Morning. I am supposed to be at church right now to help with Celebration Sunday, but child gave me a pass... Sort of. I was up early and am ready to leave now it's just feed the child and dash to church to help the rest of the morning.
Tapatalk's update gave me my notifications back!! We're going to breakfast this morning for my BILs birthday and O is 8 months so we will take his pics today.
Yay, DH took care of DD so I could go to yoga. First time in MONTHS. It was great, but damn, I'm stiff. I need to stretch more often. On our way to visit DH's best friend who had their second baby about a month ago. Baby snuggles!
Getting ready for our final matinee this morning. I'm always sad when the show closes, but I will be happy to go to bed at a decent hour! We're heading into that dreaded 8-month wonder week, so I'm trying to tank up all the sleep I can now!
danitaec we have less than a week left of that WW and I will be glad to see it go!
Picking up LO and doing as little as humanly possible today. I just got home from a bachelorette party and while I wasn't drinking I got about as much sleep as I did the first week we brought DD home.
Wait wait wait. Which wonder week? We're in one now that is making contemplate starting a Valium habit. But now I see that another one starts end November. Why aren't any of these suckers actually just a week? And why can't we get more time off between them?
DH and I have been thinking up alternate names, besides his initial one. Right now I'm leaning towards "Your Baby Will Spend Much of the First Year Acting Like a Psychotic Asshole, With Occasional Breaks". It rolls off the tongue.
I love Babygirl, but the past two weeks have me suspecting that she's discovered cocaine.

Congratulations! And yay for DH getting daddy daughter time.
I have been really missing yoga lately. I have a DVD I love that I haven't seen in a year. My whole pregnancy I was religious about my yoga--went to a 90 min class every Saturday and did 30-60 mins two or three times a week. I was way stronger and more flexible at 10 months pregnant than I am 7 months postpartum.
We took DS to play on a swing near home, he loved it, so much giggling. He's doing better. I'm still meh. Today FIL and BIL are coming to visit for like 8 hours. No overnight stay. I'm only superficially cleaning the downstairs space. I picked up a cake so we can celebrate FIL turning 60.
TMI...
Aaaaaaunt Flooooooo! Man, I don't remember this affair being this intense before baby.

Maybe I'll look for that DVD today.
Me too. I've been like 6 times since I had the baby and only twice since I went back to work.
We are enjoying our day in AZ by having a lounging pool/football (watching outside) day. Sadly the Bears lost and I'm only 50/50 on my fantasy teams.
Last night was brutal with LO. The travel and time change took it's toll. She had very little nap and reached her breaking point at night. We fed her and laid her down and she rolled over and puked (I picked her up juuust before the "avalanche of puke" hit her chest). Sheet change and re-calming down and she was better. Then she was up twice during the night. Today is going better though. She took one really long nap so I think she'll be okay at night.
Norah slept for the first time on an air mattress in another room with her sister and did great. Only rolled off once and only woke up/dream called out once. I thought she'd be up and out of the room wandering around the house.
It was a long day with more loads of laundry than I can count. I had boxes and boxes of baby and kids clothes which all got wet in the little basement flood last night.
Hmmm some kind of shitty wonder week explains why LO has been waking at 5 and screaming for a bit. I've been hesitant to feed her and try to put her back down bc that might undo our night weaning progress. But she (and me) has on/off sleep until finally I just give in around 6:15.

Hey ladies. Stomach bug's got me down. +1 for being in better shape throughout my whole pregnancy than any point after. And wonder week is so misleading. It's not a week. Or maybe there's a week of wonder between each one when your kid has all these new skills that you can now notice as you come out of the brain fog you've been in for the last 3 weeks.

Thanks for asking aggiebug we are MSU FANS so the ending was good for us! I think that watching everyone reaction to the ending was more fun than watching the actual play. DS did awesome, until the ride home (just like lilyelayne said!). He was super good at the larty, even took a nap at one point, I changed him into jammies before we left and was hoping he'd fall asleep and nope, he cried the whole 25 mins home (glad it wasn't a longer drive!). The only thing that would calm him down was singing the ABCs, (not sure why but lately that's what has been soothing him ) so DH and I were singing the ABCs pretty much the whole ride, an interesting thing to hear sure. At one point DH was making up his own words to th tune- that was pretty funny. Once we got home DS zonked out so it was short lived.
I hogged the TV yesterday to watch the Royals (DH was not thrilled, as he is a huge college football fan and there were several big games yesterday. But? My team is actually going to finally win a World Series this year*! Priorities.) He was furious that he missed the huge finish to the MSU game. And confused when I said, "Oh! greenpony33 must be STOKED!"
Day One of flying solo is in the bag. Babygirl's head is entirely filled with snot, but I think she might actually sleep tonight. I made some BLW foods to send to daycare (broccoli fritters and strawberry muffins). We'll see how that works out. They are down for whatever--last week I sent roasted sweet potato spears and steamed veggies and got no complaints. Might get around to making some mini quiches, as well. I'm hoping if I can up her protein intake during the day she will stop waking me up all night long.
*Sorry, @holachica, although if for some reason we don't go all the way, I'll put my weight behind the Cubbies.
Oh, also? I decided that I need to stop my Starbucking (because broke and fat), but am kinda in love with the spinach feta wrap. So I'm doing a DIY that's allegedly freezable. And then I am going to bed.
