Actually my weekend will be filled worth studying and trying to catch up on sleep. H doesn't know it (he might suspect it though) but I'm sleeping in tomorrow and yes getting up with M.

We are (re)doing sleep training this weekend. Last night went surprisingly well. P's crib is in our bedroom so we decided to camp out in the living room. She skipped her first usual midnightish wake up, and woke up at about 2:45. We had one rough half hour with periodic checks and then she went to sleep! She woke up again at 5. I figured it had been long enough and went to go in to nurse her and before I got there, she'd gotten herself back to sleep. She ended up sleeping until 7!
I'm headed to the gym to swim and then H will meet me with P for her swim class. It's a beautiful day. I think after the gym, we'll take a walk to this outdoor flea market/ food vendor thing and then maybe go to a park.
Sleep sucked last night here. DS went down fine at 8 but woke at 10 then he went back to sleep after about 20 minutes. Up at midnight and I nursed him. Up again at 1:30 and we did checks till 3. He fussed the whole time. Since the ILs are here I didn't want to keep them up so I laid him down next to me on the futon after nursing and he slept till 6. I really have no idea what to do at this point since he is back to waking every 1-2 hours.
It's like W knew my confession (being really freaked out that he's growing up) and decided he needed to push me out of my comfort zone. He did this while H was laying down his play mat (the first time he fell, the second he just stood right up apparently).

One inch of snow and counting. Go home winter, you're drunk.
Against my better judgement, I am planning to take my three little heathens swimming later. I hope there are no public biting incidents today. Besides that, laundry and hunkering down.
We're in H's college town for the weekend. He comes back every year during their carnival and meets up with old friends. This is the first time I joined him, and we got to experience an 8 hour car trip with the baby. We won't be doing this again. At least the weather is gorgeous, and pancakes are on the horizon.
th3stryck3r I don't know if smorgasburg is what you're talking about, but I love going there. So much food, all in one place! Definitely something I'll miss once we've moved.
packmomma Adorable! Mine isn't standing in the crib yet, but started sitting up in it. For some reason crying while sitting up seems so much more pitiful than lying down crying.
packmomma so cute! C isn't even close to that but I know one day she'll catch me by surprise. I'm tempted to lower the crib before that happens because I'm so paranoid she'll do it when I'm not there and fall out.
We're going to a baby shower for my BIL today, and I can't find out little insulated pack to take bottles. I may just have to make them there, but is there another way to transport pre-made bottles and keep them cool?

I'm pretty sure I saw a turd at the pool thirty minutes in. I didn't want to get closer to confirm (because gross), and I didn't want to tell a lifeguard in case they thought one of my kids did it...so I did the responsible thing and fled quietly with my little ducklings.

carabassa— yes, smorgasburg! So many delicious food options. We had mushroom Filipino style spring rolls and a vegetable dosa with an egg. And I've noted about a dozen more things that I need to try the next times we go. Afterward we walked to the farmers market and got some cabbage, green garlic, sweet potatoes, onions and greens to use this week.

Omg as much as I LOVE the beautiful weather, it sometimes brings too many people out, like unwanted people, like my neighbors behind us that are having some big party with a ton of people, lots of drinking and cursing. Their gatherings often end up in some sort of domestic dispute, so just waiting for it. Sigh. Confession, I hate listening to their backyard party but I don't mind when we have one! Lol.

I'm spending a quiet night in reading, which is nice. Have a friend that keeps posting pictures of stuff she makes and hashtagging #supermom #pinterestmom. etc etc etc. Gag.

Life at her house: Mom, I just want a snack! No, honey, I have to make the apple slices look like the profile of your face before you can have it. And then I have to take pictures. It will be about 20 more minutes.
We're at a hotel, and I finally got the baby asleep and was about to put her in the pack 'n play. As I lay her down I realize that somebody has made up her pnp mattress with SHEETS. Like, layers of thick sheets all folded over. And in doing so messed up the mattress part so it was all bumpy. Um. Wut?
a) You don't put thick layers of bed sheets on a crib mattress! My thin cotton fitted sheet was already on it! b) See a, above! NO!
So I then had a sobbing baby sitting on the floor next to me while I undid the nonsense of the hotel staff, and then had to start over with getting her to sleep.

carabassa, babies in hotels are the worst! Especially dealing with the PNPs and then trying to sit in a dark quiet room with a sleeping baby that you can't leave haha. It was probably someone without kids who made that mess. Sorry you had to do bedtime twice.
tuscanlatte, Yea, I bet the staff was like "aw, a baby bed! Let's fold the big sheets in eighths and make baby sheets it will be so cute!" I had my moment of rage (which happens whenever someone messes with bedtime), but I've now ranted and moved on.
It helps that H booked a room with a separate living area, so I get to chill on the couch with my laptop and milano cookies. No complaints now.

carabassa, ooooh a separate living area is awesome. I get bedtime rage too. Logically I know some things can't be helped (like dogs don't specifically know not to walk around while I'm transferring her from feeding to crib) but if they do it I'm like NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Until she's sleeping. Then it's all good again
