I hope you feel better ssmjlm. And that you are able to get some rest today, bowies! The girls have been waking up at 5:30 the past couple of days. It's way too early. I can handle 6 am, but before then is rough and they're both way overtired all day (particularly DD1, who almost never naps). It's going to be another looooong day.
I'm going to a Nurse In Public event this morning! It's called The Big Latch On. They're trying to break the record for the most people NIP at one time. It's a national event with local groups, I'm lucky there's a group nearby, one town south. There was 100 people at our location NIP last year. www.biglatchon.org It's at a park that I haven't been to before. I hope there's something for DS to do!

First night in the hotel went pretty well even though he had to sleep in a tiny, metal crib. He was up way later than normal but was perfectly pleasant at the rehearsal and dinner. Slept 8:15-4:00 in the crib, woke and I brought him in our bed where he slept until 6:45. He never sleeps that late!
We're heading out for breakfast soon and then to meet up with @vicmo and Bas. Then it's wedding day!
Driving home from Boston today. 12 hours in the car with DH and I, three kids, two dogs and my mom. And all the stuff. It is packed to the gills. I went to throw the last few things in the car to get out of my moms house by 4:15 this morning and the car battery was dead. Crap! So an hour later, we were off. It's going to be a long day. I'm both looking forward to having my mom help for 10 days and dreading because her help is "help" and often makes even more work for DH and I.
Piper was scooting around this morning and bopped her forehead on the bottom bar of the exersaucer. She didn't even cry, just looked at me like "wtf ma" and there's no bump at all. She did spit up about a minute later (I say spit up because there was no wretching or anything, just silence and spitup). She's fine, I assume? Head injuries worth a call include loss of consciousness and a bump?
Waiting for dd to get up so h can take me to urgent care. I assume they can give me some muscle relaxers? (Woke up in the MOTN barely able to move - did something to my neck/shoulder) Then I guess he's on parent duty most of the day.
My breast pump keeps jumping off the nightstand one. It's weird. It does that every couple of weeks.
Going hit the mall to return some stuff today with DS. Hopefully a friend can join us.
I'm going to be happy to get out of the house. BIL is coming over. He's going to help DH fix some things which is good, but he loves to talk about home repair and it just makes me really anxious.
I seriously think I use all my grown up skills at work and am just a mess after that.
I had such a bad calf cramp I had to wake DH up to help me stretch/massage it out last night. It started at my ankle and my whole leg was cramping up through my thigh. Awful.

@littlemoxie, I hope you hear from him soon. That would make me so anxious.
We have two different friends coming over at two different times today. I want to go out for brunch but then we'll pretty much be going all day. Apparently I've become a person who can only do two things per day.
I kept having this same dream last night where I fell asleep nursing the baby in bed with me. I kept startling awake and going over to his PNP to check to make sure he was there.
This is in addition to his wakeups to feed. So tired.
And we have newborn pictures today and someone is grumpy. I'm feeding him as much as I can while trying to get myself ready for pictures.
I've painted 2 exterior vent covers, spray painted a mirror, packed a box while rearranging the kitchen, and am getting ready to touch up some inside paint from the new counters.
I really hope all this work makes our house sell fast once we put it up.
I pulled the trigger and got me a mirena inserted this morning. Dd2 just gone down for her nap so I'm having a lie down too. It's been a rubbish week of sleep for me so I could do with it.
Going to a family party when she wakes up. We'll bring the girls home around 8, have a sitter booked for 8.45 so we can head back out to have grown up time. It's only 2miles down the road. It would have been my grandad's 100th birthday but he died on May 7th.
I am dreading an outside birthday party this morning. The kids will have a blast with a splash pool and some kind of inflatable water thing but what about meeee???
DS2 woke up at 4:15 and never managed to go back to sleep. DS1 woke up at 4:45. I made them stay in bed until 6, but they were babbling and shrieking so I didn't sleep anymore after that. At 6:30 H got up and told me to go back to bed. But the kids were still shrieking, then he would yell at them for shrieking. Around 7:30 I finally fell back asleep.
H does this most annoying thing though, where when he wants me to get up, he brings me breakfast in bed. So I can't complain that he woke me up, because I got breakfast. But dude, 20 mins of sleep is not helpful in the scheme of things.
DH and DD got all ready for swimming lessons and were putting on shoes to leave when the Y called and said that the teacher was sick. DD was so disappointed. It's not quite warm enough this morning to jump in our pool, and we have plans this afternoon, so they're out getting donuts to soften the blow of no swimming today.
I'm drinking a ton of coffee to make up for being up with DS hourly from 2:00 on last night.
Lazy day today and I'm excited. Nowhere to be and nothing we have to get done. DH went out this morning and got us all donuts so not a bad way to start my day! I might run to Sam's later ALONE and I'm pretty excited about that.
Some of my worst pregnancy sleep ever last night. We have a full morning out with the kids this am. Just need to keep them awake on the drive home.so they get a nap in at home. Post nap time we have a bbq and UFC fights at a friends house and I don't want the kids to be too cranky while we are there.
