Kc to be honest, it's having dd in school! We spend about an hour at the busstop everyday cause I never want to be late!!! Then when school is over we have so much to do! Our afternoons used to be relaxing but now they are pretty crazy... Dd is off the bus at 4, max and Connor go down for a nap (Connor gets a bottle first), dd does hw and we talk about her day, has a snack that takes time to prepare, she reads to me for 20 mins (part of hw), clean up, Connor and max wake up about 6, we play for an hour all together, get dinner ready, Lars comes home, we eat, then we bathe Connor while he gets maddie and max ready for bed, read kid books, say prayers, read scriptures, put maddie and max to bed, feed Connor, and then put him to bed. Ahhhh. Non stop from 4pm on!

When dd is at school, from 12:30 to 4, I clean up the house, play with the boys, take care of feeding Connor and making max lunch... I usually stay up until at least midnight, and sleep until 9am, so the whole morning from 9 to 12:30 is all showers and baths for maddie and max, breakfast, lunch for maddie before she leaves...
Then add the days I need to go grocery shopping or we have dance class or right now we have been looking at houses everyday... Haha. It's been crazy. Today I didn't eat dinner until 11:30! I forgot. Fed the kids and took Lars lunch at the university, but I forgot to eat!

 

[Onelildream]

I don't think I ever realize when I'm hungry. I would make a good anorexic! I do get headaches tho...

 

[SBB]

And you want another one chell!!

Sammuel is a tired little grump today! Poor baby... He hates having hisnose wiped but he is all snotty!! of course wiping it all over me is the best thing to do!!!

Ben's the same Suz! He was good at swimming surprisingly to say he's been up since 5:30. He's very whingy now though- he's tried to go to sleep twice but has woke himself up being sick both times

 

[SBB]

Aw poor Ben I tried to put S down for another nap but he wouldn't go to sleep so have made him lunch instead! Hopefully he'll have a decent nap this avo...

Is Ben sick a lot? Sammuel used to puke after every feed, but now he's on food it's definitely much much less... It's more gross though

X x x

 

[babyloulou]

No he's hardly ever sick. He sometimes spits up a tiny bit of milk after a feed but not very often!

I gave up trying to get him in the cot to sleep and have snuggled up on the settee under a blanket with him instead- he's just fell asleep feeding and is finally napping next to me now!! I can barely breathe from the Karvol and chest rub stink though!!

 

[babyloulou]

Suz - did you know you can use the emoticon thingys on your contacts too? Ste's just changed his number and I've got his new one saved as "head"

(for anyone without an IPhone that was a picture of a pile of shit before the "head")

 

[SBB]

lou I'm going to use it on some of mine!!!

Ah at least he's asleep... I'm liking the karvol by my head at night! But it is really strong!!

Hi ladies! Sorry about the sick babies! Jimmy hates his face or nose wiped too suz!

Chell your day sounds soooooo busy! You must be exhausted by the end of the day! You should eat! Don't you snack on what you make for the kids? Well your vacation is coming up soon and it is well deserved. I am glad you can sleep in at least to 9am. Your day sounds so packed I am not sure how another child would fit in! How would that work since you do everything?

 

[laura6914]

hey all.

wow casey, DH sounds like he has it weel easy. As soon as phil gets in from work he taks over. He does the bath and bed routine every night. Well he has too as im too big to bend over the bath to bath shae. And phil works 12 hours a day to, and one weekend day.

hey suz, hey lou :wave: how are we both?

I took shae to mums and tots this morning. Only stayed an hour cause he got so tired. I think the afternoon sessions will suit him better.
There was this spoilt little bitch of a 4 year old who followed him around and took every toy off him that he wanted to play with. I swear i nearly said something to her mother who wasnt watchin AT ALL! The little madam found another target and left him alone after a while though.

Im so uncomfortable again today. I woke up this morning thinking i was having contractions but they stopped thankfully. I think all this birthing ball bouncing isnt really working as i hoped.

[laura6914]

wow my spelling is appauling today. Sorry ladies.

 

[kcw81]

Sorry you are so uncomfy Laura! I hope hope hope she turns!!! Your dh sounds awesome! That little girl is a brat!!!

 

[laura6914]

he is the best casey. Couldnt ask for anyone better.
There is nothing more i hate than spolit little children.
xx

 

[babyloulou]

Ste does the same- the bath and all the evening wake ups! So they should too- looking after a baby all day is loads harder than being at work- and I say that having worked with kids all day every day!!!

 

[laura6914]

I agree Lou. Sometimes I'd love to swap roles with Phil.
I can't remember feeling this exhausted when I was pregnant with shae. All I want to do is sleep.

[Onelildream]

Sorry laura. Makes me leery for being pregnant again! If anything went wrong I would be in trouble!

Suz and Lou- is it getting colder there? Is the weather making the boys sick-like? Maybe the cause of the runny noses? My dr recommends a humidifier. Do u have one?

Casey- if we did have another soon, I would just great Connor and the next baby as twins... Same schedules. And luckily, max and maddie would almost be a year older. Yes, I am tired at the end of the day, but pretty excited to do something with hubs and even more thrilled to stay up after he goes to sleep so I can do anything by myself; read a book, play a game, anything.

Well home hunting sucks. Phewy.

 

[kcw81]

Oh that one offer didn't go through chell? Sorry. You should be able to find something, it really is a great buyers market right? How much sleep do you get Chell? How much do you need to feel normal?

Lou I Think if Jimmy didn't sleep during the day for naps and through the night so that I could have my sleep time and my own time to workout and shower and clean the house, I definitely would be asking DH to step up to take over. I would insist on it or we would have a huge problem and always be fighting!

If I had Ben with the no sleep, I would feel so exhausted by the end of the day and having been up all night too! I would despise DH for not helping and want a divorce! As it is though, with Jimmy so well managed with the naps, he and I know that I get SOMEe personal time and sleep so I can't complain as much.

I Think as far as bonding goes he definitely needs that time with jimmy though. To be fair, he takes over for jimmy for like 15- 20 minute increments at night while I eat my dinner or get ready for bed or catch up on my emails on the desktop. He just doesn't ever do large chunks of time and never bathes him and never puts him to bed. I am thinking that when Jimmy gets older, like 1 year old talking and stuff, maybe they will have bonded even more and DH will feel ready to step in for that stuff cuz it will be easier?

 

[laura6914]

casey, your a very rational person i tell you that for nothing. Shae sleeps from 7-7:30/8 and Phil STILL has to take time out to be with Shae. He wants to, i dont force him.

Doesnt your hubby want to spend quality time with jimmy? Just the two of them?

[kcw81]

Well... he likes hanging out with Jimmy for like 20 mins at a time until Jimmy gets fussy! Then he wants to hand him back over! But when Jimmy is being a cutie I think he likes hanging with him for little chunks for sure. I am banking on the idea that once Jimmy is even more relatable and crawling and talking that he will participate more and do stuff with him.
