Hellobee Boards

@MamaG: @winniebee: Sorry for the sick kiddos! I have heard of strep going around already also, glad we didn't get it!

So I gave E oatmeal again this weekend after a week off, and no reaction. So weird? I wonder if it was just related to the fever/virus he had. Glad though because he loves his 'ee oh'

@MamaG: Oh yuck I'm glad you have an answer at least!

@josina: Hmm... that's good that he can have it again!

@snowjewelz: K too! She's always giving people directions (move, hold it, up) although I've been trying to at least get her to add please as well. She will repeat please, but rarely says it on her own.

I'm not sure I mentioned it but we moved K to a toddler bed and she's done really well. I didn't think she would but she surprised me. (It actually wasn't my decision but my mil took down the toddler bed they used for my niece and nephew and took out the packandplay and hour before nap time one Saturday.) she's had no problem going to sleep at night, but there's been a handful of naps where I've laid down with her. She also can't open the door so she'll wake up and start knocking on it. But overall it's been going well.

I love hearing all of the little sayings that everyone's kids are coming up with! E's favorite of mine lately is saying "sorry" instead of "excuse me"...which is hilarious when she is roughly pushing you out of the way to get to something and being like "sorry, mama....sorry" but clearly she actually ISN'T sorry because she doesn't stop. Or maybe she just means "i'm sorry that you are in my way" haha

Anyone w/ 2+ kids where your younger totally bullies the older around? Just me? haha E knows *exactly* how to get under K's skin! it would totally be funny if it didn't mean that K starts whining/hollering/crying for help. i'm always like "K...you are twice as big as her. just tell her you don't want to play like that, walk away and close the door to your room" Pure craziness over here!

@Miss Ariel: Glad that transition went smoothly!

@KayKay: The younger is definitely the instigator around here. M really lets him have it though - screaming at him, pushing him It's hard to watch. I know that he's doing things to provoke her, but I don't really usually know that anything's going on until she's freaking out. So then I'm correcting her when I know he probably started it. It's tough

@Miss Ariel: Awesome that K is doing well in the toddler bed!

Love all the new words.

I'm really curious how all the pregnant momma's are doing?!
DD? How far along? Do you know what you're having/are you finding out? Fears/Excitement regarding your toddler and new LO?

DD: Feb 22nd. I am 18 weeks tomorrow, we find out in 2 weeks and can't wait!
The photo from Mrs Dolphin's post today w/ her and Lion made me tear up, the idea of my baby not being my baby anymore. I know he'll be a great big brother though since he LOVES babies, but he does get super jealous if I'm holding another baby. I'm looking forward to giving him a sibling near his age to play with.

I'm due October 13, which means I'll be 37 weeks on Friday! Yikes! We're team green again although I feel like it's a boy.

I'm not sure how K is going to do, but the past few months she's shown how resilient she can be. But I imagine it's going to be hard for her going from living in a house with just her and 4 adults to, hopefully, being in a brand new house with just me, dh and a baby. She does love to "help" but I imagine the biggest issue will be that we don't let her help with everything she wants.

And her tone of ok was definitely not asking but telling

@KayKay: My DH just got over pneumonia, but luckily we didn't catch it. He's never had it before & that was no fun. M didn't understand why he had to stay away from Dada.

Loving all the new words & phrases these kids have! M was walking with me 2 nights ago & get signing "more please" so we'd keep walking. That was a first! Then last night he kept telling Dada to "go" & was pointing at the gate to get back into our apt complex.

@josina: M always got super jealous when I'd hold my downstairs neighbors lil girl (she's 2 weeks younger than him). E will be a great big brother!

@josina: Uggh how awful! Every time I talk about maternity benefits (or mainly the lack of) I just get angry!

@josina: we found out today closing is Monday!!! Yeah! We're planning on moving next Saturday which gives us time to get everything else set up.

@Miss Ariel: Good to hear!!!!!!

@MamaG: ohh no

@MamaG: Oh shit. No pun intended.

@MamaG: Ugh - I hope she's back to school soon!

@snowjewelz: That's great that she loves daycare so much!

@Miss Ariel: That sucks to miss out on the better benefits and YAY for closing Monday!

@FaithFertility: Can't wait to see all the pics of G and AJ together.
@MamaG: lol, not to her being sick, but to her being mad that she's staying home. Hope shes better soon!
@whenoceansrise: How are you feeling? Ugh to the long wait before your appt!

@mamag: those types of sickness are SO annoying! when K was at daycare FT, they had the same sort of 2-3 loose stools/gone for 24hrs sort of rule. but they only considered them "loose" if they were leaking out of the diaper -- as long as it was contained (and no other symptoms, obvs), they were pretty good about letting it go. if it was leaking, that was definitely an exposure hazard. E had 2 bouts of the not-leaky-but-still-softer-than-normal belly bug in August that was otherwise symptomless. It lasted almost a week each time -- so hopefully yours goes quicker! Fill her up with bananas and cheese!

LO3 is baking away, and the belly is getting to the "sorry, mom, no room for food" stage -- and I still have 12w to go! We were TG for awhile, but ended up opening our gender envelope as a family on Labor Day...and it's a boy! K was very excited since she "already has a little sister" We are excited too!

@KayKay: Ah, this is great!! A boy!

Ughhh I posted on FB but G is going to kill me! Up again at 5:45 she is up and wide awake!!!!

She only napped 30mins at daycare yesterday I went to out her to bed at 7:45 and she held on to me.like a monkey and cried for almost 20mins between DH and I gong in and telling her it was bed time! GIRL SLEEP!
