My baby is one, he woke at 6:31 instead of seeing if he would put himself back to sleep I went in and snuggled with him while he turned 1 officially (6:36). He was so snuggly and sweet, I cried.
Them I saw this on Facebook and laughed, definitely not a member of this board.

I have the best neighbors. He went clamming yesterday and his wife prepared me a tray of baked stuffed clams. No if only I could put down the child long enough to heat them up.
It's almost impossible to keep Andrew's fingers out of his nose since he got hurt yesterday. Every time I turn my head for a second, his finger goes up there. I get it. It hurts. It's dry and crusty and the urge to pick at it is hard to overcome. But because of this, his nose is bleeding again. Ugh. I wonder if running the humidifier would make it hurt less, causing him to pick at it less? I'm willing to try anything.
I think I'm reaching BEC level with my husband about now. I think its largely due to the pregnancy, but he's driving me nuts.
So yesterday, he had an opportunity to get a free table to put in our backyard from a fabricator, which meant he had to take out the car seat and drive to work. I was fine with it, because he promised to reinstall it this morning. Well, of course he woke up late (read- fell back asleep through his alarm) and then ran out of time. Then he stressed himself out so much, that he just couldn't figure out how to install it.
I'm annoyed because I have to get to J's well check, and he knows how much anxiety I have driving myself there, since there's a weird intersection that I always get lost at. So now I have to take J, install the car seat, get to the bank, and then drive my booty all the way to his dr.s appt alone.
It sounds super lame and annoying on my behalf when I type it out, but he does this EVERY time I need him to do something in the am before work. He just can't get it together and it drives me nuts.

One child is off to the sitters for the day and the second one is sleeping peacefully while I drink my coffee.........damn it, seriously as I typed this the second one started crying and wants to nurse. That was some short lived bliss.

I was snuggling with the girls in bed this morning and I tried to convince my husband to stay home with us today. He was such a jerk about it. Geez, man, at least pretend you want to stay home and snuggle.
I'm struggling. I had this super long thing typed out and couldn't bring myself to hit post. I know the first year with a new baby is rough but I'm very close to reaching my wits end with a few things.
Do you need to call your OB? The best time to check in with the doctor is before you reach your wits end, not after. Hormones and lack of sleep make even the smallest thing seem like a much bigger deal, and if big things happen too, its all the worse.
Today is 5 years since my mom died. It feels weird. So much has happened in 5 years. She never met my husband or my children. This sucks and I want to just lay in bed and eat my feelings but I forgot to take off work.

Big hugs. Each year the passes is hard for me too, especially knowing how much she would love her grandbabies. I hope you are able to have some time to yourself today to feel whatever you need to feel.

Humidifier may help. Also putting a little neosporin or even Vaseline just inside the nostrils may help too

(((hugs)))
Here is what I do on that anniversary.... whatever I want. If I want to get up and go to work, I do. If I need to call in sick, or leave early, I do. If I want to eat my feelings in chocolate and wine, I do. Most recently, I just needed to be alone, so I went for a long drive and walked around the mall aimlessly. I didn't want to have to tend to anyone, DH or the kids. Grief is such a weird thing, and it can hit us all over again.

Are there any stores that carry Salt Water sandals? I want to try some on Annabelle. If not I will just order some and send them back. I looked in one department store and didn't see them (Belk).
Are they comfortable enough for her to wear everyday?
I'm going to a bfing group this morning that does weighed feedings. I'm nervous to hear how much she is taking in. But I need to know if I'm not producing enough. Ughhhhh this whole thing sucks so much.
I'm running my first half marathon tomorrow and I had crappy sleep last night and woke up feeling sick this morning. Sore throat, stuffy nose, etc. AND I think AF is about to show up. AND it's supposed to pour rain the entire time.
The universe is conspiring against me to make this the most miserable experience of my life.

It's a proven fact that crappy running conditions cause you to work twice as hard, so you need twice as much recovery. Twice as much beer. Twice as much pizza. A bath that takes twice as long. A double length nap.
I've got a mud run in the morning and this is what I keep telling myself. Although, I guess it doesn't really make a difference if it's raining for that. I'm getting wet and gross regardless.

Good luck! I was thinking of you after your posts about her weight and was hoping you'd be able to do some weighted feeds.
It's amazing how much I have to do for Caleb's birthday when we aren't even having a party. --make cookies for Caleb's daycare --make cake --make frosting for cookies and cake --make lasagna for dinner --clean up the house, as we're having another couple over for dinner --wrap presents --actually decorate the cake --clean up the kitchen for the umpteenth time after making cookies, cake, fondant, frosting and lasagna
