1. She’s been practicing her mean mug lately and it’s hilarious. She’ll randomly lower her head and furrow her brow and purse her lips at us. Then giggle and do it again.
2. We recently brought our Litter Robot out of retirement and she’s been so afraid of it, but after a week of emphasizing how cool robots are in books and buying her a robot purse she seems to be cool with it now. She’s been more into independent play lately, which is great!
3. She recognizes “ABC” when she sees it. She can recite up to E, but doesn’t have much interest in learning any more. 😂
4. We’ve taken her paci away at nap time. It’s been a little over a week. Sometimes it’s fine, sometimes it’s a nightmare. She still gets it at bedtime, but I’m wondering if that’s just making the naptime adjustment harder. Idk! She’s also more defiant lately, particularly when it comes to food or diaper changes.
5. I’m good but so busy! I got a promotion to supervisor at our other campus so I’ve been doing shadow shifts to get to know everybody and the way things are done there as opposed to how I’m used to. I feel like the new kid in class. I’ve had an anxious stomach since I started shadowing. Everybody (with one exception) has been really welcoming, though.
QOTW: Plain black coffee! I’ll fancy it up sometimes when I want a special treat though. And if I have tea, it’s typically fanceh Teavana loose leaf with flowers and dried fruit and junk.

1. What hilarious thing(s) did your little do this week? (Give us a laugh!) So many. But I'll go with she is obsessed with her Halloween costume. It's a shitty alligator hooded vest thing, but there's no room for a neck. So I can't zip it up all the way. She wears it everywhere. 2. What made you go aww? (Happy things here!) She's been really into babies lately. She feeds them and wears them and washes their faces. It's adorable to watch. 3. What had you cheering them on? (Milestones) hmm... Well, she's getting more varied syllables when she jabbers. So that's good. Every once in a while she's get a word in there. Like the other day when she kept saying taco butt, we eventually discovered she was saying talk about, which was not nearly as entertaining. 4. What made you want to crawl back into bed? (Challenges go here!) Normal toddler tantrum stuff. 5. How you doin? Meh. Jackson's birthday is coming up next week. He would have been 11. So just thinking about all the what ifs. 6. Share a pic from the week, if you please! Reading to her baby. QOTW: Coffee or tea? Plain or fanceh? Depends on my mood. Both have their place. |

1. G and Js new fun thing to do is to furiously shake their heads no at each other and then belly laugh. I don’t know why it’s so funny, but they love it.
2. I love catching the kids sitting nicely and playing together it makes my heart melt.
3. Gabe’s slowly starting to show interest in the potty, so we’ve been introducing him to that. And Julie has been walking assisted so much.
4. We’ve had some bad days lately where both kids are just in bad moods. They clearly feed off of each other which just means a lot of whining and crying.
5. I’m so tired. My iguana died, my dog has cancer (he goes for surgery in a couple weeks), and I just need to stop being so sad.
QOTW: coffee nice and plain with some cream. It’s the best.

Gonna deviate from the list today because we all had gastro this week, so I cant think of any "aww"/funny/milestones/etc. And challenges.... Well me, with gastro, alone (DH is offshore) with a baby and toddler, who also had gastro.... There were puke buckets (plural), I put C in pullups (left over from potty training), and I lost 4lbs.
Here's to this week being better!!
QOTW: I'm a tea drinker. My everyday tea is just regular Tetley with milk and sugar. However I'll have a plain green tea if I need to reduce caffeine, and enjoy fanceh loose leaf blends as a "dessert" or to compliment the season (candy cane at Christmas etc)

1. What hilarious thing(s) did your little do this week? Both girls are obsessed with Beyonce's "all the single ladies" and they request it by singing the chorus: "oh oh oh, oh oh oh" and pointing at the ipad. (which is how we play it for them)
2. What made you go aww? My babies started giving each other kisses! It's the cutest thing I've ever seen.
3. What had you cheering them on? They are talking more! They each say about 5 words and understand way more.
4. What made you want to crawl back into bed? H has been inconsolably cranky in the evenings lately - I wonder if she's getting more teeth? It's really sad because she's usually such a happy baby.
5. How you doin? I'm in the middle of the TWW from my FET and I'm a mess. I feel like this is my last shot for another baby and I don't think my chances are super great (embryo was an untested BB). I'm so so grateful for the twins. So grateful. But I only got to be pregnant once/have newborns once/etc and I just really really really want another go around. So I'm stressed and preemptively sad. Ug.
QOTW: Coffee or tea? Plain or fanceh?
Coffee! I like flavored coffee with cream but I'll also drink regular black if that's all there is.

Thanks! It's Nov 1st, which is 13dp5dt. So late! That is late! Going to POAS? I was trying to wait, but broke down and tested today. {Spoiler}I got a squinter on a wonfo that expired in 2015. I then tried the only other batch of tests I had in the house, which expired in 2013. Another squinter. So now I'm spending the night googling "chances of false positive on expired HPT." Sigh. I might have to go buy new ones just to head off the crazy, but I was really hoping to avoid that since I'm paying the clinic to do the blood test, after all. |

I hope it’s a true positive!! |
