Mr. P is sick. He took my car for an oil change and came home saying he threw up. I think it is just mucous, but either way he's out of commission. I asked his dad to watch Big P so I can still go to my therapy appointment. Mr. P asked if I have to go. I could probably postpone but it took me this long to finally say I need help from therapy and I don't want to put it off. I'm taking Lil P with me.
Wow snuff! Like everyone else said, that looks positive! htle07 DS had poop issues when he was little, and the ped had us mix the prune juice in his bottle. We would mix it in only 2 ounces so we wouldn't lose much if he refused. You can also try a windi. I swear by those with DD.
Today is day 1 of nap training with DD, and so far we got a 45 minute crib nap with minimal crying! Per the 2-3-4 schedule, she is due to go back down at 1:30 which lines up great with DS' nap. DS is finallllllly feeling better. He was up with MH from 12-230 this morning, but he seems to be doing good today. Minimal meltdowns (thank god!) and he is eating more. His fever seems to have turned into a cough and runny nose, so hopefully that means it is on its way out.
htle07, I just talked to our doc about the infrequent pooping. I guess I never thought of it this way, but she said that breast milk doesn't have a lot of "fillers" or stuff the baby doesn't need. So, basically, there's not much waste. That explains why, even though DS2 only poops once every 5 days, it's not always a blowout and he's not more uncomfortable. She said some babies go up to 2 weeks and, as long as he's not uncomfortable, we don't need to do anything about it.
It's....getting there. I'm not on the floor anymore.
It's tough but being consistent definitely helped with my stubborn guy!
He wakes up eleventy thousand times between 8-11:30 and requires being walked back to bed and checks...but o/n if he wakes up he tends to stay in his bed and put himself back to sleep
adouces06 I'm jealous your kids' naps are going to coincide. DS2 got up at 8:30, went down for his first nap at 10:45, and, because he sleeps 2 hours during his first nap, should be up anytime now. DS1 just went down and will only sleep an hour. 😩
Wow @snuff9861 that does look positive. Congrats! Good luck with the whole work/mat leave situation. What will you do with the kids?
Daycare. DS still has a spot, and DD is on the list for the infant room. Since I'm PT, I dont work everyday. And DH will take the rest of the parental leave, therefore we should be able to get away with still sending DS two days a week and not sending DD til she's one.

I wasn't sure if your H could take the rest of the parental leave. That works out then. Weren't you considering that anyways?

htle07, we have been dealing with the no-poo situation in our house as well. DS isn't uncomfortable except for some gas. I think it's been three days at this point this time, but he's gone up to a week. Our daycare provider is more worried than we are. Pedi said to maybe call if he goes over a week or seems unhappy.
@snuff9861, omg, yeah, I was gonna call that a squinter but it looks like the board has already decided for you. Glad your DH is on board. I'm with becole & britta on the glad-its-not-me. Even though I'm on an IUD, you make me pray for my period to get here already.
My son was going poop every 3-4 days the first 3 months but as soon as he started getting daycare bottles, he goes multiple times/ day. It's the same milk so idk why it's different.
So pedi office called back and said to give him through the weekend and not to worry as long as he is behaving normally, eating fine, and tummy is not hard (she said it's pretty obvious when it's hard). . In the meantime to try Karo syrup. One teaspoon mixed with a bottle of BM twice a day. That's a new one for me. I shall try. He doesn't take a bottle well. 😏
My sister had to do Karo syrup with my nephew. He was on soy formula and it was really constipating. It worked for him.
I'm having a tough time being motivated at work to do actual work today. So far I have placed two largish orders from Amazon, one being a Prime Pantry order. I freaking love Amazon.
Why don't stores carry apple jelly anymore? It's my favorite kind of jelly and I found a recipe that I want to make for DD1's birthday party next weekend that requires a just couple of tablespoons of it. I just had to order it from the Walmart website and have it shipped to the store so that I can pick it up next week. To order it on Amazon, it would have been $15 for 2 jars, or $20 for 6 jars. Um, no. I'll take my 2 jars for $4.68, thanks.
I have a confession (probably not as good as Snuff's though)...PDQ
Backstory: the last guy I dated before H had a son from a high school relationship. The son was the same age as my little sister, they were pre-teens at the time. Whenever son would visit us during holiday breaks and the summer, we would get my sister and him together. His son had a hard time when we broke up.
Confessions: Probably 6 months ago, ex's son friend requested me on IG. I suspect he found me through my little sister (they're still FB and IG friends). I decided to accept the request, knowing that he always liked me and was upset when we broke up. Every now and then he'd like one of my pics, but that was it. Last week I opened IG (I don't get on much) and noticed I had a message from him (I didn't know you could send messages through IG). I opened it. It said, "Hey I need to tell you something" I (probably stupidly engaged) At first he said "Never mind I don't want drama" and I said "Ok" and thought that was weird. Then he messaged and said the he had always had a crush on me while I was dating his dad. I laughed and said thanks and he said something to the effect of "But sorry beautiful, I don't think you could handle me" WTAF. Disengaged at that point. Later that day he messaged again and said "OMG don't tell my dad"
So. I felt flattered, wtf, and "WELL THE APPLE DOESNT FALL FAR FROM THE TREE" all in the same convo.
