I got sidetracked. But seriously, LOL.
This sunning the cloth diapers to get out the stains is a miracle. However, it's annoying bc I have one patch of sunlight on my patio that is only there from 9-11 am and it keeps freaking moving so I have to go out every 15 minutes to move them a bit. Do you think people would think i'm crazy if I put them on my car dashboard?
Tonight is a huge consignment sale so yaaaay! Gonna stock up on winter clothes but I have no idea if I this child is still going to be in 9 month clothes by the time it gets cold here.

I would buy the next size up from what she is wearing now. It's "easier" if they are a little big. They will also probably last all season as well.
Last night I went to visit my neighbour's 4 day old baby. I can't believe how tiny she is! And she was 8lbs 12oz! Seeing her next to B makes me realize how much he has grown!
Off to do some crafting for another friends shower today! We're finally getting to a place where I can do things while B is awake. It's nice!

I will warn that the rav4 does not have a very deep back seat...so if you have car seats on both sides you can't recline as much as you may like. (I'm tall and riding in my husband's car is not super comfortable) No insight on the other2, but I drive a Hyundai and the quality and performance are pretty impressive.
What do people think about jogging with a non-jogging stroller. I have the Quinny Moodd and it's a very stable stroller with big wheels.. I would keep her in car seat and I basically jog slower than I walk.. What are our thoughts?
How tacky is it to ask for giftcards for Christmas? Asking for a friend.
I prefer gift cards. I try to get around the tacky part by saying "oh I love that store, but it's so hard to find stuff I like without trying it on/seeing it in person/just give me the Damn gift card so I don't end up with garbage I have to make time to return."
Also, unless I am willing to bet my life on it, I like giving them too. It's bad enough having to shop during the holidays, but then if you have to return something and then shop to replace it with something you actually want...just kill me.

That's good to know. I'm pretty short. I'm only 5'2 and my husband is pretty short and won't really be driving it.

As long as she stays stable without lots of head movement, go for it.

My jogging stroller doesn't work very well as a jogging stroller lol. It works great walking, but when I jog I have to lock the front wheel or it wobbles like crazy. But, when it's locked it doesn't steer for anything.
But, I say if you can do it safely then go for it!
One of my friends had her baby last week. That boy came out bigger than my 2 month old. He was 9lbs 11oz. Not sure if that means he's huge or Teagan's tiny.
I feel like everybody I know is having babies. Six of my friends have had a baby in the past year. BIL's wife is due in December and my brother's wife is due in January. And none of us are spring chickens. Haha. Never thought at this time in my life I'd be surrounded by so many little ones. I love it! T's gonna have so many playmates

This is my group of friends too! So many babies! Except B is the only boy out of like 6 or 7... Poor kid.
Feels like someone is shoving needles into my boobs. Wtf is that about? Is this vasospasms? I'm pumping again (I did it just an hour ago) because I can't think what else to do.
Could be. I alternate between feeling like needles, hot needles, and someone punching me repeatedly. I was told its sometimes referred to as "refilling pain". If you massage your chest wall and it feels better, its probably vasospasms.
