Weekend randoms

I have found what I think is the only drawback to baby sleeping longer stretches at night: before when she was waking every 2-3 hours I was so exhausted I would immediately fall back asleep. Now she's sleeping 4-5 hours at a time and I feel SO rested (wtf, I know) when she wakes up to eat that I can't fall back asleep. The weird thing is it's always around 3am, which is when I would wake up when I was pregnant!!

Share your rants/observations/or total randoms here!

I am embarrassed to admit that I kind of like Justin biber new song. I may or may not even sing when it comes on the radio

I think I have the hangriest baby known to mankind. He got so hangry this morning he forgot how to latch so we had to go back to the nipple shield. Never mind I fed him an hour ago.

Also I have an extreme craving for no bake cookies. No wonder DH calls them crack cookies

So yeah there's a blizzard outside. Got about 8 inches of snow so far and they're predicting 24 inches. Yay!!

I'm loving all the snow! It's so cozy and I don't mind being trapped inside together

You must not have to shovel

We have a party to go to tonight that's over an hour away from where we live. We were going to bring ds1 & ds2 to SIL who lives close to the party and then stay overnight there after but DH was called in to work OT on sunday so now we won't stay as long and we'll have to drive home after. I was really looking forward to getting dressed up, having a few drinks, and being kid free for a few hours but now it all seems like a hassle.

I bought a regular coffee pot because my keurig doesn't make enough fast enough... this baby has made me a caffeine addict

Baby has pretty much been sleeping since 3:30pm yesterday. Waking up only to eat and get a diaper change. No fever but I'm slightly worried.

He's 11 weeks. I'm sure it's just a growth spurt bur very abnormal for him to sleep so much. It's now almost 11am and he has woken up for about an hour and is now back asleep. Lol.

I spent $30 on a sleeper and socks at Janie and jack, and then spent $25 on 2 onsie/shirt outfits at gap... no one told me kids were so expensive (jk)

@HeatherFaye718 my LO sleeps ALLLLLL the time. She always just wakes to eat and be changed. She slept 8 hours straight last night and my boobs felt like they were about to burst when we got up!! She ate, went back to sleep. I really hate waking up to pump when she's still asleep ! During the evening I try to keep her up for 2 hour stretches. She eats every 3 hours so I'll keep her up 2, let her sleep 1, and repeat. She's sleep all day if I didn't. She's 8 weeks. She has always slept though. Like PP said, could be a growth spurt.

Is baby too young for noise cancelling headphones?
Are my toenails getting long? They can wait..
Do people give their babies baths in the winter?
I need to do homework. It's due today. Might have been yesterday.
In so excited to buy a new cutting board.
I've been so good about saving money.
Holy hell, I've been so NOSTALGIC lately! I keep daydreaming about life before baby, it seems so long ago. I yearn so hard for some of the placed I travelled to. I can't wait to travel with my son when he's older.
I need to clean the bathroom.
My room smells like dog.
My dog has been mad at me.

The fallout from the shots suck. My SO had to work today so for the 6th day in a row it's just me and the kid.

I have no booze in the house.

HALP.

Damn! So far I have yet to buy anything new. Thankfully I got gifted sleepsacks in two different sizes. Otherwise my lil guy is rocking hand me downs and second hand clothing. Shib is way too expensive and they grow way too fast!

Missing the days when people threw us parties and brought baby clothes and diapers with them that I didnt have to pay for. Ah well..

rachswi · January 2016

Couldn't find a pair of pants that actually fit so I bought jeggings. Today was the first time I've gone clothes shopping since Zeke was born and it was suuuuper depressing. It was the longest I've spent in front of a mirror and I did not really like what I saw. Good thing DH still finds me attractive. Also - holy boobs, batman. I didn't realize how big they've gotten (and they were huge before baby and breast feeding!)

DH and I got to have a date afternoon while my brother and his wife watched Zeke. I didn't really miss him since I loved getting to be just DH and I (having an afternoon off from being "mommy" was great). Is that bad?

Oh my god, my siblings visited and BIL took a bunch of photos and holy crap my boobs are ginormous! I feel like I'm going to put someone's eye out with these puppies!

I sent my LO to the baby sitter today while I stayed home and did NOTHING. that's much worst. Lol. I enjoyed but ended up picking her up early because I couldn't take it anymore. It was her first time away from me at all and 3 hours was long enough!

GoogleMD · January 2016

LO has a low grade and obviously just looks like he feels like crap. I feel so bad for him, but I am secretly excited this means I don't have to have dinner with the IL tomorrow

Im drinking a margarita and nursing while I sit on my ass reading the bump. It's pretty nice.....

eamarat · January 2016

Just found out my grandmother never got the TDaP (after we asked her to and she said she would, weeks before he was born) because there was "always a line at Walgreens" and we let her hold LO at Thanksgiving (a week old) because she said she was going to get it (I could swear she told me she'd gotten it) without a mask while everyone else was made to wear one. And when DH confronted her and told her she'd put our LO in danger she said "no I didn't" because she suddenly remembered she got it ("four or five years ago" to me and "a couple of years ago" to DH) when she didn't even remember what TDaP was not even ten minutes before. I am so done with this freaking woman.

I have considered sending DS to daycare when I'm off work, just so I can clean my house.

ShianeNicole · January 2016

I am a stay at home mom and my mom watches LO one day a week for a few hours. I call it my "day off" but really it's not since it's only a few hours. Plus I always say I'll nap, but there is always something to do. Usually I catch up on laundry and clean.

angelinthepit23 · January 2016

Had a very depressing weekend. DH and I never have any free time together anymore and it's finally taking its toll on my emotional state. Add onto that I think LO has decided his goal is to make me crack by testing me all weekend. Ugh.
