Dd took a late car nap yesterday and fell asleep very late last night. I had a small glimmer of hope of her sleeping past her self-imposed mandatory 615 wakeup, but no of course not.
I'm still pregnant and bitter. Chelsea Clinton had her baby, Charlotte. I'm totally jealous of her for one more reason now.
I never run outside, always on the treadmill since I can drop the kids in gym daycare. I'm currently trying to psyche myself out of bed to go run but my bed.. It's so comfy!

Its DH,'s bday and we are going out for a nice dinner. Yay! It's only the second time we've tine out since DS was born. We didn't have a babysitter so I'm hoping this sitter can be our regular. She's a teacher from daycare I'm also getting the couched mom chop this morning. I am both excited and scared that I'll hate it.
I got up and saw on the monitor that DS had wedged himself into the corner of the crib, face down. I was a little scared, so I snuck in to his room. Sure enough, he was stuck there. He's still asleep, but moving around and bumping into the crib slats. Poor guy! I grabbed him and rearranged him, put the paci back in, and he fell asleep again. Hope he'll sleep a little longer so I can go back to sleep, too.

Our plan to go to a birthday party this afternoon was cancelled since the birthday girl is sick with a high fever and we don't want to risk ds2. So now we've got to figure out how to pass the time
DD woke up around 6 and H went in to lay with her and they are both still asleep at 8am, score!
My parents are coming to take DD to the zoo so H and I can continue working through our project list and then we're all going to a friends for a fried chicken party
I won a bet last weekend and earned sleeping in both days this weekend. I don't remember what DH and I bet on. Anywho, the freaking tree people are here promptly at 8am to grind a stump. Stupid.

DS woke up earlier than he does on weekdays when we have to be up early Mommyhood has put me years behind in my movie watching. I stayed up until 1am watching The Help, but it was so good! DH also got sucked into watching it and he agreed.

DH and I agreed that we would each get a day to sleep in this weekend. Of course this morning is my turn and I am wide awake, I am hiding in our bedroom until at last 9am.

PSA: Old Navy tamis are on for $4. I stocked up yesterday!
We are supposed to go to a baby dedication today. According to the host, we need to bring a chair, a potluck meal item for 20-25, a memento for her child's memory box, and school supply donations to be sent to a school in Jamaica. All of that is making me not want to go. It sounds like so much work!
Just got home from my run and now DH is out running. My run app didn't work but I ran about two miles. According to my fitbit, it was 22 floors. How's THAT for elevation change. Gah.
We had a tree taken out of our front yard and then the stump ground last weekend. We've decided to skip the whole seed/straw/water routine and just pick up some sod. I think DH plans to go do that when he gets home.
Later we have a babysitter so we can go out and watch the game together with our tailgating friends. Usually with an away game so close, we'd be at the game but you couldn't pay me a million dollars to be a visiting fan at OSU.
All three kids were up between 4:30 and 5:30 this morning. And DH isn't home. And it is usually my morning to sleep in. *yawn* At least they are all being sweet and adorable this morning.
Work was brutal yesterday. Brutal. Non-stop. And there have been some security issues lately, so I've been feeling edgy while I'm there. So I went running last night. It felt so bad/ good to feel physically worn out instead of just mentally exhausted.

Whoa, that is way too much work!
DS slept in the latest ever, almost 7:30! And he's been in a great mood. I'm hoping we can get out with him to watch the RC plane show at our local park. But am also worrying about my rapidly diminishing supply, I only got 4 oz MOTN and that is terrible for me plus woke up feeling empty 6 hours later. So I'm trying to somehow enjoy our fairly lazy weekend while pumping after as many feedings as possible today... if pumping a bunch of extra this weekend doesn't help things, I might just have to give up and stop stressing about it.
It's homecoming for the local university today. We're planning on meeting a group of friends at a coffee place adjacent to the parade rout. Of course, after a week of 75 degree plus weather it's raining. Damn!

DS used to wakeup and be fine to roll around on his own, talking to himself for 10-15min while I wake up enough to go get him. Sometime in the last week, he realized I can hear him from his room so now as soon as he wakes up he just shouts "Mom! Mom! Mama!" over and over until I come get him. At least he still doesn't get out of bed?

H took DD out for doughnuts, and DS is napping. Sweet, sweet silence. Of course, I'm catching up on some work, but at least I'm doing it without a toddler screaming in my ear and a baby clinging to my legs, which has basically been our life for the last week.
I am pumping for the first time in a week. I really need to buckle down and do this, but any time I get a spare minute away from M, I can think of a thousand things I'd rather do than pump.
DD woke up at 6:50 am and I wanted to cry. She drank a few ounces and played in her crib while I caught up on 10 more minutes of sleep until 7:20 am when she pooped.
Then a miracle happened. I put her back in the crib with a clean diaper and ignored her while I laid in my bed "for just 1 more minute." We both wound up waking up at 9:30 am. I had turned her crib so she could see me, that's important to keep the crying at bay.
Whoa, I got to sleep in with a baby! Yes this throws our schedule off for the day. But it's just me and her all day in my parent's home. Usually they are very helpful but today they are out of town and their home is 90% not baby proofed.
We are off to BRU to buy her a high chair for grandma's house and maybe a containment device or 10.
