DS fought bedtime for a whole 2 hours. WTF kid, he was SO exhausted. Just close your damn eyes!
DH is working OT, so two single-child free girlfriends came over for Chinese food. They ended up leaving early since DS was a mess. I think DS crying and fighting bedtime was good birth control for them for a while.
Productive day! Ran 12 miles, ice bath/shower, 5 loads of laundry, and went to ikea for like 3 hours for stuff for the basement (while carrying DD in the ergo).
DH had a successful first day with E! He did the tummy time, and changed like 5 million poop diapers, and got E to nap in his crib for 3 out of 4 naps! I'm so proud and happy!
Maybe it's just me that my kid won't nap for.
DS never fully STTN when I'm home, but when I'm traveling for work, he does it every time for H. Ugh.

Perfectly acceptable dinner Fwiw last time I behaved like that my mother called the next day and said she was hiring me a housekeeper once a month to help take down stress off these last few months of my pregnancy. Lol totally not a normal response for her. Maybe they'll surprise you.

DD is 7 months and vomited in her crib. We had to bathe her and change her, then she vomited again. She eventually nursed and went back down to sleep, no fever or other symptoms that I can tell. We should just keep an eye on her tonight, right? I feel like there isn't much else we can do and I will probably be a nervous mess checking on her all night.
I'm sorry! I hope it's over quick. Each of my kids have had a stomach bug once and it was less than 24 hours- no fevers. So yeah just keep an eye and have spare sets of sheets/clothes ready just in case.
@mrswindycity, could you do something like make a huge ass celebration meal for when he gets home? Have the boys make signs? Is he running with his phone, could you make videos of you guys cheering and text them periodically?
Cheesy but at least he will feel appreciated. I agree with you, I would not want to do that cluster with two kids.
As someone who ran the marathon I'm betting you are talking about a few years ago pre kids and who ran a much smaller one last week with an amazing H that carted my kids around to see me. If there's no way to have anyone else watch your kids don't go. Your H sounds like he'll understand and he has spectators even if you can't make it. While a marathon is a big deal, it is such a cluster around there and kids make it worse plus speaking for myself I'm so out of it when I finish while I love seeing my family I don't want to be "on" like I have to be when my girls are there. I'd give him a free pass to ignore the family tomorrow night because he's going to be tired and have some special treat but don't go. It is really nice that you are stressing over it so much if that makes sense and he probably understands and appreciates that.
H is snoring so loudly that I might cry. We have no guest bed and the family room couch is so uncomfortable, plus it stays super cold in that room all the time. I may smother him with a blanket before the night is through.
