I'm waiting impatiently for Lowes to call me back. We were supposed to have our new washer installed yesterday. Well we warned then to bring 3 guys because they have to lift both over the bathroom cupboard but they didn't listen. This morning the delivery manager said they might not be able to do it because it is a liability. He said he'd call me back.... that was 9:30. I'm real thrilled right now.

Does anyone else have a kiddo with a clogged tear duct? Anything I can do for it other than wipe it? It was good for a week or two but it is back to super goopy again 🤢

yellow711 I think I missed that..happy birthday!! pinkcat that little smiiiile! sarahh wahhh 2 months! It’s coming up so fast here too 😭 Good afternoon! I have set myself a good goal later this afternoon of walking the kids to the rink for DS’s hockey practice. H can meet us there with the van with the hockey equipment in it. I had such good intentions of picking DS up from preschool today after H dropped him off (he works right beside the school), I had me and the girls all dressed up for outside and had DD1 all pumped to take N on an adventure to preschool, and I opened the garage door and saw H took the van with everyone’s car seats in it to drop DS off bah! It would have just been too much back and forth switching vehicles around so I just let him do pickup. But I was pretty much there guys, I almost did it lol. H forgot the one important part of the logistics that would have gotten me there haha. If we were ready sooner we could have walked, but oh well. That goal is now set for Thursday at least. Hope everyone has a good day!

DS had preschool all day today, DH and I took the baby to her first pediatrician appointment. Everything is well, but we have to go back tomorrow for a weight check. She lost 9% of body weight. DH is giving her 20 ml of breastmilk in a bottle after each feeding from me. Hopefully this is enough. We will see. Here are a few picks from her hospital shoot and one of my two babies.

I think I’ve ruined DS for naptime. Either that or he is going through a phase, bc he sleeps GREAT in the PNP during the nighttime. But has only been taking good naps when he’s laying on my chest. Which is fine, I’ve had the time today to lay down with him and I’m tired too. But whenever I put him back in the PNP he wakes up right away lol. Oh well I love the cuddles & since he hates actual tummy time right now this is my way of getting him some happy time on his tummy lol.
Also I saw a girl on FB whose 7 week old is already reeeally strong on his tummy and rolling over & everything so I’m feeling all sorts of “should DS be doing this by now” etc. which I hate worrying about. DD didn’t crawl until 11mo so I know all babies move at different speeds.

When I was pregnant with DS1 two years ago, DH decided his hairline was receding and decided to grow it long one more time for a last hurrah. He had it long in college when we met. (His hairline was not receding, it’s still right where it’s always been). I figured he would get annoyed with it and cut it off fairly quickly, but he did end up just letting it grow. It’s insanely curly and he got NO maintenance cuts so it just looked ridiculous all the time.
Today he finally, FINALLY got annoyed with dealing with it and cut it off. He looks a million times better. It took two years and two babies, but he looks like a grownup again instead of a creepy older guy who works at a skate shop.

It was good for a week or two but it is back to super goopy again 🤢 You’re supposed to massage it in a circular motion right at the inside corner. Both my girls have had them. That’s what the Ped said to do.

yellow711 , sorry to hear about your migraines, that is really sucky. So do you think hormones have to do with yours too then if you didn't get them while pregnant? Possible. It took me 7 months to conceive J and I wasn't on the medication at that time either... so, I am not sure about the hormones? Migraines suck. Headaches suck

My DD was also a late bloomer in the gross motor skills. She didn't start crawling until 5 days before her 1st birthday. She didn't start walking until 16 months (and we also did physical therapy due to the gross motor delay). If you look at her now, you would have no clue she was delayed!!

I was a little nervous for DS’ weight check today. Not for any major reason, just hoping it was going well. He also has been looking a tad yellow and I didn’t want to deal with the jaundice rigamarole again. He’s gone from 9lbs 1oz when he was born on Wednesday, to 8lbs 9oz on Friday, to 9lbs 6oz today. So I can just keep doing what I’m doing! Doctor isn’t concerned about a little yellow, so no blood tests to deal with.

sunfrogger when do you go in for your induction? I thought it was the morning. I’m all of a sudden really into your impending birth. I’ve always liked you but your late night impulse spring wreath crafting has me near obsessed w you bc this is something I’d never ever do and I’m really impressed.

I’m always happy when I see stuff like this bc DS1s very slow weight gain dominated his first year of life in my mind. DS2 gained normally and it was so different not to worry. Enjoy one less thing to stress about!

It’s so rejuvenating to be able to get outside like that with ease I could have posted this exact thing. The only difference was we had a high of 55. It was awesome to go for a stroller walk! What state do you live in rebeccabunch?

That’s what the Ped said to do. DD2 had one and we did the breastmilk in the eye. She ended up having them probed at 14 months. Super simple surgery but annoying still. ETA I meant to say we tried massage and tried breastmilk.

What state do you live in rebeccabunch ? Same here! I went out with my friend who has the twins that are about 5 weeks old. All the babies did great once we got going. We both brought our k'tans along in case they didn't make it the whole way in the stroller though!

Btw, I never asked what you thought of the Crazy Ex Girlfriend finale? I loved Paula’s birth song. I loved how Nathaniel really really loves her otherwise it was alright. I realize she wants to be accountable but I want the show to be fun.

My DD walked around 16 months too! She was wizard-sharp with her fine motor skills though & talked up a storm so I figured that was just her “thing.” I already can tell it will be hard not to compare DS to DD!

It was unseasonably warm here in IA too! While my oldest was at preschool I loaded up the other girls into the double stroller and went for a long walk. It was SO NICE. I seriously think I have some form of seasonal affective disorder. I miss being outside.

Overall I loved the season but the finale wasn't my favorite. Some of it was too forced and the scene of her and Trent on the roof was over the top. I loved Paula's song though!

+1 for a nice walk this afternoon! The double stroller (we have the UB Vista) is such a beast. It's so hard to manage bc dd is like 35 lbs and she's in the front, so I have to really push hard to lift her over a curb. It will be much easier when DS is big enough to go in the front but that won't be for a while.
Tomorrow DD has no school so I'm going to try to spend good time with her. I dunno though she is giving me a run for my money.

Today was a good day! We went on a walk this morning to the grocery store. Then we all took a 2 hour family nap, which was AMAZING! I have dinner going and I nursing L! I need to finish cleaning the kitchen and then I think I can relax! Hopefully H will be home soon.
