Morning. For whatever reason, I could not fall asleep last night. I don't think I fell asleep until after 12:30. And J was up promptly at 5:45 am. I'm tying to get him to go back down. It's not working. This will be me today:

Weird night here. Went for a glass of wine and apps with my sisters but was home by 7:30. H had his mom come help him.
He was just putting AV down when I got home. She fussed a little as per usual but then woke up wide awake at midnight and couldn't go back to bed until 2:30.
Now she's still sleeping. I'm supposed to be getting ready for work but she's laying on me.
Also I'll have some coffee too. And food. I want eggs and avocado toast right meow.
ETA I don't think I actually mentioned that her sleep had been improving the past few nights - I've just learned never to trust anything when it comes to sleep anymore. For nearly a week she does 6:30/7 to 1am and then 1am to 4:30/5am when she's up for good. She tosses and turns a lot but is good at putting herself back to sleep throughout it.

I'm feeding H. He keeps taking the bottle out to cough/smile/yawn at the same time. It's pretty entertaining.

Any coffee to share waitwhat? So after talking about how good dd sleep has been, of course last night was an awful night. She was acting like she used to when her reflux was bad. So my theory is that she has been spitting out too much medication and it finally caught up with her. Guess I'm on the hunt for small syringes today! Thanks for the tip sophiegrace

All the coffee for me this morning. I just tried to pay for my breakfast with a Kohl's card.
I'm slightly annoyed with H this morning. C has his first cranial osteopathy this morning. H is taking him in and going into work late today. On the other hand, I have a hair appointment at 3 so I need to leave work an hour and a half early. It would have made sense for HIM to take care of C this morning so I can get in early, right? But instead he used this opportunity to sleep in. By the time he finally got up and took over, it was already almost 7 so I got to work at the same time I usually do. His response was "you could have woken me up". I hate when he says that. Feels like a cop out to make him feel better.
So anyway.. this might be the first time he's had to take care of C alone in the morning and try to get out the door for an appointment. I'm kind of hoping it's a little crazy for him.

My family says "saha" after a cough (which is similar to saying bless you) and babies will always fake cough to get more sahas. It's apparently really funny to them. I just always wondered if that was a middle eastern thing or if all babies do it.

Random cough story:
Back when DS1 was learning to say dada and mama, he refused to say mama and would cough instead. You'd say "J, say mama" and he'd do this little cough twice and then look at me and smile. It was the weirdest/cutest thing.

Morning. I also require a caffeine drip. K wanted to nurse every two hours. These guys are exceptionally bad sleepers. On the bright side, tonight they are sleeping over at my parents house and my MIL just texted that she will pick W up this afternoon and keep him tomorrow.
We are starting to deal with our punch list for getting the house ready to sell, and I'm starting with the laundry/utility room. We changed the rusted and leaky washer box and are patching up some wall damage before I get in there and paint it grey, change a light fixture, add a few new shelves, etc. With all the kids gone tonight, H is going to paint some new doors we put up.
Also, trying to figure out some income for me after my time at work is up, I applied for a contract position with an adoption agency (writing grants) and they sent me a bunch of follow-up questions! Their budget for the position is a little more than what I needed so yay!! We'll see how that shakes out.
Busy couple of days here lol

I'll take some coffee over here too. L was up every 30 freaking mins whining, crying, tossing, turning, basically anything but sleeping. The entire time H was snoring away next to me. At one point he said, 'hmm she doesn't seem to happy". Uhh, really, bea abuse that the least helpful thing you have ever said to me. Anyways, I'm WFH today and hoping to get a nap later.

goldenlove my H uses the "you could have woken me up" excuse too. Makes me furious. One day I slammed the door open and said better wake up if you want to see your son before we leave!

Boy moms, what diapers are you using at night? H sleeps on his belly and keeps leaking through his and I use Huggies overnights.

I never bought special diapers for overnight and never had issues until just this week. He seems to be leaking more lately so we'll be sizing up after this box.

I'm afraid if I go up to a 4 they'll be too big. We just switched to size 3s recently. I can get some 4s and try them though. It's not like they won't get used.

tgrimes we've tried a few things over the past 2 years with E. Huggies Snugglers up a size, Huggies overnights in the same size, and we've tried adding in a profold for extra absorbency. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

tgrimes I've put 4s on my little tiny girl (Lillian wears 4s so I've used them in a pinch) and haven't had any big gaps. I have to overlap the tabs, but they work on her.

I'm using today as a get stuff done day. We could go to the splash pad, but I'm not interested in driving almost 20 minutes for a small, uncovered splash pad. Dh wants me to get him at 2, so I have until about 1:30 to work on things. So far, I've gotten Lillian's laundry put away and packed her clothes for the trip. I also found a splash pad that looks nice near our hotel so we can get some of Lillian's energy out on Saturday.
I still need to: Do Lilah's laundry and mine Pack Lilah's clothes Go to Target for dog food, diapers, snacks, and mosquito spray Take the spare key to the person watching our house
Tomorrow will mostly be packing and cleaning. Yay.

(And maybe send some motivation to me) Confession: I've been completely over-sugared the past few days. It helps that I don't want to (or perhaps can't) sit still. And also, all the stuff I am getting done is making me feel like I have *some* control over my life.

We finally pulled the trigger on getting the patio done. It's more than we originally wanted to spend, but we're going to to do the demo ourselves to save a little bit of money. I'm so excited to finally get it this taken care of. We're going to do the tear up this weekend and then the guy is coming out next Thursday to lay the new cement.
