I really hope DS teeth come in ASAP. He’s been doing much better on the sleeping front, but when he wakes up at 5 am his teeth are bothering and it’s 50/50 on getting him to go back to sleep.
Also I am officially ready for fall. I’m waiting to update my fall wardrobe until I’m not breastfeeding/pumping as much and don’t need to plan all my outfits around boob access!

+2. Are you doing the party outside? Yep. It’ll be outside. That’s the reason for wanting to do it earlier in the month. Obviously, we can’t predict the weather, but those 2-3 weeks could mean the difference between a 70 degree day or a 50 degree day.

My H and I are still debating on a date for E’s bday party. 10/7–Columbus weekend, 3+ weeks before her bday, likely warmer weather and comfortable to be outside 10/13–still likely ok temps, but the day before my half marathon 10/20–10 days before her bday, taking our chances with the weather getting cooler We need to make a decision sooner rather than later to get invitations out! Personally, I’d do 10/20 because no one will want to plan and have a party before a half marathon. Also, 10/7 seems too far away from the actual date. But that’s just me. Completely agree with sarahandben108, I'd even try to have it later/closer to the actual date if possible.

Her bday is 10/30, so if I wait until the weekend prior, we’ll be competing with Halloween activities going on, and it may be too chilly to have the party outside.

bethkate the weather is such a crapshoot in October that I wouldn’t assume earlier = warmer. I’d just go with 10/20 and hope for the best. We had my sons first birthday outside in mid April and it was like 50F. It was chilly but fine. But now I plan indoor parties always.

I will just be over here crying about the fact that it may be 100 degrees on 10/20 this year, if this year follows the last couple.
The weather this weekend has been nice and cool, though. So that's nice.

Happy Labor Day, all! I'm at work. LOL. I got a text from one of the docs about a stat that needed to be done. We rotate being on call for holidays, and there is like a 1% chance of being called in. And the last time someone was called in? Me, 2 years ago on a day I wasn't even supposed to be on call. I am just that lucky.
It's fine, though. I get 25% of my pay for being on call, plus time and a half for the hours I'm here. So I will take that. Plus, I only live 15 minutes away so it isn't a huge inconvenience.

We had my sons first birthday outside in mid April and it was like 50F. It was chilly but fine. But now I plan indoor parties always. Yeah, it’s a total crapshoot. We’ve got 60 people on our invite list, and our house just isn’t big enough to host even the 40 or so that’ll probably show up. I looked into some halls and stuff, but the cost was either stupid high, or there were a ton of restrictions (required cash bar, only certain caterers, etc), so outside it is!

We decided to head to the zoo today. The weather is crappy so it wasn’t crowded at all. It started to rain right as we were done so it worked out perfectly. Hoping to get the kids down for a nap and then we are having friends over. Since it’s raining we’re just going to order pizza instead of grilling but it should still be fun! I also have a fantasy football draft tonight, I almost won last year with very limited knowledge of any player not on the packers 😂

I emailed out the invites for ds2's birthday party earlier. 😭 I'm going with a nightmare before Christmas theme because it's my favorite movie and it fits. It's also the 25 year anniversary of the movie so there's a lot of decor out for purchase! Dh isn't going to be thrilled but whatever. I leave it up until after Christmas because it's a Halloween and Christmas movie in my opinion lol.

Hey- I'm breaking my social medaia ban. Lol. I'm tired. Stressed and need had pats. N hit his head yesterday and got 7 stitches. Needless to say, I've been a wreck ever since. And it was a total accident. He was on DH's shoulders and then he turned and didn't realize this overhang was so low and he cut it on a piece of raw metal that was razor sharp. So ya- that really sucked. N is totally fine. Mommy guilt is real. Daddy guilt is even worse. He's acting totally normal today. Save over-active, adventurous boy. But boy oh boy watching him while we tried to find first aid and then holding him down for stitches, sure sucked.

cdnfarmgirl oh man. That sucks and poor N. I’m glad he’s ok. It totally sucks when they get hurt and when we play a role in it. Last summer N fell in our fire pit when camping. It had been out for a few hours but there were still hot enough coals in it that N burnt his hands. The guilt my H and I had still gets us today. Like we should’ve been farther away or I should’ve caught him. Of course I was pregnant with E so when N cried, I cried too. It happens to us all. Hopefully you are not beating yourself (or your H) up too much. Hugs.

cdnfarmgirl poor peanut. Glad he's ok. We're attempting night one of the girls sharing a room. Nap time was a complete write off this afternoon. Good luck to everyone who has school-aged kiddos going back tomorrow. DS doesnt start until Friday so I just have to survive the week. My friend actually showed this morning. She's surprisingly chill about the whole thing.
