Roll call and check in!!!

littleredfish · January 2015

We've been even more dead than usual lately! I've been so busy with work I'll admit I've mainly lurked. How about we check in with who's still around and list a couple things about what's new or new to come in the new year.

So obviously I'm still around here and there.

I was finally allowed to hire a new employee so I'll have help now, and will be able to step back and breath a bit.It's only been a week, but I already feel more rested.
DH and I are still trying for #2. Keep your fingers crossed because DH is off for training March for half the year. Only this cycle and then one more before we have to wait until fall to try again!!
My best friend and also BIL are getting married this year and each are on opposite ends of the country, so I have 2 big trips to make this year!
DD will be starting a tumbling/gymnastics class in a few weeks. She likes swimming, but the classes for her age group don't mesh well with our schedule so we found this instead. I think she'll like it.
DH was asked by his preferred unit if he wanted to transfer to them after his final course this year, so we might be moving again. It's not a major move and we'd only be going about an hour west, but we're still very excited for it.

We are still here too! We are really enjoying living in Trenton after our big move. We have DD enrolled at the ymca here so she has a couple classes and swimming lessons every week. We actually have an activity or play date every morning except one during the week but I like it since we get out of the apartment to and it's helped us make new friends here.

I'm here **waving to everyone**

First off, the title of this thread totally made my head go here:

We still haven't conceived #2 yet either and am thinking about taking a break from TTC to try and get myself in shape again. This weekend I had the flu so DD has been staying at my in laws Friday night and my parent's Saturday. We were going to bring her home today and when I called, she said she wanted to stay at grammy's. Um...okay. Guess I'm having more separation anxiety than she is. hahaha

I'm still here been lurking more lately.
We're planing a trip to Florida in February to see sil and her family who moved this summer.
I've been making new friends though my mood groups for me and my boys. Lucas has a new best buddies which is so cute! Nathan my 4 year old is in upk so we drop him off at 9-11:45 daily so Lucas and I have been taking advantage of that and enjoying shopping just us

I just switched all of Lucas's clothes to 3t I xsnt believe my baby in 3t already

he's been trying to go on the potty more latley which is great he's no where near ready to be trained but at least he's not against trying now

::Waving:: I'm around occasionally. We're super busy right now with toddler gym, music classes, library story times, and occasional art classes when we have free time. Pretty much every morning we're off doing something.

We're looking into preschools for the fall. Stressing over whether to send her to one that seems a better fit for her right now, but then she might have to changes schools if we get UPK when she's 4 (it's a lottery in our district because there isn't enough funding), or we could put her in our second choice that offers UPK so she could stay in the same school for both years (but if we don't get one of the UPK slots, I'll be mad that we didn't just put her in the school we like better). It's only 2 mornings a week but I feel like I'm getting ready to send her off to college! LOL

I'm finally trying to focus more on myself now -- getting out with friends, getting healthier, etc. Thankfully, DH is on board with me having more "me" time since I've barely had any since DD was born.

We also sat down and really detailed all of our financial and other goals (home improvement, etc) for the next few years and mapped them out with a timeline, which makes me feel less stressed now that we at least have a plan for all of the things on our to-do list.

Hi!

Also back a bit more than before. DD is crazy, though I must admit this weekend was a bit better. She is def entering the three stage and I'm way more than ready for it to be over!!!

After much debate, our house was up for sale for a lil bit but it didn't sell or have ANY offers so screw that people can kiss it, lol, now we are renovating as we don't have room for a second kid without it. I love our location but just grew tired of the old house and issues, but now that we've decided to stay i can honestly say i'm wicked happy about it.

Here is the view from our front yard (sunrise style)

So, other than renovations getting started soon, not too much other stuff going on just hoping DD's craziness continues to be on the down swing as she really is a cute, funny toddler, just not when she's yelling at me. lol

Hi!!
Now that there is this app, I will probably check in some more here. I go on the Preemie board a few times a week, so will probably do the same here.
Adalyn is doing great. She will be turning 3 in a few weeks. She is recently potty trained and DH and I are super excited about it!!! She has also started gymnastics at school, and will start dance this Thursday. She still has a speech delay and will continue to receive services through the county school district when she ages out of EI, but she is improving every week. Here is a pic of Adalyn from when DH visited during her gymnastics class

I am still here!

DS is in preschool three mornings a week now, we have music class one morning, and try to make it to story time the other morning. So like some others, our mornings are pretty full. Afternoons definitely drag on, though. He is getting a little better at entertaining himself, but still wants a playmate most of the time and since he is currently an only child, I win.

I am 37 weeks pregnant, so DD should be here any time now. I am definitely ready. This pregnancy has seemed soooo much longer than with DS.

I'm still here, just much more busy now that #2 has arrived. I was actually laid off from my job while I was on maternity leave so I am now a SAHM for awhile. I'm looking, but not too hard and plan to go back to work in the summer. I would be sending DS to daycare this week, at 6 weeks old if not for this, so I'm feeling blessed! I've been trying to keep DD busy since she is used to being in daycare and very active. I took her to open gym last weekend and she loved it, so we are enrolling her in gymnastics starting in February, I'm so excited. It was too cute watching her on the balance beam and bars. We are also contemplating finishing the renovations on our house and getting it on the market this spring or summer. We just bought it last year but now as a family of four, we feel like we need something bigger. I miss chatting with you ladies and am going to try to log on more often

bellelamb · January 2015

Hi DrRx! I think about you guys often so glad you stopped back

I've mostly moved over there. Just popping back in.

It's nice to see so many updates! We don't have much planned for the next year. We talk about moving again but I'm due with DD2 in May (yay for May babies) so we're staying put for now.

We did some big traveling over the holidays and don't have any more trips planned until July.

topaz7777 · January 2015

I'm still here. I just lurk a little. I spend most of my time on the April 15 board, though most of my board has left. I'm sure I'll be more active after baby comes. For now, DD has been pretty easy to handle.
