I was outside this morning with the baby and a skunk ran right past me on the patio. My husband think it’s was living under the shed and since he filled in the hole this weekend, the damn skunk doesn’t know what to do.
This on top of the raccoons that were recently in our chimney, I’m not safe inside or out from the wildlife lol.

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day!
Today is day 2 back at work and it's DH's day to work from home with the baby. I am so jealous right now and missing DS.
For those who pump at work- how many ounces do you normally get through the day? I am gone 11 hours and on Friday I got 14 oz which doesn't seem like enough. I pumped every 3 hours...today I will try to drink more water as well.

Good morning! Today would be a perfect day to just lay and bed. It’s so stormy here and will likely be like this all day. Which bums me out because we have tickets to a baseball game tonight. I’m running on very little sleep today. Both girls have snotty noses and I feel so sorry for DD2. She’s so completely miserable. I have her crib mattress propped up, humidifier going, nosefrida is getting lots of action and yet she still has congestion. Hopefully it passes soon. I blame it on allergies...or the germs she picked up from being at daycare a whopping 3 days and is already sick. I hope everyone had a nice Mother’s Day! Here’s a pic from yesterday morning with my girls.

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day! My allergies were awful yesterday so after brunch I laid in bed alone and took a nap. It was glorious. Now back to the grind. I never got that pedi I was hoping for but did take off my old polish so it wasn't so obvious.
We are meeting with our builder tomorrow after work and then an architect after that to make some changes to the floor plan that we decided on. We were supposed to start moving some stuff into a storage unit this weekend. We rented the unit on Saturday and haven't moved a thing yet. And we only have a month until we put our house on the market. Can someone come do this for me? Makes me tired just thinking about it!

yellow711 I'm shedding alllll over the place. I'm amazed I still have hair! I'm so tired of class prep. I hope students realize professors put in a lot of effort into using new textbooks, etc.

yellow711, I have some crazy dry spots on my scalp. I happened to find a spot right above my ear and itched it yesterday just thinking I had an itch and an entire clump of hair came out with some skin 😳. I cried.

yellow711, I thought my hair loss started a couple of weeks ago but it really increased in the past few days. I mean, handfuls of hair in the shower and when I comb it out afterwards. My hair is very thick so that doesn't help. I just keep telling myself that very little fell out for 9 months so it will be fine but man. It really is an annoyance, having to pick it off of everything! I did get a few inches cut off in January in anticipation of this.

sarahh, the moving process is so damn exhausting. We sold our home and bought a new one in a matter of one month last year...and in the middle I found out I was pregnant. It was so stressful. But I also found purging things was so cleansing. Like, I was decluttering my life. LOL Good luck with the process. Building is so exciting because you get to pick everything and make it yours from the beginning!

We had a great day yesterday...I was kind of bummed we didn't make special plans but it turned out perfectly. DH and DS went out to get breakfast and coffee and then we just had a quiet day around the house. DH offered to pick up lunch too but we just did a "clean out the fridge" meal instead and it was good. Oh and V celebrated me by sleeping through the night Saturday night again. She is doing that here and there but not consistently. It was hot and very stormy though so I didn't sleep as well! I did get the perfect pic too, I was sitting in the glider with V and DS climbed up with us with a book and DH managed to grab the phone and snap a pic before it all fell apart.

I never want to move again! We moved into our house when it was just DH and I and it wasn't easy but not hard. I can't imagine doing it with kiddos!

The market around here is really good right now which is the only reason we are going to list it now. The selling part is what is really stressing me out. I would be completely fine selling it right away and then moving into a rental until our new house is ready just so I'm not so stressed about whether the house will sell or not. I also can't wait to purge a ton of stuff but need to get motivated to actually do it.

DS is at preschool this morning and has ball practice this evening. I’ve been taking the girls to practice for a different place to run around and play so that’s been good too. So I’ll get the girls outside sometime this morning, probably try to eat outside too, and it will be an afternoon bath day!

I wish we could move just so we could purge. Since there’s no intention of every moving it makes it hard.

I also can't wait to purge a ton of stuff but need to get motivated to actually do it. The thought of selling and then buying was so stressful to me. Our house sold in 5 days. It was crazy fast. Our original plan was to sell our then current home, move in with my parents for a few months or until we found the perfect home and then move again. Well, my parents ended up selling their home a week before ours sold. We started looking at houses as soon as we had an offer, but then kept missing out on the good ones because of multiple offer situations and how competitive it was. I never actually saw the home we’re in right now because I was out of the country for work. MH and realtor did a FaceTime tour for me. But that’s just how it was. If you saw something you liked, you couldn’t sleep on it. In the end, it all worked out. I’m sure the same will happen for you guys! Hopefully it’s quick and painless!

So good appointment for DS. 16 lbs 3 oz, 27”. He’s 70th percentile for weight and 91st for height!! He does have mild torticollis and plagiocephaly (probably bc of the torticollis) so I’m waiting for his doctor to set up a referral to start PT for him. That’s all a waiting game which is stressful but I’m glad we are getting the PT started early and it won’t have a chance to get worse. I had really bad torticollis as a baby an my mom said it was so tough to do the PT with me when I was an older baby bc I’d just cry and cry. At least DS is still young enough it will hopefully correct before he is old enough to protest haha.
Shots went well too, so far so good!

I pumped every 3 hours...today I will try to drink more water as well. I pump every 3 hours - so pump 3 times at work. Typically I produce 13-16oz total. I usually produce the most in my first pump of the day. DS drinks 12oz a day without me there so it works out but I'm always on the brink of worrying. I have a frozen stash JIC.

I’m having a really hard time being patient with DS. I’m usually a really patient person, but I cannot with his behavior. I’m saying things that I regret, and I feel really bad about it. I think I need some time away, but the baby is difficult with other people. My house is always a mess and I feel like I can’t relax until it’s picked up. I also am having a hard time keeping up with eating/ drinking enough and then I feel horrible and get really grumpy. I am just struggling a bit with everything right now.

DS usually drinks 12 oz at daycare and I get either that or another more. Most babies drink 1-1.5 oz per hour. amesie I hear good things about a water ring slingbut I don't have one. So we were out of town and he now likes to roll on his side and suck his thumb to sleep. We got back and now he hates the snoo because he hand roll or put his fingers in his mouth. I'm half relieved and half annoyed that he seems to do better in the pack n play now. He roles belly to back For the first time last night.
