I'm okay. It's my third day back at work. I have a lot of anxiety about MH being home with the kids all day, but he has really chilled out lately and seems to be enjoying it. So far so good.

DD is threatening to crawl. Once she figures out the coordination she is going to be everywhere. I think the corner of her third tooth is finally through.

I had a lol at my Dr's office today when the nurse asked me me about my sexual history. Um... yes, I am sexually active. How many partners? How recently are we talking here? I'm going to say 1. No, it's okay to ask, it's just I'm married with two kids, so...

valie - is your DH planning on being a permanent stay at home dad, or is this situation temporary? Just curious ...

Is semi-permanent an option? He's the SAHP until January.

valie, so glad things are going ok at home with MH in charge! How have you guys been doing with your marriage? I remember you said things were difficult a while back. Hope y'all are working through your issues. I'm always here if you need to chat! I'm in a similar spot right now.

[thebanich]

I'm the worst! Sorry. Work is crazy and MH has been working every weekend so I rarely have time to breathe!

[chimomma19]

Eeeeeeek I'm the worst too. I just was chatting it up the FB group and thought "oh shit, I haven't gone on TCF in a while".

[gizmo]

Hi all! I'm here. I haven't been on the site in awhile. Things are good..different. I'm back at work and hoping for a much smoother year this year.

K is fabulous, apart from having some ear infections (though she doesn't act like she feels them except at night.) She'll be 8 months next week. She has 7 teeth (they're popping through like crazy!), she's big (20 pounds) and she's crawling and pulling up. She's doing everything so much earlier than her big sister did. I don't really know what to do with that. It seemed like she crawled for a day or two and then started pulling up on the stairs and trying to get up them...SLOW DOWN.

Big sister is in kinder and loving it.

H and I are good. Not great, but good. At times I feel like we are as good as we're going to get, but then we have a wonderful day together and I remember that things can be really good. It's hard to explain. We get along. It's the roommate paradox. I have hopes that once we don't have young kids things will be different.

Posted too soon.

I meant to say that my dad has recovered from his heart surgery and we've seen him a couple of times. I haven't spoken to my mom in a month or two. I'm ok with that.

Even though I'm not really around, I hope that everyone is well and enjoying their littles so much.

gizmo - so glad to hear that your Dad has recovered from his heart surgery! That must be a huge relief. I once stopped talking to my mother for a year - it was necessary for both of us. Hugs and good luck on the school year!

thebanich - your H has been working every weekend?? Yikes! You are one tough mama!

[milkeyway]

I'm soooo bad about getting on TCF:( being a SAHM I feel like I never have time! I need to make myself get on here though and check in! We're still here and doing well!

[scorpioscuba]

I'm glad to hear you Dad recovered well, gizmo! And that DD1 is doing well in Kinder. DS started Kinder this fall too and its been fun seeing him so excited about learning!

thebanich, hope DH works slows down so you can catch a breath.

valie, I'm glad its going well with H at home with the kids though I'm sure it was tough to go back to work.

[NellieOleson]

@fish4812... Is that the right tag? Anyone?

I feel like she just disappeared all of a sudden.

[scorpioscuba]

@fish4182?

I'm not in a good place to talk about it, honestly. We're functioning pretty well day-to-day but there is a lot of history that needs to be addressed. That and I feel like it could swing back the other way tomorrow and I wouldn't know what to do.

I'm so sorry to hear you're in a similar situation *hugs*

[scorpioscuba]

Hugs valie 😢

[14joa31]

Sending you ALL of the hugs valie!!

[icequeen]

thebanich, happy birthday to your sweet little boy!
gizmo, it's good to hear from you! thank you for updating us on your kids! I can definitely empathize with the roommate paradox.
milkeyway, SAHM'ing is no joke! I keep trying to get on TCF more but time just keeps getting away from me during the day. I really should be in bed now but no...here I am! I made it. Lol. To one thread.

[germaphobe]

oh hey!!!! I am back at work now so I will be around more!!! yay!!!!!!!

[14joa31]

germaphobe - hey!! welcome back!

[reagan1010]

Hi ladies! I'm so sorry to have been mia for so long. Life happened! It's starting to slow down as much as it can right now and I look forward to getting reacquainted with you all and catching up!!

Just a quick recap...We moved from Ohio to Kansas when the twins were 6 months old. We needed family help. All of my family lives here, half of DHs family and this is where DH and I met and got married. It feels like home. My 6 year old DS loves having cousins close to play with and has made a ton of new friends in school!

Jordan is doing wonderful after having open heart surgery at 3 months old! Recovery was rough, I'm not going to lie, but we got through it! He was cleared for tummy time at 6 months old so he was really far behind developmentally. He has weekly PT appointments and has just started cruising! He is in a helmet due to so much time spent on his back as an infant, but we are down to wearing it only when sleeping! We just had a cardiac checkup and the hole in his heart that was patched has completely sealed! We were told he now has aortic root dialation but it is just something to keep our eyes on. The cardiologist thinks it might have been caused by his earlier defect. He is my amazing miracle!

Casey is doing really well also! She is my chubby, happy baby!! She is a social butterfly and into everything!! She is full of personality and never stops moving

Twins have definitely been a challenge, but I am truly blessed to have them!! I look forward to catching up with all of you guys and your sweet littles!!

[scorpioscuba]

Oh my gosh we're gonna need pictures of those cuties reagan1010. And welcome back!! 😄

[dizzycooks]
