New Year's Eve evening randoms

[Deleted]

I just had coffee with oceanspray who is super nice and her daughter is adorable.

P took her first steps shortly after that.

It's a good day!

[hamster]

Update to my question last weekend: Betas are good and I have an ultrasound on Monday to make sure everything looks ok!

Got some sparkling cider for tonight. Should be wild, lol.

[glitzy07]

I'm officially on maternity leave as of a half hour ago. Woot!

I'm on episode 7 of Making A Murderer. I just started two days ago.

[osulori]

Before nap, AJ told J he needed to pee on the potty so J stripped him down and left the bathroom (Mr. Fancy Toddler demands privacy when he pees). When he came back in the bathroom, there was poop on the bathroom floor. (I was at work when all this went down) Fast forward to me getting him up from nap...

"Mommy?"
"Yes, buddy?"
"I poop floor!"

Toddlers, man.

I'm considering going to see star wars tonight by myself after ds1 is asleep and Dh gets home with ds1. Not sure how much I want to drive 45mins each way on new years eve though. I'm sure there will be lots of drunk drivers.

[Deleted]

H has decided we are spending our NYE...........


AT CHURCH.

Now I love the sweet baby Jesus as much as the next person. But really. At 8pm? With two wound kids who are excited to see cousins tomorrow.

Yeah this is going to go down well.

I am not happy. I wanted to eat pasta in my pjs and just hang out.

I could cry. He's also making me feel really guilty about not wanting to go.

Fun times at the Dairy's tonight.

[preppy]

DD just got up from a late nap so she should go down closer to 7pm:) We rented Scorch Trials and I made beef stew and we have champagne. I don't know if I will make it to midnight though, we will see!!

[Deleted]

I'm not making it to midnight and I am cool with that. My plan is to eat and eat and eat until my fatass passes out. I also bought IBC cream soda. It's amazingly delicious. And I had a sip of dhs weinstephaner which was even more delicious.

So far we have had pizza rolls. Up next are potato skins. Then fried tortellini and pretzels with cheese dip. Then eclairs. And maybe peppermint bark ice cream.

[tulips]

We're heading home from our friends to get the kids fed and in bed.

Looking forward to cooking with H and relaxing later!

I'm coming over to your house for dinner!

[lindsaymg]

We are going to binge watch something on Netflix and eat chili and drink champagne. Crazy NYE around here. My New Years outfit of LLL pants and UGGs is pretty hot. Ha.

[Deleted]

I downloaded that app someone mentioned that tracks your phone usage. So far my addiction score today is 100+ and I have spent over 4hrs on my phone. Uhm.....

Now, I did surf the Internet while the girls were napping today and J got to watch Toy Story. So in that sense it wasn't a typical day. But 4 hrs?!?!?

[Deleted]

This should be the first night in years I make it to midnight! H just left to pick up take out and I'm opening the first bottle of Prosecco when he gets home.

[turtlegirl]

Perks of the 5 year age gap: DD just fell asleep in my arms and DS1 was able to get me a glass of water from the kitchen! And now he's happily watching TV while I'm stuck under the baby.

[rbp]

My MIL texted me on Monday to offer to watch M tonight since they don't have any plans. I told her that we didn't have any plans either, and she said, "well, we're happy to keep him if y'all just want to sleep in on Friday!" God bless her. So we have dinner reservations then we're going to chill at home.

This is my first NYE with H since 2012-13. The past two years I was traveling and he had to work. Feel sorry for my husband.

[Deleted]

My step sister is engaged!!!!!! She's 5/6 to be engaged leaving my brother as the last holdout and that won't be long, he lives with his girlfriend of almost 3 years and they are 'saving for a house'.

I have the perfect flower girl!

H and I are starting tonight!

I'm so jealous you're done with work. Enjoy your last few hours/days before glitzy 2.0 arrives!

[gibbinator]

I can't get my bottle of wine opened and dh isn't home yet. So I can't even enjoy alcohol tonight apparently.

[FoxInFiji]

Well I had to go to work because my project extension didn't happen even though we were sure it was going to. Now I get work tomorrow and all weekend trying to pull something together.

Also DD has gotten 4 new teeth in the last 6 days! She is super grumpy but sleeping surprisingly well.

On a happier note I uploaded all of my photos from Christmas and I love this one:

Haha I hinted the same thing to my cousin and his fiancee who are getting married in June.  She seemed to really like that idea.  Hopefully DD won't be too shy in front of all those people.

Push the cork down into the bottle. No one should be deprived of wine who can drink it.

[noodleskooze]

@natariru L is obsessed with nipples right now too. But he confuses the word with pimples sometimes...makes for some funny comments about his toddler acne

It's a twist cap

[vtdiamond]

I survived zoo years eve by myself with the kids and just put them to bed. Now going to make myself a nice dinner and enjoy some prosecco!

[arebee]

We took DD swimming at the spa, it has a warm water mineral pool at it, so I hope she'll have a good sleep tonight.

[awkwardpenguin]

Send wine. DD cried for hours this afternoon. She was overtired but WTF baby? I think she is down for the night though, and it's 6:23 EST. The rest of my family is at First Night for kids. It's okay if I'm tipsy when they get back, right?

In an hour once the kids are in bed we'll be doing the exact same thing. Binge watch something on Netflix, eat popcorn and drink champagne. I am rocking a NYE outfit of Land's End yoga pants and a Bravado nursing tank.

I'm massaging my liver to prepare for tonight's festivities.

Ditto!

@natariru, the babies name is Norah. I have no clue if he likes my middle name but dh finally convinced himself Norah was the name. It only took 10 weeks of me saying it.

I strategically swapped "who's turn it is to sleep in" with DH several nights ago, so that it would be MY turn to sleep in tomorrow. So I can get drunk tonight! I don't think he's realized that yet, as we usually remind each other who's turn it is as we're going to bed. When he realizes it's MY turn, not his, I'm gonna be all
