Hey all, just checking in to see if you guys are surviving the 2's? I feel like the drama has increased in my house tenfold since he turned two. Everything is a complete affront and I am obviously ruining his life.

We are all good. I haven't been on lately. We are expecting another baby April 2016. We will find out the sex soon, I can't wait. My dad has been in a clinical trial since finding out he had stage 4 cancer in March, and we are all feeling so blessed b/c he is responding to treatment so well. He is on a drug called opdivo for metastatic kidney cancer. The Oncologist said the lung nodules aren't even measurable at this time. We have so so so much to be thankful for. I really hope you're all doing great.
We're hanging in here. Cam has been really clingy lately, maybe because he senses the upcoming change with the new baby, I don't know. I'm freaked out about how he'll handle it, but trying not to worry about it constantly. We'll see soon enough; less than a month until DS2 is due!
deeds1017, there are definitely days when we both cry, too!
clarkebar1013, I'm so happy to hear that your dad is doing well, and congratulations on your April bundle! Looking forward to an update on the sex!
lia1303, I hear you on the drama! Cam is so opinionated and he does not like to be confined by rules! Ha ha

lynnyloo, Congrats on the new house! That is so exciting. I hope you have a nice easy move.
mosy, 2 months away is soooo exciting. Glad you're feeling well. Do you know the sex?
deeds1017, thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it. And I will definitely keep you all updated.
lia1303, I am thinking this one is a girl. Actually, I will be shocked if it's a boy. Our son thinks he is having a baby sister also. However, we seem to be the only ones who think it's a girl. Everyone else says boy.

Yes, we're having another boy, EDD 12/18. Awesome because we haven't needed to buy a thing except another crib mattress! Ha ha

Hi all!
We're doing ok- busy busy! We still have foster daughter. DD2 is still a butt. DD1 is a little mama hen with the 2 babies. I'm staying pretty sane with the 3 little ones. 2 kiddos are really hard, 3 kiddos are not harder than 2.
I thought 4yo was the magical "things are better!!!!" stage. Nope. 2's are hell, 3 sucks with the three-nager attitude and independence, 4's bring lying and 3yo attitude on steroids. it's really fun when your 4yo is on the floor hysterical and refusing to go to time-out for jumping off the coffee table and then couch in front of the CPS caseworker. Thanks DD1.
My 13yo kitty went blind suddenly on Thursday. We took him to the vet, and the dx is (without biopsy and CT scan to confirm but vet is very sure based on symptoms and bloodwork) liver lymphoma that metastasized in his brain, and the brain tumor caused the blindness. He wasn't eating and lost weight but he is eating now. His eyesight seems to come and go a bit, and the other night he was playing with his favorite toy. But he definitely is sick. We put up the Christmas tree for him today because that is his favorite. But he can't see it now and is completely ignoring it. it is really sad- he usually lives in the Christmas tree.
The vet can't know for sure how long he has, esp without the CT scan and stuff, but she guesses a few weeks. I am devastated. I have had him longer than I've know DH. I got him when he was 8 weeks old. He is the best cat ever.
My other furbaby is depressed. I'm sure she senses her big brother is sick. He's not playing and chasing her anymore, and I can tell she misses it. She's also staying close to him. She's giving him his space and is not all up on him but if he's in the bedroom so is she, if he's in the living room she's in the living room.
I bought a minivan- pretty excited for that! Officially uncool though

Soooo sorry about the cancer But I'm really glad he is doing so well in his trial!

It's another BOY!!! Can't wait to meet him. We just found out this weekend. We waited until about 22 weeks b/c it was the only available Saturday date.
Congratulations, clarkebar1013 ! I'm so excited to have 2 boys. When we found out, H told DS that his best friend in the world was on the way.
That's what I told our son, too! I said, "UH OHHHH, your best friend will be here soon!" I can't wait to meet him. We are both so excited. Also, my dad had another scan yesterday and it showed no further growth, and the lung nodules are still there, but very tiny.

That is just awesome! Best wishes for your dad and the rest of your pregnancy!
Dealing with 2 year old sass and independence which means take forever sometimes. She really is generally so sweet and thoughtful. I'm hopeful the transition to big sister will go alright but fully expect jealousy issues. We've got less that 6 weeks to go and I've done very little to prepare.
Doing OK, I can't complain with her behavior at all right now overall. I am worried that the apple cart is about to be upset though as DS is overdue and will be arriving any day.
Also, DD's best friend (same age) is already potty trained and has been for months. Am I way behind on this? I don't think DD is ready, and especially not now with the addition.
