It’s not even 9:30 and I tossed N in his crib for a nap. He’s a disaster and I was tired of his whining. He cried for 10 minutes but now is sleeping. Thank goodness.
Kids are going to my aunts this afternoon. DH and I have a funeral to go to. DH’s good (older) friend passed away last week. DH is a pallbearer. It’s going to be tight for time though between the funeral/after funeral and getting home to get DS1 off the bus. I may need to leave early. My aunt says she can meet him off the bus if we really need but that’s a 20 minute drive and then I have to switch car seats etc. So I don’t know. I’ll see.

Morning. I got up and showered then went back to bed for half an hour 😂 making the most of the end of my mat leave. DD
Sorry for your loss @cfnfarmgirl.

Sorry for your loss cdnfarmgirl, Nothing special here. E had an ok night but he woke up in the silliest mood. It was so cute this morning. Jealousy has really reared it's ugly head with N lately. I think it's because E is starting to do so much more stuff and is more active. But it's making N be super naughty and it's driving us nuts. |

Hello from the pump! One more month of this 🙌🏻
Ds2 woke up with a cold, he’s very stuffy. Nose frida to the rescue!
We have our last soccer game tonight (I thought last week was the last-oops). I am not looking forward to it: it’s supposed to rain and they only cancel if there is lightning.
The kids did great last night at the restaurant, I was disappointed with my meal but it was still fun to get out for a bit and I hope my H will be more willing to go out.

Good morning! C was up early this morning but he was extra cute and sweet so I guess it’s okay. I’m going to yoga tonight and then to the store to buy supplies for C’s birthday party. I had a minor freak out last night when I realized his party is only 1.5 weeks away and I haven’t done anything for it yet 😬 I’m definitely going low-key next year.

Dh goes back to work tomorrow! I'm excited to have the house back to myself, though it is nice to run out while ds2 is napping. I'm getting him down for a nap now then am running to the grocery store (well, showering first).
I updated in yesterday's thread but drop off went better this morning with ds1. I'm not holding my breath for pick up, but we shall see. On our way there, ds1 was like "mommy! You forgot ds2!" It was funny. I'm hoping for a better day for him. I reached out to another daycare/preschool nearby that has a "preschool transition" program and junior kindergarten. Preschool doesn't start until the 4 year old class at our current place but he needs it now. He was definitely doing preschool type activities over the summer and in his previous class.

I'm just going to pop in here and pretend like I haven't been gone from randoms for about forever. Tonight is trick or treat in our city. I am looking forward to taking the boys out. I think DS1 will really enjoy it this year. He has been practicing his procedures for a couple of days now. Hopefully he doesn't clam up at go time.  My H argued with me this morning about putting N in the PBK skunk costume tonight. He has an owl costume that he wore for daycare and a ToT thing last weekend. H likes the owl. I tried delicately explaining that I spent $$ on the skunk when DS1 was little and I am getting my money's worth. He will not win this argument. Plus, the skunk costume is adorable! I guess I am down to one pump now. I skipped my afternoon pump yesterday and didn't have any pain or discomfort so I am just going to roll with it. N is only taking 1 5oz bottle at daycare now and I can get that from my Noon pump. He's still nursing in the morning and a couple of times in the evening, plus that damn overnight wake up most nights. I'll probably just switch him over to Ripple completely at daycare after he turns 1 on the 10th and stop pumping after that. I am so ready to be done pumping. |

My kingdom for the dudes in my house to stop coughing. N keeps coughing himself awake and I am worried we are setting bad precedent because the more he cries after coughing, the more worked up he gets, which just makes him cough more, so we go in and soothe him back to sleep. We got a humidifier so hopefully that will help. I decided to drop to two pumps/day. I wasn't getting as much from the midday pump and even after a few weeks of doing 3 not 4, it was a pain in the ass. I'm already not making enough to cover his daycare bottles, so might as well make life slightly easier on myself. I'll keep this up for about a month, then drop to one... limping to the 1 year mark but I may actually make it, unless my supply really tanks next TOM. N had a good follow-up yesterday (his pedi wanted to see him to make sure his ears cleared up after the ear infection), and took the second half of his flu shot no problem. According to H he was super flirty with all of the nurses. (N, not H lol.) I'm so sorry for your loss, cdnfarmgirl. Looking forward to Halloween tomorrow - we won't really ToT with N, but we will dress him up and bring him around to the neighbors to say hi. |

I’m late, but go Sox! Today is E’s birthday. How is that possible??? We had a regular day, but her daycare teachers gave her gifts which was really sweet. We gave her a cupcake after dinner tonight, but she wasn’t nearly as interested as she was with the cake at her party. Work is crazy, and with Halloween tomorrow, it’s not going to settle down. I need the weekend already. |

I'm sorry for YH's loss cdnfarmgirl. roloma we had ToT tonight too, people always find it so odd when I tell them but my town does a really big Halloween parade on Halloween night. Hi everyone, H was cranky tonight so we didn't even try to dress him up. Fortunately we get a second chance tomorrow. Talk to me about transitioning off bottles? I told MH I think we should give H his midday bottle in a sippy to start the transition and MH said I was pushing it. What has worked for everyone else? (Note, he does get a sippy of water with meals so he can use one) |

Thanks everyone. It was a rough Funeral for Dh. The whole thing just took everyone by surprise. He went to the doctor beginning of October because his COPD was causing breathing problems. Did some bloodwork, they discovered he had leukaemia and he passed away last week.
So just a total shock to everyone. And my husband is just at a loss. Thankfully he had time to visit him a few times before he passed.

Hi, all. Today was insane at work, and I'm so tired. Having my mom here has been so nice, though.
I hope everyone had a good day. But how is it only Tuesday?

Tried to let ds2 just whine it out when he woke up. But I want to go back to sleep so I gave in after 20 ish minutes. And my boobs need the relief. He was a butt and didn't nurse well before I put him down at bedtime. 🤷 Sigh.

It's Wednesday BARELY, thank you crèche... BabyWaffles has been waking up an hour earlier than normal since she's gone back to crèche.
I'm going to have a word with them this morning as she was in a really set routine and there's no way we can keep her on this schedule. She is getting hungry for dinner at 5 and I don't pick her up until 5.30!
