Canadian Moms & Moms to be!

[Vickie]

we used the Crayola stuff with Hannah's salt dough ornaments, it stayed on okay-ish.

I hope it doesn't rain Halloween! Right now they are saying 30% chance here

well done Alora!

 

[Melissa_M]

I'm hoping it stays dry for Halloween too, although we're not doing the old fashioned kind of trick-or-treating, we're just taking Alia around to some relative's places...but still it would nice to not have to worry about rain.

Kate you just posted #70,000!!!

 

[ryder]

I hope it warms up for Halloween!

 

[readynwilling]

oh yes i meant to say YAY for Alora! i hope it warms up for halloween too - but just cause i hate the cold

I have no idea what the Occupational Therapist is either Kate, other than she helps diagnose developmental issues.

I think? I'll let you know on Nov 8th

I just use regular old acrylic paint with H. As long as I am sitting there with her, I let her use it. What am I saying? I just let her use it all the time now, as long as the table is majorly newspapered. Helena never eats random things and cries if anything gets on her hands though. Michaels has a whole line of really cheap acrylic paint now, like cheaper than dollarama.

 

[Vickie]

Can I just say that listening to the constant rain when you always have to pee sucks

 

[readynwilling]

LOL Vickie. TMI but i am actually finding i have bladder leakage when i run... another body part J ruined

 

[Vickie]

I can't tell you how many times I have almost peed from sneezing with this pregnancy

 

[impatient1]

Way to go Alora!

It’s supposed to rain here in Halloween as well unfortunately.
It’s also supposed to snow here on Friday.

I never peed myself until after I had B and then I peed myself when I sneezed a couple of times. Now out of fear I still cross my legs when I sneeze lol.

I feel your pain, Sara. Some moves in Dance Central send me literally running for the bathroom.

Kegal exercises are supposed to help with that, I'm just horrible with actually doing them.

 

[Vickie]

Yeah I'm awful at remembering the kegels

not much going on here today. I asked Stan to bring Hannah's slide up so she can hopefully tire herself out good

 

[readynwilling]

Sleep is for the weak right?? this kid was up all night... rolling around, kicking, whining... GAHHHH im gonna need a latte today.

she's chilin' on the couch now, beside me.... when she passes out im grabbing a shower, and when she wakes up were going to starbucks LOL

its yucky and crappy here again today BOOOOOOO

 

[Tiff]

Yucky and crappy here too.

 

[impatient1]

Not so bad here today although it is quite chilly but I guess I should probably get used to it soon before it gets even colder.

I think all of us with sleepless children should share a house for a bit and allow the children to tire each other out while we take turns sleeping for 3 to 4 hour intervals. What I wouldn't do for 3 to 4 hour intervals of sleep.

Zoe sees an OT. They cannot diagnose developmental issues; only a doctor can do that, but they can assess and recommend. They also work with sensory and motor issues, although, more often, they work with fine motor, but PT's work with gross motor.

Zoe sees for sensory, fine motor, and attention/development issues (like expressing frustration in ways that will not harm her, or learning to control the urge to run into the road)

I got my slippers in the mail today. OMG!!! They are adorable! The kids absolutely love them, and Isaiah is obsessing over the dinosaurs on his. I just HAD to place another order, lol. This stuff is so cute that it's not good for my splurging urge.

 

[Melissa_M]

I'm going to be part of the sleep-deprived club soon enough!!!
It seems like so long ago that I was getting up in the night with Alia, but I'm sure it will all come rushing back to me in a couple of months

 

[Vickie]

Me too Melissa and I'm not looking forward to it

It's gross and yucky here as well I don't feel great though so am kind of glad for a day inside. Hannah is LOVING having her slide upstairs *fingers crossed* it tired her out We also did some arts and crafts and I talked to my mom for a bit. now it's tv time for the kiddo and soon nap!

Sara and Lisa, I wish I lived closer I'd come over and let you get some sleep while Hannah tired your kids out

 

[Tiff]

I know, eh Vickie? I wish I was closer too, I'd seriously help with all the tired mamas around here.

I hope the slide tires H out Vickie, how did the craft turn out?

 

[Vickie]

well the spaghetti is still wet so no idea if it's actually going to hold shape

We did a pumpkin mask too (out of a paper plate) that she really likes though

and so far the slide trick seems to have worked
