Update: seeing my brother went great! It was strange but cool to see how different he is now at 23 vs being a scrawny 16 or 17 year old. It sounds like he is interested in coming for either Thanksgiving or Christmas too. My mom especially will be so happy if he does! I also stopped at a Carter's store this afternoon. So many cute outfits! I wish E could just stay in his little baby clothes for a year or so.
Now that I've been to the wedding/engagement shindig, I can explain what happened. They were not previously engaged, nor did she know he was proposing. They got her to dress in white with the pretense that they were taking family portraits and everyone was wearing white and navy. Everyone was in the house, and when they arrived, he took her to the side yard and proposed. When she said yes, he brought her to the garage, where the "reception" was set up with all their family and friends. He called the minister and he came and married them in their backyard. They had already talked about just getting married at the courthouse and not planning a wedding, so this way allowed for them to get married and it be special. I'm not sure how they got the marriage license and all that, but they had it.

carolyngrace, I'm sorry to hear that your LO is under the weather, it's so sad to see them sick. SO hasn't been feeling so well, so we're taking preventative measures to try to help LO from catching it but one of the methods we're trying can help a baby that's already sick.
Now the hippie in me is gonna come out, but this is just a suggestion. If you have access to some oregano oil (must be topical grade), I would dilute a drop or two (ratio 10:1) with coconut oil and rub it on baby's feet after a bath. Diluting it is a must as oregano oil is pretty intense. Oregano oil is supposed to be extremely helpful as an immune system booster. I take a few drops in a veggie pill capsule if I start feeling yucky. I would reckon a natural grocer may have topical grade oregano oil and coconut oil, or if you happen to know a Doterra retailer they may have some readily available. Good luck!

Walked to the farmer's market with LO and DH after skipping watching our cousin run the Marine Corps Marathon (sorry, not sorry). Anyway, DH and I were talking about a friend who is due in April - I said, "Can't believe she'll be 14 weeks this week already." DH: "yeah, almost halfway." me: "well, yeah, in 6 weeks." DH: "Oh yeah, pregnancy is 40 weeks, not 30 weeks." Seriously? You have a 4 month old. We JUST did that. Ridiculous.

Late to the party here. I spent the majority of the weekend at my parents house and their WiFi doesn't work for my phone for whatever reason.
Had my test Friday afternoon. FX for good results, which I should have Tuesday or Wednesday. Friday night my mom and I drove to my youngest sisters place for a thirty one party. Then I tossed and turned most of the night. I should have brought my own pillows.
Saturday I ran some errands, then went to my other sisters Halloween party. I bought a new coloring book and spent a couple hours coloring, because I'm an adult. Slept about 3 hours then woke up thanks to my gallbladder. Got some tylenol from my mom when she got up, then I was able to sleep another 2 hours or so.
Came home today and my kid was being a crank. He slept like crap according to H. Still 6 hour stretches, but we normally get 10+ hours. He was spitting up a lot too and kept spitting up tylenol...probably because in the 48 hours I was gone, he had given J nearly half the bottle. Half! What the heck. I know he is teething, but try other things first when he is crying, geez.
