Quiet around these parts!
So for today's Tuesday, tell me two things. Any two things!

1. We organized our garage this weekend. I've been wanting to do it for awhile and it wasn't super hot so we took care of it. We moved some metal shelves (mismatched) to the basement, installed Ikea shelves (solid pine) on the back wall, sorted through stuff (keep, toss, sell/donate) and then put like items together and put some things in storage tubs to keep everything contained. Our next step is to install some wire shelving along another wall and then move our outdoor decorations (mostly Christmas lights and door wreaths) to those shelves to free up space in the basement. Then of course we need to do the same thing with the basement, the storage are becomes a dumping ground and we need a place to put the baby gear Faith is outgrowing until we decide if we are having another or not. Anyway, the garage looks a lot better and we aren't even finished yet!
2. We are making some progress on the sleep front. Faith is still waking up multiple times a night, but so far she isn't demanding to be picked up and held. We can usually get her to go back to sleep with a few pats on the back and plugging in a pacifier. She even slept through the night on Saturday! I suspect some of this might be teething because she was super cranky last night (plus all the drool and chewing on everything) but so far I don't see any different with her gums.

Good morning!
I'm sitting here while my son works on a workbook that had leftover pages from school.
DD is napping, and we will take her to baby group / public health drop in after lunch.
Last night I made DS a lego table for the car out of a bed table from ikea. I'll pip it later once it's all dry.

1. After todays weight in for WW I am back to pre-DD2 weight. I still have more to go but I'm happy to reach the first milestone!
2. Our house went on the market yesterday and we had our first showing yesterday afternoon. The people didn't think the floorplan worked for them but at least we have one under our belt!

1. My nipple pain is getting better so I'm assuming it was thrush like suspected. Yay for less pain! 2. We bought a new (to us) camper yesterday. Very impulse decision but ours is falling apart and this one is in much better condition. Still a pop up so not much difference but it's a step in the direction of a larger one. We only jumped on it because we know the owners.

Hi! I am here but barely. I worked until 11 last night so I am exhausted. G’s new teacher started yesterday so she has sessions 4-6 Monday through Friday which is making my schedule all crazy. I have also been deep in the rescues of the Thai boys. They have all been rescued including the coach and I am sooooo happy for them and their families.

1. DD2 learned to sleep on her belly last night. I was terrified, but she seems to actually love sleeping on her belly. I shouldn’t be terrified, right?
2. We have 3 vehicles. All of them need work done this week. I love how the planets align and everything happens at once.
Bonus: I caught my dishwasher on fire over the weekend. That was fun. And scary. I bought new baby spoons and wanted to wash them. It said top rack only so I set them on the top rack. Just as MH was about to go to sleep, he asked if I had just blown out a candle because that’s what it smelled like. I hadn’t so we went frantically looking for a fire. Opened the dishwasher and so much smoke billowed out of it. All 6 spoons were melted to the bottom of my dishwasher. Burning plastic is not a good smell. 🤷🏼♀️

Hi! I’ve been MIA
1. Our first camping trip last week went great! First time doing it with 3 kids and it was hot as balls. But we were able to spend lots of time on the lake on my aunt and uncles boat so that was the best way to keep cool and have fun!
2. Yesterday was our 7th wedding anniversary!

Hi y’all. Just finished working out & about to make lunch for me & DD. Another shitty sleep night over here...I think we got messed up somehow bc DS is eating sooooo much MOTN & then not taking a good first feeding of the day until like 10am. So I’m going to try make them short & sweet the next few nights & see if that helps. I’m exhausted...tired of this up every 3 hours Crap. Starting solids next week so hopefully that will help!
DD had her first swim lesson today! We have it every morning this week & next week. She was the most comfortable in the water by far and she had SO much fun. A few kids were scared & crying so we talked about that afterwards (I don’t want her to think she needs to be scared bc they were). But omg it was MF hot. She is in the first class at 9am I figured it wouldn’t be so hot out yet buuuut it was. Bringing DS’ stroller fan tomorrow!!

Hi everyone! DS will be 5 months Thursday and I'm so sad about how fast time is going 😭 I think the 4 month sleep regression hit us late, last week was rough and he was up every 3 hours. The past two nights he's been back to giving me at least a 6 hour stretch so I hope this lasts!! I have to AW some pics from 4th of July because he was so cute 😍

1-Went with kids to storytime. Felt like a boss as I nursed DD and helped DS with his craft all at the same time.
2-Also felt like I was #winning the mom thing yesterday when I took them to my work to grade an exam, then to the beach and stopped at Chick-fil-a for lunch. Of course right now I feel like I'm getting the hang of being a mom to 2 so things are going to change any minute now and it will get hard again. Right? Or other experienced moms, does it just keep getting easier from here? (in general I mean, I know there are tough times with both ahead at some points!!)

The baby slept through the night for the first time in weeks last night! That was great but I was up for an hour due to stress.
I got rear ended last night with the baby in the car. Thankfully we weren’t going that fast so no one was injured, but it scared the crap out of me. I’m hoping the damage can be fixed and the frame wasn’t damaged. I can’t handle it if the car is a write off. It’s now such a hassle trying to arrange a car rental (need a SUV for wedding cake deliveries) and have to find GE time to go get a new car seat. There is no where in town that sells the brand we have.

Faith has been getting better at eating solids so I'm starting to sent 1/2 a jar with her to day care to let them feed her. We don't consistently have the time in the evening and she needs practice. She is still tired & a little cranky after she gets home and bottles are so much faster and easier. Maybe I should have saved that for Friday confessions? lol

aprilz81, thats what we do. Daycare does the food around lunchtime each day. Until we add a second "meal" I am just going to continue having them do it.

1) Baby has been waking up so much lately. Every two hours overnight, for at least a week now. WHYYYY. And her naps have been crap too. I really thought that since she now sleeps in pnp at night and crib for naps (when we’re home) that she’d sleep better, but nope.
2) We have new neighbors and they seem really nice and I’m excited. They’re a young couple with a baby due in December. We’re having them over Thursday for a BBQ. Yay new friends! 🙌🏻

1) my baby slept better overnight at 5 weeks than now at 5 months
2) I’m really tired of starting everyday around 4:45/5. DS2 did this to us from 4 months to 2.5 years and it sucked the life out of us. Hoping this is more of a passing phase.

Our daycare provides food so they give baby food. At dinner I just throw some mum mums on his tray

I didn't do my own two things!
1- just waiting for an answer on the job I've been interviewing for. I'm very impatient. I should hear next week but, Friday would be awesome!
2- next week's staycation is just what I need. I was really not ready to go back to work but we could not go without the pay. We're going to go to an amusement park, the beach, the zoo, the pool, maybe Lego or Crayola, and I'm just really excited for quality fun family time.
