May 2013 Moms

Ten Things Tuesday

1. This is my last week home with LO and I'm going to make the most of it.

2. I'm realizing that I'm not as ready to go back to work as I thought, now that my return is imminent.

3. My Mom is being released from the hospital today and I hope she can break her record of three weeks home before she goes back again.

4. I already have my UO and FFC and hope I can remember them when the time comes.

5. DH and I went on a double date with another couple this weekend which was really nice.

6. I keep thinking forward to LO's first birthday.

7. I finally found smaller breastshields for my pump and I seem to be getting a little more milk with them.

8. I'm anticipating an argument with DH next week when I tell him that he's going to have to help out with me back to work.

9. I know she needs to, but I kind of don't want DD to nap this week because I want every second of the day with her.

10. I decided I want to go to culinary school, but not to become a chef. I just want to learn all I can for cooking at home.

Re: Ten Things Tuesday

  • 1. Went back to work on Sunday. It was harder than I thought it would be.
    2. My hubby is waiting to find out about a job out of state
    3. Having a lot of anxiety. ( see #2)
    4. LO had made such progress with tummy time this week!
    5. My oldest starts middle school on Thursday
    6. Keep wishing time would slow down! Can't believe LO is three months Saturday!
    7. Hoping hubby and I can have a date night soon!
    8. I am trying really hard to stick with pumping but since going back to work my supply is dropping.
    9. Formula is so stinking expensive! ( see #8)
    10. Trying to cherish every moment with both of my sons! Time is going too fast!

  • 1. I went to babies r us last night for a bunch of formula and left it all in the car.

    2. I didn't realize until I noticed our old box was completely empty after DD 8:00 feeding.

    3. My husband has the car at work and not only that we have only one car right now.

    4. I am so screwed....I texted DH and he read it so I'm assuming he will drop it off. His lunch break isn't until 12 :/

    5. I feel like a horrible mom right now.

    6. DD is laying in my arms quietly, I hope she last a while longer.

    7. MIL bought DD a bumbo and says she is fine to get in it now. My pedi said wait until she can sit up better.

    8. I'm starting a photography business. I'm really excited, I have always wanted to and finally my DH convinced me to go for it. He is really good so he is going to be apart of it to.

    9. I'm ready for October.

    10. DD is falling asleep, thank The Lord.

  • 1. Dentist today since I had to cancel the last appointment because of being sick. Nervous about cavities.

    2. G was having much less gas since I cut out soy, but this morning he was in a lot of pain again. :(

    3. My Mom was hospitalized this weekend for what they think might be mini strokes. She scheduled to fly here on Monday, and swears she still can. I'm nervous about her flying, and selfishly, Bout the possibility of her having another one while holding LO. :(

    4. Even more, I'm nervous that this is the beginning of her health failing. :(

    5. I quit pumping for a while, and my supply definitely adjusted. Now I need to start again, to have bottles for a few upcoming things, and I'm barely getting anything.

    6. I need more shorts/pants, but shopping is tough with G!

    7. We get the keys to the new house tomorrow, and packers come on Thursday!

    8. I'm becoming one of those people who thinks coconut oil is the answer to everything. Margarine, diaper cream, face wash, nipple ointment... I might as well start bathing in it. Lol

    9. I bought a boppy so G could do tummy time in more ways. But he pushes off with his feet and dives over it, so he can suck on the blanket below. Suffocation risk indeed!

    10. I'm eating oatmeal like it's my job. See #5. With coconut oil on it. See #8.
  • 1. I started back at work last week with the intention of taking 2 days per week of parental leave. I'm quickly seeing I can't manage this project in only 3 days a week.
    2. I'm going to work a few hrs on Mondays and Fridays... Selfishly because I can work when I want those days and bank the parental leave to take additional time around the holidays.
    3. I get my hair cut Friday. Can't wait.
    4. LO slept from 8:30 - 3:30 last night. Longest stretch yet.
    5. Wish I knew what was for dinner
    6. I should be working and not bumping.
    7. Bumping is more fun.
    8. I could still use a nap (see #4)
    9. My mom made and brought me lunch today. I loved it.
    10. I've started swimming. I feel like a fat cow in my bathing suit but that's why I stayed swimming in the first place. It's a vicious cycle.

  • 1. Lex had her first round of vaccines today about 4 hours ago and seems to be doing ok. Thanks to everyone who replied to my worry post!
    2. I forgot to cancel the walk-through from a moving company we aren't going to use and the lady showed up right when she was supposed to. I was...not...ready.
    3. My belly is so flabby that L can stand on it while I'm sitting upright. Does that make sense? It's bad. Real bad.
    4. I watched 3 episodes of American Pickers this afternoon while L lazily took a bottle and then fell fast asleep on me. It was awesome. 
    5. I dread pumping while traveling.
    6. It's crazy to think that the way life is right this very moment will be so different in even one month's time. I'm already realizing how fast they grow up. 
    7. I'm totally putting off washing pump parts and bottles. TB is great for that.
    8. I'm so glad Husband is able to take a ton of time off as he wraps up his job- Lexie is only a little baby once and it's awesome that our situation has allowed him to spend so much time with her that he otherwise wouldn't get. We will never get a second chance at this and I'm so grateful for the way it's worked out. Totally priceless.
    9. L starts and ends her day with daddy (he gives first and last bottles while I pump). I love it. But it does make me feel strangely incompetent/non-confident to put her to bed myself.
    10. I love that I can have the occasional beer now. 
    She is here! 5-29-13

  • 1. I'm so proud of DS rolling from back to tummy to back today for the first time!
    2. I wish we had more money so I could decorate the house.
    3. I'm a little annoyed at some in laws for making more trouble for MIL, she feels like she has to have another birthday party for her youngest daughter just for SIL's family to attend.
    4. I'm excited about taking DS to a nearby amusement park this weekend! Yay for frozen lemonades, kettle corn, and fresh doughnuts! LOL
    5. I love painting my nails but feel like I need to be in a separate room from DS so the fumes don't get to him.
    6. I wish DH was home more to enjoy the little moments with our son.
    7. My sister just moved to college (my alma mater) and I'm all excited/worried/jealous since she gets to be with some of my friends.
    8. I want all the nautical squishables from squishable.com
    9. I just got a whole bunch of classic literature for my birthday and I've yet to get started reading them all.
    10. I love reading everyone's ten things but often see them on Wednesday

  • 1. I managed to take a walk, shower, go to the grocery store with a very cranky baby, put dinner in the slow cooker, vacuum, and take care of a cranky baby.

    2. I am proud of myself forgetting so much done today see above.

    3. I really respect some of these SAHM with multiple children I can't seem to get anything done with one.

    4. I need to make a schedule because I feel I would be better organized that way.

    5. LO has been very needy lately.

    6. Spent money on another bottle LO hates it and just chews on the nipple.

    7. I still have not left LO and I don't plan to anytime soon.

    8. My mom keeps telling me that DH and I need a date night and she will take DS what she doesn't understand is that DH and I are homebodies and even before DS was born we never did much. We are happy with take out and a movie. Oh and see #6

    9. DH took the dog on a walk and saw a man walking his cat and he told DH "watch your dog" really??

    10. Excited for these slow cooker pulled pork sandwiches. Thank you to whoever posted that recipe two weeks ago.
