My goal is to wake this board soon. I've been pretty slammed since they threw me into a project here, but I should be free of that on Friday.
Kids are doing well. Bjl can put together 8 piece puzzles, and she has conversations with you (about who knows what). I love her so much it's ridic. She misses me so much when I'm at work, it's heartbreaking talking to her during the day. I got out of bed over the weekend and let her keep sleeping (whereas on mat leave I stayed in bed with her), and when she woke up, her cries for me are like the end of the world. Mil happened to be there and she said she does that everyday.
Boy is the same. No changes regarding bottles/sleeping (not good), but he is trying really hard to crawl. He does lots of forward diving face plants, and gets to push up position.

M is doing great - but she's in a phase where she cries at the drop of a hat and it's just SO SAD. She has these big, fat crocodile tears, and you'd think we are doing something awful to her, when in reality we're just saying no to something (like watching Tangled for the second time). Thing is, I think this is a learned thing from when she was staying with M/FIL. She cries, they do what she wants. So... yeah. It's a hard thing to break, for sure. I just keep trying to reason with her and distract her, and that works most of the time. 2 1/2 is hard.
Junior is good (that's what J is calling him for now, haha), but since he's breech (according to the u/s from last week), he keeps trying to stand up in my ute and it's SO not comfortable. But lots of regular thumps and movements, so that's fun. Trying to throw around names, and boys are SO much harder to name than girls!! We have a few that we like, but nothing set in stone yet. We may have to meet him first to really decide. Haha, that'd drive my ILs nuts!! Muahaha.
Checking in late! I'll post a pic tomorrow from my computer
I'm 29 weeks 4 days and feeling really big. Like people look at me with a terrified look in their eyes when I say I have 11 weeks left. Some days I feel like 11 weeks isn't much but mostly 11 weeks feels like an eternity. Where is this baby going to fit in a few more weeks?! Our classes start next week so at least that will keep me busy.
My little guy is crawling and pulling up like crazy, and now babbles mamamama and dadadada but we aren't sure if he knows what he's saying yet. It's still cute either way he is also eating more solids these days, today he tried salmon and loved it!
I'm at my breaking point with people constantly being in our house - between my mom and MIL, who each watch the baby one day a week, the cleaning service, and the constant home improvement projects there is someone here almost every day. It's so bad we are sending B to daycare a few months early to avoid seeing my mom and MIL every week. I'm not looking forward to leaving him at the center, but am so excited to have my house back!
Tomorrow I'll try to add a bump pic too to go along with G in her new sparkly silver pants and sunglasses. She's been crying and kicking and screaming on the floor one minute over practically nothing (being asked to come in from the car, for example) then shortly after crawling into my lap and saying "I love you Mommy" so sweetly that I want to cry. She's started singing her A,B,C's and Twinkle Twinkle, and "counting things" up to nine or ten, though the numbers rarely correspond with the number of things. This week we moved her booster seat from a chair at the end of the table to the bench of our breakfast nook. She loves eating off the table instead of her tray and has been really good lately about being careful so for now she uses a real plate just like us.
As for pregnancy, I'm 22 weeks! Seems to be flying by, at least this part where I feel great. My next appointment in 6 weeks also includes the glucose test.
Better late than never? I finally took bump pics this morning. It's been...a month since I last took them? I didn't take weekly pics last time either, oops.
I have been busy with just everyday stuff. H is having his tonsils and uvula out on Wednesday so lately its been trying to get normally weekly things done as well as stuff that might need to be done in the next week or two since he will be out of commission. The girls are doing well. Trying to debate on if we are going to do preschool for M or not. Our options are fairly limited in our area. She needs to go into something though to start getting more group interaction and having to take instruction from someone else.
J is also thriving. She is much more interested in sitting up than rolling over. I am still working on trying to get her to sleep all night in the pack n play in our room instead of just half the night. She is also becoming a little chunk which I kind of love
I have been majorly MIA lately. So apologies for the late post. Last week we weren't on our first airplane flight with the baby to visit family in the Midwest. Baby did great! But he apparently got hand foot and mouth from daycare before we left so on Friday (a week ago) When we were out of town got feverish and bumps started appearing. Then on Monday I got sick. I thought it was strep but turns out it was hard foot and mouth too. And I also have Thrush apparently. Anyway baby can sit unassisted with no problem. Isn't crawling and has no teeth but we still give him almost anything we are eating. He likes chewing on it but often doesn't swallow.
