Omg DS has been up every morning this week at 4am and then goes to sleep again at 6am, when I usually wake up. I feel like dying and am blindingly tired. I have gone to sleep at 8:00 a few times to try to catch up.
I think I'm keeping him up later tonight. He is stuffy from a cold so I'm guessing that's a factor.
I have been up since 315. That's early even for me. I had to take Russian to the bus shuttle for the airport. His vacation starts today! He's out of my house until Tuesday.
The new exchange student is quite pleasant at least. I don't get all tense when he opens his mouth..haha. He's just less "intense" all around. He also has EXCELLENT English so I'm not repeating myself a million times just to get a blank stare back.
MH & I both have the day off. DS is going to daycare and we are catching up on appointments / errands. We have music class with the little guy tonight.
Woke up. Still pregnant. DS was crying in his crib at 6:30 and refused to lie in bed with us. "Go downstairs!" he kept saying, so all 3 of us are hanging out in his playroom. We are watching the news on TV and he is watching little baby bum videos on DH's phone. Because clearly we couldn't be doing the exact same thing in mommy and daddy's bedroom...

Today is the last day of summer vacation. DS and I are going to the children's museum as our last hoorah. I'm really going to miss him when I go back to work. But I really like my job and I'm not cut out to stay at home full time.

I'm up pumping. I'm beyond impressed with EPers. I've been pumping once a day since last Saturday since we night weaned to build up my stash.
We are at my parents and have a great day planned. We are baptizing DS2 tomorrow, this morning I'm getting a mani-pedi with my mom and my brows done. My aunt and sister fly in later and are staying at our fav hotel so swimming after nap.
I'm so glad I got the 'ok to wake' clock, it really works for DS. I heard him moving around in his bed and mummering to himself around 5:45, but he did NOT call for us. At 6:01am he said "mommy! My clock is green!" Huzzah to NOT having to get out of bed at 5:45!

Home with DD again today. I really really hope she's all better because we have plans this weekend - birthday party tomorrow and then dutch wonderland Sunday/Monday!
I am working a half day then we are driving to CT for DH's sisters wedding. Once I am done with this wedding (where I am both the planner and a bridesmaid at 8.5 months pregnant) I will be able to just relax and "enjoy" the last 5 weeks of pregnancy. I can't wait for this weekend to be over!
Ugh, finally have my appt to have my iud reinserted this morning. I just scheduled it yesterday, so I'm scrambling to find childcare. I realllllly don't want to bring my crazy 2 yr old. My old nanny is doing housekeeping for my parents today, so both she and my parents suggested I drop him off with her. I hope he doesn't freak out since he doesn't know her. At least he's comfortable in my parents house. Fingers crossed!

Oh man, I hope she gets better soon!
I'm on the mend, but woke up at 4am. Meh. I was going to take the day off anyway to get the house ready for V's party and run errands.
We started potty training with DD on Tuesday at the request of the daycare teachers. Yesterday she had only 1 accident, pooped in the potty, AND she kept her diaper dry last night and told us that she had to go pee this morning. DS, on the other hand, tries to hold his poop and leaves giant stains in his undies and peed so much in his pull-up last night that it leaked out onto his shorts and sheets, and he did not care one bit.

My workout yesterday is killing me today. I can barely move.
TMI question of the day: do pp jumping jacks ever get less... problematic? My workout was very jumping intensive, and even with going to the bathroom right before, it was not a good situation.

She seems all better actually! Fingers crossed. I probably would have kept her home anyways due to yesterday's naptime blowout, but DCP called last night to say she thought she was succumbing to it so she was going to be closed today.
I think we'll go play in the water fountain downtown and run a few errands. I hope you are all better!
I am still sick, I have barely eaten since Monday as so far everything except canned peaches (including water) makes me gassy and nauseated. Negative pregnancy test. I'm considering a trip to the hospital at some point soon to find out wth is wrong with me. Maybe 5am tomorrow or something.

My 2 year old is determined to break me. He is pitching fit after fit, won't sleep, won't let me get him dressed or put shoes on and is generally being a pain in my butt by grabbing my nose, poking my eyes, etc.
I have no patience and it makes me sad. But seriously kid, knock it off.
Ds was pretty bad yesterday so hoping today is better. I'm going to try to take him to a museum or something, get him out of the house and away from the TV that he asks to watch 73949 times a day.
E has been beyond adorable for the last 12 hours. I don't know what's up, but I'll take it.
I barely slept last night. We are signing the counter offer paperwork today and I hope the buyer takes it. Then again, this is only day 4. But ugh, too many things to consider.
I felt Canadian last night. H and I watched CFL because there was nothing else on tv. Thanks to the ESPN app I now know the difference in the rules too.
I slept in vs. doing my usual early morning run the last 2 days and I feel fantastic! So well rested. DH doesn't have to go to work until noon so we are going to have a last day of Summer breakfast out.

I just got one in the mail yesterday. Not sure if it was a fluke or what, but at 7:00 DD came in our room with her green clock, so proud of herself! I assume fluke and there will be more of a learning curve, but I'll take it! I just needed her to stop waking up just as I was going back to bed after DD2's 5am feeding.

Not sure why my 3 year old is sleeping worse than the baby, but it's getting old. He went from sleeping 15ish hours a few weeks ago including naps to 7-9 hrs & fighting us every step of the way. This is just a phase, right?
On the bright side, he's been helping himself to frozen waffles (and enjoying them frozen) so I can take my time waking up.
