Glad you had a good trip, @hazeldublin, and that you're safe.
Not looking forward to today. L and I both still have gastroenteritis and I have the end of the bronchitis. She's not poorly in herself but of course we can't go to any of our groups or classes till we've both been symptom free for 24 hours...
I still feel crappy, although I did get to sleep from 8-3. I work today and I'm really hoping I don't have to cover a class. My throat couldn't take teaching all day!
After sleeping in the car from 2-6 I was pleasantly surprised that Jules slept in her pnp(for the first time) from 9-3 just got her back to sleep in my arms.

Cooked a ham in the crockpot yesterday for family dinner and now j get to take the leftovers for lunch today, score! And I work late tonight so DH can eat them for dinner, double score!
Yesterday was DH's birthday. We had a great day just hanging out, and took B to the park to see the ducks. We bought a really nice new toaster oven, too! I used it last night to bake rolls to go with dinner. I wish we could have relaxing family days like yesterday more frequently.
We also had a long conversation this weekend about when is the right time for us to try to make the move back to the Northeast. I've always said it needs to be before B starts school (I don't want to live here forever, but I also feel !very strongly that when our kids are in school, we need to stay put), but it sounds like DH is leaning toward leaving sooner!!! I am so excited! It would be so great if we could do lots of weekend trips to see family throughout the year versus feeling like we have to cram it in to a few week long trips. It also means tha we might actually get to take a real vacation instead of using all of DH's days to visit family.
Glad you're safe @hazeldublin- that sounds scary! Also, really glad that some of you got a good night's sleep! I hope it continues for you

Good morning!
That's exciting that you may be moving back northeast sooner than you hoped kemdupuis. Was it Vermont that you're from?
M slept from 7:30-6 today! It took 5 days to shift his schedule and CIO but each day seems likes its in improvement. I do think he was teething bc he seemed to cry out in his sleep every hour from 3 on, but didn't actually fully wake up so I'll take that as a win.
Man, guess my kid is the one that's going to break the great sleeping streak. We had a crap night, I think 5 wake-ups in total, after a weekend of bad sleep. It's especially frustrating because we'd actually had almost a two week run of pretty good sleep. His bottom two teeth finally came through, but we did start a Wonder Week last week. I'm hoping it's that and he gets it back together soon! I woke up this morning with a sore throat, so I'm taking all the Ziacam and Emergen-C, but it'd be nice if DS would let me get some sleep to help fight the cold! The good news is, I'm getting a new car today! I already decided over the weekend to just take this afternoon off, so I'm hoping to sneak in a nap between getting the car and picking DS up from day care
@hazeldublin That sounds scary, I'm glad you avoided it. purple Hope you guys feel better soon! Kristykristyleelee FX you hear something today! That's awesome that some of your babies are sleeping good, I hope it continues. I have nothing planned for today. Yesterday and last night were really rough. B napped for an hour tops all day and slept crappy last night.

Also, my daughter has started making this squinty eyed-nose wrinkly face to show when she's excited about something and it cracks me up every time I see it *POOF*

I'm really hoping I don't have the flu. I started feeling really crappy last night, and am feeling just as bad this morning. I have most of the symptoms, just no runny nose and not really coughing. Ugh. I guess it's a call to my Dr office when they open.
mrsmonogrammed, Laura pulls a face very like that when she's excited. I'll have to try & get a photo. She also wrinkles her nose when she's so happy that her smile doesn't fit on her mouth. It's very sweet.
budders, at least you know he can have good nights, and hopefully it'll be the beginning of a trend. Well, we can hope, can't we?
Today will be a pretty regular Monday, play date in the morning and DS's skating in the afternoon. He seems to be feeling even better today even with a lingering cough, as he came into our room and dropped some fancy dance moves to the song in his head to come tell us hes awake lol. He's my child 100%. Oh! I just got all the location/day info and stuff sent to me last night for his NICU fundraiser photos coming up on Sunday!
Glad so many babies had a great night! DD's was worse than normal, but she cut tooth 7 over 2 weeks ago now and I'm sure she's just constantly dealing with its pair because they always come in 2 at a time and this one hasn't yet. Poor girl. But DS ran into her room to tell her he's awake too and she was just standing back laughing at him by the time I got in there so she's still otherwise her normal self too haha.
@hazeldublin, oh my goodness! How scary! Glad to hear Yall escaped!
kemdupuis,same with us and vacay days. We spend our vacation days on flying back down to visit family, yay for moving closer to home! I'm hoping we can move out of the Northeast and closer to home.
Holla for 60 degrees today!! I see a long walk in the schedule for me and DD today.
Is anyone else not feeling this year's Bachelor? I think maybe because he is younger, the girls are younger and immature.
Trying to avoid stressing while i wait for my biopsy results led to a VERY productive Sunday. Multiple loads of laundry washed, folded, and actually put away, made pulled pork, cleaned the kitchen, and a trip to the mall. Then an incredibly rough night (between DH snoring, A thinking that 3 AM was a perfect time to wake up for the day, and some wonderful insomnia) had me awake from 2 am to 5:30. I need all the coffee and distractions today.

txngrl31, I think he's better than Chris. And, I really didn't like Kaitlyn so IMO the show can't get much worse. Not loving that Becca is back for a second season. I like the Bachelor Pad seasons better now.
Good morning! Feel better vibes to the sick Mamas!
Yay on hopefully new houses and cars!
MIL left last night so now its just getting back into routine. After a month of either the kids or us bring sick, no sleep, visitors back to back and DH having a project from hell due for his class I am so ready for normal
this chocolate coconut milk yogurt is so off, texture and taste is weird, blaah. Thats what I get for trying to vary my breakfast menu
Morning everyone. E slept from 7:30-3:30! Not a lot going to today for me, just work and then the gym. Good luck with the house Kristykristyleelee! Glad your safe @hazeldublin!
I'm off all this week for bereavement leave. I lucked out last week and every day was a snow day due to the blizzard. Saturday was the viewing and funeral for my father. Yesterday was taking people to the airport and cleaning my house back up after having guests for 6 days. Today we're going to my aunt's to see my grandparents before they're taken home. I need to bathe the baby and the dog. Owen has been such a ray of sunshine through all of this.
I may not be posting a lot right now but I'm constantly probing.
erbear, @kej004, it's a 2015 Ford Flex, I'm pretty excited about it. I'm glad we're going to do all the paperwork today while DS is in day care. We took him with us to two different dealerships on Saturday while we were test driving, and he actually handled that pretty well - I think the shiny cars and lots of people were a good distraction for him, but I think just sitting and going through all the paperwork would be a bit much for his limited attention span.
Today is sign language class and I realized that I need to do a load of LOs laundry because he doesn't have many clothes in this size. Around the house I let him hang out in a sleeper because he seems way more comfortable but when we go out I like to dress him. We have tons of clothes the next size up but this size we don't have a ton.
Also my mom is coming tomorrow for a couple days and I'm soooo excited! Although as much as I love my friends I want to hide from them right now. When they heard she was coming they all decided we need to make plans. I LOVE them to death and they have been amazing with loaning me stuff for baby, etc. but I REALLY just wanted to hang out with mom and clean house and catch up on stuff.
tiffbot that's why I hardly ever tag cause I can never remember either the spelling or whatever and it's hard to just go back in mobile! So if it's something that's not too long I just quote instead but I'm amazed at the people who can make a post with like 5 tags lol I would have to write them out on a piece of paper then write it out on here lol
I confess that I usually write usernames down before I make a reply with multiple ones so I know who/how to spell them. I'm sure there's an easier way....
Oh budders, I think I'd be tempted to leave DH at a coffee shop somewhere if he wouldn't do that with me and just go on my own. But my DH has watched Gilmore Girls more than I have so I think he would be totally in.
