After 5 hours in the car yesterday, E didn't seem to be feeling well, he kept spitting up a LOT, kind of like he threw up everything he drank when we arrived at my parents he seemed to feel a lot better after a couple of hours. Car sick, maybe. My heart was broken.
But this was his face this morning!
Aw, I hope it was just a one time occurrence and he doesn't get sick again.
DS is getting a cold. He sounds congested when he coughs - poor guy! I got him up this morning, brought him in bed with us and fed him (our usual weekend routine). But he was rubbing his eyes like he was tired so we put him back in his crib and he's asleep. Poor little guy! He has his first swim class today - I don't know if we should still go?

I used to nanny for a baby who got carsick pretty frequently. Cracking the window open a bit seemed to help sometimes. I hope it was just a one time occurrence for you guys though!
My plugged duct(s) feels much better. Hopefully today's the day it/they go away.
We're going on our first post-HJ date today and I'm excited and also kind of not looking forward to it. We're going late afternoon/early evening and she's staying with some friends of ours who have 2 kids and are wonderful. This will be her first time to be left alone with someone who isn't DH or myself AND doesn't have webcam accessibility for us like daycare does.
H and I are going out for dinner tonight (finally!) and I want to wear a dress, which means I have to shave my legs. Maybe I'll look further into wearing pants...
I had a dream last night that we were fleeing from some sort of catastrophe and I could only bring one thing with me, and I was trying to decide between my phone and my cloth diaper collection. I think my dream is trying to tell me something.
Ha, DD was like that at your DD's age, swizz. And yes, I can tell you that you are in for it
We got so much sushi last night for dinner (take-out), that they sent us home with FIVE sets of chopsticks. DH doesn't think it was that much (five rolls + dumplings), but it came on a party tray, haha! Then we ate it all but 5 pieces, shared a giant red velvet cupcake and fell asleep on the couch watching the Olympics and Renovation Realities. Lame!

I'm glad you're feeling better! Plugged ducts can suck it. I woke up in the middle of the night with one the other day and just about burst into tears, sleeping with a brick in your boob is no fun.
Have a wonderful time on your date! We did a late afternoon/early evening date for our first post-baby date and I think it worked well- I didn't want to make someone else put him to bed My mom sent us pictures every hour or so which made me feel better. I hope you can enjoy it!
I am sad and annoyed. I have been trying to get together with one of my mom friends (we both recently moved). Literally the past 4x for plans her kids have been sick. I am pretty anal about getting together when kids are sick. I work part-time, it's hard for me to take off, so I do my best to keep my kids healthy (b/c they go to daycare and I have 7 month old so it's never ending sickness). She knows how I feel about this topic. But she's ALWAYS like, "my kid had a 103 fever last night but he doesn't have it this morning and is bouncing off the walls. What do you want to do?" She never thinks her kids illnesses are a big deal (explosive pools, high fevers, etc.) and I hate that I always have to be the one who says, "maybe we should re-schedule." If my kids are sick then I cancel plans. Maybe it's different for her b/c she SAH, but who wants to deal with a sick kid??
It just sucks. This really bothers me. And it's a few other comments she keeps saying to me that are adding to the fire. Lately I have felt so isolated and I don't have a lot of mom friends so it is hard for me to feel this way
I am in love with the Angel Dear lovey. Just about two weeks ago DS started snuggling his, and it helps so much with bedtime and naps. He reaches for it now as soon as I lay him down, and snuggles it right to his face. So sweet!
I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to relax or get stuff done while DS is napping.

I just spent 45 mins on the phone with Comcast trying to get our cable reconnected.
They made me go through the whole trouble shooting process. I'm like, "I can absolutely guarantee we have no service despite what your system says. I'm looking at the severed cable hanging off my house." Made me do it anyway. Idiots. Now we wait 48 hours just to have someone call us just to schedule the repair.

I did the same thing with our cable company this week. I had to speak with the troubleshooting robot and two different humans and all three made me unplug and replug the modem before finally agreeing to send a technician, who discovered a cable disconnected across the street from our house.
I'm so excited I scheduled my next haircut at my last haircut. Now it's this morning and I didn't leave it for 6 months like usual. And we're having dinner with friends tonight and I'll have super cute professionally blown out hair!
DD4 had her first PT session on Tuesday because at almost 11mo, she still wasn't crawling ir pulling up. Yesterday she crawled (just short distances) but crawled properly twice! She's super close to pulling up too! She's finally decided she actually wants to do stuff. I know she can do anything if she's motivated.
We've been snowed in since Wednesday afternoon, we're all going stir-crazy. The roads finally look okay today, and DH offered to take DS to run some errands so I could get a break. Yes please, thank you sweetie! So I'm sipping ghirardelli (sp) hot chocolate and GBCNing. Ahhhh....
It's clear today I will never be able to eat my meal all by myself again. Today I had to give Chubbabubba part of my bagel and cream cheese. He doesn't even have teeth, I don't know how he's getting this all down.
On the bright side, maybe this will help me continue to make better food choices?

I can't believe J will be 2 weeks old tomorrow! Time really flies; he already looks a little older. OMG the sleep deprivation...he was okay last night but it's still a lot of time spent BFing and changing diapers.
I'll AW him: His tummy time activity is pretty awesome. He's holding his head up really well and turning it from side to side. He even did a superman pose the other day - head up and both legs off the ground. That reminds me, I need to get my jiggly body back to yoga
I need to snap a good pic or two for his birth announcement. Would it be cruel to try and take him out in the snow? I have a bear suit he could wear...
DD has had an ear infection since the first week in January. She had a fever yesterday and was crying when I laid her down (a sure sign of EI for her). So I took her in for a sick appt this morning. Sure enough, still infected.
So we're on our third antibiotic in six weeks. I know that's not good, but IDK what else to do. If this doesn't clear it up, we have to go to an ENT. She's eight months old!
Also I bitched about this last night, but DH was supposed to have family in town and take DD to visit them so I would have the house to myself. Except they went home early so now they're not going. DH offered to be totally in charge for that time but it's not the same as having the house alone.

DD had ear tubes at 1 year old. It was the best thing ever. No more screaming in pain, just drainage from the ears. She had 8 EI from 6 mos to her tubes. I hope she feels better! (And you get some time to yourself).
mekiakoo DD saw your son's picture and asked what his name was. She didn't like it when I said I don't know so I told her his name was Ethan. Then every other baby picture in this thread she got excited and said "That's Ethan!"
We are going out shopping and I forgot a bottle for dd. I told my husband we could buy a sippy cup and get steamed milk from Starbucks. E totally side eyed giving dd Starbucks. It's just steamed milk. I think he doesn't want to start her early on an expensive habit .

No, now I just have to slip into our pantry or another room so DD can't see me snacking

Tubes are great. I wish we'd gotten them sooner. And the surgery really is NBD--I timed it and we were sitting in the waiting room for exactly 12 minutes and he was back to normal within 15 minutes of waking up. He is a much more pleasant child now.
My fellow instagrammers have likely already seen this, but my parents had to put their 13 year old dog down last night it was sudden (well about as sudden as it can be for a relatively healthy old dog) and I'm not sure if that makes it any better or not. So I went for a run this morning and AJ and I went to Petsmart and Target. Meeting an 11 week old puppy named Ellie at PS and getting a latte at Target lifted my spirits considerably
Now I just need AJ to stop talking to himself in his crib and take a nice long nap because we have a friends sons first birthday party to go to at 3.
Also, my kid officially has one tooth breaking through and I think another not far behind. I already told him to be nice to my nipples otherwise he's getting all bottles all the time.
Yes, it requires all caps and multiple exclamation points. I was in way too much pain to not celebrate right now!
Wahoo! I had a super painful clogged duct for a solid day or so a couple of months ago, and when AJ finally got that thing unclogged I texted J at work in all caps to share my excitement

MIL is coming over. do I really need to say more?
I'm planning on hiding in my office and getting some work done. I absolutely HATE the baby voice she talks in around P. It's the worst sound in the world.

I agree with wishing we had gotten them sooner. After getting them with DD, we are all like, "can't we put tubes in DS now!" He's only had 2 since January but it's going to painful if he keeps getting them b/c ENT won't put them until #6 or a continuous EI.
