stop lurking/come back to j13

Man it's been a rough month (in a good way). Missing you ladies, and it's been difficult to get back on here. I feel like I've missed so much, and like a non participator (for shame!).
I'm sure there are others out there.
So, how are you?
What's new?
What's old?
How's toddler? (How it pains me to say that - toddler!?)
Bonus points:what's been happening on j13? I saw the luvfood bs. Poor vals.

Re: stop lurking/come back to j13
What's new? My roof! Went with a lighter brown that really lightens the whole place up.
What's old? My job.i used to love it, now I don't. We're going through a huge transition there and I simply can't finish the projects I've been assigned while on a part time schedule.
Baby I is perfect. He runs all over, hugs, talks up a storm, and is currently obsessed with pumpkins. I swear he says at least one new word per day. I love his inflections. Drops something and says "ohhhhhh no" very dramatically. Then I ask him what happened and he just goes "eh?". It's so silly. He finds nearly everything giggle worthy. Watching roofers tear shingles off and toss them into the dump, I thought for certain he'd cry, but he just laughed and laughed. We've tried getting him into his crib for bed, but here he lies with me snuggled up to my boob. I'm okay with that.
What's new ? Returned to work mid September so it's been chaotic organizing the kids schedules and be a functioning adult at work, but I missed my job, still love the job but lots of changes I'm trying to get used to!
What's old? Dh working all the time still, sometimes it's ok, sometimes it sucks.....like when there's chores to be done!!
Allison is great! Still cries at daycare drop off...a lot!! But it's all transition and she'll figure it out!! She's running everywhere and she too is having new words almost daily.... Her favourite is to say gentle and stroke your face....so cute, then she forgets about gentle and smacks you!! I fall for it every time!

So glad to see you back @cuterusaurus
How are you? pretty good overall!
What's new? Just handling the schedule of working/school/trying to do 100XXX things at once!
What's old? I would love to get our budget and household on a better schedule. It's exhausting to always feel behind.
How's the toddler? Eli is so great! He's such a good boy and moving over to the toddler room at DC. Yesterday he slept on a mat and looked so so cute!
I am doing okay. Really struggling with life/work balance but its only been a couple of weeks.
Whats new? Not much, working is still new.
Whats old? Working is getting old fast.
Toddler?!? Awesome as always. He adjusted to daycare no problem and seems to enjoy going. He misses me though and is perm attached to me when we get home.
I am doing okay. Definitely stressed and tired, but excited that fall is here and my LO and I can start spending more time outside!
What's new: A few weeks after DH left on deployment, we found out that we would be PCSing and his check-in date in Pensacola would be about 2-3 weeks after he got home from deployment. So I went there and contracted with a builder. I close on our new house on December 31. I'm also working on getting our house in Jacksonville on the market. I'm in the fixing up stage and hope to have it listed on November 1. It's been lots of craziness over here.
What's old: Taking care of LO on my own. The hardest time of day is definitely the 5-7 PM timeframe. Probably because that is when I am used to having DH's help. But we are almost halfway done with this!
How's the toddler: he's great! Hates sleep, but gives big hugs and kisses and loves to dance and play outside.
How am I? I'm doing good, very tired and sometimes overwhelmed with two lo's now. It's been an adjustment, I keep hoping for the day that this new lo naps better.
What's new? Nothing much, same old same old.
What's old? Dh's attitude, it's been hard for him to adjust to having two as well and he is not a patient person, which is not helpful sometimes.
How's the toddler? She is great, I love the time I get to spend with her on this maternity leave also. She is super busy and I love watching her explore and learn new things!
I've been having trouble finishing a thought, much less a post, so I'm a sporadic lurker these days.
Aannnd, that's all the time I have. F it, I'm gonna hit reply anyway. Hello everyone!
What's new? G self-weaned almost completely now which is a bittersweet experience, I miss our nursing sessions but he became more cuddly with me too. I may start with the pill (or the ring) soon as we are planning on TTC until next year after the summer! ALso, my little sis got KU, she is only 20 so she is quite nervous but she's got all the support from family and friends and she and her BF love their baby so I am confident they'll figure things out.
What's old? Not having time for myself... my haircut for example, last time I did it was a year ago O.O shame on me!
How's toddler? which toddler? I have a 14 mo BABY :P he's great, he is so freaking tall now and very fast but not a word is coming from his mouth... except mom and dad (btw, he got 2 molars and 2 front teeth in 1 week... poor little guy)
I was gone a while. It was a crazy first year with my high needs little man.
What's new? I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroid and since starting on meds feel like the bionic woman. I was having crazy anxiety and irritability and was way tired and sluggish and all that is resolved. I'm a much better mom and happier person all around.
What's old? Getting my kids out of the house in the morning. My DD1 is like a 14 year old in a very small package and we are having some epic fashion battles amongst others.
How's the toddler? Logan is my heart. He loves me so much it melts me every time I see him. He is very physical and is in perpetual motion/nonstop action. He is much slower in the words department but effectively communicates his demands with piercing screams and full body slamming gestures. He is very impatient and has quite a temper. Happily, he outgrew his food allergies and bowel issues and mostly his sleep issues too!
Happy to be back here!

What's new? Work is hard dude! We have a new principal and while she's a breath of fresh air, she has high expectations and right deadlines. In a little fried I guess.
What's old? Lack. Of. Sleep. @-) L is going through something I have no clue but sleep needs to happen for at least two nights consistently. Please!?
Oh man, toddler!! This first year went by so fast I can't believe it. L is amazing, my everything. She's affectionate but independent and sassy but so sweet and helpful too. She keeps giving this 3 year old boy at daycare hugs and kisses when I drop her off it's adorable! (DH doesn't think so lol).
I'm sure there are others out there.
So, how are you?
What's new? Oh man, so much is new. We are moving in two weeks to Joplin, MO for a promotion that I was offered. I'm really excited but DH is not really very hapy right now. He was on board until just a couple weeks ago, after id already accepted. Missouri ladies, where you at!?
What's old? Hmm. Idk! Me haha
How's toddler? (How it pains me to say that - toddler!?) oh she is soooo good! She's the funniest little human ever. I don't even know where to begin, so here is an adorable photo.
