Today is day 1 of 10 of DH being gone. Pizza has been ordered and we're on our second episode of Super Why already! We actually have a pretty busy weekend planned so that will be good but I'm just so lazy today I said "screw it" and so my night will be pizza, cartoons and then once she's in bed I'll finally watch the Big Brother finale from last night.
Today during my lunch a coworker came in to talk to me about car seats because as she stated it, "I know you know a lot about this stuff.". I was like "ME? YOU WANT TO ASK MY OPINION AND SUGGESTIONS ON CAR SEATS?!?!?"
We had the best day! Took Rubes out for a pedi, lunch and used my coupons on long sleeved (impossible to find, so I bought them now) Christmas dresses pretty much of her choosing. Errands.
Let DD spend too much at Target on craft supplies for mom, son, daughter pumpkin making. Whatever. It was a fun hour, they came out cute and I have no icky mess anywhere.
Take and Bake for dinner. Kids are tired so they'll be asleep within the hour.
We have a heart beat! And only one baby! A squirmy little one and no placenta previa. Seriously could not have had a better checkup this morning. I'm so grateful. pugz I'm ready to be added to the due date list - 4/12/16, team green.
The OB said that there's a woman I referred to him who is almost due now, but he couldn't remember her name. I have NO idea who he's talking about at all. I mean, I sing the guy's praises to everyone who wants to talk about anything related to my DD's birth or birthing in general in RI, so it's entirely possible I've referred internet friends to him... but it's someone that knows my full name and I'm written in her chart as the referring patient. I seriously can't think of anyone that I know that is pregnant right now and would be seeing my OB and it's driving me nuts not to know!
We found out today baby #2 is a boy. I'm very glad all looked healthy but am definitely a little bummed I won't have two girls. Although with the way DD has been acting lately I don't think I could handle two girls!
I feel like I need things to do during the day with DD. Today we went to the grocery store and went on a walk and started OITNB on Netflix. How do I find mom groups? What can I do with a newborn that isn't going to target daily?

DH took the first half of today with M and I took the second half because he's sick. He is driving me bonkers. He wants this, then that, then gets pissed when we give him what he wants. OMG child.

I get it. I feel nervous at the thought of having a boy but in the same way, it would be cool to see h play hockey etc. one of each is nice! Congrats!

Sit home and enjoy that awesome! Do what you want when you can when your kid still doesn't care.
Pretty soon your kid will be 4 and required to be entertained and enlightened. It's not as much fun as it sounds sometimes.
DS came up to me tonight with his hands out. I thought he was going to pat my cheeks but he stuck a finger up my nose and scratched HARD. Blood everywhere.
My friends want to plan a boozy girls' weekend away and I'm trying to think how I can direct them towards a date in the fall instead of in 2016. I don't want to be the only sober one if I'm pregnant.

Do you have a library near you? I loved taking DD to book babies when she was little and it was a nice way to get out of the house and around adults. I got more out of it than she did!

I found my mom groups through my church, through the health region (I went to the "breastfeeding cafe", which was poorly named in that it offered no food or drink and our topics strayed very far from bf-ing).
What do you like to do? The joy of a newborn is doing what you like. Meet friends/coworkers for lunch. Go to the library, even to just read magazines. Walk. Lounge. Watch that inappropriate TV show.
Although if DD turns out to be a lesbian, it was probably all the OITNB at a very impressionable age.
DS must have been more tired than I thought. I just laid him down on my bed to calm him before starting to nurse him to sleep, and he just fell asleep on his own. He had a 2.5 oz bottle about an hour ago.
Now what? Say I put him in his bed now. What about my boobs? Do I pump now to empty/stimulate them, or wait and see if he wakes up?

H got dressed this morning. Apparently one of my tshirts got mixed in with his laundry. Maybe old navy should rename their boyfriend shirts "silly husband" shirts!

DD was a cranky wakeful mess from like 2am-6am this morning nursing a lot and only sleeping in tiny increments.
Then she slept from just before 8am to 10am, quick feeding and then slept again until 145pm. So annoying.
I've been swaddling today for naps and I thinks it's helping. During the first 2-3 weeks of her life in her slept newborn phase she didn't have much of a startle reflex and it didn't seem to wake her up. Now that she's a little more awake and aware it seems to affect her sleep.
So hopefully swaddling overnight will help and I'll get some actual sleep tonight.

I'm relaxing in the recliner with a sleeping baby on my chest ❤️ hopefully he will stay asleep when I move him to my left side so I can eat dinner (I'm right handed).
Apparently DS1 is the youngest in his class but has the biggest vocabulary
- Our dog farted in the living room while we were playing and S sniffed a couple of time and said "Yuck mommy! I think you need to change your diaper!" lol
- I'm at 94% of goal at work! I'm kind of nervous about going too far over since I have until Dec. 31st but this is the highest I've been since taking this position in Jan. '13.
- My sister sent me this since I told her I'm worried about how much I've been eating:
Keep eating. I ate so much. It's fine. It finds its way off. Eat everything. Plus you aren't drinking. Probably the same amount of calories per day. This is how I justify it.
@bcarp, yay!!!!! A boy will be so fun. And there are super cute coordinating boy/girl outfits.
