This is such a great price! I bought one at a boutique for $36 (I'm a sucker and was desperate because she was beating me up while nursing). DD is warming up to it, she wanted nothing to do with it af first but now she will hold the larger beads while nursing and chew on it when she's in the ergo.
Nice price! Is it bad that I automatically assume the quality must be crappy because it's so cheap? I just can't turn off my doubtful overpriced etsy shop owner brain
I'm pretty excited about this headband I made for a customer as a special request to match her rainbow tutu. Cute, right?! It's loud and bright, but it will be PERFECT with her bright rainbow tutu.
I am also reminded of why I don't make hair accessories... that thing took awhile to design and create!
Pfft, the only one who gets any kind of foot/neck/back rubbing in this house is DH. There is a serious rub disparity around here. Thank goodness Sullivan is taking a good afternoon nap! Quiet mommy time to do laundry and make myself a sandwich.. I'll take it. (I could still use some ice cream though)
Also, after seeing him get so interested in watching cars go by the house while sitting with him on the front porch, I've decided he will probably be able to appreciate the zoo/watch and track moving animals and fish etc. We are going this week, I can't wait!
@PoppySeedWindsor when we take dd on vacation she only wants me, and wants to nurse a ton. I was told it's because of the stress of being somewhere new and I'm what's familiar to her.
Got my monthly massage today. Last month I decided to join the wellness program at the spa so it would be cheaper. Best idea ever.
I decided to go through my stack of pre-pregnancy jeans and try them on. One pile for "yes, I can wear these", one for "maaaaybe someday" and one for "ain't never gonna happen, donate". Some of my favorites were in that last pile.

Adventure island was awesome! Now my 16 year old sister is driving us home while I pump and bump. I might die on this drive, how did she ever pass her test?

Maybe that explains why DS was a lunatic when DH tried to put him to bed last night?!
I went to the store to get things for dinner and decided to make cupcakes too. But I forgot oil!!!! Waaaaaa. Now I have to feed LO and try to get her down for a nap before I can go back to the store!!!!!!

Perfect afternoon at home. E spent a bunch of time rolling all around in the living room floor. DH and I did some cleaning and I bleached down the kitchen. Now I am making lasagna and green beans and I am about to start making some banana bread from scratch! I figured I would take a bump break while my noodles cook. I have a 3 day weekend and I am feeling optimistic about actually accomplishing some things. Check back with me Tuesday and see if I really did. Tonight I am going to accomplish drinking a bottle of wine and watching a movie!
Similar day here! My E just started rolling back to front a few days ago and spent time this afternoon rolling all over. We got a lot of cleaning/organizing done around the house, headed by DH! Now he is grilling and we are going to have grilled chicken, coleslaw and sweet potato fries. Mmm.
Tomorrow is my last day of maternity leave

Oh my goodness... I want to start watching Dr. Who just from that one gif. @-)
@edoliesmom Doooo it!! It's such an awesome show. Plus it's on Netflix
I'm slowly catching up on like 7 pages worth of stuff, 3 pages left to go. From what I remember so far: -I always pinch zits, mine and DH's when he lets me. -The first night in our new apartment I totally duct taped a blanket over DD's window. Trying for an earlier bedtime tonight, so DH rigged up a curtain with cardboard, blanket, and bobby pins for our front door's oval window. -I hear phantom cries all the time. -Hugs to ppl having bad days/shitty DHs. -I mobile gif by saving the gif to my phone then attaching the file.

@RedDawnsRevenge, I have to admit that I've only seen the 9th and on. I've loved them all for different reasons. I loved Christopher Eccleston and his leather jacket and kinda bad dude attitude David Tenent was the most sincere and sensitive so far. His last words just broke my heart. And Matt Smith was just hilarious! Each reincarnation I think, "Ugh, this Doctor sucks!" And then 2 episodes later I'm like, "I love you!!!" I'm so excited for the next season Is it true that Jenna Coleman is leaving though?

My grocery delivery was supposed to be here 3 hours ago but they're running behind. WAH, I'm hungry!!! Theres no food in my house. At least nothing that I want to eat.
My SIL told us last month or so that she and her DH were going to try for their third live child, and we just got the news that her due date is in April '15! I wasn't sure they were going to try again since she miscarried twins a couple of years ago. Alera won't get to be the baby of the bunch for long, but she'll have a playmate close to her age! \:D/

I'm already crying about DD going to daycare tomorrow. What is wrong with me? It's only part time and I'm a mess. I also really don't want to go back to work
Solidarity, sister. I'm going back on Tuesday. I have organized my pumping and daycare stuff but I'm still in denial that my baby is going to be hanging with someone else for 8 hours every day

So I've see 1970s and up to David tenant. I have only seen a few episodes with Matt smith. So I'm trying to catch up on the last 4 years of dr. Who. But The 9th doctor is my favorite

Good luck to you too!
I never thought I would be so upset about this. Maybe she will be up all night so I'll be excited for a break lol!
To be honest, DS's sleep regression has made napping so difficult that I'm a little bit ready to have daycare get him nap-trained for me! He goes down for naps just fine most of the time but he does not sleep for long. Hopefully daycare fixes that.

Liam is in his crib for the first time. He went down drowsy but awake but is now wide awake playing and watching his mobile (which he loves). He's not crying so I haven't gone in there. My question is how long do I let him play before I call it quits for the night? Or do I just let him do his thing unless he cries? I'm just worried about him getting over tired because he's a beast to get to sleep when that happens....,
Personally, if he is just chilling in his crib I would leave him there to see if he falls asleep on his own.

Starting school in a week and a half! I've got my books, my parking pass, a shiny new book bag(that will NOT have a changing pad in it!), new moleskine notebooks (my faves) and shiny pens and pencils. I'm such a school nerd. :-B
Plus, I used map my run and figured out the perimeter of my school is 1.5 miles. Thinking that since I'll be home after bedtime anyway, I can start squeezing in a run after class, at least until it gets too dark to safely do so. Now to see if a) I can find a sports bra big enough to hold my breastfeeding boobs (it was hard to find one pre-preg as it was) and b) if I can run with three hours-worth of stored milk. Any breastfeeding runners with huge ta-tas have any advice?

Also, why hasn't the bump partnered with an ice cream delivery service yet? They could make freaking baaaaank.
Double also, while Merri rocked yesterday, she's hating everything and everyone but me today. Oy. Does not feel like vacay. Poor bug.
