polson ArielMermaid Leaf 🌱 you all are rocking the shirred waist, must be on to something!! mrsmonogrammed I swear I had one of those in my cart a couple days ago!! I liked the scalloped square neck top. I typically have haaated the way high waisted bottoms look on me, but I've also never paired them with a longer top. So I was intrigued. Which one do you like? I've got my eye on the side stroke by Summersalt. I like that they advertise a high quality compression fabric. Having a hard time pulling the trigger, wish I could try it on somewhere!! www.summersalt.com/products/sidestroke

Yep, DS1 was a May15 baby too and tended to be a size behind or right on target, so I'm pretty sure all of his 9 month clothes and a good chunk of his 6 month clothes are long sleeves/pants. Plus DS1 was/is a string bean so he was always at least a size behind in shorts and pants, but DS2's is the chunkiest, especially in the thighs, so I have to find new brands and sizes that will work for him. Not that I don't love shopping for baby clothes! The other kicker is that by 12 month size clothes, I think I'd started to move away from onesies and more to separates. I tend to prefer onesies for the most part till they're walking, though, so I guess I'll be shopping for those, too. Hand-me-downs were supposed to help me save money, darn it. Yes! I was excited to have two of the same sex and save money on clothes. Then DD2 showed up and laughed in my face. I am having this problem too. DS1 had reflux so was still in 3-6 month clothes at 8 months so even though they were both born in March I don't think hand me down are going to always work. I took DS1 to Mexico at that time though so I have some suer stuff but most of it is long sleeves and pants right now. My DH and I were both second siblings of the same gender so we never wanted everything to be hande downs but saving some money would be nice.

How is it I can find something to be anxious about with an easy smiley baby? Pro tip: Don’t google “can a baby smile too much?”
Why am I the way I am?

I am always worrying about something, even when there is nothing obviously wrong. And then I google and find a problem where there isn’t one.

My first baby was too hard and my second baby is too easy. My brain doesn’t know what to do.

I've been asking my H a lot lately if he thinks Elle has some sort of brain damage because the cord was wrapped around her neck and she was blue when she was born.
He's....not being understanding of my insanity.
But seriously, she is the most chill/happy baby. Like...literally never cries unless she's hungry. I'm sure something is wrong.
calendula, I have this one in a different pattern (mine has cupcakes on it) and it's amazing! It fit me well when I was 30lbs lighter but I put it on this weekend and it still looked good!

I won’t lie I’ve thought my newbie has something wrong too - she’s way too happy all the time. Chillaxin. Rarely cries....
Work: I’m pumping. When I left this morning DH went BACK TO BED, and I had to leave baby in the swing.
Lord knows how long she was down there - ALONE.
I haven’t heard from him yet this morning and i prob won’t. I had a rough night (that makes two in a row) and I bet you $1000000 That he exclaims how tired he is when I walk in the door later. Mind you my IL are grabbing the older 3 today so he literally has one child to care for.

calendula I have the sweetheart peplum, I like it, and the V Neck top, I loooove it ! Next I want to try the swing top and the tied up top. I hear the scalloped one runs small so order a size up if you go with that one😊

mrsmonogrammed I’ve never heard of kortnie jeane but I am now obsessed. Their suits are so cute! And their tops aren’t all the regular bikini tops you see at basically every store. No way in hell are my BFing boobs fitting in any of my current tops. I was not planning on buying or wearing a bathing suit this summer but I may have to now!

I got the scalloped top in black and the extended high waist in tomato red. ...I also ordered that summersalt one I posted. I had to return TWO pairs of pricy shoes I ordered from J Crew because my feet grew a half size during this pregnancy and they didn't fit. So I figure I can blow my money on swimsuits instead, lol. Fingers crossed I like at least one of them!

yianna hope your first day back is going well!! Speaking of...I just got an email confirming my return date to work. I’m so not ready. I pretty much have a full on panic attack every time I think of going back. Which is silly bc I love my job and they reached out and asked if I wanted this project on a case that is super prestigious and will do wonders for my career. But I just can’t wrap my head around leaving L yet. We are headed off to the local aquarium with my dad. We had L’s 4 month appointment and shots yesterday so I’m hoping he’s in an okay mood today.

Happy birthday big bro calendula ! Are you guys doing anything fun to celebrate? Well I made him cinnamon swirl french toast for breakfast. DH brought 40 popsicles to summer camp at lunch today for all the kids. He requested spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. His party for all his friends is on Saturday, as is his family party which is at our house that night. Rolling rally, haha! My handsome guy enjoying some bday treats:

You guys are talking about bathing suits and I’m still pretending like it’s not 2 weeks until we are at the lake for a week. I can lose 30lbs in 2 weeks right?

Also, guess what? In the ongoing saga of the basement reno, we were finally able to move one couch and a chair out of the living room into the basement. And put a bed in the basement so my poor dad doesn’t have to bunk up with L when he comes to work.
The baby still doesn’t have a room and we are still living like sardines with maybe one or two less sardines in the can, but I have hope it might actually happen one day.

Can I whine a bit?
I’m so tired. Overall DS isn’t that bad at night sleep (compared to DS1) but I think I’ve hit that cumulative lack of sleep physical exhaustion. My whole body is weak but not like flu, just tired. I’m clumsy and frustrated and brain foggy. So many bruises from misjudging doorways, bumping into table corners, etc. Sick of holding/having a baby on me all day long (won’t go down for a nap for more than 30 minutes and that goes too fast to do more than eat something and clean something). Plus he weighs a ton and my back is not happy.

So I swore Elle has been teething. She hasn't been grumpy but she chews on anything she can get in her mouth.
Well she just got my finger in there, and she does have a tooth poking through on the bottom!!

calendula Happy Birthday to your DS! yianna I hope your first day back at work went okay and quickly. cornpop L drools so much and is always chewing on his finger I figure there must be a tooth getting ready to come thru soon. I hope your DD has little pain with the tooth coming in. We went for a walk on the local trail tonight. It was so disheartening seeing all the terrible graffiti that had been spray painted on the trail. I know police have been trying to catch who has been doing it.
