Hi all! I have been MIA this week. We are in full house designing/ordering mode and my family is still cray cray.
On Wednesday we had an appointment at our children's hospital to evaluate Leo's lip tie. He also has a tongue tie. Although his lip tie is pretty significant and the frenulum is very thick, the doctor did not recommend any surgical intervention at this time and the tongue tie and lip tie are both considered "functional" and shouldn't interfere with speech. Yay!
Today we did Leo's gym class and he's currently napping. I'm frantically hunting for his Easter basket today so I can fill it with his goodies for tomorrow!
I was passed out. I went on a little boozy escapade that ended with me cuddling Em's pig in the floor. Or so my husband says. Lol
Boozy escapade! I'm so jealous! I hope you're not hungover. I had one drink Thursday night and I was literally hungover Friday. I'm such a postpartum lightweight.

We slept in but then dragged ourselves to Leo's gym class. Leo did not do well at separation time (babies play together no parents). He sat there and cried until I went for him. Has not had a problem before though. Weird.
We are going to see my dad and visit my grandparents this afternoon. Right now still no definite Easter plans. I'll invite my dad for dinner and see what happens. Off to make Leo's basket plus lunch.
I got to sleep in too! It was only until 7:30 because we've got shit to do today, but it was the first time I didn't have to get up to nurse first and then go back to bed. Dh is gonna get lucky since he got up with lo. We might be jumping into the housing market too. We've been toying with the idea of moving and I found a house I really liked. You have to be pre approved to go see it though, so dh talked to the bank today. Fx we get our pre approval without much fuss!
sgio7485 glad your lo doesn't have to have surgery for now! Fx it stays that way. ourcrazynavylife haha sounds like a fun night! Glad you aren't feeling too rough. I swear the older I get the worse the hangovers are after less drinks! Lol Good luck with the house. bkmama0 lucky mama! littlelion have fun visiting family today.
sgio7485 glad to hear LO won't need surgery. That's got to be a big relief.
ourcrazynavylife sounds like a fun night. I cannot hang- even one glass of wine and I have a migraine. Had one too many kids, I think. I was good until this last one. GL with the house!
Still sick over here. LO has croup and my H and I are pretty miserable. In 14 years of having kids, we have never been sick at the same time. This is miserable.
In other news, I've taken a part time job at a integrative medicine clinic. I start April 4th. I'm probably crazy but it's such a cool group of people and they want to hire me after school is over so I feel like I have to just "lean in" and be crazed for awhile and do it.
We are doing Easter today since my sister has plans with her deadbeat BF's family tomorrow (my mom always bends to my sister's plans...even though she has zero kids to explain to about why the Easter bunny came early). I think it's going to be a short day. My poor little family is still dragging.

kcrus congrats on the new gig? What did you decide as far as DC?
I had planned on taking Leo back to his DC. But dh has a recommended person who watches kids and has space for leo. I'm super wary of ppl. I don't know this woman or her setup. But it's cheaper and still convenient. The mortgage bill went up (by $300!) so now I think I should consider it. Ugh. So frustrating. Where's my winning lottery ticket. >:/
ourcrazynavylife good luck! kcrus sorry you are sick, good luck with the job! ashlantic yay sleeping in and yay house hunting! littlelion pics of the basket please sgio7485 glad Leo's tongue tie is nbd and have fun designing! Feel free to share housey pics
Hello my lovely J15 emus. Went to a hockey game Thursday night, didn't get home until 2 am. Met my bro's GF. She seems nice, kind of quiet. We're all loud, really geeky nerds so I hope things work out. He seems to like her, and if she can take him, she will be able to handle any one of us. He's the worst out of all of us, lol. Yesterday, we dyed the hard boiled eggs that will be used to make the deviled eggs tomorrow. LO didn't quite get that I wanted her to play with the egg, put it in the dye. She kept trying to grab the cups, I'm assuming to drink. She's been trying to use a "big girl" cup lately. She also carries around a mug, and tries to drink the bath water out of it. We went out to dinner with some out of town friends we hadn't seen in a while. Thank goodness LO had a late second nap, the people we were meeting were almost an hour late and she didn't get to bed until after 9 pm! She was a trooper the entire time, people cooing how wonderful she was behaving for it being so late. She did sleep in until 9 am this morning, allowing me to shower. I knew I wanted to make LO an Easter basket, but it required a visit to Target. My bank card works everywhere, EVERYWHERE, but Target. Doesn't even allow me to put in my pin, just freezes their system. I now have to use cash, which helps cut down my spending, so I can't complain too much. Anywho, Target was nuts. I'm really sorry I waited so long to get there. I'm happy I found everything I wanted for her basket. I still have to put it together, and I'll AW a pic later. We're also planning an egg hunt here for 2 pm tomorrow. It's crazy how much prep work goes into holidays when you have kids! Peep, someone's up from her nap!
littlelion GL deciding on a DC. I am also really wary of people. sgio7485 so glad Leo won't need to have surgery! ourcrazynavylife everything is crossed for you! kcrus ugh that is the worst. Glad you found a job that you like the people! Hope everyone gets to feeling better ashlantic hope you heard good news! bkmama0 yay for sleeping in!
Help! We have a spitter on our hands. Any tips for curbing this behavior? He mostly does it so he can play in it with his fingers or when he's bored/done with mealtime. When he does it we usually tell him "No, yuck!" and either remove him from the spot where he's spitting or clean up mealtime and be done. Really want to nip this habit in the bud.
Annoyed. We talked to the guy at the bank and he said he didn't forsee any problems and that he'd send over the paperwork this afternoon. The banks are all closed now and still no email from him. Dh says I'm being impatient and to give it until Monday.
kcrus ugh, I hope all the sickness leaves your house soon! Good luck with the new job! That's exciting. ourcrazynavylife all my fingers and toes crossed for you! littlelion can you meet this woman and tour her place? Might help put your mind at ease. nemomof2 that cardigan is adorable. I vote for the striped buttons. raven you've had lots of busy days! Glad you were able to fit it all in! Hope your lo likes her Easter basket.
ashlantic as someone who worked with banks and lenders at the escrow company, I would have to agree with YH, it will probably come in on Monday. I'm sorry I know it sucks to wait banks are on a completely different timeline then anybody else. As for spitting I have no advice but what you have already tried. Hopefully it is just a short phase. raven glad you liked your brothers GF and glad you got everything for the Easter basket.
Have been creepin' on the new BMBs, reading birth stories, and watching videos from when Ch was a squish. For someone who doesn't want another just yet I am sure not acting like it!
Easter basket laid out for tomorrow... Big pad of paper and chunky crayons behind, some dress up tutus, book, chicky, bunny, and a bunch of eggs with Amy's organic bunny grahams inside.
