I did! I held it together while we dropped him off but then definitely cried once we got back to the car. He was excited though and ran right in the classroom!

[goldenlove]

jubilantsquirrel He looks so cute!! These kids are growing up too fast. Sheesh.

[jubilantsquirrel]

OMG, I almost forgot to mention that DS2 had his best night of sleep ever last night! I put him down in his crib at 8:30 where he cried for about 10 minutes before passing out. He woke up once around 12-12:30 (I can't remember exact time) and I nursed him and then he slept until MH went in and got him up at 8am! It's a miracle!!

[waitwhat]

jubilantsquirrel awesome! And DS1 is so freaking cute.

[waitwhat]

Well, I purposely tried to get the kids to coordinate naps today and boy did it backfire on me. I was hoping J would sleep on the walk but he stayed awake the entire time. So when I got home at 11 I figured my best bet was to wait until 12:30-1 and I could then put both down and sneak a workout in. Well, J was up at 1:30. Then again at 2 but I was in the shower so I hurried up and got out. Now I'm rocking with him hoping he'll go back to sleep and I can hear B in his room crying. Wtf kids? B usually sleeps 1-3:30/4 but the past 3 days been waking up at 2:30 crying. I hope he's not dropping this nap. Please lord no.

Gah... I hate packing. I going to a big down syndrome moms retreat tomorrow. DH and M are staying in my room but they are not allowed at any of the retreat activities. There are almost 500 moms coming from all around the world.

[sarahwithanh]

To clarify I haven't started packing yet.

DS1 goes through phases where he won't take his nap. Sometimes it lasts for a couple weeks and then he goes back to daily 2.5-3 hour naps. Right now it's mostly just hit or miss, he napped Tuesday but didn't nap yesterday. Hopefully B is just going through a phase and he'll go back to his regular nap schedule soon.

Everyine, is dropping naps and H still requires multiple a day. I'm assuming because he doesn't sleep long. But it's making it really hard to get shit done.

[goldenlove]

That sounds intense sarahwithanh. Where is the retreat?

[jubilantsquirrel]

I guess DS1 had a rough first day of school. They said he cried a lot and they couldn't understand what he was trying to say to them which made him more upset. Poor kid. I feel awful.

H still takes 3 a day.

ETA unless he's at daycare.  Then it's usually 2.  It just depends on which teachers are in his room in the afternoon.

Chicago. I'm excited, but nervous. It's only open to women who are in the Facebook support groups. I joined while pregnant and it's lime of like this group but bigger. They started in 2013 and its only for moms of kids 3 and under. One your in though your in forever so some have 4 year olds

Adorable jubilantsquirrel! I hope he had an amazing day!

Have fun sarahwithanh! What a great experience for the Moms, I kinda love that the husbands and kids aren't invited.

[flamingo]

Enjoy your trip sarahwithanh! (and I can relate, I'm also a packing procrastinator)

He's so handsome jubilantsquirrel! Hope he had a great day

[flamingo]

So here's my AW for the day...my sister heard from her nurse. They were able to freeze FOUR 'snow babies' (as she's calling them). Her hope was 2, she was praying for 3, so 4 is practically miraculous. She was so excited, we spent several minutes on the phone just squee-ing with happiness.

Assuming all goes well they'll do a transfer in the next few weeks! 😬😬😬

[jubilantsquirrel]

That's so great flamingo!!

[goldenlove]

That is such amazing news flamingo!! Keep us updated!

[goldenlove]

So C's been going in for those cranial therapy appointments every couple weeks. He apparently gained a whole freaking pound in 2 weeks!! Just when I thought he was slowing down. How the hell am I supposed to buy him cute Christmas outfits?

[danib]

Crazy goldenlove!!! I feel like H has been in a growth spurt, but definitely not that extreme!

as poor guy. I hope tomorrow is better!

[waitwhat]

flamingo!!! Yeah! That's awesome!!

[tallb]

flamingo eek!! I missed a few weeks ago about her doing IVF, but so glad to hear things are going well!! Fingers and toes crossed for a successful transfer!

[tallb]

Hi hi! Just got back from N's back to school night at daycare. She is the baby of the bunch and is now sleeping on a cot and eating the food they provide, growing up so fast! This place is disorganization Central and she has a new lead teacher and I only know bc I asked who she was and where was the other teacher (face palm). It's a bit silly to have it for this age, but I felt like I had to go since the teachers had to stay for it. I do have a new mom friend at least, we even had matching purses.

[vino]

That's awesome flamingo! I'm so happy for them!

[cookswithwine]

Watch Hocus Pocus right now! It's amazing!

flamingo good news!

We are so torn btw leaving for hurricane Irma or not. At first we were set on leaving. But now our evacuation house doesn't seem much better off than our current house! So we are thinking of "hunkering down" as they say. I wish someone would just tell me what to do. I hate the uncertainty.
