DS skipped his 3am feeding! Wahoo! Sometimes I wish I had more non-baby things to contribute. DH & I saw the Intern yesterday (Robert de Niro & Anne Hathaway movie) and one of the storylines was the exhausted stay at home parent trying to connect with the working overtime parent with the exciting demanding dynamic job. Thankfully that's not us, but bits rang close to home.

Can I use Friday spam to dip my toes back in to the bmb life? It's been a long 7 months without you ladies. I took a break from all things tech to try to reign in the chaos that my life was 7 months ago.
DD and I are doing well. DH still has his bad days, but they are getting better. Anxiety is a bitch to be reckoned with.
I just wanted to say "Hi!" While I lurk around and great re-aquainted with the board format.
I'm so glad to see so many familiar faces still here.
So the mattress is definitely better even if the sleep was not. More sleep training! There's definitely teeth on the move and he's figuring out stepping. But it would be nice to have a night with less than 6 wakeups.
G apparently decided to help DH with the dishes last night and crawled up the stairs to the kitchen.
And in other news, on Sunday there's America's Cup series racing here. So we might be on a boat and watch.
Tonight is opening night for the Addams Family Musical that I'm playing in. Well, actually there's a school matinee this morning but I am hoarding my days for baby-related stuff. Husband's been on evening baby duty since I've had rehearsals every night this week; you'd think it would make him appreciate what I do on a weekly basis (full time job, plus come home and full time baby) when he's not home during the week, but I think he just gets stressed out and doesn't remember that he's not the only person in the world who has to do what he's doing. <--- Holy huge sentence, Batman!
Anyway, busy weekend for me but it's fun so I don't mind. Happy Friday!

Happy bday to your W! That sounds like fun! I lurv beer tastings.
Just packing today. DH is "WFH" today which is nice bc he's been having long days in his new job (trying to learn/fix things). So I feel like vacation officially starts today!
Ps: we went for Endless Shrimp at Red Lobster yesterday bc I've been wanting coconut shrimp & I still wanted to go out with just my little immediate family for my birthday. I ate alllll the shrimp!
Not much going on here today. I'm glad about that though because yesterday was crazy. We had music class at the library, then the dentist, then we had to take my moms dog to a clinic for her rabies shot. That was a nightmare. I've never been to a clinic before so I had no idea what to expect so I put DD in the ring sling like I do anytime we go anywhere else but with her and the dog and the crazy long line it was exhausting. Wish I would've brought the stroller in. Then we got the correct pieces for our furniture last night (they sent the wrong end pieces). But it looks so much better now! Happy Friday everyone!
DH picked up the baby early and is at home. I'd like to sneak out early too. We'll see if I can or not. I'm alone at work on Monday so probably best I don't. Bleh.

So much this. When I was sick Wednesday night and my husband had to do dinner, Little Man just cried and cried. He kept getting frustrated and I had to remind him to have patience. I do this everyday and I was asking him to do it one night. I think he gets discouraged when DS wants me over him.

Omg you just made my day. I have been thinking about you a ton and hoping things were going well.
I am glad the anxiety is more manageable. How is the house? the job? You? And of course the baby?
I have my first three periods free this morning. I need to use that time to clean my classroom and get sub plans ready for the week after next when I'm out for a conference and the baby's surgery. Am I using this time productively? I think you know the answer to that!
Happy Friday y'all! We have a busy weekend. We're celebrating birthdays for two of my close friends and their husbands on Saturday, I'm finally getting my hair done (also Saturday) and Sunday we're doing the last of our shopping and packing for our trip to Texas! This will be Little Man's first time on a plane, so may the odds be ever in our favor.

Not much happening here today; want to hit Costco while my mom can babysit before she heads back east. Hoping to possibly get some xmas stuff but trying not to spend $ right now. Tomorrow DH and I are headed to a friend's bday party while mom babysits. Get to wear my new boots!!
LO's had a cough for 4 weeks that he cant kick - thought I heard a wheeze on Wed. so I took him in and the Dr. said his lungs sounded good and the noise could just be swollen vocal chords. No fever, eating well and sleeping mostly fine so no need for breathing treatment or meds. Just have to ride it out, do saline, humidifier and steamy showers.

Morning all... (Just need to throw a little WHO DAT & GEAUX Saints love this morning-- Yeah, i know we are only 2-4.. but we beat Atlanta, and that is all that matters today).
DD was up from 12:45-1:55 last night. She must be teething again because that is the only times she gets this clingy at night. A bottle didn't help, motrin didn't help, teething tablets didn't help.. only sleeping with mama or dada did. But we got the king bed yesterday -- so that worked out well.
Let's hope tonight and tomorrow are better because I become a football widow again. (Geaux Tigers!)
