oh man, I have that car seat and thought the same thing! I will have to go get a convertible seat this weekend. Son of a...thank you for telling me!

Apparently the 30 is for both 30 lbs and 30" whatever you hit first. They came out with a new Chicco Fit2 that lasts until 35" and I totally was going to buy it but the fit is terrible in the headroom (I brought S to BBB to try it our and she had no headroom). 

ah! that is the one I WANTED but I got the 30. Son of a gun.

FUCK, all the flights out today are full and H can't get on them and WHY DID I LET HIM FLY STANDBY WHEN I FUCKING HATE THIS?

Either we lose a day of only having him here for 9 days, or we spend an extra $500 for him to get in tonight. And this all could have been avoided if he'd just bought a fucking ticket in the fucking first place, but NO. I am married to El Cheapo. At least if I murder him I won't have to spend the $1200 on his residency fees, right?

A is going to be really sad.

Ugh, what a mess. Flight issues are the worst! And knowing that you could have had more control over it must make it extra frustrating.

Yeah, for some reason he talked me into the standby thing, but then I forgot that's what he was doing and thought he had a regular ticket. THEN went and bought a ticket for tomorrow morning's flight without talking to me. If he'd waited to talk to me, he would have discovered that there was a flight out today on a different airline for a bit more money, but he could get in tonight. Which obviously now I'm loath to buy because I have no idea if he can get a refund on the other one. My one consolation is that he'd have to sleep in the Dallas airport (where he is currently stuck) and serves him right! I hope it's extremely uncomfortable.

loira, has you H gotten home yet?

How did the time change go for everyone? I got E up at 7:45, we usually are up between 7 and 7:15. I don't think it's going to change our schedule at all, not like in the fall, thankfully. Going to be weird putting her to bed when it's still light out though.

[loira]

thoseareradishes, yes, he arrived yesterday! I wish he could stay longer, but we'll have tons of fun with him this week and then it won't be too much longer until he's here permanently.

I put A to bed a half hour early last night in anticipation of the time change. My usual MO is to treat it like jet lag and get her on the right schedule immediately. She might not nap today because it'll be earlier than usual, but this will probably help with the earlier bedtime. I'm not too worried about it. It's never been a problem for us.

[cactuscookie]

We've never had an issue with the time change either. (Knock on wood.)

The weather is crappy here, so DH had the brilliant idea to go to Chuck E. Cheese this morning, and take my three nephews while their parents went shopping. He thought he'd be able to handle them all so I could go to Target, but it turns out both the 2-year-old and the 4-year-old needed an adult, so I had to stay. I would have much, much rather been shopping by myself.

[grover]

I think the time change went okay? I mean, we'll see how tonight goes. But she was up at 5:30 (new time) which is the time she gets up during the work week, and is on her second nap. Naps were a little later than usual, but just as long as usual.

I am counting down the days to our RE consult, and hoping they have a cancellation on one of the two Fridays I'm off this month so I can get in sooner. I'm ready to jump right into another IUI since we've been trying unsuccessfully since last May when my cycle returned at 2 months pp.

[loira]

cactuscookie, oh man that sucks. Chuck E Cheese plus having to look after other people's kids when I thought I would be shopping by myself would not make me happy. You deserve an enormous glass of wine, my friend!

I find it sad that A doesn't have a clue who her other grandparents are. We only talk to them when H is here. I've told them multiple times that I'm happy to arrange skype calls with them but since their schedules are less flexible than mine they should let me know when they're available. They never do. H makes the effort when he's around, but I just don't have the energy while solo parenting to organise everything. And I know they love A, and I generally have a good relationship with them, so I'm not sure why they flake out on this. Oh well, I guess that will change when H is here permanently.

The time change can suck it. I thought it would be no big deal but today J had the following naps: 7 minutes, 20 minutes, 36 minutes, and 8 minutes. It sucks because he was such a good sleeper last night. I can only hope he sleeps well tonight.
