My FC/UO: I don't get all the fb posts with the yearly physical stats. Is anyone else really interested in that info?
Another FC I'm sitting in our lite back storage area with the fan on me while I'm making my techs do everything. I have a killer headache and just can't right now. Good thing it's slow.
I gave in and let Benjamin "quit" his swimming lessons!! Flame away but listening to his sobs all morning and screaming in the water was just too sad!
No flames here. I'm not a big fan of making kids do things they genuinely don't want to do at this age. If you force this issue, it could make him resent/fear water in the future. If you revisit when he's a little older, maybe not.
Thanks everyone for the support. I simply am not the wife I promised to be. Since having Jack I have battled depression, lost a father, put 2 kids thru 3 surgeries, lost 2 babies by miscarriage and am now dealing with a sick mother. Life has been more than tough and H is done. I am hoping to reconcile but it doesn't look good. Just taking one moment at a time and hope he comes around.

Honestly I do Gymboree with a mom who used to coach swim lessons and she said kids don't really "need" formal lessons at this age. It's important to work with them on submersion, blowing bubbles, etc. but you can do that as a parent. I have Dagny in actual lessons because she won't listen to me with kicking and stuff and she is a total water baby but it's better to not force the issue. I think if you continue working with him he'll be ok. A couple other good skills to work on are climbing out of the pool from the side (not a ladder or steps) and moving themselves along the side of the pool with their hands (hopefully that makes sense).

We do formal lessons in the winter (but not the summer) because it forces us to get to the pool with them. Plus, where we go is nice and warm which is great for little kids (and me!) especially when its cold out.

I really have no problems with lewispm, but I just can't get myself to like any of her fabrics. I find her patterns cute, but I cringe at every fabric she gushes over.

bantyrooster I'm so glad E is a little better this afternoon!
@irish223 so many hugs to you lady. You can always come here to vent or get support no matter what. You've been through so much lately and I think you've handled it with such grace and strength. I wish the best for you and your LOs.
We had DQ today for lunch. Sadie got sprite and an ice cream cone with her meal. She ate, it was food, and for now I am more than ok with that.
I am with you. I grew up with treats and I also was active. All in moderation. Gage is currently eating a popsicle since he let me cut his nails. I have 0 idea how much sugar is in one and do not care.

A lot of the stuff that is kind of trendy right now is not really my style at all. I think she's awesome and also a lot younger than me so I'm probably the one with the lame taste

I love all of the clothes she's made and the fabrics are just NMS. I couldn't picture them on one of my kids. I could see lots of people liking them though.

Thanks guys! I still plan on taking the kids swimming as much as possible. He has fun and swims when he can do his own thing. They were making him do the stuff that he was uncomfortable with, like putting his face in the water, and that scared him a lot. And really at 3 I don't care if he can do his floats and put his face in the water!
Hang in there irish1213 it sounds like your having a tough run!! I hope you have some great friends or family around. Also we are always here too.

irish1213, just huge hugs. That is so much one one persons plate and it would stress the strongest of couples. I hope that there is reconciliation if that is what you are hoping for too. You are not alone, you do have us! And whatever support you need I hope we can be there for you.
bantyrooster - So glad to hear E is feeling better!
irish1213- Sending huge hugs your way. All of those situations are extremely tough, let alone all of them at seemingly one time. I hope things work out for the best, whatever that might be. And please know we are all here for you anytime you need us.
irish1213 big hugs. You're an amazing laide and we're here for you.
Does YH know you're KU?
He does. I found out and we were both happy and then after a week he stopped talking to me and so our downward spiral began. Not really sure what happened during that week.

Cosette had her three year, no weight issues with the new doctor- Yeehaw! But the labial adhesion is back unbeknownst to me. Wtf. I have not been checking this since she's been out of diapers. No fevers to indicate anything. Apparently this is a forever ( or at last for the next few years thing) that we we have to check and medicate. I wish I didn't feel weird about it but I do. Damn catholic body shaming, ugh. Tonight was it's own special hell of us both crying about having to do this medication. No shame in bribing with everything I had.

xanthepants, I'm sorry you have to deal with the adhesion again. I always have to check Aubrey's "girl parts" because she hates getting wiped and I used to feel weird about it but now I just feel like I'm keeping her healthy. And yay for no weight issues!!! Were you able to fatten her up or is the new doc not as concerned about weight?

I can not imagine how hard that is on both of you! Hope she heals quickly!

somethingcleverer, I got a pound on her and the new doc wasn't as concerned with her Weight (which was good). Just her him as low and she wasn't worried.
