It is Sunday, right? I feel like I've been to war. Haven't been home since Tuesday afternoon and haven't been to work since Monday. I don't have the energy to do anything other than couch it tonight. We are going to watch the original Jurassic Park later and order take out.
In other news, tonight we are weaning B off his bedtime sippy. Well, he had one after dinner and then we brushed teeth and went to bed without incident. I'm afraid he's going to wake up in a few hours and want one but we plan to hold strong. Wish me luck. DH and I have no willpower when it comes to a crying baby. Like none. Thus why he still has a bedtime sippy in the first place. And sometimes a MOTN sippy too.
The day stayed off rocky, with me taking a small tumble off the last stair with the baby in my arms. She flew out about a foot after I was down on the ground, but we're both fine.
The day has thankfully picked up. H & I just saw Kinky Boots, which was awesome, and we're all headed to Friendsgiving for dinner. Can't wait to grub!

This transition time is going to kill me. L and I are on our fifth new sleeping environment in just over a week. All of our belongings are on a truck somewhere but we don't get them back until next Wednesday. Being nomadic with a baby is no fun. I'm so ready for some stability!
I’ve been away from work since Tuesday and I had to think hard about what to pack for daycare.
I’m terrified of work tomorrow. Budget season can bite me.
Also, E has a cold and was super fussy/sleepy, so I skipped grocery shopping. Out of real food, I ate an obscene amount of almonds and peanuts, and a few Tostitos Multigrain Scoops for dinner. Yum! Debating whether to wash it all down with dessert or something like frozen Brussels sprouts.

I can't even imagine. Just do the best you can. I hope the rest of the time passes quickly.

Thanks! L is doing remarkably well through it all. Starting last Friday we had one night in one hotel, then three nights in another, then one night at home followed by 3 nights at my inlaws. We are at my parents now for one night, then 2 more hotel nights then we should get into our new place. And these places are not close together either. There's been 2 plane trips and many car rides in there too. We were in the car for over 4 hours today alone. L is taking it like a champ though! And my H has 5 days off starting Thursday so we will get to see him for a few days which is a nice treat.

Oh honey, I fee you! I moved with kids and didn't get my stuff for 1.5 weeks and my cars for nearly 2.5. Hang in there!! ::: hug:::
I asked DH not to put the tree up this weekend. I just didn't want to deal with decorating it. He put it up anyway. The good news is E hasn't given a 2nd thought. The bad news is, I was gone today and DH didn't decorate it. I told him I didn't have the energy to deal with decorating it. Now he's like "when are you putting the ornaments up?" DUDE.
I guess once I get off my ass I should put some ornaments on the thing.

H and I are off work tomorrow too because it is his birthday. We are going to breakfast as a family then going to Ikea.
J has been super snotty and chewing on his hand the last week. I got in his mouth and he definitely has at least one tooth coming in but is now coughing like crazy too. Ugh, he just got over one sickness.
I made second Thanksgiving tonight for just H and I because we weren't thrilled with the meal at his parent's house.
DD2 has claimed this house Christmas ornament thing that plays music and insists on taking it to bed. She's been singing Up on the Roof Top and Jolly Old St Nicholas for 15 mins straight (like "la la la la la," not the words, she's not that special )

I am traveling AGAIN tomorrow (for all of 40 hours), and have a 3:15 am wakeup call The flight schedule is pretty shitty, making for a super long day tomorrow and a lot of time to burn Tuesday (prob 10-2) in Phoenix. If I had more time I'd do taliesin. I am not a sit by the pool person. Ugh. Maybe I should pull a @starry and just get wasted at the hotel bar
We got home, unpacked the car, and I tried feeding DD dinner. She ate about 1/4 c of blueberries, refused pizza, and started sobbing into a bowl of cereal. We laid her down at 6:15 and she was OUT.
3 days of no napping and terrible night sleep will do that to a toddler, I guess. She had better sleep until 8:00 a.m. tomorrow.
Also, I am ridiculously sore from falling over at Target earlier today. I told my mom and she asked if I filed an incident report. Saying what? That I am pregnant and clumsy and was wearing shoes inappropriate for the rainy weather when I fell over on the sidewalk in front of their store?

DS was such a ham during our portrait session today. I can't wait to see the photos. Such a change from last year when it took him nearly half the session to warm up to the photographer.
And thanks to all who helped me pick an outfit. He looked beyond adorable.
DH's car was acting crazy and I googled all the problems and it turns out it was a switch malfunction. $31 switch and two minutes later and all the problems are gone. Part of me is sad because I spent some time looking at sweet new cars. The other 99% of me is happy because his car is great and we just bought a new one and definitely don't need to be shelling out any more money on cars.
I also kept thinking I was in labor all day. I guess I am having a December baby. I had it in my head for so long that both kids would be born in November I'm having a weird time wrapping my head around it. I think part of it is going preterm last time and being almost 39 weeks this time.
This is twy sentwa (did I use that right?) but DS babble-cries mamamama when he wants me to hold him or to intervene if my H is doing something he doesn't like (e.g., clumsily changing his clothes). I know he doesn't know what he's saying, but I totally am willing to have someone tell me I have a genius baby.
I was scrolling through my babycenter BMB (mostly for the entertainment value; those women are crazy) and someone is pregnant again already. She had her baby 10/7. I cannot imagine.
