Hi all,
Is it Monday in the Northern Hemisphere yet? It’s Monday afternoon/evening here and we are about to do birthday cake for DS1.
Cake is not Pinterest worthy, but also not a Pinterest fail so I’ll take it lol! Took me ages last night to make and I’m tired as today.

Busy morning here today. DD has kindergarten camp this week, so it’ll be good practice on getting to school on time. While she’s at school, J has his 2 month appointment with shots. We also need to go to the grocery store.

Happy Birthday to your DS1 nevertoomanyshoes! Not much going on here today. DD1 seems to finally be feeling better. Thank goodness. R still thrush. Ugh. The pedi already has another prescription of Diflucan called into the pharmacy for him. I'm going to the store today to buy all new nipples for his bottles again. Hoping this will clear up soon. Otherwise, just some housework and getting my house ready for the week. I don't have daycare kids today. It's kind if nice to enjoy another day with just my family. I'm getting pretty burnt out on home daycare. Really wish there was something else I could do from home to help bring in some extra money.

Second night in the crib went ever better- he slept from 8pm-3:45am! Today I have a Target run on the agenda and a stop at Pet Smart for dog food. Exciting times over here🤷🏼♀️

Mh gets 6 weeks paid parental leave the first year after baby is born. He took two weeks when she was born and is off for the next two weeks starting today. I'm looking forward to the extra help and being able to get some solo time to run errands.
We leave for Disney early Friday so this week will mostly be getting ready for that. I'm feeling overwhelmed with everything we need to pack with two small kids. But I'm so excited to see D1's reaction when we get there and it will be worth it.

Happy birthday to your DS nevertoomanyshoes! cornpop I feel you. I’m on my 3rd week of work and it has gotten easier but I still feel so much guilt that I can’t stay home with him. Hugs! Enjoy this week and I’ll be thinking of you next week. I’m just at work and pumping. So fun.

N had her vaccines this morning. She's sleeping it off now and I'm hoping she doesn't develop a fever later. She'll be 9 weeks on Wednesday and weighs 13lb today!

Who here has a colicky baby? And how the eff do you do it? I’m losing my mind. He cries all.the.time. Dd2 did this too and I honestly did not bond with that child. Right now he’s screaming in his bouncer because I quite literally cannot handle it. I spend so much time zoned out in my phone bc I need to tune him out and I end up shutting the other kids out too. Need a new strategy....

nevertoomanyshoes, Happy Birthday to your son sweetc129,Happy Birthday! I am at work, but not working hard. I have almost everything wrapped up for the school year. I don't know how I will keep busy until the end of the day on Friday. The students are done tomorrow and so are most of the staff. We had busy weekend. H's grandpa turned 90 and there was a big party with family from all over. Then we had a family reunion with additional family members yesterday. H took the boys to a cottage to visit with family who are still in the area today. I wish could be there, but I had to work. I am hoping to squeeze a nap in after work before they get home.

Hi friends. It’s June?! DH left for another work trip this morning - he’ll be gone till late Thursday night. I’m a little less anxious this time, but I don’t know how I’m going to do bedtime for both boys solo. It’s DS2’s witching hour and I’m always doing all the things to keep him happy till I put him to bed a bit after DH finishes with the toddler. Also celebrating because the baby slept from 9pm-3:30am last night 🙌 Happy birthday sweetc129 and nevertoomanyshoes DS!

dizzycooks I’m so sorry. DS1 was just shy of officially colicky and I about lost my mind those first several months. We had to do a lot of shuffling - swing for ten minutes, bouncy chair for ten minutes, hold and sway for ten minutes. I also often had to set him in the crib and step outside the house for a few minutes just for a breather. Hang in there, it’s going to get better.

Happy birthday!! sweetc129 and Little nevertoomanyshoes!! 🎉🎉 I soaked in an anti itch bath but idk how much it helped. My SIL helped me figure out that it's black fly bites, not mosquito. Tomorrow hopefully I'll feel functional again.

Thank you everybody, I had to shamelessly plug my own bday 😘. dizzycooks That sounds rough. J isn’t colicky but I have to just let him scream and cry a lot or I’ll never get anything done or tend to the other kids. I really hope he grows out of it soon. Don’t be too hard on yourself a unhappy baby is tough and you are doing a great job.
