DS had his 2nd checkup today at 10 days old. He is up 7oz from his birthweight, which is 14oz up from when he left the hospital on day 3. I'm gonna have to set aside all his cute NB stuff already.
C's daycare has a field trip today to a local store that is seasonal, they make amazing fresh -pressed apple cider, cake donuts, candy apples etc; it's set up so people can walk around and watch how the donuts and cider are made. It's also the first time he's riding on a school bus without a car seat, he's big/old enough to just ride normally; it's such a cliche, but how did he get so big....
I have been going mad this week and entertaining the idea H has been pushing for the past 11.95 months of OMG lets have another baby right now! M turns one on Thursday. Can someone please remind me that if we got of right now it would mean two kids who can't really speak or follow directions at the same time? What is happening to me?

S is going to be the death of me. Literally. I was nodding off on the drive in to work today. NOT GOOD. He was up at 1, then 2:30 or something (H took it), then 3:30 (me), then I don't know when cause H took it. H brought him in at 6:30 to nurse. It seemed to be gas? At least my 3:30 time with him was. NO idea what he ate that could have triggered it.
I'm eyeing up some flat-front twill pants on Amazon for B. They're $10 a piece. I may have to get them in each color.
ETA: I'm now looking at sweaters for $6 a piece. OMG. Someone take my credit card before I buy all the things.

DD is turning 1 in two weeks (OMG) and her party is on the 27th. My co-worker came in to give me a "gift from the universe." There was an Amazon package addressed to her husband but there was no packing slip and no one in her family ordered it. They called Amazon and said, "Uhhhhh, we don't know. You can keep it." It's a way-overpriced Snow White first birthday cake topper. My colleague's only child is 13. So she gave it to me. I don't think we'll stick it on the cake but I want to display it at the party somehow.
And this reminds me that Cicero's little boy is almost 1 too OMG OMG OMG.

This work schedule is having a negative impact on our family life. I get no time with DS after work, and he gets really upset that 15 minutes after I get home, it's time to start getting ready for bed, even though he's struggling to keep his eyes open by storytime at 7:30. It also leaves me almost no time for my food blog, or running.
But for now, I'm just a temp. At this point, the coming-on-full-time thing is just theoretical. I'm pretty sure it would hurt me to ask if they'd consider an alternate schedule (like, 8-5 instead of 9-6).

My SIL was visiting this weekend and she's almost 9m pregnant (due late October) and has a 15-16m old. I wanted to cry for her most of the weekend she looked so miserable. On the upside, your kids would be more like 18m apart, lol.
eclaires are we talking a "this too shall pass" kind of miserable or the kind where you wish you'd never been born?
Well... I am biased because my kids are 4 years apart and I love that spacing, so the idea of being heavily pregnant and chasing around a completely irrational terror of a toddler who is mostly non-verbal makes me want to not have been born. However, if I were my SIL, I would have done it this way regardless because she's older than me, and I wanted more than 1 kid. So I understand why they chose to have them this close together.
Plus, I've heard it's much easier after the first few years when they are close in age... it's just hard for me to say "this too shall pass" because I've never experienced the good part of that myself due to my kids' spacing. I imagine it would have been less horrifying to me if mine weren't 4 years apart. If that makes sense... I'm sure there are negatives to having kids four years apart that make moms of kids who are close in age cringe!
DH is home with DD3 today...she has thrown up three times, but has been acting fine otherwise. I'm so glad he is home with that mess. I cannot TAKE the puking.
MH does most of the checkups with Shorti because he has more PTO than I do. This is fine. Except he does NOT give detailed reports and it drives me nuts. Not that he leaves off anything important, and not that I have any really specific questions, - but I'd kinda like a whole play by play of the visit just because I'm nosy as shit and he just shrugs at me.
Today was her 18 month and I've asked him twice in emails how the visit went and he keeps replying answering other questions and ignoring that one.
Jesus man, what are you doing over there? Working??
