I'll just start all the threads today since I'm up at 6 in the fucking morning. Clearly this becoming a morning person shit isn't working out. 90% sure "morning people" are faking that shit. I'm cranky af.
I have an eye appointment, too. I get contacts with my insurance and then buy $6 glasses from zenni optical online since I only wear my glasses at night.
LO had another 3 hour stretch in the pnp! I'm proud of us both for not giving in and getting the rock n play. She's sleeping in the newborn napper (flattened) with H's t-shirt stretched on it and she has her lovey, but it's a start!

Court is closed and DH has off work, but daycare and preschool are still open. So I got the ok from my boss to stay home. We'll teleconference At some point, but otherwise DH and I are going to a movie. We haven't been to the theater just the two of us in years!
Cole was up kicking and playing at 6. Now he's sitting in my lap pretending to be a dinosaur and screeching at me. Nothing big planned for today. It's DH's birthday but he's going to Chicago for a work trade show and then has to teach tonight. Guess we'll celebrate tomorrow. billyhorrible I can't remember the last time DH and I went to the movies. He hates going, I would love a date to the movies once in a while.

We were up at 6 also! But I have the early wake up routine down pat - First we nurse and cuddle for a bit. Then he's in the exersaucer for about a half hour while I chug coffee and go online. Then we sit on the porch and say "hello" to everything. (DNW it to get colder!) Finally we play in his room. At the first sign of fussing it's nap time! Usually by then I'm awake, but sometimes I can go back to bed.

Good for you! I hope you have a great time! We are getting family photos taken this morning, and then DH has to head down to the office. I think B and I are going to grab lunch with a few friends and then do a little bit of shopping. Then we'll head home for some quality time!

You girls are making me get in the mood to plan a date night with DH this weekend! We won't have much together time, he's working Friday (usually we're both off) and then I'm helping with Christmas Mini Sessions on Saturday with a close photographer friend (the one who takes all of LO's milestone pics and our family ones!) and DH works Sundays. I think so quality time is in order!

I'm super jealous of all you ladies that get to wake up at 6. My alarm goes off at 4:50...my kid sleeps longer than I get to.
We close our month Friday so I have a closing meeting to run in an hour but I'm in a good mood because DH and I had awesome makeup sex last night and we aren't moving back to CA...at least any time soon.

DHis considering applying for a new position at work. Upgrade in benefits, switch to salary, etc, but also working sundays. DNW to attend church solo with three kids every week, but told him it was his choice.
Owen has a cold. Last night was rough. But here I am, sitting topless and pumping at work. It's a half day for students today. I'm taking the afternoon off. I'll be giving in and getting a NoseFrieda. He was so congested last night and the snot sucker I have didn't do much. I'll also be getting saline and more Vicks inserts for his humidifier. Then taking a nap before I pick him up.
I only have to make it through 3 1/4 classes before I'm done. DH wanted me to just take the whole day off. I'm almost out of leave for the year because of maternity leave. Plus, if I took off I'd have O all day and wouldn't be able to sneak for a nap prior to getting him.

I would give my right arm for a nap, and I'm not even out of bed yet. I need to fold at least 3 loads of laundry today. DH works. Told him not to stay late because I am hosting a mtg here tomorrow and I need to clean.
DS1 told me yesterday that he hasn't had a doughnut in a really long time (weeks and weeks!) so maybe we'll go to the bakery today.

I feel you, girl. My alarm rings at 4:23am (because if its at a weird time I can't calculate *exactly* how minutes left of sleep I have should DD wake me up MOTN;))

I got my shit together enough to make and order a shutterfly album of my pregnancy and it's scheduled to be delivered today! Hoping for the bright orange box on my porch when I get home tonight!
I need a place to SQUEEEEEEEE!!! We just got word from our lawyer that they FINALLY have all of the items needed to file the petition for DW to adopt Amelia. They were waiting on some papers from the state of NJ that took 45 business days to get (GRRRRRRR NJ). Anyways, the paperwork is with the lawyer now and by next week we will hopefully have a courtdate scheduled so DW can officially adopt baby girl.

So my husband's grandfather was in the air force during WWII. His plane was shot down over Germany and he was held as a POW for 4 months.
In honor of Veterans day, DH's Aunt posted some pictures today of the Western Union Telegrams that MeeMaw received letting her know her son was missing in action and then another one letting her know he had been "returned to military control". It is so crazy to me that from Jan 18, 1945 until May 30, 1945, she had no clue about her son's fate.
(please don't quote as I will be poofing these pics)

So let me get this straight…my friend, who she and her husband are AMAZING people and AMAZING parents to their daughter are having a hell of a time trying to adopt and Farrah Abraham, back door teen mom, who has proven time and time again to be a terrible mother is able to adopt? Something is super fishy here.

Didn't you know she is "trying to turn her self around" There was one night DD was up at 2 am and I was feeding her while watching an episode of Botched on E. She was on it, and she told the doctors she wants top go to medical school.. So because of that she is now deemed "suitable" to adopt.
I hope your friend has the ability to adopt very soon. They are trying to provide an extremely selfless act and i hope it works out in their favor.

Kristykristyleelee I am so happy for you and DW!!! That is fantastic news and I'm literally crying tears of joy for you!! (Adoption makes me very emotional!)
Jules didn't sleep... At all. So I called the dr this morning because obviously something had to wrong, right? No dr says she is trying to train us and he could see her trying to do it to him in a short period of time. Good news is we have a very smart baby, bad news is in pretty sure she is smarter than us already! So dr wants us to CIO with no going in and soothing her. Just let her cry and scream... My neighbor is going to love that.

Our pediatrician told us that if baby cries for more than 3 hours we need to bring her in because babies this young don't cry like that, for that long, for nothing.
I might get a 2nd opinion if I were you, pghtruelove

This is the second pediatrian that told us this. The first was our old one so I didn't take it 100% serious because, well they sucked. This is our new pediatrian who came recommended by multiple people and has great reviews and ratings. I also checked with my foster mom(who is really involved in Pittsburgh medicine) to get some recomendations for me and he was the one most people recommended.
