@KayKay: Ooh - I really like the sleeping bag idea for Christmas for both kids. They were fighting over a blanket this morning. Love things that would work for both!
-
@KayKay: 11/6 is my birthday! Great day to celebrate
I forgot! I am working with a local mom to make a custom busy book for K! I totaaaally forgot about it haha.

double post
-
@snowjewelz: still no progress.... So who knows!
-
I had my doctor's appointment today and there was no heartbeat. I'm supposed to decide if I want to try and pass it on my own or if I want him to do a D&C. I don't even know what to do
-
@whenoceansrise:
so sorry, mama.
-
@whenoceansrise: Oh no, how awful.
Especially since you had to wait so long for your appointment. I'm so sorry. Hugs. 
-
@whenoceansrise: oh no. I'm so sorry.
-
@whenoceansrise: Oh I am so so so so so sorry to hear
Take your time to think about it... We are here for you I am heartbroken that you have to go through this -
@whenoceansrise: Ohhhh I so sorry! I am sicksick! Praying for you and DH
-
@whenoceansrise: oh, I am so sorry
-
@whenoceansrise: I am so sorry
-
@whenoceansrise: Oh I'm so sorry for your loss
-
@KayKay: @josina: @Miss Ariel: @snowjewelz: @FaithFertility: @theotherstark: @AngelicOne: @MrsF: Thank you everyone. I am such a mess right now. I think we are going to go ahead with the D&C. This is all just so overwhelming for me.
-
@whenoceansrise: so sorry. I can't imagine the whirlwind of emotion you are in.
-
@whenoceansrise: Thinking of you today
I hope you can get it over with asap and the procedure will go smoothly!
-
@whenoceansrise: I'm so sorry!! The heartbreak of a loss is just devastating
I think you'll find stories of women who have made both choices here. I've never had a D&C but from what I've read here, it seems hat it can be physically easier to recover from. Sending you love -
Hitting?!
G has been doing it more latley
Her sitter has 2 boys that are big hitters "not putting blame on them" but they are having a hard time with a new baby there
And her sitter said they are acting out more, G doesn't there but will get upset about something with us and hit, her hit is not hard but a hit is a hit
I usually get up walk away and say I won't let you hit me
Then ask her to tell me sorry!Any advice?!
-
@FaithFertility: M hits sometimes too. We usually just say "no you don't hit" or "please don't hit us" or something like that. No clue where he got it from. His new thing is to throw things when he's frustrated.
Baby AJ ever getting evicted? LOL
-
@whenoceansrise: I'm so sorry for your loss.
-
@AngelicOne: AJ is cozy! I go back Thursday so they said we will talk.induction if I make it to. then?!
-
@faithfertility: we do have some hitting (mostly on her older sister), and in several instances, some biting of her sister. i'm trying to teach K to handle it, but when it gets too annoying, i separate, say "i won't let you hit/bite her", and then either take her to do something else OR (just started to do this) started showing her things she could hit (a pillow, etc). she just generally has more defiant behavior though -- everything from putting things in her mouth that she knows she shouldn't, trying to touch us with dirty hands at the dinner table, putting her foot on her sister's side of the stroller, kicking during diaper changes, etc. i try to handle it all similarly in that i don't give her much of an emotional reaction and then try to redirect her to something more appropriate. it's so hard, though!!
-
@KayKay: Yes that is my big thing, I dont give her an emotinnal reaction DH on the other hand gets more emotional I try to explain to him if she gets a rise out of you, ex: jumping on couch... when You said no and you start to get upset and chase her off it now is a game!!!
Ughhhh so hard!
Wonder why they are solo cute -
Ryan is just....very two right now. Hitting, trying to hit, freaking out about things that don't matter (getting the "wrong" sippy cup, not getting to sit in the "right" seat at the table). He clubbed Tyler over the head with a gourd while I was trying to take a cute picture at a pumpkin patch this weekend. But, he's so cute. I try not to react, though it can be hard when he smacks me in the face.
Has anyone else turned their kiddo to forward facing? Ryan has a Britax Marathon click tight in my car and it's really hard to get him in it these days. I'm fairly certain we switched Tyler at 20 months, but I've been trying to hold out until 2.
-
@whenoceansrise: thinking of you
-
@winniebee: we are very two at our house too. It's trying. Big sister sees it too and alternates between trying to reason with the little and stomping off saying she's so annoying.
We moved K to forward facing last weekend. I was still okay with her rear facing. Dad wasn't. We only kept C rear facing for a year.
-
@winniebee: G has been switched for a bit!
-
@winniebee: E is rear facing right now but I think we will switch him soon, especially in DH's truck his legs are pretty cramped and DH wants to be able to 'see' him better.
-
@winniebee: K is still rear facing. Dh has talked about switching her once or twice, but we have no plans on when it will actually happen.
-
Definitely acting very 2. It can be so frustrating especially when she wants to do everything by herself! Every task now takes three times as long due to miss independent.
Still rear facing - we're hoping to max out the seat's rear facing limits. So far she doesn't seem to mind.
-
@winniebee: we actually took our bench and hid it downstairs bc E was insisting on sitting in that (instead of her booster on a chair). that solved one problem. the next one was that E and K kept moving around chairs and fighting over who sits where, so we instituted a "this is your seat. you sit here every meal, no changes" rule. apparently we were giving both of them too many options!
We haven't turned E forward yet, and we waited until 2.5 with K (I would've waited longer probably). In true 2nd kid fashion, I'm thinking of switching E earlier, mostly so we can get her in a Diono that is lower profile and takes up less space...since I'm going to try to do 3 across when Baby 3 shows up!
-
Just wanted to check in with you ladies. Today is my first day back to work since the D&C and I'm more emotional than I thought I would be. I'm trying, though. Right now that's enough. Thank you all for your support
-
@whenoceansrise: Many Many prayers!!!
-
@whenoceansrise: I've been thinking of you. Much love your way
-
@whenoceansrise: glad you're physically doing well, even if the mental/emotional aspect will take awhile. hang in there, mama. we're thinking of you!
-
@whenoceansrise: Hugs
-
Right along with you guys, Jack is acting more "two" these days than Molly ever did - particularly since he's not even 2. Wants to do *everything* by himself - screaming "I do it!!!", "I need it!!!" or "my turn!!" all day at the top of his lungs. And yes - hitting, trying to kick while I'm changing his diaper...
But also snuggles, kisses and saying "I love you!" from the back seat of the car
Keeps me going!
-
@winniebee: We're going to switch Jack at his birthday. He's getting so frustrated back there - wants to see more and to see what Molly is doing. We turned her at 2 as well. I feel a little guilty, but what else is new?
-
@mrsf: E is particularly attached to this small purple carebear she got from grandma. we just got home from school/gymnastics, and i caught her hugging her bear, saying "i missed you, purple bear. i love you, purple bear" soooo there are some adorable moments too
in between the tantrums, hollering, and fighting!
-
@KayKay: Ughhhh so sweet! Absolutely, amoung the madness I LOVE this age!!!!!!!
Take your time to think about it... We are here for you 
in between the tantrums, hollering, and fighting!
