Today is mine and dh anniversary. We went to the mexican restaurant for dinner because they had live music which J loves. He sat in his highchair for an hour no problem. Dh and i each had a drink. It was a nice night out.
Tomorrow i leave for cleveland for 3 days without j. Im dreading it. Ive been trying not to think about it but i have to pacj tonight .

J has been soing pretty good sleeping. Still wakes up once at night but its for like 5 minutes or less so not a big deal. So glad we stuck with sleep training again. Naps have been a little rougher but he has been going down so, we will take it.

king26 Happy anniversary!

The girls are driving us crazy. R is nuts and very demanding. She wants her blanket, seahorse and paci all the time. She’s just so busy.

H and I are both on vacation next week. We are supposed to go to WV for the 4th. We are both dreading being with the kids...

[king26]

bsouls J was wanting his binky every second in the car and in crib. Then he would throw it for attention. We finally pitched them 3 weeks ago and he went cold turkey. It sucked for over a week but now i dont even think he misses them. Good luck going to WV. What part?

Happy anniversary king26! I hope your trip goes ok, I know it will be hard on you and missing J.

I’m actually away with my girls right now bsouls. There have been ups and downs on the trip, it’s exhausting. I swear out A17 matching bday kiddos are long lost twins because they seem very similar personality wise. M is so high maintenance too.

Happy anniversary king26 ,that sounds like a lovely dinner out the 3 of you! I hope your trip to Cleveland will go smooth and fast and DH will do well with J, and that you'll be home before you know it.

Seems like all our kiddos are in high maintenance mode right now. I know D. is!! Now we're going through a heatwave as well and that's been rough on the kid as well.

jt2378 I hope you're having a good time away now. bsouls I hope your trip away for th 4th will be fun!

[muscari]

So, we've been looking around for houses in the area where my family lives for a while now. Ever since D. was born I've felt the desire even more soto live nearer. A few weeks ago we viewed several houses, and one stuck out. These past 2 weeks we've been doing lots of thinking, research and all, talked with our financial advisor.. and ended up putting in a bid yesterday. We'll here back tomorrow. We don't expect them to accept this bid but are hoping to open negotiations this way. DH is a anxious mess, more so then I am, while normally it's the other way around!? If we do end up buying this house we have to get our asses in gear and get our house ready to be put on the market as soon as possible. Houses like ours sell almost like hot buns in our area, so we aren't too worried about that bit - but OMG I had forgotten the work involved! ;-) Worth it though, to be living 5mins away from my parents, and with 1/4th of the mortgage we have now, to boot. Little D. is doing well. She's toddlering and giving us a run for our money sometimes. We just love her so much! Nights are still a bit hit and miss, but her last molars are trying to poke through so yea. She's learning new words like almost every day, and is babbling like mad. Little chatterbox just like her momma haha.

king26 happy anniversary! Try to enjoy your trip- it’ll be a good experience to be away! And enjoy STTN!!

bsouls jt2378 trips with kids my gosh. we are at great wolf lodge for a couple days and I like damn! With only one kid, idk how you multiple kids people do it 😂

muscari so good to hear from you!! Good luck with the bid! That sounds wonderful!!!

We’re at this water park resort from yesterday til tomorrow. N LOVED the water park and little slides and pools yesterday. Today he wants NOTHING to do with them 🤨 but he loved the arcade. We ended up spending a bunch of money playing games with him today 🤦🏻‍♀️ And I think we’re going to go to build a Bear after naptime. We are such suckers. Having fun family time though. 🤗

I have hand tendon surgery on Monday morning. Ugh. Not looking forward to it but also am bc I’m in constant pain and DH - like he knows it hurts to do anything but he also doesn’t get it when I say it hurts and I need help with things like diaper changes bc he’s like eh. 🙄 and least I’ll be 100% out of commission for two weeks with my cast and whatever so he’ll really figure it out then 😒

[bsouls]

king26 Horner, WV. It’s only like a 5.5 hour drive for us.

[bsouls]

R is nuts. She loves jumping.

I haven’t had any time alone in 5 weeks. So very much looking forward to planning a date with DH to go to six flags for a day.
I don’t think it would be much fun with the kids. Some things are soo much fun because kids. And some things they just suck the fun out of. Cough cough , will be more fun when they are older.

I’m away up in NH with the kids at Storyland and Santa’s Village and while it’s been fun and sweet seeing the kids have so much fun, I am so effin exhausted. I definitely need an actual vacation after this 😂

[king26]

Everyone survived me being away. First night i slept like crap. Second night i passed out and woke up at 610. I lay in bed from 610 to 8 drinking coffee, reading a book, relaxing. It was awesome. My 3 days were super fun, busy, and i ate a ton a food.

Dh said j was really good, went down for bed and nap ok which i was nost worried about. So i worried for nothing

Qhen i got home j started sobbing. He pulled his face against mine and rubbed noses then cried and yelled at me then clung to me and kissed me then sobbed and yelled. I think he was half happy o was hime and half pissed i left. It made me cry but then he just sat on my lap for 10 minutes loving on me.

Thats close to buckhannon I think. Thats where i went to college.

[addymac]

Omg king26 that reunion is so cute and sad!! I’m glad you were able to enjoy yourself though!! And that J was easy for YH. I was going to ask how you did, but I was so busy this morning.

Yesterday we had two play dates and were basically out all day minus naptime. So today we were going to take it easy but a new potential friend texted back finally about doing a play date this morning at a park nearby so instead of a relaxing morning st home doing laundry and cleaning we went out. N had a meltdown on the way home so he went down for a nap an hour early. Whatever dude. I cleaned the bathrooms and now we’re going to install some shelving in our room. Then clean the floors and vacuum once he’s awake.

[yellowcat]

Good luck everyone! We have been dealing with shit sleep from all kids. Two are teething and my eldest is just crazy. She will only sleep on a couch, wtf!

We also just finished up swim lessons and are suckers. We bought season passes to the waterpark in town and now basically live there. I am so tired... but the half day of sun and water is starting to impact their sleep. All were down by 8:30 last night and only 2 woke up during the night!

Oh man water parks for the win with making them sleep. Our first day at Great Wolf Lodge we played all afternoon in the water and he sttn! It was amazing. I’ve been searching for pools near us to take him to LOL

[king26]

Good luck with the surgery tomorrow addymac

[jt2378]

GL today! addymac

What time is your surgery scheduled for? Keep us posted how it goes. I hope it brings you some much needed relief.

[addymac]

Thanks ladies! jt2378 scheduled for 7:30 so I’m here in the pre-op waiting area in my sweet gown and slipper socks 👍🏼 I’m mostly just hungry. Originally they said I’d need twilight sedation and an iv etc but now the nurse was like oh it’s just local. Then why can’t I eat, lady?? 😒 we will see haha.

I’m so nervous how recovery is going to be. Originally my dr said 2wk but then they filled out my paperwork for work to be 1mo in case I need more time. I’m going to cross my fingers I heal quickly bc the idea of not picking N up for a month sucks. And also bumming around home kind of sucks. Like I’m home but then my nanny will be there since I can’t do anything. So I guess I’ll be spending a LOT of time with her and N. But also- Like how am I going to cut my food. And wipe my butt???!!! I’m so bad at things left handed LOL. And wash my hair. I told dh he had to help me and he was like... you have a left hand... ... so I told him I’d be getting lots of blow outs every 3 days if he had no interest in helping me lol. That got him on board real quick!

[jt2378]

How did your surgery go? addymac

Hope your recovery is easy and you can rest.
