Hellobee Boards

@josina: It's so hard to keep the older one happy with around the clock nursing for the little one. I'm predicting a lot of screentime in our future once #3 comes Oh - well... just one season of our / their lives.

@Miss Ariel: what is double pneumonia?! That sounds awful! Must have been so crazy in the house!

@snowjewelz: basically it just means pneumonia in both lungs.

@snowjewelz: @FaithFertility: and thank you! Of course driving home from the hospital I was in a minor car accident. Everyone is fine and there's just minor damage to my bumper. Thankfully-ish I only had J in the car with me since my mil had K. Of course the car is brand new since we just replaced our flooded cars and doesn't even have a permanent liscense plate yet. When it rains it sure pours around here!

@miss ariel: man! hope DH recovers quickly, and glad to hear the car accident was just minor. if bad things come in 3s, i think you're tapped out for awhile

@KayKay: @Winniebee: Glad I'm not the only one who relies on screen time then!
@MrsF: You're right, just one season of our lives.
Thanks for the tips everyone! I will add playdoh and kinetic sand to my shopping list. We do paint but E likes to paint himself, not the paper, so that only works when I can give him a bath after, lol.

@Miss Ariel: oh man, awful luck!! So sorry and glad it was just a minor accident, but what a bummer!!
@FaithFertility: lol. You're amazing, not sure I could handle that.

@faithfertility: you are living my nightmare hahaha

@KayKay: Yup - exactly. Especially since it snowed today AND Jack has a fever. We watched mickey mouse all morning while he slept in my arms off and on (luckily M had preschool).

I tried to just enjoy the snuggles

@FaithFertility: Hi! We didn't get nearly as much snow as expected so that was a relief. It also meant that I didn't have to spend the night at work so yay for that

Glad your two are doing well! J is starting to do a little more pretend play as well. Talking to himself a lot while he is playing (though I usually can't understand what's happening). This morning he kept asking if I wanted him to get more money and bringing me "money" in his dump truck. Usually the pretend play is just him having to play "olaf" to Molly's "elsa" or something else directed by her

So many tantrums the past week or so - usually related to him wanting to do something himself that I've already done and really melting down over that. Typical toddler stuff, I know, although M really didn't ever have some of the typical 2 year old stuff so it's a little new to me

27 weeks pregnant (and damn, this gets harder each time!) and basically feeling 100 years old. Baby seems to be doing great though!

@MrsF: You are so close!!!!!!!!!

@snowjewelz: How is today going?

@snowjewelz: I hope things are going well with you back to work! I've been thinking of you

@Adira: How are you dealing with Logan's allergy?

@FaithFertility: No worries - I didn't post about it here! Here's allergic to sesame.

@snowjewelz: So far so good, thanks for asking! I haven't actually done anything differently so far. Just gave daycare some info on sesame allergies and his anaphylaxis action plan. But other than that, he's still eating all the same foods he was before. We even went to Dunks and got a plain bagel for him and it was fine.

@FaithFertility: I actually want her to start preschool on time now (even with the nap drama) b/c preschool becomes a tiny bit cheaper!

@Adira: That's great! I mean, it's still not but at least you haven't had to drastically change anything and do more work!

@snowjewelz: yeah we have been so blessed with her sitter I pay $270 a week for both kiddos!!!!!!!!!! Now G alone would be $225

@FaithFertility: Yeah... I was so so so tempted to do in-home too with Kara at first! Now we're gonna be over 1k per month for her and then adding in K2 in the summer But I am even surprised how much she loves school and learning so so so much. Everyday I'm like, you know this?!

@snowjewelz: glad she likes the new schedule!

Ryan is all about toilet humor later. It's "poopy butt" this and "poopy face" that. Lovely!

We are heading back to Taos this week for an extended weekend sans kids! We haven't been back since our move in July 2014 so really excited to see old friends, visit the old haunts, and eat tons of awesome southwestern cuisine I'm 25 weeks now and nothing is really going on at this point - all of my ultrasounds have been normal. I do have BH contractions, but it almost seems less than what I had with R...hard to remember though.

@winniebee: have a great trip!

hoping to get back to a more normal routine this week. the last 2-3 weeks have been a combo of vacation, visitors, sickness, and potty training

met some friends at the park for 2h yesterday afternoon -- it was so great to finally be outside for an extended time again! total #momfail though: forgot to bring a change of clothes for E! they have bathrooms at the community building at the park, but it closes at 4 and clearly she didn't have to pee until 430 trying to teach a 2y to squat was...not successful haha she tried, though!

@KayKay: ahhhh...know it's a long ways away until your littlest trains, but when Tyler trained, it was summer and we would often hold him horizontally in the air and he would pee! The benefits of a penis

@winniebee: haha -- good call! i will totally relish being the forgetful mom of 3rd kid then, when it's easy to pee standing up (or horizontal, as the case may be!). until then, i dug out the potette today and hung it next to the strollers.

@winniebee: No guilt mama! Sounds wonderful and I'd take all I could get. I'm pretty sure our next overnight "alone" will be spent in labor & delivery
