How's everyone doing today?

[aggiebug]

Hidey ho. I am truckin' along. Not a lot on our plate today. Glad H has tomorrow off but Wednesday 4th is just so awkward. One of those things I never really thought about as a kid, I was just always off 😄.


dreemkin how is A today?

[kartish]

Just got back from getting the boys haircut. It was A's first haircut!

Other then that, it's tidying up for a BBQ tomorrow. Oh, and firework shopping. We'll probably do some fireworks tonight and maybe roast some Smores.

So V has been into pretending to be creatures lately, dogs and dinosaurs mostly. And last night we went out to eat, and were seated next to a other family with young kids.

While waiting for our food, V started barking. The little girl at the other table whipped around and hissed at him and then started meowing. They were going back and forth like that for a bit, till the food got there. It was all pretty quiet, considering, and pretty cute.

So A is better today but now N has it. We are changing up our traditions to accommodate this. I'm more concerned about the fourth not pulling off (with illness and weather). And then we are going on vacation soon so...yeah. H has off the 4th and 5th which is nice.

Omg kartish that is amazing!😆

dreemkin I'm sorry N is now sick

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin hope everyone is healthy for the holiday

I need to nap more. J sleeps well for a newborn so I didn’t really realize my sleep deficit is growing, but it hit me today.

[dreemkin]

Happy 4th for all those celebrating - hope you have a wonderful day! 🇺🇸🎆🎉♥️💙

[lilyelayne]

Went to my ILs for swimming & lunch, then home for nap. I had a lovely nap myself & am still in bed snuggling a sleeping baby. DH and G went back to the ILs.

Happy 4th ladies! Hope everyone got to enjoy some family time today!

[kartish]

Happy 4th of July! Hope everyone is enjoying a fun and safe holiday!

[aggiebug]

Today is not Monday, today is not Monday, today is not Monday. I am going to need to repeat that all day, this kid week holiday is just confusing 😆.

So today N is complaining of a sore throat and it has red little blisters (?) on it. Parenting has no manual on this type of thing. So we're debating on taking her and maybe A in too. I have had a sore throat to thinking it was post-nasal drip. And now my ear hurts this morning. We are a bunch of fun ones over here.

But we had a fun fireworks show!

[lilyelayne]

I have a friend I went to school from 1st grade through college & then we were roommates the year after college. Last we talked he told me his wedding in September is kid friendly, but I just got the invite and it says adults only. He’s not the type to be super involved in the wedding planning so probably it’s a decision his fiancée made and didn’t loop him in, but I’m unreasonably sad about it. I mean, I wasn’t planning on bringing G because it’s in SoFL and it sounded like a nice getaway for me & DH but no way I’m leaving my not-yet-3mo-old home.

The wedding is at a hotel so if I can figure out someone to bring with us I guess I could swing it, but that’s doubling the price of the trip (flights/hotel room) 😩

dreemkin glad y’all got to do fireworks despite illness. Feel better!

[kartish]

lilyelayne that's a bummer, do you think you could talk you him about the baby? If they just don't want kids running around they may not mind an infant? Hope you can still make it either way though.

dreemkin I'd probably take them in, in case it was strep. Glad you guys still could enjoy the holiday and fireworks! Feel better soon!

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne that really puts a damper on the wedding. How about bringing a family member and getting a suite? I know it would end up being more...

So we took the girls in to doc. He said HFM and he's been seeing a lot of it lately. our first case of it. N has developed the rash on her face and arms. Anna seems to be getting over it already and never had a rash - just the sores on her throat. I figured it was a virus, but since we are leaving on vaca soon I wanted to make sure it wasn't strep! I'm pretty sure I gave it too with my sore throat and ear ache. Now the girls are watching H play a video game and I am enjoying a cup of coffee & listening to an awesome thunderstorm that has rolled through.

[lilyelayne]

Thanks, y’all. It was just such a shock because when we chatted 2 weeks ago he said bring the kids, make it a long weekend, go to Disney. I don’t think he and his fiancée were on the same page? We’ll figure it out I hope.

dreemkin HFM sucks. Hope it passes quickly.

It does really stink. I think a not yet e month old is an age that exceptions can be granted. That age really can't be away from parents that long still. I would send him something, don't ask to be special. But say hey we are really excited to come but I can't leave my newborn for that long so if he can't come with me I am not sure we can make it. I will be so sad to miss! And see what happens

[seamonster]

dreemkin T&Ps. HFM is awful

[kartish]

dreemkin how is everyone doing? HFM is lousy, does the doctor think you'll be better by vacation time?

Thanks. N is not great. The rash broke out pretty bad on her last night. Some places worse than others but she's being a trooper today. I went to immediate care this morning and I have two ear infections in my left ear and probably a sinus infection. I have an antibiotic and ear drops... we are debating maybe pushing back our trip a day or two to see if N feels better. Even though I'm miserable today, I should he better in a few days with the meds in me. Sigh, why do these things always happen when we have hard plans grrrr.

You do have such bad luck! I am sorry you are slammed with illness in your home, hopefully y'all recover quickly and can have a fun vacation
