I will so freaking happy when these bottom 2 canines come through. E was a beast today.
My MIL is a piece of work and I am so tired of her selfish shit. She was upset my sister showed up when they were here. Um you showed up unannounced and my sister texted Friday about coming over.

I'm so exhausted but DH needs to take a nap before overnight shift, so I'm by myself. DS has just been a crazy person today and I feel like I'm phoning it in- the TV is on as we speak. And not Daniel Tiger, freaking Teen Mom 2!
Also, looks like something air conditioning related is broken at our house. Don't think it's the actual a/c, but maybe the ... bit that makes air shoot out all over the house? Is that the furnace? Or something duct related? We have obviously called someone to come look because we are hopeless. (In true geek fashion, we tried turning it off and on again. Lol.)

Do you want to feel better? Our AC bit the dust earlier this week. Turned out we hadn't changed the filter since 2011. We are the worst homeowners ever.
(Also the capacitor or something exploded so I didn't feel too bad. It was a cheap fix.)
Bas keeps loooooosing his mind during bath time, to the point that we keep moving bedtime earlier. Kid, seriously, sitting down in the bath is not going to kill you.
We get this email weekly about what your kid should be doing. This week it said "Your baby is 59 weeks. I bet they scream bloody murder in the bathtub." At least they are keeping it real, right?
I mostly love the weekends when dd doesn't nap bc she goes to sleep at 8 instead of 9 and I can have some me time.
For the past 4.5 years dd has relied on me for bedtime wakeups, nursing, bad dreams, etc. She doesn't wake up anymore except for bad dreams but I told dh he better become her go to motn man bc when the baby gets here im not doing it. Well my 5 plus pees in the motn have made sleeping with me nearly impossible so he is on her trundle bed and they are like nightly bffs now. She doesn't even need me to tuck her in. So they are rocking the night thing and I get a king size bed to myself. If i wasn't sweating to death and peeing a million times I would be I'm heaven.

Tonight was our first night trying Ferber with DD. After half an hour of her screaming at the top of her lungs, she is now soundly asleep.
It's taking every ounce of strength I have not to go in there and give her a big hug to say sorry for making her cry. I'm obviously not going to, because waking her up right now would totally defeat the purpose, but I just want to hug my baby. This gets better, right?
DS learned to say his name this weekend and I about die from the cuteness.
Which is good timing because my bad knee isn't currently working and I'm claiming to officially now be dieting so I can't drink as much wine as I'd like tonight...

How old?
Almost 6 months.
I'm trying to remind myself that it can normally take over an hour to get her to sleep with walking her around the house until she falls asleep, so at least it was faster than usual... just with a lot more crying.
I found a cliche phrase I actually hate... "so hard to remember what you did with yourself before having a baby, hey?" no, I had a very full life before baby. a job I loved, several hobbies, busy social life... I didn't sit around pining for the day I'd become a mother and suddenly have something to doooo.
obviously it wasn't meant to be a rude comment, but It just struck me the wrong way and kind of annoyed me.
I'm finally down to the last two episodes of season four of The Good Wife... and Hulu is down. CURSES.
Wait wait wait. Is season 4 the one that just finished, in real "life"? Or is it the one before that? Because I don't get regular TV, and I've been waaaaaaiting for TGW to hit hulu or amazon prime.

Today was a longass day. At several points, DH and I looked at each other and said "Only X more hours until they are in bed!" and then we sobbed because "X" was in double digits.
I mourn my previous life. I mean, the kids are cute and super lovable. But I really wanted to nap today and go see a movie.

I'm not sure... And I'm scared to google! I know there is a big spoiler and I thought it was at the end of season four. I'll be so disappointed if it's season five and I have a whole next season to avoid spoilers!
Ok I just checked.
I wrote something here and then deleted it bc I'm not sure if you want to know or not know if season 4 has the big spoiler in it. So I will not tell you now. Lol. Unless you saw what I wrote before I deleted it and if so, I apologize, but I don't know if knowing when the spoiler happens is a spoiler for you. OMG so much drama in this post. Lolz.

I used to do very little and I miss it. A lot.
absolutely! I used to schedule down time because I love sitting on my couch! I had no lack of things to do, even if I was doing nothing.
I just spent the weekend with a four week old. I alternated between "Baby!" And "WTF have I done?"
He was so cute and snugly and altogether wonderful. But in the four years since we've had DS I have definitely forgotten the zombie weeks that the first few months can represent. We cooked and tried to do everything we could for the new parents just to give them a few hours of sleep here and there.
We had such a great day. Went to a friend's house for brunch and DS and their almost 2 yo son played together while the adults hung out. Came home and DS took a 3 hour nap while we did stuff around the house. DS was so much fun after he got up his nap just playing around with us. Such a nice, relaxing day.
DD keeps moving her bedtime around like a whack-a-mole. It's been 8:30, 8:20, 9:15, and now 9:20. She's been getting up at 8:00, 7:50, 8:00, 8:00. And naps are all over the place. But she's otherwise a happy pukey baby and I don't know if I should try to "schedule" her or not.
I need to call her pedi to ask if her Zantac should be upped given the pukey situation and that she is suddenly hating her cereal and being a bit fussy during her bottles. I am mentally preparing for phone judgement because the pedi is very anti upping the medicine. Sigh.
H just got back from an OOT bachelor party. The first weekend in our new house. While trying to night wean DS. But he's taking all MOTN wake ups tonight! And since DS sleeps upstairs in our new place, I can't hear him cry...so I may get a full night's sleep! Plus - and this is the really exciting part - my new microwave just sensed how long to cook my popcorn. And it's perfect. Fucking technology, man!

Well DD sleeping lasted all of one sleep cycle, as she's awake again after an hour. Restarted the checks at 3 minutes. Every time I think she's starting to wind down, she starts sobbing again
