So glad it's the weekend, I'm exhausted and already counting down the days to summer vacation. We started looking at houses last week and found one we love already. Met with our banker last night to get approved, going through it again tomorrow with our parents then maybe making an offer. The only thing I'm nervous about is selling our house, we've never had to do that before. I don't know how we'll get everything done in time. DH is going to start chipping away at stuff this weekend, so that leaves me with LO while I also have report cards to write and units to plan eek! On the bright side, LO has gotten to spend lots of time on my parents farm this week because daycare is closed.

Just trying to survive the day. Solo parenting while DH is at his first day of drill. Em is being a total button pusher and I don't really know what to do with her.
Thankful they gave him a long lunch so he popped home to check on us.
LO is being remarkably tough, but when that pain medicine wears off she is a total beast! Thankfully she's eating and drinking fairly well, so we can continue to be at home.
kcrus I'm glad she's doing well! She must be so uncomfortable
It's not for the faint of heart. The only thing that makes me feel less guilty is that the ENT said the tonsils were HUGE. Even with swelling, her snoring is 1000% better.

Moms of 2+ somebody tell me it gets better. We just had a 45 minute meltdown because Conor had Em's blanket (that she hadn't used since she was a freaking infant). Ughhhh the struggle is so real

It definitely gets better! Hang in there Mama, my favorite part is when they start playing together. It just melts my heart when DD and M play and run together. They will always have the random meltdowns though 😉
First full day of M with his splint, we don't get the permanent cast until Monday. He did really well and is starting to get used to moving his leg better, he's started to try crawling/dragging himself along the floor, but the doc said to keep him as immobile as possible until the permanent cast gets put on, I never thought I would think Monday could come soon enough. DD has had a hard time adjusting with all of the extra attention that M is receiving. She has been complaining that her leg hurts too. It's a struggle to make sure that she is getting the attention that she needs and taking care of M and B. Hopefully we will get into a better routine. I am still struggling with some major guilt that M got hurt on my watch. We were at an indoor playground and I was putting the baby back into the car seat to get ready to go. I saw M on a climbing structure that I am usually there to help him off of and thought no way would he jump. I turn around to put B into his seat and he my name being called by the other moms that we were there with and there is M screaming and trying to stand but just collapsing every time he tried to put weight on his leg. People keep telling me it happens but I feel like I should have just taken the time to go over there before putting the baby in his car seat. It has just been heart wrenching watching my very active toddler be laid up and frustrated with the lack of movement. Thanks for listening! Off to drown some of my guilt in some wine the MIL brought over for me.
sgio7485 Such a cute pic and hugs for the arrival of AF. kcrus so glad she is doing well hope things keep getting better for you! megpie5 what a cool place for F to hang out!
nemomof2 you have three babies and two hands. There is only so much you can do! Try not to be hard on yourself if you can. It's not like you left him home alone and this happened- you took him to do a fun thing and he had an accident. Having worked in the ER, I can tell you that kiddos really do these things all the time. My own daughter was about two and bouncing on the bed- she slipped RIGHT THROUGH MY HANDS and split her face open, needing stitches. Sometimes even when you are literally right there they still find a way. Hang in there. You are a wonderful mom.

Ughhh nemomof2 don't be too hard on yourself. There's no way you could've known that would happen. I would've done the same thing you did. I hope you're feeling better after some wine and sleep.

And thanks ladies. Em was just super trying today. I just keep reminding myself that 2 is a difficult age on its own and this is just as much an adjustment for her as it is for us.
nemomof2 echoing what kcrus said! You have two hands and three babies, including a newborn! I hope things get a little better once he gets his cast. Hugs!
sgio7485 boo, I'm sorry about AF! ourcrazynavylife sorry Em is having a hard time with the adjustment so far. DS is acting out and melting down all the time lately. It has nothing to do with the baby and everything to do with his age, in our case. I hope she has a better day today! nemomof2, poor M, and poor you! I totally understand feeling guilty (I know I would too) but that could seriously could have happened to anyone--you can't be everywhere at once! You are a wonderful mama. I hope you guys are all doing well today.
nemomof2 like pp have said, it happens and it's not your fault. It sucks to see them hurt but you're a wonderful mom and M is gonna be ok. Being a mom is the hardest job in the world.
Is it just my toddler who seems to have special training in pressure points?! This kid CONSTANTLY nails me in the crotch, the nipple, random nerve endings I didn't even know I had...I feel like I've been in a boxing match since the day she was born.

Yours and mine must have been to the same training course. I feel your pain (literally)!

WTF? I don't remember any of my other kids being this bad!
We just accepted the counter offer on the house we're trying to buy! Spent all day cleaning our house for the assessment and planning to list it next Monday. F was not helpful, following me around making a mess, so I was a bad mom and put her in her crib with bubble guppies for 25 minutes so I could dust and vacuum upstairs lol.
