I want today to be my Friday, but I have one more day and then cannot wait to enjoy a long weekend! We’ll be working in the yard...which is surprisingly fun to me 🤷🏼♀️
Nothing exciting going on today. P woke up at 5:45 babbling and starving, which is nice she doesn’t wake up crying as often. I somehow managed to feed her, get her ready for daycare and make myself look presentable for work and got to work on time. On Thursday’s MH takes DD1 to daycare so I don’t have to get both girls out the door so it’s a lot less stressful.

Yes! So cute! I was hoping there were shorts or capris for baby instead of a full outfit but I may have to go for it since everything is on sale. Cute for the 4th I think!

We have a busy long weekend coming up. Maybe listing it all out will keep me on track.
Friday - baby finally gets her 4 mo shots and an ear check from her ear infection, meet with architect to make changes to house floor plan, leave for the mountains
Saturday - Tweetsie Railroad with the girls
Sunday - pack and move stuff to storage
Monday - pack and move stuff to storage in the morning and pool in the afternoon
When we get the draft back from the architect I may ask for some opinions. I want to see it with our initial changes and think about it for a little bit and get input before we go in for final changes.

I wish I had a four day weekend, but since I will have a full week off around the 4th I'm not going to complain now.
Faith had another good night, woke up at 4:00 and then around 6:30 but I was able to cuddle her back to sleep in our bed and she woke up at 9:00. These dream feeds are making a world of difference in her sleep but I'm not sure how much is the extra meal and how much is possibly the end of the 4 month sleep regression. It's working so that is all that matters, plus since she is on the smaller side I'll keep doing this for awhile to help her grow.

Uuuugh I’m tired. I don’t know if we’ve hit the 4m regression or if it’s her teeth, but she’s been waking up every 2-3 hours the past few nights. I want my unicorn sleeper back 😭
We have her 4m apt today. Not looking forward to the extra fussiness after her shots, especially since she’s been extra fussy lately already. At least dd1 will be with MIL.

We were up 3 times last night. I sound like a broken record but these short stints of sleep are draining me. DS1 was not listening at all this morning and I’m hoping it doesn’t carry into his day. We have his art show tonight.

sarahh that's exciting!! Well- not the packing & moving part. We are going to be starting to clear our land this weekend for our new house. Hoping to break ground at the end of June, although I realize that probably won't happen. I am not looking forward to that, it is supposed to be in the upper 80s this weekend and the ticks have been insane this year...eww

stephne, that's exciting! I'm getting stressed about finalizing the floor plan tomorrow. We have to have the floor plan appraised before we can get the construction loan. I am so indecisive on stuff that it's hard to sign off on it so early in the process.

I am so indecisive on stuff that it's hard to sign off on it so early in the process. We are waiting on the appraisal right now so we are almost in the exact same spot. Although I have had my floor plan set for almost 2 years. It can be hard to try to think of every little thing, thats why I have asked a ton of people their thoughts. Which have been great for things I didn't think about, but I also had to learn to tell people "thanks for the advice but I don't think I'm going to go that route "

Just got home from H’s 4 month apt. Man I hate those shots. But she’s 16lb (93%) and 26.25in (98%). My little chunk

I was given DS’s kindergarten registration papers when I picked him up from preschool today, as much as I knew it was coming I still almost felt like choking up while talking to the kindergarten teacher lol! I’ll also be registering DD1 for preschool soon too.
When H gets off work today we’re all going up to the city to run some errands. We’re splitting up for locations and I’ll be with just N for some of it so I’ll have some rare alone time with her, even if it’s just doing exchanges and returns lol!

Where was it that everyone was looking at wallpaper? It was the awesome floral? I think ajetter put it up in her nursery? I'm drawing a blank.

I have one needy baby. He does not want to be put down today. I could barely get DS1 down for nap because little one was crying to be held. I love baby cuddles but I'm getting touched out.

Nope, a month earlier. He was due 1/4, born 12/29. We think he's teething but ugh. So clingy. And there's no daycare tomorrow. We will see how this goes!

Hey ladies, today was a busy day. We went to the local zoo with DS1’s class this morning and 2 hours at the park this afternoon. I’ve been trying to get ds2 to go to sleep solo (ish) and minus the swaddle and let me tell you it sucks. If I was super rich I seriously would just throw money at the problem. I just want to be able to put him down and him go to sleep, to save my sanity. I don’t understand why they have to learn sleep is great!

jessijean , when was your due date? Mine was 2/7...was yours right around then? I ask bc V was acting clingy to me today too and I checked and we are just getting into the fourth leap! DS was born 2/12 (due 2/18)- what happens around the 4th leap? DS was up every 2 hours last night for the first time since he was a few weeks old. He napped a LOT the past few days too. Is this a sign a leap is starting? I don't know much about the leaps or what to look for!

Is this a sign a leap is starting? I don't know much about the leaps or what to look for! I feel like it depends on the baby...DS wanted to nurse all.the.time. when he was going through a leap. But DD doesn't necessarily want that, but she is very happy with me in the Tula or just being held. I think my parents ended up holding her for all her naps yesterday. I think this one has something to do with transitions, I forget the details though! I think it will still be another week or two before your LO gets into his fourth leap if he is "on schedule." Or he could be in the third, that one is right around 3 months I think and they are based on due date. I like the app (look for "Wonder Weeks"), I don't look at it all the time but if she's acting particularly cranky, I check and then if she's in a leap it at least makes me feel like there is a reason!

Omg, the 4th leap is the literal worst. Hugs to everyone there. We just got out of leap 3 a week ago and now I know from experience everything moves at a much faster pace!
