I didn't see this threaded started yet.
DS1 has been awake since 5:30 ish! WTH kid?! Apparently, DH went in before he left for work telling him to go back to bed. I heard him at 6:00 and went in. He told me his teeth hurt and asked for medicine (one molar is working in coming in). He's still awake but thankfully quiet in his crib. I don't go wake ups before 7:00 am. We don't rise before 7:00 am and he usually wakes around 7:30 am. He is super cute, when I walked in his room he said hello mommy with a huge smile. And thank goodness we are crib4yfe!!
Blah and I would jump for joy if DS2 woke... I'm super engorged. Happy Wednesday!
At my work, the water is not drinkable, so they have always provided bottled water. They are having a contract dispute with the water vendor, so we have no water at all. There are soda vending machines, but I don't want to drink soda. I can bring my own water bottle, but I drink more than one a day, so that's not a perfect answer either. I'm just annoyed. What kind of employer doesn't provide drinkable water?
E's fever is back to 100. DH is taking her to the doc today. I will take off tomorrow to be home with her.
Now we need to decide if we should still go OOT to my parents. I'm supposed to be scrapbooking all weekend with my mom, which is already paid for. And I would go by myself if E could go to daycare Friday, but that's a big IF. We don't have anyone that could watch her. If her and I went to my parents I'm not sure how her and my dad would do together all day, while my mom and I were gone. Sorry for the rambling.
I'm trying to get up the motivation to wash my hair. I don't think today's going to be the day. I have a massage tonight so I'll definitely wash it tonight anyway.

DS woke up at 6:30 screaming "mom! Covers!" I thought he was up for the day, but he really just needed to be covered. He layed back down and said "night mama! I sleep and play trains later." OMG! Have I mentioned 2.5 is the best age ever?
I'm feeling overwhelmed by life this week. And it's all just random stupid stuff. Setting up and transitioning J to his big bed this weekend, changing out the carseats for the girls, the girl's birthday party planning, a running list in my head of items we need, grocery shopping that didnt get done last weekend. the list goes on blah

I would be super annoyed by this! I guzzle water all day at work.
What do you do when your kid wakes at 430? The last few days DS has woken up then...3 days he went back to sleep with in 5min and today he cried for an hour before DH went to get him up (1hr is our max time we let him CIO before checking on him).
Ugh, DS went through this phase though thankfully it was short lived. We'd either bring him to bed with us or get up for the day. The latter sucked, but he'd be exhausted by 6:30 or so and would take a decent nap in the morning. Hope it doesn't last long for you guys!

That sucks. When I worked for the feds, those of us who wanted to drink the water paid to be in a "water club." :?
I couldn't fall asleep last night and of course I have to be up early to shower and clean the house before DDs sppech therapist gets here. I just want to sleep now.
My usual sitter is on vacation and our backup has a class with her daughter on Wednesday mornings, so I'm not going into the office until 11. It's about -5 so I am more than okay with that!
Home today with DD for HFM. She doesn't have the symptoms I usually hear about here though. We found one blister on her toe and the pedi Monday said she had a few on her throat and she had a low grade fever all day yesterday (right around 100).
DH said she was super pleasant when he was home with her yesterday and they had a great day so I'm hoping for the same!
DS only had a small handful of blisters, no more than a low-grade fever, and was happy as a clam the couple days we had to keep him home. Hoping for the same for you!
DS's fever broke! Hurray! He slept 12 hours STRAIGHT last night, 8:30-8:45. I didn't hear a peep from him. And when he woke up his fever was gone. Thank goodness! He's still got really bloodshot eyes though, the pedi said that was a symptom of the virus. He looks terrible!
Daily sickness report: H is mostly recovered from the stomach bug. C is fine. I somehow lost my voice overnight and have a sore throat. No signs of stomach bug for me yet, and at this point I don't really care because H is functional.
It's January, 25 degrees outside, and I'm wearing flip flops to work because my feet are swollen.
I'm considering renting a Symphony pump when i go back to work. I always got more from it in less time at the hospital. I'm scared my supply will tank when I return to work.
I'm struggling with what the appropriate boundaries are regarding MIL/FIL moving to town. I'm super excited and want to send her all these house listings and set up a meeting with our realtors for when she comes to stay with us in two weeks but I know I need to slow my roll. I suck at being patient.

That's funny. I would pay a reasonable amount to be in the water club, but I'd want a cooler name for it. They t old us to go get big water bottles at the grocery store and pay with the corporate card, which is Amex. The grocery store doesn't take Amex and only has 5 gallon bottles. We are only allowed to have three gallon bottles. I'm going to start a petition to unionize over this
DS slept beautifully last night. I think this growth spurt has ended. He ate at 10:30 and slept until 5:00!!! After he ate again I went back to sleep until 7:00 when DD woke me up saying she wet the bed. She has been potty trained since summer and this is the first time she has ever done this. I don't know why she didn't wake up to use the toilet all of a sudden, but I can't be too frustrated since this is the first time. Also, pee got on her pillow. I put it in the wash, I hope that's good enough to get the pee out!

I nicked DD's finger last night while cutting her nails. I always do it while she is sleeping so that she can't wiggle, but she made a sudden movement and I got her. She woke up so upset and then screamed for like 45 minutes. I felt awful, it was the first time I did that to her.

We never really "set boundaries" when my parents moved here and it is fine. We all naturally have found a rhythm. Probably the only informal rule is don't show up unannounced on either stuff.
Yeah, I mean more the boundaries of planning the move. I'm all excited and want to get the ball rolling and send her links and set up a meeting with a realtor for her. But I know I need to lay back and let them do it on their own schedule.
