LO was up at 6, too. H let me sleep until 7, when he brought her in to wake me up for the Santa breakfast we have at 9. LO wanted to nurse, so I'm trapped in bed while she nurses/naps. My other arm is asleep and my back kills, but she's so cozy!
Y'all. Tins is still asleep. She didn't wake up to nurse at all last night. The few times she did wake up, she was crying in her sleep, but she stopped when I turned on her Baby Einstein Aquarium soother musical box of magic thing. My boob kills right now. This is not the norm. She's usually up and bright eyed and bushy tailed at 5:45-6:00ish.

J woke up at 6am and didn't go back to sleep after nursing. I had to wrap him to get him to nap. We are driving 2.5 hrs today to go to J's great grandparents Christmas party. Fx that we have a smooth ride.

We also have a family Christmas party today. I do not want to get cleaned up and do my hair before noon on a Sunday. Love my family but prefer my typical lazy CBS Sunday Morning viewing/muffin making mornings. And the get together is making us miss football. Alas, time to be grateful and put on some red pants.

LO woke up at 5am, but I was all "hell nah" and brought her into bed with me. We slept until 7 and it was amazeballs. We've already been to the grocery store, next we have to retake her 6m pics- our photog hated the lighting from the first set, and then it's pedicures to relax before the short week:) ETA- pedicures for me and MIL, NOT Charlotte;)
It's 9am and DD and I are still chilling out in bed, H is up with DS who also slept in until about 8:30, and we have a few friends in the basement who ended up sleeping here last night. It's gonna be a chillllll day. But I'm so happy, it was amazing everyone surprised me, I had a couple suspicions a couple weeks ago but thought I was overthinking everything so let it go!
We were up at 6 too. I took advantage and went to the mall to finish up some last minute gifts that I hadn't purchased yet, and it was lovely to be at the mall before everybody else.
V is really sick again. He's got a terrible cough and his nose is constantly running, and he just looks terrible. I just feel so bad for him and I wish that we could just get him better for good. The pediatrician reassured us that kids in daycare get on average about 24 colds a year, which made me feel better that this is normal. I still feel terrible for the poor baby though for pretty much being sick the entire year.
Geez, that's twice a month!! Goodness. Tins is on her third cold since August. But each one has seemed to last about 2 weeks.
I have a few last things to get for Christmas today. Not looking forward to battling crowds. I'm trying to figure out the best places to go to avoid a plethora of people. O just went down for his first nap so I need to leave soon so I'm back in time to feed him.
The breakfast was nice but my mom was driving me crazy because she kept bugging them to find a toy for LO (all the paid kids got toys). LO was free because she doesn't eat and, uh, she's a baby & all the toys were for older kids. My mom wound up convincing them to give her a Betty boop stuffed doll that we'll be donating. It was so excessive.
Then LO projectile puked all over the place for the first time ever. It just kept coming. She fell asleep as soon as we put her in her car seat and of course I'm now convinced she's sick because she never falls asleep that quickly either. Shots can still effect them two days later, can't they?
I'm a morning person and don't mind 5-6 am wake ups. DB has been waking up between 8-9 am lately and it's really throwing me off. To make some of you hate me less, he only naps in my arms/being worn/latched to the boob, and we cosleep. We are together 24/7, no joke.
E is also tied to me like this, except he will stay awake until he gets the boob. I tried moving him to his PnP as usual last night but he woke up immediately. I gave up and let him sleep in our bed all night instead of just most of it, but he slept! budders, so sorry to hear V is sick again! I hope he feels better before all of the Christmas excitement gets started up for the week.
Ok I need to be an AW. My friends got us the first ornament for us last year and just gave us the second today. I'm in love. PDQ picture, I'm going to poof it later
Really frustrating morning. Trying to sort things out for Christmas without H's help. He has done nothing. Not one gift. Not any grocery shopping. No cleaning. He put the living room curtains up and has been congratulating himself about it all weekend. It's taken him 14 months to do this & he now believes he doesn't have to shit all else. Today i somehow have to fit 10 foldup chairs in a Mazda 3 with 3 ppl & a baby b/c H slept til 1045 instead of getting up at 930 to go pick them up on his way to work in his giant ass truck. I want to murder him. I also see ugly crying in my future.
I'd probably threaten to hang him with the damn curtains. Just no to all that.
budders, I'm so sorry he's sick. Sick babies are the pits!! We have some decongestant from the doctor that he told us to give her if she gets too congested. It seems to help a bit. That and a humidifier.
I forgot to reorder my mini pill and it's mail away prescription which means because of the holidays in won't be getting it anytime soon. Ooops! I finish the last one tonight.

We just got the chicco nextfit at target. And I think they mislabeled the price as $209 instead of $299, so we only paid $217 with tax. FFSC that I didn't correct the cashier??
I'm not broken because I don't want to save my kid's first lost tooth or locks of hair, am I? Mil bought me boxes for them and was horrified when I said I didn't plan on keeping them.
She recently gave H his teeth and hair and it creeped me the fuck out.

erbear, Also not planning to keep hair/teeth. I'm a thrower though- DNW clutter. DNW to store things for 20 years that my kid may or may not treasure. They can look in the damn photo album and see how their hair looked as a baby, that's enough.
Joolschweets, DH would definitely be getting an ugly cry / yelling combination from me. My DH pulls the same shit sometimes and it's just not cool.

I actually got DH to go grocery shopping yesterday so I don't have to go today. That's usually the big annoying things on Sundays. He whined, but he said it went well afterwards. I'm pretty sure we just created a new weekend routine!
Need to clean up today though, the house is a bit of a wreck. Of course DB is taking a long nap now so DH and I are camped out in front of our computers relaxing when we could be getting shit done... oh well.
