DD slept terribly last night and is currently nursing and sleeping. We have a urology appointment this morning right when she would take her morning nap so today is going to be special.
LO slept from 7:30-4! She wouldn't let me put her back in her crib until 5:20, though.
I still feel icky, but she appears to be doing better with her cold. We have her 9 month appointment this morning, so she'll get checked out there to be sure!
Ugh...what an awful night. S woke up to eat at 3:30 and thankfully went back down easily. As soon as I got myself back in bed, DS came in and said he had to go to the bathroom. While we were in there, I noticed he was wheezing, so I gave him a breathing treatment and then sat up with him for a bit to make sure the meds kicked in. Got him back in bed and myself in bed by 4:45 and then H started snoring. Instead of getting broken sleep (or no sleep and getting mad) I just got up and got in the shower.
Positives, H is doing drop off, I'm going to go vote in our primary and get the biggest cup of coffee I can find. Also got the dishwasher running, S's bottles made for the day, switched over laundry to the dryer and brought ds's laundry up to fold.
TL;DR: my family is torturing me by sleep deprivation and I've decided to be productive this morning instead of crabby.

Add me to the crappy sleep club. I really hope it's just teething, but I think A's getting another cold too.
The realtor wants us to put a selling bonus on the house to get more traffic so hopefully we'll have some good news soon. I'm so ready to leave and make a new start. I feel like we just kind of stuck in an in between place right now.
I just started digging through my pictures for the week to upload them for HDBD. Then I realized it's Tuesday...
I had it in my head all day yesterday that it was Tuesday, and today I'm operating as though it's Wednesday. Even H asked me this morning if it was Wednesday or Thursday.
Also I need to go vote for not Trump today and I can't decide because everyone is so extreme. But I have to vote because I can't let Ohio fall to Trump too.
Morning, and sorry for everyone with rough nights Ours was mediocre, but I'm not going to complain.
DS is nine months old today, and it's our in/out day, which is making me abnormally nostalgic and sentimental. Other than that, I'm pretty boring today.

DD is 9 months old today! She totally did NOT want to cooperate for pictures this morning but I managed to grab a few good ones. But not before getting this gem: *POOF*. LOL
::passes coffee to all the mommas in need this morning::
Grocery shopping and a Target run are on our agenda today. Tomorrow is picture day at DC so I'll be trying to figure out her outfit, which may require a shopping trip. Maybe. Probably.Definitely.
mrsmonogrammed, I love angry baby pictures. I take them routinely and send them to H on my Fridays off so he can be super jealous of what he's missing
Ha, she was mad because I kept moving her back to her "spot" and she wanted to be moving! DH tried to come in her room and I made him leave because she just kept trying to escape to him
Happy Tuesday. This morning, DD walked into our bedroom while we were getting ready, clothes in hand and stripped down to her underpants. She NEVER does this, so I was pretty confused. She's been sleeping in underwear without accidents for maybe 2 weeks now, so I asked her to come closer so I could feel to see if she was wet. She wasn't. I asked her why she got undressed and was all ready to go, and she happily shrieked "I just did!" As my mommy brain slowly started waking up, I realized she was wearing a different pair of underwear than we put on last night after her shower. I left my bathroom and yep, mommy knows best - soaking wet sheets and a pee trickle on her carpet. I walked back in my room and said "yeah, she peed" and she lost it. Bawling and gagging from crying and coughing so much. I told her we weren't mad at her, but she couldn't keep that from us; that I didn't want her to be afraid to tell us something like that and it was ok to have an accident. I think part of her was being somewhat sneaky, but I really just believe she didn't want to disappoint us. Ahhhh. Kids. Yayyyyy Tuesday.

Sleep was better last night than Sunday night, but we were still up twice. It's storming like crazy this morning, so that's fun. I have to work on my day off... yay? And I'm meeting up with my mom this evening for wedding dress shopping and dinner. With A. Please wish me all the luck that he is patient, and sorta behaves.
Also I need to go vote for not Trump today and I can't decide because everyone is so extreme. But I have to vote because I can't let Ohio fall to Trump too.
It looks like Kaisch is predicted to possibly win Ohio? I doubt he will be the Republican nominee but that would still be fewer delegates for Trump.

DD had a few incidents like that too, like she was ashamed and embarrassed. But it was few and far between enough and she hasn't had an accident for quite a while now. Congrats for the overall potty training success

Zara baby has the cutest baby girl clothes right now. Hope you find a nice outfit!
Feels like it should be at least Wednesday over here too. W's first tooth cut through yesterday and he is kind of a mess. It's going to be 80 degrees here and H is doing daycare pickup so I'm counting down to going for a run after work.
Yay! That must be awesome to finally see a tooth. I think it'll feel like a holiday once M gets his first!
Ugh. So as if I don't have enough to do, the brakes on our new truck aren't working so I have to make calls and get it into a Ford dealership to get it fixed. Hopefully it's under warranty. And my phone keeps not working. I have an iphone, and 3 times already this morning I have had to restart my phone because the screen isn't responding to it when I touch it. If I press the button, that works. ANNOY.
Sorry for all of the whining between yesterday and today.
I'm sorry When it rains, it pours..FX things go smoothly and April rolls around before you know it.
billyhorrible, did I miss why you're also looking forward to April? I was looking forward to DST time for 3 months, but after 2 days, M's back to his usual routine. lol.
I had a ton of people I wanted to respond to and now my Ipad won't let me tag anyone so hugs to all the moms who need sleep, all the sick babies and everyone who thought today was Wednesday or Thursday!

Kristykristyleelee, probably not, I just haven't mentioned it on here. Technically, we are married- we had a courthouse ceremony last fall with just our parents and H's sisters in attendance. We're having a ceremony and reception at the end of May so the rest of our families can celebrate with us. We're having the ceremony in a really pretty wooded park in our town, and the reception in a recently renovated historic building (that seriously looks like something off of pinterest.)

Poor V budders. At least he's home with your MIL so he can rest and play. Hope things start looking up soon.
Just got M's first bday outfit, but still can't decide if we should do it in a restaurant or not. I kinda just want to dress him up in it and AW. But, I don't want to stress him out either if he'll be crying the whole time. I'm hoping in 3 months his stranger danger will pass??

J's on a mission...to get the alarm clock. He's no longer allowed on our bed.
He has now gone from laying to sitting twice. I suppose I will need to lower the crib eventually, but I'm afraid if I lower it before he sits up consistently I won't be able to reach him (only 5' tall)
I think we are going to head to the library for story time this morning, then maybe a trip to BRU for a few things.
I really hope tonight is better at work. Most nights are fairly smooth...and then there has been this past week. Ugh. Only a couple more weeks until vacation though...I think I can I think I can...
DS is telling me lately he's 'awake' at nap times now. I'm getting some great pictures of him 'not tired' in the last couple weeks.
Solid lollipop hold and sitting up [
Poof ]
This was just yesterday, after a solid two minutes of sitting up and his head bobbing (I know it was least that long because I took a 40 second video lol)
