Thursday randoms go here

[thatgirlrachel]

We are almost to Friday, guys!

[obscurereference]

This is really dark because it was first thing this morning, but I turned around and the baby was doing this (pdq):



Umm. How did she get up on the chair?!

[gdaisy09]

I'm dragging. my brain is full of move related things. I'm beginning to think that it would be better for my productivity at work if we just get the move over ASAP and I can start telecommuting rather than dragging it out so I spend my day thinking about move related things rather than work.

[thatgirlrachel]

obscurereference, That is too cute (and crazy!).

For those not on Facebook, I found out last night through social media that our ped is closing his practice and joining another one. Right now the plan is to follow him to his new location, even though it's an hour away from us. We live in BFE and there are no other local peds I prefer to see. It's frustrating, but it is what it is. It is in the same city as the nearest mall, so there's that.

[HelgaHuffle]

Someone save me!!

[byjove]

HelgaHuffle, I'm sending out the gang

[byjove]

obscurereference, I love how your big is all like Immajustgonnawatchthishappen lol. Margs has been trying to climb on things just like Clara does it. You girls are cute! I don't know if I've caught a pic of them before
thatgirlrachel, thumbs up to the mall

[byjove]

Well poop on a stick, guys. I went to the dentist this morning and I have 3 cavities. AND my bite gaurd has messed up my bite so that only my back molars touch on either side and basically I am screwed. They were threatening old school braces, which I had 20 years ago. NOT HAPPENING! Ugh. I may have to stop wearing my bite gaurd but then teeth clenching. I hope they can come up with a brilliant plan. I don't know how to sleep without that thing. I should have done a better job with my dental care, but family.

[obscurereference]

byjove Boo for cavities and not being able to use your bite guard. I really need to go to the dentist myself....

And yes, that's pretty much DD1's reaction everytime I exclaim about the baby doing something new and dramatic lol. She's in a lot of pics observing.

Also, I'm having dejavu. I think I have a pic of DS doing the same exact thing on a chair with the bookshelves. I'll have to look lol. This third kid thing is a lot of dejavu.

[obscurereference]

lol. Here's DS at almost exactly the same age as the baby.



Serious dejavu. They must be related or something.

[gdaisy09]

byjove, I had my first cavity ever filled this summer, the dentist basically said "yup pregnancy is hard on teeth". I'm a clencher too, forever I relied on my retainer to keep me from clenching, but that got broken last year and it's been a real problem. I've *heard* from another friend with clenching/TMJ issues that she takes a muscle relaxer before bed when it's becoming a real problem. I've had a few TMJ driven migraines recently, I'm going to ask about it at my annual at the beginning of december.

[thatgirlrachel]

byjove, Yuck to cavities! What about the invisalign braces? Would those benefit you at all?

[thatgirlrachel]

Also, I was just telling H that I need to make us both dentist appointments soon. This thread is yet another reminder!

[byjove]

gdaisy09 , yes, pregnancy is definitely hard on teeth! My mother never had cavities until she got pregnant so I make it a priority after pregnancy to go in (lol at priority, but I hadn't been since Clara was a baby). I wasn't experiencing any symptoms. I'll need to explore what other options I have. It is definitely all stress related.
thatgirlrachel , he said invasilgn wouldn't be able to bring my bite back together, just straighten out my teeth.

[byjove]

DoesItComeInPink, I am so sorry to hear about your friend. What a tough day for you. Big hugs to you

[geners]

C had his best night of sleep in two months last night. One wakeup only. ONE! The only difference was that he was not in his sleep sack (after the blood, sweat and tears that went into getting him into his nighttime diaper and pajamas - full on hysterics every night these days, argh - we realized it was a little warm in the house and we sure weren't changing him again so we left off the sleep sack). So either that was the magic trick, the sleep training we've been working on recently is finally sinking in, or it was a unicorn night never to be repeated. We shall see. I imagine it was a combination, but MH walked into the room this morning and said, we are burning all the sleep sacks. Haha.

[geners]

I'm so sorry, DoesItComeInPink. I hope the surgery is successful and your friend will be okay.

[thatgirlrachel]

DoesItComeInPink, Lots of hugs to you.

geners, So glad C had a better night of sleep!!

[COCO]

DoesItComeInPink sending well wishes to your friend. My stepsister has had brain surgery twice - once in her early 20s and again in her early 30s. It's a difficult process to witness, I can't imagine being the person who has to live it.

My two randoms: I feel like I need a good 10-15 minute ugly cry episode so I can let everything out and then move on. Alas no tears. My husband passed his immigration test this morning. Next step is ceremony where he pledges his allegiance to USA. I'm so excited for him!

[thatgirlrachel]

COCO, Yay MrCoco!!! That's awesome!

[byjove]

COCO, awesome news!!

Congrats to your H! And, very big hugs to you. I am sorry you are struggling. Vent here any time you need to

[RoLoMa]

Yay Mr. COCO!

Hooray for a good night sleep geners! Fingers crossed it sticks.

I hope you find a good alternative to braces byjove. I had braces forever ago and my teeth have moved back since I stupidly didn't wear my retainer. I am planning on a mouth overhaul in the next few years but need to save up the money. I hate that I let it slip.

Positive thoughts and vibes to you and your friend DoesItComeInPink.

I dropped another pumping session today. I am now down to only one a day! M is only take one sippy of milk a day at daycare and that will transition to WCM over the next couple of weeks. The end of pumping is in very real sight! We are still nursing at wake up, before dinner, and at bed (plus lunch on the weekends) and will continue that for as long as we are both happy doing it. Can't believe my sweet boy is getting so grown!

[COCO]

Omg.. I am so mad at my 3 year old. He told me to come look because he had an "accident." He f'ing peed in his toy box!!! His toys are literally swimming in pee. I need a time out... I don't even know how to respond in a productive way right now.

[obscurereference]

Wow COCO....just, wow. I don't even know what I would say or do. I'd probably go lock myself in the bathroom or something I'd be so mad.

How long has he been potty trained? Or training?

[HelgaHuffle]

COCO Oh no! I'm sorry.

geners Yay sleep!!!!!

byjove Sorry about the cavities. I had 3 filled in March. Now I need to get my wisdom teeth out.

Well, today was exhausting. The 3 year olds fought most of the day. My H keeps making comments like 'and you want a third'. Sigh...I told him it's different when they're your own kids lol.

The kids are asleep and he's gone to get ice cream now.

[byjove]

@helgahuffle aww! You deserve that bowl of ice cream!

RoLoMa woohoo!

COCO JFC! There are no words. I'm so sorry.

[13liza]

COCO oh my you've had a rough day. I admire your patience with your 3 year old.
geners hope you have another great night of sleep!
byjove cavities suck. :(
DoesItComeInPink glad your friend is doing well!
Hugs to anyone I missed!
I just signed a contract for new windows. We're also doing siding, but that won't start until January so we get the winter discount. I'm kind of freaking out the my house will be somewhat under construction in a month. Trying to remind myself that it's just windows and it won't be that bad. Right??

[gdaisy09]

13liza we did windows last year, they were totally a quick project. Painting/staining was the longest part of the project

He's been PT for 5 months. I was playing with his sister when it happened. I'm inclined to say it was attention seeking behavior but I'm not 100% sure.
