DH and I are having a fancy date night in a couple of weeks. I think I'm going to rent a dress from rent the runway, but I have no idea what size I am right now. I predict that I will spend all day today looking at options so I can start figuring out accessories, and then I'll be stressed all week when I'm behind at work due to today's lack of motivation.
Thank goodness Valentine's Day is done. It turned into Halloween part 2. So many goodie bags at school, then presents from my Mom, aunt and friend who all came over yesterday. And a package sent from the ILs.
I mean, I was excited to get the kids little Valentine's and make cookies, so I'm not a total Scrooge. I just didn't expect that it was a full on, gift giving ocassion for everyone else. Easter will be more of the same next month.
I had planned to use our floating holiday to take the day off, but then they made today the start date for my new employee. I am bitterly jealous of H who has the day off, with open daycare.

Our daycare had already scheduled a random teacher in-service for today, so H and I had planned to divide the day with DS so we could both get into the office for a bit. The snowed actually helped in our case because it allowed us to both work from home without guilt.
It's our last full day of vacation, we leave tomorrow evening. It's nice here but I am okay with going home and being back in my own space. I am not looking forward to the work ahead. I have a big event in Vegas in two weeks and I have to leave Stella for the first time for 5 nights:( I am already feeling very anxious about it.
I am glad to be off today, because I still feel bad. We have to finish A's valentines today. She wanted to make them, and has with little to no assistance from me. Today she has to write names on them, and add stickers, and maybe glitter.

H invited ILs over for dinner last night. After being here an hour or so, FIL started puking. At which point, MIL admitted it was the 4th time he had puked. 4th. But she made him come anyways.
WHYYYYYY would you come over if you had been puking??? I now feel like this house is a ticking time bomb until we all get sick. So happy Valentines to me.

I don't want anyone to throw eggs at me but daycare is open and I'm off and it's soooooo amazing! I'm going to sort through baby clothes and see what can be reused. I've gotten out my maternity clothes and am washing them. yay!

The last two nights I stayed up until 11:00 and I am so tired now. Why oh why did I do that? I know my kid's going to wake up at 5:00 so why do I torture myself.
For the first time ever, I tried just setting him up with the iPad on the couch while I tried to get a bit more sleep. It didn't work. So tired!
It's a holiday today and pretty much everything is closed. We've been housebound since Friday afternoon thanks to frigid temperatures so I want to get out today but I have no good ideas.

H and I are off and daycare is open so we are sending them for a bit to have some sort of small day date. I hate pumping so much though and it feels stupid to spend my time away from DS pumping so I am internally cranky about it. Oh, and H keeps suggesting formula which is annoying me.
kdubs923 a friend posted on FB her Valentine baskets for her kids. I was wtf? It's not Easter. Something small is one thing, no one needs a basket full.
timorousbeastie I hope your DH told them to GTFO. I would be pissed b

preppy, how are things with your MIL? I may have missed more of the story.
I really want to get to Ikea today, so I can drop DD off at Smaland and buy a few things I need. The snow is making me second guess that decision, but I also feel lame for staying home all day just because there are like 1.5 inches out...
DS has his first cold. He's a congested mess and slept horribly last night. It doesn't help that he's teething at the same time. I also have a cold and barely slept last night. Thank goodness my mom is here visiting so I can nap later. She leaves tomorrow though.
I'm on ML still, but I'm jealous of everyone with their magical daycare day! If I was working, daycare would be closed and I'd have to take a vacation day because we don't get Presidents' Day.
Does anyone else feel unjustified MOTN rage towards their husband when they have a baby? Right now DD2 sleeps right next to me in the RNP and stopped night pooping over a month ago so I just grab her when she needs to eat MOTN and then put her back. When I look at my husband snoring sometimes I want to shake him.
Dude my baby has only been having one MOTN wake up recently & I know ive got it good. Last night I came back in with the baby to feed her for her one wake up and H had the pillow over his head! Like we make too much noise for those 15 minutes. OMG rage.
H invited ILs over for dinner last night. After being here an hour or so, FIL started puking. At which point, MIL admitted it was the 4th time he had puked. 4th. But she made him come anyways.

Ditto here - my in laws were going to watch him. Instead, DH is sick, the roads are slick and I have him parked in front of the tv. Plus, first tri exhaustion party of 1.
Got some decent stretches of sleep out of my 3 weeks old last night so I'm feeling good this morning. I've been pretty much housebound with the exception of Drs appts since she was born, and I'm over it. We're supposed to have nice weather later in the week so I'm hoping we can get lots of walks in. When were you all able to get out of the house with a newborn and run errands?
My big goals for the day are to fold laundry and make soup and a crock pot meal. It feels overly ambitious :/

E slept until 7:30 after her one feed! I'm hoping she's caught up on sleep from yesterday. She was just off and it was sad. H stayed home to work from home since the snow is kind of a wild card at this point. I can never decide if I prefer having him here wfh. It interrupts our routines, but I do get a little extra help.

I want to leave the house. I've been home so long, but Chase seems pretty snotty this morning and Nods still has a bad cough. I shouldn't complain, because this is the first time they've been here all winter, but I am still over it.
