Baby's First Tornado (And by baby I mean me)
It was 5:30 am this morning when I started to lose it. I fed William at 4 o’clock and he still had not settled into sleep in his bassinet. I let out an “ugh!!” as he started to full out cry and open his eyes.
As I picked him up, resigned to let him co-sleep until his sister woke up in a couple hours, I heard a beeping noise.
“Hon,” I patted Kyle firmly on...

Update
I took the kids and dog for a walk, did some exercising, cleaned the kitchen and ran to the bank and Target with both kids in tow. I texted my husband about it and he said, “Who is this?”
The laundry mountain is still towering above us all but whatever. Today is a win. Thanks to everyone for the comments and messages of support!! I would still be whining and in my pjs without you...

Toddler and Newborn
3 hours and a few 20 minute lapses of shut eye is not enough sleep! I’m not sure how I am supposed to get anything done today without getting a migraine from exhaustion. Breastfeeding can be just awful sometimes, it takes all my energy and all of my sleep away. And unfortunately Cece has decided to become an earlier riser this week.
Send help.
By the way I can’t have coffee because...
oursarah asked: I guess you're supposed to speak the Queen's English whenever you mention the boy wonder ;)
According to Cece
We are “the best” Mommy and Daddy “ever in the whole wide world!”
She told us this each separately yesterday.
It was amazing. It sounded like, “I wuv you Mom. You are the best Momma evur in the whole why weeled!”
Currently
Homemade stew is simmering, our bed is made (making it official that for the first time since we moved in our bedroom is fully clean), Cece is napping, William is napping in the Moby on my chest, I have a bowl of Cheez-it’s and a glass of juice and it’s time to watch the Nate Berkus show!
Relaxing until the next time all hell breaks loose ;)

Happy Happy Birthday to →
!!! Love you! Giant pancake, growing bubs, using half the Lipton tea mix to make one pitcher, sneaking candy, learning kissing can have tongues, Little Rascal marathons, beach house shenanigans, boozy holidays, bridesmaid-ing, trusting each other with our writings… the list goes on and now we are both closer to 30 than 20 and you are my son’s godmother. I love you and you deserve a...
Me: I love you, Kid!
Cece: Love you, Parent!
Some Wednesday afternoon math
Microwaving popcorn + crying baby = burnt popcorn
Burnt popcorn + hungry breastfeeding momma = eating burnt popcorn
Burnt popcorn smell + marijuana smell = college dorm smell = my house kind of smells like college - marijuana smell

Cece: 2 years and 10 months old run down:
She knows what a text message is.
She told Kyle that .com is on the computer.
And she knows that email is on the computer.
She also knows our town and state. She is obsessed with trying to learn about time and keeps talking to me about Wednesday. She also can’t stop asking to go to school! When I asked her about wearing a certain skirt yesterday she said, “no that is for ballet...

GO GIANTS!!!!!!!!
You guys have no idea how much it is ingrained in who I am to bleed for this football team. I will be screaming, clenching fists, jumping up and down, etc. I have been known to fall to the ground in defeat and squeal in delight. Oh and bonus: I hate the Patriots.
Let’s do this thing.

I was going to eat lunch
and then the dog puked. That’s two species of throw up in one day. Throw up, spit up, pee, breastmilk poop, this is my day. Thanks a lot Wednesday.

Today in my initiation to parenting 2 children
Cece is throwing up. “Mommy I need to spit in the toilet”
In the words of UmiZoomi “yoinks a doinks!”… Wish me luck y’all.
