I'm sorry chrisy01. I'm glad you get to say goodbye. I hope you feel better @melaniesue05. Can you take a break some night?

Cher, that's very exciting! Do you have family staying with you/helping? Nope. MH will go back to work pretty much immediately and I'm putting the boy in camp full-time for the first week we're home, so it will be just me and the new babe. I think it will surprise no one that we're taking our first family vacation when he's 2 weeks old, so MH will be taking off work and hanging out with us. That's awesome. Mh went back to work right away and started traveling after 3 weeks. It was tough w 2. I wish he had taken some time for a vacation! Glad you are putting him In camp full time. Having day care for S in the beginning was a lifesaver

Cher Dh was teaching C how to use the remote this weekend. He shares your goals of sleeping in on the weekend. Lol, this is hilarious. I've just taught B to use the 'last' button. I set up for his shows in the morning and I get to either lay in bed for a few minutes without him bothering me or be able to tend to J and have a hot cup of coffee before the craziness starts. I have a smidgen of guilt and then convinced myself it's a maternity leave perk for both of us that will end when I go back to work.

Hi, morning all!
I've got a lady coming to price out some new blinds for a window and her title includes the words 'interior designer', I get so weird about what people think of my house because I put alot of work and love into it and apparently hate to be judged.
This is so unlike me in general so I'll just try and get through the appointment before I try and psychoanalyze why.
Then I've got to call my deck contractor and figure out why there's no one working in my yard.
Exciting stuff over here...

Apparently I am behind, B has no idea how to turn the TV on, much less prepare any sort of breakfast! Forget night PT and writing. I think she needs morning skills instead.

Edmonton? They have been pretty vague on details. The offer was accepted when I was on the plane. So I was the last to find out. My mom told me 2 hours into the drive to their house. If it's Edmond, that's only a few minutes from where my sister lives. We'll have to plan a vacation together! snoopmommymom can come too! One of my sisters live in Edmond too!

Also my phone screen was pretty short - about 20min. So naturally I don't think I did well. The recruiter said she would let me know by Friday if they would like to meet me for an interview. I feel like if she really had an interest in me, she would've arranged an interview right then and there. Oh well.

From the time I was in grade school and couldn't burn down my house, my parents slept in and we fended for ourselves weekend mornings. Basically poured ourselves some cereal and plopped in front of the cartoons. I plan to do the same. I like sleep. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Exact same

trtlcrzy yes. I already had it done. Do not have the funds to do it again two weeks later. I put a cover over it so it won't cut my fingers. I'll do it eventually again but I just can't deal with it right now. I almost ran Carter to the fire station. He got a toy stuck on his finger and it was purple from blood getting cut off. I was scared urgent care would take too long. Adam finally got it off and I haven't stopped crying. I'm on emotional overload right now. I just told my parents what happened and cried all over again. I need a vacation from life right now 😭 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yikes that's scary! Do you live close to a fire station? I wouldn't have thought to go there.

wedding we are leaving tomorrow to visit my parents. I'll get a good break then. I'm not sleeping for some reason and usually melatonin works but lately it hasn't been. So I'm awake but groggy and sleepy. It's torture. I kind of go through these emotional cycles. It hits once a year. I get a bit of the blue and cry over everything. I'm just stressed with general life stuff. I tend to shoulder it alone until I break. It's a terrible habit and adam is always willing to help. I just have trouble accepting it. I want to believe I can handle it all. mskatiep we live really close to two fire stations. I don't even know if they could have helped but calling 911 seemed excessive and urgent care too long. I guess the ER would have been a logical move 🤷🏻♀️ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

melaniesue I'm glad he's ok! So scary! chrisy01 I'm really sorry about Newman. I feel like I will never get to sleep in because at his current rate, Evan will be tall enough to reach the fridge and pantry to make breakfast at 15.

Basically poured ourselves some cereal and plopped in front of the cartoons. I plan to do the same. I like sleep. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Same. I was also a latchkey kid. Came home after school by myself to an empty house. Same. Well, my three siblings and I. We basically ate a ridiculous amount of snacks and watched Saved by the Bell until our parents got home.

Will you guys be flying or driving? Driving. We're just going to my il's beach house. I just figured if it's going to be nice out and I'm going to be in newborn hell, might as well be in newborn hell at the beach and (primarily!) wine vineyards.

melaniesue, I think it would be really smart to go to the fire station! Chances are they could help, they are mostly all paramedics/EMTs anyway. Doubt they would bill you for it either lol! I like your logic tgrimes, Would LOVE that! I'm a bad aunt and missed my nephews graduation since it was the weekend that we were moving, so I'm due for a visit to OK! Are you there now or did you get back home already?

Our computers are down again at work. This is the third time since I started with them in January. The IT company has no idea what happened and our head of IT person barely knows how to work our system so he's no help.

I say that all the time. I'm far more unsure of myself with a lot of things than I was the 1st time around. It's weird Josie was a real unicorn. The first time we had any trouble with her she was 22 months old and it lasted for about a month. 2 months into Charlie's life and we had sleep, food, and poop issues. I try to ask myself if he were my first if I would think the situation was bad and the answer is usually no. It's just that I'm comparing it to my experience with Josie which was so easy. Again, exact same. I am constantly reminding myself not to compare them.

Are you there now or did you get back home already? I came back home Saturday. I'm thinking of making another trip up there for my sister's 40th in November. It's between the 2 kids' birthdays though so I'm not sure if I'll be able to swing it. I'll keep y'all updated though!
