We have nowhere that we have to be this weekend. . Today we are catching up on house crap and tomorrow the brother I like and his fiance care coming to visit for lunch. They are bringing their dog which will make C sooooo happy. I can't wait
H took care of the midnight feeding last night and D slept again until 4:00... which means I got 5.5 straight hours of sleep. I feel like a new woman.
Today, I'm taking C on a date while H stays with the baby. We're going to lunch and to see Disney Planes Fire & Rescue. He's so excited and I can't wait to spend some one-on-one time with my big boy!
DD slept for 5 hours straight last night! And we are finally getting our newborn photos done tomorrow and one of my good friends is doing them while DH & SS are out of the house so I'll get some much needed girl time.
DH put LO down to sleep at 10:30 last night. She woke up at 4:00, nursed, and went right back to sleep. She was fussing at 6:45 so I got up and went to change ans nurse her. By the time I got to the room where I was going to nurse, she was asleep again. I snuggled with her in bed and she slept until 8:15. I got so much sleep last night!
Charlie just took a bottle for the first time!! From me, and it took forever, but freedom beckons. A break from even one feed once in a while would be awesome. Freedom beckons!
Also, he took four ounces from the bottle and is now going to town on me. Little piggy!
We went to the mall, then out to lunch, then to the hospital for a quick 5-minute visit with my new cousin. Neither LO nor the 3yo had a meltdown! It was amaziiiinnnggggg
Noah slept for 8 hours last night! What? And then DH got up with him at 6 and let me sleep in.
Also happy to finally have a weekend to just us. Love seeing people but the nonstop visitors staying over was getting old. Glad to be able to spend a weekend with just our little family. (We cleaned all day today but are gonna pool it up tomorrow!)
My mom is watching LO tomorrow so we can go on a mommy,daddy,son date to see the new Disney Planes movie and take DS #1 out to eat. He is so excited and so am I. I sure have missed having alone time with him.
I did the exact same thing today with DS1! It was wonderful. I can't believe how much I "missed" him. I'm with him every day, all day, but it's just not the same. Hope you guys have a great time!
We have been at my parents' place the last couple days and DD has not wanted to get close enough to the horses for them to even sniff her hand. So this afternoon my dad got the mini horse on a halter and brought him out to see if it would be less intimidating for her. Not only did she pet him, she asked to get on! I sat her on him and held her waist as my dad walked the horse around and my mom held DS. It was wonderful
So this starts out stabby but ends up sunshine....
DH tripped over the pump cord (which hasn't moved for 3 weeks) and knocked my freshly pumped milk bottles onto the ground. STAB! He picks them up fast but I probably lost an ounce and that is a huge deal because I am barely getting enough to sustain my child.
After picking up the bottles (as I start to cry) he grabs the lavender baby lotion and starts rubbing it all over my chest and arms. I look at him like he is an idiot that I might murder him and he says "just breathe in the soothing lavender scents and drift off to a wonderful place!" Sunshine. It made me laugh so hard. Gotta love this man!
