We fly to Houston tomorrow so obviously haven't packed a thing. How many diapers would you bring for 6 days? We normally just buy them wherever we go to save suitcase space, but the Canadian dollar is brutal right now so we are trying to save a bit of money.
Also feeling pretty guilty that we aren't bringing our 2 year old. She'll have way more fun with her grandparents, bur still.

My DD usually has about 8ish diaper changes/day, so I would being at least 60 to be on the safe side to have 10/day. And maybe a few more stuffed into the diaper bag as spare:)

I cut my kid's nails yesterday and I swear I just made them sharper. My chest looks like it's been mauled by a tiger-__- damn baby razor blade fingernails!
sugarkissed, H Town ( Houston) is my hometown! I'll be visiting home in a few weeks. Hope Yall have a good time and eat lots of Tex Mex and BBQ. Should be good weather.
Our pediatrician gave us a breathing treatment for B at his appointment yesterday, and I definitely think it's helping. He slept much better last night and does not sound near as congested/wheezy this morning. Here's to hopi g a few more days of this and we'll be back to normal. I miss my baby's sweet, smiley disposition! He has been a grump (who could blame him?) all week.
mrsmonogrammed what are you guys doing for Valentine's Day crafts? I'm wanting to make hearts with his foot prints and use those for valentines. I'd love to see what other people are doing!
Totally agree about clipping nails making them sharper. She's got little baby razor blades!
Morning! I have my workshop I'm facilitating at 10:30 and then we're buying car seats and baby gates this afternoon. FIL is putting up our top of the stairs gate that H was insisting wouldn't work. We'll see!
MIL won't leave LO alone and LO is getting annoyed, hah. She wants to crawl all over, but MIL keeps picking her up.
DH convinced me to hang out with him after bedtime last night. I had a lovely time with him but am missing that 2 more hours of sleep I'd usually have. I think I'm going to suck it up and get O and I dressed to go grocery shopping. I haven't really gone since before the blizzard 2 weeks ago. People kept dropping off food but all of that is gone.
We have a first birthday party to go to this afternoon. It should be fun!
I tried to tie dye shirts pink for the kids for a Valentine's Day activity this week. DS's shirt turned out ok, but DD's eventually just blended all together and now it's just a pink onesie lol. Oh well, I wanted to try a different idea for a craft to interest DS.
I have been battling the stomach flu for the last 2 days. I'm hoping today is better. DH is taking B to his moms for a few hours today so I can relax by myself. I have been alone the last 2 days because DH was working from 6 in the morning until at least 9 at night. This momma is worn out. Trying to contain a baby who wants to go everywhere is hard when all I can do is hang in the bathroom. Hope you ladies have a great weekend.

kemdupuis we're doing a version of that! I bought little 8x10 canvases (2 for $4) and 3 colors of paint. I'm going to do her feet as little hearts in the 3 colors going diagonally across the canvas. I can't find my inspiration picture, but I'll definitely post one when we finish ours:)

Picking up our new deep freezer today (ya for storing BM longer!) And heading to my aunt's for her annual Mardi Gras party. She transplanted up her after Hurricane Katrina. So every year she throws a party and has a King Cake from NO shipped up here.
We've been super lucky with the nails, she doesn't really scratch unless they are too long! Then I cut them and they don't bother me for another week. We're going grocery shopping today then going to BRU to grab somethings.
It's raining here in SWLA. Bummer. Makes for an icky Mardi Gras. There's a children's parade on Sunday, so I may take the little peanut and my step-daughter. Depends on the time and weather. There's also a rodeo and livestock show today, so we will probably go to that for a little while.
I need to baby-proof and really clean this weekend. It's my last break for a while, so I need to take full advantage!!
H is on a business trip until tomorrow. Looking forward to the super bowl party tomorrow. For today I am stuck with the kids all day and night by myself.
Thinking of taking them to the store to get DS more playdough. He is obsessed w playdough right now and pressing little cookie cutter shapes into them
Well, I was supposed to go eat brunch with girlfriends while DH watched V. But his work had other ideas. He had to go in this morning. Brunch cancelled! Typical this would happen on my one "day off." So, V and I are going to snuggle indoors since it's still icy and cold outside.

SO said I could nap. But I can either nap or go run my errands (grocery and BRU) I've been up since 4 it is very tempting but we NEED groceries. We have nothing to eat.

Morning all. Ive decided I don't want any nights of great sleep if they mean to be followed up by several tragically awful nights, and will settle for some kind of happy medium. This kid must be so tired?
Heading to the library today to print some documents I need to mail out, so figure we might as well hang there for awhile. Other than that, no plans. SOs sisters have a surprise bday party tonight that he somehow forgot about until yesterday, so we didn't have a chance to get a sitter, so he'll be going to that while I'll be home. Oh, and his friends are having a superbowl party tomorrow night that is dudes only? Lame. So again, I'll be home with baby. Eating my amazing appetizers by myself. I'm feeling some type of way, and he's gonna hear about it.

I'm a Houston girl too! Well, a transplant, but I've been here over 10 years.
We had swim lessons this morning, and my mom was so excited to go and watch him have fun in the water. Now I'm headed up to my parents' house to stay overnight tonight. My sister and her boyfriend are coming up, and we're all going to a local chowderfest and just hanging out. It should be a really nice night, except that I don't sleep well when I'm not at home. Also, it'll be V's first night in a PnP since November and I'm not sure how that's going to go.
Chowderfest sounds amazing. It's it a variety of chowders? How does it work? Do you just get to eat all the chowder?
We had a very successful first swim lesson last night. Jude loved the water. He was very serious about it though. It looked like he was concentrating really hard on the instructor's directions. Today there's a baby stuff sale and a Mardi Gras event in our town center park. Oh yeah...and I have a ton of grading that I brought home and probably won't touch.
