My kid crawled yesterday! It was like 2 feet and it took every ounce of his skinnyboy strength, but he made forward motion for sure! It's aaaallll over now.
Also, I'm apparently now an Elder. I thought there'd be cookies.
I was so excited to take a long walk with my 2 yo this morning, but halfway through he was DONE with the stroller. I had to cut the walk short and sing "Old McDonald Had a Farm" to keep him happy. I'm never going to lose weight if he keeps doing that!

You know how people ask "what age is the worst" and so far I've said "Oh, I love them all! It's hard but fun!"
Fuck that. Three is horrible. We're dying over here. The house is fucking sty because I can't do anything w/o a kid up my butt or actual punching each other (they're 3, when did they learn to punch?!). And they're so needy that by the time they're in bed (and maybe asleep, that's another issue), Jake and I are sitting on the couch like
Yesterday I had my last day of clinicals, my daughter's birthday party went really well, and my anti-anxiety meds are kicking in. For the first time in about five months I feel content and functional again
B woke up screaming and inconsolable at 4 am because he couldn't find his binky. My poor FIL is in the room next to his. My H and B are both fast asleep, but I'm still wide awake. THE BINKY HAS TO GO.
I made a similar post yesterday. Theo will be 2 on Saturday and he still wakes up crying for the damn thing. I can't take it anymore! It's gotta go, but I'm not looking forward to the crying that goes along with that.
12 days and then I'm done with med school FOREVER!
Then it'll be a whirlwind of Japan, graduation, moving to Brooklyn, orientation, Puerto Rico & starting residency....all within a 5 week span. Its bitter sweet to be moving from Philly, but I'm looking forward to the next step.
I adore three, the kids are hilarious, however, they seriously push the boundaries at three. DS is going to be a nightmare.
The fun is really fun. They are SNARKY kids lol. ETA but it's fewer and farther between thank before!
Me: Your dad liiiikkkeeesss me. Marc: He like me MO!
All 4 of us are cuddling in bed. Gabe starts making funny heavy breathing noises. Marc: Gabe, you sleep like Daddya? Gabe: Uh-huh, Daddya sleep like dis. *heavy heavy breathing*
Jake is playing a game where the boys pretend to be phones and he pushes their buttons/tickles them. Suddenly Marc starts wiggling and saying "zzzz zzzzz." Me: Marc, are you vibrating?? Marc: Yeah, I a phone, I wing, answer Daddya!
I haven't slept since 4am. The baby is struggling to poop. I am so tired. So very tired.
I asked MIL to come over this morning to watch the baby so I could go run errands. I'm now trying to decide if that time would be more wisely spent napping.
I have a friend coming over this afternoon to walk with the babies and friends coming over for dinner tonight. I'm a little nervous about dinner because that's about the time he's fussiest. I hope he decides to sleep so I can enjoy some wine and adult conversation.
Oooooooh, ninjabridemom - three-year old twins are a special sort of hell. You have my sympathies.
My H has been out of town for a work conference since Saturday, and doesn't come home until late Wednesday. It is hard with just me and the kids, but it is GLORIOUS sleeping in our bed by myself. He snores quite frequently, and I haven't had to wear ear plugs since he has been gone. I also haven't had to punch anybody several times throughout the night bc they are snoring and won't sleep on their side.
I put a bunch of stuff up on Poshmark and really hope it sells. I am trying this app instead of eBay, so we shall see how it goes.

My H was supposed to have his cochlear ear implant on Friday and we have been psyching ourselves and preparing J for it for the last month or so. He had some out of town family come in to see him this weekend. He was prepared and planned his life accordingly and so did I in anticipation of him having 0% hearing for 30 days.
The Dr. office called this morning and said he had a death in the family and they have to put of off another 20 days. My H is so down about this. He has been waiting since November. I feel so sad for him.
Also, in addition to letting "my" assistant go last week, we lost the position completely so we will not be replacing her. So now I have to make my supervisor talk to my co-worker to let her know that we have to share "her" assistant. I've taken over a lot of my co-worker's projects because she can't get them done and what little she is still in charge of, she is having the assistant do. I can't figure out for the life of me what this particular co-worker does all day when she is actually in the office.
