So I still babysit the baby that loves to scream when she's with me. This morning she screamed for 20 minutes going down for her nap. (Her moms call for me to let her cry to sleep). I finally sat down with my coffee and some laundry to fold, and she is back up after only 20 minutes! There is no way she is rested, as she usually takes an hour nap. So now she's going to be extra fussy and crazy the rest of the day. Awesome. My only solution on these days has been taking her and Oscar on long walks. Like two hours long. So I guess I will be getting her up and ready. And when Oscar wakes up we will head out!
I got about 3 hours of sleep last night. It was a weird night. M kept waking up because she is sick and I'm guessing she was just uncomfortable or stuffy. My H kept hacking all night long. Oh, and we had a friggin earthquake...in Kansas. What the what? So I am barely keeping my eyes open while I try to pretend I am not also sick. It should be a fun day.
Hope you are able to take a nap later today, and that no one was hurt in the earthquake!
I just realized LO's thanksgiving clothes are 6 months and won't fit her next week. Oh well. She can rock the baggy look!
I'm now wondering if her two and a half hour cryfest last night was due to tummy troubles - she pooped twice today. That's at least one poop each day this week and my kid usually is a once a week pooper. I don't know if her thrush or the medication caused the crying, either. Poor girl is all out of sorts.
I'm covering music this morning and we're watching a movie about Bach. It says it's "an enchanting film for the whole family". Not too sure about that one...

Thanks. No one was hurt. It actually originated in Oklahoma - 4.7 magnitude. We definitely felt it here though. It took me a few seconds to realize what it was. Not gonna lie, my first thought was "oh shit, someone is bombing us." Then I came to my senses and realized, no stupid, it's just an earthquake. lol.
Thank you for giving me a good laugh while I semi suffer through a conference call this morning!!

I almost placed a Carters order yesterday and then I got their black friday deal flyer in the mail today. Definitely going to wait and order then! 50% off everything plus other deals. YES. I need 12 - 18 (!!!!!) month clothes like woah.
C has started doing the crazy eye rubbing every time he nurses, its not a tired rub its some weird nurse association. I wouldnt care but he rubs so hard that they turn red and if i try to hold down or redirect his hands he screams and wont nurse. Weirdo.
Just went through the 6-9 month bin of clothes to wash for lo. I love when I get to open a new bin! So cute seeing all of ds1 old clothes that I forgot about. I love this bin because it's filled with lots of Christmas sleepers/onesies!
I love doing this too! My girls were born 1.5 months off so most everything still works for the size/season and I love getting to pull out favorite items and let E wear them now. Even my H likes seeing his favorites come back out... There are some things we kind of forgot about and it's like they're new again!

My LO was up every two hours last night, and even though I know she was t hungry, I'm comfort nursed her just to get her to go back to sleep quickly.
My husband has an awful cough. Last few nights he slept on the couch. Last night he decided to come to bed. He has a coughing fit so bad that he scared the baby (her crib is in our room because we only have a two bedroom place) and she started crying. It might shock you all to know that he was not the one to soothe the baby he scared with his stupid coughing. Grrrrrr.
Where the heck is everyone today? It's like you all have babies and jobs to take care of or something... I am desperately trying to stay awake until H gets home. I need some entertainment!
I'm working a different clinic today with my boss, so I don't feel like I can TCF freely today.

My husband has this bad habit of sneezing REALLY loudly. It has always kind of bugged me, and he did it yesterday and scared baby. Maybe now he will try to tone it down a bit...

I'm packing up our entire house since we are moving out this weekend so I don't have time to post. But I'm still lurking! I'm basically in moving hell!!!! It's a lesson for the future that we don't need this much crap everywhere.

Took the day off from work today just because and I'm enjoying spending the day like I'm back on maternity leave...napping together, a long walk in the stroller with the dog, lazy house cleaning.
I organize the school talent show, and the top 10 acts get to perform in school. The performance is today, and we made almost $3,000 in ticket sales!! So pumped for my department!!

My baby who used to sleep 7-9 hour stretches is killing me with wake ups every 2-3 hours. He has a nasty cold and we paid our second visit to the doc today now that he has been having coughing fits for over 2 weeks. Still nothing serious so I guess we will continue to function on no sleep. Sweating my ass off while DS has a swim lesson and wishing I could float in the pool. I also have the nasty cold. Yay winter.

So you watch my kid's double, then? Except replace 20 minutes with 10 :/
I've been making good headway on Christmas gift shopping lately! I ordered some stuff for the kids this morning. I keep saying I'll wait for sales coming up soon but I'm experiencing over excited clicky fingers.
Uh. LO ate 6.5 ounces while I was gone from 7:30-3:45. Total. She took a two hour nap in that span, but now I'm worried about her thrush impacting her appetite.
carrots & budders, how do you tell the difference between vomiting and spitting up?
When he spits up it's a small amount that comes out after he's eaten, or even in the middle of eating. When he vomits, it's similar to what would happen to us as adults, or young children. You can see him gagging in the back of his throat and then it comes out with force. There's usually two or three gags and vomits in that episode as well. Also, it's probably about a half a cup worth of liquid.

I dropped J off at daycare 6 hours early so I could drive to ohare and renew my airport badge. 75 miles each way. The person I needed to see wasn't in today. At least I still get paid time and mileage, but it still sucks I didn't get that time with J today.
This morning I shaved my legs for the 1st time since E was born... so probably the day before maybe... May 25th-ish.
Yup.
The worst part is that I'm actually kind of mad I wasted time shaving ankle to knee because I was going to wear a dress/skirt - which I did - but I wore tall boots.... duh. I could have just shaved my knees!

My curiosity would really love a before/ after picture haha
So this happened today while waiting to pick sister up from school - the vom ran from the back of my neck down my chest and pooled in my bra - thanks kid

My absence is totally excused, lol.
I spent the last 2 nights in a hotel 3 hrs away with my mom and all 3 kids so we could take turns attending mtgs for our annual statewide farm bureau mtg.
OMG. Never again. I really thought I was going to lose it. I made DD do schoolwork too (tears). DS1 pretty much whined the whole time, except for playing the hot tub one evening. AF arrifed the first morning before dawn, and I was only semi-prepared. T was up every 2 hrs the first night, but slept from 10:30-6am last night (wheee!). My mom even offered to make "for sale" shirts for the older two. Lots of compliments on their good behavior in public though, so yay for that.
DD has been back to biting me really bad when I'm feeding her. It's either out of curiousity or she's starting to hit her 6 month spurt and looking for more or she's got a touch of something and wanting more comfort because DS had a stomach bug last week into early this week. I don't know what's going on but her teeth have been out since 4 months but she broke through my skin tonight and I was bleeding and I finally broke down crying for like the first time in so long and I'm just wanting to give up breastfeeding now. My goal was at least 6 months (especially once she started biting) and we are 2 weeks away and its been building up and building up and I'm so much more emotional about this than I expected. I'm always pro feed the baby so I know it doesn't matter how I do it. It also gives me such a feeling of relief thinking about making a bottle right away, rather than feel her clamp down and pull when latching again. But it makes me so sad to think Im done. Maybe I should just make a bottle and see how it goes.
I'm going to try to keep plugging along tonight but twice today I've already said I'm making a bottle and I didnt. I'm either going to break next time or it's going to get better again, I don't know
Mom emotions are hard. I know there's a lot of long sentences that need more periods and commas and stuff, I just started typing and kept going.
