Pedi is still thinking GI bug which is what H and I were assuming until she got so much more miserable today. He thought she was just more upset because she's sick of being sick. Right there with you LO. Fun fact: GI bugs in babies her age last 7-10 DAYS. If temps go into the 102+ range consistently in the next few days we go back to get straight cath-ed to rule out UTI. I'm not sure if I'm being coherent anymore. So. Tired.
Also, she is 16 lbs 4 oz! No wonder she smiles so big when you ask her who's a big girl.
Anyone have a recommendation for a sound machine that plugs into the wall? We're going through batteries way too fast with our little travel one and the other one I got at my shower turns off after an hour. They seem to all have shitty reviews online.
The marpac dohm is amazing. We have one in each of our rooms.

Thanks for the update sophiegrace. Also, 16lbs!? Wow! Lillian is a tiny thing (5th percentile on average), but she wasn't quite 18lbs at 1 year. I think she hit 16 around 10 months?

I use the Graco sweet slumber machine for both kids. I use the white noise at sleep times and the music for playtime. Absolutely love it and recommend.
I haven't been around much lately and I'm not sure when I'll be able to come around more.
I think I need to get to my doctor to talk about PPD. I just read thru a list of symptoms and was like "check, check, check. " At this point I don't think it's just adjusting to twins since things had been ok and then the last few weeks have been...rough. I guess just keep me in your thoughts right now, please.
You actually have been in my thoughts and I was debating tagging you to check in. I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time. I hope your doc has some help to offer. Please feel free to lean on us too in any way you need!
starbuck27 Always thinking about you, take all the time you need. This shit is hard...hard like I just want to run away or lock myself in a bathroom most days, and then mom guilt for even feeling like that. But as I said to my mom and sister, of all the difficulties I've faced in life: asthma, anaphylactic reactions, training for and running half marathons, watching my parents divorce when I was 10, watching my parents battle ever since that, putting myself through college, watching my father slowly and painfully pass away when I was 19, battling anxiety/depression, moving to a new state on my own with no friends and a new career I knew nothing about, battling eating disorders, tearing down my entire house by hand, building it back up my hand, living with my in laws for a year and a half, struggling with infertility... None of that shit added up comes close to how hard this is, not even close.
I hope you have the best care available, take good care of yourself - you need to in order to take care of them.

That's one I was looking at that actually has decent reviews.

All the love starbuck27. I hope you and your doctor can come up with a plan together because I want nothing more than for you to be able to see how amazing of a mom, friend, and badass woman you are.

Oh @kleightcc. Can I just come hug you? You have been through enough to make even the strongest person bitter, and yet you are here day in and day out as one of the kindest and most supportive people I "know". Your two are so lucky to have you to guide them through life.
starbuck27 thinking of you, I'm glad you're talking to your Dr and I hope you're feeling better soon.
sophiegrace poor M! So sorry to hear she's sick. It's awful when they're under the weather. And 16+ lbs...wow! I took C to the pedi Monday and she was 15, and I thought that was big!
