On our way to the zoo!
We took dd down to the beach for 20 minutes yesterday. She loved it! She sat under the umbrella with her feet in the sand. She started screaming as soon as Grandpop took her back to the house, before they even got off the beach. Mil and I stayed with ds on the beach. The weather was perfect! It was in the 70s, sunny, slight breeze, no humidity. I wished I could have sat on the beach all day with a book like the good old days but kids man. The beach is not relaxing anymore. We ended the day by walking down to the ice cream place and hitting up the playground. It was the perfect day.
The night was not so perfect and dd was up a couple times between midnight and 4. One day she'll sleep again. Sighs. She moves more than ds ever did in the crib. She was moving herself around in complete circles. That's not where I left you baby!

Why does the dog take up so much space in bed when it's just the two of us? Girl, I want to starfish. Please curl up in a tiny ball as per usual. Kay, thanks, bye. Guess she wanted to starfish too.

M is getting so distracted when nursing lately which ends in a shallow latch. Ouch. This age is when nursing DS went downhill bc he fought nursing unless it was first thing in the morning bc he didn't want to miss seeing anything that might be happening.

Same here, she's like pulling my nipple off to look at her big sister

carrots we're getting to the distracted age too. Smacking my boob, grabbing my shirt, breaking her latch to smile at me if I talk or look at her. It's cute but also maddening. Also, pinching me with her grabby monkey toes.

Plus whatever to distracted eating.
TMI Ahead, GROSS turn back now * * * I have had a morning to say the least, Q was eating and in the middle of it had a poosplosion, I am talking about up his back, out his onesie, out his pants, on me and the bed. It was bad of course I had to stop breastfeeding to take care of it. So I am covered in poop with a screaming baby trying to change him and then he pees everywhere!! We haven't had a pee accident in a month. Needless to say it was pretty miserable trying to clean up him, the bed, and myself while he was still hungry. * * *
End gross, so now I am doing laundry and cleaning. My H had to work today so I am counting down the hours till he gets off.

Good morning! New pregnancies make me so happy! A distracted nurser over here too. Sweet but maddening and ouch. I'm also sure my supply is tanking because I'm struggling to stay hydrated at work because crazy busy. Hoping we can get to 6m still. ambiguousmango, that sounds swful! Hope your day improves. I'm sitting enjoying a starbucks while DS1 plays on the park and H naps in the stroller. Well be heading home to get DH soon then off to the county fair which ll be fun. DS1 wants to milk a cow and go on the rides. It's cool and cloudy so perfect weather to be outside all day.

The nature center hosted a picnic night tonight with live music. A family that lives nearby that we've been trying to be friends with (they have 2 girls the same ages as our kids) met us there and we had such a great time. It was one of those evenings that just felt right - not too stressful, just the right amount of socializing, and the kids had a great time. I needed that!

ambiguousmango, Oh no! What an awful morning. The boys and I have been at my parents most of the day. I have so much housework and it's overwhelming to the point that I'm basically just avoiding it until H can be at home helping me. I'm so looking forward to tomorrow! We're taking the boys and meeting my brother and SIL at the botanical gardens in the A.M. Afterward, SIL and I are going to wander Old Town for some bonding time and, more importantly, drinks.

Two big toddler thumbs up to the Cape May Zoo peaseblossom55! It was awesome. I was impressed by the size and variety of exhibits. Everything was stroller friendly, even the exhibit buildings which isn't always the case. The middle part of it is under construction to build a new primate area but that didn't take away from it at all. Also, it's "free", they just ask for a donation.

There was a sheriff on a horse at the zoo. He stopped and let ds pet the horse. Ds doesn't have many words so he signed thank you. The sheriff asked how you sign "you're welcome." I love it when people are awesome.
Random: the horse's name was Dodge.

S I have a diaper question for you all. E has begun sleeping through the night here and there once she leaked through her diaper this morning she almost did again. Do I use the next size up? Wake her to change her diaper (please say no). Switch brands? We are using pampers right now.

With dd we started doing an overnight diaper around 6 months. We did baby dry (pampers) and went a size up from her daytime diaper. Last time I was at target I even saw a swaddlers overnight option, have not tried them but they might be worth looking into.
