So, awhile back, h and I made a deal that if LO was up before three hours he'd get up and tend to her. I was getting really burnt out on nursing her all the time, not to mention tired. She's generally slept past three hours, so it hasn't been an issue.
Now LO wakes up at 1:30, a half hour before she's due. H was all, "what would you like me to do?" "I'll just turn on her aquarium." Uh...she can turn that thing on herself and it won't get her to sleep. So he goes in and I guess she's pulled herself to stand in her crib for the first time - so he rushes in our room with LO to tell me. LO sees/hears me, which triggers mass hysteria that H half heartedly attempts to soothe before coming back in our room and standing where she can see me (which makes her scream more). This is already her second wake up, ugh.
He's asleep again. If LO doesn't fall asleep, I can't leave her. I'm feeling murderous rage right now.

I know I shouldn't complain but sometimes oscar sleeps almost 14 hours at night! It happens when he wakes right before 6am so I nurse and put him back down. Then (like today) he sleeps until almost 8. His usual night is 6pm-6am.
Morning ladies. I think C is finally kicking this cold. He's still a little congested but nothing like last week and he actually has a productive cough. Not much planned for today. Mostly just house work. This place needs a good clean. This afternoon DH and I are picking up a treadmill and getting some firewood for next season. Maybe bundling C up and going for a short walk. Kristykristyleelee hope A feels better soon! @hazeldublin how's Ivy feeling? junch817 my cousin sells 31 products, I can PM you her info.

In hospital now, she stopped taking fluids and has really bad diarrhoea she's taking electrolytes in fluid in the waiting room so hoping she won't need a drip. Thanks for the well wishes ladies.
I was going to be Gymboree box sale this morning but H actually let me sleep in without bringing LO in to stare at me and cry, so I jumped on that opportunity. I'm going to be basically solo parenting her all week. I wish he'd let me go get groceries without her today, but I feel like that's probably pressing my luck as he's busy designing posters for contests and such. Meh.

@hazeldublin I hope your LO gets on the mend soon!
I'm stuck in nap jail watching Flea Market Flip and browsing FB. I just found an ad for dress yoga pants that look like slacks, if they weren't so damn expensive I'd buy them.
carolyngrace I will gladly take some your LO's sleep over here, I'm so jealous.
So sorry for your LO @hazeldublin! I hope she starts improving quickly so you can all go home soon. We're driving up to the IL's today to see some of DH's family that are visiting from Alaska. I'm getting hangry because I was busy running around getting everything ready so we could leave on time instead of having breakfast with DH and E. Then I had to do my makeup in the car on a very bumpy road, so I'm just feeling sloppy and hungry now. Sigh. At least I know I'll cheer up when we get there because they all love to see E and MIL is amazing at getting a great meal together for the family.

We were awake from 130 to 2 and 330 to 4, and H said J was up for the day at 7 and was an absolute monster. He fell asleep on me after a bottle, woke up an hour later, then went back to sleep in his crib within minutes and is still sleeping. Actually, just woke up as I typed yhat. Now he's playing with his bottle.
My friend that lives an hour and a half away wanted us to go visit her today. I spent 3.5 hours driving yesterday and have no desire to do so again today.
I think we are going to target though. Almost out of diapers, and I'm sure I can find a few other things we need.
Today has been lovely. I was singing at church in the morning, then there was a session for current and potential future musicians which was lots of fun. I have some fabulous pics of L to share on Wednesday. Then we went to the cake shop and I had a huge slab of hazelnut, chocolate and praline cake. And I was so busy talking to my friend who works behind the counter, and she was so busy playing with L, that she accidentally made me a spiced hot chocolate instead of the tea I asked for. Such a shame...
We've finished moving L into 9-12 month size clothes. In a bag of handmedowns I found a pair of fleece baby pyjamas with a zip. As you all know, I've never seen baby clothes with zips before. I've also never seen fleece pyjamas before for anyone of any size. I checked the label and they seem to be American :-)

Every month I have my cousins and their girlfriends over for dinner. I have on both my planner and the calendar that we decided on next Sunday for this month.
One of my cousins just texted asking what time they should be here tonight. hahahhahahahahahaha
Checked my email, and he definitely said the Sunday after Valentine's Day worked best for him. I don't know why I translated that to next weekend!
