C was up on and off all night. Now that he's feeling better I'm trying to go back to CIO, but I may have broke him when he was sick. I have a feeling this will take a little longer than it should. The wake ups wouldn't bother me if it was just once a night. I love my snuggle time (usually it's pretty easy to get him to go back down- staying down after I put him back in the crib is a different story) Not much in the books for today. Lots of coffee. Cleaning the kitchen and dining room and gathering everything else needed for our taxes. Our business taxes are due next week and I think my MIL is going to have a breakdown since we haven't gone over them yet. (Everything is a little confusing this year since we split the business from their business half way through the year. She do want want to turn theirs in until we turn ours in)
Morning ladies! This past week or so I reverted back to lurker. Since getting back from our trip B has been awful sick. Between doctors appointments and a trip to the hospital I think she is finally on the mend. I am running on very little sleep and lots of coffee. We have nothing on the agenda for today, just waiting for B to wake up so I can see how she is feeling. I applied for a new job this week. My Mat leave isn't over until the beginning of June but it was just too good of an opportunity. If I do get the job it will mean back to work early than expected but my fingers are crossed. Happy Wednesday ladies!

We're supposed to be getting the remnants of yalls storms today, so just a bunch of rain and maybe a few thunderstorms. I need to go grocery shopping but I'm not not taking A out in this mess so we may just keep scavenging from the pantry for a few more days.

I'm about to lose it here. No sleep. Baby won't stop screaming. Both my cats are throwing up all over my apt. My apt is a shit hole mess. And it's only 8 am.

Morning,
We have a poor poop timing situation over here. He goes every morning between 4-5am ( in addition to thoughout the day 1-2x). I chucked it up to more solids, but it's been going on for 3 weeks.
I changed him today and out him back down at 5 and he didn't fall back asleep til 6. Crying on and off for almost an hour. This kid just loves his mornings.
mrsmonogrammed, we're in the same boat - we're either going to have a blizzard today, or some rain. I'm just trying to get my brain functioning with my very large cup of coffee - we're also working through some sleep issues. Although, funny sleep story - last night DS fussed a little, so DH turned on the screen to the monitor, and then freaked out and said, "where's the baby?" Apparently he scootched himself all the way into a ball in the bottom corner of his crib that you can't see that well, but I thought it was funny that DH thought for a moment that he had somehow become a little escape artist and left his crib

DH and I had breakfast in bed this morning...it was just a little heated pan of frozen cinnamon bites, but it was yummy and really nice to spend a little time snuggling and relaxing in the morning. Usually we are all business (aka, if I can get ready in X amount of minutes, what's the last possible second I can wake up and still make it to work on time?)
We're have a random snow storm today but nobody can say if we'll get .5in or 5in. It should make my hour long commute home extra fun
You must be right on that weird edge of the storm!? I think I'm too far north for much of anything.
Yes, that's exactly where I am! And my job is about 45min away from my house so I'll basically be in and out of this weird storm all day....I'm prepared for whichever way it goes- I brought our traverse to work because it has automatic start and heated seats. So at least if it takes me 9 years to get home my butt will be nice and toasty;)
Hi mbjune13!! I was thinking I wanted to check in with you soon!! Good luck with the possible job offer!!
Love hoar frost too michyme123! With it being so mild and often foggy in the morning we've been getting it a lot more often too!
My parents are in Hawaii right now so took a trip out to the farm yesterday to check on things. My dad used to so not be a traveller and now he's texting me daily sounding as excited as a little kid lol. Yesterday I got a text saying 'there's an ice cream shop half a block away with over 100 flavours!' I'm happy for them, my dad has never been in the ocean and my mom hasn't been to Hawaii since she was quite a bit younger with her parents, it's been her dream to get back again.
Nothing too out of the ordinary today. Laundry this morning, walk this afternoon to pick up H and do grocery and library.
Good morning! Hoping the storms have cleared out so I can get to work without dealing with a mess. How did you make out 3dimesdown ?
How does this thread have 170 views 10 minutes after it was created (and no responses)?
We ended up right in between the 2 bands of bad weather, so all we got was some rain and wind. Pretty anti-climactic, but I'm not complaining. My dad works right outside of NOLA and had a tornado near his apartment and there were some reported tornadoes in the counties on either side of us in Mississippi/Alabama. The kejnumbers family came out unscathed though.
Trying the hair plop this morning. H was quite confused what was on my head.
A did the cutest darn thing yesterday. He was in his baby corral playing, and I was mixing him up a bottle and all of an sudden he got real quiet. When I went back into the living room he was sitting on the floor, staring up at the tv completely entranced. There was a pampers commercial on tv, and lots of babies. For clarification, he's the only one at daycare, so he doesn't see little kids or babies unless we go out.
Hi everyone. Relieved that it's more than half way through Wednesday! There is less time to go to the weekend than there has been since last weekend!
I am getting through the days on caffeine at the moment. I love tea but it doesn't have enough caffeine, so since I'm allergic to coffee I'm drinking more diet coke than I would ideally like to. I keep telling myself that it's just a season of life!
On a positive note, I did great with my eating yesterday. I told myself that I do not NEED to eat chocolate, as much as I wanted to. I'm hoping to keep that mantra up!
I need this mantra. I was just wondering if 9 a.m. was too early for a couple m & ms
Morning. LO has already fallen twice and given herself a tiny goose egg and my mom is driving me nuts. It's also supposed to storm here today, so I don't think LO and I will be doing much past Gymboree at noon.
On the plus side, H didn't have to leave until later, so I got to sleep in until 7:30! I mean, I was up with LO for over an hour and a half last night (3 wakeups where she nursed for over 30 minutes), so...

BH woke up early this morning so I had to bring him into the bathroom while I showered. At one point I turned and saw a little hand sneak past the curtain, grab a washcloth, and sneak back out.
I thought it was funny that DH thought for a moment that he had somehow become a little escape artist and left his crib
The Graveyard Book starts out with a baby doing this. DH and I both read the book and he told me "I could definitely see BH doing that."
Not sure what I was expecting when I googled this, but sounds kind of dark for a kids' book? It's won lots of awards though so I guess it must be good.
Clearly I am not hip to the children's book scene right now.

tiffbot, So cute! I hope they have a great vacation!
I met my goal weight today. It's been a long time coming and it was a really slow process... I've only lost 2 lbs since January. To celebrate I'm going to my favourite bakery this morning to gain it all back.
B has eaten so many blueberries this morning. Safe to say they're her favourite food so far. They make for pretty terrible diapers though.
ETA: budders you're my hero for resisting sweets. I'm going to follow your example, (now that the cheesecake is done that is)
I have been in this mental rut where I think that I need to have sweets to balance out fatigue, sleep deprivation, a shitty day, etc. The problem is that recently, everyday involves one or more of those feelings, and at the end of the day sweets are not making it better. In fact, the cumulation of those calories is making me feel gross and huge. I will still allow myself sweets occasionally if I'm really in the mood for something, or if we're out and I have the opportunity for a delicious treat, but I'm trying to break the cycle of thinking that I need it to make myself feel better.
So much this. But my brain does not do this logic well when it sees food. I need to get it tattooed on the back of my hands or something so when I reach for sweets it's like "NO DON'T DO IT REMEMBER WHAT BUDDERS SAID."
Glad you're OK 3dimesdown - was definitely thinking about you guys yesterday. Hoping you're well too, gilder40. Our Superintendent ended up cancelling our concert last night (probably because Gov. Bentley declared a state of emergency) in anticipation of the storms, and then we really didn't get anything but some heavy rain and wind. Stinks to have to try to reschedule, but I am thankful that everyone is OK and safe.
