Hi ladies! We're busy packing bags, getting paperwork and trying to prepare for just me and leo for a month. We went to costco last night and got water, tp, and diapers.
Proud mama moment: Leo said his first sentence this morning! He realized his dad had left and said "papa bye bye".
Not much going on today, tonight MIL is coming over to watch the kiddos so I can go to a pitch tournament birthday party. I am so excited for some adult time!
I've been so busy this week at work, haven't had time to post! Just LT'd a few things. Hope everyone is well.
littlelion yay Leo! Ch has been making more sense when she talks too- I'm getting "ya" and "no" answers when i ask her questions. I've been surprised by what she seems to understand! She also twice now has brought me the Tula and asked me to carry her. Is also super obsessed with animals all of which are called doggies. So cute. Need to take her to the zoo sometime soon!
We are going to my cousin's baby's first birthday party today. It will be the first time Ch sees that side of the family. I'm a little nervous? Or something? I feel weird because their family is like 3x wealthier than mine and our parents have a really strained relationship. They always ask me really pointed questions and wind up making me feel insecure. But I do want to see them and Ch's little cousin. Just have to stay light and baby-focused!
littlelion that's so sweet! I hope you're able to get in some good family time today. nemomof2 enjoy that adult time! bkmama0 way to go Ch! I hope you're able to enjoy the birthday party and that your relatives don't make it awkward. tomorrowisanotherday haven't heard from you in awhile- how's the new job going?
Oof, my day started early. Dh was gone The cat was being a pain in the ass and demanding to be fed at 5. I got up to feed her and she ate to fast and yakked it all up. And then lo woke up 45 minutes later soaking wet. Thank God for coffee!
I feel really dumb asking this- we only use disposables at night, so if he's peeing out the top, is it time to move to the next size? He's been in size 3 for forever it feels like.

I would say yes on the diapers but we switched to a 4 even though my LO is super skinny and he still occasionally pees out the top- he's a very heavy wetter overnight though. Maybe worth. Try? What brand do you use?

ashlantic we also use disposables at night time and a couple weeks ago went to size 4. They feel really big, but he was leaking through the 3's. They've been working though. I say you try some 4's out. You can always save them for when he fits in them better if they don't work.

Yesterday was kind of crazy. Thankfully DH comes home from his trip in a couple hours.
I noticed our hallway carpet was wet yesterday afternoon so I went into the guest bathroom and our diaper sprayer was leaking (totally my fault-I didn't turn if off all the way so it was leaking a bit of water) and our entire bathroom floor was covered in water. The hallway inbetween the bathroom and bedrooms is also soaked. I rushed around and grabbed a bunch of towels and soaked up all the water in the bathroom. A friend of mine brought over a shopvac and I started on the carpet, but I knew I needed to pull them up so I stopped. LO was cranky at this point so I had to put everything on hold. Another friend came over with a big fan to help dry it out. As soon as she came in the door she helped me so much and went to work. We pulled back the carpet in our main hallway and took out the floor padding and vacuumed up the water. Now the carpet is folded over and hanging and drying. Unfortunately I totally ruined the carpet in between the bedroom/bathroom. It's all connected so I had to cut the carpet out. Looking back I wish I didn't do this, but oh well it's done now. I'm hoping that once it's dry we can just set it back in until we are financially ready to get new carpets/flooring.
Sigh. Why must this always happen when your husband is out of town? I'm glad I had friends who came and helped.
ashlantic I agree with PP about the size 4s we use disposables all the time and when he starts consistently leaking through them, I know it's time to switch. I was also going to page tomorrow and see how she was doing! Beat me to it

I'm in class all day today. I feel like my presentation went well so that's a plus. Hopefully we get our grades right after. We're going to see a house as soon as I'm done here.

littlelion good luck getting everything ready! Feel free to ignore if it's a stressful topic, but were you able to find child care yet?? That's so exciting Leo is putting words together! nemomof2 hope you have a great time at the party! bkmama0 that's so cute she brings you the Tula! Hope you have fun at the party and are able to avoid any awkward convos! ashlantic sorry for the early morning. B has been in 3's for a long time too and pees through the top about once a week. I'm thinking about doing 4's just at night since we don't have a problem during the day. BabyStandish omg that sucks! Especially since YH wasn't home. Glad your friends were there to help, you did what you could. Hope your weekend isn't as crazy. ourcrazynavylife glad your presentation went well, GL with the house!
Sorry kcrus this is where I'm at too. Mh and I stupidly planned an egg hunt at my house for my inlaws. It was supposed to be the week before Easter but it was too cold so now it's tomorrow. Our house is a mess and we should really be going through things to pack and sell, not trying to clean up for company. But we stopped and didn't do either for awhile while we watched basketball...ahh back to frantically cleaning!!
sgio7485 we usually use Huggies because that's what available at Costco. Lo is a pretty heavy wetter overnight too. BabyStandish ugh, that stinks. Water troubles are the worst! I'm glad your friends were able to come so you weren't dealing with it on your own. ourcrazynavylife how's your class going? It's gotta be getting close to wrapping up, no? littlelion we've got snow over here too. In the time it took me to grocery shop yesterday we went from no snow to an inch on the ground. Crazy! kcrus and reginaphalange3 I'm a procrastinator too. The struggle is real!
We tried lo in size 4s last night. No idea if they worked because he was up a bunch last night. Don't know what his deal was.
Watched Trainwreck with dh last night. It felt nice to just sit and relax. I really liked the movie! DH really liked the 1/2 hour he saw before he fell asleep. Lol Hope all you ladies are having a good Sunday.

ashlantic. Yes it's almost done. I've got one more written assignment & a discussion board left. But my other class is just getting started so a ton to do for that (it was a quarter class instead of semester)
Crazy morning here. Last night was a whirlwind of activity helping dh pack. I also had to get some work started. Dh kept asking me if I'd miss him because it sure didn't look like it. :rolleyes: I'll let him know later I ugly cried when he texted me his flight was about to take off.
We also discussed leo and I going to visit him in another week or so. But those plans got trashed this morning. I poas and got a bfp! We're over the moon happy. I've already started taking all my meds and will most likely get lots of bw and tests this 1st tri. I really hope this baby sticks! EDD 12-15-16.
