FINALLY Friday!!!

I missed you guys yesterday! Thursdays suck now that my after-school musical rehearsals have started. I didn't have time to sit let alone hang out with y'all. Today, however, is another story!

[dmorgendorffer]

So glad its Friday - I have a ridiculously busy day at work today, but Monday is a holiday and I am so looking forward to a three day weekend. I haven't yet decided if I want to keep DD home (her daycare is open Monday) and hang out with her or have a real day off to myself.

Morning!

My child has perfected being hangry, and apparently she is preparing for a growth spurt, I cannot feed her enough. Lol.

GeekBeagle have a fantastic trip and remember, there are very few things you can't buy if you forget them. It will be great.


danitaec hi! Yay for musicals, boo for long days


dmorgendorffer hmm that is tough choice. Can you pick LO up early? Maybe enjoy a lazy morning a nice quiet lunch and then spend the afternoon with the kiddo?

[danitaec]

dmorgendorffer, we're off on Monday, too, and I'll be spending part of it at school. I have to be out for a couple days at the end of the month, and my sub plans don't work like a "real" teacher's sub plans, so there is a lot to do.

There will also be hanging out with baby time, because my kid is pretty awesome.

[danitaec]

Also, my husband has decided that he is NOT comfortable with the baby spending the night with my parents when we go on our community band trip to Orlando at the end of February. Any tips for doing Universal Studios with a newly one-year old?

Yay for three day weekends! We're painting the master bedroom this weekend.

Haha, I keep saying we. DH is painting the master. I'm going shopping.

Little Man had a horrible diaper rash last night and a bit of a rash on his chest. He also had a low grade fever and was incredibly fussy. I think we're dealing with one of his top teeth coming in. He wont let us look in his mouth, but my husband caught a quick peek and said it looks like a tooth is breaking through. Hopefully it will hurry up and rear it's head so that we can be done with this.

[dmorgendorffer]

kaydee0402 what color are you painting it?

I could probably send her to daycare in the morning with DH, then go down and have lunch with him and pick her up after that. Since I work in the city I almost never go to the daycare and it would be nice to meet the newer teachers they have working there.

dmorgendorffer, dove gray.

badw0lf, eh, maybe ask the hostess. People are funny about that kind of stuff and you don't want to step on toes. I've been to showers where kids aren't invited and ones to where they are invited. But I always leave Little Man home with DH because it's free time for Mama!

[dmorgendorffer]

badw0lf I think it's fine to bring kids to a baby shower and there were definitely some at mine, but it might depend on the venue. If its at someones house then its probably ok, but if it is being held at some fancy venue than maybe not. I'd hope that no expectant mom would not want kids there because she would feel upstaged(although your son is pretty cute so its possible). I'd also consider the timing and his nap schedule to make sure you don't have a cranky baby which would not be fun for you either.

I was legit broody this morning. Sorry body, you'be got to wait another year.

So Wednesday we had an uninterrupted 9 hours of sleep. Last night, same amount of time with 3 wake ups, as predicted. Obviously he can do it, he just doesn't always want to.

I was actually able to do some quality push ups today and apparently yesterday lifted the second heaviest of all the women at the gym.

This weekend is pretty full. We're taking down the tree, finishing visa applications, getting our appointments for Wednesday, meeting up with a couple of friends for lunch, maybe buying some stuff for G's eventual room, starting the house buying process in earnest, and obviously things I'm forgetting.

WOOO Three day weekend. I think I'm getting sick, I really hope not.

Question: When invited to a baby shower, do I leave baby at home? There were two at my shower and I don't remember the last baby shower I was invited to.

I'd ask the hostess. My friends brought their babies to mine and I took my baby to another friend''s shower. The babies were popular. And good practice for the dad's to be.

[cougarette]

Yay Friday!

3 day weekend for me too, but I had to burn a PTO day for it. DS's daycare is closed, and I didn't want mil watching him. But they're coming over tonight while DH and I go to dinner. I guess an hour or so is better than all day. But they better put him in bed when I say.

It's supposed to be raining all day, so I hope it didn't flood too much downtown.

[cougarette]

badw0lf I've never thought to not bring a baby to a baby shower. A bridal shower I'd hesitate, but it seems like children would be welcome at a baby shower. Of course, every shower I've been to has been very causal, so there's that.

[cougarette]

Oh yeah, this morning DS leaned waaay back and I'm pretty sure I saw his top 2 teeth popping through. I tried to feel, but he immediately closed his mouth and wouldn't let me.

Busy weekend ahead of us here. We're headed to stay with my mom for the night today. Mom and I are taking our concealed carry class together bright and early tomorrow morning. Then S and I are staying with my dad on Saturday night, so that we can visit with my Mamaw on Sunday and still make it home at a reasonable hour. DH managed to get 3 days in a row off m-w, so we're sneaking away to his parents' cabin for a mini vacation. Fx S handles all of this driving and sleeping in weird places like a champ. I'm very doubtful, though. Odds are in going to have a very grouchy baby come Wednesday.

[dmorgendorffer]

kaydee0402 great color choice.

A few months after we bought our house DH and I were at happy hour on a Friday and decided that we should paint our master bedroom that weekend. We went from the bar straight to Home Depot and picked the colors and bought them (we also decided we should do an accent wall). As soon as we opened the paint and started putting on the walls the next day we realized we had made a horrible mistake, it was a hideously bright bluish teal color. Lesson learned, test your paint colors and do not pick colors when tipsy. All the walls in our master have since been repainted this nice soothing gray.

V is home with my brother today and I got a picture of V covered in berries. My brother may be slightly in over his head.

[kaydee0402]

dmorgendorffer, oh my gosh, that's hysterical. I'm glad it was an easy fix!

[taberbtb]

badw0lf I have taken B to the ones I was invited to and two friends brought their littles to mine. But as others mentioned I guess it depends on where it's held.

Not much happening around these parts today. I'm having all the feels with our first F15 birthday today. Never grow up LO's!!

That would be the source of my broodiness.

[GeekBeagle]

aggiebug Well, we made it with no major issues. Of all the crap I packed, I forgot the smallest thing I needed - my contacts case. The gift shop had one for $3.19 which was kind of annoying knowing how many free ones I have at home. Oh well, could have forgotten something worse!

Hi ladies, snuck in some love tits earlier, finally getting a chance to say hi. DS did great on the drive & I've loved catching up with my friend. We're getting up early tomorrow so we can drive to the hospital & see her baby & make it back before her shower. Her mom is going to keep DS so, uh, FX that goes well.

As for those trying to look at possible top teeth, the only way I can see DS's is to hold him in my lap and then dangle him upside down. He always laughs and I can see those gums!
