Music class today. Ethan is finally starting to like it and run around less. You know. When there’s like 2 classes left and I didn’t sign us up for next semester.

Betweenthelines, we did a 24-hour bus trip to NYC in December one year. While it was awesome to see it for the holidays. NEVER AGAIN!

Pizzaslut, I tell myself every year that I will never go into Manhattan during Christmas... and here I am.. The place is addicting. I just try to stay far away from Midtown.

E has been yelling “no way!” about everything for about 3 days now. Sometimes “no way! go away!” Now this afternoon it has escalated to “mommy! Mom! No way” about literally everything.

What’s the best way to say “I hope you aren’t planning on picking him up from here”
I emailed my mil about visiting Isaacs class in January and she responded with that that day will work and then mentioned bil is coming in on Thursday and getting picked up Friday. Ummmm we won’t be here. We leave Thursday after school to spend a few days with my parents

Bil has friends here. Sil also moved to the area recently. So he can’t be expecting to stay here... I hope

I'm so looking forward to Christmas. I've pretty much done with all my prep. I got my results back for the NIIPT and everything looks good. Found out I'm carrying a boy.

I'm about to pour a glass of wine. We just got an offer on our house that is $20k more than the offer we accepted and now my head is spinning.

I loved this couple and I want to do right by all my family by not picking someone that could potentially be a shitty neighbor, but damn... It's a lot of money.

Betweenthelines I'm confused. I thought you accepted an offer? Or was it a conditional offer and not yet finalized? I hope you get everything finalized soon so you can relax! Did you and YH decide on putting in an offer for a house yet?

armpants that is such exciting news! How did the expectant parents react? Do you have much contact with them during this time? I just keep thinking what an incredible Christmas and upcoming year you will make for them! Xo

Did you and YH decide on putting in an offer for a house yet? We accepted an offer and contracts are being drawn. Nothing signed yet. From what I understand, by law here, there's 45 days that offers can still be put in (and possibly accepted). We are tossing around putting an offer in on the house I thought was too big.. we saw a house yesterday that I loved, but it was farther away and needed a little face lift.. it wasn't much smaller than the big big house that was closer to family.. so idk..

I'm SO looking forward to the break at the holidays. I plan to take 2 weeks. Work has been ridiculous lately and I'm trying keep cool. Like WTF to people not doing their damn jobs! I am so sick and tired with having to deal with people's files that are not complete. Just do your damn job!

I hope knowing the sex gives them a very happy Hanukkah.

That’s really exciting armpants! Congrats on all the good news! It sounds like my inlaws have a plan. I just don’t know what that plan is and if it is suppose to involve us. Lol. I need to formulate a response. We are either leaving Wednesday or Thursday. Depending on weather. Betweenthelines good luck on all the decisions.

I think my chiropractor is fixing things and making me have side effects from my medication. I started getting some tremors today (shaky hands). I remember having this when I was a kid and taking the same medication. Or I’m just suddenly having side effects.

I just read that going to chiro can help lower bp. Plus my medicine which helps with migraine prevent is also given to people who have high bp. I might need to call my doctor if these symptoms continue.

I hope everyone is feeling better soon! Today was the longest day ever. Jack had an appointment at 10 for his reflux- the office was running behind, got out late and made it to my appointment 10 minutes late. Jack is now on Zantac (*fingers crossed* it helps). He’s only gained 5 oz since the 30th (should be about an oz a day). They also sent us for an US to check for pyloric stenosis, that ended up being a very long process because there was a mix up with the doctors office scheduling the appointment and then no one told me he needed to fast. Fortunately everything looked good. We’ll follow up next week and hopefully he starts gaining weight. I’m starting Lexapro, it’s a new medication for me, so I’m hoping it goes well. Worm was a rockstar today. She was seriously so well behaved and barely complained even though it was a very long and boring day for her. Tonight is not going as well- she won’t even settle down for me to try to get her to sleep. H isn’t helping at all and I’m a little annoyed. He’s doing fantasy football research. He has 1 or 2 more weeks left- it’s winner take all, and as long as he wins next game (or 2) it’s $1200. So I guess I can’t be too upset he’s not helping. I’m exhausted though and just want Wormy to chill.

Hope L feels better (and stays better) soon! CestLaVieskinandbones oh no! Hopefully you're back to healthy quickly. Betweenthelines good luck with your decision making. I do not envy you!

Need to catch back up on my laundry/cleaning. My bigger kids were up before 5 and refusing to go back to sleep. DS1 was up a couple times in the night, and so was DS2, so I'm pretty tired. Hoping they'll chill out with a movie for a bit, so I can rest up. I didn't end up making pasta last night, but I'm hoping to today. So excited to experiment with my new kitchen toy!

Ummmm we won’t be here. We leave Thursday after school to spend a few days with my parents I would just politely remind them that you are visiting your parents.
