I woke up at 6:18 and haven't been able to fall back asleep but everyone else is sleeping. Nothing exciting today aside from plans for a Costco run between naps. We're planning to fill our extra freezer since it's almost empty. Tomorrow O and I are going to a tulip farm with my sisters! I am super excited.

A decided 5:43 was an acceptable time to wake up on Saturday morning. I'm hoping he's getting ready to go down for his first nap so I can take one too. Then I'm going to have endure the inlaws again at some point...at least H was able to convince them not to come by the house last night at 9:30. I can look forward to sushi tonight though!
Good morning! I'm finally starting to believe I'm actually getting better, but naturally H is sick now. Boo. And DS woke up at 6:15 - this is the third week in a row where I have to get him up at 7 during the week, but come the weekend, he's ready to go. At least I've already got the dishwasher and washing machine running before 9 am?
My mom also just called me, they missed their grandkid on vacation apparently, so we're having dinner with them now, but that should be good. Other than that, hoping to clean a bit today - with both of us sick this week, the house is in rough shape right now.
Had a great night out last night at my mentoring program's mentor recognition program. My mentee is graduating and I'm sad I'll have a new one next year! I just wish there had been wine, but since it's for college students, I get why.
LO was up at 3:45. I stayed up with her for over and hour and then H had her from 5:30-7. Rough night!
Morning. DH just got home from work so we're relaxing while E plays on the floor. I've seen a huge explosion of new skills over the last day or so and both DH and I were commenting on how he seems like a totally different kid. No real plans today besides grocery shopping, run to target and maybe a walk to the park later. I'm thinking tonight's dinner calls for something grilled.
this intrigues me! I've never heard of these but it sounds so good. Is it typically an outdoor thing? What else is served with it? I love crab and lobster so I feel crawfish is similar, but I feel like they are kinda creepy looking so I don't know that I've ever had any lol
Yes! Outside! Boiled with potatoes and corn on the cob with Cajun spices (mostly cayenne pepper and garlic, but some other stuff too). Wash down with beer. So good! I think I heard there will be a snow cone truck there today too. I think crawfish are closer to lobster than crab, flavor wise, but still not really the same.
It's definitely worth a trip down south Kristykristyleelee! And they're easy to find pretty much every weekend from March to May!
This sounds amazing right now. I've been to one, but never done the cooking. We also stick to shrimp boils.
When we go to the East Coast in July to visit H's family, we are going to have a clam bake one night. Can anyone describe what this is like? I'm worried I won't like most of the things. But I will try it!
Morning! B and DH are still sleeping so I am relaxing drinking my coffee. I was supposed to go to a birthday party OOT but it is storming here (snow). DNW to be on the highway with B in this crap. We have to install the new dishwasher today so it will be a good inside day. Hoping B will let us get it done so I can test it out.
Good morning! It wasn't too bad of a night and DDs already down for her first nap. We don't have any real plans for the day, just relaxing! Have a great day everyone!

Sounds like a mostly decent morning for everyone so far. Yay! Edit: Sorry budders , hope your day gets better!
We might be unofficially done with the helmet. I heard LO wake up and chat in his crib. Then I heard a thump, he had pulled off the helmet and dropped it over the crib rail.

No plans here today besides watching the hockey playoffs. It's chilly outside, but thinking about taking the dogs to the dog park. It's so complicated with J though.
P's gums look like raspberries. Poor guy is miserable. Hopefully a trip to the zoo will distract him. Tomorrow I'm leaving for a three day conference. Usually i really look forward to this conference but this year the thought of going is really annoying me for some reason.
FIL is getting released from the hospital today, which is great. He went in for a hernia operation but they nicked his bowels. He had a bad infection and fever, and will have to wait six months to try the procedure again.
It's ironic because when MH grandpa went in for a hernia operation a few years ago they ended up doing triple bypass and he still has his hernia too.
My dad had a hernia operation last year and it didn't take so he had to have another one a few months ago. It finally worked!
heartofglass, LO had a very similar wake up time this morning compliments of a blow out so bad DH felt compelled to give her a bath. Hope you were able to get a nap in.
Oh no, at least your DH took over and let you sleep in We were able to get in a good nap finally, thanks.
pghtruelove no, I thought LO was free but apparently I would have had to pay $20 for her and my niece and I can't see paying that for something they both would potentially not like. We went to the mall instead.
I am developing a headache, too. I'm going to make a BRU run and I wish there was a drive thru Starbucks on my way.

Really, LO wasn't free? I didn't think there was a lot that they could do there this young.
Also, there is a drive thru Starbucks close to BRU on freedom road by Quaker Steak! It's only about 1-2 min away!

We always just do nice casual, but it's Seattle, so that's pretty much true everywhere here.

Sundress, maxi skirt and top, leggings and flowy top?
H booked me an early Mother's Day massage for today! Yay! Anyone know the proper massage etiquette in regards to shaving legs? I am a hairy mess right now, is it rude not to shave before a massage?
FFSC I forgot last time and she didn't spend much time on the legs. I would...

Dammit @imapenguin, now I want crawfish. I'm sure one of the bars downtown has free crawfish tonight. I can take LO to a bar if they're serving food, right? Babies in bars is totally normal...

We had gyros for dinner last night and they were huge, so I took about half mine and some fries home. So naturally that is what I had for breakfast this morning.
Going to my parents' house today, they moved about 3 weeks ago and this will be the first time I'm seeing their new place. It will just be me and lo since husband is brewing today, so I am making him give me some baby free time tomorrow as a trade. What to do...
It's a rainy morning here but saturdays are usually my lazy day. Went to chikfila for breakfast and wanted to pick up cookies for later but they were out
Planning to go to BRU to get an exersaucer which was ok'd by E's dev dr and pick up sunblock. Maybe open a savings account for E at the credit union (I don't want to open a 529 so while we're looking up options figured I'd park his birthday money in the bank).
Oh sam's club would be nice but now I'm being overly ambitious....
Baby Elliott (technically) due 6.13.2015 but born via c-section on 4.12.2015 at 31w1d after 31d of hospital arrest (think house arrest) for monitoring.
