It's nearly lunchtime for us so some of the rest of you must be awake!
Last night I re-discovered that insomnia while the baby's sleeping is a bad joke.
This afternoon I have another hospital appointment. This one feels like a waste of time but if I don't go they'll just reschedule it. At least it's not the endoscopy yet. That's the one I'm really dreading.
L is finding it a bit hard to adjust to the time change. Since most of you did it two weeks ago, have you adjusted by now?
Good morning! I've been really MIA these past couple of weeks! We're going to be going grocery shopping today and hopefully it's nice enough for a walk.
purple I hate when I can't fall asleep and DD is sleeping. That's the worst. The time change was a little trying at first, but she adjusted fine in about a week! I hope L gets it all sorted out as well!
I had an endoscopy before, purple. It's not so bad. I actually need another one, but I can't swing the co-pay cost.
We're going to mom's group this afternoon because one of my mom friends has off and is going! I'm excited to see her and her son! We have a few other errands to run before/after as well. I need to get some 50% off Easter goodies!

purple, I've had an endoscopy done before and it's not bad at all! They put you to sleep and then you wake up feeling like you had a nice restful nap. No pain afterwards either. Good luck today at the doctor.
budders, hope the day goes by quick and smoothly for you.
M cried a lot last night and was up by 4:45ish. I think teeth although the bottom two finally came through last week. And my Keurig is broken so waiting to get off the train to buy a large cup of coffee.
Good morning! I was not on social media at all this weekend - it was kind of a nice break. We had a whirlwind weekend, visiting lots of family, and oh yeah... building a house! We put a deposit down on an amazing home yesterday. I'm so excited, and a lot scared. Also feeling insane for moving with what will be a one-year old, but still... mostly excited! We're building, so at least we've got about six months to sell our current house and pack up our entire life! purple, good luck at the doctor today! The time change threw us off for a couple days, but nothing too bad. He adjusted pretty quickly. budders, hope you feel better! holliberry28, hope you get your coffee soon

I'm at work and H is alone with the baby all day. And,he has to get ready to go to work at 5 when I get home. He's acting like its the end of the world when it's something I do every morning....
purple the time change was rough for us and it took a few weeks for A's bedtime to adjust but we're back to our normal schedule now.
carrots, yeah I would check in with him again. I would ask him if he has time for a discussion sometime today and ask him when he would be available, that way he has time to mentally prepare himself for it. I can almost guarantee he will know the reason for the discussion.
DD is having a sleepover tonight at MIL/FIL's house so she can go to Chuck E Cheese with her cousins tomorrow who are on Spring Break. I know it is still 12 hours away but I am a little nervous about the whole thing. The last time the cousins (not including DD) slept over at MIL/FIL's house they did not go to bed until 1am and DD is hard to get settled at night as it is.

Good morning! I'm already ready for it to be Saturday. I drove straight from the airport to a full day of work yesterday. My boss has a new project he's obsessed with, so things are hairier than I was expecting.
DH called me in last night as he was getting BH ready for bed. He swore up and down that BB said his first word - gentle. Of course, when I came in, he was back to normal baby babbling. I'd like to think that the kid is a genius messing with his dad, but it's more likely DH needs more sleep too.

A finally said dada yesterday. My DH is over the moon about it. I guess we're no longer all "Bob."
Rough night of sleep with multiple wake-ups last night. I blame teething that I can't see and daycare giving him a third nap again. We really hit a good point this weekend (he didn't go to normal daycare for a few days) with him taking 2 naps during the day and sleeping better at night. So, I'm gonna have to go with some tough love to convince them to not fight him for that 3rd nap that he doesn't need. Not particularly looking forward to it.
In non-baby news, I have an exciting day off planned. Addressing and mailing wedding invitations, grocery shopping, and laundry.
So my kid can sleep through the night but then he's convinced that waking up between 4&6 am means we're up for the day. Of course it's during spring break so any thoughts of sleeping in (until 7, maybe?) have been squashed. And we're pushing the crib hard but he's mad about it. I took the insert from the swing and put it in his crib on top of a rolled up towel so it's still like the swing. Maybe the 979th try is a charm?
billyhorrible- my first word was kitty. So it's possible. Today is library and play group. I'm thinking a walk this afternoon as well. I need to run into work for a little while and print some invoices out (hopefully no longer than 15 minutes.) C decided he was ready for the day around 6:20- which will make library and play group interesting because he'll be ready for a nap by then.
State testing for my students today. Yay. At least I'm guaranteed a small break to pump, which is why I'm checking in now, from the supply closet where they put me. At least there are treats...
It looks like E has a cold. Last night he woke up a lot, coughing and crying. He would nurse a little but he seemed too stuffed up to be comforted much by it. This morning he has a runny nose and low fever, poor guy. It's supposed to get into the low 60's today, so I am hoping a little walk in the fresh air and sun will help him feel better. Is it just me, or does it feel like it should already be later in the week? Today would make a good Thursday at the very least, imo.

Husband is working from home today because one of his students (he works at a college) is convinced he is part of a stalker/serial killer syndicate on campus (she is not well). So for his safety his boss said he could work from home today, and they will see what they find out today and then decide from there. So crazy!
On a positive note, I got a double tall latte from Starbucks this morning, and since they put it in my own cup, it's more like a grande. Haha, it's the little things.
I'll admit to having some overwhelming, tired, ready for a break mom feelings the last couple weeks, between family stomach virus, DD cutting 3 molars, and the weather all cooping us inside more than we are used to-we were starting to get at each other. But ever since coming home from the IL's yesterday where we were able to spend a bunch of time off routine, me not alone, lots of outside time, it was a huge help to clear minds and start fresh. DS was aMAZING yesterday and we were really able to communicate and help each other and it was just a good reminder of everything we are doing right again.
Anyway, all that to say, H is on break, the boys are currentl out cleaning our mudroom, DS slept until 8:30 this morning (whaa!), DD is down for her nap, it's already above freezing and supposed to go up dramatically today, I am just really looking forward to the casual day at home and spend a bunch more time outside!

630 am came way too early today, but that's much better than the 430 am we saw yesterday.
I thought for sure J would fall back asleep after bottle #2 at 845...nope. I came out of the bathroom to where I left him, to find an empty bottle and he was nowhere in sight. It's more fun to play under the kitchen table, apparently. We ended up going to storytime at the library, where he wore himself out crawling all over. Drove around for a little bit to get him to fall asleep and so I could get coffee, and now he's laying in his crib babbling away. He only slept for half an hour, so I'm hoping he goes back down for a little bit.
Add me to the "wishing it was thursday instead of tuesday" club

Morning ladies!
C must be going through a huge growth spurt. She took a 6 hour nap at daycare yesterday. I was so afraid of what it would do to her sleep. I pushed bedtime back an hour and she was pretty easy to put down, quick to fall asleep and then she STTN. I so needed that rest too.
I talked to the head of day care yesterday and this morning she agreed to cancel our late fee from last month, she checked the log book and realized that indeed, C first day in March was March 7, the day I gave my check.
I also did some serious online therapy shopping yesterday night, I was bold. I bought a jumpsuit and a romper and other more classic things for me. I really hope my weird body can pull them off because they are so cute ! Hoping everyone 'not Thursday yet' is going well.
Yeah, super weird and scary. Hopefully they will find out some more about this today.
We buried our dog yesterday. I don't know if that's weird, but we said a couple of nice words and I plan to buy some flowers to put over the spot. It was so sad to see her lifeless and know that she died alone. It just feels so weird that there were no signs that she was sick or weak or anything. Poor girl.
In other news, it's my mom's birthday today. I had donuts waiting for her in the kitchen this morning and we're taking her out to dinner tonight.
I finished filing our taxes last night and we're getting a sizable return so I want to start moving forward with landscaping plans. I also want a roomba and a new camera lens. I've been shopping way too much lately though!

Grandma and grandpa bolght J a bike trailer. We had to pick it up, and the store is only 3 or 4 blocks away, so I thought we would take advantage of the nice weather and walk there. Good thing I threw the carrier underneath the stroller, because I didn't think of how on earth I was going to get the trailer home.

LBB has been working for weeks to learn the lyrics to Oom Pah Pah (from Oliver!). Last night when I went in to kiss him goodnight, he sang me the whole thing. When I told him how proud I was of him that he had worked and practiced, I could feel him beaming, even though I couldn't see him in the dark.
Checking in late today since work had been kicking my ass lately. I just can't keep up with the emails. Please oh please can it be Thursday? @jemomma lol to your son making little old ladies uncomfortable!
