How old is your other kid(s)? Newly minted 3yo
How are you feeling? Mostly just tired. Kiddo has not been sleeping well.
Rant/Rave/Questions: we've done a ton of reorganizing of our second floor and my office space is looking so much better. But also vacation is coming to an end too fast
How did your kid(s) enjoy the holiday season? Did any of them stay up past midnight last night? I think so. This is the first time she really got into opening presents and understanding Christmas/her birthday which was fun! And hell no. I was the only one who made it past midnight only because of insomnia and some asshole in our neighborhood setting off fireworks.

How are you feeling? Super tired mostly
Rant/Rave/Questions: we’re back to school on Tuesday this week and is going to be a busy month prepping for musical rehearsals and choosing new songs for my choruses and getting ready to host an All County festival. Hopefully it’ll make this month fly by.
How did your kid(s) enjoy the holiday season? Did any of them stay up past midnight last night? DD seemed to enjoy this winter break and she absolutely loved Christmas. We didn’t make a big deal out of NYE so she didn’t stay up late.
im glad your daughter enjoyed her winter break! And the musicals and chorus sounds like fun!!

How are you feeling? Not great. I’ve had some abdominal and low back cramping on my right side. And absolutely shattered with exhaustion.
Rant/Rave/Questions: NATM
How did your kid(s) enjoy the holiday season? Did any of them stay up past midnight last night? The two oldest were super into Christmas (read: Santa, presents, stockings, etc.) this year. No one in our house stayed up to midnight 😂 Someone in our neighbourhood set off fireworks around 7:30 and they scared the sh*t out of our oldest. He was in tears, terrified of the sound. Poor kiddo.

Winter break ending 😢- I return to work for inservice tomorrow and children return on Tuesday. I work in an infant classroom at a preschool. I’m so ready to send my son back to school (my workplace), but not ready for myself to return. I’ve been exhausted every night of break and I’ve hardly been doing anything. I don’t know how I’ll function back at work aside from increasing caffeine…

How old is your other kid(s)? Basically 4, his bday is later this week.
How are you feeling? Besides exhausted, really moody too. I was super emotional yesterday about break ending and the upcoming lack of free time.
Rant/Rave/Questions:
How did your kid(s) enjoy the holiday season? Did any of them stay up past midnight last night? Up until this year, my son has never even tore wrapping paper off a present. This was the first holiday he has opened any gift wrap, and he opened most of his presents! And we got through almost everything before he started to lose interest. He was mostly interested in Santa investigation. He remembered exactly how many cookies we had out and as soon as he woke up he went to check the plate. My NYE plans is to go as many years as I can before he knows that staying up until midnight is a thing.

We were snowed in for Christmas so we are finishing off family Christmas today at my parents house. Last night my oldest had a sleepover at our house and we had an adult game night. She said she was up until 4am 🤦🏻♀️ I went to sleep about 2am.
Size of baby: very small 😆
How old is your other kid(s)? 20, 8, 7, 5, 3, 15 months
How are you feeling? Mostly just anxious. No real nausea yet.
Rant/Rave/Questions: my 15 month old vomited all over me and the bed last night. Yay for a stomach bug! It’s a great way to ring in the new year. I’m suppose to have an ultrasound this Tuesday and if all the other kids start getting sick we won’t be fit to go anywhere for at least 1.5 weeks. I guess that’s a big family problem. It takes awhile for any virus to run through a family. I’m hoping I don’t get it. I usually take Zofran for any type of stomach bugs we get because I can’t take care of the kids when DH is working when I’m hugging a toilet every time I move my body. I can’t take Zofran while pregnant due to it increasing heart defects and cleft pallet. Both of which run in our family. So I’ll have to suffer. The worst part is that DH is going out of town for a week tomorrow so I’ll be solo parenting. I will have to ask my 8 year old to step up and help me take care of the other kids. Which I don’t like doing. I don’t want any of my kids feeling like they have to take on adult responsibilities due to the size of our family.
How did your kid(s) enjoy the holiday season? Did any of them stay up past midnight last night? My kids really enjoyed Christmas and new years. We went to our neighborhood festivities last night. It was 15 degrees and they ran around playing on snow berms the whole time. It was only a 2 hour event and we made it to the end to watch fireworks. Last year we had to leave early because it was -15 F. I bought heavier gear this year so we can tolerate subzero temps but I’m glad it wasn’t that cold this year. They didn’t stay up because they were so worn out from climbing the snow for 2 hours. They were begging for bed when we got home.
@stashattack I really need to purge and organize my house. It just seems like an impossible job right now. Our current focus is getting the kid’s rooms painted and decorated. We really need to get the baby out of our room. He has regressed from eating solids to almost EBF the last few months because he takes in most of his calories at night. I have always moved my babies out by 9 months so this is new territory for me. I also need my space back.

How are you feeling? Pretty terrible most of the time. If I can lay down then I’m not as nauseous but being up and doing things makes me feel awful. Having a hard time eating much and also having a hard time getting prenatals down. Been reduced to at the very least drinking a body armor every day to get my folate in.
Rant/Rave/Questions: SO has been pretty great and helpful, more so after the first time he heard me throw up. It’s pretty violent and I think he feels bad that I feel bad. I stay home and he works 2 jobs so our usual agreement is that he doesn’t have to help with household stuff but he’s been picking up my slack and I’m very thankful!
How did your kid(s) enjoy the holiday season? Did any of them stay up past midnight last night? DS loves Christmas so he had a great time! We’ve never been big NYE people so he got sent to bed on time and we didn’t do anything special. For us we were in bed by 10:30.
@emeraldcity603 ugh that's rough! I'm sorry.
@justyouraveragemama awww I'm glad he picking up the slack. DH is also helping pick up my slack. Dishes are the bane of my existence and it's just gotten worse. And we need to fix our stupid dishwasher too, so I've been handwashing everything. So it's been a pain to do dishes.
