Who wants to give an update?

ASmallWonder · September 2014

I've been a bad B, and not in a good way. The Spam threads the last few weeks have gotten away from me because work has been crazy. I feel like there's so much going on with everyone and I've lost track.

So, true spamminess aside, if you want to share, post a quick general update of what's up in your life (good and bad).

Me: nothing major. Q finally STTN, Aiden started soccer. My work situation has improved even though it's still not great but I'm not looking for a new job right now. I get my CPST certification next week!

So spill so I can give hugs or high fives

ETA: It should go without saying that love its for less than good things are love its of support

@CL8badB that's awesome! GL with baby #2!

@ChicagoChic82 the egg allergy is such a bummer

But I've got really high hopes that the failure to thrive diagnoses was extreme. Yours is one of the updates I did catch and I still think that you've got a robust little guy who just hasn't figured out how to eat enough to offset the major calorie burn that comes with being a mobile 15 month old.

It makes me sad but I haven't been able to keep up with the spam threads at all since about July.

Things are fine. DD has been a stage 4 cling on lately which makes life interesting. I'm super overwhelmed with work, school and taking care of everything at home. I'm trying to have a better attitude (after having a crappy couple of weeks) and so far today I've been pretty productive! I hope I can keep this up.

Finally booked our cruise for January.

We all had some kind of stomach virus last week that we passed on to other members of the family. Whoops! But no more sickness in my house.

We have also started a discussion to possibly sell or rent out our home and move on to something easier to maintain. (easier said than done.)

I started a new job today. Working full time now. H and I won't be seeing each other much until he gets a different position. Lily doesn't seem notice much of it. SIL will be watching Lily the one day a week that H works and I'm working. She agreed to all of my terms, but will be getting paid $80 for one day a week.

I still haven't had a period in like 6 months. I bought some tests, but have been too lazy to take them. I'm on BC, so I'm not extremely worried.

Suddenly, Lily has become very lovey. I don't know if it's because her allergies (out door) or if she just decided that she wants to be a lover.

Nothing new here, I mostly lurk on Spam during the week and then lose track on the weekends.

I've decided I need to get more serious about job searching and am trying to stay motivated about sending out resumes. DD is now walking 80-90% of the time and has 5 or 6 words.

Owen finally graduated to a convertible cat seat. It came in a few days ago, since I had to order it.
We are still working on him sleeping in his own room and bed. He's getting much better. He slept through the night again last night in his own bed.
He's able to walk again, without support. No more motrin, or limping.
We are working on preparing him for a little brother. We point to my belly and tell him about the baby brother he's got in there. I have a cabbage patch doll that I got when I was 1. I've saved it for hopefully my daughter one day. DH pulled it out of the box and Owen loves it! He carries it around abs hugs it and gives it kisses. We are working on nice touching. I have a wooden cradle my Grandpa made when I turned one also, which I still have. DH pulled that out too and Owen puts baby in its bed with a blanket.
DH and I toured and registered at the birth center on Saturday. It's really nice. Makes it so much more real this is happening soon.
We then went and window shopped for Christmas gifts for the kids. Just doing that made me so so excited that in the next year Owen will have a little buddy close in age. I'm still nervous how I'm going to deal, but I can't be more excited!
I *think* DH and I are getting close to naming the new baby. I have a name in mind that feels good, feels right, and I love. It's hard having to pick names with DH because he doesn't put allot of input into names. I'm fairly certain this name I like will be little man's name though.

I think that's it. For now.
I can never keep up on the spam thread. I've tried.

@momofcatan good idea to get serious about job hunting now because hirings tend to slow down once the holidays roll around since so many people are out of the office. Good luck!

@megsw85 Um, that's too sweet about the boys and the lullaby. Do you get to see your bff often?

@subliminalrabbit your life just needs to calm down

Hopefully many nights of awesome sleep are in your future.

itsStackie · September 2014

Oh yea we finally got a new convertible car seat too. Broke a sweat putting it in correctly last night. (TWHS)

Two more weeks of rehearsal, and "of Mice and Men" opens October 3rd! I am enjoying every second of it (sketchy dude has backed off).

15 month check up in a half hour. E still isn't walking and is having some weird sleep issues (mostly she is fighting naps and waking up earlier than usual).

DH's mom is going through chemo, and is responding very well. DH and I have had some tension because of everything we have been going through emotionally, but we are getting through it, and I sense that this is only strengthening our marriage in the long run.

I am looking at going back to school part-time, and we are discussing TTC #2 next summer. DH and I have been working our asses off at the gym and sticking to a strict diet for the past two months.

He has lost 25 lbs. I have lost 5. Yeah...

megaroo64 · September 2014

First off - I love this thread! I have had basically zero time to keep up with the Spam thread - so I am glad to see what is up with everyone!!!

The megaroo house is kinda boring. Oh yeah- except #2 is due in about 10 days. Where the hell did this pregnancy go!! I swear I just got my BFP. I am still struggling with some denial that we are actually having another baby. But I feel like we are "prepared" - at least as good as we are going to be.

Work is going well - they brought me back part time this year (at first I was going to leave all together and SAH for awhile, but when they offered me part time - it was the best of both worlds!). DH got a promotion, which is great - but he is a little more stressed at work.

B is busy busy busy. All day he just runs around the house. He has recently gotten really in to books - which is adorable. And he learned the word "again" - so pretty much the second we finish a book, he grabs it and says "again" - also adorable. I recently finished a quiet book for him that I am going to give to him at the hospital when the new baby arrives.

Well - that's about it!
