How fun!
DD is sleeping soundly so far on her first night in the crib. It's so weird not having her in the bassinet right next to me but I know the transition needs to be done, and better to do it now when I have a three-day weekend and DH is (mostly) off from work this week. Don't mind me while I stare at the video monitor all night.
Gross alert: my kid has been Code Brown-ing every single bath lately so I put him on the toilet beforehand tonight and let him watch a video on my phone for a few minutes and WALLA--pooped in the toilet. I have no interest in PTing for a long time yet but I do have great interest in not bleaching my bathtub three times a week.

That trip sounds like a lot of fun.
My daughter is still awake. My husband is in charge of her at bedtime. I am annoyed that she is still awake, but it is not my problem.
Tonight I tucked M in and said goodnight. He replied, "Goodnight Jen" super seriously, and then burst into hysterical giggles. He has never called me by my first name before, and apparently he thinks it is a funny thing to do.

Boys are currently in the bath. Going to get DS2 down soon and then start packing while DS1 does some activity or watches TV.
I'm taking the boys and the dog toy parents cabin in the mountains tomorrow. About 2 hours away. DH is gone at a work training out pf town all weekend and even though its going to be a lot of work getting the kids there, at least I'll have help from my parents all weekend. Better than being home all weekend by myself.
Dd got better chocolate than I did for valentines AND princess stickers! . I kid. Dh did great. Baby fell asleep at 6:30. She'd been yawning since 5. We shall see how it goes
My dad came up to watch the baby so H and I could go out to dinner and a movie, it was nice. I had my first real drink since May and was pretty buzzed. Too bad for MH I'm not cleared for sex yet(and he has to work tonight and the movie was in between dinner and home so I'm fine now...). Feeding the baby now and hoping for some decent sleep, I'm oddly tired.
We are 2 hrs behind normal bedtime. We are at my mom's to help her arrange things for my step dad's funeral. It was a 3 hr drive down here and now a fussy baby. We will be here till Wednesday so hopefully he gets in a grove here.

Sometimes I wish I used Twitter, because I actually feel like I have clever comments about the Olympics, but then I'm glad I don't. I know that no one else will be as impressed with my thoughts as I am.
Twenty minutes later he's out. A fair bit of crying, but not as much as nap time in December.
This was my first time putting him down for the night. At this age I've heard it's easier if dad does it because if mom is in the room he just wants to be with mom. It seems to have worked!
I can't sleep. I have an awful headache. H is snoring and randomly shaking. DD grunts in her sleep. She's been asleep for 2+hours. I'm going to regret being awake this last tomorrow.
in the MM category - i must be an idiot because twice in recent history i have been charged interest on my credit card despite paying it off in full every month. we have used this card for 5 years, i've called the bank to verify that they haven't changed the billing cycle, and yet something is off in my brain because suddenly i cannot handle this simple task. WTF? they waived the interest charges when this happened in December as a one time favour so i wasn't able to plead my way into their good graces again tonight.
i just paid it off in full and am going to cash only for a couple weeks to make sure the card is completely paid off before venturing back. this will probably be a good thing for our budget anyway.
@bunnybean, not too late! I say try it again in a week. That's sort of my rule with most baby things. It's like a cycle of repeating the same things over and over in a cycle until they work.
I'm drinking wine on the couch. My husband just got home from playing hockey. Both kids are asleep and I pray they remain that way for many hours.
boooo. hope he chills out and you can get some sleep soon.
i can't decide if it's a positive or negative that my parents will be visiting at ~6 weeks. on one hand, i know they will be super helpful and let me nap during the day while they get tons of baby snuggles. on the other hand, i only see my parents 1-2 times a year and i want to actually enjoy my time with them too.
Wake up number 1 after a 4 hour stretch. I'm really scared she's not going to go back down . Last night she wouldn't sleep unless I was holding her after 3am. I hope this is not the start of a new trend. Because if I'm up for the day at 1am I'm going to lose it, lol.
It's honestly making me question moving her bedtime back. We've gradually eased our way to a 9 pm bedtime (she usually goes down and stays down for her longest stretch between 9-10). But she's been waking up between 1-3 depending on how long of a stretch she gives us. However, if she's not going to go back to sleep in her bassinet, it seems less shitty to be up for the day at 4 or 5 than it does to be up at 1-3 am.
We're dropping like flies around here. H now has bronchitis. I tried calling my mother in law for reinforcement but she's coming down with something too. It may soon be dog and baby fending for themselves. On a related note, why is it that when I'm sick, I sound sick. When H is sick, he sounds like he's got one foot in the grave. I start to wonder if he's really dying or if we're being a little dramatic. I suspect both but hello boy who cried wolf.
First wake up tonight- we put her in her room tonight ( still in the RNP) and it was great for me since she is such a loud sleeper- plus DH and I got to DTD for the first time in months

DD1 turns 3 today (!). For the past year she has gotten up in the motn and come into our bed. It's fine, but obviously not ideal. At bedtime today she talked about being a big girl and staying in her own bed. Great! Except that she got up at 2 because she needed me to help her fall asleep. Then dd2 woke up, because she's going through mama separation anxiety. So I'm now in dd1's bed with DD2. They're both asleep, but I know that if I move they'll both wake up again.

Ds was asleep at 9. Great. Woke up at 1. Not great b/c he's been going until 3 or 4. I nurse him and he pooped! Go change him and he's wide awake. Rock him. Nope. Nurse some more. He pooped again! Go change, then rock back to sleep.

First wake up. I don't know what time she went done; DH was on baby duty! I'm pumping while H gives her a bottle.
I have a little blister on the tip of my nipple... Not a bleb. It's not white & it's not painful. My nipples and areolas are in bad shape. The base of my nipples are swollen & red. I just can't get a break with this BF thing. /Wah
I'm still up, 3 hours after wake up 1 . She did go down in her bassinet for about 30 minutes at 2:30 but woke up again just as I was drifting off to sleep. Where did my awesome sleeper go? She's so fussy too.
DD is WIDE awake after her MOTN feed! She's all smiling and looking at me... Go to sleep. Now!
Also, it was super warm today ( into the 80's!) and now it sounds like every bird in the state is sitting outside my window, chirping like crazy at 2:30am!
Wakeup 3. J will go to daycare at the beginning of April and I am holding out a small amount of hope that they will be able to get him to take a bottle and stop this reverse cycle
