Morning! We had my moms retirement party party last night. It was great to hear so many speak about how valuable she was to the agency. I of course, already knew how amazing she is. But we all had a great time. When I picked up S from my cousin who was babysitting, she was still awake...at 10:15 😬. But she fell asleep in .02 seconds once I put her in the car seat. Got home at 11 and successfully got her into bed without waking her. Then she woke up at 6 with a fever.
Headed to see my grandparents now. Then tomorrow heading home.

We’re all packed in the car headed to B’s first gymnastics class! We’re so extra.
Then home for lunch and off to sportball for him. Busy but fun day!

M2 went down for a nap a bit ago. He’s a cat napper, so he may be up real soon. I’m lounging in bed waiting for breakfast to be ready. MH and M headed to work this morning for a little bit. Not much planned today. Hoping to clear out the guest room closet.
Annnnnd he’s up... it would be nice if the kid would nap for more than 20 minutes.

My in-laws came to take the kids to the mall for the play place and cookies. C decided not to go and changed then his mind and wanted to go. He's been screaming and throwing a tantrum since which is fun.

lahdeedah, cat naps are frustrating! Both of my kids did that for awhile. It's such a tease.

guster I didn’t catch that you decided to put it on the market! I hope it will be a smooth process for you! We were going to wait until the spring, but I found a house that I really liked, so I called my real estate agent about possibly doing it now. Unfortunately, the townhouses aren't selling as quickly, so it might be a longer process than I am hoping for.

Thankfully no deep scratches but a couple of little scratches in the corner of the bedroom from a night table. I will probably pick up one of those pens just in case I see something along the way. Thank you for the tip! ETA: i've been trying to look at the house very critically from an outsider's standpoint. I was the same way when we sold ours—I don’t think most people are as picky/OCD as I am, but then you watch these HGTV shows where people veto a million-dollar home because they don’t like the faucet in the kitchen, so what do I know 🤷🏻♀️ A can't watch those shows. He ends up screaming at the tv "A GALLON OF PAINT IS $30!!!!"

Hello ladies. I slept in and DH got the girls at 11:30. S is currently down for a nap and H is being a pain in my butt. Sounds like the sleepover went well. I love how the laundry room turned out and it’s such a struggle waiting for the paint to fully cure before I can get things hung and back in place. Tonight we are going out with friends for my birthday (it’s not till Monday).

We signed S up for school of rock - it’s a chain and I highly recommend it if there are any near any of you... especially for cagoldi. He is so in love with it. They play instruments and sing rock songs (this week was we will rock you & drums ) Tonight we have a babysitter and it’s someone who used to work at the kids’ day care who they loved but we haven’t had an opportunity to use yet. Super excited

Question... when did you guys tell your LO’s about the baby? DH wants to tell Nolan and then have him tell our parents tonight. We’re telling our parents tonight either way but I’m unsure about when to tell N.

So Colin WAS dry this morning. He also corrected an instructor at skating when they tried to put him in one of the more play-focused groups instead of the more skills-focused one. And he spent all of swimming in the pool! It's a random mid-January miracle!! He DID forget to hold on at swimming and go under. The instructor got him right away but he was shaken up and sat at the edge with me for 2 minutes. But he didn't fight going back in and he held on tightly after that. Who IS this kid?

guster Yes, staying in town. We have been looking for a while. Everything here either really outdated but still pricey. OR Super nice but way too big and way too expensive. Or just bad. The house we put an offer on was well within our price range and only on the market for 5 days total before they accepted an offer. You have to move fast here on the 'good' houses. We are disappointed.

We’re telling our parents tonight either way but I’m unsure about when to tell N. We told C right away. I did worry a bit at first because he was SO excited (still is), it would've been tough on him should something happen. It has been fun having him know the whole time though. He always looks at my pregnancy app to see how big the baby is and gets excited when I have new ultrasound pictures.

We’re telling our parents tonight either way but I’m unsure about when to tell N. We took ds to the first us, that’s when he found out . I’m was ridiculously emotional (in hind side) about bringing him, because I wanted him to be part of the next step.

B didnt know about baby #2, and with J I told him, and everyone else, at about 13 weeks once I had a couple u/s’s, heard her heartbeat and had an EDD.

cheeksmum this is so exciting! Congratulations! We waited to tell Dude until around 13 weeks. I wanted to know the sex first, I thought that he would react better to learning he was having a sister instead of another brother.

We’re telling our parents tonight either way but I’m unsure about when to tell N. After miscarrying before H, we waited to tell Mara until after the first trimester was over. I was already showing by then so I couldn’t really keep it a secret from her much longer.

I’m annoyed with MH. He came him from work and was useless. He’s napping right now. At 6, his friend is coming over so they can go to a birthday party tonight.
Please, continue to let me do everything...
Rant over.
