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!

We've got our date and theme set.  Now I just need to start making things  We're going for a pink and sparkly gold Minnie Mouse theme.  

periwinkledaydreams - I am so glad to hear that he is doing better.  That is very good news!

Widget123, I think you are my holiday twin. I was just telling DH how much I hate it when Easter is in March. I need it to be later. Also poor LO is going to get sick of all the photos. Someone brought him a Team Ireland ruby jersey...that means we HAVE to do St. Patrick's pics-right?

Going somewhere fun, gilder40? (Sorry if you already mentioned it. I was MIA yesterday.)

Nah, you're good! I didn't mention it. We are going to the local Children's Theater to see The Addam's Family, then lunch at the park. It's a beautiful, cool, sunshiney day, so I'm super excited to be out of the classroom!

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.

All of the sympathy/empathy for you today. DS and DD1 were up most of the night. I know sick babies are horrible, but sick toddlers are like 100x more horrible. I think DD1 may have an ear infection, she was complaining it hurt last night and was crying for about an hour until she fell asleep. She seems fine this morning though, so I don't know if I should wait it out or just take the whole troop to the doctor's office.

LT for commiseration. I think DS is on the upswing of his virus, but he had a weird night going to sleep lastnight. I think he was confused when he got up since his bedside light was on.

So guys, I guess @littlechivette is the first June mom to get KTFU, although she technically doesn't post here anymore. Congrats!

Saw that lastnight. Posted a congrats on her thread.

Congrats @littlechivette!

I've been wondering when our first June 2015 mom was going to get pregnant again. I'm a little jealous, I still haven't even gotten my period back yet!

[belle0720]

It's my 'Friday' today YESSSSSSS

A co-worker brought in her 2 month old baby yesterday to visit. So crazy to hold that quiet little baby that barely moves and then come home to Gianna standing banging on the printer, walking all over the house with my mom, and giggling like crazy.

After the baby left I ran into the Finance manager (my boss's boss's boss) and she said, "I saw that look in your eye!" haha

Where does everyone plan to have their LO's birthday party (if at all)?

Home? A park? Restaurant? A Hall/Venue?


I really want to have G's at our wedding venue. They have a perfect pool area with waterfall for the mermaid theme. But I know they'll have a wedding booked every Saturday so it will have to be a Sunday party and I don't know how I feel about a Sunday party. It will also be expensive. My ILs offered to pay, but I still feel weird letting them pay for something so expensive.

Thanks y'all. I'm still kind of in shock and majorly freaking out.

I can't imagine it's anything but normal to be freaking out right now. You'll do great though!

[Bluedaisy]

Congrats @littlechivette,!

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.

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.

No, our pediatrician hasn't mentioned tubes and I haven't brought it up yet. I will be scared to death if they say he needs them. They put him on a different antibiotic this time around and I'm crossing my fingers that he doesn't get another one since he's out of daycare now. And yes, it's crazy what a difference it makes when he's well!

[tiffbot]

I have a really stupid random. It's almost embarrassing I put this much thought into it.

You know how when you are trying to sleep and your mind just wanders to the most random, where did you come from thoughts? Last night neither of my kids had a good night so there was a lot of lying waiting for the next one to start crying again and my random thought brain must have been especially overtired, because I realized that my kids names combined make up the word *edited*

Yep. Random.

I really need to go through my kids' toys today and get rid of all the small pieces. Since M is now mobile, I can't contain her to one area of the play room anymore

Yep. Did this all week. Still finding random tiny crap stuffed into bags, cabinets and corners. I swear I found a few bucks in change that she was hoarding, smart girl

Eta to add example of this mornings finds as i went through her play kitchen

[Bluedaisy]

txngrl31 my doctor said he doesn't worry about crawling until ten months. My baby is still only rolling. I think he's getting close to crawling but that could very much be wishful thinking on my part.

humble brag?

Nope, legitimately hoping to get it back soon because we want to start TTC again at some point this year and I need a period to start charting.

@bubbs119 I'm just impressed there were 21 hair ties in one place at one time. I can only ever find 1. And it is always janky and mostly broken.

Your cat basically had superpowers.

After this post I'll only have 9 posts to go until I hit bronze reg. I hope my 1,000th post isn't lame.

Thoughts on Chrissy Teigen and John Legend choosing the sex of their baby during IVF?

I don't get the outcry over it.

I'm kind of on the TETO side on this one. I don't think I could do it just because, but we never found out the sex of either of our babies. I do think if there were any potential problems with a chromosomal disorder, we'd probably do it.  If they are paying that much money for IVF and it's offered as an option, I'm not going to side-eye anyone.

What antibiotics has he tried? They usually do amoxicillin first, but it seems like that's never enough for most babies. So hopefully whatever he gets this time works fast. But even so, you don't want them to keep happening and keep giving antibiotics over and over. But 100% go with your pediatrician. If they haven't mentioned it there is a reason.
Since I've started telling people N needs them, I swear I have found out a new person that has had them every day. From babies now to my in laws saying they had them as kids. It's crazy how common it is. Have also heard from every single one how shockingly fast the surgery is. Only 10 minutes. But I know it will be so crazy hard to physically hand N over to the doctor/nurse. Don't even like to think about it. I'm hoping his surgery is very very early because of the whole nothing to eat ordeal. That little boy wakes at least once at night to eat and then again in the morning followed by solids for breakfast and snacks. If it's after noon, I don't know how I'll do it!!!

I pretty much side-eye anyone that has an actual preference on sex for their offspring. IVF or otherwise.

Also had not heard anything about it until your post.

Ours will be in our backyard (possibly renting a tent?) DNW to pay a million dollars for food or venue when really it's a party for me;)
if it's not going to break the bank and you want to, go for the venue though! Although the I feel you on the Sunday party thing...just not the same as a Saturday one;)

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.

just looks and they are definitely "snug fit". My biggest concern is that I now have to actually go to the store to return them. This is not a safe place for me to ever be.

I took advantage of their Presidents' Day sale (so many cute spring things!!!) and now my H will not let me w/in a 100ft radius of a carters or osh'kosh, lol
