I really want to go back to bed, but we have someone coming to the house to do newborn photos this morning. I need to shower and vacuum the nursery before he gets here, as well as hopefully time the baby’s next feed so she won’t need to eat while he’s here. I am excited to see how they turn out, though! I foresee a nap in my future this afternoon. If you want to spam us with said pics once you get them back, I'm sure we won't mind. 😍🤗

My parents gave DD a "dream tent" for her birthday. She has been up for an hour, but keeps going back into her room to play in it.
I did something to my back yesterday, so it's a little sore. H has a 10:00 work meeting and then I think we are going out to lunch. Should be a good day

Morning. My mom left this morning so we are on our own. It was nice having another adult to help cook, etc. but I will be glad to be able to binge watch without interruption or judgement. We won't be having anyone stay with us since our parents are local enough to us. But I'm thinking...when people are sitting in your living room holding your baby, can you turn the tv on? Is this frowned upon? I can't imagine making small talk for hours every day. My moms local to us, so she never stayed with us overnight, but was there for many full days. We usually took a walk (as slow and short as I wanted), she held the baby while showered and then we watched a lot of HGTV and Food Network the rest of the day.

Maybe I will get it lol. My mom loves HGTV. I'm more just dreading sitting there with my ILs. And lol if MH thinks he's going to sit in his room and play computer games while they're there.

MH went to the grocery store to try to beat the crowd. We only need a few things, so hopefully it won’t be too bad for him. I think before 10 should be doable. It'll be insane after that even though you can't buy booze before noon. I'm so glad I'm not working today! No beer on his list so we should be good!

I did a lot of napping while my MIL was there. It was pretty much the only perk of having her since she doesn’t cook, clean, or change diapers. MH did the same when my mom was there except he never had to be woken up to feed the baby and usually got up to clean laundry and a hot meal. 😒

sudsy, I don’t “know” you very well but I want to give you a big hug. I am so sorry about your anxiety. I know the feeling far too well. It may not feel like it, but you’ve got this. Deep breaths, take things little by little. You are a BAMF. ❤️

MH ended up finishing a paper last night and didn’t fall asleep till 3 am. I therefore did not get to sleep in as expected. However, per our agreement, it is time for my nap. Time to wake his ass up so I can jump back in my delicious bed.

I got home late last night after three days oot for a college wedding. It was a blast. Now it's back to reality with two grumpy kids who are punishing us for being gone and voicing their displeasure that we are not the grandparents.
I'm not a football fan but my plane did the Eagles chant four times during the flight. It was fun that everyone, including the crew, was so excited.

Ugh, SO MANY baby announcements IRL lately (a new one just popped up in my FB feed). H and I were talking logistics of TFAT yesterday, but I don't think it's going to happen. Meanwhile our friends are popping out new babies every 15 minutes.

We all slept in and have had breakfast. We need to get motivation to get stuff done at some point. I’m still busy trying to stock the freezer before baby comes.

The roads are too bad to go anywhere with the kids today, so we’ll be staying in. MH has to leave late afternoon to go to work for superbowl, so it’s going to be a long one.

My 4 yo DS slept like a newborn last night, literally up every 2 hours, except for 12-2am when he was just awake the whole time. At one point he said his ears hurt so I guess we'll go find a walk in clinic today.

B didn't wake up until 8:15, which means I didn't wake up until 8:15. DH let us sleep in.
B has a 100 Days of School project due next week, so we'll be hitting up the craft store at some point today. I've found a few cute ideas that I'll let him choose from.
