DD1 and I baked a pound cake today! It didn't rise a ton so I hope it's okay. I used a regular loaf pan.
She finally went down for her nap at 2. Thank the Lloyd!
I feel so far behind because yall have babies and I'm still waiting over here waiting 🤷♀️

amesie our photog was 3 weeks but she let us know it would take that long, and I usually expect that timeline from her. Other photographers we have used are generally 1-2 weeks.

I went to work to pick up my disability paperwork this morning and went to target to get the stuff for my old double pump going until my new one comes in. We have a fire meeting tonight to go to. I have to keep reminding myself not to overdo it since I’m only 3 days out from having a baby.

Today is trying to figure out how to make it to everyone’s valentines parties while keeping baby fed and happy. She’s tough. With DD2 and 3 I could just kind of feed them when it worked for me (on demand of course but i could wake them and feed them if we had to be somewhere). DD4 just won’t really eat before the 2.5-3 hour mark and if she does it generally results in more spit up than usual. Which is plenty as it is. Which leaves me at a loss often.
Like it’s 2:10. I fed her at 12:15. I need to be at DD1’s school at 2:45. I don’t want to take her and nurse her in a room full of 7 and 8 year olds. I can leave her with my mom but I still haven’t pumped yet.
Really as I read back over this, the moral of the story is I just need to pump already. I ordered a Haakaa. Hopefully I can store some ounces with that thing.

ajetter big props to you. 🏆 I’m having a hard time with 3 kids, I can’t imagine throwing in another. Plus it’s harder when you hv older ones bc they have more activities and school responsibilities.

I can definitely baby wear. I was planning on it but baby was sleeping when we got there and I didn't want to wake him but taking him out. I usually do wear him for errands if he is awake. When he starts daycare I will need to bring the car seat inside in case H does pick up. A leash would help him from running off but won't get him to go where I need him to go. He kept stopping to try to play with the exercise equipment on the way to the pool. I guess there is no magic bullet. I plan to use the double stroller a lot - strap DS1 in his seat and then put the bucket seat in. If I’m going to a store with a cart, I plan to lock car door with kids inside to get cart (hopefully park next to the cart corral or as close as possible), bring cart right to car and put DS1 in and then put baby in cart hammock. If those aren’t options then I will put bucket on my arm and clutch the shit out of DS’s wrist with my other hand.

We aren’t big V day people anyway, but especially not with 13 day old baby lol. And my mom is still here. I’m making us dinner in the IP and that’s about it.

rebeccabunch yeah the activities have definitely proved to be a challenge! Today there were valentines parties at 9,11 and 2:45, and DD2 has dance at 5:15. Its tough to sneak in feedings and naps in with all that crap. So very thankful for my parents’ help!

Got an okay picture of the girls. DD1 doesn’t cooperate most of the time when I take their picture and DD2’s expression kills me

tiffrobot and anyone else. How do you corral the toddler while carrying the bucket seat with baby? I took DS to swim last Thursday with the baby in tow and I was so anxious he would run off in the parking lot and I can't just scoop him up anymore. I feel like I'm at a toddler's mercy which is stressful. Tips? A lot of yelling Ha seriously. Thanks for the laugh.

My H surprised me by letting me sleep in! He went into work 1.5 late and took DS1 to school so I only had to wrangle all of them 1 way today. This is true love in my house. 💯❤️

How long did it take you guys to get your newborn pictures back? My friend used us as models for H’s newborn shoot and said she’d give us some of the photos for free. This was a week and a half ago that we had them done. I want to use the pictures for a baby announcement but not sure when I should expect to have them back. I also didn’t know if since we weren’t a paying customer that she was taking her time editing them. 🤷🏼♀️ We got our proofs back in 2 weeks and are still waiting for finals to use for our announcement. She said 2 weeks for final pictures

Omg, I'm stuffed. There's no room for dessert 🙈 we made steaks, scallops, mussels.. We do a fancy dinner on V-Day. If we spend what we would on a restaurant we get far better food!

Because I bought good ones. You can easily do it with chocolate chips for baking. The strawberries were.. $5 because I got a TON. And I have one and a half cookie trays of them. Seriously! They're my favorite just because treat.
