I'm back. Her major emergency was asking if she could use her fish soap (which is a bar soap with a toy fish stuck inside). She uses that everytime so not sure why she decided to ask now. SHe has moved on to making a birthday cakse for Minnie Mouse's birthday-she's addicted to that episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
Joats, I don't think I burped Madison past about 4 or 5 months. Hard to remember exactly but I know I was definitely done by 6 months. So my guess would be that you don't need to burp Jace, but then again, if he has any sorta reflux problems or anything where burping would help him then I'd just stick with it. After all, it won't hurt him.
DisKim, sorry that venting to your husband didn't really help you and that you're not feeling too happy. Not that they don't try, but I don't know how much emotional support husbands can provide sometimes. Good luck clothes shopping-I think finding clothes for kids Emmy's age is hard no matter who they are. They're just so picky and full of complaints at that age.
J&D, when does your football season end? I can imagine how much it stinks that your husband is always gone when football's in session. I get that way about call nights sometimes, mostly when it's a weekend, like today for example. It's bad enough that he's gone 30 hours at a time, but when it's a Friday call then he doesn't get home till around 2pm Saturday, sleeps the rest of the day, then has to go back to work Sunday so the whole weekend is ruined. And I imagine much of football is the same regarding weekends.
Oh, and don't be deceived by Henry's "bedtime". He still wakes up throughout the night, but everynight he eats at 8pm, goes to sleep around 8:30 and then sleeps for a longer period before his first night feeding, usually around 12:30. Of course, like Vald said, since I said he follows this routine everynight, last night he was up till 9:30, but he slept till 1:30 so at least he kept the same time interval. Unfortunately the rest of the night he generally wakes up at the 2 hours intervals he does during the day, but I'll take when I can get.
Cabmom, that's a beautiful portrait of your boys. You'll have to show up the finished product you use for your Christmas cards.
Jill, we love the Spy Museum too. We went a lot when it first opened and probably should have gotten the annual pass that year. Did your girls like it? I love John's Halloween costume btw! I think he looks so cute in it. And I agree that you've gotta dress them frouffy while you can! I can't believe he'll be a year old by then.
GM, we found movers to be a huge expense too and tried to do it without them. We couldn't though cause we moved after most of our friends did and there was no way I could have helped move any furniture being 6 months pregnant and we have a lot of stairs to get into our house so my husband couldn't do it himself. We really only had them move the large furniture too, and not even that much cause we bought a lot of new stuff, and it was almost $800.
Fabumouse, glad that your FIL is helping out a bit now. Mine are on par with your FIL but they were only here for a day and I was in the hospital most of that day anyway so it didn't really matter. Yes, that's right, they spent a week in WDW with the rest of the family but only a day with the new baby. Oh well.
Henry is rousing now to eat. I swear that's all he does is eat. If I weren't weighing him and seeing these incredible weight gains I'd seriously think that I'm not making enough milk. But my grandfather gave me an infant scale when Madison was born and I've been weighing Henry on it since I noticed that he seems unsatiable at times and he has gone from 8 lbs. 10 oz. last Friday to 10 lbs. today. It seems like an abnormal rate of gain, but maybe that's just cause I'm used to Madison who was not the biggest eater and dropped off dramatically on the weight percentiles. Today she's 2.5yo and she's 27 pounds so still pretty low on the charts. I guess they're just different kids, so I'm glad I didn't buy him too much stuff in advance based on her sizing.

I hope you had a great date night. I could go for a steak myself! I can't wait until our dinner at Le Cellier.
I hope you get your internet hooked up soon!
I can't even remember the last time we burped Lucas, but he was always a self-burper anyway. 
I've been wearing flip flops too long. I'm off to check out Target.com.
Meagan had horrible diaper rash a few times and we had to wash her rear with water, then air dry her put on some special ointment that the doctor gave us. When does Henry go back to the doctor? Im sure the weight gain is fine, but for your own peace of mind can you call in to an advice line to check? When John was being checked for weight gain when he was a newborn, the doctor told us that she wanted him to at least gain ½ to 1 oz. a day. She didnt say anything about gaining more, but Im sure it is fine if babies do that. It will all even out in the end. 
whatever.
