Wonderful Wednesday!

[winogirl]

I am feeling so good today. Optimistic, semi-well rested and ready for the weekend (lol)!!

For those not on fb - we had F's 9 month appt yesterday (at 10months) and pedi gave us some sample menus for how much real food we should be giving him -- spoiler it was WAY more than what DH has been giving despite my suggestions that we should be giving more. So - we upped the rest of his meals yesterday and DH swears he's going to try and follow the sample menu today. 
We also worked through some of the issues we've been having (his constant "helpful feedback" and my crabbiness toward said attitude and also breatfeeding/pumping stuff)

AND I managed to line up my mom to babysit tomorrow so we can go out to happy hour for a mini date night. 

What's everyone else got going on?

I'm getting frustrated with this project. Anyone expert at ArcGIS Online?.... 😬

[samelly]

I'm feeling sore today. I think I'm sore because I've been holding this baby nonstop for a few days while he had a fever. He is all better now but I'm tired and hurting. I wish I could have a warm bath but that is not happening.

DD2 seems to be coming out the other side of her teething and cold. The tooth is still barely through but it seems to be enough that she's not a surly, screaming, monster today.

I had my US today. Baby was moving so much the pics are blurry and it took a long time to get the measurements we needed. She said my placenta is in the way again, so probably why I'm still not really feeling anything.

We have our house inspection tomorrow, so one more step on the road to getting out west!

I'm good today. I've gotten into a decent groove with family life, work, and working out. I could still use a little more sleep. I could totally do without E waking up screaming, but at least it was only once. We're starting to get into a good rhythm.
Annnndddd.....we're thinking about TTCA. Technically we already are TTCA, but with our IF diagnosis I kind of don't count it until we head back to the RE. I'm, kind of terrified. How can we possibly manage our lives with two. How will anyone get enough from each other. I'm already having anxiety dreams.

I'm so glad things are looking better winogirl. Really hoping more solids will help F sleep better.

I'm constantly sore samelly, and that's w a perfectly healthy baby. C just demands to be held at all times!

Holy Crap - how are you almost half way already?!?!?!

I had 6" of my hair chopped off yesterday. I dont dislike it, but am definitely getting used to my new "mom" cut.

For the record - it does not look like a mom cut. lol 
you look fabulous!

[ldubhawksfan]

It's my day off. I've been getting quotes on some landscaping. I'm tired now and while I should make some muffins and baby food while she naps, I'm really going to try to nap too.

But while I'm thinking of it, DD is going to be a pink flamingo for Halloween. Any ideas for costumes DH and I could wear to be somewhat themed??

I might've missed the sample menu, but we JUST started sending K to school with breakfast and lunch rather than just lunch as of yesterday. he ate all the things, plus all his bottles. it might be a fluke, but he slept all night for the first time in I don't even remember how long. This gives me hope that food will solve his sleep issues too

I got a mom cut too. My hair hasn't been this short since my brother got gum in my hair. Definitely took some adjustment.

Hula girl, floral shirts, that lady with the fruit on top of her head... Hmmm

I didn't get a chance to respond to this yesterday. As you know, we are hanging out together with TTCA but have IF in the back of my head. Have you guys decided how long you are going to try before contacting your RE? Is that the part that gives you anxiety? I think I would shit a brick if we got pregnant soon because of our past, but also because of the age spacing. We would be ok with them this close, but it would be hard.

[kensie5226]

ldubhawksfan, oh we decided we'd seek treatment in the new year. No way will we wait a whole year. No, I'd be happy if it happened naturally (but, I truly don't expect it to). I'm just scared in general about have two. It seems like it'll be so overwhelming and we finally got to a place where it all seems good. NB all over again?!

[schmella]

kensie5226, ldubhawksfan, MH and his brother are a year apart and they are BFFs. My sister and I are 5yrs apart and more like frenemies? I love her, I would kill for her, she drives me absolutely insane. If our first was a singleton, we'd be trying for #2 right now.

It is a big step to go back to newborn status, and to double your kid count. But remember that there are so many great things other than sleepless nights and if you want to expand your family and think you are ready, you will be. Plus there is that 9 months to prepare! Ha.

[kensie5226]

ldubhawksfan, for sure. This particular anxiety is actually normal and I'm sure we'll be fine. I'm just like two little people?!
