Up with a baby with a cold since about 515. Going to be a long day. I'm hoping to get a run in, do some grocery shopping, and just relax. Hopefully a nap later too.
Feeding babies now and then hopefully back to bed till around 8. We need to make a target run later. The one thing I'll is about ML...being able to hit target during the day.
My Life has been filled with commotion lately. Nothing bad or stressful, just a lot going on (tying loose ends up at work, my parents came to stay with us until baby is born, DS is a little ball of energy, etc.)
Last night I was up between 3-4am. Instead of feeling stressed to get back to sleep, I laid there in silence holding my belly and feeling the baby kick.
This is going to sound totally cheesy, but it was so peaceful. If all goes as planned this is my last pregnancy, so it dawned on me that I'll never have these little kicks again. I laid there in silence for about an hour, and I just feel so fortunate.

Curses. Keeping DS up until 830 made him wake up at 5. And I've been up since 4 since my husband woke me up to tell me something not at all important. More coffee, please.
Swim lessons and grocery is the only thing on the agenda today. And a nap!
DH comes home tonight! Man have we missed him. He's been super sweet over text and FaceTime while he's gone, hopefully we can keep up the good vibe when he gets home.
The house is dirty and IDGAF. I kept everyone alive while 32w PG, I think that's a plenty big enough accomplishment.

Our monitor froze sometime overnight. The baby was still asleep when I peeked on him but he was facing the other way. I hope he didn't fuss long before settling back down. Also, the monitor froze with him sitting up & playing. Lol. Maybe he didn't fuss at all and just played for a bit.
Going to the auto show today for something to do and to scope out mom cars.
I'm awake, but it's my day to sleep in, so I'm hiding in bed for the next hour or so. I'm hungry and really want coffee, though, so I don't know if I'm going to make it.
I want to hit up the grocery store early today. Between the Super bowl and upcoming Snowmageddon, I bet the stores will be packed later.
When I saw the forecast, I was so glad I did Costco and Target on Thursday afternoon!
Then, friends invited us over for the Super Bowl tomorrow, so now I have to run to the store to get ingredients for a dip. At least I can just run to the small grocery store close to home.
DD and I have been up since 7, which isn't bad for her. I am letting DH sleep in because he was an grouchy, tired, angry bear yesterday and I would rather have a nice day today.
Today is waxing day. I both love it and hate it. Can't wait to get my armpits back, lol.

I set my alarm so we would be up and ready to go by 9. I'm sure H is going to still be late since he is so slow getting ready. Then a day full of my ILs.
I'm going to work out... Any minute here.... I'm going to find somewhere to ice skate today because DD1 keeps "skating" around the kitchen on plastic plates with a "helmet" (aka hat with earmuffs). My ankle is finally mostly better so I think today's the day. We may take the kids to a pet store to give DD2 a chance to work on animal sounds. Then this afternoon we're going to look at a house not far from where we've been renting. If we like it I think we're going to make an offer. (Eek!)
When I woke up with ds2 this morning at 5am and was carrying him around I stepped in something wet. In my groggy brain I assumed it was baby spit up since he spit over my shoulder often enough. So I kinda smeared my foot along the carpet to dry it off and climbed back into bed. When dh woke up... He stepped in cat poop... SOOOO, I have to wash some smeared carpet and sheets. So gross. Wish my brain worked better at ungodly hours. Eta: just in case it sounds like dh left the mess for me, he cleaned up the pile of poop, but was unaware I intentionally smeared it elsewhere.
Gymnastics for DD1 then we're headed to Disney on Ice later today. Girls though keep saying they are going to Disney World, but we haven't told them yet about our trip in March, so we're not sure if they already caught on, lol!
DS was up around 5. He dozed and nurses for a bit but was soon up for the day. MH got up with him so I could sleep in and it was glorious! I'm feeling much better today.

This morning were taking dd for a hair trim, her first! I'm strangely unsentimental about it. Then we're taking dd to meet our new nephew, can't wait to see what she thinks of him!
Just nursed DS and he fell back asleep. So, now I'm debating whether I should throw on some clothes and do a quick run to the grocery store or try to go back to sleep myself. If I go to the store now, I can get some killer cold medicine and convince the ILs to come play with DS, while I sleep away a good portion of the day. If I wait, who knows what will happen. DH is snoring away next to me, so he's no help.

I'm wearing fair isle print pj pants from Christmas. I think this is acceptable grocery store ware as printed leggings are really popular, right? Cuz I'm not putting jeans on to go to store at 7 am.
The house is dirty and IDGAF. I kept everyone alive while 32w PG, I think that's a plenty big enough accomplishment.
I generally consider keeping everyone alive to be an accomplishment when I'm solo parenting, pregnant or not. Strong work.
Thanks! DS got all his naps and STTN, we had several play dates so he got to have fun, the pets are all doing fine. And I didn't yell at anybody, in spite of being really tired and feeling PG blah. I kept it positive. I'm pretty proud of myself.
OH, and DH called babygirl Marie when we FaceTimed last night. I told him to take all the time he needed to be SURE he wanted to name her that. Because once he says yes, I'm holding him to it. As in, I'm going to do a ridiculous happy baby dance, tell EVERYBODY, and start buying monogrammed stuff.

For some reason my period is hitting me like a ton of bricks. I feel like I'm in labor... Honestly. Back labor, contractions... er cramps shooting down my legs, doubled over in pain- awful. I stayed in bed until 8 after being awake with both kids at 2:30 and just Ds at 4. Once I can get feeling semi normal, we are going to sled in our yard.
Was up at 5:45, but felt amazingly rested. Finally got up around 7 to get going since we have swim lessons this morning.
For those that saw my freaked out evening post, the photog says we can change to a mini session, so I think we're just going to do that. I'm so embarrassed that I apparently can't read to understand her 2 flyers. I was just so used to our old photog that did digital packages. Ugh, I feel like an idiot. Now I just hope the mini sessions line up with our schedule.
After swim lessons I'm setting up shop in the garage today to poly the sign for E's bathroom and during nap time DH and I are going to cut and sand the wood for the top of our Ikea rast that I already stained. DH joked that we'll have doubled the cost with adding to it, but I want it to look a bit more finished.
Then DATE NIGHT!!! We're going to see American Sniper. I'm trying not to have too many preconceived notions about it and watch it as just a movie.
