@kari5186 thanks! When we built it I insisted on a red door. It's pretty but also apparently good feng shui!

And she's lost weight at each appointment for the past two months so we have to start feeding her solids 3 times a day I suck at moming.

I work with some of the worst parents ever, you my dear are not even close! The stories I could tell... I am giving you 3 hugs for this.

Lol, yep. We're on fire today!! The end of the games are always where we shine.

In response to other posts, I hope all the sick babies get better soon! @nykkolaughs - you certainly don't suck at moming!! Take it from another FTM, it's tough but we figure it out as we go. Ella looks like the happiest baby in the world, so you are def doing something right

I have decided that if you replaced the word "molly" with "mommy" in Miley Cyrus's "We can't Stop" it would be the perfect anthem for my sons. Like every word.

The bottom of my driveway is a small lake. And it's going to be below freezing tonight

Is there a way to sweep the water away so that its not a big puddle?

There no where for it to go. The snow is melting and running down our driveway. The foot of our driveway never got properly cleared by the plots, so what was left there is also melting. I'm guessing all the catch basins on our street are covered with snow. I don't eve remember where they are.

Happy Friday girls! Here are my 3 quick brags/drive-by points for today:

-I discovered that if I nurse KJ from both breasts when she wakes up at 6 AM that she will go back to sleep again until 10 AM! #winning

-I had my annual review with my boss reviewing my 2013 work performance. She said I "meet expectations". Considering I was pregnant, missed 3 months for maternity leave and pump half the day since I returned, I am quite pleased.

-I'm feeling really good about my decision to have cleaning people come to our house biweekly instead of monthly. I used to be able to do more myself between their appointments but now is a lot more difficult. I'm looking forward to the mental weight and guilt about what I don't have time to do lessening.

I'm sitting in our accountant's office. Bless you accountant type people. I'm about to doze off listening to the new 2014 changes. Just take my paperwork and tell me how much I owe.

+1 tomorrow morning at 11:45. I've printed out my spreadsheets and forms and I wash my hands of the process!

@ohheyholly, putting this here because I didnt want to hijack bäby giggles thread, but I just saw your siggy and had to tell you that my LO was born on the 27th as well and we call him turtle man

Happy 8 months to all the June 21st babies!!!

PinkPuffyHeart2

So, been laying with LO for an hour while she sleeps with my boob in her mouth and she finally unlatches and rolls away from me. I decide to wait 5 minutes so she gets into deeper sleep before rolling away. She relatches 3 min later... Unlatches a few min after that... I wait 5 min... As soon as I am off the bed, she wakes up crying.

And rewind to earlier today... Nap time. Same type of situation but I fell asleep with her. I woke up and was off the bed for a few minutes watching her sleep peacefully. I rolled like a ninja across the room so I wouldn't creak any floor boards and as soon as my toe touched the top step to go downstairs, she woke up crying.

HOW DOES SHE KNOW?!

Ugh, being a ftm with a baby who has a fever for the first time SUCKS!! I know you all know this, but it's so hard having him so uncomfortable and there being so little I can do about it. Boo!

Eta: I don't think I used the word "so" enough. So so so so so!

Add a badge to your motherhood sash. You worrying and caring proves what a good mom you are.

needanustart

@gigglejiggle he's probably looked at the board and seen that one of us has in fact gotten it on in our kids hospital room. Thanks to that mommy now any one of them can be like, "see, she did it!" They never give up hope in that department.

lioness13

@pinkpuffyheart2 - my LO does the same thing! So crazy sometimes!

Y'all. I'm drunk.

numbersgirl08

I wanna brag on my hubby. He has been a major grump today - he was watching N all day while I worked and she was refusing to nap longer than 30 min and was grumpy herself. I get it - it's hard taking care of a grumpy baby. But he was putting me in a bad mood! Then when I was nursing N for bedtime he comes up and asks why I wanted to order pizza for dinner - if it was just cuz I didn't want to cook and I said yes. He went to the store, came back and started cooking. I went in there to help and he told me to get a glass of wine and go watch the Olympics.

Major points to him tonight!

Mmmm you speak my love language

DH is passed out-he works 3rd shift, has off tonight, and decided to stay up with us during the day instead of napping-so I just gave J a bath, frida-ed her nose and wiped some Vicks on her...you think I was killing her. He slept through her crying the entire time I was doing this on the bed. I'm having a big glass of wine now.

My LO has his first fever too and 4 top teeth coming at once! Two just barely broke through he's hurting so bad it's really breaking my heart. I will be up all night rocking/nursing him.

ColieAnn31

Work and Grayson have kept me busy today but I managed to read all the words!! Grayson fought sleep for over 2 hours and wouldn't go to sleep for anyone but me. This is going to be fun when I'm working until 10. Hopefully he'll adjust quickly to me not being with him 24/7. It broke my heart today when all he wanted was me but I couldn't hold him because I had things I needed to get done but it's also been a busy week for Grayson. 2 top teeth are in and 2 on bottom aren't far behind and he said momma and dada and he's walking along all the furniture now. He's 8 months old today and wearing a 12 month sleeper to bed. Where has the time gone??

itsStackie

DH is still out tonight at a bachelor party, I'd rather he not come home so I have the bed to myself.

dmlk413

DD woke up with a fever and it took over an hour to get her back down. I'm wide awake because my DH is hogging the bed and I just can't get comfortable. He works 3rd shift so I sleep alone most nights and when he is home, he completely takes over the bed. Also, Dd's latch has been terrible and my boob is killing me. I just want to sleep!

Cricket81

I'm right there with you @dmlk413. Lo's fever has kept him waking up a lot and the only place he seems to want to sleep is on me in the glider. Poor little guy, I know he doesn't feel well, but I think I've been in my bed for maybe an hour total tonight. Tomorrow is going to be hard.
Oh, and DH isn't a bed hog, but he snores really loud. It feels like he's taunting me with how great he is sleeping as I rock LO back to sleep again.

On a totally unrelated note, is the 413 in your sn an area code?

HeartLikeMine3

@gigglejiggle, he is adorable and it looks like he's feeling better.
Also thank you soooooo much we got Grayson's adorable little shoes in yesterday. I'll post a picture of him wearing them when he starts feeling better and we finally get out of Jammies. Ahhh all the poor sick babies (

HeartLikeMine3

@cricket81 and @dmlk413, can I join your party of the stoopid sleeping husbands and feverish babies. LO has been only sleeping on me while I'm rocking him he normally goes to bed at 8 and was up every 30 min until 12:30. I went and bought children's Motrin and he finally slept 3.5 hours in his crib. Tylenol wasn't cutting it so if you guys haven't try it go get you some!
As for my husband he's officially pissed me off snoring through our screaming sick baby's wake ups and stealing all the covers :-q

dmlk413

@cricket81 I'm sorry you're not sleeping either! These poor LOs.

The 413 is actually a date (April 13).

dmlk413

@HeartLikeMine3 I'll have to try the Motrin. I gave her Tylenol but I don't think it did much.

It seems like all the babies and husbands are plotting against us!

HeartLikeMine3

@michabush, totally agree the bottom ones weren't that bad. My LO is cutting 4 top teeth at once and he is miserable we finally got a couple hours of sleep after trying Motrin.

tiffletons518

3 sick kids and now my husband has a fever. So. Much. Whining. I may not make it through the weekend.

Cricket81

Has anyone ever noticed LO being extra gassy after having ibuprophen? So much farting and I don't know if it's a symptom of his bug or a side effect of the meds.

Another night time ER trip. Migraine this time. I've never thrown up so much @kelly422 did you work at MCOW when you lived here? They are outstanding!

Hope you're feeling better!  I worked at the Children's ER there, but never the adult one.  I was, however, a patient there a few times with kidney stones!
