Soccer practice for C, and then it's my nephews birthday party today. While we are up there, we need to get some stuff for C's party next week. I'm anticipating tired, cranky kids by the time we get home. Hopefully they get a nap in the car on the way up.
I fed W at 6:00 and he went back to sleep at 6:30. Then he woke up fussing at 7:30. I knew he didn't need to eat so I asked H to please take him. After groaning about it he picks W up and starts to get back in bed. I tell him, no please take him out of the room so I can sleep. He gets a little huffy and says, "what do you want me to do with him?" Um, I don't know. Change his diaper? Hold him? Rock him? Do something! I said, it's 7:30, you slept all night, to which he says, I was up at 2:00. Whatever man.
G has been waking up scared and soaked (because he sleeps UNDER his pillow) and ended up in bed with us when the storms rolled in around 9pm. MH went to sleep on the couch, leaving me with a very talkative toddler who stole my pillow all night and talks in his sleep. Need. Coffee. Now.
It's DH's birthday so I can't really give him the stink eye, but I'm going to make him go furniture shopping today. We did sell our old couch and loveseat for more than I thought because he listed it for more, I'll give him that.
We have a hot date to clean and organize the garage.
E has swim and H has tennis. Other than that not much, which is nice.
Do you already have/are you adding shelving? We have a brand new one car garage, and I'm trying to figure out if it's worth putting some up before we move in two weeks so that it doesn't become the repository of crap I expect it to be.
We have some free standing shelves from our old place that we haven't assembled yet so we will be using that. It's a 2 car garage and we only have 1 car - the other side is just piled with strollers, bikes, outdoor toys, ladders, snow shovels, beach stuff, and general crap. You can access that side at all. It's terrible.

Last night went better than I expected. It was still shitty, but could have been worse.
My biggest worry is that Carter has lost more than a pound. He seriously does not have a pound to lose. He's been dropping in percentages steadily, but he is refusing everything. For the better part of a week, he has only eaten a couple bites of things here and there. I've tried everything. He only wants to nurse. I mean he's just sobbing on me and clawing at me. I have to nurse him more than usual so he doesn't get dehydrated while he's sick, because he won't drink water or pedialyte at all.
I didn't want to wean him until after the move because it's such an enormous change already. But I'm getting desperate here.
Last night when he was on the scale, the nurse at the ER questioned his weight (now 20.4lbs) and said, "that can't be right, can it? It should be more right?" And now I feel even more like shit. It's been a struggle to get him to eat for the past year, and now this has set him back even more.
Today is Noah's party. I am exhausted. I think we are going to tell our families today about the pregnancy. The party is only our parents and siblings and my grandma. I am so nervous!

We had a huge problem with this happening with J and he ended up being allergic to dairy even though he didn't exhibit any of the classic symptoms as a baby. We did a full blood allergy workup. He's still little and skinny, but his eating drastically improved and he stopped dropping in percentiles once we changed his diet.

Oh honey, I'm so sorry. Joshua was also small that it was hard to keep weight on him especially when sick. You are don't the best you can, remember that. Will he take any Formula? Go back to a bottle? Popsicles? Sending lots of hugs.
The nanny accepted a position with another family. I'm kind of freaking out. She was the only applicant that we were 100% happy with. And I need to be back at work YESTERDAY. Freaking. Out.

We have ballerina class, and then I'm going to a consignment sale. It's the final day, so everything marked 'reduced' is 50% off. I stock up on so much of her play stuff for so cheap!
My sweet girl is 3 today! I'm feeling really emotional/teary about it especially because I'm having another soon and she won't be the BABY anymore. At birth: 1 year old: 1 year ago: Now:

My baby sister just celebrated her 18th birthday with the most horrific skull tattoo I've ever seen on her shoulder. She posted a pic to facebook yesterday, and I noticed that her skull has a vagina for a mouth. Omg omg omg. She is going to have a vag on her shoulder for the rest of her life. I am DYING. I mean, it shouldn't be funny, it's sad, really, especially since SHE HAS NO CLUE, but I can't stop laughing.
My best friend and I are learning how to cook my Oma and mom's big German feast! We have been talking about learning for years, so we are doing it today! I'm so excited for my favorite meal on the planet!

Horrible human being, party of me.
I need to see this tat.
This. Feel free to PM it to me if you're not wanting to post it for the masses.

We put in these utility shelves and they're the best thing ever. H put cabinets underneath too. I like that it still leaves room under for other stuff.
Abby and I went to Payless today to get her a new pair of shoes--she'd ruined her current pair by dragging the toe to stop her scooter. Well, they were having a BOGO, so I figured I could get Caleb some sandals. And then some sneakers. But then we have 3 pairs, so I may as well get myself a pair. Or two.
Six pairs of shoes and $99 later, we "bought Abby a pair of shoes." Oops. But at least now I have some nice walking sandals for Disney.
