So glad it's Friday even though I have to work a few hours tomorrow. Tonight we're going to a Halloween event that has got air balloons. They'll be lit up at 8, I'm so excited! You can even do a tethered balloon ride!
I've never been around hot air balloons that's awesome.
No plans today except DH gets home early from school/work and had agreed to take LO off my hands for the afternoon so I can nap or do whatever.
Currently having LO sleep on my chest after being burped from his feeding and realized that this is probably one of my favorite parts of the day--he usually always falls back asleep and we can cuddle for a few mins before I put him back down in his rnp

I have a rehearsal dinner and a wedding tomorrow that I'm in. DH is going to be in charge of E all day and I'm so worried. I'm sure he'll do fine but I've never been away from her for more than an hour... I've pumped a bunch so he has breast milk but I'm scared she won't take it, even though we've given her test bottles and she's always been fine. I'm a nut job.

Happy Friday! J is getting MIGHTY particular these days. I kept telling myself that I wouldn't get him used to certain rituals so that he can't self sooth without them. Yeah, that didn't happen. He won't fall asleep on his own, I have to cuddle him to sleep with his blanket and paci a certain way, and now he's even starting to expect the lullaby channel I stream through Spotify on my phone. Also, I switched from Pampers to Huggies last night and he woke up with a dry diaper. Wth? I wonder if they feel weird to him? Too early, too much thinking.

So I weighed in for the DietBet. Very unhappy with the number. But I'm too tired to put in a workout DVD. I'm just completely exhausted all the time. Maybe I'll start going for a walk after work. I can wear A and not mess with the stroller, plus carrying her is carrying ten pounds extra.

@missava387 we like our bumbo-- but according to the pt I work with, they're not great for baby, I guess the way they have her sit isn't a proper alignment for sitting. We used ours regardless. There are seats she prefers more, this is one of them-- www.fisher-price.com/en_US/brands/babygear/products/Deluxe-Sit-Me-Up-Floor-Seat. They did just come out with a new bumbo that grows with you that looks pretty cool.
My sister is coming home to visit this weekend. She and my daughter have a really special relationship. I am just glad my sister felt up to coming home after her week. I think she just wants a good dose of family around her. We are all very close.
I have so much to do though today. I have to enter my grades for grade cards, get lesson plans done and oh the laundry. Plus I need to workou because a family get together means following the 21 day fix is going to be really hard.
ampaints, hot air balloons at night sound gorgeous!
@missava387, good luck at the consignment sale. I always found really nice stuff for my dd at one I go to. It was so easy to find new/almost new items bc the little ones grow so fast they don't have a chance to wear out the clothes.

This chair gets rave reviews from so many moms! I think this is the "fancier" version, the ones I remember are like a frog, lion or a crab maybe? 3 animals to choose from, same chair. I need to get J one.
By the way, when can they start using exersaucers?
I think usually around 6 months1- they should be sitting by themselves and their feet should touch the ground or close enough where you can put a pillow under so they can touch that.
Annoyance 1: The IT group in my agency decided to delete my email account because it was inactive for too long while I was on maternity leave. I couldn't even log into my computer let alone access email when I stared back this week. And that happened because IT took its time upgrading my computee while I was out so I couldn't have accessed my account on leave even if I wanted to.
Annoyance 2: 3 days after requesting that my account be reinstated, they finally did it. Or at least they said they did. Unfortunately, due to our office flood from 2 weeks ago, we were all working from home this week, which means my computer hasn't been docked into the agency system since they reinstated my account. I tried to log in last night from home and still couldn't. So I was told to come in today and dock my laptop to see if that fixes the problem, even though it's my normal work from home day.
Annoyance 3: I get here this morning and my docking station isn't set up in our temporary space. I'm not allowed to do it myself - IT has too. On top of that, I have no phone - not just that it isn't plugged in, but that I don't have one at all. And I saw them remove from my ild office on Tuesday when I came in to box up my stuff. So where the hell is it? Anyway, I'm also the only one here right now, so I'm basically just sitting here twiddling my thumbs and waiting for someone to show up so I can get this computer issue sorted out.
TL/DR : I had to come in to the office on my normal work from home day to fix my computer and my new space isn't set up for a computer. I may have come in for nothing.

The frog seat was so popular on my last bmb. That and the piano activity mat.
J can't really sit in his Bumbo yet, he always kinds of leans over because of his head control. Do others' use their Bumbo? When should they be holding their heads up?
I'm surprised to see so many babies already in it. My Ava doesn't seem anywhere close to holding her head up yet!

3 seconds before I dropped my giant phone directly on my kid's head from about 3 feet away in front of the daycare teachers. Mom of the year over here. I felt so bad.

My birthday is Sunday...here's hoping that I get a cake from my H.
Gotta get classes figured out for the spring semester and then call the guy I interviewed with yesterday and let him know my schedule. Maybe this means I got the job?!
C slept 6 hours and only took one boob, so I woke up super engorged on one side this morning. He ate, and then I still pumped 3 ounces off of it. Geez. But its in the fridge now and ready to test this little boy out on a bottle, since we haven't done that yet. Happy Friday!!
We returned our Bumbo, after trying it out with DS1. He had so much momentum going with his little body that he flipped himself over the first time he was in it (luckily on the carpet). And his thighs were almost too big for it at the time. I forget how old he was. Too young to sit up in his own, still.
They seem nice, but I've just never bought a Bumbo since.
I got DD2 up at 6am after 9 hours of sleeping to do a dream feed to hopefully avoid the orange pee/dehydration issue from yesterday. Glad I did because it's almost 8 and she's still asleep. I would be freaking out if I hadn't fed her. Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with myself. I've already done the 30-day shred, showered, had breakfast, done the dishes, and picked up around the house. I'm not used to this much "free" time!
Totally jealous!! Thought my morning was off to a good start, showered and ate breakfast. Even had a cup of hot tea. Little one has been on the boob for about an hour and doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon.
I've been at work for 7 minutes and I don't have a desk (the person who was temping for me is there), my "credentials are invaild" so I can't log into my computer and I spilled coffee on my shirt in a way that it makes it look like my boobs are leaking. FUCK.
joi922 your IT department sounds exactly like my last company! So frickin annoying!!
The doc told us to put B in his jumparoo with blankets wrapped around him, supervised, and for short periods of time. That was after telling us how unusually strong he is and me telling him I can't get anything done because he constantly likes to be standing.
This weekend is supposed to be nothing but rain. Our newsroom last night said 6-14" 14! Or it will be like last time and won't rain at all. Toss up. We're going through the third leap. I realized it yesterday when I couldn't put him down at all. At. All. He even screamed in the car, which he normally loves.
