Happy Thursday!

[benandjerrys]

Morning! Nursing DS and watching fixer upper. I'm hoping to get a shower today

[watermelonseed]

Morning! I can’t believe that baby slept in her own crib in her own room ALL night on the first try. We had the best sleep since she was born. 🤩

I’m going to shower and take DD1 to her little music group at the library shortly.

Hope everyone has a great day!

A coworker was supposed to come over for lunch today but she had to cancel. Oh well.

I may go pick up some takeout later for lunch--- not sure what sounds good?

It’s supposed to snow 15-20cm today so we won’t be leaving the house. Crazy because yesterday was15*C and beautiful. I have high hopes of H napping well so I can get some things done and start my book for book club.

Oh and it’s been one week since I started healthy eating again and I’m down 4lbs!

Baby V had a rough night, I made a MOTN decision to try giving up dairy. I don't know for sure if my dairy-heavy meals/days have correlated with her gas but I'm willing to give it a try. She was SO uncomfortable last night.  
I gave up dairy when BFing DS and it wasn't a huge deal so I figure it's worth it.
ETA: we did have stuffed shells last night so I ate a huge amount of cheese at dinner.

I’m so finicky about visitors. Unless it’s my super good friends, I’m usually relieved when people cancel. It makes me too stressed, I can’t even pinpoint why but I’m always like this when I have newborns. Especially if they are coming in the morning. I started telling people not before 10 but that still always seems to early. When it’s not this stage, I love having people over.

[rebeccabunch]

cake congrats on the weight loss! Great momentum can come from 4 pounds.

Good morning!
G didn’t have school this morning and now her afternoon teacher just text me that she has a stomach bug. No afternoon session for her either. I guess she is staying in her pjs all day because I am doing the least.
This is TMI but I got up to pee around 4 this morning and found that I was spotting. I figured this was the start of my first pp cycle. It has since stopped so I don’t know what’s going on.
I slept like crap so I am super tired. G asked to watch Nightmare before Christmas so we are watching that. I think today may be a tv and snuggle sort of day.

Morning! DS went with DD to her “school” this morning (twice a week DD spends the morning with another homeschool mom who does preschool stuff with her while I teach at a homeschool co-op...when I go back in two weeks DS will go too, today was their “test run” to make sure DS would take the bottle, etc).

Anyway it’s a quiet kid-free house! H and I DTD for the first time since baby and it sucked lol. But then we went to McDonald’s for breakfast which was much better than the PP sex lol. I’m about to pump & workout & then I have a hair appointment!

[snowyowl]

Morning! Both boys were on sleep strike last night, so DH probably got even less than I did. Hopefully they will manage simultaneous naps today so we can crash.

[rebeccabunch]

I forgot about sleep laughing! 💓

[jessijean]

We installed our new washer last night. I've never been so excited to do laundry. Isn't adult life exciting?

Lowes offered us 10% back for their crappy customer service and then called me this morning basically begging me not to ding them too hard on the customer satisfaction survey. HA!

What do you guys do for cradle cap? DD never had it

With G I used baby oil and a baby extra soft toothbrush and gently rubbed it off. It worked ok. I have to do it for this little guy but I don’t have any on hand.

[flippinchica]

It is lovely out today so I'm sitting on the porch with DS2 asleep on me. I made a mojito though the mint leaves are really small and the club soda is flat (I have it from pre pregnancy).
This afternoon is swim lessons for DS1 so I'm picking him up from daycare early.
DS2 starts daycare test Run on the 12th and I go back to work on the 19th. I'm feeling ready. DH and I are planning on taking an adult trip to 6 flags during the test run. I'm excited.
Oh and we dtd on Sunday and it was ok. Nice to be intimate again.

I love the mustela foam shampoo!

Good morning!
We avoided a big disaster this morning. I was putting L in the carrier and shut the van door, and the doors were locked! Thankfully M is good at following instructions and opened the door. I am now nursing L in the preschool parking lot bc he was screaming! Is it too early to start drinking?

[pippiann]

Now L is passed out. Fx he stays asleep When I put him in the car seat, I would like to go across town to pick up the dry cleaning.

[marygracerich]

Why does the baby only want to snuggle and sleep when he wants to?!! When I want to snuggle and sleep he is like “lol nope, feed me Mommie.”

[benandjerrys]

DS has basically not slept since 7am. He is currently passed out but smells like he had a huge poop. Well too bad kiddo, you'll have to sleep in poop until you wake up on your own.

Also I have a milk bleb. I've been taking lecithin but I'm too lazy to do anything else.

[ajetter]

My house is littered in dirty burp cloths, diapers that need to be thrown away, and hairbows. And so many effing toys. I’m at the we might as well just burn it down phase.

[tiffbabey]

DS had preschool all day today, we had a quiet day at home. Did a little organizing and laundry, and gave baby a sponge bath. I’m going to try and squeeze in a nap before DS gets home. And today is the last of warm days for a while so we might get out for a short walk when DS gets home.

[tiffrobot]

Last night I started the bedroom routine solo with all 3 for the first time. I think the kids (specifically DS) could see me struggling adjusting everything, and they worked together to make this happen while I took care of N and myself 😭 Their first “sleepover”. They are the best. DD1 is wearing a pair of DS’s pjs. Double cry face.

Coconut oil & then I just massage his scalp with a soft brush. DD had it soooo bad until she was like one years old & by then I was using s comb to try scrape it off. DS hardly has any so I just do it after his baths. I also rub his head with a washcloth during the bath & I think that helps too.

[dragonflyinn]

It is funny to me how obvious it is when S is sleepy. He is just sooo cranky and absolutely nothing makes it better except laying down and sleeping. I was trying to snuggle him and he just kept getting mad so I laid him down in his PNP with a paci and he was passed out before I even left the room! Both kids napping so hopefully they give me at least an hour of overlap!

[dragonflyinn]

Im dying tiffrobot 😭😭

[ajetter]

tiffrobot that is so awesome! Major props to your kiddos. I particularly love the bowl of cereal too. 😊

[pippiann]

benandjerrys a lot of times you can just scratch it out, sounds bad lol.
We are on day 6 of no pooping and thankfully he’s taking care of that right now! Hopefully this means he’ll sleep better tonight. H is Going OOT tomorrow until the 9th 😳. I am a little scared to say the least.
