Please no going back in days. Today is my Friday and I do not need to relive yesterday. People at work piss me off and it's already started again today.
Winter decided to come back and it's in the 40s currently. Should be a gorgeous day this afternoon, though. This is why I love winter here. Mid 60s, sunny, light breeze. Perfection.
Lilah woke up 3 times, but it felt like continuous fussing since we cosleep. I'd fall asleep to her nursing furiously and then wake up to fussing, unable to determine how long I was asleep. But the clock said she woke up at 12, 2, and 4:30. Then we were up for the day at 7. Go away sleep regression!! I know I've got an easy one this time, but still. She did put herself to sleep last night for about 30 minutes when I was getting my tea and toast. I guess that's progress?
Today we are making a craft to thank the firefighters and police in our area. Tomorrow we are going to tour the new fire station by us and give them the thank you. We'll probably go to the park this afternoon.
Anyone else having crazy hair loss? I woke up covered in hairs and every shower I'm pulling out wads of it. It's mildly concerning, though I know it's normal. Annoying to deal with, too.
C was extra crabby yesterday, maybe the rolling over was too much life too handle. He would get really cuddly when he got tired but then he would fight falling asleep. His latest thing is to "ew" his paci when he almost falls asleep as if he's mad that is making him sleepy. I can't help but laugh though. He went down for the night around 9, woke up at 1:30 then back to bed until 7:30. He was been extremely consistent with his wakeup time this week. Sucks that he seems to be falling into a nice schedule and we're going to ruin it in a couple weeks.
I'm not sure what we're doing today. I mentioned going to my parents to H and he said I should stop by his parents house to visit first since they get jealous that they don't see C as much as my family does. So that's probably our plan. Luckily they only live a couple miles away from each other.
Sounds like you guys are getting the cold front that just went through here yesterday. It was crazy windy and the temp dropped 25 degrees really quick along with a little bit of snow.

I'm not understanding how he can be taking that personally starbuck27. As though you really need something else to worry about. How many hours of the day are you being touched by a little human? I wouldn't be able to handle sex on top of breastfeeding two and all the toddler hugs. I can feel the out-touched feeling creeping up my back just thinking about it.
MH is mad that we haven't had sex in a while. He knows how I've been feeling the past few weeks especially. I have no idea why he's taking my lack of drive personally. It's kind of pissing me off TBH.
Come on Mr Starbuck. Try to channel your empathy instead of your hormones. You could also have him talk to Mr hangry, it's been, umm, an embarrassingly long time. starbuck27
+138568 to gross, excessive hair loss
E still napping in her car seat from morning daycare drop off. I had hot tea and warm pumpkin bread. I know the rest of the day will be struggling to get 30 min naps, so I'm letting her go to town in the car seat.

So the regression started almost a month ago (I double checked because it feels like a year). Last Mia wouldn't go down. Everything was the most amazing thing. The lights, the fabric of my headboard, literally everything was making her smile. Adorable, but frustrating.
Well, she went down for good at 10:15 and I waited until 10:30 to put her down (dockatot) where she stayed sleeping until 3:30!!! What?!!! And then after a snack went back down until 6:40. Went back down again until 9:30.
D slept fine last night after her fussy bedtime, waking at 5 to nurse and then at 8 for the day. It took me forever to fall back asleep though after the wakeup so I'm dragging this morning. I'm currently in the process of putting her down for a nap but after that my coffee is waiting for me downstairs!
After her nap I'm taking her into Boston to see some old coworkers for lunch or coffee, depending on what time we get there. I need to figure out what to wear. None of the nice outfits I can think of are nursing friendly.
Also having hair loss, but sounds like not as bad as some others. What is still absolutely killing me are the night sweats. It's really starting to bug me.
So L has me wrapped tightly around his little finger, last night was a sleep on me night FFTC, I love it! But I'm so confused, AAP says babies should stay in the room with parents till 1 year, but hope for a 6 month minimum. My baby is already 14.5lbs, he's over 2 feet long, how am I supposed to do that when bassinets max weight is 20lbs?

Speaking of outfits that are nursing friendly, we have three weddings in May. Anyone have any dress suggestions? This will be my first warm weather event where I won't be pregnant in two years and I want to look HOT.

cheshie6 there are some in bed options of your bed has enough room or you can take the front off of a mini (or regular) crib and butt it up against your side of the bed.
ETA: I love it too. I'm slowly introducing her to the crib and even though it's only 20 feet away and just about in the same room, I miss her when she's there.
cheshie6 Lillian was in our room until 8 months in the pnp. Dropped the mattress down when she started trying to pull up. We used it on vacation, too. Some people use other things like a mini crib. Right now Lilah is in the pnp. We'll move her after our summer vacation sometime in July.
sophiegrace Yay! Hopefully this is a new leaf and you'll finally get some decent sleep!
starbuck27 Ugh. Not cool. I hope he backs off and realizes how insensitive he's being.
hangry I hung out in my car for about 45 minutes yesterday while the girls slept. Easier than trying to move them and ruining it.
It's just that they make these recommendations but there are few products out there to let you do it realistically. I have a big room but most don't. I think DH is going to do an IKEA hack! Kinda like sophiegrace recommended.
I have no intention of keeping L in here a year, but he's only 3 months... TODAY! I'm just hoping to keep him in here until he consistently sleeps through the night.
starbuck27 We still haven't DTD. Like, it's been since July. I'm perfectly fine with it, but I'm sure MH isn't. He tried once right after my 6 week appt and I told him I wasn't ready yet.
I'm sorry YH is taking it personally, but come on dude. This shit is hard!
He said something about that part of our marriage "being over." Like what? Give me time. And quit with the histrionics.
Have to go pick my eyeballs off the ground from rolling them too hard.
Hs are being dicks apparently. I'm so sorry starbuck27 and tgrimes1980 . Like asking about it and making one feel stressed about it is definitely the way to get one in the mood especially when they're already stressed about twenty-hundred other parenting things. Tgrimes.. Esp since H is sick, I'd be all over that monitor - in fact, he'd be in bed with me or in a RnP next to me. I know that's not saying much since I'm clearly somewhat an attachment parenter but survival (easier to check and put in paci right next to me) and also congestion in a baby makes me nervous.
sophiegrace Look at M !! Ok so now did she get the memo that this is supposed to be a pattern and occur every night and not just be a once off?
danib I still love your hair short like that. My PP hair loss is. VERY VERY bad. Very bad. Like I can't begin to explain how much it is, entire fistfuls every time I even touch my head. And I kept thinking about how you said you cut yours after C and I've been thinking of doing the same - did it help disguise the loss and/or reduce the amount you lost?
dashook Is it cold up there today? Do you guys drive in or take the T? Enjoy!! I wish it was one of those 60*+ days for you 😩
goldenlove3 Please take your cold front back. Please and thank you.
cheshie6 H and I initially said we were ok doing a year in our room but it's already getting difficult as they get bigger. I'd like them out of the bed by 6 months, but ok if they are in PnP by our bed until 1 year. H wants to put up their cribs in our room... Um no. Our room is not that big to add TWO full size cribs. Feel free to post a picture of whatever YH hacks so we can get some ideas :-)
Speaking of outfits that are nursing friendly, we have three weddings in May. Anyone have any dress suggestions? This will be my first warm weather event where I won't be pregnant in two years and I want to look HOT.
OOOH I love dress up time. Do you NIP or would it be sufficient that the dress is strapless and easy enough to pull down/unzipped down in a women's lounge. Usually wedding venues have a nice big women's lounge area, at least around here and I guessing there too.
ETA I actually have no clue bc I'm not nursing and just realized you guys also have to deal with spillage and such. I just want in on the dress browsing fun! Lol
kleigh it isn't terribly cold but it's super windy which makes it feel chilly. I'll probably just wear D when we get there so she'll be pretty sheltered from it. I have taken her on the T before but I still have to drive to get to the T station.
Actually I haven't decided yet if I'm going to do that today or drive all the way in and park. The old office is near South Station, and it can be a huge pain to park around there, but obviously having my car right there significantly shortens our travel time. Driving in, without traffic, it takes like 30 minutes plus time finding parking and potentially having to walk a ways; driving to the T without traffic is like 15-20 minutes and then it's 30 minutes on the T, assuming the damn thing is running properly.

dashook I think it's cool that you meet up with your co-workers so often. Not one of mine has messaged me while I've been on leave unless they are responding to me sending them a picture. Before I left we talked about getting lunch so they can meet C and I've heard nothing so far. It's a little frustrating.

Aw! I can see how that would be frustrating. How can they not be jumping at the chance to see that little guy (and you of course)?!
I think with me it's a product of my being a social instigator, and it's also a business move. I'm so focused now on building my brand that I keep up with *everyone* in the legal market that I work with or against. Maybe I'm just a very squeaky wheel.
Edit to clarify: by "social instigator" what I mean is that when I'm there (i.e., not on leave), I'm always the one being like "anyone want to take a walk to get lunch?" or after-work drinks or whatever. When I'm not there none of them do anything, for whatever reason. So I think they wish they had someone to get lunch with and instead of initiating that with someone who isn't on leave, they text me lol

I used to be like that but I've become more antisocial as time went on. Maybe because I was thinking about quitting lol, I dunno. I mean I guess I can ask them if they want to get lunch but we used to have monthly group lunches so I figured they'd let me know when they're going out.

I am on the hunt and not having much success. I'm looking for wrap or ones that button.. Banana Republic had a few wrap ones, but of course the 40% off sale had ended by the time I tried to buy..I refuse to buy anything full price there.

ClassyMrsA thank you for making something for the police officers. It's such a thankless job most of the time. People don't understand how much they sacrifice.
cheshie6 I moved O out of our room at 8 weeks. I think he and I are both happier.
Owen slept through the night! For the first time! 830pm to 630am! That is all.
