Man, that smash cake looks better than my regular cakes.

km_md · January 2015

So many hugs @TJ1979‌ that sucks so bad. You are such a rockstar dealing with so many sensitivities.

@charmingthemoon‌ your smash cake looks awesome!! Be sure to AW some pics for us. I can't believe our babies are almost 1 already.

DH is going to his company's holiday party tonight. There will be an open bar, fancy dinner, and gambling with fake money for really cook prizes (like tablets and such). Meanwhile I will be at home trying to get two fussy, sick kids to bed. I am trying really hard not to be insanely jealous.

My belly button popped out and I'm only 9 weeks. Why is the bloating so bad this time? Unless there are like 5 babies in there that I don't know about this is just insane.

There is nothing better for the ole self esteem than getting a great haircut.

TJ1979 · January 2015

CTM E wouldn't smash her cake either. So I smashed it for her to try to encourage her. Then she just tried to clean it up. You can see how unimpressed she is. But it was still really fun and you will cherish the memories as much as the pictures.

My E

TJ1979 · January 2015

@sarenu1‌ Your E rocked the smashing! And I totally forgot it was your crown I ripped off. Haha. It looks great on him!

Her.

C would only poke his cake.

And the crown was a Pintrest find anyway.

TJ1979 · January 2015

Well look at me gender stereotyping and mixing up your two kids. Sorry, I suck. I even know E's name, and it is OBVIOUSLY a girl's name.

Into+the+Kitty · January 2015

@sarenu1 she totally has your eyes.

Into+the+Kitty · January 2015

Because she's posted a picture if herself and has the same eyes.

Her's are actually blue/grey. Mine are green/hazel.

Today's my wedding anniversary. One year. My husband brought me flowers, and I've prepared an array of leftover homemade chili and leftover takeout thai food. This isn't ideal.

We forgot ours once. A card reminded us.

TJ1979 · January 2015

Happy anniversary @ovenrack‌, it's our 6th. And mh is in OKC, and I spent the whole day cleaning house, then inventing errands to keep us out of the house for 5 hours for showings on the house. I'm making chef salad for dinner. Not ideal either.

sarenu1 · January 2015

Leftover pork chops and apples with some couscous for me.

My husband is out for a business dinner tonight.

I'm trying to decide whether I should have a glass of wine or a gin and seltzer.

TJ1979 · January 2015

Gin.

sarenu1 · January 2015

And C approves of white chocolate.

stoneycakes · January 2015

@TJ1979 and @ovenrack, you have the same anniversary? Ours is the 4th and was also super lame.

flummadiddle85 · January 2015

Thanks for all the ideas to keep my nieces and nephew busy inside today since it's another subzero day. Instead oobleck I made cloud dough (didn't have enough cornstarch for enough oobleck, but flour is plentiful), played with play Doh, decorated cupcakes cones with the leftover frosting from the freezer from Christmas, and threw crayons and such a them towards the end. I also put on some dance/movement music videos to keep them moving but not running around crazy in the house.

TJ1979 · January 2015

Aaaaaand my toddler just locked me and my dog outside. With no phone. No key. No garage door opener. No jacket. No umbrella.

I'm assuming you got back in, since you are leaving posts.

E did this to my husband, I always double check keys now.

sarenu1 · January 2015

Sorry bump wanted me to double post

Mandmeesh · January 2015

Oh no, TJ!!!!!!!

unaveragejane · January 2015

How did you get back in, TJ?

Omg guys, I don't know what's going on with M. She would barely nurse without screaming earlier. Wouldn't sleep. I thought teething, so we gave her some tylenol. No go. If I brought out of the bedroom she would be ok for 10 minutes or so and then start fussing/eye rubbing, so I would try to get her to bed again. She would be fine at first but within a minute she would scream again. The weird part is really the no nursing. She loves food, she never doesn't nurse. And I kept checking and have plenty of milk. I finally have her asleep in the boba (2 hours later than usual), but I anticipate her waking up on transfer. Any ideas? Suggestions?

Ear infection? Fever?

Tylenol doesn't work for C.

TJ1979 · January 2015

I managed to talk E into unlocking the door. After 5 minutes of her crying at the door that she "needs" me. Well then unlock the door and let me in you little stinker!

@mapleme maybe you were right and it is an ear infection. Or any signs of HFM?.

unaveragejane · January 2015

@mapleme Oh no! I hope M starts feeling better soon. You might check and see if she's old enough for Advil/Motrin now. I think 6 months is the accepted minimum, but Google will know for sure.

TJ1979 · January 2015

Yes, it's 6m for Motrin and dosage is 1.25.
Speaking of, P did NOT react to target brand of ibuprofen, but I'm still almost positive it was the local store brand of ibuprofen that she reacted to.

km_md · January 2015

Happy anniversary TJ and OR!!

(Any way I say that I feel like I'm celebrating the two of you being married to each other)

Maple my thought would be ear infection. The only time ever that E didn't want to nurse was when she had an ear infection. I hope M is feeling better soon and you get some sleep!

TJ1979 · January 2015

@stringy813‌ Nope, no phone. Couldn't even bump while I was locked out. (Also, that was in the OP, gosh you're pretty.

) And P was sitting on the living room floor. Luckily I could see her from where we both were.

OR thanks for telling everyone I'm a 50 yo dude. Way to keep a secret. You're the worst wife I've ever had.

I love toddler beds. That is all.

Really? I'm kind of terrified to put N in a toddler bed. He has never tried to climb out of the crib, and he sleeps pretty well in it. I'm tempted to leave him in it until he's 3 or 4.

unaveragejane · January 2015

Okay, I hate to mention it, but there is supposedly an 8 month wakeful. I think it falls in line with the teeth and brain development thing. But hopefully it's just that and not that she's getting sick.

could crawling or something like that be just around the corner? All hell broke loose once V figured how to pull to standing in the crib.... which was after he had been cruising around for a bit. For some reason standing in the crib was harder.

Then leave him! It has just worked wonders for my personal bedtime battle.

I'm so happy that little M is sleeping better now!

I looked at one of those things that were something like top 10 sleep mistakes parents make. One of them was moving to a bed too soon and suggested not doing so until 2yo at least. But I still think the toddler bed helped V's sleep troubles, not hurt, and he was 16 MO when we moved him.

flummadiddle85 · January 2015

GUISE! My friend is TTC, and asked about CDs when she came to visit today! I showed her my whole stash! And told her everything! Plus, she already knows I'm crazy, so I didn't have to worry about her thinking that. I might have another CDing friend soon!

freezorburn · January 2015

@Mapleme is she eating other food and just not nursing? Hope she settles down soon, but if not ... A friend of mine's baby went on a couple of nursing strikes around that age. I don't know what one does to get through it, but apparently it can be a thing.
