I'm at work. I got distracted by a shutterfly email for a free puzzle though so I'm making that instead of working. M is going to love it!

Guys. MH is on the way here from the airport. He's trying to surprise me but I know all things. Mostly because he charged it all on our bank account instead of a credit card so I saw all the transactions.... duh 🤔.
I feel bad lying but I guess I should just continue to pretend like I don't know.... 😬

Morning! I'm drinking coffee and deciding if I want to go to the gym or not. Dh is working a half day from home and then we are heading up to flagstaff for the weekend. Our plan is to stay in a hotel tonight and go check out puppies, then camp at the lake tomorrow and play Saturday by ear. These plans were made before me kicked in so if I'm feeling sick we may scrap the camping plans. Re: 4th of July. Dh took the whole week off and we're heading to cali to stay with my in-laws. I'm excited for a week of minimum parenting for me! Also, this is exciting. So dh has worked for his company for 10 years. They have always been incredibly generous with time off and when we had each of the babies he was able to take at least two weeks off and then staggers going back (half days, only tues/thurs etc) for several weeks after. Well, guess what? They now offer SIX FREAKING WEEKS of paid PATERNITY!!! Woah. I'd get pregnant just to take advantage of that!

I always knew if he was going to surprise me because he'd be like "hey uh.. Don't check our bank account for like 4 days.." Now we each have credit cards lol.

sands42 aw, it's sweet he's trying to surprise you. You can have the house clean, makeup and cute clothes on, kids dressed and then play it off like "what?? It's always like this when your gone!" (Maybe your house is like that, but when dh was gone we pretty much lived like animals!) And yes... a puppy. <sigh> this was talked about a month or so ago and we decided it might be a good time to get another and let Landon and Lucas really have responsibilities with it. Of course this was before I knew I was pregnant, but Landon knows we are looking so we don't want to back out. But it's basically, if the absolute right one is there we will get it, if not we will wait. And I told dh this is all him and the boys. I'm not taking the puppy out at night or cleaning up shit... I'll be doing enough of that in eight months!

nam2013 FX DD sleeps that well from here on out! sands42 Practice your surprise face in the mirror. Lol xolastunicornxo I'm so happy for you guys. 6 weeks is unheard of! A lot of women don't even get that. I got no paid leave, only unpaid. Will you be finding out the sex ahead of time or waiting?

Morning. I was home from the grocery store before 9 and had dinner going in the crockpot by 9:30. Who is this productive person?! I don't even recognize myself today. Lol.

snoopmommymom I know it's crazy. When I worked after I had Landon I didn't get any paid leave, I got 6 weeks fmla. And when they put the policy in place like six months ago, they backdated it to anyone who had had a child within the last year. It's a good company.

I was trying to see if the funk I was in would pass, but today it seems to want to hang around.
I love being home with my kids, but some days I wish there were just a few more hours in each day, so I might have a tiny bit of time to myself. Charlie got up at 6:20 and is not napping this morning. Dance in a half an hour, and then a picnic for preschool. Hoping to be home by two to see if he'll nap then. And I'll feel no shame in putting on something for Josie while I sit on the couch with my eyes closed and order Mexican for dinner. Just one week till MH is home for the summer!!

yummeecookee , we are going up north the whole week of the 4th. I can't wait!! Have a great time! I am excited now that C is older and can play a little more. It was so nice when we went up this past weekend because C was super independent and I didn't have to worry about him AS much. Like, he could go out on the dock independently or play in the shallow water without me right next to him. Like your C, L was able to play more this year! She loved being walked out onto the dock and playing in the sand and stuff. We have a water table, pool, sprinkler, ect up there too which helps.

I'm at work. I got distracted by a shutterfly email for a free puzzle though so I'm making that instead of working. M is going to love it! That seems reasonable. Okay, I got a puzzle, 2 notepads and a desk plaque. It was all free, I just had to pay for shipping. {Spoiler Alert} I had to do 2 separate orders so shipping cost me $33.50. Totally not worth it but I spent so much time making these that I had to get them.
That's how they get you.

sands42, aw! How sweet. Enjoy the time together!! xolastunicornxo, 6 weeks of paid paternity leave is amazing! MH's company, like most companies I believe, doesn't do any paid paternity.

6 weeks sounds good until it's 2 weeks in and you just want him to go back to work because watching him play video games is just annoying the eff out of you while you try to bf a constantly crying child.....I mean....from my experience. BUT, you have a good h who actually helps, so I'm sure it will rock for you guys. ETA: mh is better at the caring for children thing now, we were both very new at it all....although I'm not sure it would be any different if I had a 2nd. I would probably tell him, "eh, I'm good, you go back to work. I can handle it."
