My friend and I stayed up til 1130 (hey that's late for us now) sitting on her bed chatting.
Then I got in bed & realized DS would wake for his first feeding soon if he stuck to schedule so I just played on my phone, and sure enough right at midnight
He woke me up later talking in his sleep. He started out just creepily whispering
over and over, then just when I though he was asleep he started proclaiming DUCK DUCK DUCK DUCK. He's so duck obsessed.
We're gonna eat breakfast, then get on the road! Gonna stop and see one of DH's med school friends then it's a beeline for the beach!

The bar has been set pretty high for this thread...
I am so out of practice for dealing with MOTN wake ups. Third night in a row. This morning was like this:
Back in the office today. I rescheduled a bunch of my meetings to today so I could stay home with DD yesterday and now I am feeling like:
When what I really need is a day like this:
At least it is Friday and I can look forward to the weekend and a relaxing night at home... except DD is still getting over HFM and this is the current state of my kitchen:
Wow I'm so impressed with these awesome gif stories. Can I just vent for a second though? So like I said yesterday, I have a miserable cold. Yesterday I asked H to take the lead with DD so I could just rest and be lazy. That didn't really happen, but ok. So I put DD down for bed and she's out by 8(I rock her to sleep. I know, I know. But whatever. We both like it). At 8:30 she's up screaming. When it was obvious she wasn't going back to sleep I look at H and say "well she's definitely not going back to sleep on her own" and he's just like "yeah". So maybe get up and offer to try rocking her for me? Oh, no? You just want to sit there and watch tv while your sick wife has to do everything when all I really want to do is sleep? Cool. Thanks. So of course I did the mature thing and mother f'd him under my breath the whole way up the stairs.
So I just brought her in to bed with me and at 9:30 he comes up to bed AND KNOCKS A BUNCH OF STUFF OVER AND WAKES DD UP. And again, doesn't even offer to try to rock her back to sleep for me. I am so annoyed with him. Insert relevant gif here.
ETA it's also worth noting that when he's sick, he literally does nothing. He sleeps in a dark room and we don't bother him. I'm not saying that I want him to catch this cold. But if he does, he will be getting zero sympathy from me.
aggiebug no. And I know I should have. And honestly if I did ask him and I saw she wasn't going right back to sleep for him I would've gladly gone in to rock her. It's just like why do I have to ask?! Step up when I'm sick. I do it for you without being asked. You know?

Oh I hear you and have complete sympathy. And honestly I am good at reacting *exactly* like you did I am trying to be better about communicating in a way that is better for him.

tortor4 my H is exactly the same. I mandated that he is in charge of DD's bath but other than that he seems to think that he goes off dad duty at bedtime. He does not put her to bed or get up in the MOTN unless I specifically tell him to and there have been loads of times that I am getting up again or laying there waiting to see if he will go and I'm silently cursing him.

I think this would be an appropriate gif:
Or this one:
Yesssss to those gifs. 100% appropriate. And I'm really glad I'm not the only one. Sometimes I wonder how in the world would he do this without me?!
H is better. DS is mostly better. I'm still miserably sick. I took off from work an hour and a half early and got an hour at home of free time with no one around. Got through most of an episode of House of Cards and ate lots of snacks and drank tea. Regret not taking the opportunity to paint my nails like I keep saying I will. I just want pretty nails. And to not be sick.
I talked to H and he literally had no idea I was upset. I thought I cussed him out loud enough to hear me but he apologized and feels really bad. That makes me feel better lol
seamonster I really hope you start to feel better soon and all these sicknesses stay away from your family now. You've definitely had more than your fair share.
mishka29 sounds fun! I wish I had friends with kids. If only I didn't like that seaweed taste of sushi, I'd come find you lol.
I worked today and nothing exciting happened. Not sure what we're doing tonight. DH will be home a bit later than usual so...shrug. Sorry, no good gif story today from me
So sushi was yummy but It was stressful. LO was screaming to get out of her high chair and DD1 was a total pita. She was so loud, running away from the table and not listening. At one point when DH went to get her she yelled out 'daddy don't hit me. Don't hit me'. Seriously?! Wtf kid?! He has never hit her. Needless to say we were not impressed and won't be going out to eat again anytime soon.

DD has been running around like a crazy person, you'd thinking we fed her pixie sticks.
After I bad mouth DH for not helping at bed time, he's trying to get DD to sleep. He actually told me to go to up to bed and he'd handle her. Now I feel a little guilty, but it is nice to be the one relaxing in bed tonight.
Congrats aggiebug I muse of missed the pregnancy announcement but I noticed the pregnancy dream comment! All these babies is giving me baby fever. Then DD pulls a chunk of hair out of my head and rips my glasses off my face. Maybe not quite yet!

I'm going dress shopping with my mom this morning for a wedding I'm attending in a week. My mom is not usually so "I want to hang out with just you" so I'm taking her up on it. Now I'm a little worried she's going to judge me about dress size and spending too much money on one.
H and I watched interstellar last night. It was good although sometimes...okay, most of the time... I can't fathom space and worm holes and other dimensions but I enjoyed it anyway being able to understand it on a basic level.
Another crappy night but DH really stepped up. Anyway, we're going to my moms before nap then after nap we're heading to a Lula Roe party so I'll finally be able to get a pair of these leggings everyone talks about. dreemkin have fun dress shopping! And try not to feel judged about anything, just enjoy it! lilyelayne hope you're having a fun trip!
