Decent night...3-4 wake ups, I don't really remember.
What is killing me is one of her wake ups is usually 2 hours! It's been 4-6am ish usually but last night it was 2:30-4:30.
I think I'm going to try a little yoga today! There is a short postnatal workout on YouTube that I used after DS was born to ease back in to yoga so I guess I'll start there.

Morning. DS slept pretty good last night. ILs are still here. I need to push them to get out of the house because the toddler needs it.

Our fog is due to really warm temps though so I think I'll go out for a walk too!

Omg, my ILs wanted to take DS out with his bike over the weekend...which is great but DS doesn't listen or stay close to an adult so it is also dangerous. (Even though we live on a quiet culdesac.) I was relieved when DH realized he should go out with them. |

Good morning!
I have been busy all morning! I realized this morning that I have no coffee. I put the baby in the Tula, got G on the bus and walked to a gas station for coffee. Desperate times over here. Lol
I just threw in a load of laundry. I’m waiting to hear from my sil. She is taking me to look at minivans this afternoon.
Right now I am finally sitting down to relax. I can clean stuff later.

We are in the middle of an ice storm here. Definitely feeling foggy though. Last night was one of those nights where my almost 2 year old woke up more times than my newborn. It also thunderstormed overnight, which is unusual for February and kept me awake, so drinking allllll the coffee this morning.

Morning! I am headed to the hospital this afternoon to get checked in for my induction tomorrow morning. I’m simultaneously trying to appreciate my toddlers last hours as an only child, and way too tired to be dealing with a toddler.
I’m going to wake DH soon so I can start putting the finishing touches on the house so I can walk into clean, organized space a few days from now (this will last approximately five minutes, but I still want it).

I'm hanging at my parents to get out of the house. It's super nice but way too damp to go to the zoo. We took their dog for a walk with my dad.. Just hanging really.

Ooh. There's a 30% off ring sling code for Tula. I have a Lille linen ring sling but I'm tempted to get a black & white Tencel one from Tula. I haven't even used a ring sling yet so I'm torn because I'm not sure it'll work for us.
Plus I want to order some more Tula blankets. 🙈 another set for DD2 but a set also for my GF who is expecting.

So I like the Tula in that I can walk with him without a stroller. I like that it is giving me some exercise because little dude is heavy. It is a little warm though. Overall I will probably use it occasionally. It will be easier when I don’t have to wear a jacket or sweatshirt. |

It’s 60* out today and it feels glorious!! MH and I just took the girls for a walk. I got like no sleep last night but don’t curr because it’s so nice out!!🙌🏻
My little sister is coming over today so I’ll be able to continue with my mounds of laundry. I did like 3-4 loads of laundry yesterday and have 3 to do today. Then i have to fold it all (the loads from yesterday are just in a flat pile) and put it all away.

Hellooo. I’m watching the olympics. Last night tried DS in the PNP instead of RNP & he did great, except for the massive poops he took all night soooo. He basically did his same schedule of feeding around 2 and around 7 except he woke up an hour before each of those to lay there & poop lol. So I didn’t sleep great. But it gave me hope that he can sleep in there! My sister left this morning and I worked out after. I got to FaceTime DD which was so great— I miss her so much  but trying to think of this as my break before H deploys & I’m solo parenting both kids for months haha. Anyway she seems like she’s feeling better & having fun so I’m glad. It’s lonely here without her and soooo quiet. I am trying to enjoy it but I have no idea what to do with my time now. |

Baby E just took a 1.5 hour nap in her rocker while DD1 was at daycare, so I cleaned the bathroom, vacuumed the girls’ rooms, swept the upstairs, picked up our bedroom, and showered. I feel incredibly accomplished. I expect a crowd of cheering people to arrive with my trophy any moment now. 💁🏼♀️

Today, I started sorting through some stuff in our guest room, just to clear out junk. Tomorrow, I need to do the same in our kitchen/dining area. I have dreams of getting our house really organized during this maternity leave. I might just be able to do it since DS will be at day care most of the time. Really, I need to come up with a plan and work that way. Right now I'm just doing a little here and there. Maybe next week, I'll buckle down and get more organized with how I'm doing it. |

It’s gorgeous out here today, supposed to be even warmer tomorrow but I’m being induced in the morning so won’t be able to enjoy it. I am at the park right now with DS, then we’re going to get him a slush because he keeps mentioning them. I figure why not one last treat before his world changes a lot! Debating on getting something myself although I technically shouldn’t because I still have GD until this baby comes out....

Definitely still winter temps here lol. Supposed to warm up later this week to where it will actually feel nice for here, but nothing close to spring here yet or in the 2 week forecast. The end of winter blues are definitely starting to kick in, ready to start making going outside easier and more often!
DS has hockey practice later this afternoon so I think we’ll all go to watch (in the spirit of trying to get out and about more often haha). They are fun to go watch and it’s nice to go visit with everyone there!

It’s nice to no longer be exhausted and pregnant, and also just starting to get enough sleep to not be a total zombie all day. |

Not only does J fight daytime sleep, he also will only sleep while being held.
I have tried the crib, the swing and the RNP.
Anyone else dealing with this right now?
Any suggestions to not have all day sleep in my arms?
(Thankfully night sleep is in his crib!)

I am jealous of anyone that has nice weather right now.
It is foggy and raining here....I am sick of being inside all the time.
I guess it is the downfall of having a winter baby.

Last night at dinner, when I asked DD1 (2.5 yo) whether she had tried the squash yet:
“Yes, I tried it. It was VERY yummy.” 🤔 🤔🤔
Reminded me of back when she used to sometimes take naps. I went in her room to find her floor covered in stuffed animals, each wearing a diaper. “Yes, I had a good nap. I was VERY tired.”
I think there’s a pattern to her lies...

DD1 took a 10min car nap today and I had her mostly asleep but then found that the dog took a very spiteful crap in her room. While cleaning it up i woke her. I'm not happy right now.
I got the call to schedule my induction for next week. I'll go in next Tues night for ripening. It's nice to have end in sight and plan but... Ugh. I'm so over this!!
