Thought I'd start a thread as I have no questions. Just statements. Please add as you wish 
1. We moved ds to his room and floor bed. He honestly could have cared less. I'm a little sad. The monitor I got sucks but I can hear him quite the 5 step distance between us. But sometimes I worry he might make noise and I won't hear him right away. And he will cry and I won't go to him. Complete irrational fear and worry I know.
2. His 2 month needles are this week. He will be 9 weeks Thursday. So I'm looking at a double whammy of building immunity and growth spurt. Yippee kay-yay. Usually he gets a super sleepy day before one hits. Today was a super sleepy day. We will see if the pattern stands.
3. I really want my friend to ask me to be in her wedding. I see her friends post the card on fb and she commented 4 down 2 to go I hope one is for me
4. Ds just shimmied from my shoulder to the crook of my neck to snuggle. I don't want to put him down. Such a sweet pea.
5. I don't miss work. But props to all you who have. Really. It must be hard.
Anyone else ...?

Re: random thoughts.
2. A girl in a fb group I'm in is super spoiled an annoying about everything that has to do with her pregnancy. She posts every time someone buys something off her registry and complained that they didn't get her the bibs she wanted. She posts every last detail of her nursery progress and tonight ranted about how the mobile she got doesn't fit the crib frame and she can't find attachments. . While another girl is struggling through ivf and several other girls are have tttc. I want to say something smart but it's such a small and tight group that it could really screw things up.
3. I told dh 3 times to turn off the light In the living room before he fell asleep and he said he wasn't falling asleep. He's asleep and I have a baby on my boob.
4. I woke him up
2. DH "let" me take a bath tonight, 5 minutes in I hear shouting because DS vomited and it went in his eye. Of course that was the end of my relaxation time.
3. I both miss work and dread going back simultaneously.
4. I signed my DS up for full time daycare even though my MIL wants to watch him one day a week. She is a reckless person and I don't trust her with a houseplant never mind my precious LO. My DH doesn't know that I'm not going to let our DS go with her. I've been avoiding the discussion (aka fight) all summer but now the end is near and I'm worried it's going to get ugly.
5. My husband is a musician and has 60+ gigs this summer. I love being home with our LO but most nights around 11:30 I reminisce about the carefree days when I traveled with the band and danced the night away. Now I just read about the fun on Facebook.
6. Speaking of gigs. My DH used gig money to buy me the rediculosly expensive Mamaroo so I could get some sleep. It's almost 4am and DS is asleep on my chest because I'm too leanant to keep putting him back in the thing after he cries for me.
Wow I can't believe how good that felt to write down! I hardly ever post but this vent session is awesome!
2. DS has been sleeping one two hour stretch in his crib at night. Then he might go back down for another stretch, but I've been too tired to rock him to a deep enough sleep to try setting him down so he's been coming to bed with me.
2.5 I'm sure DH is not happy with this and thinks DS is getting spoiled. But until he's up with him every one or two hours I refuse to give a rat's ass.
3. I start work in two weeks and am excited for adult interaction.
4. Two days before DS officially starts daycare he's going for "test" runs. This means I get to shop for new clothes for this sexy new body (haha), get a haircut, and go to eat with DH. I'm excited.
2. Looking at daycares this week. I feel like a bad mom since I can't wait to go back to work.
3. And stop BFing.
4. I need to clean but am so unmotivated.
2. I had a 24 hour stomach bug this weekend, and now i have a cold. Wth!
3. I have to go to a wedding this weekend and still have nothing to wear that i can nurse in. Do you think sweatpants and a nursing tank are acceptable?
I have razor burn in my butt crack.
DS has a cold. I'm bummed that he's sick but I'm glad I have an excuse not to leave the house today.
I seriously love Talenti gelato. The double dark chocolate flavor is heaven.
I'd kill for a crunchy taco right now.
DS: 11/8/11 | 9 lb 7 oz, 22 in
DD: 5/22/14 | 9 lb 9 oz, 21.5 in
2) I seriously have a love/hate relationship with nursing. We bottle/formula fed our firstborn (who is 6) and hubby helped out so much more than he did with our daughter (who's 4) and our son who is almost 7 weeks. I LOVE breastfeeding but am slightly jealous of moms who formula or bottle feed
3) I have to go back to work soon and am so sad about it!
4) I love being a mom of 3 more than I thought possible!
The baby sitter I had lined up for part time care, roughly 4 hours 3-4 times a week completely flaked. I'm talking not even answering texts or calls or fb messages as a last resort. Infuriating!
We are about to go for 2 month shots in a few and I'm so nervous I could scream.
I've been craving taco bueno since I was pregnant. I miss Texas!
We should just keep this an ongoing thread like April 14. Theirs is so epic!

2) My MIL is such drama and I don't want her near my DD at all. Wish I could trade MIL in for a nice one.
3) DD received her 2mo immunization shots today and I cried. Hearing her cry like that was the worst.
4) I'm hoping DH receives a promotion so we can move. I'm excited about the possibility of owning a home again, but I just am worried about living in the same city as MIL- she only causes trouble in my marriage
1) last night Ds slept for 6 hours straight it was amazing!
2) dieting is getting hard. I have 10 more pounds to go
3) forget the diet I'm making peanut butter brownies on Friday
2) So not looking forward to DH leaving for 2 weeks for his annual training with the military and needing family to come watch the LOs.
3) Can't wait for this baby weight to fall off so I can wear normal clothes. NOTHING fits!!! And she's 2 months old. Come on already!!
4) DS1 he's 2 and 1/2, but incredibly head strong!!! And I'm really over the potty training fight with him. He knows he has to go as he will tell you but then refuses to sit on the potty! I'm so tired of washing the couch, scrubbing the carpet and every other thing a boy can pee on. Just freaking pee in the potty already!!!! Ughhh!!!!
2. I took a 2 hour nap with DD this afternoon. This was the first time I've slept while she's slept during the day. Why didn't i do it sooner?
3. I am OBSESSED with Orange is the New Black.
4. My roots suck right now.
5. It's hot out. I hate living in the swamp of DC.
6. I wish we had a pool. My dog would be happy too.
:P
1. I seriously need a hair cut. I haven't had it cut in months and I look awful so just keep wearing a bun every day.
2. I wore pre-preg shorts yesterday! Granted they were my fat shorts but pre-preg nonetheless!
3. Sometimes I want to punch MH in the face; he's been a real jerk about some things lately.
4. Am on MSPI diet and have already messed up; not reading bread labels to know there was soy in there.
5. LO screamed her head off for what seemed like hours today, going to, at and coming home from the Dr's office. She cried so hard she started coughing and had trouble breathing. She hates her car seat. And she kept looking at me with a look that I thought looked so scared, it made me want to cry. Now I'm sitting here holding her whike she sleeps, hoping she doesn't hate me or I didnt scar her for life and that she knows how much I love her. I just started crying when I typed that.
6. Had PP checkup today and when Dr asked what I wanted to do about birth control I had no idea how to even answer for a minute. You mean I'm supposed to have sex again
7. Poor DD has facial excema and acne to deal with, on top of her tummy and poop issues. I honestly wish I could take all these things away from her and deal with them myself.
@anniemore - I am working on getting my LO to sleep more too. Kudos to you on your success! Any secret tips to share?
2. LO decides that this is my first week back to work that he'll now sleep in passed 6:30am, instead of doing that when I had time off. Crazy little man.
3. My soon to be SIL told me that my MIL said to her she doesn't like the schedule we made for her. MIL watches my baby while I'm at work and DH is either in class or sleeping (he works overnights). Well MH changed his schedule around so he can go to class without working the night before. This new schedule gives him 3 days off instead of 2. So we only need my MIl to watch baby 3 days a week. Apparently she's upset with that. Too bad, she's going to have to live with it. I'm not going to have her watch LO when either me or MH is home, that's pointless.
4. I'm really sick of hearing about my BIL's wedding and how he is being a huge groomzilla. Seriously my soon to be SIL should grow a pair of balls and tell him to shut up, and learn to compromise with her.
5. I wish I could fit into my shorts/carpis, but because I can't I've been wearing leggings and maxi skirts.
6. I love that MH has stepped up more to help with LO.
I hate hot weather. Unfortunate for a born-and-raised Texan who never plans to move away.
I bought one of those Catalina slimming swimsuits everyone raves about, and it looks awful on me. Not flattering at all.
I'm completely overwhelmed by having two kids. It's so much harder than I imagined. I keep wondering if I made the right decision in changing the family dynamic, then hating myself for having that thought.
I struggle with mom guilt (see above). I feel guilty over every little thing, then feel even guiltier for having guilt in the first place and not just moving on.
I think I have mild PPD (see above x2). I hate the idea of leaving the house.
I finally got myself a crunchy taco today. It was delicious.
DS has been a pill the past couple of days. I don't know if it's bc he's just getting over a cold or bc he's frustrated with me and the baby and he's acting out. Or maybe he's just finally acting like a 2.5yo. I dunno, but it's exhausting.
I have a plugged duct in the left breast. It hurts like crazy.
DS: 11/8/11 | 9 lb 7 oz, 22 in
DD: 5/22/14 | 9 lb 9 oz, 21.5 in
2. We decided last night that we want MIL to take Calvin overnight sometime soon. Date night is fun but sleeping all night would be amaze balls!
That is all!
I'm re watching hells kitchen for the 100th time. IDGAF.
I'm starving today. I smell baking chocolate.
I need to fold the massive pile of diaper flats on my bed.
Despite us moving ds to his own room he's with me tonight. Try to tell me otherwise dh. Just try.
Oh MetLife handles my LOA/FILA approval and they haven't approved the additional two weeks yet. This means I haven't gotten paid this week and, if they don't approve it before Sunday, I won't get paid two weeks in a row.
Then, when it gets approved, I'll be in a different tax bracket where I have to pay an additional 50% in federal taxes.
Of course I can fix that by just changing my withholding but that also means I have to change it back.
I hate that everything is based on east coast time. I hate that it is 1p here and people are getting ready to leave work at their call center (because it is 4pm their time) and so they can't help me until the next day.
I'm upset that my parents house was almost broken into last night (dog growled/security door was locked) and that their cars were broken into two months ago.
I don't want to go back to work.

Then I realized caffeine makes ds wired. Dropped it no problem. Why couldn't I do it earlier?!
I feel guilty but I hate driving it and I want a different car that is easier with a baby and one that I actually pick out.
1. I go back to work two weeks from Monday. I tried on my work pants. Muffin top is no bueno.
2. DD has been in her crib three nights in a row and I have never slept better.
3. We got a call from our #1 choice daycare and were able to tour yesterday. I LOVE it. I feel so comfortable with the teachers in her room. And it's 1 minute from work. Score!
4. I don't know why I continue to watch Scandal. Possibly the worst acting. I can't handle how melodramatic everyone is...
I never thought I'd be one of those moms who has a hard time letting go, but I'm horribly depressed about DS starting mother's day out next month. And it's only 2 days a week, from 9-2:30. I can't imagine how I'll feel when he starts school.
