19 1/2 months She's back to her usual self after a stomach bug, teething and a language leap all in one week I'm okay. Apparently I've been spendy lately. I'm ready to wean but have no idea how to do it.

20 months tomorrow. Where is the time going???
She's pretty good, no major complaints here. She has her moments but I'm loving this age.
I'm almost 32 weeks pregnant and just feel like crap lately. Thought it was just allergies but hubs thinks I've probably got an upper respiratory infection now. I've been sick a lot this pregnancy and it just makes it rough especially working full time. I miss naps.
She's 20 months. She's doing well. She's so much more emotional than I remember DS being at this age. She's also silly, and snuggly.
I'm doing ok. We were finally ready to TTC, but now I have to have more tests done for my irregular heartbeat that the doctor told us to hold off on trying for more kids until we know if my heart is healthy. So that's kind of a bummer on both fronts.
DD is 19 months tomorrow. She is a total goober - she is generally exuberantly happy, chatty, and loving.
Our whole little family has been health challenged these past few months, between ear infections, shared upper respiratory infections, and DD has the flu, that she got from DH. I'm guessing it is only a matter of time before I get it, too.
Potty training is no where on the horizon, just yet, and she is working on all 6 of her remaining teeth, so that has been fun.
He is doing great! Still eating all the foods and climbing all the things. He has had a real language explosion the last week or two. It's like he is saying a bunch of new words overnight. Pronunciation still needs a lot of work. He loves anything w wheels. And little figures or people...he calls them all "guys" and loads them up in his toys school bus and drives them all over the house.
We are navigating discipline and behavior challenges .. he is very strong willled.
We are attempting early potty training so he can go to my school in August. We sit him on the potty 2-3 x a day, only if he wants to. He has progressed to where he can make himself pee when he sits down. He has also started telling me when he poops which is new. I just bought pull ups for when we are home so I can start taking him more often and more easily.
I am good....adjusting to life with two. See my post in the new mamas thread.
He is doing well. He has been sick on and off this month and might be working on the 8 teeth he has left. Still not saying much for real words, but he babbles a ton, and is making progress at his own rate. Climbing all over everything and extremely physical. He loves being read to.
I am doing okay. We are going to TTC in September, so vaguely starting to think about that.
Not to bring the thread down, but I might as well share here: We are starting to share with family and friends that my mother is terminally ill. None of her treatments have worked and she is in a really bad place, physically and mentally. She no longer has any movement below her chest and she cant lift her arms about elbow height. She is also now losing control of her tongue. My father is not handling things well, so I have started taking on more and pushing them into communicating more about her wishes and making more decisions since she is losing her ability to talk. I may have to go and live with them part-time at some point to help take care of her. My sister should go and live with them, but she seems to be pretending that nothing is happening, and my parents don't want to ask for her help. It is just a really sucky situation. Thankfully DH has ben a real trooper about everything and I am very thankful that I don't have to work and can do what I need to do to be there for my mom.
It has been a rough year and a half for my parents and myself, and I am very glad to have DS because he has been the light of all our lives.
DS is 19.5 months old, still into everything, but slowly starting to listen occasionally. He's also the best cuddler ever, gives great hugs, and just melts into my shoulder. He's way more stubborn than DD was and I fear the tantrums coming.
I've been fighting a bad cold and have started feeling nauseous 24-7 in the last week, so things have been better. But apart from very recently we're doing well and DH and I are both starting to get excited about another LO in mid-Nov.
19 months Doing well. Getting big too fast and picking up on everything we do. I'm fine, haven't slowed down yet but I know that's coming soon because I've got the 3rd tri tireds.

briarrose Thinking of you and your family. I'm glad you can be there for your parents, but I'm sure that's very stressful. Don't forget to take care of yourself.
Thanks ladies. For some reason the depression kind of hit about it the last couple of days. I have been wanting to tell people whats going on for ages, but actually doing it is bringing on the feels I guess. I feel very lucky that DH has known her for 10 years now, so he really gets it and is very helpful.
Max is 20 months today! He's doing alright. He's starting to be more fun and developing more of a personality. Unfortunately a lot of that personality includes being hyper focused and only doing what he wants to do. So there are a lot of tantrums and full on meltdowns that last 15+ minutes with no way of stopping it. He had a development evaluation today and is slightly delayed in his speech so we will get monthly coaching sessions to help him learn to communicate better with us instead of just screaming. I'm doing ok. My final semester of class ends in 4 weeks so I'm super excited about that, but I'm getting anxious about sending the boys to daycare even though I know they will love it.

20 months on Sunday! She's doing well. I'm struggling to break the bad habits that formed over the winter in my first tri. She's too used to watching tv while eating and in the am, so I'm hoping as it warms up outside we can replace tv with outdoor play. She's started throwing tantrums. I was actually going to ask you all how you've been dealing with them... Maybe I'll start a thread. I don't know what to do. Do you just ignore? Try to calm? Obviously I don't want to give in, but idk how to handle her. I'm good. Pregnant, but in the second tri, so (IMO) this is the easy part. I'm trying to appreciate that. I'm nervous about having 2 kids. C doesn't like change so I'm most afraid for how she'll adjust having to share the attention. But, we'll be ok. People do it all the time!
A is 19.5 months. He's doing well right now. He just moved to his big boy bed and is doing pretty well with the transition so far. He's very determined and can be stubborn. But he's so fun and can be super sweet and loves to help mommy around the house. I am doing okay. 35 weeks pregnant and I go back and forth between being excited for him to be here and freaking out about him being here. I've been feeling really overwhelmed with life lately and it doesn't look like things are going to change anytime soon.
briarrose I am so so sorry for what you're going through. I'm here if you ever need to vent. I'll be sending T&Ps your way. Have you checked to see if her insurance would cover a part time home health aide? Help out with bathing and a few other things a couple times a week? It might be worth looking into if you haven't already.
DS just turned 19 months eeeek. He's doing well. Starting to warm up to other kids more which is sweet to see. Our neighbors have a boy who is about 6 months older than DS and they've become buddies. We started Kindermusik and there's only been 1 class so far, but DS did great.
I'm doing ok. Really stressing out about some tests for DS. I canceled the latest one that would require anesthesia because of some studies I read. We'll revisit it later. He also has a urology consult coming up and I'm sure they're going to recommend re-circumcision and I don't know that I'm gonna go for that at this time either. Ugh, too much.
On a brighter note, I've reconnected with some old friends lately and started making more of an effort with new people. I think the nice weather is starting to bring me out of my funk.
lucylou, did you get the results from last weeks test yet?
No we haven't . I called today and they aren't in (even though they said a couple days). I'm at least hoping by the end of the week so we have them for the Nashville appointment.
caybeh I'll be thinking of you! I hope you hear good news! briarrose all the hugs for you. Thinking of you, your mom and your family. Always here if you need anything!
Things are going well here. The weather is finally decent this week so we've been out and about. Dd1 has been on an up swing after a HORRIBLE fall and winter so that's nice. LO is doing great. Talking up a storm, funny, and full of her own wacky personality. She's loving swim lessons and tomorrow is her first gymnastics class!
I'm doing well. Between homeschool and activities for both girls and the house stuff I feel like I never get a moment anymore!
briarrose, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. Thinking of you and your family.
J is 19.5 months!!
He is doing well. A couple weeks ago he gave us a little scare with an outbreak of head to toe hives for 3 days with a high fever. They are blaming amoxicillan, but aren't completely sure what caused it. Otherwise, he is back to normal now. Running around like a wild man with a lot to say.
I am doing well. I will be hitting my third tri next week and I am still in shock that there will be two little monsters in our house this summer.
DS is 19 months. Since Spring has hit, the best way I can describe him is "boisterous". He is very focused on pinching others, especially other kids. We have to have a lot of talks about being nice and gentle to our friends. There are tantrums because . . . life is hard as a toddler.
He's very interested in the potty, and beginning to recognize when he has to poop, so I'm hoping he'll be ready to poop in the potty soon.
I'm 17 weeks, and definitely feeling more like myself again.
Just turned 19 months, he is doing great. He is so funny and really sweet, but he is a caveman. He and DD are best friends/ worst enemies and I love the interaction between them.
DD, 4.5, has some GI appts coming up. Background: she had a lot of issues as a baby, born with esophogeal ulcers, failure to thrive, constant puker, year long bout with constipation. We thought it was resolved, but she has been having issues again with frequent vomiting and gagging. A abdominal scan showed a malformation in her intestines, not a kink or an obstruction, just something is a little off, so we have the first of several GI appts scheduled for 4/25. Not overly concerned, but definitely hopeful that her stomach will stop hurting her soon.

DD2 will be 19 months tomorrow.
She is doing really well! Since she has been able to walk well her attitude has improved so much. Since stopping PT she has fallen a tiny bit behind on gross motor again (I need to get her climbing up and down stairs on her feet and being able to climb up on the couch), but it's not a concern. She is way more a typical 1.5 yo. than her big sister was - more tantrumy, more mischevious - but also just as hilarious as a 1.5 yo. can be.
Our lives are crazy. We need to figure out cars and bedrooms for fitting 3 kids. DH is dealing with a worsening foot condition (Morton's neuroma in more than one place) and needs to decide if he is having surgery before the baby gets here or waiting ASAP. I have my anatomy scan tomorrow. I am enjoying a relative honeymoon phase between puking despite medication and the horrors of an irritable uterus in third trimester.

LO is 20 months and doing well. I forgot how amusing kids are at this age (I have a J12 boy as well). He thinks balancing his silverware on his head is the funniest thing every. Definitely has a stubborn streak, but so does DS1 (and myself for that matter).
The warmer weather has a huge positive impact on my mood. Definitely feeling better and love getting out of the house more often with less effort. *poof* removed personal information *poof*
