This is my last week of maternity leave. I am sad and happy.
Happy to have adult interaction again and bring home a paycheck again. Sad to miss the time with J (and miss being in comfy clothes most of the time)

Today was the girls' first day at daycare and DH dropped them off. He said that DD1 walked into her new classroom kind of bouncing around and excited and all the kids just looked at her so she put her head down and was shy. But she didn't cry! I hope things turn around and she has fun today and is excited to go back tomorrow.
I'm going to pick them up after work and this day can't go fast enough.

Morning! I’m WFH today. Just got back from dropping DD1 off at school and DD2 is sleeping. Hopefully I can be somewhat productive today.
I tweaked my knee somehow so I’m trying to ice it as much as I can so I can get back to working out. I have no idea how it happened which makes me so mad because I never get injured.

We had some bad storms come through our area yesterday with a tornado and one person died not far from me. Also there was as ton of damage to homes and schools. I didn't realize how bad it got even though we had a tornado warning until this morning when I saw the news.

Marathon Monday! Anyone else interested in/following the Boston Marathon today? What weather they have... I didn’t realize the marathon is today. They are going to have some cold/rainy weather. Not something I’d run in. I’m a fair weather runner, though. And still a beginner.

We had a raccoon on our roof above our bedroom at 3am. Didn't really get back to sleep after that.

I’m still trying to take it easy so the only things on my list are ds2’s 2 month appt and picking up my prescription (for some reason CVS only gave me half of what I need).

Marathon Monday! Anyone else interested in/following the Boston Marathon today? What weather they have... seriously. I was supposed to go and watch with my sister and nieces but my porch is a solid sheet of ice. I live a couple towns away from the starting line so it’s not like their weather is that different! So crazy. I hope they all stay safe!!

I was supposed to take DD1 to her swim lesson this morning but my cough/cold has progressed and gotten worse so MIL is going to take her instead. So now i have quite the easy morning with just the baby. I’m hoping to get her down for a nap soon and hop in the shower. I bet the steam will do my chest some good

Good morning! I was up late watching hockey (Bluejackets and Capitals went into overtime again) we came back from a two goal deficit (again) to win in overtime. We have tickets to the game in Columbus tomorrow night. It should be a super fun atmosphere, we've never lead a playoff series let alone by two games.
I'm working today and covering for a coworker while she is on vacation this week. DH has some phone calls today and an interview tomorrow afternoon and we are hoping he will get a job offer from one of his interviews last week.
Faith is starting to be a lot more mobile, I had to take the bumpers off the crib last night before putting her to bed. Yesterday morning I woke up and she had somehow traveled from the middle of the crib all the way to the far side and was laying on her side with her face in the bumper. She did the same thing this morning and both times she was fully swaddled.
Should we start the transition out of the swaddle since she is moving around so much and turning on her side?

Hi guise. O didn't sleep too well so I was up all night. I hate leaps!
It's cold and rainy here so I'm doing meal planning and we're not going anywhere. I'll grocery shop tomorrow..
I'm not really excited to go back to work but I'm not dreading it either. Being in school is making the time go fast. I only have 3 weeks left of my finance class! Then I start class #7/10. 😁😁😁

Happy Monday all!
We have the two month checkup and shots today. I'm dreading it 😭 I'll be so sad to see him get shots and I'm not looking forward to him being fussy afterwards!

I am obscenely tired. I couldn’t sleep last night. I would fall asleep for a minute and then wake up. I could not stay asleep. I am home alone all day with the kiddos. This will not be fun. G’s bus service doesn’t start again until tomorrow. It is absolutely pouring outside. We have also had some crazy loud thunder. I didn’t send her to school because I don’t trust myself to drive and I don’t want to go out in the messy weather. So far I have put dinner in the crockpot, swept floors and relaxed a bit. I really hope the kids nap at the same time today. I really need to nap too.

IME most of the time it’s not so bad, we as moms feel worse than they do my kids tend to get sleepy after so maybe you’ll get lucky and just end up with extra snuggly cuddles.

Nothing crazy going on today. DS has speech this afternoon. I’m still just willing for our winter snow to melt and it seems to be slowly doing just that lately so looking forward to the real big melt over the next couple weeks!
N is just such a happy smily baby, and she’s being extra chatty and squealy today trying to talk to everyone. She’s even started giggling a little in her “speech” attempts and not just when you tickle her. I love it!

I'm not using them this time around 🤷♀️ I made the bumpers so I put them on the crib knowing they aren't recommended for use at all. I wasn't too concerned when she stayed put when she started sleeping in the crib (only a week ago) but she is squirming around so much and twice has ended up with her face against the bumpers I figured it was time to take them out. I'll probably put them back in when she is stronger and able to push her self up better if she needed to. So talk to me about transitioning out of the swaddle... During the day we do a loose swaddle for naps in the swing or sleeper portion of the PnP. The sides cradle her so she can't really squirm as much, but she does like to lean to one side. I'm thinking we can still do this for a little while longer. At night we put her in swaddle sacks. Do I just leave one arm out for awhile until we figure out if it is interfering with sleep or not and then do both arms out for awhile and then no swaddle sack at all?

Lol, no, my bad. I mixed it up with another city with a similar name more East. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️

All schools are closed today and lots of businesses because of the ice/snow storm. The clutch on my husband’s car went yesterday so we are braving the weather to go and look at new cars since I’m off on Mondays. This is the worst timing to have to buy a new car with me just being off work and now my husband is for 2 months. Also the crazy daycare costs that start in June. But it doesn’t make any sense to throw thousands of dollars at a car with 190K on it and 12 years old.

But it doesn’t make any sense to throw thousands of Dallas’s at a car with 190K on it and 12 years old. The timing sucks, but I agree. A car with mileage that high and that old isn't worth a high dollar repair. Good luck in finding a good deal!

H screamed when the needles went in but was completely fine 10 seconds later. And had no problems the rest of the day. So you may be alright!

So I know everyone has older babies than Liv..
How are they and where are they napping?? Liv naps either with me or in the swing. Dd1 constantly needs something as do all 2yo so I'm always interrupting them.
