Our garage door broke on Saturday night which meant my car was trapped in there all weekend. Luckily H’s car was parked in the driveway so I was able to drive that to work and avoid the “emergency pricing” for getting the door fixed. H is home with the kids today and said the repair man came at 9 and was done before 10🙌🏻

To add to everything H has a man cold and now I have a mum cold. So of course the baby isn’t napping. H slept like a log last night dosed up on night time cold drugs and I got to take Tylenol and then be up with the baby for two hours.

Good luck alwayscheese! Glad you’ll be under anesthesia. I had mine out a few years ago and had terrible dental insurance so they did it while I was awake and it was... not fun.

C has her preschool Halloween party and she was SO excited to wear her costume! O is going to hang out in the Tula and “help” pass our candy to the class at the end of the party. I’m not sure if C is more excited about the party or for her friends to meet her baby brother😂

But she grew 2 inches in the last week and a half and it’s a no. I’m loading up kids and driving the 40 min to the nearest city for emergency costume 😭

DH is going to my brother's for the weekend to go hunting. IDK what to do with the kids for the weekend. I'm kind of tempted to go with him? The kids and I can stay at my parents and I'd have a more enjoyable weekend I think being there than I would being home alone with the kids.
But the drive is 5 hours and IDK how interested I am in that. Or having to pack up all our crap.
Especially since Thanksgiving is a few weeks away and we will be doing it then.

alwayscheese,good luck on Friday! I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled about 10 years ago. For me the pain was way less than what I thought it would be. Also, yum to homemade applesauce! I made some Sunday afternoon. L is crawling all over the place and has pulled himself to standing by the table at least one time. I keep on telling DH we need to go buy some gates, since the one we had for DS1 was cheap and annoying. Yesterday, while I was getting dinner ready, I turned my back on L for a minute or two. When I turned around to check where he was he had crawled over to the top of the staircase. I ran, but he fell before I got there. Thankfully it is a small staircase and he is fine, but we really need to get a couple gates.

Is anyone super active in BST groups for baby gear? I am going through my stuff and wondering what to do with our car seats. I'm about to switch Lou to a convertible because she is too heavy, but our bucket seat is a really nice Chicco KeyFit zip that barely got used, plus an extra base. Do people buy carseats used? I never would because I would be too nervous about it being compromised before I had it, but I would have accepted one used from a friend I trusted. I don't have anyone to give it to though.

Wait for a trade in event at Target! You can get a coupon for a percentage off of another baby item. Most people don’t have any luck selling car seat because of the safety risk.

While I would not buy one used, I’d sure as hell sell one. Search for the model on your local FB marketplace and undercut the lowest price by 5-10%. It’ll sell. And if it doesn’t, you can use it at a trade in event! I have found that Black Friday on Amazon is the best time to buy a car seat though - and I need three of them last go around 😂💸

I wouldn’t buy one but I sold my old one. I also knew it was in good shape and barely used so I felt fine doing that.

leatherpants, Leaf 🌱, that makes me feel better. I've loved the trade in sales for expired seats, but it just seems so wasteful to destroy a brand new seat with nearly 4 years of use left on it. If someone is comfortable trusting me that the seat is not damaged, I'd much prefer for it to go to good use.

Ugh the baby is getting sick. I thought it was just his tooth but his fever won’t go away and he’s not himself. And SO is working so I have to take him out ToT with the big one.
Luckily they are both having naps now so fingers crossed we can make this work

Im really enjoying the Halloween names here 😂😂😂 Unrelated: I have officially confirmed that I can’t work out hard/cut foods and still nurse. I pumped next to nothing today and DD2 has been draining bottles like crazy. You can literally see that the fat content of milk I’ve pumped over the last week is low. I stuffed my face tonight to hopefully make up for it and I’m buying a new water bottle to make sure I keep better hydrated.... and am postponing my move to an unlimited OTF membership 😭

I found the same thing Leaf 🌱. My supply is so much more finicky this time around. It’s no excuse to eat as much candy as I have though...

Hiiii. Can I still play here? It has been THE craziest few weeks of packing and moving. We've been in the new place for a week-ish and it's already starting to feel like home. I'm absolutely loving DS2 having his own room.
Anyone go trick-or-treating and dress up their littles this week?
