Also, happy 1st birthday baby @idubhawksfan
Nothing special happening today. We won't really be celebrating E's birthday until Sunday. So, it's really just a regular Thursday. E did sleep a little better last night. He only had one wake-up but it was a long one. We hung out from 2:30-3:30. He was wide for a while but eventually fell asleep. And he didn't wake up until almost 5.

Typical Thursday for me. We do St Nick so DS1 was super excited for the presentsthis morning. I gave him Christmas PJs (match DS2), Crayola bath bombs, glow sticks and candy. Ds2 got Puffs and a toy cell phone. We also are doing an advent calendar for the first time this year, I bought a paw patrol toy one and he loves it. It was kinda expensive but the joy when he gets to open a door is worth it!

Happy Birthday baby sarahandben108 and baby ldubhawksfan! I hope everyone is doing well? Sorry I've been MIA. We ended up spending 4 nights in hospital for E's bronchiolitis then we were in Scotland for a long weekend at MILs (feel sorry for me people!) and stupid work has been so busy I've had no time to spend on the internet ::pouts:: We celebrated her first birthday on Sunday with our BFFs, some cake/quiches and bubbles and it was a great success EXCEPT that she's apparently scared of balloons... she seemed to get better as the day went on but she tried to run (crawl) away from them and climb in my arms for protection to start with. Apart from that, we're going for her 1 year vaccines this evening and we are firmly teething: she drools like a komodo dragon and we've had daily poop explosions for a week. Come out teeth, come out!

Happy Birthday baby sarahandben108 and ldubhawksfanI am still getting everything together for Bs birthday party Saturday. I think I just need to order pictures and pick up cupcakes though, so it’s all coming together. Also, he’s been down to one 45min wake up but last night he bonked his head and lost it crying at dinner which never happens then woke up from 2:30-4:30 so something is going on. When in doubt blame teeth.

Oh no Waffle I’m sorry about the hospitalization. I’m glad she’s better now though. I do feel sorry for you! *pats your hair* Happy birthday babies sarahandben108 and @idubhawksfan! We had an..okay... night. C did wake up definitely in pain at one point, and then had ripped off his bandages when I went in to get him this morning. DS1 also wet the bed and was really upset about it. Both boys were in good spirits this morning though. Just a normal work day here.

Happy Birthday Little sarahandben108 and ldubhawksfan ! I just finished a huge presentation on what I've been working on for the last six months. My brain is mush but it went really well. There's stuff I should be working on now but I can't think anymore. I just made myself a hair appointment for a VERY long overdue cut on the 20th. I am literally just now creating the facebook invite for N's birthday. Worst mom ever lol. (Bday is the 19th, party is the 22nd. We already know most people can't be there besides family.) Guess I should decide on a theme... (Snoopy is always the standard backup. I just feel like it's so expected, and wonder if there's something else we could do instead.)

A week shy of 14 months and ds2 is officially walking! He walked to the cat and to me so far. He has his priorities straight 😉
Work meeting went well today. The drive there sucked and they want to meet again next week but I'm going to try to video call in. (The office is an hour and 45 minutes from my house) I'm more excited about the project I'm working on for the organization and just hoping I can get it all done lol. It's a lot.
Ds2 will be starting daycare sometime in the late spring or early summer. It will be a good transition time because many of kids aren't there in the summer. Ds1 started mid summer and it worked out well. I'm hoping to be done nursing by then but ds2 did well for my mom re:napping so he will go down for other people without nursing ha ha.

This week has been... taxing at work. I am our department’s lab information system software “super user” (some of you may remember me dealing with the big upgrade during morning sickness hell), which basically means I work on small software issues as they come up, validate new tests, etc, but I am not a programmer so I mainly focus on keeping our module working appropriately enough.
Anyway, a new issue came up that I don’t personally have the expertise to fix (IT stuff is way outside my lab science wheelhouse), and I have been doing my regular day to day lab stuff on top of dealing with this. It is just mentally draining, on top of having a 5 am shift.
I’m so so ready for 1:30 pm tomorrow.
BUT one good thing- C appears to finally have gotten over her sleep regression after about a month. 🙌🙌🙌

Thanks ladies! I can’t believe he is 1 already!! 😭😭😭
Sorry I’m so absent and late responding. This week has been an emotional daycare rollercoaster. I think I’ve mentioned my nanny is moving in a few weeks which coincided with the waitlist opening at DD’s dc (I had been on since March). We were all set to start NYD. Then a few things were bugging me with staffing and a new director so I happened to call another local dc and low and behold, they somehow had a ps spot and an infant spot. The next day I talked to current director and was totally reassured with our current place which we love....but she spilled that she was really worried the old director messed up with transitions and that they may not have spots for 7 babies set to move up to toddler room at 18 mo just before DS. This freaked me out bc dnw to move him twice in 6 mo plus who knows how hard it would be to find a place then! Under 2 care is so hard here. So today by 5 I had to give notice to the new place. 4:30 current place confirmed they wouldn’t have a spot for ds come 6 months from now, so now we are starting both kids anew in January. Hiccup was them telling me the infant spot isn’t available until the 14th, so now I have a week and a half to figure out an interim for ds too. I’m a mess because I loved this place and losing our nanny, it’s all so new. I’m worried about how both kids are going to adjust. Overall the new Montessori place is fine and is even cheaper, but change is hard yo.
So that has been my Tues am to Thursday night update. Here’s your cookie for reading the novel

It was horrible. Especially the second night, the monitor was bugging and kept losing the heart rate. I have never moved as fast as I did when it beeped. Worst night ever.
