M has been screaming for the last half hour. I've tried everything to settle him and nothing is working. His temp is 100.1. Do I take him in? My ears are ringing he's screaming so much.
And of course my parents showed up at 6:30 expecting dinner. Today sucks.
Gosh, I hope he feels better and stays asleep for a bit. Have you tried Tylenol? How's DS1?
Me and ry will be flying to my parents this weekend ... Any advice on flying with a 3 mo old
I'm a lurker on this board, but we literally just got back from a huge trip with our 3mo old so I'll throw in my 2 cents if that's ok. I wore the baby through the airport and it made security and boarding a breeze. We checked the stroller and car seat at the gate. Check if the plane has a changing table so you know ahead of time (large planes do, smaller not so much). We waited to be last to get off the plane just so we could take our time. This also meant our luggage was ready by the time we were at baggage claim. Almost everyone was super nice and helpful. Overall it was easier than I expected on all 5 legs of our trip. Oh but bring extra everything in the diaper bag including plastic bags in case you have a massive blowout like us! Haha.
We had kids at our wedding, and I hired a girl to sit at a table with activities to keep the kids entertained. Then someone's kid screamed the entire time dad was giving his speech. You friggen walk out when your kid is screaming, especially during a speech. I am still bitter about that.
I spent the last few hours cleaning out my closet. I have done it in almost 2 years. So much junk!! Plus I have 2 big bags of stuff to donate. I feel accomplished.
I so need to do this too! I have been avoiding it at all costs, but I think the time is near.
Hope M feels better. It is not a fever yet, but you know him best. Does your insurance or pediatrician have a nurses line? You might try that and see what they say.
Thanks. He eventually just started sputtering and fell asleep. He seems ok sleeping now but the nurses line said they would take him in when he wakes up. It has just been one of those days...
I was giving baby a bath and making choo choo and cugga cugga sounds. He started laughing at it. Not just the little hehehe laugh, but a hearty giggle.
I got the first real giggle from S yesterday too! I was pretending to eat his hands and feet and he was laughing. Unfortunately, I'm not as funny today so I haven't been able to recreate it for DH.
I didn't even think of kids/no kids at our wedding. We ended up having some kids, but not a ton. My younger sister is getting married in September and she was trying to do no kids, but I am not going to travel to the city she is getting married in and ask my ILs to take care of S overnight. I'm not ready for that yet.
S finally fell asleep on me for what seems to be a good nap. My mom was watching some trashy tv before she went to work and I can't find the remote. Looks like I'm stuck watching Baywatch...
buttercup that sounds so incredibly frustrating. At my work this past year we have implemented a new database. Despite the fact that we spent over a year and a half on conversion it is still very rocky. Some things are better but a lot still aren't fully built out yet so we are trying to do manual workarounds too. Grrrr.

Oh, this reminds me. We went out to eat yesterday with both kids, and there was another family there with a kid who was maybe 2. He started losing his shit--screaming bloody murder and crying. At first, we were joking about it because we've definitely been there with our older kid in particular having a meltdown somewhere, but then it kept going...and going...and going. For 15 minutes, this kid was climbing all over and under the booth shrieking while the mom tried to talk him down. It was so ear-splitting, DS kept jumping and finally started crying, so I had to get up and leave with him. They were already done eating, so I'm not sure why they didn't just pack it in and call it a day. It was so rude.
tl;dr Kids tantrum in public sometimes. It's part of life and doesn't mean you're a bad parent or anything. But if you let your kid scream for 15 minutes in a restaurant filled with people and don't take them outside or to the bathroom or somewhere to cool off, you're an asshole.
I hate that! When my kid loses his shit we chug our drinks and get out ASAP.
buttercup I'm quite liberal and I don't mind having intelligent conversations about politics. If I don't know about something, I'm not going to pretend I do, so I stick to the topics I do understand. I absolutely do not mind people posting intelligent political remarks on Facebook. The one thing I can't stand is when people either make fun of a politician, or make degrading remarks about a political party. I had to delete family who went on rants about how dems are lazy blah blah blah. Man, fuck you for calling DH lazy. He deployed 3 times so you can have the freedom to spew that shit. I had to call them out, it led to a fight, and I don't care.
Before the primaries my cousin would constantly post stuff promoting Sanders. I'm liberal and even I had to hide my cousin on fb cuz I was like "ohmygod enough!!"
Anyhow, so my point is that no matter what side a person is on, I don't mind intelligent political talk and light debating. Just making fun of people makes one sound uneducated.
Ahhh seems so early! I know there was another baby on here with one going on two teeth!. Crazy!
DS1's pedi said some babies are born with teeth!
I am super duper behind and trying to catch up on TCF. Sorry for dredging up an old topic, but mine was born with a tooth! And she's the one working on her second tooth! Yikes! They pulled the one she was born with when she was in the NICU because it was loose and they didn't want her to aspirate it. She popped her first tooth at 8 weeks and she is sooooo close to popping the second!

My last big project as CIO before I quit corporate to focus on making a baby was implanting a major piece of software for a large power company and, like most projects that size, there were a few issues. But the best thing my team did was to stay super close to those at the coal face and listen to all their concerns and the work arounds we were forcing on them as a result of our implementation. It meant we kept them on board rather than creating a huge backlash and eventually we got there and kept everyone (well mostly) happy. You cannot afford to isolate IT strategy and operations from the end users on something like that and your management deserve to find out that they're a joke for doing so.

Definitely going to bed tonight feeling like Mum-ing is hard.
And I say Mum-ing not parenting because even with a husband who is amazing and and hands on and throws himself right deep into parenting and does so much for the kids and I in every way, as a Mum I still take the brunt and carry the lions share a lot.
And yeah, Mum-ing was hard today.
ETA: this feeling is mostly because 3 year olds can be right dicks.
OMG have you already reached the magical stage where the put their paci in all by themselves?!?!? I feel like that day is never going to come...
I watched DS in the rear view mirror the other day. He had pulled it out with his thumb, and his thumb stayed hooked in. He then kept making attempts to put it back in his mouth, but isn't quite coordinated enough.

I'm taking a trip to Target today too. A has saved up all her chore money and decided she wants to spend it in an Easy Bake Oven. She has worked long and hard for this day. I'm so proud of her.
DS1 has hand, foot, mouth disease which explains the fever he had yesterday. Now we just wait and see if DS2 gets it.
Ugh so sorry you are going through this. One of my friends just went through this with her toddler and 10 month old. Hope everyone gets healthy quickly!
DS just rolled from back to belly for the first time!!! I'm excited for him to reach this milestone, but also bummed we won't be swaddling anymore. If you are following me on IG, I managed to capture it on video!
My dreams of sleeping in were destroyed by a baby who wants to party early morning. I have come to accept the he is going to wake up a bunch motn. I don't even know anymore how frequent it is. It might be daycare related because he did well last weekend. My body has adjusted.
I am watching him remove and insert his paci.
I am slowly beginning to adjust to this too. I suppose I will sleep once S is....in elementary school?! I have resorted to crib for the first stretch and then cosleeping so I can maybe get more sleep. I may regret that later, but oh well. For now I'm enjoying the baby snuggles. Last night I spent a good chunk of time watching him figure out how to get comfortable on his side since he's been rolling like crazy. Once when he woke up and I thought he was hungry he spent the whole time pretending he was going to latch and then rolling into his back. Ugh sleep child!
