N seems to be doing better - I talked to the pedi this morning (they have a call-in hour every morning, it's a godsend) and she agreed it's probably a combo of him teething and congestion. We are clear to reintroduce solids slowly if he's interested - so looks like N will get to try some Thanksgiving dinner after all! (The blandest parts probably tho  ) He's at DC now, and H is at work, and I'm off - so I am blissfully alone. I have done zero shopping for Thursday besides the turkey, so about to go do that. Then I need to start cleaning... |

Snow day number 2. Before Thanksgiving. I see extended days in my future. The only plus is that I sent the boys to daycare and I’m doing some precooking for E’s birthday that I’ll freeze to save me some work.

Morning! H got a deer last night and will be home today- finally! I'm not sure how I'll spend my night off, maybe in the tub with some wine 😁

Took ds3 and AJ to storytime at the library. H is out of town for work and wont be home until dinner. I still have to shop for food for Thanksgiving and regular groceries so the sitter's coming here to watch the boys after their naps so I can get it done and over with. Not looking forward to the crowd

Ugh, I don't want to be here today. I remember a time when birthdays used to feel special. Now it's just another day at work and I'm older. Booooo. I can't wait to get out of here and go to Benihana for dinner tonight!
Paris' weight check yesterday wasn't great. Only gained 10oz in two months. Still under 2nd percentile for weight. The printout they gave me rounds up to 2% but the curve shows a tiny dip. I seriously don't know what else to do. The nutritionist said to switch avocados to dinner so she has longer to digest it and to add butter to everything. I've done both. She eats well. Gets 24+oz of breastmilk per day. She hits all milestones. Is walking on her own. Sleeps all night. Happy baby. Regular wet and dirty diapers. I don't get it. I'm just waiting to hear what the nutritionist says.
I'm gonna go to Home Goods for lunch today. That should cheer me up.

As for the weight I know it's hard not to worry and obviously follow the nutritionist's recommendations but meeting milestones is a huge indicator of how she is thriving. I have a few friends who's kids are not on the growth charts at all, but they are all meeting or exceeding milestones and it's just a koko situation for them. Someone has to make up the bottom of the chart you know? |

Happy Birthday, belle0720!!! I’m sorry about the weight gain issues, but I agree with jules1614 - if she’s happy and hitting milestones, that’s good. Keep on with the nutritionist - it sounds like you are doing everything you should be  |

Happy birthday belle0720! Enjoy Benihana, take your leftovers for Paris, hehehe. Nothing much to report here. Work is busy, hiring for two positions, doing a few single day travel days to our other branches, etc. Swimming last night was fun, DD can kick on command now, although that doesn't really do much in the water at her age! |

jules1614 Thank you! I try and tell myself that I shouldn't worry, but I feel like I'm failing her. And then I've started wondering if maybe there's something wrong with her that's causing the struggle and that scares me. Hopefully I hear from the nutritionist this week. blabbermouth LOL The girls are coming too so she will definitely be eating some fried rice and salmon with me! Hopefully the Teppanyaki doesn't scare the babies.

He meets all of his other milestones, he’s just tiny. Of course I worry about it and ask about it at every single appointment, but my pedi just shows me that he’s still following his curve and reassures me. Hugs for you. I’m sure she’ll turn out just fine. |

ETA: Happy birthday! I’m super emotional today. DD2 turns one tomorrow. It will be the first time in 2+ years there hasn’t been a baby in the house. And not knowing if we’ll have another. I just want to hold her all night. 😭 |

I'm in the tub with a glass of apothic dark. My mistake was bringing just a glass, should have brought the bottle 😂
Also I threw in a blue bath bomb and I'm slightly concerned I'll get out and look like this 🧞

And I'm being totally petty but I can hear ds1 giving H a hard time with bedtime and I'm just sitting here smiling.

Almost four hours into our drive to the in laws. Ds1 FINALLY stopped talking and I keep hearing him yawn. Ds2 fell asleep, woke up, chilled, and I think is back asleep. I know dh is going to want to stop soon (as soon as both kids are actually asleep I'm sure).

As an aside, the best clean up product for stomach bugs is one that has hydrogen peroxide in it. Lysol makes one that you can buy at target or Amazon has hospital grade (but obviously you can't wait for shipping). Always test it on fabric first but I didn't have any issues with it causing spots on my couch when we had it a few months back. |
