MrsMM- Not much longer!!!

Skeet- I hope you get through the colic. My best friend had that with her second and it was rough. She spent a lot of time out with friends and family and the walks and driving.

Im even leaving lo when we have to travel next month instead of taking her.. I cant bear the thought of leaving her but the thought of taking her on a plane and the prep and packing involved just boggles my mind!

Oh please it didn't bother me. I know how busy you are. I have a blog that I can barley keep up with and I just post one monthly update on there! haha!

Nope I go in a couple weeks. I just got in a rolling bag for her car seat and I picked up a backpack to use instead of a diaper bag. I still need to pack and see what I can fit and can't. I'm planning on taking her cloth diapers with me so needing to do a dry run to see what kind of space I am looking at. I am going to try and bring two carry ons and her carseat (staying with family so they are lending me a bunch of things)

army, we took our cloth diapers with us to thanksgiving last year at my parents and I fit all his stuff in a medium-ish soft duffel, an Adidas one that you might use for a gym bag. I decided to try disposables for our most recent weekend away and I regretted it the whole time (leaks, red marks, etc)! Definitely bring your cloths if you can!

Thanks army!! It is rough but I agree spending a lot of time with friends and family helps so much.. Carson and i go out almost every day

That exactly what I have bag wise. I ordered some detergent samples and disposable inserts (spending one night in a hotel not sure if it will have a washer and dryer) and just had those shipped to my parents.

Thanks Jo!!

I am so behind... My phone decided to reset and I lost everything. I forgot my login to bnb and I am just now finding time to sit down and get back on. How is everyone? Congrats Skeet! Carson is adorable! Congrats Rosa! yay for twins. i am a twin. They will have a best friend forever. Mrs mm can't wait for you bundle to arrive.

Everlee will be 9 months on Saturday! I can't believe it. Her Dr. appt is on the 25th. I am anxious to see how much she has grown. She still isn't crawling. She doesn't seem to have much of a desire to. She can roll around everywhere. She is a big talker and loves to smile. She also has 4 teeth. She brings so much joy to my life. I honestly can't wait to give her a baby brother or sister, but I'll have to wait until next winter. Here is a couple of pics.

 

[armywife11]

She is adorable!!

 

[jmandrews]

Hey Jo just checking out the first page and I thought I'd update you on NellandZack: she delivered baby Nora on Feb 1st just thought I'd let you know.

 

[wantanerd]

Hope you ladies are doing better than I am at the moment. I had been planning to drive home which takes 9 hours and stop at the half way point which happens to be where a couple of my aunts lives and a good friend who would be celebrating her son's first birthday. We made the 4 hour drive with no problems. I had been in town for a few hours when the stomach flu hits! I felt like death last night and Doyle was teething. I got a grand total of 45 minutes of sleep last night and my aunt had to leave. So its me in my aunts house, sick and taking care of a very active 10 month old who has only taken two 45 minute naps today. I feel a little better but I hope I can make the 5 hour drive home tomorrow and let grandma take over.
I really hope Doyle sleeps well tonight b/c this momma needs some rest!

 

[likeaustralia]

Oh no, stomach bugs are the worst! I had one when E was around 3/4 months I think. I thought I was going to diiieee. Hope you're feeling better soon wantanerd! Good luck with the drive!

 

[armywife11]

Hope you feel better. I wanted to die when I had a cold and a 3 month old I could not imagine a stomach bug and a 10 month.

 

[Wilsey]

We all got a tummy bug about 2 months ago. It. Was. Awful! So hard watching them throw up, they have no idea what's going on. They recover quickly though...unlike us...

 

[jmandrews]

aw oh no! i hope you feel better soon. Be careful going home. Glad Grandma can take over and let you get some rest.

 

[skeet9924]

Oh no!! I couldn't imagine a tummy bug when trying to take care of a lo.. Hope you feel better!! Safe drive!

 

[rosabelle]

jm andrews! she is adorable!

and thanks, im still not quite sure its sunk in that i will potentially have 3 under 16 months! lol

 

[likeaustralia]

Are you ladies planning a first birthday party for any of your LOs?

I'm starting to plan E's and it will only be for close family, but I'm still kind of going a bit crazy thinking about it all. I've paired it down to a "build-a-library" theme, with mostly "Hungry Caterpillar" food (caterpillar cupcakes, tea sandwiches made of book-related foods, spinach salad for the "green leaves," etc.). I'm really hoping our families will listen to the books request. I'm sure some would consider it tacky, but I made a wish list on Amazon of loads of books, so even family members who don't know much about kids' books can have a look and easily pick something we think E will like. Plus, books are pretty inexpensive, so I'm trying to not make it look like a gift grab. We have soo many clothes (plus many he's already grown out of before he even got to wear) and I don't want my house overflowing with baby toys, especially considering he likes to play with wooden spoons and daddy's clothes the best (and lately power cords, UGH!)!
