Board Check-in 7/17

[dashook]

Good afternoon dearies!

How are you doing?  How are things in your life and family?  Any weekend plans?

[dashook]

I guess I'll start!

Things are pretty good over in dashookland. Baby boy turned six months last week and is generally awesome and hilarious--I'm loving this age! Plus, he's sleeping better and it's had a HUGE impact on my overall quality of life these past few weeks.

My current job is ending in about 6 weeks so I'm very actively searching right now, which is kind of a drag, but I'm trying to be proactive and stay optimistic!

And, for the weekend we don't have too much planned, just heading down the Cape tonight and doing whatever Cape-y things strike our fancy tomorrow. I'd really like to get to the beach if possible!

Hope you all have a great one

This weekend is probably going to consist of breastfeeding, Pokemon, and Minecraft because my step son is with us for the weekend.

I'm doing well, just tired and looking for an online job + online classes so I can be doing something while I am home with baby.

My family life is wonderful. My FI has been a lot more affectionate since the baby isn't inside of me anymore so I'm taking advantage of the extra cuddles and kisses while they last haha.

Things are kind of strange in my household. Finn's dad lives abroad, so in summer he stays with him continually for 4 weeks. Yesterday was the half way mark for his staying over, and I'm so excited for him to come home already. The peace was nice for the first two or three days, but mostly I've just been missing my little boy.

But, on the other hand, I'm also getting ready for IVF next month, which is very exciting. Its been a long time coming, and knowing I've only got a few weeks left is making me feel so anxious.

This weekend, we aren't up to much. We decided to re decorate our living room since Finn isn't here and we just have to do the finishing touches now.

Congrats on the birth of your LO ladyannibal !

dashook, You are giving me hope that there is an end to this sleep regression. Z turns five months on Tuesday and I am so over the sleep issues.

We've been packing this weekend. We move in less than a month! There is so much still to do. I'm trying not to get overwhelmed, but it's not working.

[dashook]

ladyannibal, so cute about your FI
morveng, how exciting about your upcoming IVF--FX the next few weeks fly by for you!
shanniegal, ugh GL with the moving; it is always so hard and packing is the worst.

I think this is my first time posting over here.. I'm peeking out of the bushes more now that A is 4 months and I'm somewhat in the swing of working, momming, and keeping up with TCF lately!

Things are good here, mostly. S (DD1) is turning 4 next month, so I've been trying to get her into prek here- she had her interview Friday and we should hear by the first week in September. Fingers crossed she gets in, because she needs the social development (I SAH other than a few months of her life so far, now I've been working for a month, but around my Hs schedule, so she's not been in any school/ daycare yet). A is just a big ball of giggles, she's 4 months and thankfully sleeping pretty well. I'm waving at shanniegal from March 15 I've been sick for about 2 weeks with a sinusy situation, but I'm going to the doc tomorrow!

All you ladies with outside babies gives me hope that one day, I won't feel like a ball of pain and misery lol. This baby is more than welcome to come any time, starting next week, otherwise I might die. We went for a walk downtown Saturday, bad idea. I figured I could walk the hip pain out, buuuuuut apparently sciatica or SPD or whatever this is can't be walked out. In fact, walking makes it worse. Lol. I'm planning on being a vegetable until I go into labor.

[dashook]

snarkysparklefart, welcome! GL with the pre-k stuff, I know that can be stressful!
kaeguri, hang in there, girl--the end is in sight!

Doing well here. DD is walking on her own now so there's never a dull moment Hearing about all your pregnancies, new babies, and holding my friend's 2 week old last weekend is giving me baby fever!!

Baby fever is brutal! I just started getting it again, and my LO is only 3 months. I know the struggle!!
