Week of 10/22 Randoms

[pinkcat]

Happy Monday all!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, and that all of the sick kids (and moms!) are starting to feel better.

What is everyone up to this week? 

[watermelonseed]

Hey all!

Phew, it’s been a long few days. Both girls are still fighting HFM. DD1 looks so sad and keeps saying boo boo when she seems her blisters. It’s heartbreaking.

I’m really hoping everyone is all cleared up by Halloween!

[jessijean]

We are headed to urgent care this evening DS1 fever is not responding to tylenol and he's scheduled for surgery friday. I'm betting another ear infection. This is becoming about $100/wk in copays. I'm taking the baby because he's so freshly post op and had a fever last night too.
I just want healthy kiddos!

Baby E started saying Mama this weekend! I’m so excited. For awhile it was mixed in with other babbly sounds, but now she very clearly just says mama when I leave the room or she wants me to pick her up.

Oof jessijean and watermelonseed hope your kids all feel better soon!

[marygracerich]

I hope the sick kiddos are better soon!

I don’t have much planned this week. I had a dentist appointment today.

I have to return a few things this week and I have to go to work at some point. It’s a very vague week as far as plans go. Lol

[pinkcat]

jessijean and watermelonseed I hope your LOs are feeling better soon!!

Survived my first day of my crazy work week. Still trying to figure the baby out as far as pooping since it was loose again today one time but he’s showing nothing else but drooling a ton. I’m just an anxious ball of mess that he’s sick and I’ll have to figure out daycare or that he’s spreading germs to everyone. Anxiety can go away at any point.

Mine has been saying mama too! Also bapa (which is papa for dh), which I find even cuter! 🤷🏼‍♀️ lol he just only says mama when he wants me to pick him up!

[pippiann]

watermelonseed and jessijean hope your babes get better ASAP!

[pippiann]

Hey ladies! I am finally getting the condo in somewhat order! I have been here for already 3 weeks and there is still boxes! Leo had a great birthday! Went crazy for his cake and loved his balls! Which was all I got him. 🤷🏼‍♀️ second child problems! Here’s a few pics from his day! (excuse me, lol)

[sunfrogger]

We're finally all well in this house. Yay!

I really need my mgr to start letting me wfh on a regular basis. I'm exhausted from going in to the office every day.

5 weeks left of my MBA....

[marygracerich]

G is on her way to school. Little man is cuddling with me. I have to make myself some breakfast soon.
Today is going to be a chill at home kind of day.

[thunderenterprise]

Today is the day of false starts. lol

I ended up with DD in the guest room around 1:30 and then could not get myself out of bed when my alarm went off at 5. DD was just far too snuggly. Then the internet wasn't working at home and DD was being a teething hot mess, so I was late getting out the door. Add rain on the commute (i.e. people lose their minds and forget how to drive) and then I was halfway to office on the walking portion of my morning when I realized I left my badge in the car.

So. I'm at my desk and I'm determined to start turning things around for the day.

I need to remember to take DD's 9 month picture tonight because it just didn't happen yesterday.

pippiann those are on my wishlist for DS2. Are they hard though so if they throw them they can break something?

[sarahh]

Things have been crazy the past week. DD2's stomach virus kept me home with her last monday and tuesday and while she still had loose stool she went back to daycare on wednesday. She seems to be completely better now which is good.

I don't want to jinx it but DD1 has not had an accident in 2 days even during nap. Fx this is the end of diapers for her except for night.

My parents fly in from AZ this weekend and will be here for 2 days. DH didn't mention this when they booked their flights that he has an event all weekend which is convenient. I'm trying to figure out something to do with them while they're here but it really all depends on how cold it is this weekend. I think the Zoo will be fun but not if it's too cold.

Happy birthday to the little pippiann

[thunderenterprise]

Happy birthday little pippiann!

[jessijean]

My anxiety has been horrible since Sunday morning. Almost continuous. I think it's due to hormone changes because I weaned from pumping this week. I know it's also from my sons having surgery within a week of each other. I'm so jittery, lack of concentration and was even nauseous part of the day today.

I have a counseling session in the morning but just text her to see if she thinks I should ask my doctor for a medication increase. Meditation is not taking the edge off like it had been.

Hugs jessijean

Is anyone who is still nursing dealing with nurstastics yet? I don't remember having to set limits this early.

Also I'm starting to officially drop my 3rd pump 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 wahoooo 🙏🏻 I hate pumping. 4 more months!

Oh we have been having nurstastics for awhile now. I just let it happen...

I'm so ready to drop pumps too! But not for awhile. My goal is to maintain current frequency until Christmas break and then try to go down to 1x a day! (currently pumping 3x a day also) That's only about 8 more weeks (ish).

[watermelonseed]

It’s Wednesday, right?









We got our fall pics back! You’d never know the chaos behind the scenes lol

[thunderenterprise]

Yay, Wednesday!

[marygracerich]

I’ll share! I posted some of these pics on IG and my other bmb so sorry if they are repeats.
G and her pouty bff (pics posted with her moms permission)

Little dude on the train

They squeezed into one seat on my stroller 😂 they are munching on chips

I almost blurred out my face in this pic because I am all squished and look like I have 362847384 chin rolls.

[sarahh]

I luckily took a few this week. I can’t believe DD2 is going to be 10 months in 3 days! And still no teeth!
