My DD was singing the Little Einsteins theme song, but she was calling them "Little Nice Guys."

My kids just broke the leg off of their unicorn zoomer. So I’m just going to start lighting my money on fire instead of buying them things.

I declared this an afternoon of me.
We are leaving tomorrow for almost a month and so I speed cleaned the house, made a list of the rest of what needs to be packed, took the dog for a walk, started a new book, started dinner in the IP and am currently soaking in the tub with a face mask and pretty smelling salts.
SO and the kids went on a bike ride to get ice cream. Win. Win.

Lately all I do is housework, work work, and homework on repeat. DS's last day of school is Friday- it's a half day so I'm trying to think of something exciting we can do in the afternoon- I already promised him we'd go to Rita's but I need more summer fun in my life. S1 is lobbying to go see Incredibles 2 after his half day/last day This is on my radar but I think it will be super crowded and I also like to save movies for rainy days. It looks really good though!

Get a trunki run on case? H vetoed those, for god knows why. We leave in the morning, but I’m going to insist on them for our next flight. Backpack leash? He can walk, but you have hold of him.

DS has been missing me so I’m thinking of doing something fun with him this Friday too. Not sure what yet. Maybe a museum.

$175 gift card and some small gift, like chocolate, coffee, coffee cup, yeti water cup As a former kindergarten teacher, I beg you, do not give her a coffee cup. We get sooooo many and, if she's like me, she feels obligated to keep them all I totally got my son’s kindergarten teacher a coffee cup. It’s so cute. But also got her a few others things. I’m also a teacher and I love all the cutesy cups. 😂 I would love a good yeti water bottle.

I didn't think about teacher gifts because we won't leave pre-k until right before kinder starts in August, but I do want to get his teacher something since he's had her for two years and she's a saint. One of my bff works for klean kanteen so sweet water bottle sounds like a great idea.

H is working late and the kid is in bed. I’m debating between wine and gelato. Tbh I feel strongly that you should have both I’ll see what I can do. I don’t want to let you down.

So for those that have two or more kids, what happens if you go into labor in the middle of the night? That is my worry. Like we have people on standby-do you wait for them to come to the house or do you bring your kid (who is sleeping) to the hospital?
I so wish we had a scheduled birth. Lol.

DD2 was a middle of the night baby and neither of our caregivers answered their phones. So we took a sleeping DD1 to the hospital and a kind nurse took her to get ice cream when it was go time. It was not ideal but what were we gonna do. I had enough warning time with number 3 that DH’s parents took the kids. So my answer is basically: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As a newly branded mother of two, we waited for my mother in law to get there, but we had given her warning earlier in the night that we would likely need her. She also lives like 10 minutes away, which obviously helped things.

It's been a day, DS had his circumcision today and has been cranky since. He's peed through 3 sleepers and I have a fever. I don't think it's mastitis, but I have a call into my midwife just in case.
No drinking, straight to bed after the baby falls asleep.

I had a scheduled induction with #2, so we had care. But if I didn’t, we would have taken #1 with us and had my ILs drive down. It would’ve taken them 5-6 hours from where they lived at the time.

We had a list with times and people who knew they were on call. I ended up having a teacher take a cab to my house at midnight. We also had a plan if I had to take them with me.

My brother somehow convinced my 5 year old that weeding is fun. He got him to help weed a pretty long stretch of my parents’ garden for $1. And apparently he wants to go back tomorrow to “finish that weeding!”

DS was a middle of the night baby. My stepdad stayed with DD1 and we waited (what felt like forever) for him to get to our house. DS was born less than 2 hours after we got there so it was a little tight but it worked out. I was induced with #3 so we got to plan it all out.

Please take care of yourself and don't hesitate to be seen if you think something is wrong.

They came to the house and watched DS1 while DH and I left for the hospital. Once I had DS2, they waited until DS1 was awake, then fed him, got him ready, and then came to the hospital.

Our plan was to take DS1 with us for H to drop me at the hospital and then take DS1 back home for the babysitter to come. We ended up with a scheduled induction though, so we never actually had to do it.

Ds3 was a middle of the night guy. I called my parents and woke up and packed up two kids and we dropped them there on the way to the hospital. My mom put them to bed again. With ds2 we had my mother wait at the house with Ds1 until mil could drive up. My labors are longish though.

I just have a feeling I will go into labor tonight-the ONE night DD has a strict medicine schedule. She has to be woken up at 12:30am and 6:30am to take 9 pills each time because why wouldn’t it hay.

Ohmygosh today was hard. Baby who doesn’t sleep was up allll day, mostly shouting at me. Now the day is over and it’s time to be up all night with the shouty baby.
Plus my mom is in town, which always manages to really bum me out.

We had a list of people who were on call for us. They knew when I went full term that we could possibly call in the middle of the night. If they are on the way to the hospital see if you can have your child stay there. I also would suggest giving them a bag of things before hand just so they are ready. If your child is staying at your house just have everything ready and schedules/emergency contacts easily seen.

I went into labor with S2 during a snowstorm and while H was incapacitated with norovirus. We also had incompetent contractors replacing our kitchen countertops that had been destroyed by hurricane Sandy. Quite the adventure.

We had to schedule a tympanoplasty for DS2 today. I would've rather waited until the tube came out on its own, but on the other hand, it'll be nice to have the same ENT do it (which won't happen if we waited another month).
DS2 is three and will have had anesthesia more times than the rest of combined.
