marygracerich Happy Birthday month! I haven’t been around in ages. Wedding season is never ending this year so I’ve just been beyond swamped. But I’m so excited for October! The baby finally moved up to the toddler room this week. My husband is taking H to his parents Saturday night (night alone!) and I’m going to Cirque de Soleil on Sunday. Thanksgiving is the following weekend and we will be spending it in Muskoka at my brother’s cottage. And then we’re going to Italy for the last two weeks of October! I haven’t been on anything more than a weekend trip since my honeymoon 5 years ago. Now to just get through 2.5 weeks of craziness at work....

Happy October! I miss everyone! We are doing well, DS started daycare last week and it's been a tough adjustment but I think eventually he'll love it. They have him in the 2 to 2.5 year old room which scared me at first but he seems to be doing well with that. Drop offs are sooo sad though when he clings and asks "Mama coming??" with tears in his eyes. Here is a picture from last week! And one sleeping at daycare 😍

pinkcat I’m trying to convince the girls (really dd1) to wear the Dorothy costumes that they wore to an event a few weeks ago. If they don’t want to I’ll probably just encourage them to wear a costume that we already have. My c-section is scheduled first thing on Nov 1 so I don’t want to put much effort into it this year.

What is everyone doing for Halloween costumes this year? G is going as Cinderella and the baby will be Buzz Lightyear. I have the costumes already because we used them in Disney.

Hi! Happy October! It’s also my birthday month marygracerich! What will you do to celebrate? pinkcat E has also had a rough time with drop offs at daycare. She sobs and clings to H, and often cries most of her time there. If you ask her if she likes daycare she’ll say “I want mama.” For Halloween DD1 wants to be a white unicorn with gold horn and hooves. And I’m making E a black cat, since she loves cats so much. And my life update is that we’re renovating our kitchen and in the final weeks and so the current state of our house is driving me insane. But it will be great when it’s done!

Hi ladies! Happy birthday to those born in Oct! We are having a Halloween Housewarming Party next weekend. I’m really looking forward to it. Hoping for decent weather. We are doing a Toy Story theme for costumes. P will be Jessie, T will be a sheep, I’m Bo Peep and H will be Woody. Will come with pictures next weekend 😉

We had a busy weekend. Saturday we did some cleaning and shopping. Yesterday we went to comic con. It was fun but exhausting.
MH is on vacation this week so I get help all week. It’s glorious.

Hi guys! Work is going to be the death of me. We’re just so down to the wire on our project. I don’t think I ever updated but Ds2 is gluten free now and on iron to see if that helps and so far we’ve noticed a huge change. He’s actually growing.
DS1 requested the boys be woody and buzz this year so DS1 is Buzz and DS2 is Woody. And DS2 hates the hat so we will have to figure that out.

Getting by over here. I cannot wait to get my next period out of the way so I can start the mini pill to see if I see any anxiety improvement. Has anyone been on the mini pill? I'm curious as to what I might expect as far as periods/bleeding since it doesn't have a placebo week. I know everyone is different but just curious. We do not plan to use it as birth control because the interaction between it and my seizure med is going to be....interesting.
DH is still dragging his feet on his snip. It's beyond time, K is almost 2! He thinks he needs to meet with his primary and then be "referred". The dr who does them in our clinic is just another family practitioner so I don't believe he needs a consult like he might if it were a specialist. It is true it could be completely covered under insurance and basically just cost us an office copay?

My little has been crying at drop off for the last few weeks. He used to be fine. I'm sure it is just a phase but it sucks. I really like ds1 teacher at the new daycare but ds2 teacher is just ok. There are a lot fewer kids which is good though. Dh is out of town this week which sucks. I don't know how people solo parent on the regular.

jessijean it’s most likely going to be specific to your plan/company.ours is considered elective so it’s not covered unless you are your deductible.

Good morning all! Sorry for the post and run last week, it was a hectic week. I ended up in the ER for an ovarian cyst, DS got croup, DH got sick, and DS fell and bit all the way threw his lip. I'm ready for a new week😜
Love all the pictures and Halloween costume ideas!! All the LOs are getting so big ❤

Hi everyone! Love seeing the pics and costume "previews." We plan on being a Star Wars family. We aren't super fans or anything but DS asked and I found some cool light sabers. I plan to do family themed ones as long as I can get away with it! DH is Darth Vader, DD is Luke Skywalker, DD is Princess Leia and I'm C3PO. It's my birthday month too so I ran a marathon (first full post-kids!) in Minneapolis/St. Paul. The whole family went, Vivian's first time on a plane. It was a great trip, short but sweet. jessijean, I took the pill for a couple weeks and hated it. I don't have a great emotional response to being on hormones though. (I feel like I just act different and I'm sort of in a constant state of PMS....) DH got snipped in June and just got the OK that he is sperm-free! marygracerich, don't feel like you have to hold back on Disney pics . sarahh, wow the baby is almost here! pinkcat, your boy better stop hurting himself! We get in phases like that though when everything horrible happens at once. Hope it passes soon.

Hey ladies! we moved north 350 miles and I am loving my new house! I got the big in school which is awesome for my sanity. Leo turns 2 on Saturday where does the time go! His birth day was seriously one of the scariest days of my life. It was over quick but I think it’ll will be a long time that I won’t get emotional, I have come along way from wanted to scream at strangers for asking how old my baby is. Lol I have also been weaning myself off my lexapro and it’s going better than expected.
