Whew, rough day for Wyatt, but hopefully things will be looking up soon!

After his epic barfing yesterday I was somewhat prepared for the cluster that today's feedings have been. He's been getting progressively more fussy/grunty over the last couple days especially at night when he's laying flat, and so I was thinking we didn't have much longer until we'd probably have to try switching to Similac Alimentum. At his 5:15am feeding I got barfed all over with not much warning, and then poor Alli got soaked doing the 8:45 feeding. 😢 Poor kid was really restless and grumpy most of the afternoon and the only real time he fell asleep was after I wrapped him. I DID manage an awesome baby manicure this morning, so there's that! Take the small wins, right?

I practiced wrapping with him when he couldn't really get comfortable to go to sleep, and behold….. the WRAP NAP!!!

I love this wrap, it's "Pavo Lobsters Real" and it's gorgeous! The Carry is called FWCC (I have no idea what that stands for) and I'm going to try it tomorrow with a different wrap. It was surprisingly easy to achieve, so I was excited about that!

Got a lot done today since Wyatt was up so much it precluded a nap, so I got Divine Consign entered, more inventory made and entered for Lonestar, the guest/craft/office closet reorganized, helped a friend with some computer stuff, and generally just felt super productive. Go me! *pat on the back*

Then, we ruined it all by taking the kids out to dinner. Lol! Wyatt slept right through it but Tatum was a total PITA. She wasn't *bad* per-se but just really obnoxious and difficult. Remind me next time #SuperMom knows better than to take two kids under 3 out to dinner on a Friday night.

We started Wyatt on the alimentum two feedings ago, we'll see how this goes. I think I may also let him sleep in the Rock n Play tonight since the incline seems to help his comfort level. Hope some of that works because we're kind of running out of low-key options to try!!

Night all, until tomorrow!!!

Finally got some of my stuff moved in to my booth at Lonestar Mercantile! Really liking the way the chicken wire frames display my necklaces! Just need to keep on chugging with the inventory to be ready to open August 14!!

PS- I'm using some kind of beta publisher on my phone for WordPress so have no idea how big these pics are publishing. Apologies in advance if they're huge!!

Also, Baby Wyatt's newborn pics came in today as well AND I got his announcements ordered AND they're super cute and I'm super excited about them!!

Some of my favorites!! And of course, Tatum took over, but who is surprised by that? lol!!

To be fair, swinging around a bamboo stick with fish on it around a toddler and expecting them NOT to want it is completely unrealistic parenting, but hey, who is judging us, right?

Tomorrow I'm *hopefully* getting out of the house to meet a friend for lunch, and then it's back to my "Honey Do" list I made for myself that keeps getting longer and longer and… longer. 😜

Knew it was going to be a challenging day today after Tatum woke up, came out into the hallway, and promptly threw herself face down on the floor and began her morning of whining.  Good lord, the Drama Diva was totally in the house and on fire today!

Wade took her for a walk and then some playing outside with sidewalk chalk this morning while Wyatt and I spent the morning crafting.  For lunch Tatum announced she wanted HAM, so we went over to Honey Baked Ham.  This is where the real adventures started.

She was acting kind of funny when we first got there, but too late I recognized the signs of a poop coming.  I hustled her into the bathroom only to find the gift had already been given, and no changing table.  For real, people, WHO HAS BATHROOMS WITHOUT CHANGING TABLES ANYMORE?

So, I earned a SERIOUS “Mommy Badge” today for my successful, amazingly mess-free, STANDING poopy pull-up changing skills.  For real y’all.  A STANDING UP POOP CHANGE. I’m feeling pretty boss at this point.  #SuperMom strikes again.

AND….. AANNNNDDDD….. after that she ate ALL her ham.  Boom.  Mike Drop.  Yassss.

Naptime was short, but my head was full of ideas for my booth, so I didn’t sleep at all.  When everyone woke up I announced my plans to Wade and told him I wanted them done today.  He wasn’t super happy with me, but since I’ve been such a good housewife this week I think he humored me.  =)  We packed the kids up in the cars (he had to take Truck Norris to pick up the wood) and headed off to Home Depot and Lonestar Mercantile.

This is where “Bad Mood Betty” entered the picture.  Drama Diva didn’t have enough nap before she woke herself up, and so the mood in the mini-van was pretty intense.  Luckily, #SuperMom was prepared for such shenanigans and brought my trusty sidekick, iPad.

We made it to the booth and Wade really busted his hump to get this thing done for me.  I think he really surprised even himself at how fast we accomplished such a task with TWO kids in tow.  Luckily I packed snacks, iPad, and when the native started to get restless improvised and built her a fort from my shelves that were waiting to go in the booth.  #SuperMom- 3, Bad Mood Betty- 0.  Woot Woot!

Tatum really did well for the hour and a half we were at Lonestar, so I promised her ice cream.  #SuperMom isn’t above bribes.  You work with the tools you’re given.

The booth turned out really good looking!  I can’t wait to get the finishing touches in and start loading it up with goodies for sale!  I have so many ideas swimming in my head it’s hard to keep them all straight, so I’ve started emailing them to myself as they come.  Needless to say, my email box is rather full.

We had another “funny” this evening when Tatum came back into our bedroom to give Wyatt his third goodnight hug.  She was standing over his Rock and Play about ready to bend down and hug him when he had a massive, noisy, gross, liquids-sounding poop.  It was loud and nightmarish sounding.  She totally stopped mid-stoop, looked up at me, and asked “What happened?”  I said “Baby Wyatt pooped, Honey.”

She stared at me for a second, looked down at him, straightened up, changed her mind about the hug, and quickly walked away.  I had a good laugh about that behind her back before she went to bed.  *grin*

Back to the regular grind of SAHM-hood tomorrow!  Need to get some of these To Do list things marked off!  ❤  Night all!
