DD2 is definitely saying mama with intention now. There were a few days I wasn't sure if it was mama or mum mum (girl loves food), but it is definitely mama. ❤

I need to meal plan today, speaking of cooking. Usually I do it on Saturday mornings but our day was crazy yesterday.

Got the baby down for a nap, I'm going to shower, and run out to get a couple errands done. My friend is due tomorrow with her first and so far, baby is just hanging out. Her doc thought sometime this weekend, but 🤷. She's team green too so she's really in for all the surprises ha ha. She told dh that people keep asking her if the baby was born yet and its really annoying. I haven't ever been that pregnant but I can imagine it's annoying af.

Give me all the leftovers. DH doesnt really like them but I no currrr. He eats what I serve.
My friend just had her first baby. Tramautic birth experience and genetic complications. She lives an hour away but the baby is here in the NICU. I feel so bad for her. This is not how she envisioned her welcome to motherhood.

Well I bit the bullet and signed up for weight watchers. I’ve never used them before but I know people who have had great success with it. I’m tired of not fitting in my clothes and I just have no real time to exercise. I need to do something. I’m just not happy with the way I am. I sit here too. I renewed my noom membership the other day.

I'm so sorry for your friend @snuff986 that has to be rough.
After fighting his nap my kid ended up sleeping 5:30p-6a with a dream feed in there. He woke up super cranky so after he ate he got some Tylenol and then slept another 1.5 hours. I anticipate some more teeth making an appearance soon. Currently prepping then dinner at my parents later.

Nice laurensc927, a pretty good night! Haha quinn, I thought we had talked leftovers before. I'm fine with them and I don't really care if DH likes them or not. If he's not going to cook a fresh meal, then he can eat leftovers too. I could see DD going straight to walking possibly, she likes standing. Hi jenn83, glad the sickness is gone! roloma, our fair isn't until September long weekend, but I'm looking forward to it, have fun! grumpycat, good luck to your friend, hope the baby comes soon snuff9861, sorry to hear about your friend's baby, that must be stressful for her. thatgolfb 😍 mama already? DD has just started babbling mama. I think she now gets that Dada is Dada, haha. Good luck with ww sarahandben108, I have heard it's a pretty sustainable program. Do you ever use the skinny taste website?

snuff9861 I’m sorry for your friend and her baby. Like grumpycat I’m v v particular about my leftovers. H is not, so I have to proclaim I will be eating something before it gets put away or it is gone. Leftovers =\= meal prep and cooking meat to be used later to make a meal. Storage cubes should be here today so I can clean up the open shelves in the dining room/kitchen. They are SO nice for storage, but I can’t not see the clutter and it is driving me bonkers. A is still sleeping in his Woombie, it is more like a big blanket around him than a swaddle. We can randomly confess in here, right?

Everyone's baby is crawling and pulling up and mine is still rolling everywhere then flops on his belly like a fish and whines "mama" until I pick him up 😔 Mine’s still a big lump. You’re not alone. Lol. Mine is rolling everywhere but that's it...

I was MOTY today and took E out for a run in the rain. The stroller mostly keeps her covered, and it was only a light rain, so I decided to go for it. I dilly dallied this morning after our early wake up and didn’t feel ready to run until H was leaving to meet up with a friend. I refused to skip my run, so E’s feet got a bit wet. I’m sure my neighbors were judging me.

It’s my favorite running weather, and E was babbling happily the whole time. I’m sure there are people who would judge a baby in the rain though. lol

I’m tired of not fitting in my clothes and I just have no real time to exercise. I need to do something. I’m just not happy with the way I am. I understand that feeling. What helped me was what my boss, who is incredibly athletic, etc., told me: took 9 months to create the baby and it will take at least a year to feel more like yourself, given post partum recovery, etc. She told me to be kind to myself. I share in case it makes you feel better. I guess I was spoiled after N because once I had him the weight pretty much fell off right away. But by the time I got pregnant with E I was already starting to gain weight. I gained pretty much the same with both pregnancies but I know my metabolism isn’t the same. I’m turning 40 in a couple of months and starting to feel it a bit.

I miss having lump babies. Dd2 is very active and it's a whole new world for me.
She has recently started taking bottles less. She either goes longer between feedings or doesn't finish her usual amount. She doesn't seem to be in pain or get angry during feedings, she just pushes the bottle away with disinterest. I may call the pedi tomorrow to make sure nothing sounds wrong.

DH doesn't care for leftovers, I'm pick about them. I'm kind of weird about meal prep, too, and prefer to make things fresh if I'm able.
I'll only be around for dinner 2 nights this week because of work and a beach trip with friends. I don't think DH has ever cooked this much in one week, so it will be interesting.

The boys both have grandparent hangovers and DH and I have actual hangovers. Send help.
Last night was crazy fun though! Foreigner rocked and I got some amazing Reuben egg rolls.

Also teething and leaps will mess with their bottle but they'll happily take solids because it hurts less.

I may call the pedi tomorrow to make sure nothing sounds wrong. C is so active and into EVERYTHING. E was so chill and didn't get into things. We never baby proofed. C exhausts me. I wish she was a lump. C is also self weaning on nursing. Girl loves real food and is losing interest in milk, though she nurses a lot when she sleepy. During the day though she's very uninterested. I think a lot of it is that the time spent nursing takes away from play and rumpus time, because active baby. And at this point she's starting to prefer fruit and raviolis.

I enjoyed my lump baby for a couple months. Now he's almost as bad as the 3.5 year old. At least he's kind of slow so I can catch him still.
Ds2 is working on more teeth. He keeps nibbling me while nursing. GR.
Dh and I started refinishing our coffee table today and sadly it's not all wood so I think we are just going to sand and paint the top. Oh well.

Super late to this party (yay head cold), but wanted to say: So many hugs for your friend, snuff9861. N is also a lump. He really, really wants to crawl but still hasn't worked the mechanics. Leftovers are the best.
