I have reached the point in my pregnancy where I can sleep. Earlier than last time I think. And so I am up before either the baby (surprising) or DH (not surprising). The house is so nice and quiet.
It's snowing hard here. I'm exhausted. We have a bunch of errands to run and a birthday party right during nap time. I'm not looking forward to any of it.
Coffee.
I did not notice the snow until i read this. Ugh.
DH is working all weekend, so Im trying to think of fun ways to keep N occupied.

Dd2 came in and asked to snuggle in the middle of the night. I was annoyed until I realized that it was 10 minutes after the time she was born (today's her birthday). So I let her in bed with me and cried mommy tears thinking about having held her and snuggled her for the first time 3 years ago.
I'm waiting for H to bring me J. We're going to snuggle and have his morning milk in bed. My mom and I are taking him to the zoo today! I wonder if he understands it. I'll probably be making obnoxious animal noises to see if he repeats them.
So now, 50 minutes later, DH is still asleep and DD is playing in her bed quietly. I feel like I am in a twilight zone. I have flat ironed my hair, washed my face, and eaten a bowl of cereal all.by.my.self.
DH and I were so exhausted after a traumatic Chuck E Cheese experience we went to bed at 8. B woke up angry at 7 a.m. and now we are playing trains. Getting on the road to see my parents soon. Send booze but I can't drink it.

I need to spend the day doing work that I didn't get to do all week. I'm ready to be done with WFH. I also don't want to actually GO to the office either soo.... I used to get everything done in the afternoons while L napped, but since being pregnant I've been wiped out in the afternoons and am useless. I can't get anything done in the mornings because L is into everything. The VPN is crap after 5 pm, so that leaves with with weekends to work while H is on toddler duty. Boo.

I'm really excited because daycare agreed to let DS go part time (tues/Thursday) this summer. (I have summers off.) it's only sort of a financial savings because we will spend that money on activities. I'm super excited that we will have some $$ to do fun stuff. I was going to keep him home with me those says regardless.
browneyedgirl9, have fun, DS loved swim lessons! We are going to start again in May.
I have a busy day with our first outdoor track meet of the year and our high school has prom tonight, which I sponsor. It is fairly early this year and I am so glad it will be over. It's in a really cool location at our local zoo's aquarium.

We made it through the night!! I always sleep so poorly with DH gone. I'm tired, but I only have the baby, not baby and toddler, so I feel like a million bucks.
O woke up happily and we tried nursing lay down and it worked well. Plus extra snuggles! Going to do some shopping, get Starbucks and hopefully read during his naptime.
If I don't have this baby soon I am going to run out of things to clean. I've done the fridge and am waiting for H to get up and take apart light fixtures to be washed.

Trying not to pee on things. Period is due Monday.
We have soccer this morning. D just stands on the field and won't go after the ball. We played soccer in the backyard and she tried to get the ball from us. I think she is a very reserved kid.
I have to work today. I shouldn't complain because I haven't worked a Saturday (except for inventory) in 1.5 yrs and before that it was every other week. But it sucked leaving my kid waving out the window and missing swimming. And of course my H is making this seem like the hardest thing he has ever been asked to do. He will either be a martyr about all he had to deal with and expect to sleep all day tomorrow. Or he will brag about how amazing he was (being a parent - our kid is 3 - we didn't adopt her last week) and then expect great praise and to sleep all day tomorrow. I mean I have her alone for 3 hours a day minimum and usually a half day on the weekend. We have no food and I wanted to ask him to get groceries but he would have likely asked to sleep for the next 6 Saturdays. Easier for me to go after bedtime.
Today is DS' 1st birthday party, and of course, he's sick. He has a cold and is full of snot. Three wakeups last night and he only finally slept when I gave in and nursed him around 4 am.
I'm so not an entertainer. I stress about having enough food, having food everyone likes, making everything look Martha Stewart/Pinterest style. DH just laughs at it all. I also have a few too many cooks in the kitchen, right now, as my mom, MIL, sister and DH's aunt all want a "job" but I'm really not good at delegating this stuff. It'll all come together and I have to remember to enjoy the moments and what this is really all about.
I teared up a little bit at the bakery yesterday when they showed me the cake. In some ways I still can't believe I'm a mom, as we waited so long for this. Also, how has it already been a year??? I think I'm going to squeeze the heck out of my little guy today!
My best friend had her baby yesterday! I got to go to the hospital twice yesterday to see her. The second time dh and Dd went, and dd was so sweet with the new baby.
I've been so emotional the last couple days about my bff having a baby, and is moving in three weeks. I'm just glad the baby came a few days early so I can spend a lot of time with her.
I may have bought my best friend a necklace from Tiffany because I was getting so sappy. Lol
Our childless friend (who is staying with us) is so great with DS. He had previously teased us for going to bed so early but yesterday said he now understands why we are tired early. LOL

What happened at chuck e cheese?
Well traumatic is a strong word but he was just crazy overstimulated. Refused to eat. Threw his body on the floor when it was time to dance with Chuck E and then refused to leave. Not my brightest idea to bring him out after school but I thought since it was a kids place he would be okay. On the way home started screaming for strawberries so we actually stopped and bought some. Then when he realized he had to go to bed without playing trains....
DH let me sleep in until 9:00!! I came out to the living room to find DH and DD happily playing dolls. Now I'm drinking my coffee while they play with magnatiles.
J keeps saying ah-go and I have no idea what he's saying. Maybe it's a new sound he's learning. It's deff not agua because he says that pretty clear. Maybe he's trying to say the dogs name? Arnold. Hmmm.
I made blueberry muffins and we're working on getting the first floor straightened up. I have an hour till I leave for a bridal shower and I'll be gone all day.
We have our neighborhood babysitter coming tonight after the kids go to bed and DH and I are going to have an appetizer at our favorite restaurant and then go to a the taproom of a brand new brewery where one of our closest friends is a brewer. Should be a great day.
