I have a wicked cough that made it tough to sleep so I am a sleepy person today. And my tea is making a lot of noise in my cup. Yes it's as strange as it sounds I have no clue why it is making noise but it is.
I think DD's lips are getting a bit dry has anyone put anything on their lips? She is sucking on them so I think it's mildly bothering her and why I bring it up.

I'm sitting here rocking S in the recliner. I made a rookie mistake though and didn't move the remote over here before I got him to sleep, so now I'm still watching MMCH. I'm tempted to try and move to the couch Where the remote is laying. Nothing much planned for today. The only thing I have to do is go grocery shopping. I may add in a stop at the park beforehand if the wind isn't too bad.
Aggie, I've used lanolin on DD, works really well.
DH is off all week, the public schools here are closed. So jealous. Though I can't really complain, I work today and then am off the rest of the week as well. We're going to check out another preschool for DS today. This one has infant care as well so we could move DD there as well if we like it.
Then, home to start the Thanksgiving prep-a-thon!! At least this year all the cooking can be accompanied by wine!

I already told DH to expect minimal housework from me this week. Turning all my efforts for the next 8 days to either DS or my NaNovel. Only 10.5k words behind schedule!
aggiebug feel better! badw0lf sorry for the rough night! Hope the appointment goes well.

DD has learned to make this loud humming noise (like loud, disapproving grunts) and its driving me nuts! I want her to get over it already.
We tried to go to the grocery store yesterday and couldn't find a parking spot. Not one. It was insanity! So instead we took DD to the free zoo, aka Petsmart. It was fun, but now I really need to go to the grocery store! Maybe I'll squeeze that in tonight after she's asleep.
Tonight is 9 month photos (3rd time's the charm hopefully!) and then a short grocery trip for T-day stuff. I'm afraid it's going to be pandemonium. My sister said they were out of turkey gravy at her Walmart already. I hope they are not out of the cornbread mix I like (and then I dress it up)!! I would be so sad...
The girls are being really good while I do laundry and clean the kitchen. I work tomorrow. Then it's packing and cooking/baking and off to my sister's on Wed and somehow I have to clean and prep for having company. The ILs are arriving Thursday night. Gahhh.
aggiebug I was going to suggest a lip & face balm stick I have by BabyGanics but it looks like you've already found a solution.
I didn't even know there were specific products for this. I will look into if my lanolin doesn't work thanks. Obviously this is something that didn't even occur to me until thus weekend.
If you were going to a cookie party in early December would you consider a pumpkin cookie? Or no?
Yes, it would be a welcome change from the standard Christmas cookies.
I just wasn't sure if pumpkin would be over done by that point. That would never be a problem for me but I know I am a pumpkin aholic . I would also need to make 10dzn cookies so that could effect my choice as well.

It's going to be a long night. I feel like I jinxed myself by getting excited that the sleep regression was ending. It is but DS is now sick with a cold and tooth 8 has broken the surface. I could use some wine if I'd get the chance to drink it between wake ups.

DS is on day 6 of diarrhea, but there's no fever. His highest temp has been 99.6. I have a call in to the nurse to see if we should come in for a checkup. I was originally blaming it on teething but his tooth came in and he's still having major diaper issues. I have no clue what's going on. He seems to still be in pretty good spirits, even with his little angry red tush. I've been giving him tons of naked time and lathering him up when he's wearing a diaper. He actually peed all over MIL last night when he was going around naked. She decided it was a good idea to hold him in her lap lol.
There was some major family drama today. I'm letting dh weigh in since it's his family but this is very unlike them to fight about anything. It all comes down to room arrangements at Christmas...so clearly it's pretty serious.
I'd love to hear what others think, I'll try to keep this simple. Family A - 2 adults, 2 kids Family B - 2 adults, 2 kids Family C - 2 adults, 1 kid.
So we all spend the night for Christmas but Family C basically insist on getting two bedrooms so their kid doesn't have to share. They do not visit that much and live 3 hours away so mil accommodates these demands and the cost of everyone else. Family A - their kids share, and the adults drive 40 min home to sleep in their own bed. That leaves Family B ( thats us) with 2 young kids to share one big basement room. That's clearly not going to fly but we'll have to figure something out with what were left with since all bedrooms are taken.
So really is it fair that family C gets whatever they want all the time? I feel like there is some emotional blackmail going on bc if they don't get what they want they won't come. And really the person who suffers is mil who just wants her family together.

Before I weigh in, how old are all the children and how far is mil house from yours?

hollydfromtn DS had diarrhea without fever for about week (7 days, IIRC, with the first and last days being not as bad) a few months ago. He was in good spirits, eating and sleeping normally, with plenty of urine so no signs of dehydration. Since it resolved on its own, I assumed it was a stomach virus. Had it gone on any longer, I would've called my pedi.
mishka29 family A parents don't want to share a room with their kid or don't want their kid to share a room with the other kids?

The nurse called back and wants us to come in tomorrow for a checkup. Hopefully it's nothing major.
Sorry I'm super late to the party, but school is out all week and our schedule is whack. I took a photography class for moms this morning; it was nice to interact with grown ups that aren't coworkers, and also learn how to get my camera out of "auto" mode. Then we had our nine month checkup, and groceries, so we've been at it allllll day. This is the first time I've sat down all day!
mishka29, would it be possible for the adults to have their own bedrooms and the kids all have a sleepover in the basement? I know your DD2 is young for that, so she'd have to go with you and YH, but for the other kids, would that work?
That would be perfect but family C doesn't want their kid (4 years old) sharing a room. They are all about keeping life low key and avoiding any overstimulation. Their kiddo never shares a bath with her cousins either.
To answer other questions-
The other 2 kids from family A are 4, 6 and share a room at home so fine to share.
We are about 45 mins away and we would go home but mil likes the idea of everyone staying so I don't want us to jump ship just yet.
Family A - the adults may stay if they had space but one of them has bad allergies so they use that as an excuse to leave bc they are bitter about always getting shafted.

Family A's kids share a room at home. they are also willing to share with their kids. But after getting a raw deal the last couple of years the kids want a room upstairs. Since I was pregnant and then had a tiny baby I usually got a pretty good deal. So I guess this year we get the crappy basement. Just frustrating bc family C never has to take one for the team.
