Morning sickness blows! (I assume this is what you mean).
Ds2 chewed the coating off of my coffee mug. Dh wiped a whole bunch of blue paint chips off his teeth and gums. #parentfail. This is what happens when you get up at 5:30am and then your baby demands your empty travel mug.
On a brighter note, my mom is visiting this morning and the ILs are bringing supper this afternoon, so I basically won't have to parent ds1 today.
DH's family was here late last night. They did some work around the house, then it turned into a large cookout, as expected. We still had people showing up at 8, when I'm usually starting to relax for the night.
DS stayed up wayyyy past his bedtime. Everyone kept comments how late he'd sleep in today, like they know my kid or something. No, he was up at the normal time as I told them he would be. DH is working for 24 hours, so the cranky, overtired toddler is my 100% my problem until tomorrow.

Sorry, starry. Hope you feel better.
Per my exercise post, I will be walking today! We went on a short, easy, family walk yesterday and I can't believe how much just that did for my mood. I think DS and I will walk this morning while DH is at church. This afternoon I'm going to pick up some workout DVDs from the library. Other than that, no real plans, other than getting some cooking done.

Thanks to a suggestion from someone here, I made overnight oats with strawberry kefir and L seemed to enjoy them.
There is an open house here this afternoon so yet another day of cleaning and leaving my house. I'll be so relieved once this place sells even though I dread the thought of moving again.

Taking Lane to MILs this morning to spend the night while H and I go to a wedding and then have a toddler free night of sleep!! I love weddings- mostly for the free food that is usually nicer than what I would get at a restaurant. Lol. Plus seeing old friends, blah blah.

Well, M woke up an hour early again this morning. This time though, he was happy with watching shows on the iPad for an hour. That was until he threw the covers off of me and said "mama down!"
Today was my morning to sleep in, I slept until 8:30! Wheee! I'm sure DH is really tired of PTing DS alone by now, I need to wake up and go help. But here I am, hiding in the bathroom on GBCN (devil).

Ds threw up in the middle of the night. Yuck to changing sheets and pjs. He has been up 2 hours and is already falling asleep on my back. Yay for sickie on a holiday weekend.
In other news, we decided to put in an offer on a house in a neighborhood and ditch the farm.
We bought a couch a couple weeks ago on sale. They're in the process of building it now. I guess since then, it's gone on sale even more because the sales guy we worked with called us up yesterday and offered us $200 off. I thought that was really nice of him! Definitely something he did not have to do since we didn't even know of the sale.
DD1 loves the Ladybug Picnic song from vintage Sesame Street. When we let her listen to it on youtube, she's like a belligerent drunk or obnoxious fan at a bar when we try to stop. "Okay, let's do a different song." "No! LADYBUG PIIIIICNIC!" "MOOOOORRREEEEE LADYBUG!" Same tone and everything, lol.
H is making blueberry pancakes and bacon for breakfast. Yum.
The hormones and drugs are making me have awful hot flashes. It's making it really hard to stay awake while nursing. DH says it's pretty cool in here, so I hate to turn the heat down even more. Ugh. I forgot about this part.

Also, I'm cranky.
Will your kid talk on the phone at all? Time to call all the family from last night and share the joy of early morning overtired toddler.
He's not much of a talker on the phone - he prefers staring at the phone while breathing heavy.

Annoyed! My parents were over last night and took my coffee creamer?! Apparently my aunt is visiting and they needed some. They didn't tell me. So I make coffee this morning and no creamer! I look every where thinking I'm nuts and out it in s cabinet or something. Anyways My coffee was ruined! I mentioned it and my mom says, oh we took yours we didn't think You used it?! Lol who does that

Oooh I would be SO irritated! If there's one thing I can't do without, it's milk and sugar for my coffee! You don't mess with the way someone makes their coffee first thing in the morning! lol
I'm sorry @starry. Hope you feel better soon and that morning sickness stays away.
We fed the babies at 7:30, gave DD1 the iPad with Daniel Tiger and went back to sleep until 9. It was amazing. H is making pancakes now and then we'll all walk over to the farmer's market when the babies get up.
DD slept over at my mom's so we're having a lazy morning here. DH got up early to let the dogs out of their crates and feed them then he came back to bed. I woke up at about 7:30 and played on my phone before coming downstairs to make breakfast. Now I'm relaxing alone in a silent house while DH is still asleep upstairs. So weird to think this is what our life was like for 5 years of marriage before DD and now it seems so foreign.

Today is my nephews baptism. I am the godmother. I hope I can get myself together, my 4 week old had a shot on Friday and diagnosed with reflux. Hopefully the meds will help soon, she's been miserable the past few days.
Hey, you know that 4 days PP model pic??? That's NOT what I look like today. I look 6 months pregnant when I am not wearing my binder. So I am going to church feeling pretty gross.
DH is in a mood AGAIN today. Yesterday it was because DD was moody. Today it is because he has to speak in front of the congregation for one whole minute. Sigh. I feel like I have 3 kids right now. I am trying to keep it together and seem positive, etc...its brutal.
I want to bake today...what do I want to bake people???

I was totally like that!! I was falling asleep mid feeds. . It does pass.
I feel like I need to take back my travel rant from yesterday as DS had an amazing night! We went out to dinner with my family and then back to my sister's house. He ran around with her dog and wore himself out. We came home and he fell asleep within 20 minutes. He's been asleep for 11 hours now! (With his one early morning "nurse me" wake up, which is completely normal.). Today we're going to go shopping and to a carousel. Not sure if he'll love that or freak out!
In other news, I think my mom is a small scale hoarder. Or she's just lazy and never throws anything away. She has stacks of thank you notes from weddings, etc. I pointed out that one couple has been divorced for a few years! I kind of want to go room by room with a trash bag and throw out a bunch of stuff, but I'm really not up for the battle this weekend.
In other news- I just discovered (the same brand!) cookies hiding in the same spot she would hide them when we were little. My mom has lived alone for 8 years. I did check and the expiration date is July 2015! I chuckled to myself because some things never change.
