Saturday Night Randoms.

Hey Hot Mamas, whatcha doing tonight? I know I know we have babies to take care of, but anyone getting out of the house? What's for dinner? Or anything interesting/random happened lately? Any vents about DH/SO?
The board has be kind of repetitive with growth spurts, spit up and boob threads, so let's just talk.

Re: Saturday Night Randoms.

  • DH is working tonight so it will just be me and my girls. We will probably have leftovers and then watch a movie. DD1 will probably pick out tinkerbell secret of the wings.

    What are you up to tonight @RedSaffron?

    Tonight, SO and I will be going to his friend's daughter's first b-day party. We won't be bringing DD cause we feel she's too young to be exposed to the 200 ppl attending.. I'm excited cause I'll be dressing up.
    When I did some errands outside of my house, I got some uncomfortable stares from strangers while I was driving because I check my boobs involuntary to see if its hard by squeezing them. -.-

    @Valigrl21 lol I was typing when you posted haha. I love Tinkerbell, but I'm sure you're tired of watching it 100x lol

  • DH is working right now and  I'm not sure how late he will be tonight. So for now, it's just me, baby girl and the dog. I'm trying to finish up an assignment for school that's due this week and I'll probably watch some netflix and maybe the hockey game or some of the olympics. Real exciting stuff around here!


  • Tonight we are having chicken pot pie and mashed potatoes for dinner (need to go start soon ) and probably a game of candy land with the ds- a little tv and bed! Super exciting Saturday night!

    That's a lot of people for a first birthday party!!  DH is not feeling well. DS keeps falling asleep, so  maybe I'll get to have a little time to myself. I probably will wind up folding laundry and doing dishes.  We're going to have leftover spaghetti tonight.

  • @kiki1978 right?! That's how the first bdays are here. The first 100 is just his and her family alone and the rest is friends and their family. It's not Iike they are inviting that much intentionally, but that's how much ppl they know. I'm not looking forward to the cost of our DD's party because that's how similar its going to be with SO's football team of a family.

    200 people for a first birthday? That's crazy! I don't even know that many people! But it sounds fun to get to get dressed up! Have a good time!

    I love Disney so I don't mind watching tinkerbell again, even if I have the whole thing memorized!

  • MIL is visiting and helping out because my toddler is sick and I am trying to keep him away from the baby as much as possible. Fortunately the toddler loves "nana wo" (her name is Lou)!

    He is also napping in his big boy bed for the first time right now so it's a big day for us, haha. Ds2 is napping in the swing.

    Of course this happened on the same day I sent DH out to buy a second crib. I didn't want to force the transition but I also need the baby out of my bed at some point.

    I think MIL is staying overnight so I was going to make a good dinner- ribeye steaks, brown rice, mushrooms, broccoli.

    I should be sorting out the nursery but instead I'm on here...

  • Vegging on the couch while LO sleeps and eats. I'm going through a bad bout of mastitis :-( Fever has finally come down to an acceptable level and the chills and aches are waning, but my boobs hurt like hell. 

    MIL is cooking us dinner (she's here for a few weeks thank god!)

    DH is feeling under the weather with the start of a cold and he's upstairs in the bed sleeping and hanging out. 
  • Dd is making me steak for dinner :). Prolly the first steak I've had in 10 months because I like mine medium and we were playing it safe. So I'm excited. Prolly will have a glass of red wine with dinner. DH also put together the swing so we're hoping dd will sit in that for more than 5 minutes. It would be nice to sit and enjoy a meal.
    Other than that watching Olympics, giving dd a bath, and then trying to get her down before midnight (half the time she's up 2 times between 10 and midnight so it's almost not worth it)

  • DH took DS to a bday party. I'm rocking DD right now and hope to put her down so I can finish switching out the newborn clothes with 0-3 (sniff sniff). We are having leftover BBQ for dinner and I'm going to make cheddar biscuits. DH promised to bring me a cookie from the party so that's on my mind :)
     
  • Today was the local Founder's Day luncheon for my sorority. I went and took DD with me. So fun to show off my little legacy. She slept through the lunch part so I actually got to eat with two hands! 

    Tonight we've got some reorganizing and tidying to do in the living room. Planning on watching some Olympics. Not sure about dinner.

  • DH is on a business trip for 2 weeks. My inlaws are here helping me now and tomorrow I'm going to my parent's for the week so I can have help in the evenings.

    I think I convinced my inlaws to order a pizza tonight. I've been craving one!

  • We just got back from Target. The kiddos and I will be watching Disney Junior and cleaning the house. The IL's want to visit tomorrow. I think I'm just going to make a frozen pasta skillet for dinner.
  • SO ran to the mall real quick so right now it's me and DS who's nursing. Once he comes home we'll have pizza and salad for dinner and probably watch a movie. Uneventful I know, but I had no desire to get out of my PJs today.

  • We are having a relaxed day. We watched the Olympics and curling. We will most likely watch more Olympics tonight. Hopefully the kids will go to sleep easy and I will be able to get some shut eye.

  • We are having Chili for dinner and then maybe watching a movie while the baby cluster feeds since that is his new evening routine. Super fun stuff haha.

  • SO is at work, my teenager left with her friends.. So it's me and the 4 other kiddos hanging out. It's a pizza for dinner kind of night!
  • All you can eat sushi!!! I'm so glad I'm not pregnant anymore. Woohoo!

  • Have fun at the birthday party! I hope it's as nice over there as it is here today (finally! These gloomy days were killing me!)



    DH works tonight but we had a couple people stop by today so that was nice to see some faces. I've not been out and around too much so it's nice to have people stop by (and then nice when they leave, too!) I'll be catching up on some hulu. I don't know what I'll do for dinner... Maybe a veggie stir fry of sorts.

    I feel like I've abandoned TB but it's so easy not to pick up any technology for days and/or not even turn on my iPad or computer. This is why I love not working- my eyeballs aren't constantly on a screen!

  • @eady I'm a Alpha Omicron Pi. We have two collegiate chapters and five alumnae chapters in the greater Chicago area. It's a fun event.

    I also was an adviser at one of the collegiate chapters for the last five years. I stepped down at winter break since the office I advised required frequent visits to campus. Hard to do with DD. The woman who took over for me was the first officer I advised.

  • Ignoring DH. He was supposed to be at a friends house 'for a couple of hours' and ended up staying gone for almost ten. Meaning once again I got to take care of DS by myself-again. While he went out to a nice restaurant (which we can't afford anymore, his friend treated him.) 

    And turns out I totally could have gone, because DH's friend brought his baby momma and their son. So I'm pretty pissed off.

  • I spent the evening in with my family. DH is home this weekend and thank goodness because DS is sick with a cold and has not been sleeping well at night so DH can tend to DS while I have the baby. We all decided to stay in our pjs all day.

    DH Rant: enjoy having my hubby home for the weekend but even though he had been helpful he does stupid crap that has been making me pissed at him all day. Like when ask him to watch DS so that I can go put dd down for a nap in her crib (trying to make that happen once a day) and he says ok. So what happens? 2 minutes later DS has come upstairs to me while I'm trying to put dd down. So much for that.

    I give up in putting dd down and go find DH in the basement. And he's all like "what? I told him I would be down here if he needed me." WTF DH? What made you think that our 3 year old would be alone for more than 2 minutes before going to find his mom? Since when has that ever worked before? What a cop out!

    And then I let you know that I am frustrated because I didn't get to put DD down and she has been fussy and clingy all day and I missed my chance to be sans DD for an hour, you get mad at me for being mad at you.

    DD has continued to be difficult and fussy all evening. I hope this is her 6 week growth spurt and not her being cranky because she's coming down with a cold too, just in time for me to be by myself with both kids for a week again.

    Ok. End rant.

  • We had McAlisters for dinner [just opened in my hometown] - bacon spud. Nom. We're watching college basketball and hanging out, being lazy. I'm loving today, even though I had stuff to do.

  • Evening mommas!

    Dh has been home sick since Wednesday. So sick, he is banned to our bedroom upstairs. LO and I slept in the office/guest room downstairs and I have been doing everything on my own! Plus taking care of the dog and cooking/microwaving my dinner (dh does all the cooking, I can barely boil water!!). I'm super tired and can't wait for him to feel better and even just hold the baby for an hour to nap alone. Dh did clean the second floor today. He washed all the sheets (washed the away germs), dusted, cleaning the bedroom. I had mil come over a few hours so I could shower and run a few quick errands. Tonight dh and I ordered Chinese food. LO slept while we ate together and dh went back into hiding. Hoping this is the last night I have to sleep alone.

  • DH and I are hanging out just the two of us for the evening, enjoying one of our last nights as "just us" before LO comes. I will go in Monday evening to begin induction, unless DS decides on a last-minute natural labor. We are watching the Olympics (go Davis and White!) and had pasta for supper. Getting some laundry done and tidying up before everything gets crazy! Best part of the day was eating the Girl Scout cookies we ordered :)

  • We tried to have our first family outing to an aquarium only to find out they closed early for a private function. Both dd1 & I were extremely upset. So we had to lug the girls in the cold, back to the car, (after paying for parking) and decided to go to Petco. Dd1 was pretty happy since she still got to see lots of fish :) afterwards we went out to dinner and mommy enjoyed a nice margarita! So even though it didn't go as planned and was a lot of work, it was still nice to get out of the house as a family.

  • DH took X to the monster truck rally so I'm watching 'Now You See Me' while Abel naps. Dinner was Carl's Jr and I'm debating asking DH to get me a milkshake on his way home... Guess my diet will start tomorrow!

    @ashleywiz, he was awesome again this morning. I think he was hallucinating. I had to pump so I told him to listen for the baby. When I got back, I asked him if the baby cried, and he started mumbling about the "fa-jah" -- like from Austin Powers Goldmember. The fa-jah is fine. The fa-jah didn't cry. I asked him if he was dreaming about Austin Powers. He just gave me a closed-eyed grin and rolled over.
