Morning lovelies! I missed you

[byjove]

Sorry I've been a bit quiet. I was in a rough place and feeling weirdly emotional. I ended up getting my period on Friday (first one in 5 months) and it suuuuuucks- it feels like that post partum period after giving birth- so I am hoping that explains most of it. Margs is finally feeling better and pointing up a storm. She is a cheeky little baby! She's starting to eat again too. I finally cut all grains out of my diet and Margs is now only waking 2-3 times a night. She's giving us 7 hour stretches in the middle of the night. Can't be a coincidence, right? I'm still dog tired, but glad things are heading in a better direction. I saw the Fantastic beasts movie and thought it was terrific!

Also, wishing you all lots of coffee. I forgot the valve in Margs's bottle this morning for daycare. They went to pour a bottle and it all went out the bottom. Oops. That's what I get for neglecting my morning fix

Hugs byjove. I really hope this means you guys are turning a corner with sleep!

My kid was soooooo excited to go back to school. You and me both, kid. Longest week ever. I need to make plans for Christmas break or the older two are going to kill each other.

My baby is wearing 2T pjs.....and they fit her really nicely. I mean this particular brand runs small. But still.

Also, you know you have too many kids in diapers when you can tell who pooped by the smell. And when you can't decipher who it is, it just means they both pooped. My life is so glamorous.

LOL at the poop!

Morning! MH is at the pediatrician with C. Hoping to have some answers and get him back to healthy soon. Yesterday was so terrible - he was just crawling around crying and laying down on the ground, then he'd come over for a snuggle and then push me away and start crying again - I could not comfort him. Rinse and repeat, all day. Broke my heart.

MIL said she would get us a second convertible carseat for Christmas, to keep in MH's car, which is super nice of her to offer! Amazon had a great cyber Monday deal on the Graco 4-Ever this morning, but it's already gone I need to dig back through threads here & on FB and see if I can find a cheap, good second seat alternative. I don't want her to pay full price for a seat we won't use often, but I also don't want her finding a cheaper alternative on her own without us having any input on brand/model. She is known to buy things off e-bay or local b/s/t groups so we wouldn't have proof of no accident history or a gift receipt, yikes.

geners, that sounds so much like Margs last week. It was awful. I hope some antiobiotics will set him right toot sweet!

Thanks!! FX. I'm so glad Margs is starting to feel better, and I hope you are, too! You were missed

I'm so happy you're getting sleep byjove! And hugs. I hope you're feeling better now.
We saw Fantastic Beasts on Saturday! So good!!

[byjove]

HelgaHuffle, I can't wait for more movies in the series. It was kind of fun to see the grown up side of things.

Oh and so far DD seems to be doing ok with cashew milk!! We will watch for a while before I let my supply drop, but this seems promising!

Yay!

[byjove]

Hi! I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I'm here and been lurking. I've just been feeling kinda antisocial lately. The first holiday without my mom had me kind of down plus we've been moving and dealing with issues with my mil. So all that equals to me being blah.

I've been around but just haven't had it in me to post. I hate when all I have to say is negative and I don't feel as though I've had much to contribute. Hopefully I can get over this kick and be more social.

[byjove]

kida, I completely understand with the blahs about posting. I hope it is temporary. Know that we are here for you I am sure your mother was with you in spirit.

[obscurereference]

Hugs kida. I completely understand.

[kida]

I hope it's temporary too! The next few weeks we will hopefully be settling in to our new place then DDs birthday (what??!!!) So hopefully after that's all done and everything settles down I'll be more active. Right now I feel I have much more bitching and moaning to do than happy chatting and I hate being negative all the time lately.

It just keeps hitting me that I won't talk to my mom on Christmas or video chat with her during DDs birthday. It's making me feel antisocial. Not just here but irl too. I just haven't had much to say lately but I've been actively trying to work myself out of this slump even if it's more comfortable to be slumpy lol. I know it's just not fair to other family members who are trying to be involved with everything.

Then mil has been making me extra crazy lately so that makes me withdraw even more to not deal with the feelings she brings. Ugh it's hard not to wish all this would hurry up and settle down because I know I should be enjoying her 1st bday and real Christmas.

[byjove]

kida, That is a lot. Just so many hugs

[geners]

So many hugs, kida. You are welcome to post whatever you are feeling here at any time - doesn't have to be all rainbows & sunshine! We are here for you
