We started bath at 7:30. Did massage, diaper, jammies, swaddle, and final feeding. He seemed to take a lot (both sides) and he's been asleep since 8:30. I'm going to go to bed soon and hopefully get a few hours in before he wakes up! I'd love for him to make it at least until midnight. 1:00 or 2:00 would be awesome but I'm not holding my breath! Wish me luck!
The friends that are watching my older kids next week came over to hang out and see the evening routine tonight. So everyone is bathed and asleep now and I'm enjoying the amazing weather with a glass of wine.
I'm more than confident that my kids will be fine but gah, I'm going to miss them .
I miss the care free pre-kids days when I truly got excited for vacation. Becoming a parent has completely sucked the fun right out of it for me. I'm either going crazy leading up to it trying to get everyone ready and then exhausted because you know, traveling anywhere with kids is haaard. Or, I leave them behind and freak out leading up to it because I'll miss them and I'm full of guilt, even though I know it's illogical.

I went to a 31 party tonight with my mom. I got home and DH excitedly told me all about how he and M played ball. I think it was good for him to have some time alone with M after being gone for a few days, and that makes me happy.
I am so sick of being sick (not PG, just week #2 of being sick).
We're supposed to go to Chicago for the weekend. Me and DD are sick and DS is super sick. Here's hoping we all miraculously feel better in the morning!
Dd has fallen asleep nursing. (Heart) I can't believe we have been nursing for 2 years. It's been so long since she's nursed to sleep, I'm so glad it happened today. Her birthday was chaotic and she was a grump today bc she didn't nap. I needed this moment

DD has been a lot fussier tonight than she has been the last 4 days when DH was gone. I think picking her up early from daycare might have messed up her schedule a bit. I hope she sleeps well tonight! If not, DH will have to live elsewhere. Jk!
N had his today too. He napped longer, but otherwise seems fine...hopefully they'll both sleep well!
Aww I can't believe they are getting so big! How did the rest of his appt go?
I know, me either! It went well, how was hers? Our doctor said to hold off on solids since N is on the low end of how much he should be eating, but I wasn't planning to start now anyway.

4 month wake up can suck it. DD has barely napped today. Went down easily at 8, up at 9.30 and won't go back down. She is giggling, squealing etc. Omg.
I'm trying to finish a freelance project and J was of course up after only two hours. DH is trying to calm her. But...yeah, I should have just done it because she'd be back asleep now. It's hard to focus when I can hear how upset she is.
We are leaving for our first weekend away with the baby tomorrow... I am trying to be rational and organized, but it is hard to resist the urge to bring *all the things*. Packing the car will be fun for DH.
The newborn has been nursing for almost 2 hours. Wtf?! Normally she nurses for 20-30 minutes. I am so tired.
I should be grateful she normally sleeps for 3-4 hours at a time, which is good for her age and size (3 weeks, 7lbs). But tonight she's only slept from 10- midnight and has nursed since. Hold me.
