My wrist hurts a little less so hopefully I can get through this before any children need to be fed. Based on a very scientific method called “I told my friends my wrist hurt and they suggested it might be the same thing they once had” I have diagnosed myself with De Quervain’s tenosynovitis. Basically, yes, your wrist hurts, you’re a woman, you’ve recently been pregnant and you do a lot of baby care. That seems like a pretty definite diagnosis, even though the treatment is “take some ibuprofen and stop lifting so many babies”.
Sunday:
The plan is to turn this into a playroom that is sometimes a guest room
Lashes
My children are as good at ignoring me as I am at ignoring them
Monday:
Today’s task: clean the toys that were on the front porch
Shopping helper
The other baby needs cuddly naps too
Tuesday:
Everyone wants to help
Salt is important
More lashes
Wednesday:
This is not Linc’s bed, but don’t tell him that
The waiting room at my OB’s office has an actual working fireplace
No more pile of shoes by the back door!!!!
Thursday:
Help, I can’t find my body!
Remember: not being on Jeopardy makes you a failure
Belleh
Friday:
Good humans stand on tables, I guess
I give this a B+, will drink again
Saturday:
Caroline’s first protest
Good job, Hartford
Finn is still skeptical that anyone would be against equal rights
If my baby would agree to take a nap I could officially get caught up on blogging for the rest of the week, but as of right now he thinks biting me and laughing is more fun that sleep. It’s not my favorite. I’d much prefer crossing stuff off my to-do list, because I am on a roll and the chances that I might actually get ALL THE LAUNDRY IN THE HOUSE put away are pretty good. Miracles do happen.

My wrist really hurts. I realize that’s not a super good reason to be almost 3 weeks behind in posting, but when you add “typing is painful” to “I could be napping right now” and “WHY ARE MY CHILDREN SO LOUD” it means blogging is really low on my to-do list.
Sunday:
I bought an actual nursing shirt that I don’t hate
PASSED OUT
Dinner helpers
Monday:
Skeptical baby is still very skeptical
Linc stole my phone to take pictures of his favorite thing
Tiny Batman
Tuesday:
Shopping
These were not good
Nope. Did not watch.
Wednesday:
Good morning ducks
In progress
When it’s almost 60 degrees we go for a walk
Thursday:
Evan brushing his sister’s hair before school
Sad baby is calmed by looking at himself on my phone
OH NO WHERE IS LINCOLN I CANT FIND HIM
Friday:
Being kind to kitty
Being kind to brother
Being kind to mama
Saturday:
Fish-tac-toe with the scuba divers
Bye! Have a good trip!
Super Linc is Super Sleepy
My baby just woke from a deep sleep screaming as if someone stabbed him with a needle, so I guess I won’t be a) catching up on the next post or b) taking that nap I wanted. Fingers crossed he doesn’t cry for the rest of the day.

Welp, it’s officially the part of winter that tries to kill me every year. It is dark. It is cold. I have two small children who can’t be outside long enough for me to get more than 10 minutes of sunlight, and 10 minutes is not enough sunlight. I don’t like babywearing when it’s slippery. I don’t like driving in the snow or rain. Basically, I just stay home and wallow and eat too many cookies and pray for April.
Sunday:
Monday:

I’m a week late, but in my defense I have four kids. That’s basically the reason for everything these days. Why does your hair look like that? Why is there a hole in your pants? Why are you eating corn chips for breakfast? Why can’t you remember to mail Christmas gifts? How come your Christmas tree looks like it’s losing a fight?
Four. Kids.
Sunday:
Christmas!!
I did not do this OR take this picture
Brothers
Monday:
Linc is obsessed with Octonauts
He also really likes my nativity
Tuesday:
Watching Octonauts
TBH we BOTH fell asleep face down on the couch
Gross weather
Wednesday:
Sleep smirking
We brush their hair and it STILL looks like that
Raise your hand if you are 3 months old
Thursday:
Pre-coffee tantrums are intolerable
Linc says these are Peso pajamas
I don’t even love them but this is REALLY good
Friday:
Skeptical of his hedgehog shirt
Perhaps rightly so
Piano lesson car selfie (why is it SO DARK at 5 pm??)
Saturday:
Horse drawn carriage ride in Mystic
Prettiest advent calendar I’ve ever had
Demanding more Octonauts
It feels like we – especially Linc – watch a lot of TV these days. But that’s because four kids. If there’s a chance Finn will sleep for an hour or two we are definitely staying home and I need them to not act like wild animals. TV is really the only way that happens. 6 months from now we’ll be at the lake every day again and they’ll forget what TV even looks like.
