Age: 15 months today! Where is the time going and how do I stop it?
Milestones: She now says thank you which is the cutest thing I've ever heard
Challenges: Sleep again...woke up 3 times last night. I never know how the night is going to go. It's utterly exhausting.
Funny/cute stories: Her saying thank you for the first time...over and over again. It was with my dad at their house on Sunday and it was just the cutest thing in the world. Everytime she would hand someone something she would say thank you because that is what we do. So cute.
How are you? Okay. I have my yearly gyno appt today. Oh the excitement I feel. Especially because I'm having problems and I'm so not wanting to talk about them.
QOTW: What are you most looking forward to doing with your little one(s) this spring? Easter egg hunt, going to the splash pad, the zoo, playing outside, ALL of it!

@enchanted - How did I not know (or forget) that you're PG?! Congrats, and FX for continued, wonderful news!!! And I hope your nausea stops. That sucks.
Age: 22 months in one week
Milestones: She can jump and actually get both feet off the ground. And now it's all she wants to do.
Challenges: Independence. It's becoming a struggle to get anything done, but I love letting her try first.
Funny/cute stories: She's picked up the phrase, "I miss you," so now she says it whenever she sees me after work. It's adorable and heartbreaking because I see so little of her these days. This little voice with a hug wrapped around me whispering, "I miss you."
How are you? Eh. Stressed at work, ignoring the 'I-kinda-want-another-baby-itch', trying not to strangle MH, keep up with the baby showers, weddings, retirements, and birthdays happening around me... you know... a typical Wednesday.
EDIT: But I'm getting a haircut today. Maybe it'll pick my mood up.
QOTW: What are you most looking forward to doing with your little one this spring? Digging in the dirt and going to the park. J loves being outside, which hasn't happened in a while. We're supposed to get another 6-10" of snow overnight here and I'm sooooo over it.

Age: 18 months (16 adjusted)
Milestones: Word count is up to 10. Her first canine popped through on Thursday. She is starting to stand more without holding on, and going from a squat to standing. Her physical therapist thinks she isn't far from starting to walk.
Challenges: Colds and canines. M and I both had a cold over the weekend, and DH was out of town. It was rough, but we got through it.
Funny/cute stories: M has decided it is her job to turn the lights on, and off, as she enters and leaves a room. She will basically throw herself at light switches as she goes by them when you are holding her. It took DH a little while to figure out what she was doing. He thought she was just being weird.
How are you? I'm going through a rough spot with our OAD situation. DH has already had the big snip, and I know having another would be medically irresponsible, but I can't help but wish we could have another. I really long for an uncomplicated pregnancy, a routine and normal delivery, and no NICU stay. Basically the exact opposite of M. The chances that I would ever have all of that are extremely slim. I know we have made the right choice, but dammit if it doesn't just suck sometimes. We haven't ruled out adoption, but it's really something we are considering right now either. DH is very happy as a family of 3.
QOTW: What are you most looking forward to doing with your little one(s) this spring? Trips to the zoo and beach. We are also starting swim lessons again.
3 years TTC, 15 cycles w/ RE(med & med/IUI), one angel 2/2012, and a cycle break rainbow 8/2013 born at 32w2d.
Severe Pre-E, HFpEF, PE, AMA & IF= OAD not by choice
Our little rainbow is finally walking at 20 months! w/ hypotonia, developmental dyspraxia, and SPD
Milestones: I think she's having a little verbal explosion. She's been repeating so many new words over the past few days. So much fun.
Challenges: Ugh. The whining. And the paci. I don't mind that she still uses a pacifier, but we're limiting it to only being used for sleep. She's not super happy about it. And she stashes them around the house where I can't find them so I'll randomly find her with one in her mouth. Then she gets pissed when I take it away.
Funny/cute stories: She got a dress up set for Christmas from my parents with some play jewelry and shoes. Today she was walking around with mismatched shoes on her feet, just so pleased with herself that she got them both on by herself lol. It was adorable.
How are you? Meh. Ok. Tired from pregnancy but getting really afraid of adding a newborn to this craziness in about two months. Also getting sad that Iris won't be the baby any more. She's still so little to me and I know she'll look huge and seem so much more grown up once the new baby gets here.
QOTW: What are you most looking forward to doing with your little one(s) this spring? Outside play. She LOVES playing outside. We've had a few nice days recently and I've let the kids play on the back deck off of our kitchen while I make dinner (with the door open). I love it and they do too.

@enchanted YAY for a good u/s! hopefully the next 6.5weeks pass smoothly and quickly for you, and the new meds help the nausea... (it's the cutest when Button imitates daddy... ) @boxerific we're at a really picky-eater stage too... makes me want to throw food. lol
Age: 19.5 months Milestones: We've got a 10th tooth! and he learned to really use his two molars (both on the right side conveniently) to chomp some cheerios Challenges: As mentioned above, he can be picky about eating at dinner time - didn't really eat much last night and we could tell when he was famished at breakfast and ate waffles, a fruit cup, an entire banana, and a bowl of yogurt... Funny/cute stories: he agrees when I call myself crazy (after dancing around with my hands in the air to entertain him after daycare lol) by saying, "YEA!" to my "Mommy's CRAZY!" How are you? meh - TFAS is currently in cycle#2 (waiting to O) a big thing this past week was DH's sister - her husband up and left her Monday while she was at work (after some TTC issues) basically told her, "I've fallen out of love with you and I'll be filing for divorce next week" so the fam (SIL especially) is kind of reeling...
QOTW: What are you most looking forward to doing with your little one(s) this spring? like alot of PP's = ANYTHING OUTSIDE. he loves playing in the snow (north NJ here...) but I've about had it - I'm ready for just sneakers and sun and swingswets...
Milestones: She's saying Momma now and she means me!
Challenges: Nothing major right now.
Funny/cute stories: We have friends with a little boy who is a few months younger. He's starting to walk on his own now but does some crawling too. They came over for dinner the other night and the two kids played, which was so fun. The next few days S started crawling around again. It was like she said oh yeah, I remember this!
How are you? I'm doing alright. I have a week off coming up. DH does not have that week off so I think S and I are going to be stuck at home a lot, but at least I'll get time with her. I can't remember if I have shared that I absolutely do not like my primary care "doc" situation right now. My doc that referred me to the RE left her practice and I believed she went too far for me to travel so I stayed with the practice. I had a PA who was good but she left a little while after I had S. The female doc wasn't taking patients so I had to go with the NP. Her bedside manner sucks. She told me, without looking at my charts, to never have another baby and to feel lucky for the one I had. She made me cry (after I left) but I was like look they found the problem and if you take the time to read my chart you'll see my BP was AWESOME when I was pg. Back in December I had to go in for bronchitis and she told me that I was going to have a stroke or heart attack in the next month if I didn't take this new med that would not allow me to breast feed and oh yeah talk to your OB about having more kids. (Because I'd asked for my thyroid meds back in case I do have an oops pg.) My bp's are 130's/80's by the way and hardly at a risk of immediate stroke. Anyway, I managed to locate my former doc and she did not in fact move far away but the name of her practice is the name of a city that is far away and don't I feel dumb. I called a few months ago and she was not accepting new patients but now she IS! I called this morning and managed to get an appointment for the end of May. I know it's a while but I don't need them very often and I am excited to get back to a real MD and one that I know I work well with. Sorry, long story with a long background but the point is that I am really happy about this!
QOTW: What are you most looking forward to doing with your little one(s) this spring? We have pretty decent weather here all the time so we'll probably keep going to the park and going outside to do stuff, which she loves. I'm just happy to spend any time I can with S.
Milestones:Adding a couple more words to her vocab. Climbing up/on/over/under EVERYthing. Pushing chairs over to things she wants and climbing up to get it.
Challenges:Alaina had her first stomach bug (she was later joined by me and 1/2 the family). I felt like she was finally starting to eat half decent again and now that kind of made things take a dive again. I feel like she went from a great eater to a super picky eater and it is stressing me out.
Funny/cute stories:Not sure that I should consider whining cute, but everyday she pulls her rocking chair in front of the tv and starts whining baby baby till I put on baby signing time.
How are you? Been better. Just getting over the stomach bug. It's been a rough couple of weeks around here. My milk supply really dropped from being sick. I decided this is a good time to start the process of no more boobie juice. I was planning on sometime soon, but it is emotionally harder than I expected.
QOTW: What are you most looking forward to doing with your little one(s) this spring? Breathing in fresh air that does not make the snot in my nostrils turn to snotsicles All sorts of things. I can't wait to take her to the park and let her explore the world around her!!
