Sorry I've been Mia guys. Ethan is sick again!!! 101.6 before bed. Daycare didn't even notice. I picked him up and as soon as I looked at him I was like ummm he had a fever. The girl was like oh. Yah... His cheeks look red. Ughhh. Were splurging for a nanny till he's a year. His poor little body needs a break.

Wow - my DC calls as soon as he's .1 over the max and gets sent home.

Right?  I feel like the fact that they didn't notice means they're not watching him nearly close enough. And, this means that there are probably other kids that are sick at daycare passing around the germs.

J seems to be feeling a little better today. I really hope the antibiotics do the trick.

We said goodbye to our bunnies today. We found a home for them with someone that has bunnies and that we can keep in touch with. It was a tough decision, but I just couldn't shake the feeling that they were at least part of the reason why J has been sick for so long and that's not a chance I can take. We won't get anymore pets until he can be tested for allergies down the road.

WTH? Oh that is not OK! I hope he feels better soon

LO has weaned himself off the Paci. He wouldn't take it during the day and then occasionally at nite. But now he doesn't want it.

So glad he's feeling better but I'm so sorry about your bunnies! I didn't share on here but we had to find a new home for our pup about a month ago after we confirmed Ethan is allergic. It's hard, but our babies come first. Hugs mama.

Finally got E down after an hour and a half. Fever is up and down but he's thrown up 3x today. Ugh. He just had a wet diaper thank God. Hopefully he drinks some overnight. Is it spring yet?

[sunshineshades]

We put an offer in on a house today. We weren't planning to move yet but wanted to see what was out there. Looked a house yesterday and were both like, we want it. So now if they accept we have to get our house ready to list. It's going to be a busy busy few days.

I'm sorry, that really stinks.

[sunshineshades]

My mum is being really weird about us buying a house and it is upsetting me.
SO far, I told her we were putting in an offer, she asked where, I answered, that was it, she changed the subject.
Today I asked if she was free tomorrow to entertain E because we want to paint our kitchen because we likely have to be ready to list in 3 days.
She said she can't sorry, then changed the subject.

Has not asked me one question about what the house looks like, when we might be moving, NOTHING.

And this isn't a matter of her being concerned we can't afford it etc.

I think she is upset because she thinks if we buy a new house then when my sister and family come to visit they will always want to stay at our house because it will be bigger and cleaner.

I am so excited and everyone else we tell is asking lots of questions, offering to help get our house ready.... NOTHING!

[mom2boxers]

sunshineshades - is it much farther from her than your current house? Maybe she's worried she won't see you all as much?

Nope. If anything it's closer. It's only a few blocks from our current house.

Aw, my guess would still be jealousy, though. About visitors, or maybe just that you can afford it? Sometimes people get really funny about money (or what money looks like to them) or about relationship jealousies. Whatever it is that's bothering her about it, it would be nice if you can talk it out and all feel better about it someday, but if she's feeling badly about it for petty reasons that will eventually blow over, then I actually think it's nice of her to just try to change the subject rather than have a discussion that will make you feel bad. She might be thinking it's kinder to redirect the conversation and let you enjoy it than have to deal with being upset listening about it or worried that she'll say something to hurt your feelings or make you unhappy.

[roseinbloom]

Whoops, I thought this was your MIL, not your own mom. If you have a close relationship with her, I would definitely want to know what's up, too.

We do have a good relationship, but talking to my mom about anything she has done that upsets me is a no go. Seriously, she gets more upset and makes a big deal out of it, so we always keep quiet when she's upset us.

For instance, when she outed my losses on facebook, when I had not. Luckily I caught it fast and deleted it.

Or less than 48 hours after I had E I was snarky to her about not sending DD1's blankie to daycare and that she screamed through nap instead of sleeping... and she walked out of my house. I was exhausted, my boobs hurt, etc etc...so yes maybe I didn't need to be snarky, but really? and God forbid I say anything about how I bawled like a baby when she walked out.

Or when I asked to do thanksgiving this year because of E, and she freaked out that I was going to take away Christmas too and that I have been to her house all of 5 minutes since having E (all via text). (seriously though, we live 5 minutes away, makes no sense for me to pack up 2 kids and mess with their sleep to go there when she is one person to come here).

So instead I sit and be upset and don't tell her because that will cause her to get more upset and then make a huge deal out of it, when all I want is her to acknowledge that maybe she is overreacting and out of line sometimes and hurts my feelings.

Now BTW I texted her the MLS number to look at the house and now she has asked me twice if there is a granny suite, or a backyard big enough to build her a tiny house. She's trying to be funny but I am like what? lol

Ugh well we had an eventful night. I was making dinner and LO ate a piece of raw onion off the floor. Then she flipped out, at first we though it was bc it was spicy for her (which was prob part of it) but then she started gagging. It was stuck in her throat It took her almost 20 min of alternating gagging, spitting and crying to spit it back up. Poor thing. she is fine now

Chase hates textures. We've got him sucking on pizza crusts and those Plum cracker things, and DH even made him a tiny pancake this morning. If a crumb actually breaks off though, he gags terribly. So I figured maybe those Stage 3 with the little chunks would help. Silly me... I mean I think it'll help in time, but he wants everything puréed within an inch of its life right now.

[roseinbloom]

sunshineshades, without knowing your mom really, the last thing you wrote makes me feel like it might be a bit of jealousy. Maybe that she can't have that now, or maybe that she couldn't have it when she was your age. At least, there are some people in my family whose jealousy or discontent manifest in comments a little bit like that. Not trying to insert myself, and I'll drop it because it isn't really my business and I shouldn't be meddling in your relationship with her. Just hope it gets better.

Is it just edible textures that he dislikes, or tactile textures, too? We have a friend who is really in to sensory development and exposing kids to different textures early on and throughout the day so that they don't develop abhorrences later. Like thinking play dough is gross.

Bud gags a little bit when we give him non-puréed foods (except for finger-mashed shrimp?? Ew, I was more grossed out by doing that than changing his dirtiest diaper or vomit), and I thought that was a normal reflex early on. The fact that Chase is sucking on crusts and pancakes and crackers doesn't make it seem like he's got too much of a texture hang-up.

No it's just foods. And he doesn't mind sucking on things, it's when a crumb dislodges and he flips. He has the funniest grossed out face ever. I'm assuming he'll grow out of it, it's just new to me because DS1 was born to eat. EVERYTHING.

I have made it. Tomorrow marks the first day where we have 3+ weeks where we are not required to do anything or be anywhere. I am so happy about this I could cry. We have to get our house in order though because it has become a disaster since we've been running around so much. I really miss our cleaning lady but her price went up because our place got bigger, and we are still playing catch up from the move.

I've also started applying to places, but there's nothing much out there right now. womp, womp.

Thumbs up for the time to yourselves and for finally settling in to the move. Sorry about your cleaning lady and that the application process has been slow and frustrating.

Halloween is about being something you can't be. If there is anything I would love to be right now, it would be helicopter rich.
