I am so screwed. Baby usually sleeps in the snugabunny RNP and naps in the snugabunny swing. I tried to transition her to the crib last night and she lasted not even 5 minutes. She was moving her head around looking for those soft bunny ears to nestle her face against! What am I going to do!? We're leaving for my parents house on Monday and they have neither a RNP nor a swing. She was also flailing her swaddled legs around and bringing them straight up in the air. All this after putting her down sound asleep.
I forsee no sleep while we're away over the next week. Help?
My girl loved rubbing her face on the rock and play in the bouncer. I found sheets at Pottery Barn kids that I swear helped her crib transition because they were still soft on her face! I also liked that it didn't feel is cool to the touch. www.potterybarnkids.com/m/products/mini-dot-chamois-crib-fitted-sheet/

Trying to clean the piles around my house but baby doesn't want me to ( and I'm kind of OK with that!) Hoping to get her out for a walk soon then going out to dinner with friends.

I've heard there is a thing called a snuggle nest that you can put in a crib or PNP that makes them feel cozy like the RNP or swing!
So I don't really know what I would consider myself politically... maybe independent... fiscally conservative, I don't know. All I know is that I don't like ANY politicians. They are all dumb liars. I don't know how anyone can support Trump.
I have been so nauseous and light headed since surgery. I'm sure it's from overdoing it and the anesthesia, etc. Or maybe a stomach bug. But it feels so much like first trimester pregnancy and it freaks me the hell out. I would just die. I don't know how people have kids back to back. They are some tough mamas! The thought alone makes me cry. I'm never having sex again, lol. At least until we are ready to try for #2. I'm sure DH will understand (insert sarcasm). :-p

My mom was telling me the other day that she wants to go to Europe next August but then she was worried about what if I got pregnant and was due then. I was like, "Mom....Mom."
Today seems like it's been so long already! I worked this morning. In about an hour we're heading to the other side of town for a 1st birthday party and then we're going to meet my friend's daughter who's just under a month old! I'm so excited for baby cuddles! Tonight will be pretty tame after it running around this afternoon. Now to keep M awake for the next hour so he'll sleep in the car.
Well this is going to be quick. My husband just backed my car into his brand new (like 4 months old) jeep. I was in the back seat with w who didn't even notice. We're all fine but both cars are jacked and my husband is pretty mad at himself. So that's pretty much what my day has been like. Eta: walt didn't even seem to notice when it happened but is there anything I should be watching for. Should I call the pediatrician?
All four of us are coming out the other side of a nasty 24 hour bug. The toddler is getting cabin fever so I sent her and H outside to play. Once Delilah is done eating, we're going to walk to the library.
packmomma that sucks! Our house sits below the road and we have a super steep driveway, so we have to back down into our garage. We park one of our cars in a pad right next to the garage and I'm always scared I'm going to hit the car!

aydee we used super soft sheets in DDs crib and we would also use a little heating pad to warm up the bed where we put her. It helped with the transition from warm arms to cooler bed.

On the way home from the study this am we saw a breast feeding cafe so we stopped in. I ended up meeting another mom with 2 kids just a bit older than each of mine. The older ones played and we chatted for about 1.5 hrs. We're meeting up again next Sat and I couldn't be more excited. Such a random morning; no Santa pics but still a good day
So we just got home from the birthday party. It was H's cousin's son's 1st birthday party. The invitation said 3 so we got there at 3. An hour and 45 minutes later when we were leaving the party was just getting started. Are you fucking kidding me! I was so pissed. I get things starting a little late but that's beyond acceptable.
We were supposed to go see a friend who also lives on that side of town but she was exhausted and had just gotten home. Her daughter turns 1 month on Wednesday. I told her we'll plan another time, I remember that level of tired.
We're back home and H is going to grill streaks for dinner! Wine in hand ready too enjoy my evening.
The thread to the Aug 16 moms is making me feel all the feels. Can't believe this time last year I was just living my life, NO idea I had a tiny little gummy bear inside of me.

Things that will scare the shit out of you: going grocery shopping and leaving G home with MH, only to come home and see police cars in front of the house.
It was just a pulled over car, but I still ran inside. SHEER TERROR.

We had Alexis naming today. It was a really nice event but I'm tired. I've been up since quarter to six. Buckeyes lost so that stinks. Tomorrow the Browns have a bye so at least I have the hubby all day. I need to get this laundry our away and tidy up the kitchen. I also start work on Monday. Not really looking forward to it.
My mom came over to babysit tonight so we could go out. Instead we ended using the baby free time to clean the house before Thanksgiving relatives and go to home depot for lights. Is it sad that when I hear babysitting I can think of a million other things besides a date? Haha
My hair stylist quit doing hair and I'm trying to find a new place. When the hell did 50 bucks for a freaking haircut become the norm?
My stylist I've been going to forever just moved to Hawaii. He worked at an expensive salon, but kept my rate the same as when I first met him and he was working at the mall (yes, I went to the mall to get my hair cut). If I want to use someone at the same salon, rates start at $95. For a trim! I'm so nervous to try someone new because 1. What if I hate them and 2. Can I afford it?
I've been MIA today cuz we've been running around. Donuts and Target this morning, and some of H's coworkers came over to meet A. Then USC game, and they lost which makes H grumpy. We were gonna road trip to Sonic tonight, but traffic looks bad (it's a 45 min drive in no traffic) so we're postponing. Not sure what we're gonna do for dinner instead.

kaeguri, unless you communicated with her and she specifically said she needed a week or so, I'd only give 24-48 hours before contacting her and letting her know you'll be going to the next interested party within [x time frame].
There's got to be a name for what I do on Facebook -- I scroll, scroll, scroll and when I see stupid shit, I rarely pause to read, comment, or even note which "friend" it was. Actually, I always have to go back and see who posted what before I comment, because some "friends" I just never engage with and don't want to comment on their wall, while others it's fine. I know the political leanings of just about every one of my friends, and I'm a fan of "it takes all kinds." That said, any time politics DOES appear on the news in our house, my comment to MH is ALWAYS "I can't believe these are our options. What is WRONG with this country??"
DD2 is still sick. I'm still sick. MH is now sick, and DD1 blew up a fever of 102 at naptime today. We're 4/4 with sickness in this house, and I can't STAND it. It could be worse, so I'm just trying to focus on keeping everyone comfortable and separate from one another. We're no longer going away for Thanksgiving. H thinks this means we're going to party and decorate and go out -- I'm like, with what money, with what energy, and who's going to watch the kids? I know I married a dreamer, but sometimes....
Binge watching season 2 of Fargo and praying no one wakes up.
