Hope everyone had a nice weekend! We got back home last night after 4 days split between both of our parents and I was so ready to be home. L did surprisingly well sleeping at both places, but now has a cold (?) and a really nasty cough. Of course I googled and see that a wet cough could mean RSV or pneumonia. Fx it’s not either of those things. He has a runny nose but no fever so 🤷🏼♀️.
Did anyone get any good Black Friday or cyber Monday deals? I ordered stockings for us, a nixplay frame for my parents, a few other gifts, and then H and I got new phones. I’m so excited for more space and a better camera.

clementine Glad L slept well, and fingers crossed is not anything bad. J had croup and a wet cough for a couple weeks after with runny nose that’s finally feeling better. ETA: I got a few things at minimal discount. The only real deal I got was a $50 Roku for my niece who is getting a TV for Christmas (she turns 14 on 12/23, so this is her joint B-Day/Christmas gift)

My dog has a stocking but my baby doesn’t. 😂 I didn’t realize until we decorated yesterday. Poor kid.

We had a great holiday, hope everyone else enjoyed their Thanksgivings. We did learn during our 5 day visit to my parents' that L hates the Pack n Play. Lol. So she spent every nap in arms and every night sandwiched between H and I. The naps were NBD but we need to figure something out for travel sleeping. I very much enjoyed my night of sleep last night in my own bed, with L in her crib.

Y’all. I am balding. My hair at the front is so thin. Time to get back on those prenatals I guess 😩 Any suggestions? I’m at a level 10 over this and am not ok. Do you think nursing is making it worse?

I’d get a mini mattress or pad of some kind and bring the sheet on her crib with you so it smells and feels like her real bed.

I'm getting a cold and I'm praying that I can keep my kids from getting it too... lol.
I had a lovely weekend of Christmas cookie baking with my mom, and my husband put the Christmas lights on the house this morning!
I was so tempted to buy stuff on Black Friday but I find online shopping overwhelming and I didn't want to brave going out. I got an early Black Friday deal on a Nespresso machine and it came last week, so I've been enjoying that. I couldn't think of anything else we needed.

We had a pretty nice Thanksgiving. Went to DH’s cousins house...they live about 45 minutes away so the drive wasn’t too bad. I think the best deal we got was a new blu ray player for us. I think we spent $100 on it. I do have almost everyone done now, expect for my sister and bil. But, I’m not sure what to get them. I ordered J’s stocking, but I’m not sure when it’s going to get here.

I have been MIA because all my screen time in the last week has been black Friday/Cyber Monday shopping. I will be back when I am done. My Amazon cart is still full off $$ stuff that I'm waiting on sales for.

We had a good Thanksgiving. It was just my parents, my sister’s family and us. It was a snow day for the schools here so I got the an extra day off today. It is nice, but it also means I am not getting work done that needs to be done for work. DS1 and I did some Christmas decorating during DS2s 3 hour nap this morning.
I got a few good deals on some clothes for the boys. DS1s bday is Wednesday, so I need to figure what to give him for his birthday and what to keep and give him for Christmas. I have a few things I am keeping my eye on for good deals.

Do you think nursing is making it worse? I know how you feel. Every time I shower a huge clump comes out and I am just constantly losing hair otherwise. I am living in a pony tail to try and control it. Luckily I have thickisg hair so it isn't looking too thin. I never stopped taking prenatals so I don't even know if they help. From what I read it can last for up to a year .

I’m glad you all had nice Thanksgivings. And this year we can talk Christmas with all the booze. Woo.
My basement is so close to being finished. Sooo. Close.
Close enough that I already put up the tree down here. FINALLY.
And we are making one room - with mirrored closet doors - the workout room and let me tell you - that is motivating AF. I just did a workout in there and omg. I’m regretting the year plus of pregnant/nursing eating.

I guess I deleted my post.
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. And if not I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing week.
I need to put my phone away and quit obsessing but here is what I bought:
a gorgeous cakeplate for my sister plus a couple baby outfits to get free shipping Two Pioneer Woman Cookbooks for $8 for gifts Carpet shampooer CD slot fast phone charger for the car for DH for Christmas Fleece sleepers for DS 3 Echo Dots Faux fur earmuffs Cheesecake factory gift card with two bonus cheesecake slices Scarf and glove sets from NY&C for my my sister and I 3 craft book kits and a sticker book from B&N Winter boots for myself $35 at Target on the bogo 60% off sale for clothes for DS and a couple food pouches to see if he can eat them by himself.
I should check PayPal and see if there's anything else.
I still have over $100 in my Amazon cart of gifts I was hoping would go on sale.

Being sick really screwed what little sleep the baby was getting. Now we are getting none.
I’m never having another baby. Ugh. 😂

i bought most of my gifts over the weekend. along with a lot of clothes for myself. i purged so much of my regular wardrobe while i was pregnant and am really regretting it. my hormones really messed with my judgment and i pretty much dislike everything i kept so now i’m trying to fill in a lot of holes. we also booked a trip in march with the girls and my mom and aunt. i’m hoping it will feel like a vacation.

This kid ate two cheese sticks,a banana, and half a piece of toast for breakfast. His stomach cannot possible be that big. I mean I don't eat much now than that in one sitting.

I’ve decided to have DH and my mom give DD2 formula when they go out. It’ll be SO MUCH easier than them trying to bring out breast milk. ...can some one tell me what to buy? DD1 never had formula and honestly I don’t know where to start.

clementine, I hope L feels better. N had a similar bug the past two weeks and it FINALLY went away. Just try not to let him get dehydrated if he's not eating as much. I'm in a grumpy, hating everything, kind of mood. And my parents are eating dinner every night while they're kitchen gets redone and that is not helping my mood.

Leaf 🌱 my kids have tried every brand of formula and they're all great. N is on enfamil stage 2 now. I suggest the ready to feed kind, whatever brand you choose, because it's easiest to prepare (just pour and feed) and also easiest to digest (in my experience).

Sounds like a successful shopping weekend alwayscheese! Your post on GD has me researching all sorts of smart things. We have an echo and hue lights in our living room, which I love. I kind of want to replace our kitchen and other living room bulbs with the hue lights, but $$$.

He’s nursing okay, not great, but he can hardly breathe through his nose so it’s like suck suck suck, pop off to breathe, on repeat. Add in the coughing every couple of swallows and he gets frustrated so quickly and gives up.

Do you think nursing is making it worse? Mine is only just winding down. I am taking a hair and nails vitamin with collagen which I think is helping. A shorter hair cut has helped make it look and feel better. Stupid PP hormones.

Lord help me if she changes her mind, the baby is not sleeping well at all in the same room as us and the toddler is struggling too. If we get this house I will at least have an end date in sight.
