Today is my mother and brother's birthday, and I forgot until facebook reminded me! I feel so bad, usually I get them presents on time (they're not local). I just ordered some things from my mom's wish list (she makes it easy) and I know she won't care they arrive late, but I still feel bad. I'm also probably not getting my brother anything this year - for years I've been sending him presents for Christmas and his birthday but not getting anything back (even a thank you note). It makes me kind of sad, but I think I'm giving up.
I'm mildly hungover after a night out drinking wine with some of the other moms from the building. It was really nice to hang out with them without our kids for once! We need to do that more often. And I really hope we stay friends once we're no longer neighbors.
C was so adorable this morning. He was making "chirp chirp" noises at all the birds this morning while I was getting him dressed. So cute.
I was supposed to go out of town today but it fell through. C was going to spend the night at my parent's house since H has to work on Saturdays, so we're still going to send him and H and I are going on a date to celebrate my BFP. We have a $100 GC to an amazing steak place, and since I won't be having any $15 drinks, I can focus on what kind of delicious steak I want without worrying about the cost!
I am WFH today. N didnt go to bed until 10pm and was up around 630. WTF kid!
DH was super annoying this morning, and riled N up before he left for work.
I already saw a Grey's spoiler so I figured I might as well watch it now instead of waiting for nap time. So far it's as ridiculous as I was imagining. Shonda, do us all a favor and just end the series, please?

DH changed his assistant's flat tire yesterday so I've been teasing him that her husband and his barbershop quartet are going to come sing a thank you song.
(Background: DH's assistant's husband and his barbershop quartet came to the office and serenaded her for Valentine's Day.)
I have a solo day off today!!! I'm going to read hp4 at Starbucks, go clothes shopping, go out for lunch by myself, and then nap / tidy up the house. And maybe definitely day drink.
DS is 5 days old today, so I will be nursing and sleeping.
DD is very jealous this morning. She's almost 5yo, and has been handling it very well. But this morning she is weepy, wants mommy, dragging her feet getting ready. Then DH gets frustrated about being late. I feel bad but there's not much I can do. It's just an adjustment period for everyone.
:::deep breath::::
Can your husband pick up some small little $5 and under toys for you to keep a small stash in for your older child? I picked up a bag of stuff like that for my DS for right after the baby came and it was immensely helpful at times when he was struggling with the new baby around to be able to give him a little 'surprise.' Plus, it would occupy him if I needed to put the baby down, feed, etc.
her water broke 54 hours ago and she has been at the hospital for 24 now. They checked her last night at 8 after lots of strong and close pitocin contractions and baby was still really high. I was expecting a C overnight but it sounds like she is progressing now that she has her epidural!
Sounds like she's havinf the labor and delivery experience that I had!

Just over 24 hours until I get the F out of town for a day and a half, alllll byyyyy myyyyselllllllf. But I'm not excited at all. Nope. (SQUEEEE!)
AJ was being a food throwing hot mess last night at dinner. J and I both told him no, and he pointed at us and babbled sternly. We looked at each other like "Did our kid just tell us off?"

After 3 months L is going back to two naps? I don't mind it, but that hour in the morning comes out of the afternoon nap- I much preferred waking up at 7 and then 3 hours in the afternoon to waking up by 6, one hour in the morning and two in the afternoon. Maybe he is just more tired from allergies...
We have family pics tomorrow night. It's supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow morning only. Well the photographer wants to reschedule them for sunday. I'm annoyed. I know there is a chance it could rain later in the day but the forecast doesn't say so. I have a baby shower OOT sunday so will get back at 4 and then turn around and have pics at 5.
I'm also annoyed about this shower. I'm being nice and going even though it's wasting my entire day. My parents are watching the kids but I don't want to drive with my inlaws so am going alone. At least I can pump while I drive.
I am leaving work at 1 today to help with science enrichment in E's class. Then help with the book fair. I am super pumped to leave work early which is silly since we leave at 3 on Fridays anyway.
H runs the science enrichment for C's grade and had a full on rant last night that he can't get any volunteers for Monday's experiment. He started listing the parents who he either works with or knows their jobs well enough to know they can leave work without needing to use PTO. He is full on judging them. It's funny and side eye worthy all in one big ball.
They booked my OB appt for last Friday (when I had been there Thursday) instead of for today. Didn't realize til I got there. Annoyed because they can't see me til Monday. Trying to decide what to do today.

Our fireplace leaks when it rain. Yesterday we had a guy stop by to look at it and he said that he would be back this morning right at 8 am. Its 8:45 and he still isn't here. I think I've just wasted a Veggie Tales and my dog is crying in the basement. So annoying.
Finally doing potty training bootcamp weekend starting tomorrow! Everytime we try to schedule this, something comes up or he gets sick. So this weekend it is!
Between a new school and potty training all in the same week, I might traumatize my poor child!
Also, getting everyone ready to take him to preschool is so much harder than daycare. I could drop him off whenever at daycare... with school I have a 10 minute window to drop him off in! It's funny how much difference that makes in our morning routine!

I spent extra time on my hair and makeup today and took a selfie. Several of them. Apparently I don't look as good as I thought because ask of my selfies are terrible. Flat hair, no thank you. Oh well, I'm the only one from my department in today.
I just sent an email to DH reminding him that I really want a hammock stand for Mother's Day. I have two hammocks I really like that I've gotten from Mexico and nowhere to put them up. I've mentioned it before to him that I would like a stand so this was just a reminder since Mother's Day is only a few weeks away. We'll see if he comes through.

This last month has been absolute shit-h's grandfather passed away, my grandma was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and probably will pass soon-and I've had so much pelvic pain that I've been such a wreck. I got the 1st good night's sleep I've had in awhile and feel like a normal person today!
We're going to a kid-free Tigers game with a big group of friends tomorrow and h & I are planning on stopping at one of our favorite pizza places on the way home. H is treating me and some of my girlfriends to brunch and a pedi on Sun. So looking forward to this weekend!
