J is such a hot mess. we went out of town for my aunt's 80th birthday this last weekend and he is all over the place falling down is crying eating off of other people's plates. My cousin's thought he was the best thing ever because he was not theirs.
I've been sorting out all clothes and packing up things to give away. I think partying with kids clothes is almost as bad as getting rid of are embryos. I'm not sure why all this is messing with my head so much. but I'm super happy number 3 with a girl and not another boy because oh my God....

Other things Im stressing over. I know it woupd be a miracle if we ever had another but I dont want to get rid of the pack n play or the bouncer or things like that. Its driving me nuts |

I was 100% convinced we are OAD until like 2 weeks ago and even then I couldn’t give anything away. I just found out a good friend is pregnant and her kids are 15 and 9..... and I’m like omg no I can’t give her anything bc what if.

If I wasn't already 40 and MH just had a vasectomy I would probably not be letting go... |

We had our speech evaluation today for Noah. Turns out he qualifies for speech therapy because he’s 31% delayed like in the 12 to 15 month range for expressive speech so I guess we’re going to start doing that. I am feeling, I guess kind of weird but not weird about it like it’s not like I did anything wrong but it also feels weird to be told that your kid is delayed so... but that’s OK. They also assessed him for like the other areas and they said he was doing great there so I’m like hey at least!
Now the annoying paperwork begins to get everything in order so that he can start his therapy hopefully as soon as possible.

But if hea only slightly delayed getting him intervention will get him caught up quickly. I worry about j. He mostly just babbles. Im hoping by 2 he has more than the 10ish words he has |

addymac Early speech help will be great- it was so helpful with my DS. Although mine just does NOT ever stop talking now. It’s totally a mixed bag of feelings to read assessment results though.

addymac I think J will need to be evaluated. We keep trying and he is saying about 10 re words. He talks a lot but no idea what any of it means. He completely understands us so there is that. I just want intervention so that the temperature tantrums over misunderstanding him will end...

R went to toddler time at Get Air for the first time yesterday and loved it.
I don’t think R consistently uses a lot of words, but she tried to talk in sentences. H says he pooped Monday and she looked in the toilet, and said “I see poop.”

addymac, I get feeling something, not bad necessarily but there is always that little blah feeling to hear your kid is not 100% perfect. I'm glad he qualifies though and can start therapy. I'm sure it will start helping. Also I was still in the other thread,lol. I was asking how N was feeling? I hope his cold is better! I'm also in a weird place about all the baby clothes. Still have everything from both kids! AND definitely not having more sooooooo I know I'm being irrational in my thinking with keeping it.

Is it a myth that boys don't typically talk as quickly as girls do? I have heard that before but don't know if that is true.

Is it a myth that boys don't typically talk as quickly as girls do? I have heard that before but don't know if that is true. I’ve heard it but idk how true it is. I was chalking Ns delay to being a boy and bilingual bc that’s also been said about bilingual kids. I mentioned it yesterday to them and they basically were like yeah it can be, def the bilingual but 🤷🏻♀️ About the boy thing. I think it’s anecdotal for the boy thing with not much actual research but I haven’t looked into it deeply. I’m feeling better about it. It feels so dumb to be feeling weird about the evaluation so I’m just gonna KOKO. jt2378 sorry! I missed that post. Thanks for checking in. He’s a bit better. No more fever but still coughing and snotty runny nose and slept like crap last night and of course DH was overnight at the hospital again so I slept like crap so I feel like shit today. I want to crawl into bed and never get out. But I’m also so hungry. |

M picked it up from D1 (which I obviously knew that was coming from my ranting post about her coughing eevverrrryyywheree) and she has the same symptoms so was also a crab last night. Its frigin mid-April, can we just be done with all this sickness already/!!! |

As for boys and delays...true. the percentage of boys to girls in special ed is huge. Mostly this is due to delays. Many test out later on because they have caught up. Its also proven thay boys have more learning disabilities and adhd than girls. My ratios are always 3:1 boys to girls

My kids have BOTH slept all night for the past week (which is a miracle, seriously) but today they were both up at 4am. What the heck.
I haven’t nursed DD in a week. So we are done, finally. She’s still randomly asking but I keep directing her to a snack instead. I’m glad to be done, but a little sad too since we aren’t having more kids.

I know it’s bittersweet sometimes but glad the transition went easy. I so want to be done but this kid is so stubborn ugh. |
