"Mom? Can I help you tidy the house? Because I know you have a lot of things to do and not enough time to get them all done."
OMG. Do you guys remember how I used to be on here all the time bitching about how 3 was the worst age ever and 3-year-olds are assholes and someone please come take my threenager away from me?
WELL 4 IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE. I LOVE 4. NEVER GET OLDER THAN 4, DD1.
You are giving me hope that there is a light at the end of the 3yo tunnel! DD is 2 weeks away from 3 and driving me insane!
yes! Have hope! Three does end, and four has been so much better. It is like night and day.
Sadly I have a little over a year to enjoy it before I have a three year old again.
This baby still doesn't have a name if it's a girl.
Tonight, H suggested Norma. He thinks Charlotte or Caroline are old lady names. But, hey, how about Norma? If that doesn't say "Hey, I'm 60!" I don't know what does.
I much prefer Nora if he wants a similar sound! I love Charlotte and Caroline.
I still can't decide on a name, so H has chosen Jack. I am normally such a control freak, but I just don't want to decide. I am curious to see if I change my mind when we see him.
We got a glider for baby #2 because we never had one for #1 because our house was too small. I am thinking about moving it into our room until the baby comes so I can sit in it and read at night.

Before DD was born I would often go into her room and just sit in the glider. Sometimes I would read and other times I would just sit and daydream/ think of her. So I say go for it. Do what makes you happy!

I love those girls names! I'm a bit sad Nora is such a popular name since it's my grandmothers name and we have wanted to use it for a long time. Caroline is my SILs name so we won't use it.

Are you looking for old lady name suggestions sjh722? I have a whole unused list if you want them!
krystee, H ended up naming both of our boys. He decided what he wanted early on and I went along with it. I adore their names now, no regrets!
We booked our daycare tonight! My FIL watches the babies now at our house and said he'd watch them the first year. He didn't give a for sure end date but they turn 1 in October so Nov 2 they'll start. It's literally a block from our house and I know girls that take their kids there. I really liked it but it'll be a huge change having the expense!
We're home. The attending said they see 10 kids a day who get false readings from pedis and get sent there. She said if his pulsox was really 85 he would be blue.
So that was fun.
DS2's didn't dip below 95. It really was the retracting keeping us there. We're going to talk preventative steroids tomorrow at his appointment. Hopefully you guys get some answers. I have to wake him every four hours for treatment tonight
P weighed in at 8 lb 11 oz today. He's within normal weight gain limits but still sooo small. He's almost 2 months old and swimming in 0-3 clothes still!
I am still worried about possible reflux though. It seems like all the other babies in the BF group just have skyrocketed in weight gain at some point except him.
I had preemies but DD was 8.15 at her 4 month appt. The Dr isn't worried since she is gaining on a steady curve. They get only BM and she eats plenty. He might just be tiny!
krystee, he likes Nora too. My name is Sarah and I don't like that it has the same -ah ending as my own name + how it sounds with our last name. (I suppose I was also traumatized by the year my roommate's name was also Sarah, and our floor with like 40 girls had 4 other Sarahs, 3 Karas, and a Tara. I spent the whole year turning around for not my name. Haha.)
Brie, I will take any and all suggestions at this point, LOL.

Marjorie! I love this name, but DH wasn't on board. Now with DD's name being similar-ish, it's out for good for future kids. Someone needs to bring it back.

That's my late grandmother's name and would likely be the MN if we ever have a girl!
HA pajama success! I thank and blame chickens987 for all of this. I sent DH to Costco at lunch for pajamas for us and leonard131. He had to fight off some crazy lady buying 30 pairs just to get ours.
I got to go to the gym today and am now baking my yearly St. Patrick's Day boozy cupcakes. About this time, I remember why I do this once a year and only once a year.

Bummer for you, but good for your niece! I think the name is so beautiful.

Random episodes of "Love it or List it" keep showing up on our DVR. We both hate the show. I checked to see if it randomly got set to record the series, nope. So weird.

You should name her Eleanor Jeanette. All the cool kids are doing it.
Bummer for you, but good for your niece! I think the name is so beautiful.
Do you watch GoT? That's all I can think of when I hear that name.
Of course I do. I read the books too. It brought it back on the radar for me, but I really prefer the Marjorie spelling. It really reminds me of an old musical movie I watched several times growing up with Doris Day. - By the Light of the Silvery Moon
