Weekends?



What weekends? The last couple have made me feel like I am burning the candle at both ends. Between hubby working 10-12 hour days and all weekend the last two weeks and then this weekend, our first "free" one being spent driving north for a family bridal shower and friend visit... I am beat.  I am exhausted. I am a mombie. I haven't even taken the little mans 7 month picture!!! So that post is delayed a bit. Which will mean it will probably go up the same time as this one in a few days(care to bet? It's the 25th as I write this. 9pm and already in bed). So... Our weekend, the other stuff next.

I don't remember where I left off... So here goes. Poop. My world is revolving around it. When, how, what, and why. Thankfully the 'who' is easy. When: I put his poop in my phone calendar when it comes out so I will always be able to tell when his last poop was. Most handy idea ever. Has it been three days? Lemme check. Now that he is on solids it is a struggle and a half. We are working on getting him to at most every other day at the longest. How: By himself? Suppository? With my help or q-tip stimulation? What: mushy? tiny? hard? long? A lot? A scoffable amount? And Why: is the extra water helping? Is it the 45 pears he eats a day? The pear juice, the oatmeal? Ugh.

Baby food: he doesn't like green food. Or bananas. The banana this morning made him shudder. He loves butternut squash, sweet potato, and pear. The end.  I'm Not pushing it right now because ah ha... I know how hard he's working to push it out. And he LOVES puffs. Cheerios and sweet potato puffs.

The weekend: we drove up to hubs brother and SILs house Saturday morning so the ladies could attend a family bridal shower while the boys did man things. I had originally planned to take BabyA with me to the shower because he's attached at the boob, but I had an extra ration of milk that would cover a meal and I was salivating over the idea of being solo, so baby stayed with daddy,and his uncle and one year old cousin while we two ladies went alone. This was the first time I had gone away away from him and that daddy was solo parenting for longer than a hour and also in charge of meals. Grand total time away from baby..6 hours. I missed his so much when I came back. Which is how it should be.

We left their house to drive and see some of our college friends about an hour away and made it in time for dinner and baby fawning hour. He was the center of attention, his favorite thing, and got passed around and loved on by our good friends. After the baby went down we ate and then played the funniest rounds of card games ever. I have never laughed so hard, and had that fun a night in a long time. Even with hubs winning every game it was still fun. It was strange to see my college friends in grown up surroundings, both engaged and both recently be

come home owners. Knowing people my age own houses makes me feel poor. But then I remember I have a kid and three glorious years of marriage under my belt and know I wouldn't change a thing :). And that student loans are the devil. Sunday we got up and had a family style breakfast, then talked, played more card games, and finally headed home. I hope we stay close as our lives get more and more "adult." I don't have a ton of friends I care about after moving my whole life. So I'd like to think ill have some I can keep forever.

I am so so so glad to be home. Exhausted, in bed at 9, and ready for whatever tomorrow brings with my mom!

Next day, lets see if I missed anything... Baby is currently sleeping, much to his chagrin so I have time to go back over this post and add things.

BabyA is getting better at using his fingers as pinchers to pick up puffs when he eats breakfast, he still tries his "baby bird" mouth to get me to put the puff in for him, so we are cutting back on that and making him figure it out. Aaaand today he awoke with a runny nose. I wonder if he is allergic to shedding dogs like his daddy is.. Hmm.

Crap it's 730 again, baby is down and we didn't take his 7m picture today either. Whoops. Tomorrow...?

Aaaaand it's the next day. I swear I will get his 7m up soon
