September is here

Happy labor day y'all.

We decided to close out the pool season by going to the pool for the first time as a family 😄. S has been very anxious about her face in the water, something happens today and she figured out it can be awesome. Hooray. I knew it would click one day but honestly thought it might be next summer 😄. It will be interesting to see how swim lessons go tomorrow.


Speaking of tomorrow. PreK starts hooray!

Hey there! We had a nice relaxing day together and it's back into the swing of things again tomorrow. Boo.

Lately N has been crying at night that she either wants snuggles or to sleep in our bed (which is not an option in this family). I don't know what's up with that or why she waits til lights out to ask for snuggles...

aggiebug how are you doing? How are your migraines?

[aggiebug]

@freemkin S has really started that to. For her she has hot the phase where she is scared of the dark. She now has a light in her bed to use until she is really too fall asleep it has helped. Just like you bed sharing is not an option here.

Migraines are good thanks for asking. We got them under control before stopping meds and I generally don't have any after first tri. I have had a few recently but I know that is due to not drinking enough water (thank you nausea). Neurologist and ob confirmed meds I can take first tri so I am good. Going that will be good soon! On was like now this drug (naproxen so an NSAID) we say no too because x,y,z but it is ok to take occasionally until a certain point. I assured him that it was only if necessary are definitely not out of first tri. I really like this guy.

G went through a phase in the spring that he wanted to sleep with us or for me to sleep with him. He’s never bedshared so it was strange. I ended up laying with him to fall asleep, which I’ve also never done. That phase felt like it lasted forevvvvvver but in retrospect it was only 4 weeks or so.

aggiebug how was first day of pre-K? And did S do better in swim?

[lilyelayne]

We had an awesome Labor Day. Burgers & swimming at my ILs then we had the DnD group over and after our game session we made fajitas for everyone.

Work has been keeping me very very busy the last few weeks. Today was a mess. Im hoping that I can do a couple of hours WFH tomorrow and catch uo a little before I'm back in on Thursday.

V has been very moody lately and won't go to bed on time unless hes exhausted. He calls me in several times. I'm not sure of the best way; I've been going in to reassure him but that probably just encourages him.

[aggiebug]

lilyelayne I am glad you had and awesome labor day weekend 😊

S had a great day at preK came home saying it was the best day ever. She was so tired though she had a headache and fell asleep within 10 minutes of getting home, so we didn't do swim yesterday she needed sleep. She was actually disappointed which is crazy, I might call and see if they have availability Thursday.

[aggiebug]

kartish sorry work is so busy, I hope you can catch up.


These kids and their sleep! Must be a phase. I hope he sorts through it soon for your sake.

[lilyelayne]

kartish hope you catch up on work today!

[dreemkin]

I'm glad we're not the only ones with the sleep issues - thanks for the comradery! We talked through some things with N and this has seemed to help bed time the last couple days.

kartish I hope things ease up
lilyelayne sounds like a great time

It's been busy here! Gatsby had his surgery today. He seems very out of it which is probably good for not feeling pain (hopefully). It's sad to see him like this but it's going to be hard to keep him from jumping on the couches once he's feeling like himself.

[lilyelayne]

Sent out a newsletter & a reminder email about the first PTA meeting next week. The time was wrong on both 🤦🏻‍♀️

[aggiebug]

Oops lilyelayne it happens but do frustrating.

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne. Hugs. There are worse things!

[dreemkin]

So, just bad timing but H is gone on a friends weekend... (yeah...when do I get to do that?) and today has been so hard/frustrating with Gatsby. He is like my shadow and since we confined him to the kitchen, he gets upset if I leave, etc. My parents are coming over tomorrow. Thank goodness; hoping for some relief just from doing everything with him and the girls by myself. They have been pretty good but it's just a lot because he's so needy. H owes me big time...psh, yeah right.

[kartish]

lilyelayne oh shoot hon, thats rough. I hope people catch the update and remember the correct time.

dreemkin, that's a lot on your plate. Sorry that Gatsby's recovery is all on your shoulders. And I hope your pup starts feeling better soon.

Thanks for all the support guys. I did catch up mostly and next week I can finish catching up. I'm off this weekend and its packed full of things to do. We are going to Peach days in DH's hometown this morning and the boys have a birthday party tonight. Then Sunday I'm going to take DH for his birthday brunch and we have family pictures in the afternoon.

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin hope today is easier all around & Gatsby is doing better! Also, schedule a friend/sister/solo weekend getaway for yourself!

[aggiebug]

College football Saturday here. I made husband get out early because I knew this afternoon would be in front of the TV and the kids would drive me crazy. Now we are watching the Aggies vs Clemson. Big game! We aren't doing awesome at the moment but plenty of time left.

[lilyelayne]

SIL and I went to see IT in the movie theatre. DH & G are at our local university football game. I just picked up J from my IL’s house. (How many initials & acronyms can I use in one post?) My uncle brought live crabs from south Louisiana & boiled them today so we’re going to my parents’ to eat shrimp creole & boiled crab and watch the LSU game.

[dreemkin]

Thanks guys. Even though I was diligent getting up with him at night when he stood at the end of the bed, I must have missed a few times because there were a few spots in the bed. So I washed the sheets and replaced but added more to catch some of the accidents. Gatsby is similar today with the little leaks and accidents. But his urine is looking less bloody and the upside of him going in the kitchen (where we are confining him) is that I can monitor the color better. Thank goodness for the swiffer wet jet!
