Today is my Friday!
@wwprestige hope your LO feels better soon, ear infections are a bitch. A is getting over his 5th one now and we finally slept a little better last night.
LO was up at 5 am and she just wants to stand on everything. She's currently standing at her activity table and dancing. It's pretty funny - until she inevitably lets go and takes a nosedive. She needs a bubble!
@wwprestige hopefully LO feels better soon. There was a shooting about 15 miles from our home last night. The guys got into their car and took off, crashed their car on the freeway near our home and then ran on foot trying to hide from police. They were somewhere nearby because we could hear helicopters flying around and police cars where driving around with just their spotlights on. E's bedroom is downstairs and ours is up, so DH insisted he sleep in bed with us. That's fine DH, but you coming to bed and snoring all night wakes E up which means I wake up. I need coffee while I check online for an update. At least it's my Friday today.

I'm babysitting at my friend's house, instead of mine, and it's going to be a long day. She hardly has any toys and her kitchen is filled with vegetables and canning supplies, instead of snacks. Thank GOD I thought to bring coffee!
Alright, who's been creeping my profile? Today is a chiropractor appointment for C this morning. Laundry. Then lapsit at the library this afternoon. I also need to organize this huge pile of junk in our living room and figure out what is garage sale and what is just getting donated to goodwill. I'm sick of seeing it all and I really want to get the treadmill set up in there.

We are pretty yucky sick over here, LO and I caught whatever upper respiratory crap SO had last week. I think its time to call the ped today, I really don't like the sound of her cough. Then again all they'll tell me I imagine is run a humidifier and whatever. I just want some sleep!
This morning my little brother is discharging from the hospital directly to a rehabilition facility! We already know this is a lifelong road but we're just glad he's back on the forward path.
Sending wellness vibes to sick babies/ mamas this morning!
V is 9 months today! She started waving this week and it is the cutest thing. She is still rolling , slithering and army crawling. It's amazing to see how she can get around like that on her mat or carpet. I was freaking out a bit that she wasn't doing the traditional crawling, but the pedi assured me this week that there is nothing to be concerned about,
Holla for Scandal tonight!! I might have to DVR it and watch it tomorrow since the debate comes on tonight.
tjanca22, that's crazy! I hope they caught them. periwinkledaydreams, glad to hear the positive news! DH's family has dealt with a family member who went through a lot over the years with addiction, but for the last couple of years has completely turned around, to the point that other family is saying that this cousin is the person they remember again. It will be a long road, but I hope your brother can make the same recovery.

Thanks for that mirage86, I know that success stories are possible and they're all I want to let myself focus on. Its been a long many years of ups and downs and ins and outs already so we can only look forward!
Great, now my mom is giving me shit about "needing" to feed LO more. She's convinced my pediatrician will give me the same advice because "LO needs to eat more food". She nurses 6-8 times a day and eats twice a day plus some mum mums or puffs or yogurt melts thrown in. My mom refuses to accept the "food before one is just for fun" saying. Clearly I made it up to starve my baby.

From how I understand it, giving more and more food is actually more likely to lead to LESS nutrition before one because it could make them less hungry for breastmilk/formula. Isn't this why it's "just for fun" right now? ETA I know Ive found myself having to back off the food a bit because if given the option LO definitely prefers it over a bottle, and I don't want her to start reducing the amount of formula she's taking too soon. Also, sorry your mom's butting in.
I'm here....barely....S was so uncomfortable lastnight and got up around 12:30 to eat. She was so restless until about 2:30-3 and then finally settled in. THEN DS got up....I just ploppped him in bed with me 'cause I didn't feel like fighting.
DH is home with S today, thankfully. I'll head out a little early to give him a break.
It's basically a snow day here. Dh is working from home, so I'm just hoping they plow our neighborhood soon so we can go out to lunch and maybe a target run later. Hope everyone has a good Thursday, that sick babies start feeling better and tired moms get some coffee!
Yep, periwinkledaydreams, that's exactly how I understand it, too. Babies under 1 are supposed to get their calories from breastmilk or formula, not food.

That's what I thought too! My pedi mentioned at the 6m check that he wanted to see her at 3 solid meals a day by the 9m check....sorry dude, but I already feel like I'm feeding her every 5 seconds of the day and I don't want to have her back off on nursing so I probably won't even start adding in a "dinner" until 9 or 10m. Not sorry!
Today is PJ day at DC and all N had left clean was a snap up and I wasnt about to do that to her teachers. So I put her in a pair of her new 12m jammies that I just got. I would seriously like to know what 9-12m old they are using to determine that size. N is on the smaller side of the curve for her age and the thing barely zipped around her belly, i had to pull her hands through the arm holes and they still got stuck, and the footies are massive. She looked like a sausage with clown feet. Wut?
Will be returning the other pairs.
If it is anything that says "snug fit" from Carters, you can automatically plan to get the next size up. I also start buying the two piece jammies as soon as I can because of all of the fit issues.

With 3 babies today. Got them all down for nap #1 within an hour of each other. Just sitting here waiting for the first one to wake up now, and hoping they don't wake the rest!

We're in 18 month from carters. It's ridiculous. Yes he's big, but only in 12 months from almost everywhere else!
It's not even March yet, and I'm not even Irish, but I am starting to get myself hyped up for St. Patrick's Day already. What can I say other than I love holidays? Bring on the Irish food!
Also kind of sad that Easter is so early this year. I need my holidays to be spaced out just so that I have the perfect amount of time to enjoy them all.

Finally decided on a date for DD's birthday party (working around 3 weddings and our summer vacation= nightmare) now I just have to nail down the theme:) it's nice to have the big things picked and now I can coast for a bit and think about vacation things!
@wwprestige hope your LO feels better soon, ear infections are a bitch. A is getting over his 5th one now and we finally slept a little better last night.
Eta: spelling
heartofglass Wow that's a lot! Has your pedi talked tubes? N is getting tubes put in a week from tomorrow. He's had 3 diagnosed infections since December, and I'm thinking another one just starting. I'm so nervous but also looking forward to it. The days between his infections he is like a different baby. Never saw him so smiley, ever, between reflux and teething. I can't wait to have him like that more often. I don't even recognize him on those days.

I get this way too. Although I don't celebrate SPD. DDs 4th birthday is SPD, and then bam, it's Easter. Too many gifts to get!

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who feels this way. St. Pat's Day is also DH's birthday. I'm used to that, but now we have Easter a week later?! Which holiday do I decorate for? Haha.

I can't believe that it's only Thursday. I want the weekend to be here so that DH won't wake the kids up when he leaves for work!
DD1 and I are still sick, and my voice sounds like a mans. If it's lasted this long, it better last until the weekend so I have an excuse to get out of kids birthday parties.
Yesterday DD1 had a meltdown when we were out for lunch. It's certainly not her first tantrum in public, but it was the first time that she was face down on the floor screaming, and I was so embarassed. Of course everyone was looking to see how I'd react, and of course I was halfway through putting LO in the wrap on my back so I couldn't really do anything until she was up and secure.
