We are currently attempting nap sans wubbanub. So far no screaming. I don't think she wants or needs it we just always offered.
I'm getting ready to head to the grocery store. I'm going to make some banana bread and breakfast casserole and double them to take to MIL tomorrow since she can't get around well after surgery. I may strongly dislike the woman, but I just can't help myself.

I must have gotten a new batch of hormones yesterday, because everything is getting to me lately. I kept DH up last night talking about police brutality and accountability and how awful it all is. I'm also freaking out over this fast second labor business. My mom lives three hours away, will she even make it? Eeep! I'm making banana bread today too!
TamiTaylor, how did your H's football game to last night?
We picked up a Costco take and bake pizza for dinner last night. Never. Again. It was so salty that I had to get up and chug water in the middle of the night. I felt like crap and this slept like crap too.
Also, I should have had a period on the last week, but nothing. I keep telling myself that the odds of a oregnancy with an IUD are so slim. I have no symptoms.
They won. They didn't let them score the entire 2nd half. That is really good since DH coaches the defensive side of the ball. Thanks for asking!
P.S. POAS!!!!
Lol, we're not trying for a baby right now. I do to think I have a test I the house even!

DS has an ear infection and is just not a happy camper still. He's been on antibiotics since Monday, and I'm giving him Motrin twice a day. His temp keeps going up to about 101 in between doses. He's still a fussy mess and will not sleep except when nursing. We're having a big party today that I'm excited about. Just hoping DS is a little happier for some of it.
So I got back from the grocery store and DH let me know that wubbanub is safely back in E's little mouth and she's napping. I guess after I put her down and left things didn't go so well. No worries really, it was just an experiment.
This is the staple breakfast casserole that everyone asks me to make: allrecipes.com/recipe/sausage-casserole/ Except I do a whole bag of hashbrowns and cook them the night before in the pan to make sort of a "shell" around the 9x13. Then in the morning I dump the rest in and bake until the eggs are done.

My boss asked my plans for when I go into labor and he is now freaking out for me lol. My mom is 2 hours away then we have an hour drive to the hospital. My boss offered his wife's assistance in case we need it. Very sweet of him, but poor woman hasn't even met DS!
Oh! And I got on my bathroom scale today for the first time in 2+ months. I am only three pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight! This might be a little misleading as I definitely lost some muscle mass in my leg. But I don't think more than a few pounds, right?
My belly is still kind of big and flabby. (I'm in a bit of denial about this issue and have worn nothing but yoga pants since giving birth.) I am starting walking and yoga in October, then running when my ankle is good and healed.
I'm 11 months PP and still am in denial/wearing yoga pants.
Poor DH is still moving crap from the old house to the new house. So DS and I had a super fun morning on our own. We ate breakfast while finishing the movie from last night, went to the farmers market, quick trip to grocery store, then out to lunch. DS was so well behaved, I got him a brownie as a reward. Before he fell asleep, he told DH all about his "spesh-shall treat brown-nay."
Date night tonight! Except we don't really have any plans and dh has a cold. I told him he had to suck it up cuz I need a be away from the kids. He worked long days all week and didn't get home until after the girls were in bed and didn't see them so I was solo parenting this week.
I woke up at 6:30 to dh snoring. I poked him five or six times and then he rolled over and was snoring right in my ear. So annoying, so i got up and came downstairs. Ds isnt even up yet and im sick and really wanted to sleep in. Ugh.
I have zero tolerance for H's snoring now. When I'm trying to fall asleep after the third MOTN wake-up, I have no patience for being kept awake. Sometimes I say "you're snoring, be quiet." (devil)
DH has always been a snorer but it's particularly bad this week b/c he's cleaning the dusty old farmhouse. I poke him repeatedly to roll over, and if he's still snoring I make him get up and use his nasal spray and blow his nose (devil)

Blah, we have about 2.5 hours left in the car. Our van is packed and I can't sit in the back with him. He's over tired, crying and nothing is working. And he just dropped his beloved stuffed animal where I can't reach it.?

Our pediatrician recommended getting my daughter's eyes checked. We just got home from the eye doctor, and it turns out she is pretty farsighted with a prescription of -4.0. I feel terrible that she hadn't been able to see, but am happy we found this out before she starts kindergarten next week. Plus, she looks super cute in glasses!

We are at BBB trying out strollers. I think we are going to go with the joovy groove ultralight.
I thought I really like the Uppa baby g lux, but after seeing it in person I wasn't that impressed. (Thank goodness bc I couldn't get DH to agree to it).

McDs play place was a success this morning. Then got some good stuff at the carters sale. But Target was a mistake and I opened 3 different snacks before buying just to keep dd somewhat calm to buy a few things. I need a break!
I'm at a children's museum with my mom, SIL, 2 nephews, and C. The boys are doing a clay art project and C is napping in the stroller so I'm hanging out in the hall with her.
H and I are getting a date tonight! We don't have family in the area so we have only gone out one other time since C was born, when my CW watched her while we went to dinner. I think tonight we will do dinner AND a movie! I am so excited!
I'm back home. Only 2cm and 90% effaced with no change from 8AM to 1PM but contrax are still 5 minutes apart. I'm not to go back until the pain is bad (it's not now, maybe a 2 on a scale of 1-10) or my water breaks. Of course I am trying to nap and can't fall asleep.

Dug a pee stick out of the back of the medicine cabinet- negativo. We're not TTC, so I'm good with this result. And bonus beer drinking!

Ohh, that's frustrating. I was hoping you might have a baby by now! Any chance of fun this weekend, or are you too uncomfortable now?
I found a janie and jack Pumpkin romper for C on ebay. I need to find a sweater for M but I can't find any in 2T. I know I have time to keep looking but I want it now.

After a fun morning at the pool, DS and I hit up Costco to work on stocking the pantry for baby's arrival. Then we got "ta and joos" (pizza and lemonade) after.
He was being so pleasant and adorable, all of the olds at Costco kept coming up to talk to him/me. It was so strange, I'm used to people avoiding making eye contact with me because I have "that kid." The only problem is that he doesn't talk much still, and says almost nothing to strangers so they kept asking him questions and he'd just stare. One nosy old lady admonished him, "You should be able to hold up two fingers to tell me how old you are!" Shut up lady, we're here for the lemonade not the toddler shaming.
I try to downplay the sucky sides of newborn parenting to my friends who are pregnant with their first. It is completely absurd and unusual to come down with mastitis and thrush in the same week, for example, so I omitted those details when talking with a pregnant friend 5 minutes ago and just said everything was okay. (I didn't say things were terrific or outright lie, I just didn't say I was physically miserable due to all the breastfeeding plagues possible.)
