Mommy brain moment of the day: went to the grocery store with baby. I check out and am out in the parking lot almost to my car. The guy that bagged my groceries walks up behind me and asks if I need help. As I turn around to tell him "no" I see that he is pushing my cart of groceries. I look and see that I have just pushed an empty cart out of the store. I guess the giant diaper bag in the child seat, the baby in the sling, and my sleep deprivation prevented me from noticing. Sigh.
Mom to 5 wonderful kids: 18ds, 15ds, 13ds, 11dd and baby boy! Why get old when you can get pregnant?
Brooklyn FINALLY took to the Mei Tai and had been snoozing in it for an hour. I got all the laundry put away and a load of dishes done. Baby wearing FTW!
So i'm thinking I need to set my account to be a little more private with a new name and avitar...sorry so annoying I know. My siggy will be the same, so unless you are mostly mobile hopefully ya'll will still recognize me.
@AriaAmante143 How do you like the mei tai? We just got one because DH didn't like my complicated wrap lol. But I love it! I've been wearing it around the house a lot. Although its not one I can just stick in my purse.
I loooove it. So less complicated than the Moby. I haven't been brave enough to wear it out of the house yet. I can't wait until I can wear her on my hip!
@FarmBoysWife I totally get the non rush to share a bed with DH again. Between him and LO making noise while they sleep it's a wonder I get any sleep when he's in bed with me. At the same time it's nice for us all to share a room.
Ugh fur baby went to the vet today. She was scheduled for her standard shots, but we also had to have her hips looked at, oh and her eye because she chased a rabbit through a bush last night and turns out she scratched her cornea! (She is a maniac for rabbits!) x rays of hips show hip dysplasia. Vet wants to do a hip replacement at "around $5000" Ugh poor fur baby
Have a mentioned she isn't even a year and a half old?
I think we may hold off on the hip surgery for a little bit and do some preventative things for now.... I just feel terrible
@LakeCountryGal They didn't give us any Rx for her hips just fish oil and glucosamine!! We have to keep her at her weight now and make sure she gets exercise but nothing too rough...
Someone replaced my unicorn baby with a tiny terror. She hasn't slept all day, according to DH, and has been crying since I got home from work. Nothing makes her happy and I'm getting flustered. I just put her in the crib, walked away, and set a timer for 5 minutes. I think she's just overtired, but I feel like a total failure for not knowing what she wants.
DH's birthday is Thursday, and he plays hockey that night, so we went for dinner and a movie tonight. My parents watched all three kids, and we all survived! Plus I had the twins weighed today and they're both 9lbs 7oz - getting so big!!
@LakeCountryGal she's in a bit if pain after she plays hard or tubs hard. She gets a ton of exercise so the vet was happy with that. Good luck to you all too
We've been having router issues. My phone is ded. I feel like I'm reliving 1999 withe dial up internet connection. No fear the new router comes tomorrow, and I'm ordering a new phone this weekend.
My H is off. What is he doing playing video games...
I am so not in the mood to deal with his crap tonight
Sounds like my H. I can't complain because he is very helpful. But he took a day off a couple of weeks ago, and he beat a video game that day. What a waste of a vacation day.
I just woke up and it is freezing in the house. Like, my nose is super cold, hurts to breathe. DS is really cold obviously!! DH checked the thermostat and MIL had pushed the thing all the way down and flipped on the air conditioning thinking she was turning off the heat. It already ticks me off that she messes with it in the first place seeing as I pay the utility bill, and she is always ruining the steady temp in the nursery. Ugh. Now nursing and cuddling baby in lots of layers to get him warm again, poor baby.
It's a sign you should buy the house I posted yesterday! Ha
H decided that first thing this morning, he was going to tell me that his family thinks I don't trust any of them, and that his cousin thinks that the way I talk to people is rude, flippant, and entirely too sarcastic, and she just doesn't want to bother talking to me unless she has to.
My heart hurts; his family thinks I hate them. I don't hate them, I'm just very protective and attached to my one month old child. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to her while someone else was holding her. I hate handing her off to anyone other than H, and my mother (but only because my mom comes over every day and is building her trust with me, and knows that if anything happens, her baby privileges would be severely reduced.) I practically had a heart attack when I had to hand her to the doctor for a checkup!
I don't understand why no one understands my side of it. The whole things just makes me want to scream, and cry for days. I thought my relationship with his family was great. Nice to know that they can't even bring themselves to talk to me long enough to say that I'm being a bitch, and ask me to change the way I talk to them.
I've decided to turn mute, and to buy a stress ball to take to family functions with me from now on. Maybe if I just bite through my tongue I can keep myself from saying anything at all, and no one will be hurt but me. That works, right?
The best part is, I know that if I try to go and apologize and explain to MIL why I am the way I am, she'll do what she always does and we'll get nowhere. She'll ignore what I say, interrupt me when I'm talking, act like she's uber superior because she's got three decades on me, and then she'll call his cousin after I leave, to complain and cry about how mean I am. GRRRRR.
Brooklyn has been napping for almost 2 hours on my chest while we snuggle on the couch. As frustrating as it is that I can never get anything done during the day, I just keep trying to remember that this too shall pass and she will only be this little once.
