Happy first official week of summer, everyone!
Re: Weekly Randoms 6/24
I spent the weekend rearranging furniture in the nursery. We settled on where all the big things are going to go, which has me super giddy! Now that I can better visualize the nursery basics, I'm moving full steam ahead on getting decor too. I ordered some shelving and this adorable baby animals of the world map from Etsy.
@Cass005 I feel ya on being exhausted because...
We had a wedding on Saturday night and it was so fun! Didn’t get home until 12:30am. MIL was not happy, but of course at the last min she changed the babysitting arrangements from having the boys sleep over at her house to wanting to watch them at our house. Fine. Sorry not sorry. Her choice. In WINNING news... H came to the wedding brunch with me! SIL’s son got lice (eeeek!) and I put my foot Down abt no one from our family going to her house. He agreed and so he skipped the baptism. Yippeee. Not only do I not want my kids getting lice, I Do not want to have to treat my own scalp with chemical shampoo right. Anyway it was a big weekend all around and of course in the middle of last night DS2 vomited in his crib and woke up the whole house. Poor guy. His bday is tomorrow!!
@junebabyh, the lice situation sucks, but I'm so glad your H went to the wedding brunch with you!! And happy early birthday to DS2! How old will he be?
Insomnia is making my life miserable though. Between insomnia at bedtime, an unusual MOTN wake up from DD, more insomnia until I could fall back to sleep, and then DD waking up at 5 am, I’m running on about 4 hours of broken up sleep. I’ll be pushing the caffeine limits today. 😴
@Cass005 I hope you can get that nap today!!
@junebabyh my goodness! You had a rollercoaster of a weekend!! I hope your sone has a happy, non-puking, Birthday!!
@greenbean-2 sorry you’re not getting much sleep. Hope the caffeine helps.
My weekend went went pretty good! On Saturday I spent all my money at hobby lobby on the cutest nursery decorations. Then I went and got a pedicure followed by me ordering and eating an entire “Monster” burrito from Freebirds 🙈.
DH got home on Sunday and we were lazy which was really nice.
@greenbean-2 I feel you on insomnia. I can’t get comfortable! I’m normally a back sleeper so I just flip flop and plop from side to side like a beached whale all night long. And this is just 22 and some weeks? Yiiiikes.
I allowed us to finally go into a baby store this weekend and we settled on what car seat and strollers we want!! Feels good to have made a couple decisions at least. Waiting till viability to start making any purchases or doing the nursery.

@emily1052 I don’t know what Freebird’s is but now I realllly want a burrito haha
@galentine I was just thinking yesterday about how my toenails need cut and repainted but I struggle to bend over that far. Guess it’s pedicures from here on out. Oh darn 😉
Saturday we went to our friends’ daughter’s birthday party then DH had a softball game. The field was 2 blocks from the best bakery in our area so DS and I went for a little walk and got some treats. Yesterday we went to a car cruise with my parents and aunt and uncle. DS loves the Cars movies so he was excited. It was hot and sunny though so I was pretty much pooped for the rest of the day. Luckily my aunt and mom played with DS so I was able to lay down and recharge.

@galentine My husband doesn't mind cutting my toenails, and I don't usually get pedicures, but I'm kind of tempted to get one soon. I had him practice tying my shoes for me on Saturday because I was tired of bending over. 😂
My weekend was relatively uneventful, but I went to the movies twice (Toy Story 4 and Late Show). I also checked out the infusible ink from Cricut and have decided against it for the time being; I just don't need that kind of stress right now. Ha ha ha!
We also finally made our baby registry public at the request of MIL. I don't mind, but it was tough for me to do. Now that it's done, I feel better about it. I've tweaked it a lot up until now, so having it public will also help me quit nitpicking at it!
Oh! And we think we finally found a dresser that we want. The one that matches our crib has crummy reviews, and we both liked one we saw at Target. DH wants the paint to match the crib, but that isn't going to happen (different brands), so I told him we'd be better off just not trying to match at all, which will look more intentional.
@emily1052, I don't know what a monster burrito is, but I definitely want one.
We had an awesome weekend! It was our housewarming party on Saturday and it went so well! We did a Tacos + Tequila theme and had pork carnitas, chopped chicken, chorizo and carne asada along with lime cilantro rice and lots of cheese and veggie toppings! It made some amazing burritos that I also had for dinner last night 😋 I was able to get the house cleaned up and it somehow didn't get completely destroyed even though we had almost 10 kids here lol
DD2 had her tube operation on Friday. I had all the feels because of anaesthesia and possible side effects google was more than happy to spit out.
The OR team was great, aside from not managing to find a vein on her hand, so they had to go through the foot (I didn't mind that, just the part of really poking around in her hand until finally giving up). They found copious amounts of fluid behind her eardrums and the adenoids were massive for a 2 year old, so we made the right decision.
However.
One of the side effects seems to be NO SLEEP. The girl fell asleep at 11pm last night. And tonight is shaping up to be 10pm, easy. This is the first operation on any of my kids so I don't know what to expect but daaaamn
@nnaelilak that all sounds so good!!
@grapeskittles4lyfe I’m so glad the surgery went well, I hope the sleep goes back to normal soon!!
We had had a good weekend—Saturday I picked up a used Graco Dreamglider that I’m super excited about and brought DD strawberry picking and she had a blast! We also made a berry “cheesecake” pie with the fresh strawberries that was SO GOOD. Then Sunday I had a baby shower for a friend, and it was really good to see her cause I hadn’t seen her bump in person yet! (She lives about an hour away).
Anyway, I also had a scare when H was away on an overnight hiking trip, and I hadn’t heard from him in over 24 hours Saturday afternoon. He is an avid hiker so I never worry when he goes, but pregnant and emotional me was 100% convinced he was dead and I was legit about to call the state park rangers to go find him and his friend once it got dark. OBVIOUSLY they’re fine, they just had no service in the mountains, but holy heart attack was I a wreck for a few hours!!!

@junebabyh oh no I hope it was just a fluke with DS2
@emily1052 I miss firebirds, didn’t last long here.
@grapeskittles4lyfe I’m so happy surgery went well. Hopefully the sleeping will correct itself soon.
