Sugar Hangover Tuesday?

[rivers and roads]

'Sup. 

[kellybenelly83]

We were up all night. I have Magoo Tylenol at 11:45 and it got us to 2:30, then I was up every 45 minutes or so with him. Finally at 6 after 3 attempts to put him down I took him to bed and got him to fall asleep on me and I managed a shift into bed so that he didn't wake up. That got us to 7:45. Jesus teeth. He's got at least 2 coming, maybe 3, poor kid is so miserable.
He's at daycare right now and I hope his mood is ok for her. He seemed happy enough when I left him.

I hope you are getting a nap while he is at daycare! Sorry for the rough night!

Sorry for the rough night. It's so sad when they are in pain. Have you tried Motrin with him? It lasts a lot longer for my girls and I think it works better in general (helps with inflammation as well).

[kellybenelly83]

No I haven't tried Motrin. I'll check my pharmacy for it later today. He was ok at daycare, he cried for 20 minutes until she discovered the trick of feeding him puffs....lol. That kept him happy evidently. He's napping now, so I'm going to take advantage and work on my go do list....or just have another cup of tea

[rivers and roads]

Sorry for the rough night, kellybenelly83! We were up frequently and then earlier than normal, too. I took a nap when he did this morning, so I got an extra 30 minutes in.

I agree that Motrin/infant ibuprofen lasts longer. Try that!
X *HATES* the taste of it much more than Tylenol, but it buys an extra hour or two at night.

[rivers and roads]

Where do you find your favorite non-skid socks? Dude is trying to stand up on everything but the hardwood floors aren't helping his game.

[britterrss]

W was up literally every 2 hours the whole night. Bleehhhhh.

[auchick913]

kellybenelly83, I agree with motrin/ibuprofen. IT works very well here. I also don't like to use Tylenol unless I'm desperate after I read some studies showing a correlation with Autism.

I think we're probably the last ones to make this milestone by several months, but N has finally started to scoot forward on his tummy this morning (if only by inches!). I'm so proud of him making progress!

I like the gap/old navy socks. They have writing on the bottom that helps them be non-skid.

[piperhalliwell]

I had a Starbucks doubleshot energy drink and I'm already weighing the pros and cons of getting another. I'm dragging and I have a meeting at lunch I need to be functional for.

For those with babies in daycare - how much of their day (eating, diaper changes, etc.) do you expect to be documented? I've been having some concerns since L moved into her new room. I feel like not everything is being documented, or is very delayed in being logged (they use an app and sometimes nothing will be logged until the afternoon). Her solid eating is hardly ever documented. Maybe three times in the last three weeks. Do you expect it all to be written down, or do you assume things are being taken care of? Also, her teacher's shift ends at 4pm, at which point L goes to one of two other classrooms. Once she moves, nothing else is logged and I have to rely on remembering to ask the teacher when she last ate. Is it appropriate to ask that they find a way to continue the log after the transfer? I understand how busy they must be looking after multiple babies, so I've tried to be patient, but I feel like I, at least, need to know concretely what she has eaten that day. Her old room was excellent about logging everything in a timely fashion, so this is an awkward change.

I got some from Carters that seem to be working well. 

[trtlcrzy]

piperhalliwell I think it's a reasonable request for them to log everything, if the later room can't do it on the app, at least on paper. When H was this age in daycare we got a paper slip with all of her diaper changes (wet and/or bm), bottles (amount), and solid foods.

[trtlcrzy]

I was thinking we would have a lazy day today and then remembered I made plans to go to the new indoor pool with some friends. I also want to run to the grocery store so I better get everybody dressed and ready to go.

You aren't the last. I still have a non-mobile baby lump. Not for lack of effort, just lack of coordination.

ETA I just posted a video on Facebook of bobble head baby trying to crawl.

not sure if you have them in USA or are able to ship to you from Canada but Joe Fresh makes amazing socks with grippy dots on the bottom and we use them everyday. and i know you don't need lights but for anyone looking for grippy with a girl they also put it on the feet of their tights. 

[rivers and roads]

piperhalliwell, not daycare, but I think it's reasonable for them to document it in some form. They consolidate at the end of the day to help their staffing numbers, and that's fine- but you're not paying a different rate for when the consolidation happens, so I think you're entitled to still expect the same degree of care and communication. As trtlcrzy said, even if it's just on paper, something would be helpful.

[tkford216]

That sounds miserable kellybenelly83. I hope those damn teeth come in soon.

[kellybenelly83]

Well I stuck my finger in, bottom right tooth has broken the skin, maybe the worst is over? Top lateral right seems swollen still. I think that's next.

This is the kind of info we get too. It's maybe different for us since I pack her food, but they send home what she doesn't eat so I know what she's been eating.

+ whatever to the motrin suggestion. We get the dye free berry flavor, and DD is absolutely nuts over the stuff. She likes medicine in general though, so is probably not the best gauge.

[tkford216]

Am I the only one who mixes meds into a bit of milk? He spits it out otherwise.

[kellybenelly83]

Mine takes meds no problem actually.

Of course after bragging about his consistent naps lately the little bugger takes a 30 minute nap while I'm doing yardwork and can't finish

This is what I did with vitamins. She takes tylenol okay, so I haven't done it for that yet.

[mrssmith613]

All three of my kids slept horrible last night. Although out of a bit of spite I always try to keep them home when I and home, MIL always says they can come to daycare anytime so I may have just taken them all over there so I can come and sleep. I told her I was gonna clean the basement.

[trtlcrzy]

Girl get your rest mrssmith613, I know I would be.

[trtlcrzy]

So we went to aldi and then the grocery store, where H was so crabby. It's my fault because we left the house so late. We got home, had lunch and now she's napping on the couch, S is in the rnp in my room. I'm hoping for a good nap from both of them. After I got them both down I went to the bathroom and finally, after weeks of cramping and craziness it appears my first pp period is here. Unfortunately it had to come the day I'm supposed to take the girls swimming. Just my luck.

[trtlcrzy]

leahks77 it appears we are linked, lol.

ETA: and by linked I mean our cycles are synced.

Our kids are on opposite days. I finally got two 90 min naps out of him today, first in a while.

[apunicorn]

Hey guys! I haven't been on here in a LONG time. *waves*

We were also up a bunch of times last night due to teething. This new canine is a killer.

piperhalliwell my daycare in NYC documented everything on a paper but this new one in CA doesn't document anything. I thought it was overkill when the NYC one told me exactly how many dirty diapers, ounces of food, etc happened so I'm pretty happy with the new laid-back one. She obviously tells me if something crazy happened but otherwise just tells me whether she was in a good or bad mood today.

[tkford216]

My stupid dog just ate an entire *bone-in* chicken breast. I can't wait to be woken up at 3am when he's puking everywhere.
