On the bright side I just got my bill from the hospital. Delivery plus 2 nights in the hospital. $30. I truly love Canada.

😳😳 I'm just hoping mind stays under my $4500 max out of pocket and every dr that tended to me was in-network...

To be fair we do pay a large amount in taxes. I think we're in a 35-40% tax bracket. And $75/person/month basic plus additional insurance. (paid by bf work though). So not really the "free" Healthcare people think.

Hello. I turned into a lurker this week after getting really sick. Again. A wicked sore throat and fever made the week a real struggle but today has been better.
Thankfully LO ha survived without getting sick for which I am very grateful.

I've probably missed stuff so hope everyone is doing ok and babies are letting you sleep more.

Not much to report really. Hoping to be around a bit more again.

H & I went out on a date night. It felt weird being with H and not having E. Olive Garden had way too long of a wait so we did Mexican instead it was meh. When we came home my mom didn't follow half of the instructions I left her some were no big deal but still I was annoyed when she left. My mom tells me E had a blow out and her but was all red, so I asked her if she used the cream I left for her on the changing table and told her about and she was like oh I forgot. 😡 I really bed to remember to not ask her to babysit again for awhile. So annoyed.

I know!

[pibblemom]

peaseblossom55, a date night sounds great! I think my mom would probably do exactly the same.

We're going on 2 hrs for our "first" wake up. She woke at 2, fell asleep on the boob by 230 and I waited til 245 to put her down, woke back up in 10 mins.

Rinse. Repeat. It's now 3:44 and I'm afraid to put her down again too early.

[ashtog]

Hi I miss you! I've been lurking lots too.

[ellabee]

The good: 4.5hr first stretch!

The bad: B had a massive poop after he finished nursing.

The good: H volunteered to stay up with B and rock him back to sleep after the poopsplosion.

The bad: I'm back up because DD peed through her pull-up and was all wet. I'm sure as soon as i fall back asleep B will be up for feed #2.

[peaseblossom55]

I'm up to pump. I feel so tired.

[meeggaannw]

Up for our first wake up, he was awake a couple times in the last 2 hours but went down quickly with his pacifier.
Feeding him a bottle now and hoping to get him back down before the sun comes up.

[lakegirl]

Dd did pretty well last night until 3. Then she didn't want to go back down. I feel like death so Mh took her downstairs till 6:30...but I think he just wanted to sleep because I was coughing and sniffling all night. My throat is killing me this morning. Good news is the kids seem to be improving and I'm only a day or two behind them. Hopefully this sickness will be gone soon!

Breakfast casserole just came out of the oven and the crockpot pulled pork is started. Busy day here. We're meeting friends for lunch because one is in town from FL and wants to meet dd. Then we have calling hours for our friend's mother in the evening. The inlaws will be over to watch the munchkins for that. Plus it's another nice weather day so I'm hoping for some outside time inbetween everything.

Oh! And banana cream pie. Mh made one last night. maybe I should have a piece with my coffee.

[ellabee]

Sorry about all the sickness lakegirl. But hooray for all the good food! I'm impressed your H can make a banana cream pie. My H is the self proclaimed "grill master" and basically won't touch anything else in the kitchen beyond boiling water for prepackaged pasta. 😂

[peaseblossom55]

I got another stretch from E of 1-7. I hope it's a reliable pattern for us now. I can't wait to take E for a walk later.

[pibblemom]

We were back up at 7am. So I'm running on very little sleep compared to what she had me used to during the week.

I have a big meeting with 70-80 people that I need to head at 1130. We moved it from last weekend because of an ice storm. My MIL is coming to watch C, and H is staying here with her so they should be ok. The meeting runs during her "usual" nap time, im hoping even though she's cranked up now, I can get her back on her sort of normal and get her down for her nap between 1030-11 so she sleeps the whole time for them.

Drinking my coffee and I just remembered I had a dream about drinking coffee last night 😂

F is one month old today! I still need to post her nb pics on the private board I'll try to do that later today.

[Deleted]

That sounds so nice carrots! Enjoy!

GL with your meeting pibblemom!

[pibblemom]

Thank you @orangcrush

Of course, C just fell asleep. An hour too late for me to be able to go back to sleep for a bit, an hour too early for her to likely sleep til I get back home. It really is difficult to be type A and a mom....

[rinny]

Ugghhhhhh the toddler has a 102 fever. He is obsessed with L, so hopefully we can keep him away without too much fuss.

[lakegirl]

Oh no rinny! So much crud seems to be going around right now. I hope it passes quickly and the baby avoids it.

[tex]

W is cuddling my boob currently. I BFed him instead of doing my normal pump but I'm gonna go upstairs in a little bit to pump anyways.

[ashtog]

lakegirl your H is amazeballs with all that cooking! You all need to Feel better though!

pibblemom lfs. C did that the last couple days- went from sleeping great to having two stretches with a 2.5 hour party period in between. What? Hugs and coffee friend.

rinny noooooooo. Sick toddlers are awful. Sorry mama

tex aww I love the boob snuggles. C stops nursing and I just let her snuggle my boob too cause I just enjoy the cuddles so much ❤

peaseblossom55 enjoy your walk!

[ashtog]

So I heard back from the hard drive repair guy and it doesn't sound good. He said it's going to take weeks to recover my files and some are already corrupt. But I believe in miracles and I prayed about it and I don't think God wants me to have a massive heart attack and leave H with 5 kids to raise, so I am believing it will all be fine.

I am so overwhelmed right now though. Not depressed, not over worked- just overwhelmed. I told H last night that where L is right now in his toddler development and getting into absolutely everything and no sign of stopping, I feel like I'm in for a fight before I even get up in the morning. It's so exhausting. And then cue the guilt. Because I love him so much and he deserves a mom who doesn't pray for nap time and bed time every day. Ugh.
It won't be like this for long... inhale, exhale, repeat.

[silvermelody]

N refused to settle until 11:30 and that required me standing and rocking her. Then she had her first blowout during her first wake up, so I think she was backed up and cranky about it. She gave me two 4 hour stretches but was really grunty through both of them so my sleep was not great.

Shower and grocery shopping are on my agenda today. And calling my mom if I can squeeze that in.

[vlagroupie]

ashtog I could imagine you are super overwhelmed and rightfully so! I hope you get your files recovered.
rinny sorry for the toddler fever, my kiddo had it earlier this week too. It took a few days for the fever to break, and I was nervous about baby but she seems to be in the clear so far.
Hoping to go out to the playground later this afternoon, we have amazing weather too. Yesterday we played in the cul de sac with the neighbors kids. We just moved here in October and the neighbors are so awesome but it sucks when winter rolls around bc we hardly see them, so yesterday was a nice change of pace.

The bf who went to a hockey game last night and then came home at 9 am is complaining of a hang over.

Anyone want to guess how many fucks I give?

I did something tricky. I told DS1 that daddy would take him to see Lego Batman.... and then I told Dad. I am excited for 2 hours of peace

[heybulldog56]

We went to brunch this morning at a place with bottomless mimosas. I had two and was most certainly drunk. Then I napped for three hours. I love when grandma visits.

Also, hugs for all in need.

[otepoti]

Everyone here has a cold... I have one snotty month old. Poor little thing looks so sad with his red eyes and snotty nose, how nice of big brother to share.
In other news finally turned a corner in the fussing all evening, Swaddling has saved me. Out of desperation I dug out the swaddle pod I had from M (but never used because M was far too skinny to fit it) and shoved F in to it. Bliss!!! he falls to sleep and stays asleep (minus the snotty cough every so often). its made my day and night a lot easier so I'm hoping that continues.

M has been a typical hyper 2.5 year old but he let me nap with him today, I have really missed falling asleep snuggled with him.

[peaseblossom55]

We went for a walk today and it was so nice. I also finally fit into my jeans again. So happy about that.
