What’s everyone up to? Surviving the deep freeze?

It's been as low as -34 f here. Poor N was on vacation last week from school and has been stir crazy being stuck indoors. We pretty much have been housebound the last week and a half. It's too cold to bring E out.
Settling into another even of cluster feeding and fussiness.

We are good here. I decided to go back to work early so this is my last week off. R will start daycare on Monday and I will go back to work on Wednesday. Monday and Tuesday I have appointments and need to tend to my much neglected house.
I hate being so unproductive and not getting anything accomplished. I do so much better with a schedule and a routine. I'll actually get more done even around the house going back to work.

Hey guys! My LO has his first cold so I’m sitting here feeling like worst mommy ever and also overanalyzing his breathing! The doctor assured me it’s just a cold, nothing serious though so I’m trying to distract myself!
Anyway, this is totally random but when I was looking for this forum today, I ended up on our old forum. I was seeing if it had any activity and I got a weird feeling from the posts over there...like something is off. Maybe I’m just crazy or in the habit of overanalyzing. Every active person I checked joined in December of last month and they all word things...strangely. Anyone else looked over there recently?

Wow jenn83, I'm impressed you are going back to work early. I couldn't do it.

Wow jenn83, I'm impressed you are going back to work early. I couldn't do it. It's really only 3 days early back to work and a week earlier for R to start daycare. I had already planned on going back on the 15th. Funny thing this leave is I actually got paid more to be on leave than I would have working. Because of how my leave fell, I used vacation to get paid my normal check, and got short-term disability payments. #winning

Going to have a warm up today. We should see 20s but we also have a Nor'easter that arrives tomorrow.

It’s suppose to warm up to the high 20s today so I’m pretty pumped about that. We need to replace the sliding door in our basement due to air leaks so we have pretty much been avoiding going down there since it is so cold. We finally took our Christmas tree down yesterday so today we are bringing up the baby swing and busting out a play mat for H so we don’t feel like we ha e to hold him nonstop.

H is back to work this week and I'm feeling a little trapped by the extreme cold. Trying to cope by making a list each night of small tasks to complete around the house the next day. M was super fussy yesterday and just wanted to be held, which made things tough. So far she seems to be more content today.
FYI for those of you who like yoga or are looking for some January structure - Yoga With Adriene started a new 30 day program yesterday on her YouTube channel yesterday!

Little dude is so clingy!! Just wants to be held upright. It’s making it hard to do anything. I’m going to the LC again today to see if they have any tips with my let down and whether that is contributing to his gas. Then I’ll pick up dd from ILs who thankfully are watching her this am. Baby steps with the solo parenting.

Settling in today for another snow event. 7-14 inches expected. Second day in a row N is home all day since preschool was cancelled. He's so stir crazy since he been house bound for so long. We've already threatened to put in him time out this morning. Send thoughts and prayers.....😂😂😂

The snow just started here an hour ago (Northern NJ). Big kids have no school. My 4 year old has half day but I'm not sending him. The wind is nasty. DH is still on paternity leave so no one has to go anywhere. I'm up with the 2 youngest, everyone else is asleep.

Hi Ladies! I’m so sorry I haven’t checked in since my induction. Hope everyone had wonderful holidays with their new babes! The past 3 weeks is just a complete blur over here. I literally keep half falling asleep as I write this, but I’m determined to finish! Lol
My induction went really well, babies were born just after midnight on 12/15. Baby B flipped breech after Baby A was born and my doctor did an awesome breech extraction. BFing and tending to two newborns is so much more exhausting than one, but we’re adjusting well!
I’ll come back and share pics tomorrow when I’m more awake!

I’ll come back and share pics tomorrow when I’m more awake! I couldn’t imagine tending to twins. A singleton is exhausting for me. You are a rock star!! Looking forward to seeing those beautiful babies. Also, as of yesterday, we have kind of joined in on convos on N17 since our board is so small and slow. Please feel free to pop over there as well.

Snip Anyway, this is totally random but when I was looking for this forum today, I ended up on our old forum. I was seeing if it had any activity and I got a weird feeling from the posts over there...like something is off. Maybe I’m just crazy or in the habit of overanalyzing. Every active person I checked joined in December of last month and they all word things...strangely. Anyone else looked over there recently? Curious - I just went looking on TCF and I don't see any posts since May? Am I looking on the wrong forum?

Some of the boards haven’t been posted on in a long time but like in this screenshot...everything is worded weird. It feels like maybe the same person is writing all the posts...and all the recent posts are like this.

Umm...yeah, this is really weird. Also, I clicked in the "new born incoming kid" story and it is really strange amd creepy! The two I read are both talking about a fertility clinic in Ukraine. Looks like the board has been overtaken by bots. Eta - this was supposed to be a reply to daystardreams
