How’s everyone’s xmas shopping going? I use to be one of those ppl that didn’t shop until Dec. but I can’t do that with kids anymore. I don’t have time to do anything. I’ve been ordering stuff today. I feel like I’m 50% done (which is really good for me before thanksgiving!) I'm usually about 90% done at this point, but this time around I'm like 20%.

I have bought nothing. I'm not sure what to get anyone, either.
Winning!

I feel like I’m 50% done (which is really good for me before thanksgiving!) I really only have stocking stuffers left to buy for our immediate family. Main gifts for the girls have been bought and I have a couple gifts for my H, though I may do something else as well if I feel inspired. We're not exchanging gifts with my H's sister, so I only have to figure out gifts for my sister and her H, and my in-laws. My mom and dad just want family photos, which we'd be doing anyway, but I do need to arrange a photo session for sometime in the near future.

I’ll get L one gift from Santa and we’ll do all our Christmas shopping after the holiday! One small perk of being a mariner’s wife... we’ll do Christmas on my birthday.

I heard H coughing this morning around 7 so I told M we should go check on him. As I’m heading to the door it opens, H walks out and says, “I wake up!”
He had gotten out of his sleep sack, turned on the light, climbed out of his crib and opened the door.
It was a good run ladies.

Plus he takes all of his stuffed animals out every morning and puts them back in at night. I'd rather let him do that crap on his own time lol.

What's everyone doing for Thanksgiving? We will be at the ILs for lunch and then my aunt's for dinner. There will be 23 people at my aunt's house and that sounds like an awful way to end the day 😬 I don't want to go. But I am looking forward to all the food, obviously. What about you?

Ugh that's so many people lol I have zero idea what I'll be doing since these damn doctors don't tell me anything. Half the people seem to think we're being discharged tomorrow and the other half are talking about another 4 days. It's really frustrating and they don't seem to follow up with us on the plan until rounds in the morning. I'm gonna ask the nurse to page them though. Most likely, we'll still be here so I'll be going to my parents house with C then going back to the hospital and H will take C to his parents house.

I wish someone could give you a direct answer goldenlove. I’m sure you’re ready to take baby K home.

We’re going to my in laws house for Thanksgiving. I’m trying to decide wether to go over early and let H nap there or go after his nap. After the nap sounds ideal because it will be less time I have to deal with my BIL...

I wish someone could give you a direct answer goldenlove. I’m sure you’re ready to take baby K home. So I talked to the doctor. They are planning on taking the picc out tomorrow and hopefully letting us go home to manage the calorie increases ourselves. I told them I can handle mixing formula, that's not a reason for us to stay admitted. Plus we have a follow up for her g-tube Monday already scheduled and they're supposed to take the lead on nutrition. They're just trying to coordinate with Ortho to get her cast on before we leave so we can save a trip and not waste more time. Everyone keep your FX that she has a good night!

She had another good night. Still waiting for them to round. Sounds like they still plan to take the picc out today and the home nurse already called to schedule for tomorrow. All good signs so far! But also eye rolls for them wanting to come tomorrow. I'm like.. uhh sure, guess I can plan my whole Thanksgiving around you. Unfortunately they said they won't be able to come out again until Monday and we already have another appointment so we'll figure it out.

I’m glad it looks like you’ll be going home though!

We host every year. My family and H family come over. It’s about 11 ppl so, manageable. Our table is a 6 person table w a leaf (8) and normally we all just squeeze around it... but there are some not small ppl on Hs side. So I bought a folding table that I’m going to put on the end of ours to give us some more elbow room this year. I’m making the turkey, pumpkin pie and apple pie. Everyone else brings a side or 2. My sister can’t cook so she does the dishes which is better than a side to me lol.

That sounds nice cookswithwine! Especially not doing the dishes lol. We always use a folding table as a kids table. I found nice elastic tablecloths that fit right on it too.

I have an ivory colored very oversized table cloth that I usually use. Since I’ve never done this configuration before, I hope it fits! If not, I’ll have to get something for next year.

It’s just us! I work Friday morning so I couldn’t go far. Plus ILs moved to a smaller place so can’t stay there. My sister is redoing nieces room so their guest room is occupied so no place to stay for us to go!
We making Cornish Hens and calling it good!
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

My ILs are getting the kids a huge backyard trampoline for Christmas. I'm mostly excited. It'll have the safety net of course but my kids are great at hurting themselves (especially K).

Make sure you report that you are getting one to your insurance. My godparents had a kid get hurt on their's (they weren't home, she was jumping with their daughter in the rain) and their insurance wouldn't cover medical because they didn't report having it. Some insurances will increase your rate as well. I loved jumping on their trampoline though.
