We are getting family pictures done Sunday. It is supposed to be in the 40s with 20/30 MPH wind gusts. This is the only day the photog can do it. I am not wearing a heavy shirt. BOO
For those who know NYC would you hesitate to fly through LaGaurdia if you're only going for a weekend? I feel like every time (which is not terribly often, granted) I fly through NY, my flight is always massively delayed.
I always fly into LaGuardia when I go visit my bff for a weekend. But I also go on a shuttle plane so it is an itty bitty terminal and super easy.
I couldn't fall back asleep after a 4:15 wakeup. I slept in a bit, and got up when I heard N talking. He was already up, diaper changed, and dressed. Thanks DH!
I want to put fake bugs on my nylons for tomorrow for the daycare Halloween party, and am contemplating wearing them to work, too. Yay or nay?
I have baby fever, like for reals. Something about N being two makes my ovaries hurt.
I missed the mass FB friending. My mom and sisters and other family members are so nosy about who likes/comments on my stuff on fb, that I am hesitant anyway. But then I feel like an outsider.
K was coughing a lot last night. Didn't seem to keep her awake but it's hard to sleep listening to her and knowing there's nothing I can do. I already have a humidifier running in her room. I guess I could put in a second one but I'm not sure that would help.
Then the cats had a fight in or right outside her room at 6:30 this morning and woke her up. I was so mad; the last few days I've had to wake her up at 6:45 to get ready so it's not that much earlier but it messed up my routine. Plus it scared her. Cats might have to spend nights in the basement if they can't behave.
pugz you'll have to let me know if Ikea is still super busy. I haven't been yet but we need some stuff and need to go. I don't want to do it on a weekend so we are planning to try to have an Ikea lunch date soon and get stuff then. I figured it wouldn't be as busy during the week.
Every now and then at work I get a "civilian" on the phone who is just looking for information. I usually try to point them in the right direction. Sometimes they get clingy and think I'm their personal lawyer. Today is one of those days. Time to change my phone number and email address.
H is working from home this morning. I called the landline from work to ask him a question. A man with an unfamiliar voice answered and I said, "I'm sorry, I must have the wrong number." How did I dial my own phone number wrong? Called again and the same voice answered. I said, "Rob?" he said "yeah, what's up?" LOL. I asked if I had just called him a second earlier and he said "I don't know, but some woman called and said 'I'm sorry, I must have the wrong number.'"
So I called my H, didn't recognize his voice, told him I had the wrong number, and he didn't recognize my voice. WTF? Sleep deprivation? LOL.
My mom offended me today. She asked if I had any clothes to wear or if I was still struggling with my weight. I am 2 weeks pp and have lost 16 lbs. I have never indicated that I was struggling with my weight. WTF woman, I'm already sensitive about my pp body and you have to throw these comments out there? I think 16 lbs in 2 weeks is good!
Then I told her that DD must have hit a growth spurt and gained some weight, because she felt heavier. My mom then told me that maybe I needed to stop waking her in the night to feed. Ok, my pediatrician says we need to because she has not regained her birth weight yet. Sorry that I listen to a professional and not someone who had their last child 3 decades ago. 2nd, her colic is so bad that we have never actually woke her to feed. I'm not going to regulate my newborn's appetite. I am going to let her eat when she says she is hungry.
It's no wonder all of my siblings have such a weird view of food.
Daycare had their Halloween party yesterday. Apparently DD does not like kids in costumes. She cried the whole time. I feel so bad for her. We were planning to dress her up again tomorrow and just go around to the few neighbor's that we know. I guess we will see how that goes for her.

I'd try to fly out of JFK or Newark, LGA always has delays. Your airport is horrible for direct flights - sorry.
We had our ENT follow up. Ears look good, recheck in 6 months. God, it's so nice going in for well visits. We went once or twice a week for 3 months, all sick visits.
DS tripped and fell right against our entertainment center this morning. He managed to pull the corner protector off, so he has a huge scratch on his forehead. He was fine a few minutes later.
The scratch looks pretty bad - thinking of a last minute Halloween costume change to Harry Potter...

Last night dc teacher told me that dd has been hitting her friends and tries to be the boss of her room. Ha no surprise since she hits us all the damn time. We had a talk with her lol.
Tonight is trunk or treat and I have to get dd into her costume once we get there. She will definitely lose her shit like she did when we tried it on but I'm hoping she calms down quick.

@hannymaren congrats on your liverversary.
cowboyjoe when I was 2 weeks pp my mother asked me when I was going to get back to working out to lose the weight. She is five feet tall and grossly overweight. Not one to talk. Take it easy on yourself and just ignore her!
My lack of having anything to do with FB and instagram is begining to make me feel like the unpopoular kid in the lunch room given all the posts and love being thrown around these past couple days about sharing contact information.
I am about to book my trip to Kenya - I will be on the ground for 27 hours total. I will be flying for 30 total..........
We have a Malaysian grad student working for us and it's her first American Halloween experience. She's adorable. She has taken a picture of every little decoration anyone has set out and wants to try all the different kinds of candy. We had trick or treating here yesterday and she was losing her effing mind. I love it.

"College friend."
"online personal finance forum". It's halfway true!
We fly home later and I've been up since 3:30 am Hawaii time. I figure it can't hurt to be super tired and sleep on the flight home and tomorrow morning 3:30 will be 9:30 and I'll have three kids up before then. I just texted my mil and DD has only thrown up once today! Improvement for the poor thing. I officially can't handle being away when my kids aren't feeling well . I'm so relieved she's feeling better.
Confession, DH and I have a room with two double beds since we booked it 5 seconds before arriving and we definetly slept in separate ones last night and it was GLORIOUS lol. I love him but Jesus, I needed some space.
I think we're going to the beach this morning and then a museum before heading to the airport.

I've been feeling better about my relationship with Nods. The things she does are cute again and I no longer feel like she is BEC. I'm glad because we used to have so much fun, but it was such a big struggle for a while.
Just venting. I'm trying to find somewhere to go for our kid free weekend but there are no direct flights from our city to anywhere interesting. This is one of the major disadvantages of living in the middle of nowhere lol.
I used to drive to BUF, they have more direct flights. Could be an option depending on where you want to go? I know it seems dumb but I hate connections and avoid them whenever possible!
Ds had/has pinkeye and putting the drops in his eyes is so hard. He hates it, I have to literally sit on him, but then he won't open his eyes ugh. This morning was so bad. If any got in his eyes at all, they were diluted by his tears. I need dh to help me!
cowboyjoe a week pp my mom rubbed my belly and asked if my belly was this big pp after I had dd1. I was like wtf, do you not remember That you have a pooch after you give birth. I was flabergasted.

THIS IS MY DAD. "Who is this person? Why are you friends with so many people in California? How do you know xyz?"
I just refuse to answer or say 'I don't know' or blame college/grad school.
