pootsen good luck!! cakewench you’re doing fine!! DD1 drank out of a bottle until she was 18 months old. She is just starting to eat vegetables of any kind and she’s 27 months old. DD2 is 13 months, still has a bedtime bottle and she still gets rocked to sleep. Give yourself some grace, they’re only this little for so long and these challenges will seem like nothing on the other side.

Thanks guys - this has been really helpful to hear. Hoping today will be better - N had both shoes when we left the house so it's already an improvement! (Tonight, I think, some pre-emptive Tylenol at bedtime. I wish it didn't take so long to kick in, but if I give it to him before his bottle it should take effect around when he's been waking up screaming. Apparently feeling teething pain worse at night is pretty typical, according to the interwebs.) Also my first week/10 days on Noom and I'm down 4 pounds. So there's that.

So, Emmett has pneumonia and a double ear infection. And N has an infection in his left lung and a single ear infection. So glad my H took them in today. So, abx and breathing treatments for us. Oh my gosh!! Poor things!! Sending your household healthy vibes!

Sorry for the mindfuck this am cnf. It's bad here too but not bad enough to close schools. Did you look at which town you might be considering moving to yet? Any districts you might apply to? You gotta let me know when you come here to look at houses and stuff and we can meet up! I'm so excited for summer!!! We're looking at mostly Victor/Farmington or Webster to avoid Monroe county taxes. I will work at any district that has an opening minus, God willing, the city district. I taught there in 2010 and I would die if I had to go back. So if you see any health teacher opening in the area let me know, lol.

My kid ate 4 chicken nuggets, a handful of green beans, and one clementine for dinner last night. Oink oink, kid. That's about average for him, too. He is small but kid eats as much as my 3 year old. I think every kid is different and that's ok. They won't willingly starve themselves. You're doing a great job cakewench. Just keep pushing forward, he'll get there. He may be ready to move away from the purees at this point. You could always try mushing up some fruit and putting it on his waffle like jelly. Just try small switches to what he already likes and you might be surprised! C eats so much more than E and she's only 9th percentile. Little pigger

Oh, and I totally nurse N to sleep every night. No shame in my game. He'll eventually put himself to sleep. No one ever went to college needing mom to help them to sleep I still nurse C to sleep. On the few occasions I've tried to get her to snuggle down to sleep she's sat on my lap, made the most aggressive eye contact, and pulls at my shirt while screaming. So dropping that last session might be a while. We did not drop E's bedtime bottle until close to 18m.

cakewench I've been giving ds2 Tylenol before bed and when he wakes up if it's been long enough. No shame in my Tylenol game. The kid had a terrible night last night. These teeth need to pop out like yesterday. I seriously don't remember ds1 struggling this much with teething but my MIL pointed out that he was so much more sensitive to everything that teething was a blip on the radar. ds2 is much calmer so it seems worse. 😫

How do men function on a daily basis?! For example: I’ve been out of shampoo since Monday. Since I was at work I made due with the kids shampoo (my hair was up anyways). Repeatedly said over the week I need shampoo. DH just went to the grocery for coffee and said to text him what I want. I took a picture of the conditioner bottle so he’s at least know what he was looking for. And what does he bring home? conditioner!!! “Why didn’t you take a picture of the shampoo bottle?!?” Because I don’t have any and today was garbage/recycling day! 🤦♀️

Ugh. My oldest is coming down with a cold. He literally just had the worlds worst cold the week before Christmas. He missed a whole week of school. I can’t handle this again. Plus we leave for Mexico in 11 days. 😩😩 if my kid(s) is sick for our trip, I’m going to freak out. And when he get sick, he is down and out cold for a week straight. It’s awful. I’m going to buy him all the smoothies possible next week and all the vitamin C and vitamins he needs. I can’t do this again.

You'll still be about 20-30mins out from me but at least close enough to hang! I'll keep an ear out for sure

I'm sure if anyone is sick, the vitamin D and sea air will cure it immediately

Had a great anniversary night yesterday. 1hr couples massage, smash room, then dinner and drinks. Should've done the couples massage last though lol
Ds3 has been screaming at me over the color of his cup for the last 30mins. So that's a good indication of how the day is going to go

Thanks for the well wishes. We had to get up every 4 hours last night to give E breathing treatments. He went back to the doctor yesterday and was officially put on a nebulizer. So, both my boys have them now. N is done with breathing treatments and will be on the antibiotic for another 6 days. E needs breathing treatments all day every 4 hours. Then we space it to 6 hours. He will be on the antibiotic for 6 days as well. Both boys woke up feeling a lot better so we are on the upswing I think.

I'm glad they're starting to feel better though 😊 Awesome quinn, sounds like a good anniversary! Our tenth is coming up in May. I think I'll see if we can find someone to take DD overnight so we can get away.

I’m at work. It is actually very busy for a Saturday, but it is keeping me busy at least.
I just set up Dd1’s first sleepover! It is actually a friend I met on my other BMB and we now hang out quite a bit (well not for the last few months because life is overwhelming); the girls’ bdays are 3 days apart.
DD1 is going to be ecstatic!

Weekend is pretty nice so far. We had a low key baby shower for a guy friend of ours at a bar and it was a good time! He's no longer with the mother and the baby came early but is doing well! He's going to be living with us once his current lease is up. I'm excited to have a new baby to snuggle ☺️
