I hate how DH is so unhelpful with DS whenever guests are over. It's like he forgets he still needs to do all his normal stuff when people visit.
Combined with him not wanting to use the $ we saved to furnish the house and being obsessed with these green couches that are hard to decorate around I'm about to kill him.
And now he's mad because I told him he doesn't get to do the bare minimum just because we have a guest. He gave DS a plain fruit pouch instead of mixing it with yogurt because I hadn't prepped any mixes, Ds was crying because he was hungry and Dh was getting frustrated, DH hadn't taken the dogs out even though he had been up for 2 hours....DUDE COME ON!
The girls slept in until 8:30- it felt nice to sleep in. They were up once at 4:30, but went back to bed nicely.
I think we need to wean A from the pacifier, but H is not on board. He want to send the girls to my parents' house for a week in June for toddler boot camp where they get potty trained and lose the paci... I'm ok with them having a long visit with my parents, but I'm not about to ask them to do the hard work for me.
I got some morning baby snuggles in and now I am off duty for a nap and shower at home while H taps in! It felt so nice and normal to be out in the world driving with the radio up!
The baby's jaundice levels dropped but not enough to go home quite yet. Looking like we may be at the hospital until later this evening and possibly (but hopefully not) tomorrow morning.
BEC question: does anyone else have family members who constantly comment "jealous you get to spend time with him!" or "wish I was there too!" or other similar comments to show how much they miss your kid?
I mean Bas is great and all, but MIL, the reason you haven't seen him since early Feb is that we offered to have you visit any weekend in March or April and you picked a weekend in April.
I think it's people's way of sort of trying to be nice without doing any work.
Earlier in the week I bought a tube of cinnamon rolls for breakfast this morning, and specifically said I was going to make this Sunday. Went to make them this morning and DH confessed that he apparently made them as a "snack" Friday night while I was at work. WTF dude?! I blew up at him and told him how rude that was. He told me I was being ridiculous and stormed off to our room. Whatever dude, don't mess with my cinnamon rolls.
I agree that was rude on your DH's part. And if he made then Friday night, he had a whole day to replace them and choose not to. That's even ruder IMHO.

Agreed. And I even went to the store yesterday so he could have told me to get more when I went.
Oh well, he apologized and all is well. I'm making him go get me lunch to make up for it.

I've had family say it to me and I'm always like "yeah.... I'm their mom. Just like you got to spend so much time with your kids...."
I never thought of DD as a high maintenance baby, but in the last two days I've spent time with two babies the same age who were both looking around calmly for hours while DD is shrieking, squirming, and generally demanding attention.
I'm not sure if DD is needier than I realized or if the other babies are just unusually calm.
I think I'm wearing maternity pants to day. Eff traveling in anything uncomfortable.
I finally dug out my maternity pants this morning. I thought I would be depressed about having to wear them again, but damn, they are so much more comfortable than squeezing myself into regular jeans.

We saw our friend's 4.5 month old last night for the first time in forever. He is the size of an average 8 month old! He's 18 pounds and in 9 month pants already, haha. It makes me worry that E won't be able to wear the ridiculous amount of clothes my mom bought him fit 0-3 and 3-6 months!
I ate so much crap yesterday and was only up .2lbs this morning. It was a miracle.
But I need to get back to the grind and lose the few pounds I gained over the winter. Hiking tomorrow with my mom and sister, with DD on my back should help

No, but every time msniq or I post anything that hints V might not make it to daycare or we have something that might make pickup/dropoff complicated, MIL comments "let us know if you need someone to watch him". Note that they already watch him one afternoon a week.
TIL: If you serve a toddler breakfast consisting of strawberries and ______, they will probably only eat the strawberries and throw a tantrum when you try and get them to eat other things on their plate.
Headed to brunch. Not sure if I want to do the bottomless mimosas at this restaurant, even though I love them, because I have yoga this afternoon and I know I will feel like crap if I do. Decisions, decisions.

M had swim lessons this morning and he was doing so well and having so much fun until he pooped. They don't let them wear swim diapers at this pool so he was in bathing suit with a built in diaper so it was not fun to clean up. I was having flash towards to potty training. Ughhhhhh.
Now H is out taking pictures and sending me links to houses we can never afford. Why does he have to tease me like that.
My kid now has a Gmail account, a frequent flyer number, and we're finishing up his passport application. I'm so excited even though we are not going anywhere until later this year.
I've started side-lying nursing in the mornings so this morning we all snuggled in bed after DS woke up and ate. It was one of those warm, fuzzy family moments where all of the hard work is worth it.
