wineallthetime, I'm so sorry it's like this right now. It WILL get better. Please take time for yourself. Get the rest you need and keep moving--walks if you can't get in full workouts, but something. Find someone who will regularly let you talk your way through this. It's easy to lose yourself in NICU life. All three of your babies need you, but they can't have every last bit of you so that nothing is left. Enjoy the moments you have where you are without feeling guilty for where you're not. Give them each what you can, and remember that this is just a season. Hugs, mama. You can do this.

Good morning. Dh just left for his trip. Apparently when I said make the flight as late in the day as possible from Providence it wasn’t heard and it’s an early in the day from Boston. Whatever. One less person to care for and I get his Cheesecake Factory leftovers from last night😉
I feel a little better today so far. I’m a bit nervous for work tomorrow but I’m going to go to bed early and give myself extra time in the morning.
My dad will be here in an hour to go to ninja class with us. Of course C is saying he doesn’t want to go. I think he’s just being a little shy about my dad coming. Hopefully it’s not a fight to get him to join in.

nam2013 love your hair. I see what you mean about A’s hair, but hopefully it will grow out quickly. wineallthetime I’m sorry you’re feeling left out in all situations. Like everyone said, it’s only temporary. Big hugs.

Sitting on the couch waiting for my brother. Cadence is playing with her new boy dolls, Camera and Campsite. She already had Camera, so I guess this is Camera II. And taking heads off her LOLs. I need coffee.

We’ll probably just hang out at the house & park today. The girls want to go to the beach but I’m not doing that on a weekend.
H is a cranky drool monster right now so maybe he’s finally getting a tooth.

Hi from work. The office is a disaster. I get the Sunday person emails people that they have stuff pending but that doesn't mean when a group has a ton of stuff you don't reach out. I wish I could take a picture of it for you all

I'm so sick of the tease of 50 degree weather and getting 38 instead. I just want to curl up in a blanket. At least E is playing solo with his legos.

Still sick. Just went to the dr and they said it’s viral but if I’m not better by Wednesday I’ll probably need antibiotics because it turned bacterial. MH took the kids swimming at the gym for the first time by himself. Hallelujah. I’m sure he’ll be congratulating himself later on what an awesome dad he is. Whatever, I’ll take it.

The weather here sucks this March. And i don’t see anything above mid-40’s in the 10 day forecast. I’m so over winter weather and being indoors.
MH says he wants to move outside of Atlanta now because this winter has been so long. We just bought our house 2.5 years ago and have sunk a pretty penny into it trying to renovate it to our preferences. We are also walking distance to all the schools.
I told him if he’s serious though then we’d have to do it soon and stay until the kids graduated. I had a really hard time when we moved school districts in middle school. I don’t want my kids to have to deal with that.

wineallthetime I’m sorry. I’d be hurt too if the kids preferred Daddy after I’d been away. Maybe see this as a unique opportunity that the older two have in forming a closer bond with YH. I’m sure everything will be back to normal once you and baby are home full time and the kids see that you aren’t going to leave any more.

I’m sore. I plan on being lazy all day. It’s supposed to get into the 40s so we’ll play outside this afternoon. But then it’s supposed to snow tomorrow afternoon into tuesday. Quit it Mother Nature!

There is a cat I want to go meet. 1 year old, just had a litter of kittens who are all preadopted. Mh is dragging his feet on it though, so I may just go by myself.

I'd kill for "hot" right now tgrimes. We are due more freezing cold, rain and even some "wintry mix" this week. Joy. I'm tired of winter clothes, tired of the kids' winter clothes, tired of the constant putting on/taking off jackets and layers, etc. Ha, clearly I am a Floridian thru and thru. I am not meant for climates like this.

Also, hi. DH just took B down to the flight school to do some paperwork and probably give them ungodly sums of money. I've told him I really don't want to know about that--just pay them and don't tell me about it (maybe I should change my name from Flamingo to Ostrich). I think they are going to go to the trampoline park afterwards.
Depending on how motivated I get, I might attempt to brave Target with C; I need to figure out some things for the kids' Easter baskets. So far I have swim suits and rash guards for B/cover-up for C.

I was just sweeping my kitchen and found a toy ball on the floor. So I tried to throw it into the living room...and took out the glass on one of my pendant lights. The good news is that the kids weren’t in the kitchen so no one got hurt, and I found the replacement glass for $8. It also made me climb up there and realize how dusty/gross those lights had gotten so I cleaned them all. I need to remember to get up there more often.

We are heading home for the tournament. We came in 5th out of 11 teams. Top 4 are playing now and have the championship game tonight. We went to the chocolate factory and the kids created their own chocolate bars. It turned out to be a good weekend but we are all ready to be home. Today was DS's last squir game and now he moves up to PeeWee where they can start checking each other, I'm not ready.

I’ve been giving O miralax every day and he hasn’t pooped since i picked him up early from school on Friday. I told him he needs to go today or else he’ll have a tummy ache again at school tomorrow. How is the miralax not making him go?!

How is the miralax not making him go?! is he sitting regularly to try to poop? And drinking a lot of water? Hmm. How big was Fridays poop?

He’s acting like he wants nothing to do with pooping these days. I got him to sit for a few mins this morning. Friday was big and almost liquidy, so i know the miralax worked. He must be working hard to keep it in.

Ugh, Snoop. Poop troubles are awful. I'm sorry! I hope he goes soon and it's not traumatic.

It's 50, sunny and gorgeous here! I'm back with A. MH and the kids were going to go see them, but I think they're going to enjoy the weather with all the neighborhood kids. I think I'll go home in the evening tomorrow so MH can come spend some time with A.

C has a cough and it’s starting to sound yucky. I gave him his inhaler. He’s acting fine otherwise but didn’t nap partially due to the cough. I also think I might have an infection. I’ll spare you the details but I’ll have to call my Dr tomorrow. Sigh.

Little Miss Lady Jaye will be joining our family next month after her kittens are weaned and she gets spayed. I love her and her fluffy tail.
