I'm an elected official in my town and tonight our town meeting starts. Typically goes until midnight and continues every few nights for 4-5 nights. I'm sitting here trying not to fall asleep and we aren't even an hour in. The local public access camera is broadcasting right in front of me lol 😂😂😂 so there's no sly snoozing allowed. Shoot me calendula is this you? Good Luck Lol! I love that video so much. Oh Will. I'll probably get home in time for the baby's first wake up. I guess that's not a terrible thing. DH can take the next one and at least I'll get uninterrupted sleep once I finally get to bed. Meanwhile.

Yes yes yes to the babies needing a schedule. Unfortunately we are out of the house a lot and this baby is a master car seat sleeper. It’s preventing us from creating a real schedule which is hard! Bedtime is also chaotic bc the big kids are full of energy despite it being quiet down time. We try to put him down after them, but it ends up being my own bedtime by the time he goes down. I’m lucky to get two in interrupted hours of sleep these days and I’m feeling it. And yes, daycare is magic. I may need to sign ds up for daycare for this reason alone...(jk, I’m on my own).

We survived our first vacation as a family of 4. It definitely had its ups and downs, but overall it was good. We got home at 12:15 am so I didn’t get to bed until about 1:00. L slept about 3 hours before waking up to eat. I then got another 1ish hours after that so I am tired and am hoping both boys will take it easy on me today.

I'm at the hair dresser. I'm getting rose gold highlights and a new haircut today so I'm psyched.
But I may pass out from sitting under a dryer in 80 degree weather.

cornpop +1 to pictures when it’s done please! I just got back from my 6 week appointment. Dr said everything looks good and I’m cleared to resume normal activities. I mentioned that my lower back has been hurting, and she gave me some suggestions to try. Hopefully a heating pad or warm bath will help it. She told me to let her know if it doesn’t get better and she can refer me to a specialist.

I had a lot of issues with my site following my second c-section and it would feel twitchy/spasm for a while after. My OB suggested yoga/stretches to help. My site this time around is starting to spasm already and I can't wait to be comfortable enough to stretch for relief again.

It was bothering me in the same place towards the end of my pregnancy. I just thought it was from the extra weight...maybe I just pulled a muscle. The stretches are a good idea...I’ll have to try it.

Also, if anyone could tell me how to have these waves on a daily basis I'd really appreciate it. I'm hair inept.

That looks so good cornpop! I also suck at doing my hair, so I’m no help.

Looking good cornpop!!! No advice on hair styling though. I'm so bad at it that I pay for blowouts every time I have to go somewhere nice.

Beautiful cornpop! No hair advice though, mines always back in a pony or bun. It’s awful.

My hair is constantly in a ponytail these days, but if it's down it's straightened. I can't curl my hair for the life of me.

I had my 6 week check up yesterday and found out my stitches (there were only 2) didn't heal properly. I had taken a look down there before my appointment and thought things looked off. My doctor said I need surgery to fix it so I had a good cry about that. I will be distraught if it doesn't get back to normal 😣
Also, the doctor who will do the surgery is a friend of my dad, so that's awkward. My dad is a retired doctor but he assists this guy in the OR every week so now I have to be like, please don't work that day dad!

It’s bath night and I am dreading it. Everything seems so much harder with a teeny tiny baby.

I hope the surgery isn’t too bad and that it will heal properly this time!

L just rolled belly to back! It seemed so out of the blue and I was not expecting it. And goodbye tummy time, because I put him back on his belly several times after and he immediately flipped onto his back.

And that was only because I hadn’t washed my hair in 2 days and it was easier to hide the crease from the hair tie with curls😂

I’m sorry mintyblueair. Hoping it heals better and easy. ArielMermaid is there any chance baby could shower with your H? We did that with DS1 and they both loved it. It was H’s time to bond and one less baby thing I had to do. We just wrapped him in a Muslin for “grip”. I tried bathing the toddler and baby together. Nope. No good.
