Trip: NO!!!!!!
Jack: How 'bout ice cream cone?!?!?!

We know what's on Jack's mind.

Friday Night Leftovers - Catch up!

• My big boys are almost 3 years old...where has the time gone? Wasn't it just yesterday I was delirious with exhaustion because I had two little ones that wouldn't sleep through the night?
• Actually, it WAS just yesterday I was delirious. Both Trip and Jack wake up at least once a night crying. Why??????
• Aedan is doing that thing where he does NOT wake up during the night. He HAS been staying up until almost at night, though. And he doesn't care for naps.
• Speaking of Aedan, he's almost six months old. And eating solids. And happy as can be. And needs to slow down!
• Oh yeah, that last picture of Jack? It's atropine in his right eye. He wears thick glasses and at his last check up they determined he's still not using his left eye like he needs to. We have to put atropine in his right eye Friday and Saturday nights in lieu of patching it. After the first few nights of doing it he was fine and now ASKS us for his drops.
• Trip seems a little jealous of Jack's glasses and drops. He doesn't need to be, though; he'll definitely be the first one in braces. Poor little kid got my jaw.
• Tim is finally happy with the vehicle he has. He loves his little BMW. If he doesn't quit giving it so much attention, he may end up sleeping in it.
• I kid.
• Not really.
• Tim got a vasectomy. The emotions we've both had about that are worthy of their own blog post, but I won't get around to it. We've both had serious remorse, but know it's for the best. Another miscarriage/pregnancy/child would be too much stress (emotionally/physically/financially - in that order) on our family. If money were not an option (ie we could afford a larger house, nanny, maid, cook, & adoption or surrogate) we both would have loved to have more children.
• It freaks me out that I haven't had a post-pregnancy period. Logically I know it's because I'm breastfeeding, but my illogical side is freaking out. (think "AUGH I'M PREGNANT!!! OMG MY CERVIX IS MESSED UP!!! HOLY SHIT MY UTERUS IS FILLED WITH CANCER!!!) (like I said, illogical on all counts.)
• Tim had to go to a cardiologist for a seriously rapid heart beat. As far as we know, nothing is wrong. We ARE dealing with the military doctors, though, so we don't know for sure. The cardiologist gave Tim a stress-test and an echocardiogram and said he'd send the results to his primary care manager. We haven't heard back from his PCM, yet. We're likely never to hear back, though. He didn't find out for years that he had high cholesterol (and by then it was no longer high).
• I'm so glad the weather is turning cooler! I know this is crazy coming from my mouth, but I hope we have a nice cold winter (down south only. I hope everyone further north has the exact winter they want). Last winter was way too warm down here & we paid for it with the bugs this summer. 
• I never ended up doing the crochet-a-long I planned on. Instead I've been making hats for different bambinos born to my interweb/twitter pals and for my babes. I tried knitting a scarf for a buddy, but the yarn was screwy and I finally threw it all in the trash.
• Oh yeah! Trip is pretty much completely potty trained!!! Woo-hoo!!!! Jack on the other hand...ugh. He was great for a while, but now he refuses to use the potty. Like I said...ugh.
• I wish I understood why pregnancy announcements still bother me. I'm super happy for any of my interweb/twitter friends, but everyone else....jealous. Why????

Head on over to Danifred's and see who else is having leftovers tonight!
