stinybean I appreciate your optimism this morning!
We had a brutal night. At R's 9 month appt on Thursday, the doc said his ear was pink but no fluid. Pretty positive it's now a full blown infection. This is number 4...one of which took 3 antibiotics to get rid of. I guess it's time to talk about tubes.
On a lighter note, loving these warmer temps! I'm wearing flip flops to work!
Morning! H is off this week and it's going to be super nice outside. I'm hoping we get a walk in every day this week it's not raining!
I hope he gets a good taste of what I go through this week! Already she wanted him to hold her hands so she could walk and he was all "I'm not doing this all day..." And I was just like, "yes, yes you are."

I bit the bullet and trimmed M's bangs myself this morning, and let MIL watch as an added bonus. I did a pretty horrible job, if I do say so myself lol.
I spent a fortune this weekend on clothing from Jcrew and Loft. All the clothes are 2 sizes up from my pre-pregnancy weight, but I needed to b/c of the email from my boss about my attire not being "professional" enough. (From a lady who wore a leather jacket) to an important meeting. I was talking to my H about losing weight and he's like no,no, we just got you bigger clothes. The way I've been headed. I'd need a miracle to happen anyhow.
Up since 4:30 am today and he would not go back to sleep in the past 3 hours. Happy Monday everyone.
Edit: I'm sorry you're still sick budders. It might be gastroenteritis? It usually just goes away on its own but If you're still sick in a week, I'd see a gastroenterologist. Feel better!
ETA eta: It would help to tag who I was referring to ^^
clbehenna, hope R is feeling better soon! I think I'm going to get spring fever hard this week with the weather they're predicting. I wish I could have another maternity leave this summer for DS' first birthday - last summer I had three months off, but feel like I hardly got to enjoy it because of having a newborn. This summer I just want to be outside! On that note, happy Monday, everyone - hope it's a good week
budders , I hope you feel better soon, stomach issues are not fun. clbehenna poor R
E has been waking up at 5am the last three days just wanting to play. Not cool kid; what happened to the normal 7am wake up? I just want these next two teeth to come though. I'm tired and just want my happy baby back.

C's top 2 teeth are poking through! She's been a bit fussy/needy and I thought it was just because of her cold but it looks like she was extra miserable thanks to those teeth:( happy they are almost out!
Happy belated Birthday 3dimesdown. Hope it was a great one!
I know there are a lot of standers and puller-uppers here, but this morning (aka 4:30) M sat up in his crib all on his own for the first time. He was just looking at the monitor and smiling, it was ridiculously cute, like he totally knew we were watching him from the other room.
Thanks, carrots ! Happy birthday to you! I wish I could send y'all some of my birthday cake... because there's probably enough for everyone here left over from yesterday and we definitely do not need it at my house. Also, great minds think alike, because we definitely had Mexican food for my birthday lunch yesterday.
Happy birthday carrots & belated birthday 3dimesdown! E has his 9 month appointment today. I'm so excited that I've been awake instead of getting what could have been an extra two hours of sleep.
Feel better soon budders. Stomach stuff sucks, especially with kids, and I'm sorry you've been sick for so long with it now.
I've got a cold thats just bringing me down. But we did get to the literacy party yesterday that was awesome and the kids loved it. AW: their costumes. Total last minute put togethers haha. Where's Waldo and Fern from Charlotte's Web!
poof
This morning the kids both have checkups (DD's 9 month and DS's follow up from starting his inhaler). H said he would take off and come help if I needed when I'm not feeling well. Which is nice, because city trips are no small feats anymore.
I've got nothing positive this morning. BH's second tooth might be the death of me. The only way he would stop screaming last night was if there was a boob in his mouth. It was a long night.
One of my online mom friends that I met on TD's BMB for my daughter (3/2012) has another baby the age of our babies. She has heart failure (I think they said it was only functioning at 10-15%) and needs a new heart. It's been 131 days and they finally got the call they have been waiting for. I am so so happy for her and a nervous wreck. If you are a praying person, please send up some prayers for sweet baby Delia, her family, and her hero heart's family.
It's sunny here, so I think we will be taking a walk a bit later. I think it's supposed to be in the mid to upper 50s today.
We spent Saturday at mommycon. It was kind of meh, imo. The gift bags were alright I guess, but what exactly am I supposed to do with a kiinde system? Actually, 3 of them, since they were going around handing out all the leftover bags at the end. J was pretty cranky by the end of the day after only having 2 45 minute naps and passed out right after I put him in his crib.
Yesterday we slept most of the morning. J was up at his usual 630 to 7 am time, but was just being a crab. H got up with him, but all J did was scream until we finally got him calmed down enough to nap. He cut 2 teeth between Thursday and saturday and it looks like the next one will be any day now.
Hope you feel better budders I hope you can find relief!
We left Pittsburgh for Fairfax last night at Juliet's bed time and she slept great in the car and really good in the hotel. I was super pumped for her! We are on our way to Charleston today for my brothers wedding next Saturday. It'll be nice to have a week away!
Happy Birthday carrots and 3dimesdown! junch817 lots of T&P for Delia, her family and donor's family. BTW, how is LO doing after having tubes put in?
He is doing good. It's still property early to tell if he is better than normal, but he has had a good couple days. He always does better when Daddy is home though lol. We have to give him ear drops 2x a day and he HATESSSSS IT. Makes me feel so bad. But I know he needs it. I'll be glad when they are done. He has a bit of crusty, bloody residue that comes out sometimes after putting in the drops which I hate seeing, but it's normal. Thanks for asking tjanca22.
Fun fact: my mom saved my tubes when they fell out. They're in a ziploc bag in her closet, along with all of my baby teeth. In case anyone ever wonders why I'm crazy... it's genetic.
It snowed last night and I'd typically stay home and call it a lazy day, but we have mom and tot group today and DD1 is so excited. We are going to a splatter paint party, which is as messy as it sounds. Last time it took days to get the paint out of her hair. Breaking out the worn out maternity clothes that I don't care about getting stained and making DH come supervise the baby.
Hope all the sick moms and babies feel better soon.
Teething question. Do top teeth ever come in first? Because C has been teething for months, and we've got nothing. But last night I left her in her room with a board book to chew on while I made up her bottle. When I came back in, I noticed little spots of blood on the book. I checked her hands, and nothing. I tried to look in here mouth and she emphatically told me that would not be happening. But I did manage to get my finger in. Nothing on the bottom, but something sharp on the top. So, I guess I have 2 questions: 1) Top teeth? Can they come in first?
and 2) A little bit of blood is normal when cutting teeth?
Oh, and I think we got our first real dose of separation anxiety last night. Momma could not leave the room until after she was asleep. There was lots of screaming and tears (from her…not me).
mrsdee1982 teeth can come in any order. DD got her top outer laterals before her top front teeth came in. She was a little vampire for a couple weeks haha.
Now my Facebook and IG newsfeed is being inundated by something called Plexus. I just wish my friends would stop trying to force me to spend my money on this crap!!!
Oh, and I forgot. Yesterday I found myself at the emergency vet with my pup. Poor thing was limping and whimpering and shaking (although, she is part Chihuahua, so shaking is kind of her thing). My poor little girl needs knee surgery. Luxating Patella. Her knee cap is currently resting about an inch and a half from where it should be resting. So, I need to call the pet insurance today to make sure they cover it and then call and book her appointment. The estimate is $1,100 and the recovery time is 2 months. WOOF!
ETA: Sorry. I know we were supposed to focus on the good stuff, but I'm a little bit of a hot mess over here.

Happy Birthday carrots and 3dimesdown! budders I'm sorry that you are still sick, tummy bugs are the worst. Enjoy the extra snuggles with V! tiffbot they are too adorable! T&P to all the moms who have miserable teething LO's. O has been miserable as well. I haven't been on all weekend as we had a big dance competition. Always fun doing makeup on a ten year old at 7:00 AM! DD1 did so great and the best she has ever done, placing 5th out of 77 solos. I was so happy for her! Add that to the incredible weather here and this weekend has been a win! This is the first day I didn't send the kids to school in a snowsuit. Yay spring!!!
