Also, hugs estrellita. DH and I fought really mean when we were overwhelmed and sleep-deprived with colicky baby DD. It's one of the things we talked about a lot and swore not to do this time around because it's so destructive and so far, so good. But it's hard not to get snappy when you're exhausted.
My in laws are in town and are driving me a little batty. My mil has to examine her every purchase as if she is spending her last dollar. We bought lamps, but now she is 2nd guessing them bc they take 100 instead of 150 watt bulbs.
I typically love shopping, but this is just exhausting.
DS was up at 6:15. I woke up with his cold. Its a rainy crappy day. We ran out to an errand and DS fell asleep within 10 mins 2.5 hrs before his normal nap time and was in a bad mood when he got up. My car needs new brakes and rotars so bye bye $400.
I think I'm over the stomach bug I had yesterday. I hate being sick at least in part because DH is an idiot about me being sick. I always hope he'll figure out how not to be an idiot, but we're ten years in and... nope.
The boys went to Home Depot craft morning. I'm taking O swimming this afternoon.

DH took DS1 out for breakfast and a special treat, which for him is a ride on our city's public transportation, haha. I was going to go to the gym with the baby but DH took off with my wallet/driver's license so we stayed home and took a nap together instead.
Tonight is hopefully our rescheduled double date at the fancy burger place! I'm going to have the sitter come 30min early so DS1 can get used to her, he's been so weird lately about people that aren't me.

estrellita, that sucks but I know some people here have instituted a rule that things said between midnight and 5am don't count. I think it's wise advice.
In my house, anything said before I've had coffee doesn't count.

That's probably a good rule, haha. I was crabby already because it was the first night I had gotten any real amount of sleep in a really long time and H seemed kinda whiny every time he got up. Yes H, it sucks to get up for those MOTN feedings! Trust me I know! That plus the hormones and already having a rough time probably made me a little over sensitive. Oh well, hopefully it won't happen again, or at least he picks better words!
C has been napping for over two hours and since H is out of town I've gotten so much done! I am doing cleaning our bedroom - it is a ridiculous mess and super dusty. It's a gorgeous day so I think we will go to the park later. It's kind of nice having the weekend with C Also, I saw this on FB earlier and it cracked me up.

I chopped my hair off! It's pretty fun and curly. I like it. SIL and nephew are here for dd's baptism tomorrow. DS is having a ball playing with his older cousin. Good Saturday!
There is a rug on rugsusa.com that I really want but it doesn't come in a large enough size and seems to be exclusive to them. It keeps showing up in the ad at the top of PB, taunting me. Fucking rugsusa.com.
Have you tried right-clicking and choosing "search google for this image" ? I've found products at alternate websites that way.
That's a great tip! Still no luck
We need a 10x14 rug which is hard to find and expensive so my options are super limited.
My sister is having her baby right.now! Stalling out at 5 cm for 5+ hours despite being more than maxed out on pitocin dosage and almost 24 hours since water broke has earned her a c section but at this point I don't think she cares. Eeeeeeee!!
aspentosh I love ON workout stuff. It has held up really well for me , is pretty stylish and I can ALWAYS find something cute on sale. Their compression pants are great.
Had a nice morning which included hitting up the gym, going to the book store where H and I ended up chatting with a really nice Mom of a little boy M's age old who lives around the corner from us. We exchanged contact info so hopefully will have a play date soon.
Tonight we are going go to open play at the gymnastic studio And dinner with pippa

I formula fed so H and I split night duties from the start. He was a deeper sleeper than me at first, so I did have to wake him sometimes.
2 years later, there are nights that H hears something that I don't. It's ok. Also decide on a plan before bed to avoid fights overnight, when tempers are short.
It might help if your H does all 10pm bottles, while you go to bed early. Then you do all 5am, while he sleeps in. Or the opposite if that works better. Then you alternate 3am. That is what we did.
We went to a bday party. Outside. It was two degrees out. It was pretty much a disaster, Ds was so cranky and then was cold so he screamed and screamed getting Into the car. Oh well the cake was yummy.
It was supposed to be a sledding party but we don't have any snow:(. And it has been so warm they figured we could just play at the playground.
Ds is finally napping and I am going to fold laundr and watch parks and rec.
My sister just picked up DD and we're kid free until tomorrow at noon! Since DH feels like crap and our original plans got cancelled (nice dinner and comedy show) I decided to do something nice for myself guilt free. DH is napping and I'm getting a pedicure. I don't even feel rushed since he's not home alone with DD (he doesn't make me feel rushed I just naturally always do).
Update: You guys should've seen the lady's (who's doing my pedicure) face after soaking my feet in water for awhile! I did babyfoot last week and there is still peeling happening. I had to explain it to her. She keeps asking me if it hurts. Haha nope!
H and I got into a pretty big fight. E was stirring and fussing and H wasn't getting up. I'm not dumb, I can tell when he's awake. So I got up, annoyed because H was supposed to do MOTN feedings. I do them all week, it's only fair he does it on the weekends, right? So he says he "didn't hear him", I called BS, he told me to fuck off. Um no. I told him he could leave and go stay at his parents if he's going to talk to me that way. He knows I'm already having a rough time so saying that is just kicking me while I'm down. Things are calmed down now but I'm still really hurt But maybe I'm just being hormonal.
Newborns push people to their limits. I'm pretty sure DH and I have have more conflict between us than at almost any other time in our marriage.
That was pretty jerky of him though. Hopefully he'll apologize and you can move forward without too many hard feelings.

H did apologize and we've moved past it. I told him it was fine, we were just tired. Hopefully we will both remember this next time we are crabby and tired in the middle of the night! Funny thing is we've been closer than ever since E was born (I expected us to be really crabby at each other) so this was a little out of nowhere. I do think we need a better MOTN plan though. During the week H usually feeds E around 10-11 while I go to bed and pretty much feed the rest of the times until he gets home from work the next evening. I think for the weekends maybe we can do the opposite for nights, or switch off or something. We will have to discuss it
We just got back from a walk. It is so nice out and it's supposed to be even nicer tomorrow! I'm loving this! And E seems to like walks. He slept the whole way!
I think we are very on edge about not knowing when this baby is coming, not knowing how our lives are going to change, etc. We both completely flipped out over tiny things today. It ended up with him shouting that I don't have a kind bone in my body (LOL) and me saying that he was really stupid to reproduce with me then, and he better not expect to be with me in the delivery room when I give birth.
And then 20 minutes later, we were cracking up about it and life was grand again. I cannot handle these roller-coaster emotions and I didn't expect for him to have them too!
