Anyone else feel free to tag anyone I have forgotten here. Thanks 😊

Hi you guys! Last year ended up being pretty difficult so I wasn’t able to keep up here. DS2 had a host of health issues and that included 4 minor surgeries. Towards the end of the year I had two deaths on my side of the family, people who I was really close to, so I had to work through that grief. However, I decided that 2019 was my year for only good things! We finally figured out the cause of DS2’s health problems and were able to resolve that and he started school which has been awesome.

I’ve been keeping up on the main page mainly in the workout threads to help keep me accountable. It feels good to be healthy again! DD is doing great, she’s so fun and has a big personality! My boys are both doing great too, it’s more challenging but more fun (IMO) the older they get. How is everyone around these parts??

unicornsparkles, Hi!! I'm so sorry 2018 was such a tough year and how awful about your poor boy and all his health issues and surgeries. I'm so glad y'all found out the issues and he is doing better! I'm also sorry to hear you lost 2 family members.

Sounds like your kiddos are all doing great and hooray to feeling healthy

Hi, guys!!! Thanks for the tag! I'm always thinking of you all! Life is going pretty well here! I've got some major transitions coming up for 2019, hopefully a big career move and a new home! We're all doing well - DS1 is thriving in Pre-K and the twins are growing like weeds! Seriously, E has been in 3T and D is constantly tackling new feats. I'm teaching this semester and trying to figure out timing for transitioning jobs. Oh, and I've also been on keto for more than 6 months which has been great!

Would love to share photos and see your kiddos! Can someone PM me the password?

Hope you're all well!

Hello!!! I think about you guys often and then think it's been too long and it would be weird if I posted.

Alexa is almost 21 months 😮. She is amazing. She can say "I did it!" And says "bless you" when you sneeze. The cutest. She also finally started letting me go her hair. And she hides things and thinks it's the best idea ever. She loves Bubble Guppies, Elmo, and Turkey videos.

I wanted to do a FET in January but unfortunately I was derailed by a relapse of my eating disorder. I've been in treatment since December. It's slowly getting better. I wish I could say I was in a better place but I'm getting there. Hopefully we can do a FET in a few months.

Also, if we have created a Facebook group let me know!

happyfeet9, sent it to you 😊. Sounds like such an exciting year for y’all. I’m glad the kiddos are all doing so well and can’t wait to see pics.

Please don’t ever feel like it’s weird, jump right in whenever yoshijo. I’m sorry to hear about your relapse but so proud of you for returning to treatment and sending you well wishes in your recovery. I’m glad A is doing great and im sure she is like a shining light for you 💕

It is so great to hear from you guys and how you and the babies are doing. Like jt2378 said, please feel free to jump in at any time. Not weird at all.

Hi!! Thanks for the tag! I lurk and check in on you guys but I always fall behind with posting. Once I started back to work full time I just really struggled to find time to check in. But I miss you all and will try to do better We're doing well. M is so big and so busy. She runs everywhere and is talking a whole lot. This is by far my favorite age so far because she just has me laughing all the time. I'm starting a new job in a couple weeks that I'm hoping will give me a better work/life balance, which hopefully means I'll be able to try to keep up here a bit better!

Man I just suck at anything social it seems! Totally missed this tag!

Things are okay here, mostly. DH is still without a job so at home, which is both a blessing as he gets to spend so much time with our little girl, as a pita cause.. I now have 2 kids sometimes And of course financial consequences.. but we're hanging in there. I had planned/hoped to stay home till D. went to school but likely will look into a part-time job sooner - all depending on whether DH finds anything suitable before too long.

D. goes to daycare two days a week at the moment, which she just LOVES. And it gives me some time to catch up on chores and what not, and to study. And it gives DH time to play pc games uninterupted *rolls eyes and sighs* this is a bit of an issue at times! She's gone through a ton of upper respiratory infections over the past 6+ months orso, it feels like she's been ill from one thing or another since her 1st birthday. We will see an ENT to discuss grommets and/or tonsil removal (as hers are pretty much constantly enlarged and "overenthusiastic" so they keep giving issues) if she gets another earinfection before too long. She's hitting all her milestones just fine though is a bit slow on talking. Nothing we're worried about just yet tho.

I'm so very glad winter is as good as over (we're currently going through an awsome good weather spell here, with summerlike temperatures even though tis just Spring) and the days are getting longer and brighter again. Just in time, as it rejuvenates me and this is good cause I was slipping back down the depression hole some again. But generally speaking I'm doing okay and my little family is well so ♥

**hugs** to you all and I'm really going to try and be more present again here. I miss y'all and our not-so-little-no-more babies. Anyone planning 2nd birthday parties already? ;-)
