The little one has one of those slides for 2-year-olds, absolutely loves it (she's 14 months) so we put her up, hold her hands and she slides down. A slide is also a great place to learn mountain climbing if you're 14 months old. We had to put it up because every time we turned around she'd start trying to climb to the top (was actually getting pretty good at it- and never uses the stairs), it was only a matter of time until we had an ER visit.
Daughter went home today. :(((((((( Parents are gunna try to bring her back sometime around Xmas tho. We're planning on saying Santa agreed to come twice so she can do Xmas with mommy and daddy. It was an awesome visit. Lots of castles, lots of playgrounds. Hopefully some Core Memories in there.
My little girl said her first word, "da-da", last week and today just got our first full unassisted crawl across the floor. She will be 8 months old on the 6th.
I'm on my first real trip away my daughter for work. She'll be 2 next month and this really sucks. I don't know how guys that travel alot for work or military guys do it. I can hardly take it and I'm just going to be gone 4 days.
Found out a couple weeks ago were pregnant again. Lost the first baby at 8 1/2 weeks. Just did the first US and all looks good so far. Gonna be a rough until we get past the next US in 2 weeks
We are kind of in the same boat. Wife was diagnosed with a soon to be miscarriage but it never happened. Went back and saw a different doctor and they told us we weren't nearly as far a long as we thought and things are now normal. What a roller coaster of emotions to find out you're expecting, to having it taken away, and now 'ah y'all might be alright.' We go to find a heart beat Wednesday so I guess after that we will be able to know if we can be excited again. I know the waiting sucks, just try and keep busy. It's what we've been doing. Hang in there man
I know those feels. At about 8 weeks my wife had bleeding/discharge while traveling for work. She went to her OB/GYN the next day for an US and then they sent her to another clinic that could give a more thorough look. The second place had a nurse call and schedule a half hour call with my wife at 10pm that night (a Thursday). She wanted to tell her what was in the report that my wife was going to have access to before my wife read it and started doing internet research. The gist is that they thought it was a molar pregnancy and not only was the fetus not viable but it was most likely cancerous and the cancer spread to my wife. The doctor was out of town until Monday but he would call us back after he looked at the ultrasound and give us more details. That was the longest weekend of my life. The doctor called back on Monday. It was just a very large fibroid. They were going to pass us on to the high risk pregnancy doctors to monitor the fibroid more closely and make sure it wasn't stealing nutrients from the fetus. Between that early scare and one of my groom's men losing their child at 18 weeks of pregnancy, overlapping with our pregnancy, due to chromosomal abnormalities we were scared the rest of the pregnancy. It all worked out though. We have a super happy and healthy boy that just turned 9 months today. The worrying didn't end with a healthy birth either. I have been irrationally scared of SIDS since he was born.
Guess I can post here now too. Wife had our first kid about a week and a half ago. Was a relief to finally get her out, since the doctors kept spooking my wife out. Daughter was just a big girl (9 pounds 4 ounces at 39 weeks) and they trying to tell her that either her umbilical cord was off in pressure or she had gestational diabetes. Wife did really well considering they surprise decided to do a C-section on her and of course we ended up just having a really healthy baby girl. Lack of sleeps sucks but wouldn't trade it for anything.
Having a conversation with my 4 year old tonight when she said, "My friend camed..." And I corrected her by saying, "No, your friend came." Then it devolved into a discussion about came, come, coming and I got real uncomfortable real fast.
Spending the next two weeks at the shore home, spent the am digging and building. Pics later. Building memories
My son was in the 100th percentile for height at his 2 month checkup. My first thought at hearing that was the "my son is going to be a mother fucking all-star!" meme. But really, he will be.
7 weeks until the due date. Wife is getting increasingly tired (and a tad irritable I might add). Also, our in home day care that we had set up with is now moving away so there was a meltdown this weekend concerning that. We have until January (basically) to find someone to watch baby Kelso, I think we will be alright, but she is freakin the fuck out
NSIAP- Why in the hell does Chris from Sesame Street always wear a polo with a long sleeve shirt underneath??? My first guess was tattoos but he pushes his sleeves up all the time.
Guys, I have news. After a year of trying for baby #2, I'm happy to report that my dick isn't completely useless! I'm posting live from my wife's lady doctor's office where we just heard and saw Baby Boom for the first time at 9 weeks. Baby is measuring perfectly and all looks good.
From the Linkletter files: Wife and Little Odin (almost 4) were at Party City to get stuff for the youngest's first birthday party. The clerk helping them was, as my wife described him "really femmy and probably g-a-y" :gays: While they were checking out, Little Odin turns to wife and says, "Mommy, why does that boy talk like a girl?" It's a good thing I wasn't there, because I wouldn't have been able to contain myself.
Our 2nd started day care on Monday. Currently broke as fuck and will remain so for the foreseeable future.
Should have taken them to Mini Boom's place. Edit: Nevermind. I think it's more expensive than yours.
Have been reading the thread for the last few months. Expecting our first, a girl, on Halloween. So excited.
Got a ball pit for the little one (baby pool full of balls) - she thinks it is the greatest thing ever
Step daughter is going into 7th grade & just got bumped up to all advanced classes. We were hesitant to have her go into Adv. Math, for fear of it being too much for her to handle combined with all the additional work she'd be getting... We spoke to her teacher last year & she expressed similar concerns. Said teacher had a discussion with her & step daughter insisted that she wanted to be in advanced & was willing to do the work to get caught up / keep up. Fast forward to the 1st day of school... Daughter comes home & says, "You need to get me out of Adv. Math, it's too much work" It's gonna be a L O N G year
We got sent home Friday night, but went back on Sunday night. She was delivered Monday around noon. We made it home a couple of hours ago. Beautiful day here in middle TN. So I have baby napping in my arms on the front porch swing while her mother sleeps inside.
I just got a text from my wife this morning informing me that our daycare costs will drop from $342/week to $332/week. I think it's because they moved up from the 1yr old class to the 2yr old class. So I got that going for me :/
The little one has been bit 5 times since moving up to the 1 year old class 2 months ago. Thankfully she's never been the biter, but damn that seems like a lot, no?
Half Knight starts 3rd grade tomorrow. Feeling very reflective tonight. Where the fuck does the time go. On a different note, shot off our first model rocket this weekend, was awesome. wind kicked up right as we sent it up, and I used a big-ass engine, so the rocket is probably hanging from a tree somewhere right now, but it was totally worth it.
my family is about to go through this.. i understand and feel your pain. 2 kids in daycare is not fun.. shit having 1 isnt lol
All you with little ones, just wait till they get older. So much fun. Going into 2nd week at the shore home, lots of sand castles, fishing, boardwalk etc.... pictures later
t-minus 6 weeks until baby K gets here. Still no name, and now no infant care as of Saturday. Bitch is moving....
