Moving Day! It's also snowing! We're trapped in a bedroom watching ALL THE SCREENS. It looks like the snow is tapering off so we'll probably get on the road soon.

He woke up at 4:30 with a temp of 103. Ibuprofen brought it down about an hour & a half later. He went back to sleep and no fever when he got up at 8. We'll see what happens the rest of the day. My MIL is a saint.

Easter Monday is a national vacation day over here, so both kids and Dh are home today. It has been raining all day, of course the minute we thought ‘screw it we’ll put a movie on for them’ the sun came out. So the kids are watching a movie, Dh is grading papers and I’m researching our summer vacation.

Morning! We had a busy weekend and it wore me out. I normally have a house full of people for Easter, but I decided yesterday would just be us and I'm glad I did. I made some prosciutto wrapped asparagus and au gratin potatoes with gruyere to go with the ham, and they were to die for. Plus, apple pie and ice cream....mmm. I want to eat it all again.
My visit with my mom went ok, we had some pretty frank talks and I hope some of what I said got through. Either way, she had a good time with the kids and it was nice to spend some time with her. Today my ILs are visiting and I'm not really in the mood for them, so I suggested they spend some time with their grandchildren and sent them all out the door. I know some of it is just me and I'm tired and grouchy, but being with them can be exhausting at the same time.
Off to catch up on the weekend...I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

Happy Birthday mwhip! Sorry you are not feeling well chrisy01 . MS is the worst. peachsmama That is going to look great! yummeecookee Every time you talk about that situation, I feel the awkward discomfort for you. Cannot imagine if my dad had brand new babies, although now days I would not be surprised either. I wonder how weird is it for him to be a new Dad and a Grandpa at the same time?

Lets hope my H agrees. The builder let me bring the samples home and in the sunlight they look even better. I can't wait for A to see them! And he said as long as the weather straightens up we should be in the first part of July! JULY! I could have my own space by JULY! I'm giddy.

cagoldi how is P? I was the drive back-and-forth for you? She's good but got too tired to do one of her full feedings yesterday so they had to finish the rest with a tube. So two steps forward, one step back, basically. I'm going there with Pete soon to do her 11 am feeding. I didn't get home last night from visiting until 1 am. So, we're all tired. Pete hasn't even held her yet so today will be his first feeding and snuggle time. I guess this has been harder on the boys than I thought. X freaks out if me or Pete leave his sight for a second, and apparently Dude kept telling his teacher he missed me. He also cried a little bit this morning because he wants Persephone to come home. Gah.

cagoldi I'm sorry the boys are struggling. It's so hard to balance everyones needs when you have kids in one place, let alone two. But this will be short term and you all can do it. I hope she does well with her feeds today.

Awww, cagoldi, that makes me sad for the boys. I hope she gets to come home soon so you can get your new routine established. Thanks for the birthday wishes! I drank too much at Easter yesterday, so the gym was rough...I probably smell like a sweaty bar! Now to shower and get out the door.

Signed Cadence up for a new swim class at a new school. It's a Saturday class right after gymnastics. I was considering stopping gymnastics for the summer, but she says she doesn't want to stop, so we'll try both and see how she does.

cagoldi and wineallthetime I just wanted to say you two are troopers. I know the NICU stays are probably taking their toll, and it's gotta feel impossible to want to be in two places at once. You're in the thick of it right now, but hopefully soon you will be bringing healthy babies home and this will all be in the rearview. Hang in there, you ladies are doing an amazing job!

I'm going to make a LSS here...
My half brother called me a couple months ago because one of his daughters (my niece that I've only met once in 2001) is getting married in August just outside of Dallas. She wants M to be her flower girl. He said she doesn't know any other kids around that age and she really wanted it to be someone in the family. Which is sweet and kind of weird at the same time.
Anyway, he said he'd give my phone # to her and let her contact me since it's her wedding and doesn't want to be the go between person. Fine with me.
I still haven't heard from her. It's kind of weird, right? Shouldn't M need to order a dress by now? Unless she's doing a low key thing and doesn't care about what kind of dress it is. IDK.
I'd prefer M wasn't in the wedding because my sister is going to drive down with my parents for it and then my parents are driving back with me. And that way my sister and I could hang out kid free.
Should I call my brother to see what's up or just let it be and hope she changed her mind?
PDQ

It's definitely been challenging. We've been here 4 weeks, but hopefully will go home in the next 2 weeks which is pretty good for a 31 week baby! Goldi, I know how you feel. For us the first week or two were the hardest on the kids. Now they're kinda used to it and their new routine. It is always hard leaving them though because they get so sad. Plus, at first it's hard while trying to recover and deal with post pardum hormones as well.

tgrimes , I would probably not reach out. My guess is she changed her mind, since she's never even met M! If she reaches out later, and it's too late to get the dress, then that's her problem. Edit to add - in this case i would not reach out, since you don't have a relationship with her, if you were close, I would reach out

I’m home today. A guy is here cleaning some of our rugs. I’m putting Letty down for nap and Gunner is in here in the closet with and iPad because I didn’t want to leave him out there with a random man. Lol.

Well our second new driver fell through. I'm secretly happy.. He was finicky and I already have 2 drivers like that lol. I wish I could put a requirement that they also know how to use a tablet/computer well.. One driver calls me 2 seconds after sending me an email to make sure it came through lol. Cracks me up.
