Hello, December is rolling by quickly! How is everyone?
D1 is getting another cold so I'm hoping the rest of us are spared, ugh.

We just had 11 days of one of us sick with a stomach bug. Today is the first day everyone is healthy. Finally.
I took the kids to an indoor playground because we needed to get out of the house. Fx we don't pick up some other bug from this place...
We have our first Christmas on Saturday so I need to finish shopping and get to wrapping.

kristyw, glad y’all are feeling better. I’m also scared to go back to public places like that. I don’t need to get sick again anytime soon.

We have one gift for A for Christmas. But he’s getting sooo many from other people so I’m just not too concerned with it yet. Next year when he understands a little more, it’ll be different.

kristyw, glad y'all are feeling better. I hate this time of year only because of all the sickness. I'm like you @easilyunamused, we essentially avoid all public play places for the most part because we deal with enough sickness with D1's germs and DNW more. I would also be in the 1 gift camp with M if we didn't have D1. I only bought her a few other things because I figured she would be questioning the Santa thing if M basically had nothing, LOL

I mean I’ve barely purchased N anything to think of this is for Xmas. We got him a vacuum bc he’s obsessed but gave it to him early bc he was going crazy over ours. And then a little thing to open on the day we celebrated Hanukkah and Xmas with my parents. I have a puzzle thing left so I figured I’d give it to him on Xmas but he doesn’t know or care about what day it is. Also I work both eve and day so ya really just another day to us. 🤷🏻♀️ |

I’m so sorry so many of you guys and your kids have been sick!
DD must be growth spurting bc she is eating a ton yesterday and today. She has had like 6 snacks today plus a full breakfast & lunch. When she’s not eating she’s running laps and climbing the furniture- so maybe she just needs the food to fuel her crazy.
DS has been telling me every morning how many days left until Christmas. I’m not ready! It can’t be in a week. This month went too fast.

addymac, exactly. I’ll save the stress of it for when he actually knows what’s going on. Lol And jt2378, I was thinking it’s definitely different with an older child at the house. They notice every thing like little hawks.

I am with all of you how did Xmas get here so fast? I wrapped a bunch of stuff today and realized there is too much for the kids and more is coming because my family and my in-laws had everything sent to us.
Plus my family is coming to town at all different times plus we are meeting up with friends in town. I am so not ready my house is a wreck... And we are all still sick!

Seems like we have a lot of sickness around. J had diarrhea saturday and sunday. Yesterday it was just really mushy. He seems to feel ok though.
Is it bad i ready for christmas to be over? My mom is stressing me out beyond belief. She just doesnt understand why we cant come to her house, open presents, then go to my brothers. They live 5 minutes apart. We are all going to my brothers. Why do we need to stop at their house too? We do presents qith everyone at my brothers. So im stressed. I just want christmas to go smoothly.

I felt like I was on top of Christmas, but now I feel like o have so much to do. I bought all the stuff to bake cookies, but I don’t really feel like it.
H text me that R napped from 8:30am to 12:05pm. And, he put her down for another nap.

Second nap was almost 2 hours - she woke around 4:50pm. Hopefully, she goes to bed tonight by 8 - usual bedtime is between 6-7pm.

I can’t even wrap my head around that much napping! Gosh I’m jealous. Apparently Noah wouldn’t go down for a nap until after 2. He should be a hot mess by the time I get home at 8.
Santa comes to our unit tomorrow! It’s going to be exhausting being so upbeat for all the families. I’m not an overly smiley person during my downtime so I already am tired just thinking about how much talking and smiling I’m going to have to do tomorrow. But it’ll be cute for our babies and their outfits, so that’s fun.

R fell asleep by 7:30pm. She’s got 9 days until the last leap, so I’m guessing she’s working on doing something new.

I'm shocked by the long naps too. Toddler H does 30 minutes twice at daycare and then 1.5 hours twice on weekends if we're lucky.
We're in stomach flu hell. Toddler H had it last Sunday, then ds1 Thursday, then me this Sunday, and I still feel like crap. Dh is the only one left standing, but I still feel like I'm doing so much cleaning and housework. I jump up in alarm every time someone coughs, thinking it's puking.

I would assume they were getting sick if they did 😂 Ugh I’m so sorry about the stomach bug, how awful. Hope you feel better soon. |

Oh thinkchocolate05 I’m so sorry about the bug. I hope everyone recovers quickly. GUYS. what do I get my nanny for Xmas? She doesn’t like sweets. She just remodeled her kitchen. She doesn’t drink much. She does drink tea and coffee. She doesn’t seem to have anything in common with her husband. She has a dog. I am going to make her a footprint thing from Noah and print some pictures of them but I want to give her a real gift that’s not just cash. She’s kind of like family. And I am the worst gift giver ever for family and friends lol. |

My kids are home until. Jan 3. No daycare or preschool, is it bad that is stressing me out? We are both off for winter break at least so childcare isn't an issue I just want to sleep...
Jat least will give us an hour to two napping but my 2 yearold rarely naps at home, so we never get down time.

I mean I had a mini panic moment when I realized next weekend I’m off for four days in a row and DH works all four of those days so it’s just going to be N and I.... sooooo I feel you. I don’t know why I didn’t ask my nanny to come for one day 😂😭 |
