We leave tomorrow for home so I shall be packing and organizing today and since we need to hit the road early I doubt I stay up to see the ball drop. In other news I have a sore throat and I don't feel 100% not awful just not great. Blah.
It's good to be home. I've got a friend coming over in the afternoon, and that's it for today, unless we decide to go to my mom's for her big NYE dinner.
aggiebug hope your sore throat doesn't turn into something worse
We'll be having a mini braai for dinner tonight. DH is going to skip out of work early for the Canada/Sweden world junior game, so we might beach afterwards.
DH's passport came yesterday and they posted visa appointment dates for the next year, so it's going to be a very paperworky weekend.
We're just waiting on 4 things in the mail: G's pitterpat shoes, DH's NIH number, DH's secret Santa, and DH's Kenya hockey sweater.

Nothing exciting here! Work today, but skipping out at 4. I think I'm finally done with the month of sickness, praise the Lord. The last of my congestion and cough is clearing out, so that means I need to start hitting the gym to train for my race in February. Eeek! Little Man's finally not wheezing anymore, so we're only doing breathing treatments during the day and before bed, no more MOTN. I need to find out from the pedi when we can drop it to only doing them as needed.

Usually at our company Christmas party they'll give out an annual bonus. This year I didn't see a check. Figured ok, whatever. Then in today's paycheck I saw that it was included there.
While DH and I were ok, I know some of my coworkers rely on that extra check for Christmas gifts. It seems like they would have said something for those who depend on it. (We're paid monthly on the last day of the month)
Of course maybe they don't realize how many live paycheck to paycheck.
cougarette how many ear infections is this? Did pedi mention tubes?
This is #5 since August. We didn't see his regular pedi today, but I'm planning on asking about it when we go for the f/u in a few weeks.
This one did say I should ask daycare to feed him sitting up. DH said that he's seen him on a boppy holding his bottle when he's gone to pick him up. I know others do that too. I just worry that they won't have time to hold him while he drinks his bottle, especially if he's now used to feeding himself.

Have they talked about putting tubes in? That seems like a lot of ear infections in a short period of time
DH and I have been trying to re-night wean LO after 3 months of shit. The first two nights were rough - 1 wake up lasting 45 mins. She didn't want to eat she just wanted cuddles. Last night was the third and she slept from 7-6 without a peep! I won't hold my breath but it's a good step in the right direction.
Going out with the inlaws for sushi tonight!
DH watched LO this morning so I napped like it was my job then did more organizing around the house. Yay me!

My nephews both got tubes, and it was a vast improvement in quality of life for their parents. Hopefully N doesn't need them, but if he does, I hope he gets them soon.
Maybe daycare will be receptive to holding him since it's related to his health?

Hello ladies! Lazy day at work today and we're all allowed to cut out early, so I'll probably be leaving shortly to get a few things done before I pick DS up from daycare. We ended up getting MIL to watch him tonight, so we'll be going to our friends' for a gathering tonight. I just wish DS hadn't shared his cold with me. :/

lilyelayne and mishka29 I didn't realize how many he's had until I wrote it out here. We'll see what his regular pedi says in a few weeks. I've heard many times that tubes help tremendously, but I know I'll be a nervous wreck.

So the get together we were planning on going to doesn't start until 8. Yeah, we'll be staying home. I invited my parents to come over and we'll get pizzas and play games while drinking bubbly.

Decided I didn't want to leave the house today, so we're not going to my mom's. DH is picking up pizza and probably some sparklers to show DS what fireworks are.
