How about you vino? How have you and H settled back in? I have a friend who's H deploys and she always said it's an adjustment when he gets home. But his deployments were usually for longer periods of time, and they've since divorced, so maybe not a great example. But really, how are you

You look great sophiegrace! So L got two new teeth in the past two days. They aren't the front top ones, that I'm sure of. I can't tell if they the two next to those or the two next to that, are those incisors? Idk but now she looks like a vampire. Good timing for Halloween I suppose. LOL How cute! If they are incisors you are lucky! I feel like those are awful! Those caused B the most pain! Yep! Now that I think of it those were horrible for E too 😕. Have I shared how much I hate teeth?

I'm coming through to read the whole thread... vino we're almost officially at one nap a day now unless she misses out on the normal amount of hours she sleeps in a night. It's a bit hairy at times but I'm not minding the sudden ability to do so much more. kleigh GO AV!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 yesss!!! Booo MIL. I hope you get your wine and movie night, any in particular you've been wanting to see? jubilantsquirrel Years ago H and I started adding up what we spent on takeout, lunches, coffees, etc. and that alone was enough for us to cut the cord. It's boring but holy whoa it added up quickly over the course of the month. You definitely deserve ahhhmazing shoes if you make it (and you will!!) the whole month! Aghh I want to go to the zoo goldenlove! Partially for M, but mostly for me lol. Woohoo date night tjanca22!! I hope it's a great time. 30 minutes in a waiting room sounds terrible. I love C flamingo. Girlfriend knows what she wants and goes for it. 🍩 danib I'm just catching up with all of this. Shit. Like, just, shit. I'm hopeful that the meeting with work will allow for a solution to present itself. hangry men. Seriously. Why do they have to be so stubborn? He's not diabetic, is he? When you first said he was sweaty and feeling like hell before he passed out it sounded like he could have gone hypoglycemic. How scary. Re: clothes I just got rid of so much stuff and am trying to reload with better quality basics. I'm trying to avoid the trendy stuff and stick with stuff I know I'll wear and be comfortable in. So it mostly all looks the same and is probably boring but at least I'm getting use out of it. I just don't feel comfortable in trendy stuff.

I have been slowly purging my clothes. I just have sooooooo much. And that's not a brag, most of it is either 5+ years old or hand-me-downs. I'm making progress, but I HATE getting rid of stuff. I'm always certaim I'll want it aa soon as it's gone (this has happened before).

sophiegrace I hope you guys are having some fun!!! How's she do on the drive ?! Terrible! 😂😂 BUT she's an awesome little side kick. So much fun once we get her out of her seat everywhere we go. The only small issue is that she's now waving and saying hi. Loudly. Screams it at you and expects a wave a hello back. She's normally slow to warm up so we didn't expect her to do it to every single person she saw. It was a loud lunch.

Her two top teeth were horrendous. #'s 5 and 6 weren't too bad but still not a walk in the park. Im just ready for it to be over so she can't finally get some relief.

Six teeth? I can't even imagine.
C *barely* has her bottom two. Barely, like they're nowhere near all the way in yet. B was a late teether, too, so the pedi wasn't surprised yesterday that C is the same (apparently that kind of thing is hereditary). Poor thing so desperately wants to eat what we're eating, and I let her to an extent, but it would be way easier for her with at least a couple top teeth.
Also, I am at a place called Aloha Nails enjoying a complimentary adult beverage while I get a mani/pedi. It's not Hawaii, but I will take it.

flamingo it might not be Hawaii but it sounds like paradise. And yes, six teeth. We're averaging one every 2.5 weeks almost to the day and she is sooo sensitive to pain. It's fun.

But his deployments were usually for longer periods of time, and they've since divorced, so maybe not a great example. But really, how are you Every single part of being military is a transition period. The work up, the anticipation of going, the actual going, the being away part, the anticipation of coming home, the honeymoon period of coming home, then reality sets in... We're in the last part and it's...well..going, lol He's still off work and with me being on maternity leave there is a lot of togetherness. Let's just say he needs to go back to work 😉 Thanks for thinking of me.

AV and AB 's bottom two came in at the same time (although AVs were a couple days ahead but I mean both teeth came in the same night/day). Once at the surface hers shot through. Him, however, poor guy took weeks for them to actually grow up nicely.
She now has the top two as well, which also came in together (and I think cutting at least another one but I can't tell where) while ABs top two aren't to be seen.

I can't tell if they the two next to those or the two next to that, are those incisors? Idk but now she looks like a vampire. Good timing for Halloween I suppose. N did that and a few weeks later her front ones have cut through, but still way behind the fangs. The doctors were cracking up. I doubt they are the incisors though, those are super late and super painful.

**trigger warning**
One of my coworker's family members was displaced from Hurricane Harvey. Her grandmother didn't want to leave their house so she stayed behind and drowned. Now it's just her & the 2 kids. She lost everything and has 2 small kids. I feel terrible for her. Tonight I"m going to get together all of M's old baby clothes and then I'm actually going to clean out my closet. My coworker thinks she's about my size. I can't even imagine what she's going through.

Re: clothes - I have way too much stuff. Like from college even. A purge is in my future.
Hurricane update: the forecast looks better for my location today. So we are staying. H got up early and fought some ppl for a generator at Home Depot (not literally). So we will be able to power some things including a window AC unit. I bought so much food (and alcohol). I'm currently drinking a beer and eating "hurricane snacks".

The ongoing joke around here was even in a hurricane, there were only 2 things left on the shelves: vegan meat & Dallas Cowboy coolers.

How long is he off work for vino? He's off until the beginning of October. Then he'll be back to Mon-Fri working from the base here. Eta: I just reread my previous post and I sound terrible. I'm grateful that he is home and the kids are taking to him perfectly, which is always a worry. J follows him around everywhere, which we were worried about because he left when she was just about 5 months. All in all, it's good, just a constant 'getting used to' changes.
