Ten things Tuesday

What does everyone have on their minds today?

1. I started pumping again yesterday.

 2. DS had been doing so well in his crib even through the infection he had last week but he was up every hour last night. 

3. I think he is trying to stand and that he is possibly hitting a growth spurt.

 4. I have a dr appt Thursday. I'm actually looking forward to it. I have been tired and weird and I think my iron is low again. So I hope she sends me for more iron so I can feel better  

5. I have to order DS invitations but I'm having trouble deciding.

 6. I really need to start crafts. 

7. We have been 'pimping my ride' to a cozy coupe mil got from the thrift store.

 8. I'm afraid this is going to turn into another Pinterest fail.

 9. I'm doing better with my new 'diet'. I think I may try baking 'bread' sometime this week. 

10. My sis wants me to visit next week. I'm a little nervous about DS allergies. She promised she would clean extra and quarantine the dogs. My sis is very sweet.

1. All of the new screen names inspired me to change it. Im gonna try to figure it out on the knot site!

2. Finished the new Emily Giffin book and all I can say is if you haven't read it, don't. Saddened by how much I looked forward to it and how much I disliked it.

3. I met up with a mommy group I found in my area on meetup last week. They were lovely!

4. We bought a Gymboree package and have class today and tomorrow. My guy loves it!

5. I'm sad 24 is over and even sadder by how it ended last night.

6. We are trying to plan a weekend away in a couple of weeks.

7. I had my first post baby hangover this weekend and it really sucks taking care of a baby like that.

8. We had our new patio set delivered yesterday but the weather here in NY is terrible this week.

9. My LO is doing better with sleep but still will only let me put him down and only let me out him down after nursing and rocking. At least he's over the 5-8 time a night wake ups.

10. I chopped my hair off into a long trendy bob and love it! Normally I have remorse after a serious cut.

@starscream‌ wow I can't even imagine walking into that scene! Hopefully he's (and you) are ok. I'm sure in the future you'll have many laughs about this day!

@annarose82‌ I'm going to try to change it! I thought I did but it isn't showing changed. It also randomly changed my avatar- weird! The book was so hard to get thru and I love her stuff and waited so long for it to come out! I was so sad and disappointed I have never read a book like this where I hated every character and the plot and just didn't want to finish it. I love Jane Green books! Which did you just get? @jdoud77‌ we took our guy to Olive Garden last week, he loved it! Especially the breadsticks! I hadn't been in awhile and it was delish.

@starscream omg i really am sorry for all the clean up but i just couldn't stop laughing at your post. I hope you took some pictures and use them for power in the future (like when he's throwing a tantrum at 13 because you're not getting him the iPhone 16 and "ruining his life." You can be all like, oh yeah well look at what I had to do for you!")

@starscream better start duct taping that diaper on!! Lol soooo sorry you had to walk in to such craziness, hopefully he didn't ingest much poop.

1. Everyone keeps saying they're ordering invites off etsy and it's making me second guess just getting invitations that came with the party decor package.

2. I'm getting so excited with all this birthday talk going on! I rented a hall and can't wait to decorate. Food on the other hand is something I'm not excited about, I have NO idea what to serve.

3. DD has been sick the past week so she was up around the clock. I was so sleep deprived but now that she is feeling better and sleeping a little better my body is all out of whack and I can't seem to fall asleep.

4. I really need more activities to do with DD.. She has no interest in her toys. She's a hard little girl to entertain.

5. I'm so glad we've never had a poop fail. I couldn't even imagine having to clean poop out of all her long hair!

6. I decided we're having a ladybug themed party for her birthday so I bought her a ladybug dress costume. It's actually meant for Halloween I think? But oh well!

7. Life has been throwing me too many lemons. I've been trying to stay positive and trying to help SO relax and look on the brighter side of things too. We've been communicating a little better and that means the world to me.

8. I'm actually ready for summer to be over. I've always been crazy for fall. I love cool weather.

9. DD has been starting to take steps while I hold her hands! It's so exciting because she never really cared to last week. It's fun to show her that she can use her legs to walk!

10. I suck at baking but I really want to make DD her own "smash cake" (I hate that term) I'm worried it's not going to turn out though. It's just going to be a med- large cupcake.

@Burrberrymum‌ - was it you that posted the picture of their LO in a duct taped diaper that I think a MIL did?? I was just thinking about that like a week ago!
And I also love your lady bug theme! That's a nickname for my girl so i would love to see pictures! Steal some ideas for future birthdays

Nope that was not me but I remember that photo being posted, can't remember by who though!

Thanks, I was having a hard time deciding on a theme but found some cute packages with ladybugs so I went with that, I will definitely post a photo! I'm so eager to see everyone's birthday decor photos.

@Burrberrymum‌ I'm doing something different and doing a taco bar for LO's birthday party.

LOVE that idea!!

@triplea598‌ Just breathe. Take it one day at a time and try not to focus too far ahead. Positive thoughts your way!!

Salemkitty13

@triplea598 No wonder you are having anxiety that is TOO much. I hope you are getting alot of help.

I'm sorry people keep bugging you about C crawling. If it makes you feel any better as soon as he crawls they will start asking why he isn't walking. Even strangers in the grocery store and even though a 10 month old isn't behind for not walking. Doesn't matter. People =\= good sense

1) I actually got some stuff done today around the house, too bad you can't really tell.
2) DD has been screaming just for the fun of it, soooooo annoying!
3) she started biting me last week. It really hurts with her teeth.
4) FFTC I flipped her on the cheek yesterday when she bit me. I've tried jumping and screaming and pushing her into me and she thinks both of those are funny. I didn't know what else to do, someone told had told me they had to flip their DS to get him to stop. I actually had to do it 3 times because she didn't even acknowledge it, it was so light.
5) Sorry @triplea598‌ your dealing with so much and @jdoud77‌ hope everything goes well ttc.
6) I have 2 showers, a company picnic, and DD's birthday party to plan all within a month of each other.
7) we are getting a couch, love seat, and recliner. All black leather for free from DH uncle Thursday.
8) tons of people are asking when we're having a brother for DD, in so not ready.
9) planning ask these parties is stressing Jr out a bit
10) DD slept pretty good last night but I so feel like I need a nap

1. I decided to watch a youtube video on CPR today during LO's nap. I'm thinking that I may try to take an official training course on it.

2. LO fell today and smacked her head pretty good. She's now sporting a big red bump in the middle of her forehead that I'm pretty sure will turn into a bruise. The worst part is I covered it up with a hat (even though it's gloomy and raining today) so I don't look like a neglectful parent in public.

3. All this birthday talk is giving me anxiety. I feel like I should be a little more organized and actually have some more solid plans. The only thing we've decided so far is that we want to have LO's birthday at DH's family camp on the river. It's a special place in his family (it's been in the family over 100 years!).

4. I can't decide on a theme because, well first I'm indecisive and second the family camp is painted yellow (party will be outside) so any theme needs to go well with that so that pictures will look nice. I was toying with the sunshine theme but that's probably too much yellow and DH doesn't care for rainbow which was my other thought. Other options I thought of are minnie mouse or just a simple pink and teal colors.

5. I spend way too much time on facebook.

6. I just found out that the village that we live in has free concerts in the park Wednesday evenings. LO loves music so I'm super excited to bring her tomorrow!

7. DH and I didn't get our date night that we've been talking about yet. I'm thinking I may schedule a babysitter and surprise DH with a date night this weekend.

8. I managed to go to the craft store today and leave without buying anything. That's hard to do!

9. LO has been fussy since she woke up from her nap so I'm feeding her puffs. They are magical I tell ya. I am however breaking them up into smaller pieces even though she can handle them whole, just to keep her occupied and happy longer.

10. I'm currently craving a vanilla caramel breyers gelato indulgence. I saw an ad for one in a magazine I'm flipping through and it looks so good!

@lilqt3929‌ How about pink lemonade? https://summerspastryperfect.com/Pastry_Perfect/Parties/Pages/Bellas_Pink_Lemonade_Party.html

lilqt3929

@Salemkitty13 that is really cute! Do you think that would be ok given the fact that we live in NY and her birthday is Sept 25th? It won't be summery here then, more then likely.

ETA : see this is my problem, I just over think everything.

Salemkitty13

Oh I don't know. Will you be serving warm drinks? Is it sweater weather? If it is short sleeves and cold drinks I say go for it.

1. I have been slacking posting on TB lately! I read a bunch but D keeps me so busy! Plus I went out of town for a girls weekend last weekend and before that, well I dunno I guess just busy! I missed you gals!

2. D has her top and bottom front teeth and I think her 2 other top teeth will be popping through any day now. She's been a bear like every other day because of it.

3. I slept like shit the last 2 nights and couldn't fall asleep till about 1 and then 2:30 each night. WTF self!?

4. I decided to read the Harry Potter series for about the 9th time and I'm totally loving it. I just started the first book again last night. I was going to get the Emily Giffin book but based on your reviews I'll pass until it's sold in cheaper paperback.

5. I am currently enjoying a glass of red wine and a cigar on the porch reading HP after a long day with D who needs nonstop entertainment and attention!

6. Girls weekend was so much fun. I went to Baltimore and I have to say hanging out with mostly single, young professionals made me feel OLD.

7. DH is out of town and D and I are going to a good friends tomorrow for nachos for dinner night. I am so freaking pumped! I can't wait to see her and their LO who is a month behind ours. He's such a cute, happy little ham! Also I LOVE nachos!

8. We started putting some ideas for D's first bday into place and I hope we can have her party at a local farm that has a pumpkin patch and hayrides! I cannot believe we are approaching a year.

9. We are also having D's christening next month finally. The get together will be small thankfully, way less to plan!

10. I can't wait for fall weather. I am for sure a summer person totally but I love all things fall!

@starscream‌ as always your posts make my day. Wheezy = one in a million child haha! Hope your home is poop free now!

lilqt3929

@Salemkitty13 short sleeves and cold drinks, hopefully, you never know in NY. Anyways, those are great suggestions, I love the enchanted forest idea! Thank you!

@annarose82‌ I forgot about the shopaholic series! I read two of them and enjoyed them, I will have to check the others out!
