Thank you for your reassurance and advice the other day, I've been sitting with BabyWaffle quite a bit since, catching her when she wobbles and I think her balance is improving. She continues to face plant when she reaches for a toy, but less often I think. I guess the whole family could do with more core strength 🏋️♀️
What are you doing this weekend? We were out all day shopping yesterday so I am feeling lazy today. Also, the temperature has dropped a lot, it feels like fall already. It's making me feel like cosying in and staying in pjs. I was planning on a family nap after BabyWaffle's lunch but H has gone to get some groceries and we haven't had lunch yet so that's probably not happening 😴

Good morning! I’m having breakfast with the boys while DH works out. Then when he gets back, it’s my turn to go to the gym and pick up groceries. DH is going OOT to a friend’s to do their fantasy fb draft party so I’ll be solo with the boys most of the day today until tomorrow afternoon. I have to make cupcakes and Oreo cake pops at some point today too, will probably wait until the kids go to bed.

I'm here. Sorry, I don't have a lot of time and when a thread catches my attention, then turns out to be 46 pages, it takes my time to get through it. I should know better. grumpycat & quinn sorry to post the link in HM and run. Things have been a bit crazy with DS1 & DS3 in school. A has been letting go of the couch and standing for nearly a minute on his own, so fastest family crawler will, no doubt, be walking soon and I'm trying to not be in my feels about it. He is all about climbing things, but 8 can't get him to listen on how to get down, so much chasing of the baby and sending DS1 to grab him when he's here. Last Sunday, the guy behind us (a grandpa to a 1-1.5yo) was waving at him, he waved back, it happened a few times. I let him know he got the first waves and his wife whispered "honey, that is a big deal" and he got a huge smile on his face. It was sweet. When we left, he was telling his daughter "I got the first waves!". I'm just glad the exchange didn't make me cry. Next week I go to orientation for the pumpkin patch and get my schedule. I'm excited and nervous. H was laughing at me when we were talking about me having a "clock in job", which I haven't had since 1999/2000.

And A had his kidney scans, Thursday, and nothing changed, still dilated on the right and minimally on the left. So we will keep watching for signs of UTI and scan in another year or maybe it was at 1 year. His bellybutton had also been getting red and sometimes crusty/scabbed up, but that turned out to be nothing, so that was a HUGE relief.

Waffle, that is wonderful and I'm sure she loves it. Just remember some babies are also less motivated. If memory serves, a little girl in DS1 bmb didn't crawl or care to, until she was 1year. Playing on her tummy, playing/bouncing in a bouncer, propping her up in the middle or a boppy type pillow in front of a play table will all help too. Propping we up in your legs facing away is good too, put toys around for her to reach for. You are doing wonderfully.

My nephew has this. One kidney is almost double the size it should be. It fluctuates a bit but normally that’s what it is. He gets frequent bladder infections and kidney stones. Glad his scans are staying ok so far!

Morning. We did a family walk for bagels and donuts this morning. DD insisted on walking so it was a long one! Ha
I’m trying to get ds dorm for his first nap while Dh and dd build something. Then we have to decide what to do this weekend. Next weekend we will be gone the whole thing. The following weekend is a company bbq in SD again so we will at least be gone one day.

Happy party day jules1614! Hi clucky! Nice to see you 😊 We're hanging out, DD is just going down for her nap. She slept in until 7:10 😮 one wake up at 330 or so. I have been so tired in the evenings, falling asleep on the couch by 9. I keep thinking my period is coming back, but it hasn't yet 🤷 Today we're going to a wedding, and of course it's the first day it's rained in at least a month. Ok, maybe the second day, but still. I'm hoping it'll clear up by this afternoon. We have a neighbour babysitting for the ceremony since it's DD's nap time. We'll bring her to the reception and then I'll put her in her PJs, feed her and DH will take her home to bed. I'll stay since it's my friend and DH doesn't really like weddings anyway.

C bit me so hard while nursing this morning and drew blood. Now that nip is sore and I’m afraid to nurse- I will- but I’m afraid.

E and I ran our first race together today! It was good. It tied my time for fastest stroller 5k, and there was a huge hill, so I’m happy with that. she was awake the whole time, and early on, one of my running club friends saw her and said she was smiling.

Hi, all! This morning was nice. Both kids slept until after 7 which was amazing. We went to A's swim class, and then to the book store since I have been saying we could go. Then we picked up Which Wich for lunch; it is kind of our post swim class Saturday tradition now, haha. I picked up Bad Blood, I have been wanting to read it because I was sort of recruited by Theranos right before (like, 3 days before) I got into the internship program a few years ago. So glad I avoided that shitshow!
Anyway, C is napping now because her morning nap always gets messed up when she has to go to A's swim class. I just ate but also need to squeeze in my workout!

I’m not registered for any others that I’m planning to run with the stroller, but I’m considering doing a 5 miler on thanksgiving with her. It’s a similar course to today’s race.

Polysporin can be used to help heal if it is deep. Make sure latch stays deep, tongue out and lips flared. A's latch gets bad each time he gets a new tooth.

It's good that the monitoring is thorough. Seriously! This baby is ruthless. He’s always biting my arms and shoulders when I hold him, and he pinches my arms when I change his diaper 😭 then he just looks at me and smiles when I say “ow!” He’s a little sociopath 😜

He’s not nursing as long as usual these days so this morning he triggered a let down and then pulled off. I was trying to get him latched back on and that’s when he bit me.

N loves to pinch. He always pinches my boobs when he eats. It’s lovely.

Hi! I’ve been such a stranger, but I miss it here! I started back to work full time this week, which means the babies started school, too. It’s been crazy but good. I’ll try to be better about checking in!

Ugh. I have 2 sick babies which is exhausting. R has bronchiolitis and HK has a stomach bug. Trying to keep them separated so they don't cross contaminate is almost impossible and of course they both want mams.
I was on a business trip this week and shit like this ALWAYS happens when I'm gone. R is in daycare and recently it has been a different sickness each week. I just keep telling myself her immune system will be built up by the time shes 12-15 months (shes been in DC since 6 weeks, so you would think it would be better by now.)
Also, hi there! I suck at posting

I got a handful of new fall clothing pieces. Now I’m really anxious for it to cool off. It’s going to be mid to high 80s all week. Damn it! I bought a pair of the Pixie chinos from Old Navy in a mustard color. I’m kind of obsessed. I never used to be able to wear them because the thighs were too narrow so they never fit. They do now and I need all of the colors. I think I’m going to go back today and get the wine/maroon color.
My ILs are coming over today. Ugh.
