Talkative Tuesday

[goldenlove3]

Ugh tgrimes1980. You really need to catch a break one of these days. I hope it passes quickly!

[goldenlove3]

My mood went from fine to annoyed in one email this morning. Ugh work is dumb. People made plans while I was on leave without communicating with the people that it actually impacts and I have to deal with it now. People suck. So glad it's a short week.

[goldenlove3]

Does anyone know if Kohl's will let you do a straight exchange? I bought a bunch of 9 month summer clothes a while ago during their baby sale and everything was so cheap so I don't want to return/re-buy. I just want to exchange for 12 month of the same thing. I don't know how to physically go about doing it though because I know some items might not be there anymore and I'll just keep those if that's the case.

[sophiegrace]

What does my child smile the biggest when I ask her if she's being sassy?

We've been up for hours and hours. Normally she sleeps until 8-8:30, but H just *had* to give her a kiss this morning. Yawn.

[sophiegrace]

Glad your getting some extra time with your H this weekend waitwhat!

Do you get Friday off goldenlove3?

Aw man tgrimes1980. All that sickness needs to GTFO.

[goldenlove3]

C does this when I ask if he pooped. Such a boy.

Oh and this morning we were dangerously close to poop being his first word. His noise of the week is blowing P's with his lips and he almost added "ooo".

[ClassyMrsA]

Sorry tgrimes1980. Hope it's short lived.

waitwhat I've had the Ls Easter stuff from my MIL for a month. I'll be glad to have that space in my linen closet back. Good news about your H's time off!!

goldenlove3 Yay got days off! I have no clue how Kohl's does exchanges. If it's no longer on sale, they might still make you pay the difference. If it makes you feel better, accidental words don't count in my book. It's gotta be intentional! Otherwise, I'm pretty sure Lilah has said mama, hi, and hello.

I hate when DH tries to say goodbye and it wakes up the girls sophiegrace. He's better about it now since he knows once Lillian is up that's it. He waves and kisses me goodbye silently now. I'm sure he's sad to not say goodbye to the girls, but it's way better for me do he skips it.

[goldenlove3]

Haha yea I wouldn't have counted it ClassyMrsA but I was still like "no, stop!" lol. And yea, he's said mamama a lot but I feel like it's still accidental at this point.

[goldenlove3]

waitwhat Yes, C does it. If I hear grunting I'll check the camera and he's using thrashing back and forth. I just assumed it was him trying to burp or fart. Could it be gas? You started solids, right?

[ClassyMrsA]

waitwhat Lilah kind of rolls around and ends up in weird positions. It wakes me up because I think she's waking up to nurse she's making so much noise moving around. And then I'm freaking out because she'll be in a corner with her face down in the mattress.

Lol goldenlove3. I'm enjoying the nonverbal nature of the baby right now. Lillian says all kinds of weird things on purpose. Luckily, so far she's not said bad words or called anyone a dick. She does like to tell me all about her poop though.

Anyone else's baby got this weird body head thrashing thing going on? J does it MOTN. It's like he's trying to get comfortable but can't quite get there. I feel like he just started doing this a few days ago and it seems to be lined up with when our sleeping issues started.

Yesssss

It keeps her from falling asleep and wakes her fully up if she's on the edge of going under. It's super frustrating. She thrashes her head back and forth like crazy, too. I'm convinced she'll never have hair on the back of her head.

Does J do any hair/ear/face grabbing on himself?

[sophiegrace]

Thank you for the reminder that I really need to work on swearing less ClassyMrsA!

[ClassyMrsA]

Morning ladies! I got some sleep last night and my throat feels a little better. I'm hoping that means it's going away. It looks better. Less swollen.

Lilah decided to be up early so she's currently in her swing back asleep. I'll get her up around 9 to get ready for the day. We are going to playgroup around the corner at 10. After I pick up dh, we'll go to the store so I need to make a grocery list. I also need to put away laundry and clean the kitchen. Yay.

Lilah is 5 months old today!! I'll measure her later and do a few pictures. My guess is 25" and 13lb 1oz.

Lol. I know some kids pick it up earlier, but we just reached the point where she repeats everything. It's been pure luck since we both swear still. Not as much as we did. I mention her not calling anyone a dick because that's my go to while driving. Mostly it's more that she won't use identifying language. I have multiple conversations a day like this:

Me: Lillian, which would you like? (I'll give her 2 or 3 options)
L: This one! *points vaguely in the direction of all of them*
Me: Which one? X, y, or z?
L: THIS one!!!
Me: Lillian, you need to tell me which one. I don't know which one you mean if you just say this one.
L: THIIIIIIS ONE!!! THIS ONE!!
Me: Ok. Here's x.
L: *screaming* No! No x! *falls on the floor crying*

[hangry]

+1 to head thrashing and ear grabbing

Even at nearly 3, daycare tells me when O is fighting his nap he pinches his neck.

Kids are weird man.

Fellow N16 mamas and especially healthcare professionals (I'm looking at you sophiegrace, and shedreamsincolor, right?)

Since E is still in the incubation peroid for potentially coming down with chicken pox, should I avoid yoga or other places where there are infants who likely haven't had the vaccine?

To be clear, she doesn't have chicken pox or symptoms yet but could develop it up to 21 days after exposure.

As long as the tags are still on, you have your receipt and they have the same item, you can do an exchange.  If they don't have that item anymore, you'll get a refund for what you paid.

Did that make sense?

It does! I bought everything online so I checked my email receipt and luckily it has the pictures of each item and links directly to it. I was able to quickly go through everything, pick 12 months and see what was still available in the store near me. I'll exchange those and just return the rest.

This is why buying baby clothes stresses me out!

Well this conversation sums up my life perfectly! Thank you 😉

tgrimes1980 we are competing for that Guinness book of world records spot. H, O and I all have the stomach bug to varying degrees.

I really hate daycare for this reason. I called the surgeon's nurses line and left a message asking if we should proceed since the surgery is in 1 week. If we push it back I'm going to have to keep him out of daycare until then to make sure he is healthy enough. So frustrating. I really need a break from all this.

[jubilantsquirrel]

lol ClassyMrsA! We also have daily conversations like that. Gotta love toddlers.

Hi Friends!

MH has a sore throat and a cough, which means he is obviously dying a slow painful death. Except he was magically well enough to go play basketball on Sunday and he's well enough to go to a concert tonight, but if you ask him to do anything the response you get is a loud pathetic groan sound.

And DS1 seems to be under the weather as well. Just a low grade fever but no energy or appetite and super whiny. Hopefully it doesn't turn into anything more.

[sophiegrace]

hangry since it's just another week or so I would play it safe. I would say chances are super close to zero that she would spread it though. Hmm. That's a tough one. I would be more worried about it spreading to someone in their first trimester who didn't have chicken pox or the vaccine. The fetus can get some pretty severe neurological issues because of where in the nerve tissue the virus goes to live.

It's baby romper weather today and the cuteness has exceeded even my high expectations.

Omg. I die.

ETF: cuteness not cutest.

In other J news, this kid is the clingiest baby out of all three of them. If he sees me across the room he starts screaming his ass off until I get him . Doesn't matter if he was fine and being loved on, he sees me and he's like "wait a minute!!" And totally loses it.

this is C and it's exhausting. He actually will peek over his shoulder to look at who is holding him and if it's not me or H he will lose his ever loving mind.

Pictures??

What temperature is OK for shorts and t-shirts? The Easter outfit I got for C is shorts and a button of t-shirt but as of now the high is only 67 Sunday. I expect it'll be higher than that and humid though so I'm guessing we'll be fine. Or will I look like an ahole?

kleigh are you vacationing this week?!

Hello gorgeous thank you for the page!

Oh yes we are vacationing and we got off to a great start yesterday with locking ourselves out of the house for hours and having to pay $200 for a locksmith to break in. That was fun.

We went to the audobon society's trails this morning and the babies clearly enjoyed it as they were knocked out once their head hit the car seats BUT mom found a tick on her so no bueno.

Aquarium tomorrow!

Ok now I have to go catch up!!!

[dashook]

Hi ladies. Probably a PNR; apologies in advance.

Yesterday I took the kids to Philly to hang out with my brother. I also got to meet up with a friend from my Jan. '15 BMB so that was really fun. D fell asleep in her carseat on the way home and actually slept for 7+ hours that way (I left her in it once we got back to the house). I'm not above doing it again tonight.

Tonight is seder at my mom's house so the day is mostly filled with prepping. Right now though we're at McD's so one of my mom's friends can meet D while DS plays in the playspace. I definitely just reprimanded someone else's kid for pushing my baby boy. I give no fucks.
