I cut L off from milk at bedtime today, clearly I'm late to do this... MH and I got into a little spat about it because he thinks it's fine for her to have milk in bed for life. We're fine though and she's snoozing away.

chrisy01 I have put together 2 Ikea couches. We'll, the same one twice. Once when we got it and then again when I recovered it about 2 years later. They aren't difficult.

Got to my Dad's yesterday. The neighbor helped me find the broken pipe. I crawled under to replace it and it was bigger than I thought and I didn't want to crawl down further, so I texted my other neighbor today to see if he wants some quick cash by fixing it. He's coming by tomorrow to do it.
Luckily I already have all the materials and broken pipes are nothing new so it doesn't really bother me.
In other news, I got a cash offer on the house yesterday! I knew the people were interested, but they came by yesterday and gave me an offer. It isn't as much as I had hoped, but I talked to my brothers and we think it's best to go ahead and accept it. I'm going to see if they will be ok with a May 1st move in date.

MH and I have been watching Being Human on Netflix. It’s a series from the Syfy channel but it’s pretty good!

That's great klong11. There's a lot to be said from being out from under it and not having the stress of possible issues cropping up, etc, and since it's cash the sale should go through easily. |

The boys wee both fine today. Colin was a bit grumpy and Chase's nose was running non-stop, but no fevers nor nothing particularly concerning. FX nothing changes.
I am a wreck and possibly getting worse. I think I'm going to sleep in the guest room in hopes that DH stays healthy-ish. I also think this weekend is a wash for my training - I just can't imagine waking up tomorrow and feeling up to running 17 miles. And I certainly can't imagine trying to parent all day afterwards. Today was hard enough on zero miles.

Congrats on the offer klong11! And I’m impressed with your pipe fixing abilities. guster glad the open house went well! joelies I’m sorry your feeling worse! My parents are at my house watching S while MH and I are in Arkansas hosting a youth event for the non profit MH chairs. My mom just called and said that S got a hold of her full cup and spilled tea on the monitor and now it won’t work. She’s got it in a bag of rice but she doesn’t have much hope. So I’ve checked 2 out .... ones a VTech and the other is Babysense. Anyone have any good or bad experience with those brands? They are both under $100. I don’t want to spend much because there will be no more lfig babies, and we shouldn’t need a monitor for too much longer with S. MH said he didn’t think we needed to replace it but I want to. I still like having it. |

We're fine though and she's snoozing away. The bottle/boob/formula/pacifier struggles are real. And I’ve done it different for each kid. 🤷🏼♀️ |

joelies whatever you do do not run 17 miles! You need to get better and pushing yourself will make you more susceptible to complications. When is your marathon again? Schedules are meant to be broken/modified for real life!

We are headed back home tomorrow though. So I get one more day to sleep in! Has the melatonin been helping her sleep better? Yes! I give her a pill at 6:45 and then she goes to bed at 7:15-7:30 so easily. It’s been wonderful. I had only been giving her 1 mg before and it was ok...but not quite as easy. Plus when I was doing that we had trouble with super early wakings. But the neurologist suggested we do the 3 mg. So far we haven’t had any 4am wake ups *knocks on all the wood* so it must knock her out better than the 1 mg. |

The bottle/boob/formula/pacifier struggles are real. And I’ve done it different for each kid. 🤷🏼♀️ X is going to take bottles to college, I'm pretty sure. Lol! L was really into the bottle too. C wasn't phased at all by getting rid of them. We went cold turkey on the bottles for L at Thanksgiving and she's been doing fine but will occasionally flip out if she sees a bottle. Then of course we replaced the bedtime bottle of milk with a sippy, so another habit to break. I always say I'm glad my kids never took to the paci so I don't have to deal with that, that always sounds so hard to me! |
