@ week of 10/29

Although it's actually 10/31 now. Happy Halloween! How are the mamas and kids doing?

Anatomy scan and fetal echo was this morning, so yay! According to the doc, baby looks "gorgeous" and he's measuring right on track. We got some great pics 9f profile, feet, him grabbing his foot, and some 3d pics.

E is excited about wearing his costume tonight. I'm so glad we're invited to a party because it is cold (high is like 48) and rainy so ToT will suck balls.

According to my weather app it'll be like 43 when we go ToTing but at least it's not raining here! *insert obligatory anecdote about 1991 Halloween blizzard* lol. My friend's H keeps posting about how people from MN talk about that all the time (he's from WI) but he's the only one I've seen posting about it so... *shrug*

I can't believe tomorrow A will be a month from turning 1. Where the hell has the last year gone?!

pooh8402, that's awesome that the anatomy scan went well! estrellita, sorry the weather won't be great tonight for you and pooh. We are actually supposed to have a surprisingly nice day today here on the East Coast, but I definitely remember shivering in my costume plenty of times. It takes a lot of the fun out of it for me at least because I hate being cold.

I had to leave for work just as the kids were getting up today. The bonus of H's new job is that the kids can wake on their own now, but it often means I don't get to see them at all in the morning. I laid out all the pieces of their Halloween costumes and am anxiously awaiting a picture from somebody (daycare or H!) I will have to come back and AW later if we get a good one. We're TOTing around our neighborhood tonight with my nephews- love having family close by for times like this! They can come for an hour and then everyone is home for their own bedtimes.

Blue Moon Meh, 43 is decent weather for us this time of year. Lol. Would be nice if it were warmer but we just make sure we wear warm stuff under the costumes and we're good

pooh8402- glad it went well this morning!!

estrellita- brr! I just looked and it’s supposed to be 67-70 degrees when we go ToTing tonight LOL

No costumes til ToTing. C will be Lightning McQueen and L will be Nemo! C has preschool and they have a party but no costumes allowed, which is good because his is bulky.

DH made it home from Vegas last night. We are all tired but excited for today and tomorrow. He disappointed me though by bringing back his friends stash of marijuana (friend couldn’t take it on the plane and DH didn’t want to just throw it away). He knows how I feel about this (and maybe I am irrational since it’s legal now???) so I am surprised he thought it was ok to bring home. I hope he gives it away or throws it away soon...

Why is E ALWAYS hungry? All day today he has been whining about being hungry no matter what I feed him. He's been a bottomless whiny pit for weeks now. This is how it starts, isn't it.. boys eating everything in sight? Lol

C has been the same way recently. Possible growth spurt?

Speaking of C...he’s sick again 🙁. His cough sounds horrible tonight, progressively getting worse. It started last night with sneezing and now a full blown cold. I don’t think he fully got over the last one and this seems to be the same.

I really hope it’s short lived. These next couple months are crazy busy...my parents leave tomorrow for vacation and I have to help with their dog and my grandma (who is dog/house sitting) 4 days over the next 1.5 weeks on top of preschool, watching our friends boys, last soccer game/end of season party etc. They come back and then we are supposed to go OOT to the ILs for Thanksgiving.

luv2rn4fun I don't know, he's been like this for at least a month. I need to get some healthier snacks because I never know what to give him. It's usually fruit snacks, goldfish or a cereal bar or something. I really need to get more fruits and veggies he'd eat as a snack!

Also, hope C feels better soon! Your poor kids need to catch a break with the sickness!

C has been like this for at least a month as well, maybe even 2 months (and I do feel like he has grown a little). He gets a lot of the same snacks you mentioned as well in addition to fruit.

Thank you! I am so over them being sick. Seems like we go through phases where everyone is sick for a couple months with a week or so break in between. He was up coughing a lot last night 🙁

luv2rn4fun right there with you. I don't think we have been completely healthy for weeks. DS was coughing like crazy this morning so I ended up getting him up early for the day to do a saline nebulizer.

((Hugs)). I hope your DS and rest of your family are all healthy soon. I tried the saline on C last night before bed and ended up getting him up to do albuterol. The albuterol seemed to help a little. I really think he has asthma too, just not as bad as L. I need to talk to their pediatrician about this.
