Wow this is such a first for me. I can't believe I don't see a spam thread yet. I hope everyone had a great, fun and safe NYE. We were in bed by 10pm and had a couple wake ups with LO#2. And everyone was awake at 5:30am. Here's wishing all of you great moms the very best in 2015!
Re: Happy Spam Year!!!!
I hope you all had good nights and all the sick babies and mammas are feeling better.
I got up to pee for the thousandth time and now I can't fall back asleep. Part of me feels like I should get up and do something. But nahhhhh!
Hope everyone had a great night!

But, we did get 7 hours straight sleep so that's amazing. Wish DH and I could work together to night wean.
Also, he definitely said "You've never had Riley scream at you for hours. You haven't had your patience tested."
Hahahahahahaha, for reals?
It's freezing rain & storming. I'm hungry & sad that BIL has to drive in this mess. He's the IL I like!

To be fair, he is making us all eggs this morning. Maybe he realizes what he said was dumb!

I'm not sure if the IL left already-- but it's quiet. I don't know if they are staying for the afternoon. I really hope not...I'm hungry but I don't want hear how everything will make me fat from MIL. I might say fuck it & go eat my oatmeal anyway. Just think happy thoughts while the woman yammers.
The physical therapist I've been working on sent me to a chiropractor for my phantom/new RLP. I was scared at first but a couple good adjustments & I feel like a new woman!!! :-D
I fully plan on having champagne today/tonight. I wanted some last night but I didn't want to deal with the third degree about how one glass means I'm a drunkard who is unfit to be a mother blah blah blah
Next year I want to spend NYE with my friends. If the IL insist on crashing then I might go out solo? Like, ringing in the new year with hope & shit..

We are taking down Christmas decorations and going to the National Aquarium this afternoon...I know it's going to be insane and I might be crazy for attempting it but I've been wanting to go for a while now and I'm hoping that my giant belly earns me some sympathy space.

DH made egg frittata for breakfast and ended up setting iff the smoke detectors. Oh well, at least we know they work :-bd
I'm still laying in bed by ty. He's still asleep. Crazy boy made it till midnight! I was pretty wastey pants last night. We drank and played games for hours while my mom and aunt played with the kids. Not sure what's on the agenda for today.
Happy New Years!
Sorry @stina2012 about The DH comment. I am too tired to deal with weaning but said this morning when A asked to nurse AGAIN "when will it stop?!?!"
Sorry about your friend @mas.
@casey78 you know I love you but next time you make a drunken pact, I hope it's to do something more fun than dental surgery. Eegads!
May your belly earn you respect and space @wanderinga !
Happy new year!
The cousins have arrived including the new one we hadn't met yet who was born in July. He is super smily. It's ridiculous but -we weren't with this side of the family last year and so I am kind of sad that Alden had to share the new baby spotlight at this Christmas. But he will enjoy a playmate his age in the future.
Lo seems to have turned a corner with her bronchitis and slept all night which was great. She got up at 730, but then snuggled and went back to sleep until almost 9!
Taking down the tree and all decorations today so I can get ready to go back to work next week. We go to my parents on New Year's Day for Chinese food and a visit with good friends from out of town....
You ladies are making me think I need to look into this face brush.....I'm one of those who does nothing for my skin, never have, never have needed to, however now as I'm getting older I feel like I should be doing something with it!!

@lizbethann82 happy birthday to your MIL. She sounds like she was an absolutely lovely human being, mom, grandmother and MIL. And I like that Jack had a great Jackism today for her birthday.

Just put LO down. Need to clean up but I'm feeling like death. It was a dry NYE at the chiboo9 household last night. We had a friend over that's about 60+ days sober and wanted to help him stay on track on a night like last night. He was much appreciative of our invite and very relieved to have the excuse to not attend other parties. And it was a really great night playing board games and watching the count down!
Anyway, feeling like death because my cold turned into asthma. My inhaler has been velcro'd to me these last couple of days. Nothing worse than feeling like hundreds of books are piled on your chest.
