It might just be me but I think we’re entering a teething hell. Baby has been up 3 times between 8:30pm and 6:15am. Yawn.

Good morning! I have been up since 4. MHs alarm went off and I couldn’t go back to sleep. It really sucks because I have a lot to do today. G is starting ST and OT at a center today so I have to bring her there and the baby has to come with. Then G has her teacher this afternoon. All I want to do is nap. Lol

Stupid prime day sales are making me think I need the dumbest stuff. Between that, Nordstrom, and Target and all the other million sales right now, it’s making me want to spend so much money. 🙈

And of course the one thing I bought wasn’t on sale. All the things that I want aren’t on sale on any site of course.

I’ve got some random toys in my Amazon cart right now. Some clothes in a Nordstrom cart. Nothing on Target yet. I’ll likely end up with nothing. 😂

Other than a quick wake up as we were going to bed, Faith slept all night again. I think we are finally turning a corner! My sister watched Faith last night so we could see a movie (Ant Man) and my old nephew who is 7 drew this picture for Faith. He says all the lines show how much he loves her. He has some behavioral problems ODD, ADHD, plus anxiety and we are on the watch for bipolar since his dad has it. It is amazing to watch him with her because she has this magical ability to stop tantrums in their tracks. If he starts up all we have to do is ask him if he wants to hold her, or play with her and the tears stop and he smiles and immediately goes to wash his hands. It is so adorable.

There is a cabinet I want too but I am trying to find something similar for less money on wayfair or somewhere else.

I just bought two Melissa & Doug wooden toys for Faith for Christmas. So far I've not seen anything too exciting.

Morning!
Today is packing day for another camping trip tomorrow! My parents are going down there today and we’ll meet them tomorrow. I’m excited about the sites I got us and it should be a great trip!
And speaking of, H and I have been talking about this for awhile, but yesterday actually kind of started looking at trucks and hard sided camper trailers which would be an exciting and well used addition to our family! We would trade in/sell our car and tent trailer to do so. We’ll focus on that more when we get back from this excursion!

aprilz81 that’s so sweet that he connects with her so well. Similarly, DD1 is 3, so just in high emotion time, and also recently came to discover she needs N to calm her down. She can be crying so hard and just needs to hold and rub her hand or lie in bed with her for a couple minutes. It’s so cute.

Hi ladies! I’m currently sitting at the car dealership ALONE waiting while they do my oil change and a service so I actually have time to hang out here for a bit! DD1 is at VBS all this week from 9-12 which is pure bliss. Dd2 is with MIL for the morning while I’m here.
Our house goes on the market tomorrow so we have been so so so busy finishing up getting the house fully ready, which I am so happy to report that we are done wth everything. So I should start to have some free time again. Fx it sells quick because DNW to have to deal with a million showings over the next few weeks.
We also leave for vacation Sunday morning. We’ll be gone for the week, hence the rush to get the house done and listed this week so we can have an open house while we’re gone and hopefully lots of showings 🤞🏻

Just got back from our 6 month check up. 12lbs 4oz and 24.5 inches. She is such a runt. Lol. She’s happy and healthy so everyone just keeps saying wait and see, which is great but also annoying because I can’t just relax about it.
So random baby poop question. Breastfeeding mamas who haven’t started solids, what is consistency like? Arden’s poop if I don’t change it immediately, can completely absorb into the diaper. If I change her as soon as she’s done there is stuff in the diaper, but 5 minutes after the fact and it absorbs in. But I don’t know that I’d consider it diarrhea. Anyone else? Still just trying to discern small baby from possible GI issues. Still a happy baby!

Good morning, I did not resist prime day, but the things I bought will be Christmas/birthday presents. I have to stay away to avoid buying anything else. Today is Littles 6 month appt, h stayed home today so it’ll be nice to have him there. L is already going places by rolling, I am not ready for a mobile baby. 😭

We aren’t super consistent with solids yet, which is prob why her poop varies. I’d say when she doesn’t eat solids, her poop is more liquidy like you described.

The cabinet I want is on sale in target. I am trying to decide if I want to pull the trigger on it.

I need to stop looking at my Amazon app. I did get the cutest teepee and accessories for DD1's new room though. I'm excited to get it. We also got her a Fire kids tablet that we are going to give her when we get on the plane for our trip in August. Other than that, I got the itunes gift card and some other stuff I needed to get anyway. At least this year I kept it under $200. And DH didn't participate so that saved us a ton this year.

We set our closing date for the construction loan for next tuesday. Also we got the appraisal back and it was for $7k less than the builder's estimate plus the land so we have to bring that much more to closing next week. That makes me nervous. The builder inflated some of the costs knowing we were making some floor plan changes but we really need to watch our spending on finishes so that we make sure we are at or under the number we got the loan for.

We had bad thunderstorms last night so I slept like crap. Plus we got my pillows as a gift and I hate mine. I’ve only gotten a tablet for DS1 from prime day to upgrade his original one that’s 3 years old. I’m going to check out target since we still have our registry completion code to use too.

I would keep in mind some things are easy to change out down the road (faucets, lighting, door pulls, etc.) so if you have to scale back do it in those areas first and then upgrade later down the line when you have more money available. It sucks that the appraisal is that much less. Would they lower the purchase price at all?

It sucks that the appraisal is that much less. Would they lower the purchase price at all? Potentially. We had him build in some extra money for allowances and in general knowing we would probably make some changes. So in the end we will most likely be under but since the loan closes before construction starts any amount under would come off the principal at the end and not back in our pocket.

I got my boys the deal for two 8s. They currently share my old ipad. I hope the Free Time thing ends up having worthwhile apps and books. Do you have experience with it? We are doing a 9 hour road trip in a month and will be surprising then with these when they get in the car.

I'm paying $6 a month for it currently so I'll be saving that all year while he has the free year with this new one. The biggest reason we got this one is that the original one he had doesn't have a ton of memory (it's the 7 I think) and doesn't have external storage. This now has the much more storage and can have a sim card added too so you can download a bunch to use when you don't have wifi.
