Oh yeah. J puts everything in his mouth. If there is a speck on the floor he puts it in. We don't have any baby gates u9 yet but I'm exhausted chasing him around so im thinking we might need some. He isn't even walking yet.
I'm trying to work on his birthday party. I don't want to spend too much but I want it to be nice. I'm also trying to find a baptism outfit for him. That's proving a little more difficult.
Anyone else exhausted at the end of the day? I love how much of a personality j has and how fun he is but I'm freaking beat by the time he goes to bed.

Happy birthday to J too! Hey sorry I disappeared, work and traveling took over. I am heading out of town for 2 weeks today. The kids are currently running around my husband's office which is an archaeology lab so not so good... Baby is a girl and all tests are low risk. We still haven't told people even though I am 16 weeks. Denial is strong...

Denial would be strong here too 😂 hope you have a relatively easy trip away.

Thanks for the thoughts and giving me something to think about all! The interview went well I think. However they had a lot of applicants and are interviewing all of next week as well. So it may be a little while before I hear more about whether I made it to the next round. While i am really quite anxious about all the changes and what ifs it also makes me really enthusiastic so ... I am going to not think about it till I hear more and go from there. If I was to get the job it seems the startdate likely will be October so that made me feel better as well. The job does entail going back to school as well part time but that wont start till March 2019 and will be just one day/week for a year. The pay is great, the amount of hours just what I had hopes for, it is close to home (less then 10 min by bike) and daycare is on the way there... too perfect to be true really. So I try not to get my hopes up and take it one step at a time lol. But I want the bloody job!! Haha. I really loved being home with D. this past year but am not sure I am cut out to be a SAHM full time?

muscari I'm sure I've said it before but I really struggled going back to work due to ppa. The first week was awful. The next few were ok. After 3 weeks or so I was really glad to be at work. It helps my ppa to not be at home all day every day with j. I was so anxious I wasn't doing things right, or he wasn't hitting milestones. Or I want doing enough at home. Going back to work really helped. While it still flares up I'm on a very small dose of my meds and I've been at home with j all day every day for the last 6 weeks and it's been great. I think I needed that time back at work to get over some of my anxiety.

Hugs for all who need them. I am too much of a melted mess to properly respond sorry! We are closing in to 100F and oh my gosh i just need a pool of ice!! Poor D. is having it rough as well. I must have had a heatstroke lol as i applied for a job on Monday (mind you I am still on temp disability cause of the PPD and crap) .. got invited to an interview today at 6pm. 😳😳 It is a similar position I had before though at the cardiology dept instead of neurology. And for 24h a week, so should be easyish to combine with D. However I dont even have the job yet and am already anxious freaked out mess on how on earth I am going to do the whole work thing on top of everything while i just barely succeed on doing the sahm thing without falling apart. Meh. Maybe it is to soon but the job is just perfect for me and mostly those positions are full time which i dont really want no more, and at the hospital just 15m away from home by bike too..... so i just had to give it a shot. Aaaaargh I was getting super anxiety in December and the thing that got me straight was going back to work part-time. Maybe it will be a good surprise for you? Hugs

Congrats on a healthy girl yellowcat ! Creative announcement planning next ? How did you announce your other kids ? I sort of just told people as I saw them. I have been at my dad's for 12 hours now and haven't said a word so I am obviously having some issues. This poor kid I am going to have to buy her a pony or so to make up for my weirdness.

Oh yeah. J puts everything in his mouth. If there is a speck on the floor he puts it in. We don't have any baby gates u9 yet but I'm exhausted chasing him around so im thinking we might need some. He isn't even walking yet. I'm trying to work on his birthday party. I don't want to spend too much but I want it to be nice. I'm also trying to find a baptism outfit for him. That's proving a little more difficult. Anyone else exhausted at the end of the day? I love how much of a personality j has and how fun he is but I'm freaking beat by the time he goes to bed. Beyond exhausted. Donovan also puts everything he can find in his mouth so it's even more tiring (and futile probably) trying to keep immaculate floors.

I unintentionally got redirected to TCF and it’s nothing but bots, it’s weird. Looking at our BMB there. There used to be so many of us ! And looking back at all the nervousness we all had at the beginning. Can’t believe how long and short it feels. The way TCF went down still makes me mad and sad. I love our little corner here on HIH but still miss a lot of ladies from TCF. The whole AL community pretty much fell apart, too, I know a group is now active on FB but I just can't keep up with FB somehow. And yeah we did loose quite a number of ladies on A17 as well... and then some more over the past year. We should do another shout out to the missing ladies and do a "one year" update on both babies and mamas!?

Not that I don't love the 10 or so of us that are still here...I couldn't have made it through the past year without you ladies

I had to go back and look at TCF. I didn’t remember that there were that many people. I wonder if we would have moved to Facebook, if we would have kept more.
I pushed out of my comfort zone and text a mom from T’s preschool class about a play date. So, T had a play date at a park today - H took her. I met up with them when R woke up from her nap.

I went back and looked at TCF and most of us that posted there posted here somewhat and most of us still check in at some point. I only noticed 2 or 3 people who never ever come to these boards.

Do you guys post on the private board mostly or the public? Or a combo of the two? My first bmb has it's own proboard and the moms of multiples is on facebook, so it's a bit tough to go through different boards and sites. I would chime in if I could get tagged every now and then just as a reminder. If it's not too much trouble!
