Morning Ladies. aaaahhhhhh, I'm doing much better today. Not sure what my deal was y'day. DH has been so supportive. His grandma wanted to come over to visit (at dinnertime!) and I said I was just not up to it. He called her and cancelled right away. LOVE HIM!!!

Hope everyone has a good day today. I think I might venture out for the first time today. I havea few things we need at Babies RUS. I *may* even pick up Isabel at preschool.... we'll see how ambitious I feel...

Lisa, We're counting down with you!!!
I hope Trish is doing okay at the hospital.
Hello to Morris, Maggie, Candra, Stephanie, Angela, LisaMarie....anybody else???!!

Hi ladies,
BAD night. Charlie had bad gas and fussed most of the night. I got fussy with DH because he didn't get up very much and it just was a bad night. Hopefully tonight will be better. My mom is coming over today to watch the kids while I design the church newsletter, so it will be nice to have her here.

Kate--Glad you're feeling better today and that your DH is being so sweet!! Have fun on your outing today!

Hi to everyone else... Hope everyone is getting sleep!!
My incision is doing better today, so I'm hoping I don't have to go back to the doc. I am SO tired of going to doctor's offices. Twice to the pediatrician and three times to my OB/GYN already since Charlie's birth. I need a doctor-free week! Better get busy. Will check back in later!

Stephanie, Sorry for the rough night. That is so hard. Last night Julia woke up about every 1.5-2 hours, but thankfully she just nursed herself to sleep pretty quickly each time. Maybe you can sneak ina nap while Mom is over??? That's a lot of dr visits! I hope your healing goes quickly!

Stephanie - Sorry for the hard night. Maybe DH can watch the kids for a couple hrs today so you can at least take a nap or have some down time to yourself. You deserve a little break! Hope your incision heals quickly.

Kate - Glad to hear you're feeling better today.

I have my dr's appt tomorrow and I should have a induction time scheduled then for the 30th. I'm taking my dd to HSM3(High School Musical 3) this Sunday which I'm so glad I can do. Maybe we might attempt the pumpkin patch depending on how tired I feel.

What is everyone's little ones going to be for Halloween?

Hi! We had a rough night too. Aidan is still getting used to his crib, and I think he has his days/nights mixed up. Today, I did manage to take a nap in the afternoon, and I just got my shower.

Stephanie-My incision is still a little oozy too. My sister (a dermatologist) was here on Saturday, so she looked at it. She said it is healing fine. The only problem is that every pair of underwear/pants I have rubs right on it. Every time I take a shower, I wash it gently with Dove, then after the shower I put a washcloth over it (held in by my tummy rolls) so it dries. My dr. told me to keep it there for about an hour or so each day, after the shower. Gross, I know. I hope you got a nap in today!

Kate-I am getting more and more emotional due to lack of sleep! I am glad that today was a better day for you. It does do wonders to get out of the house, even for a little bit! I hope that went well for you. I love Babies R Us, and I have been visiting there often these past few days.

Lisa-Andy, my 3 1/2 year old is being spaghetti and meatballs. Something got into me, and I actually made that costume this year. When we go to Hershey Park on the weekends (they have it done up for halloween-Hershey Park in the Dark), he wears a Yankees outfit. What are your little ones for Halloween? I am bummed because my next grad class begins next Thursday night, and I will miss Trick or Treat night. Here, each township/town has their own designated trick or treat night so that cops are on patrol. Ours is always the Thursday before Halloween, from 6-8. The professor we have for class is one I had before, and she has 3 small children, so I am thinking she will let us out early so we can enjoy trick or treat night.

Hi Jen M! Nice to hear from you!

Hi Kristan, Hi Morris, Hi Trish, Hi Candra, Hi Maggie! Hello to anyone else!

-Jen
p.s. My mom is leaving on Friday, but she said she can come back next week (yeah, mom!!!!). She has been such a help these past 3 weeks!!!

Hi girls!

I just wanted to say a quick hello while Ryder is in his swing.

Kate-glad today you are better It's the hormones. My mil has been taking the boys to and from school for me and I can't help but feel guilty especially when Wilson asks me when am I going to take him to school. I did go out today and picked him up. It was good to get out of the house even for 10 minutes.

Stephanie-sorry you had a bad night with Charlie. I hope you got a nap in.

Lisa-the 30th is right around the corner. Enjoy your last days of being pg. As much as I complained the last few weeks it's sad when it is over.

Jen-are you ready to go back to school? Will it be your first time leaving Aidan? Good for you making your sons halloween costume. Wilson is going to be a ninja, Owen is a power ranger and Ryder has a catepillar costume from gymboree.

Ryder had his first doctors appt yesterday and we scheduled his circumcision for next Wed That is the worst part about having a boy. He has been a great baby so far!! I am still really sore from his delivery but it is getting better everday.

Candra-Aidan's circumcison was done the 2nd day we were in the hospital. The OB does it. The nurse came in, and said, "He's going for his circumcision." She told me that they would keep him in the nursery to observe him for a while afterward. He had the worst night of sleep that night too. Well, it's better for them to get it done while they're young instead of when they are teenagers! Our insurance considers it "cosmetic surgery", and we have good insurance, so we have to swallow that bill! I hope everything works out for him.

I will be going back to school after the new year. But, my mom will stay here for 2 months after I go back to work. She is truly a saint!!! I don't know what I'd do without her!
