C was up again around 1:40. Thanks for keeping me entertained with the drinking thread. Not a whole lot planned for today. Hanging out at home this morning and into work this afternoon so I can get the new laptop all set up. I can officially do 75% of my work at home now. We'll hang out in town at the in-laws after I'm done since we have dinner with them every Friday. Pretty boring day, but after my busy day yesterday I think C needs it.
I'm still not used to taking the pill apparently (just started month 3). I missed 2 days, oops. So I just took the Wed and Thurs one so tmrw I guess I will take Fri and Sat and then be good again. I hope that's right?!
I believe you can/should take the Friday one today as well. But I would plan on a backup form of protection until you start your new pack. I'm thinking DH and I will have to sit down this weekend and figure out exactly when we want to start trying for #2. I know I'm ready, just need to see what his thoughts are. I'd like to start in the next couple months if I can get him on board.
Laundry, laundry, laundry. I need to count LOs sleepers because I think I am low on this size. I thought we had oodles but I seem to be having todo laundry constantly...
Went to an event committee meeting last night and signed myself up for bar manager duty and MCing the whole thing. Which of my prairie girls want to come to an awesome party in a couple months?!?!!
Otherwise, it's Friday! H is on winter break next week! My kids slept in until a little after 7 today! Triple yay!
My kid is currently losing her mind over Daniel Tiger while standing at her activity center - so I keep hearing music from that mixed with Daniel. There's a lot going on lol.

I'm waiting to hear back from my sitter, who I thought was going to be here around now, cause I've got some crap to take care of today... I simply can not wait for this day to wrap itself up so I can watch my TGIT from last night!! Or pass out??? Decisions..

We are getting ready for the Chiro then heading to the children's museum today. I actually have a pretty happy baby today. She slept decently last night. Hoping we are getting back to two 6 hour stretches soon!
I finally used the mandolin someone bought us as a wedding gift & I'd forgotten we had. It's awesome. I'm lame.
Love the mandolin. Hate cleaning the mandolin.
BH has been eating tomatoes for close to 2 months, but sometime in the last week seems to have developed an allergy to them. His face gets red and splotchy after he eats them. Which is a shame, because he really enjoys tomatoes.
tiffbot What kind of awesome party? Today is a laundry and packing day. I'm feeling pretty crappy about leaving DH at home alone on a long weekend but I am excited about our trip. I feel like I have no time lately to catch up or participate here. I want to play but by the time I'm caught up I have nothing to contribute.
Oh, and I wish my H would decide what time he's coming home today. If it's early, we won't go to the children's museum, but if it's later, we will. Get it together, H!

Maybe we'll see you there! Hope your H lets you know soon so you don't waste your day!
WWJ15D: The funeral for my dad's friend is tomorrow. In the obit, it said that there would be a family lunch after, with a larger celebration of life in the spring, so I planned to have H stay home with V since I thought I would only be gone 2-3 hours.
My Dad just texted and said that we are actually invited to the family lunch after, which will be held at a restaurant near the church. Since I'll now be gone for 7-8 hours, I'm wondering if I should bring V, especially since I know people would like to see him at the lunch (and, more than anything, I don't want to try to find a time and place to pump during this whole thing). Would he be too disruptive at the service? Nobody will be upset with him making noise, but I want it to be about my dad's friend, not us. The church and restaurant are an hour away from my house, so too far to get him just for the second part.
What would you do?
I wouldn't bring him to the actual funeral. Would your H be able to hang out with him somewhere else until the family lunch afterwards?
I bring my kids to church pretty much every week and although LO is usually pretty quiet, he is constantly moving (wanting to stand up and jump around in our laps) and some people may find that distracting.
ETA: Not that the funeral is necessarily at a church. But even if it is not, I find some funeral homes have a similar feel.
Happy Friday! Went to a work dinner last night and somehow got stuck sitting next to one of our senior leaders. Great for the face time but I felt like I needed to be extra "on" all night long. Ended up being a fun event and the food was AMAZING! I'm really dragging today tho. Three glasses of wine, didn't get home until 11 and E has been up since 4am. I see a nap in my future today.
budders can your H go to the service and plan to take him out of the church into another area if he gets a little loud?
Or is there a place they can hang out during the funeral?
FWIW, Ive had to take my kids to a couple funerals and it's fine. I do try to avoid it if it's convenient for my parents to watch them or have one of us stay home with them, but sometimes that can't happen.

Yay for Friday! We have a long weekend here for Family Day. The girls were so excited to take their valentines to school this morning for the class parties. We made little packages with pencils and heart shaped erasers with the tags saying "you're just write for me!" So fun! I am now officially the president of our school PAC. I was the vice for the last six years and somehow think I have more time now with an extra kid.
budders can your H go to the service and plan to take him out of the church into another area if he gets a little loud?
+1 to this. Or, you just sit near the back and leave at any sign of impending baby loudness. We take DD to church every week and she's usually just fine.
+1 to this advice. I think it's a good compromise so you'll get to go and see V, too.

budders +1 for trying to find a place for V and H to hang during the service and if not try to sit in the back with him. Or maybe have H sit in the back with him and you can sit with your dad.

budders I agree that it might be best to have your H take V somewhere or do something during the actual funeral and have him join you later for lunch. If for no other reason than you don't want to be worrying the whole time if he is being disruptive.

So baby was up on and off for a little more than an hour last night, which is unusual. She did eat a decent amount of yogurt (maybe like 1-2oz) at dinner, do you think it could have upset her stomach? Or maybe it was just a one-off.
Think I'll use my morning to plan our vacation. H and I are going to Asheville in April (baby free). Anybody have any restaurant or activity recommendations?
The Elizabeth Leigh Inn bed and breakfast is gorgeous if you are looking for a place to stay. The breakfasts are amazing and plenty of space in the rooms for a baby cot. Definitely visit the Biltmore if you haven't done it before.

billyhorrible FWIW, DD1 used to have the same reaction to tomatoes/sauce. It wasn't an allergy but a sensitivity to the acid. Hopefully your LO doesn't have an allergy, especially if he loves them.
I woke up this morning and T had her entire leg stuck out of her pajamas between two of the buttons. And the hole it was sticking out was up near her hip. I'm not sure how she managed that one.
Pretty much +1 to what PP said budders. They could either join you for the service or browse a store or something until the lunch if you are concerned about V becoming disruptive. It's going to be super cold today, so we're staying home. I feel energetic and I hope I can put that to use before it wears off!

DD has had an explosion of new skills this week, she can go from laying to sitting to pulling herself up! And I started a new series in Netflix (my H lied and said it was only 8 episodes and I HAD to watch it before I started scandal) called Wentworth and I'm obsessed!! It's basically like an English version of OITNB but better. I'm almost at the end of season 2 and I started Monday ::embarrassed emoji::
