My mom called me hysterical this morning and said she couldn't come watch Owen. She's been awake and crying for almost 6 hours. So, I'm off today quite unexpectedly. I'm guessing that Owen and I will be going to her house at some point. Not exactly the start I wanted for the day but I'm excited for a day off.

Oh, your poor mum. It must be so hard for her at the moment.
I hope you enjoy the day off and that seeing you and Owen helps her a bit.
I'm relieved that it's Thursday. This is such an odd week in so many ways. H is off Mon-Wed next week and even though it's mostly because I have an endoscopy on Tuesday, I'm really looking forward to some extra family time, too.
I'm not sure what LO and I are doing today. I kind of want to stay home, but I also am tempted to take her to open gym time to let out this energy she has. Plus if she's going to fight a nap like I suspect, I can usually get her to nap in the car.
erbear, overall she's been okay. It's seemed like she's getting back to herself a little more every day. She has her moments but it's what I'd expect. She told me this morning that she thinks it's the move that is upsetting her which is completely understandable.
jessila, hugs for you and your mom. I'm glad that she's overall doing better, but bumps in the road are totally expected. Hope you're able to enjoy your unexpected day off with Owen!
I'm so happy that this week is almost over for me! Although yesterday did start going a lot better - we finally resolved some things with the new house that were stressful, and a supplier brought delicious cookies. There were some left over this morning, so I just had a cookie with my coffee to start the day. AND we're going to my mom's house for dinner, she's making this delicious creamy chicken thing. Things are looking up!
@erbesr84 did you have you cake yet? I get cake tomorrow
We've been spring cleaning the past week here and we have no clue what it is but it smells like something died in our apartment. It just came over night. I have a terrible feeling our cats killed something and hid it in a cabinet. So that's what I doing today yay. Also maybe going to story time/playtime at the library depending on how much search goes.
jessila hugs for you and your mom, thats a tough start to the day :/
We have most of our outside reno done so now I need to landscape/ clean up the random crap all over my backyard. Hopefully DS takes a good morning nap while DD is at school so I can work on it

Hugs jessila. I hope you can enjoy your day off and cheer your mom up a bit.
Not too much going on here. Work has been extra busy. We got M the baby play yard which takes up half our living room and he wants nothing to do with it. Need to by bumper pads for our wall unit shelves b/c he only crawls there and there's glass and sharp edges or toward his stroller.
Currently binging on Jessica Jones on Netflix this week. Really like the show.

I just scheduled C's 1 year pictures....where are those tiny babies we JUST brought home?! Although I will say that this morning she was just so damn cute and interactive and funny when she woke up that I'm really enjoying this "old baby" stage:)
It finally looks like it might be a nice day here, thankfully. and by "nice," I mean not overcast and raining all day long.
A is just killing me with all the things he's figuring out how to do lately. I'm not ready for him to be so big. For example, look what he did all by himself this morning. I was in the kitchen making coffee, and when I came back into the living room he had laid down and covered himself up with his blanket.
Oh! @hazeldublin, I had a dream about you last night. I babysat all three of your kids while you and your H went on vacation. I watched them at an airport and they were well behaved.

LBB has a baseball game today which I'm super excited about because it means I get to leave work early. My boss's favorite thing is to call me in for a meeting around 4:15 when I leave at 4:30, so leaving early avoids me rushing home like a mad woman
This age is fun, but I was looking back at my Instagram at her teeny baby pictures and just in awe. It feels like forever ago! Even if she's still teeny. I'm continually amazed by the things she can do for herself. Every day it's something new. I just feel really lucky to be her mom, you know?
It's funny, H and I were talking last night again about how much more we love this "older baby" stage compared to the newborn stage. DS is getting so big and interactive, and it's so fun to see him explore his independence and watch his personality develop. One thing I'm so NOT ready for - having a toddler! I told H that I'm slightly terrified of what's to come in just a few more months - as in, I finally feel like I can handle being mom to a "baby," not sure if I am up for the challenge of "toddler." I guess ready or not, it's coming though!

Hugs jessila. I can't imagine how tough it would be for both you and your mom. I imagine O's sweet face makes things so much brighter for her. erbear you're so right! I had a good cry yesterday over insta pics of LO. It seems like he was born yesterday and he's turning one? I feel completely blessed to have my third after we were on fence for so long. Snowing again here. Womp womp. That's all I got. Have a great Thursday!
Kristykristyleelee that sounds nice! I've been thinking about updating DD's room lately since it's still decorated as a nursery from when I was pregnant with DS, and pretty much the exact same idea crossed my mind at one point! But I decided to find some decorations that I will use at her birthday and transfer over to decorate her wall with after! I'm quite excited about it too!
My random was also going to be grown up baby talk-DD has been clicking her tongue when anyone kisses her lately which I realized was her version of blowing a kiss back. This morning she was lying in bed with H and I after she woke up and H just said the word 'kiss' and she turned to him and clicked her tongue! So I said 'ah she kissed you!' So she turned to me to click her tongue lol!

I'm planning an awesome bday surprise for DH and trying not to be salty that he didn't do much for mine...
He is a gamer, and right now he is set up on an old desk he can't even put his legs under. He complains about it a lot but would never spend the time/money to fix it. We have had some moments of stress in our marriage about his gaming habit, but overall especially since having the baby, he has been great about having boundaries and not doing it that much. But I know it's something he loves.
Anyway, I bought him an awesome desk and I'm going to set it all up today while he's at work. I also got a mini fridge because it's on the second floor and I'm going to stock it with beer and snacks. And then tell him he's off of baby duty for 24 hours, and to enjoy!
I really think he's going to love it. Again, trying not to feel salty about it. But I had it planned before my birthday so... And also don't want to keep score like that.
I'm terrifed of the day that AF returns. I've been fortunate enough to go avoid it since getting pregnant with DD1... So... November 2012. I feel like karma is going to get me back soon.
We are going to the mountains for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary! It's not actually until Tuesday, but DH will be working. I'm so excited. I should be packing.

Speaking of older baby things, I found O sucking on a tiny piece of candy wrapper and I said "no silly!" And ticked him and he laughed like he knew it was naughty. The next day he looked over at me and started giggling like he was up to something. I went up close and he smiled, showing me that same damn wrapper in his mouth! I took it (and threw it in the trash this time instead of up on the couch) and he giggled hysterically. Could not believe he's old enough to be mischievous on purpose!
Why is it that whenever I want to tag someone they are never in the quick tags? Anyway, carolyngrace that sounds like an amazing present! H's bday was last month and I totally skipped over it and got him nothing. And to make it worse, I had ordered DS new sheets and they arrived in a package on the front porch. H thought it was a gift for him and was bummed when it was sheets. IN MY DEFENSE he told me he wanted a new meat smoker but that he wanted to pick it out himself. And he never did. So.
Anyone else have an unhealthy obsession with Carters? DS needs some new jammies, and I'm having a hard time limiting myself to 2-3. I think 90% of his clothes are from there.
