We had Chinese food for dinner and it was so good, probably because I haven't had it in a long time.
DD is in bed, the house is clean, DH and I are catching up on The League, and I'm using DD's lap desk to sit on the floor and finish Christmas cards. Our kitchen opens up to the family room so I could sit at the table but sitting by the fireplace just seems better.

DS and I headed to the library immediately after daycare and it was good to get him doing something before dinner, I think we feed him too early some nights. He chowed down so I rewarded him with a Christmas cookie.
Now I need to cook soup for tomorrow, fold laundry, finish my Christmas cards and pack my lunch. If I'm feeling really ambitious I'll try to clean up too, but it's already 8, ugh.

My law school (and the entire university) is on lockdown for the 2nd night in a row. Last night guy with gun, making terroristic threats. He was never found. Tonight no idea

'Twas the night before international travel and all through the house, the parents were packing - we're going to the ILs house! Paaaaacccckkking and cleeeaaannning madness!
I really need to pack a hospital bag. I'm currently staring at my carry-on suitcase and there's a pile of stuff to put in it in the other room. But alas I'm not getting up from watching tv in bed to actually do it. Maybe tempting fate will make this baby drop and eventually come on his or her own?

I found this awesome sweater vest at goodwill today. It has no tags, so I have no idea where it is from or even the exact size, but I'm guessing it will fit Chaser next year.
My PISA has basically bit the dust, now my Harmony is inexplicably leaking. I'm be damned if I'm going to buy another pump at this (very late, late) stage in the game. I only have two overnight trips left after this one then it's time to wean. Hopefully I saved the Lactina that was my hospital freebie.
I am so glad this day is over. Work was one shitstorm after the next. Totally bringing labels to work and printing my Christmas card addresses out tomorrow. I don't care.
C has a nasty cough and is having a rough night so far. He's been up three times in the two hours since bedtime, although the most recent seemed more like he was just calling out for Daddy in his sleep.
I have the humidifier running and something like Vicks Vapor Rub (the Honest Co version) on his chest. He doesn't feel warm. Anything else I can do for him? He sounds so pathetic every time he coughs and moans.
DD was home sick today so I had to take off work. H is out of town on a work trip so I was feeling uber stressed. My house is tiny and crammed and has too much stuff in it and was making me claustrophobic. Being Christmas time it is more tight with a giant tree which requires some moving of furniture and we always have online shopping boxes everywhere as we have zero storage.
I got so much done today. I moved rugs from one room to another which involved a lot of furniture moving.
I haven't told H and he better be impressed when he gets home tomorrow. I did an insane amount of work while not being able to put the baby down and cleaning up vomit. I even did all the "errand running" I needed to do from my couch thanks to Amazon Now. He better be crazy impressed or he can sleep on the couch.
DD pooped on the potty for the first time today! She asked to go potty as she often does, but usually she just sits there and this time she pooped! And then I had a hard time wiping her butt, she didn't want to let me do it.
