My girlfriends and I usually have a dinner out 1x/mo and tonight we’re going to a gourmet taco joint! I’m taking O along since it will be easier with BF, but I’m dropping off my DD with my grandparents. It will feel like a treat just to get out without the toddler😂

cp3 I'm sorry you had a rough day. I hope today is better. Leaf 🌱 I'm usually so against reading reviews of movies, but I'm really glad you did in this case. I really wanted to see it but now I'm not sure, at least not right now. I think it's kind of irresponsible to make it clear it's a heavy movie.

It’s a gorgeous day out here today. I think we are all going to go on a long walk today.
B had the best night of sleep so I did too. But right now he’s refusing to nap. Why must it always be something?

Thanks everyone. We all had a decent night which helped. D1 has been waking up a lot at night since the baby's been born but last night she slept through other than waking at 4 to use the bathroom. And the baby gave me two long stretches so we all got some sleep.
The girls and I are meeting my old coworkers for lunch and I think I'll take D1 to the park after to get some energy out.

SO's sister and fam is coming from out of town this weekend. They're visiting us this afternoon and slending the rest of the weekend in the city. I'm kind of annoyed about how they planned things though- i.e. friday afternoon at naptime. They could have just as easily stopped by on Sunday on their way out of the city. Obviously no one consulted me.

My dryer isn’t working right. I have to put clothes in two or three times for them to get completely dry. I posted on Fb looking for recommendations for an appliance repair person since I can’t afford a new dryer right now. One of my friends just called and said her husband can stop by after work to help my H figure out what the problem is. I hope it’s something easy to fix... it’s amazing how much laundry is increased by adding one tiny baby.

I’ve noticed our dryer taking longer to get clothes completely dry lately. My dad has said we needed to clean out... something, and that would likely help. Clearly I can’t remember what part needs cleaned. It’s not the lint trap though. I know to clean that!

Yea, I make sure the lint trap is clean too. Unless maybe lint is packed somewhere else. Or the heating element is dying.

I had such a good day with the girls today. Like night and day.
And I don't want to jinx it but the baby has only spit up 5 times today (compared to twice per every feeding), none out of her nose, and the quantity is a lot less. It's only been two days since I cut out dairy so it may just be a coincidence since dairy can take a while to fully leave your system but I'm sticking with it.

I know this would be very much on the early side since he hit 4 weeks yesterday, but I think we just got DS2’s first social smile. He’s generally a happy baby and we’ve had lots of reflex/gas smiles since day one, and this was completely different from those. DH saw it and agreed.
It may just be wishful thinking, but either way it just warmed my heart and made my day. I keep trying to tempt another one and get it on video, but he’s playing hard to get.

Oh it's totally possible! DD started social smiling at a little over 3 weeks. I was in denial at first but there's no mistaking the way she lights up for me, DH or DS. It's so awesome! It's the best reward to mama for all the hard work that has been required lately Post a pic when you get one!!!

katietopaz DS2 is one month now and he started definite social smiles this week. We were surprised and doubtful at first but each day he’s doing it more and more. But never when I have my phone handy to get a photo.

DS here is attempting to smile a bit more this week. Previously it was the kind of smile where his eyes were closed or when he was stretching. A couple of times this week, it was while I was just babbling to him. MH made the comment that baby was tracking me as I was walking away from them last night.

I tried to take Em to mommy and me gymnastics while wearing Noelle in the boba. I got us all fed and dressed and got there on time and Em was actually excited about it again, only to be turned away for "insurance reasons".
It was so much less safe for me to be taking her at 9 months pregnant than it is for me to take her while wearing Elle.
Em was so disappointed so I felt so bad so we were both crying but luckily we made it to the parking lot until it started.
Now we're watching stupid play doh videos in YouTube because I feel so bad.

I feel like I’ve been neglecting you all lately. I try and read up and check in, but life with 3 under 5 is crazy.
We are also moving this coming fall, so we are starting the process of finishing up some house projects and decluttering to prepare to put our house on the market in a few months. I’m super excited because it’s a bigger house in a better school district but sad because this house is where I’ve had all our babies and so many other memories, plus DH put so much work updating and making it an awesome home for us. We weren’t looking to move for a few years, but an opportunity came up that we can’t pass up.
Also, a dear friend, who I’ve known for over 20 years, her mother has been battling the same cancer as mine and she passed away this week and my heart breaks for her and brings back so many memories and am missing my mom a lot lately. It kills me she’s never met my son and my girls won’t know her.

That’s terrible cornpop. I’m sorry that happened. Poor Em I’m sorry about your friends mom @sweetc126. I can imagine it would be extra tough for you. Hugs! I’m excited for you all and your baby smiles! Definitely a wonderful mom moment.

When you think "oh this kid doesn't puke much, I can burp him without a burp rag." And then it turns out the burp rag wouldn't have been nearly big enough anyway and you end up doing another load of laundry.

This is along the same lines with “my boobs never leak anymore, so I don’t need a breast pad”

Last minute trip to my hometown for the weekend. My grandpa has been sick and in the hospital, but he’s coming home today, although the doctors aren’t really sure how much longer he will be with us. He’s very old and won’t be doing anymore treatment. My mom said all he’s been talking about is how he can’t wait to see L. He’s been battling cancer for a while now, and the whole time I was pregnant, he just kept saying he hopes he lives long enough to see the baby. He met L when he was a couple weeks old and just fell in love. It’s tough living 3 hours from our whole family, but I’m glad he’s coming home and we get to see him! I’m just a little nervous for the trip and hoping we brought everything we need. So far we’ve been in the car for an hour and L has been sleeping the whole time.

cornpop, poor Em! That must have been so disappointing for her. I hate when we take N somewhere and he’s all excited and they have it closed for a private party - he doesn’t quite get why he can’t go in. sweetc129, so sorry for the sad news. And I’m sure 3 under 5 is tough! Some days I can barely handle 2! clementine, hope your trip goes well and I’m glad you will get to see your grandpa.
