Hurrah for Friday!

[purple]

And quadruple hurrah for H being off for three days next week!

I've just made a doctor's appointment for this afternoon.

I've been lurking on what will probably be my new BMB but I'm nervous to intro. How silly of me.

No caffeineated fizzy drinks and no sweets till December - yikes!

Hope everyone has a good Friday.

H and I are going out for dinner and drinks tonight with 2 other couples for my BFFs birthday. This is only our 2nd night out since M was born. The first time MIL slept over but now she wants to take him to sleep at her house. He's never spent the night out and I'm nervous. She lives a block away though lol. Should I let him sleep there?

It's my birthday! Just passed J off to SO so I can lay in bed for another hour and then we are going to meet some friends for a play date:)

Since your MIL watches him a lot and knows what to expect, Id do it.

Happy birthday pghtruelove! I hope you have a good day!

Happy birthday, pghtruelove!!

My ILs are coming today, which means mil and I will likely go to target for a few hours.

LO slept really well and slept in, too. Omg.

[billyhorrible]

holliberry28 does she have a space for him to sleep there? Like a crib or pack n play? Is she prepared to handle him potentially not sleeping well in a new place? What's your primary concern with him sleeping there?


I've got an early hearing this morning and I was up late prepping for it. I'm so glad today is Friday.

Happy birthday, pghtruelove!!

That's all I've got aside from it being Friday! I've loved having Friday afternoons off this year.

She does have a pack and play and he sleeps there sometimes for his first nap of the day if she brings him to her house. I guess I'm scared she'll feed or rock him in the MOTN and undo all our sleep training efforts.

Plus there the that she acts like she's the boss and this gives her more control.

Happy Birthday pghtruelove!

Nice little Friday planned for us. New pool liner getting installed, hitting up a yard sale, taking the kids to check out a farm and buy some pork from them (they sale half hogs so we are trying them out before committing), open gym at little gym then out for dinner, music and drinks at a new open air venue downtown

A's 9 month appointment is today even though he'll be 10 months tomorrow. I'm wondering where he is on the growth scale since he hasn't been eating much solids. Then I'm finally going grocery shopping. I think I'll take all the naps with A today so I can try to catch up. The last few nights have been exhausting.

Sounds like some passive aggressive behavior going on between you guys.

If you really want to be sure that he is not rocked MOTN, then don't have her watch him overnight. Otherwise, you kind of have to release it as to how she handles his MOTN wake-ups. That's how I feel, at least.

Yes. Passive aggressive from her. Sometimes aggressive from me, because I can't deal with passive aggressiveness. Then, I end up apologizing because I feel bad for my actions.

Relationship beyond fucked up.

Rushed getting the kids up and out the door since H had to work overnights lastnight only to find out our first patient cancelled. Would have been nice to know so I didn't have to rush as much.

Getting ready to make coffee and eat some breakfast here before crazy cleaning the clinic today.

I might mooch dinner off my parents tonight since H has to work again and I'm tired of solo parenting night and day while he's off during the day to do whatever the hell he wants...

Have you tried giving A food in pouches? O loves them because he can suck them down. It's upped his interest in solids.

Oh, and H told me we're going out for our anniversary tomorrow. Yesss. The restaurant we're going to has the best beignets!

Happy Friday!

Happy birthday pghtruelove!

I posted a video on the FB group already but yesterday afternoon DD started taking about 3-5 steps on her own eek! The first couple times I saw her do it I wasn't encouraging or expecting it, I had set her down standing to get something done and she would start to wander away. She's getting ready to go!

We have a dryer repairman coming today yay. Total first world problem having it down but glad we're getting it fixed!

Yesterday at our event planning meeting me and another mom with kids the same age as mine out ourselves in charge of online shopping for door prizes/raffle items lol. We were like kids in a candy store given a big budget to get whatever we wanted and the other women on the committee couldnt stop laughing at us as we played on Amazon on our phones for the second half of the meeting.

No I haven't because I didn't think he would be able to get any out since he doesn't seem to get how to use a straw or sippy cup. But I will definitely pick some up today to try. Thanks.

I gave DS a pouch to eat on its own for the first time today (normally I have just been using them to mix with his oatmeal). He had 0% understanding that he needed to suck it, but when I squeezed it a little to get some in his mouth, he loved it. It made a huge mess, but at least he was eating some. 

[jillywilly]

Happy birthday, pghtruelove!

Also, all you with the walking babies need to start shutting that shit down. I'm happy DS finally figured out the crawling thing, but I am nowhere near ready for walking! If he got that silly idea, I might just knock him down

Lastly, DS does pretty good with table food, but I've also still been trying to give him the baby oatmeal mixed with fruit about once a day. He used to eat it really well, but it seems like the last week or two he takes a couple bites and then clamps up. Should I just let this battle go? I thought it was a good way to still try to get some extra fruit and vitamins from the oatmeal in him... but then it's not like our "normal" food is crap, either. Is there anything that I'm missing that it's super important to get him to eat the cereal and keep fighting the fight?

Another boring day of work on very little sleep. Hoping that it gets busy and the day goes by fast. DH gets off around 9 tonight, so looking forward to making him get up with the baby countless times tonight.

jillywilly I have a walker, and I was totally unprepared for it, as is evidenced by the nice bruise he's sporting on his cheek today. #supermom

We celebrated with my family last week because they are out of town this weekend. I got a Fitbit, new sheets and blanket for my bed, two humming bird feeders made from really cool jars, and some decorations for the new house.

Thanks everyone for the bday wishes!!

The old pool liner is out and when I saw it my first thought was that it looked like a mass skin suiting pit @scoop
