Babies on the Brain

So......this place is kind of boring.

Let's spice things up! What's the story, morning glory? How is life? Doing anything exciting?  Doing anyone exciting? Any fun holiday plans? Any fun holiday stories?  Any plain old funny stories?

Let us dish!
Me? Life has been busy, but good.  Switching gears to a much earlier morning schedule, so that sucks.  We're officially starting to be open to TTC again which is both exciting and scary, but it's now or never being as it took 4 years (and one m/c) with Luke.  We're not holding out a lot of hope because of the initial RE dx, but we're not really talking seriously about going down the RE path again as we can't (don't want to) take out that much money on a gamble. 

No real fun holiday plans or stories. 

Luke is a pretty funny little kid.  He knows that "damn it" is a Mommy word, he loves watching Food Network, Psych and NCIS (although not in that order).  He told his Dad to "suck it" (ala Shaun/Gus) and I laughed my ass off.  #Momoftheyear  He is a very vocal and social little shit and is constantly asking strangers "So, what's your name?" (Name) "Hi (Name), I'm Luke.  Where are you from?" (answer) "I'm from (our town).  How was your day?" (answer) "My day was good...I went to school." etc.  A "quick trip" anywhere can take forever if he meets a talkative old lady.    However, he can be a tiny tornado too and has his grandma/papa whipped with his dramatics.

He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be.  He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.  

Re: So......this place is kind of boring.

  • We are traveling to MIL's fir Christmas. Have to drive home on Christmas day because I gave to work the day after, which sucks. Then we are visiting my mom in LV for New Year's, which should be awesome.

    No news on the adoption front, so we just keep waiting. Sad to go another holiday season without a kiddo, but hopefully it'll be the last.

    Otherwise life consists of work, sleep, and occasionally working out. I should do a better job of that while I can, huh?

  • I love that he told Dad to suck it.  And squeeeeeeeeeee {the excited kind} at the prospect of a possible new member of the Ballsox fam!

    My kids are doing great.  DD is 3 now, too.  She's funny as hell.  My recent favorite was that she was talking about her mygym teacher, Matt.  She's talked about him forever and this week she felt the need to clarify that he is "Matt, not Matt Greene."  Matt Greene is a player on the L.A. Kings.  Um, ok, just in case I was under the impression that an NHL defenseman was teaching her to summersault.  

    DS has started making kissing sounds and doing arms up for "Sooo biiig."  Melts my heart every time.  He's also a huge flirt when we're out in public.  Like, coy little head turns and the whole nine yards.

  • Nothing much going on here. We were in a parade over the weekend. The float I poured blood, sweat, and tears over won the most spirited award! I really lost blood and tears. Haha. Then the stoopid school got their wires crossed and congratulated the wrong group. I don't have the heart to crush the kids by correcting the school.

    No huge plans for the holidays. We will go home. I'm not sure when. GMIL is going to TX. Oh the jokes I can make. Too bad she wouldn't understand.

  • H got hit in the head with a hockey puck while coaching last night. Silly me thought he would be safer on the bench! It was a rough and painful night for him but he was treated on campus has an apt. with the campus nurse today and was up and off to work while I slept this morning.

    We are having a group of students over for Saturday morning for breakfast and Wii games and I am getting overly excited to have them here. Haha,

    We are saving money like crazy again and I can't wait for July so we can open DH's 401k and officially start saving for our retirement.

    Christmas is coming which means my job is a living hell right now and when these kids get of campus on the 20th I am going to cry relief and sleep in as long as I possibly can.

  • My girls are full of life with a dash of chaos. They are both super excited for baby brother to get here. Too bad this kid won't have a name. MH and I just can not agree. He is dead set on one name, and won't listen to anything else.

    We are in the process of turning our office into a nursery. It's not going fast enough for me, but I can't really help MH sort his stuff. People are right when they say baby #3 gets the short straw.

  • Fred if you were a bad parent you wouldn't be looking into resources to help her. Some kids need a little exta.

    This.  I say keep doing what you're doing, and pay attention to your inkling about the right environment.

    @fredalina im not completely aware of yoursituation but in my personal opinion ( as a teacher myself) your daughter is quite young for that type of diagnosis so I wouldn't worry too much unless you think you need to.remember, you know your kid better than anyone. GL.

  • @Brewcitygal where the heck have you been?  I was thinking about you the other day because I remembered you were almost done with school.  Good luck with the NCLEX!

    PS, the girls are adorable.

  • Hi :)

    Busy here with the boys, school and trying not to go crazy with DH OOT.

    Sick kiddos, plus 3 finals plus me being sick makes for a cranky gadget.

  • Hi! I am still checking out the bump scene, transplant from  the knot:) I was married in Sept. 

    All of your kiddos are totes adorable. I don't have any myself yet, but I am in that phase when I see a cute kid I want to steal them and take them home. 

    @fredalina, sorry your lo is having some tough times. Looks like she has an amazing and caring mom on her side to help her through this though! :)

  • Fred- stop explaining yourself. You know what Carlot needs. You are doing everything you can to help her. Well, except buying her that Barbie she wants. ;) BTW I miss your face!

  • I've missed you ladies!  I'm just bad about remembering to post and between the very needy toddlers and working as a nurse intern and doing 16 hours a week at another internship, it was a crazy semester. I'm looking forward to being completely being done, though I'm getting anxious about the NCLEX already, so I'll be much better when that's totally done.
    I love your new siggy pic! Too cute.

    Hey everyone :)

    DH and I are both so busy. Even though he isn't working at the moment, he has been so busy with his fire dept that he has been there just about every day. He will be filling in as chief a few times this week, so he has been really making sure all his ducks are in a row. I have been swamped with work stress. I lost two sales recently and have been so disappointed but the future is bright. I hope to bag a big sale by the end of the year, with a discounted price of $365,000. :)

    We have no little ones but I'm due to take a test soon. My ridiculous cycles are probably to blame for my nonexistent AF, but our decision is to test once a month until AF shows up. Until I turn a test, I will remain the mom to four kitties. Some days I feel like a single mom when the things most commonly heard in our place are "get down from there! Don't slap your sister! What are you eating? Hey! NO!" My youngest two do this funny thing where they stand on their hind legs with their front paws up, and slap at each other aimlessly. It's funny every single time.

    Maybe Auntie MW should buy it for her
    :P

  • Auntie MW knows better. Though the face on Char was priceless when she asked me for Barbie.
