We're up pumping and feeding but I'm hoping to grab a little nap afterwards. I have to start packing things up today - we're planning to transition from my parent's house to ours this week! I'm a little terrified but also excited!
DS slept (or played quietly in his crib) until 7:16. The latest in a very long while. Thanks, kiddo! I mean, he didn't STTN, but I'll take a quick wake up with a sleep in over waking at 5 for the day.
I don't know how I could ever have thought one baby + two parents was hard. This morning is so easy! I want to eat breakfast? Here dh, your turn. Oh you want to have a shower you say? Sure, I'll take the baby. I'd like to use the bathroom alone, take the baby dh. Oh the good life. Ds1 comes home this afternoon I miss the little guy but holy cow things are peaceful when you're not catering to an emotionally unstable dictator.

We were on the road around 5:30 am and have about three hours left to go plus a stop for breakfast. I hate driving in the rain, I'd rather have snow.
Tonight we are celebrating my mom and aunt's 60th birthday (they're twins). Its a surprise. My mom knows we are coming because we can't really spring a family of four with a 2 year old and an infant, but my sister is a surprise and so is the big dinner out.
My BFF is watching both boys for us, praying it goes well.
I've also completely changed my outlook. I was speaking to someone yesterday who was so negotiate about their spouse, other people's kids, etc. I don't think I'm at bad, or at least I hope not, but I don't want that for kebabs our family. My DH might not know all the ins and outs of parenting our sons, but he tries really hard and works really hard to support us. I doubt I could do his job as well. Making that decision has lifted a weight of my shoulders.
I'm in the car, I actually have the time to type -lol!

I feel this way with two kids too. And wonder if people with 3 and more think about how easy I have it. I mean, there is a parent for each child.
M's life is hard. He really really needs a Popsicle because his sister made his apple stinky! With her breath! He can not eat a stinky apple even if it is washed.
DH's grandmother passed away last night. DH is her POA and we moved her down here near us last year, so we knew this was coming. DH had already contacted hospice and everything. She was in her 90s and had a good life. But we're both still very sad, she was a wonderful woman. She really wanted to meet DD, but alas it was not to be. Very sad day in the SG household.
People keep asking how it is parenting 2, but I barely feel qualified to answer since DD is still going to daycare while I'm on ML. With rare exception, I only parent 2 when DH is around.
But right now DH is in bed, DD is watching Pocahontas and DS is in the bouncer looking outside. Even when I have both, I'm barely parenting 2

We went out last night, I had a couple beers and of course woke up at 6am while the whole house was still asleep. This seems to happen now when I drink. I tried to go back to sleep but DH was snoring so terribly (which happens when he drinks). We're so old.
Headed to gymnastics with DD1 in a bit, then grocery shopping. We're having DH's parents over tomorrow for St. Patty's day dinner, so I need to clean the house as well. Plus, I need to really get on figuring out what else we need to get/pack for our trip coming up.
My dad is rolling in today. He just travels around in his camper for most of the year. He is on his way home to Pennsylvania and called yesterday he was going to stop on his way. Yay for a free dinner out but this puts everything else on hold. Hoping we can get groceries at least before he gets here.

I had the most bizarre dream last night. The setting was in South Korea and we were seeing fertility doctors there for IVF. As they were about to start, they asked if we wanted this one to be a girl. They explained that they discovered if they dyed the embryo pink, it would be a girl. I was offended that they thought I wanted a girl, just because I have a boy. But I apparently thought nothing of the pink dye explanation. Lol

It's raining and gross out today. We're skipping music due to DD's tummy bug and I think H is on duty while I finish prepping the LR to paint.
My mom called me yesterday and said "I feel like I haven't seen you in a while" (it's been a week), and suggested lunch or dinner. I kind of was like "uhhh" mostly because we don't normally do that, and also because this coming week is crazy busy for me. She said I didn't have to answer right away, so I didn't, and now I feel guilty like she thinks I don't want to hang out with her. Ugh. This is kind of a long standing issue. She relates to people by helping them/taking care of them, and H and I don't really want or need that kind of thing, while my sister is all "take my kids! bring me dinner! do my laundry!". So it's been hard to establish a good relationship with her as an adult.

I'm so sorry @supergreen
I need to do several hours of work this morning and then after my (probable failed) attempt at a nap I need to do some laundry and get packing for our trip tomorrow. Exciting...
H and I got into a pretty big fight. E was stirring and fussing and H wasn't getting up. I'm not dumb, I can tell when he's awake. So I got up, annoyed because H was supposed to do MOTN feedings. I do them all week, it's only fair he does it on the weekends, right? So he says he "didn't hear him", I called BS, he told me to fuck off. Um no. I told him he could leave and go stay at his parents if he's going to talk to me that way. He knows I'm already having a rough time so saying that is just kicking me while I'm down. Things are calmed down now but I'm still really hurt But maybe I'm just being hormonal.
E won't put weight on her right food this morning. DH thinks she may have caught it in the crib? She turned the monitor on a lot last night moving around.
SOMEONE cough cough DH introduced DD to Barney and now it's all she wants to watch. Noooo
OMG, daycare did this! They don't watch the show, but they play the music and read the books. Why, daycare, why?? She asks us to sing the song with her and we tell her we don't know it. NOT IN MY HOUSE.
