Hi there! I've been thinking of starting a new thread every day, and here we are way into October and it's just now happening! Attempting to take advantage of kids playing happily...we'll see how long that lasts!!
Congrats to Hillary on her new little one!

Birthdays...I don't know what we'll do yet. I can't believe our babies are going to be 4! I still see him as a smiley, round faced baby! I know he wants a Wall-E cake though! We don't do the party thing any more, too stressful for me and not really the most fun to have a bunch of little kids all trying to share toys in an enclosed space! We usually do some kind of fun, memorable train-related trip!
It's been a looooooooong, dreary week. We've all been sick, I think it's the flu. And it's been freezing, and pouring rain for days. We're all stir crazy. I"m so ready to get back into a normal routine! Ezra is just climbing the walls, he was sick before any of us so now he's well, while the rest of us are just laying around! The weather is really complicating matters b/c we can't go outside even if we wanted to for some brightening sunshine and exercise!
Gunter- looking forward to hearing about your potential travel plans!
Mel- and about your job/moving plans!
The boob obsession is still really bad
It's totally getting me down. I'm used to waiting out phases, but this is taking a really long time and doesn't seem to be getting better, only worse. It really doesn't matter if I am kind and talk about our feelings, speak firmly about respecting my body, or lose it and cry and yell. He'll do it 30 seconds later, he has no impulse control whatsoever. It's better out of the house, but of course lately we've only been in the house and in close proximity so it's been non stop!! It's really upsetting me that I can't enjoy having him as my baby for these last few weeks of pregnancy, and so often I have to keep my distance or struggle with him! 
Thanks so much, Gunter, for sharing what's going on with you, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one! But I hope it gets better for you and your Ez soon, too!
Well, happy fall everyone
Look forward to hearing what you're all up to!

So along with that mess and taking precautions shortly after we wound up in the shelter, had been staying with a cousin, we found out am pg again 
I'm really starting to think an elective hysterectomy sounds like a good form of birth control at this rate. I have no clue how far along I am as my cycles were beyond wild thanks to stress.
I'm so glad you checked in. Glad to hear you have a steady job and income, and you're out of the shelter! I'm hoping everything works out as it is supposed to with the baby on the way, and your and Kyle's relationship. Keep us posted, mama 
I'm trying to figure out how to deal her social stuff right now- she isn't shy in most situations, but really struggles with the formal politeness with anyone but Matt and I right now. To her, saying please or thank you is a fate worse than death, and even the benefits of candy don't outweigh the downsides.
