To everyone observing Easter today, wishing you a joyous holiday.
Although we don't observe Easter, I was very pleasantly surprised that my mother sent a small package for my kids. She doesn't understand the Passover food restrictions and included some cookies that she made with my older niece. I hope they'll still be good when eat them on Tuesday.

That's very sweet!
I love Passover - but by the end I run out of things to eat! I just ate a spoonful of cream cheese 😑
Gah. I feel like I'm totally messing up my kid's sleep. She's seven months, just transitioned to three naps, quickly might be dropping to two, is teething, just learned to crawl and is trying desperately to figure out feet/standing.
Our nighttime routine has always been: bedtime in crib and move to pack n play at some point in the night. The past week has been hard. She wants to play, crawl, sit, talk and shriek every two hours. Last night, I found her sitting in the pack n play laughing at me and when I didn't interact with her, she melted down.
She naps well but she's obviously tired very soon after getting up. She also has a hair trigger because she didn't sleep enough.
I need to help this before it goes really off the rails. Sigh. Too many things happening at once for my little human.
coffeequeen14- it's a bit lighter than the pics make it look. And DH needs to frame out the window still. He was hoping to have time to do it yesterday but I decided I'd rather take a real shower hahaha.
joy I don't think you're screwing up her sleep. DS doing this too. He's learning new skills and he loves it, so he just wants to keep practicing them. He only slept for 7 hours last night because he just wanted to play. He also loses his mind if I don't want to play between 4 and 6am.

joy this too shall pass. You're not doing anything wrong. I find that with emerging skills, the kid tends to have a disrupted sleep pattern for a bit but will eventually settle back into a good one. Hopefully sooner rather than later:)
Whose the one that had their kitchen renno that looked amazing? That was you, right?
I'm envious you're so good at making it look....good.
That's me!! DH alllllmost finished the backsplash. He was going to tile around the entire window and then decided he didn't like the way it looked because of the pattern- wouldn't work around the window. So now I'm going to pick out another smaller, decorative tile that I want there. He also still needs to grout, oh and finish the new ceiling. It's getting there.
Thanks guys. When DH picked out this house I was like nooooooooo. But then he was like "imagine what we could do with this kitchen if we knocked the wall down". Sold.

My mom got a mini cake and candle and sang happy 8th month birthday to M today while she watched the kids while I work. It really irked me. I'm not sure why. I feel like she tried to steal a first. I often feel like my mom tried to control or insert herself inappropriately and tries to do their firsts with her or make holidays her way. I'm being ridiculous on this one, right?
My mom irks me a lot. She deserves it. most of the time.

Happy Easter/Passover to everyone who celebrates! We had a wonderful Easter Sunday yesterday. The weather was beautiful so ds1 and my nieces spent a lot of time outside.
Ds2 has been having some sleep difficulties lately as well. Today he was really congested and drippy, and he was drooling a ton. No idea if it's teeth or a cold, but I don't want him getting sick again! Tonight he didn't even want his cheerios with dinner, which is very rare!
So that's a no on daytime size four... he already had a poop blowout
I'm late to this, but with ds2, we always sized up at night before daytime. And we use overnight diapers. When we finish what we have (maybe a few weeks), I'm going to move up to 4s overnight for ds2.
Me (30) MH (32) Dx: MFI (low all the things) M. 10/11. TTC Since 01/14 IUI#1-3(Letrozole + Trigger) = BFN Second Opinion. Changed RE's. IVF 09/15 Long Lupron 12R/9M/8F, Transferred 1=BFN. 4 frosties. FET #1 12/15 Transferred 1 (3 still on ice)

I know how you feel so it's irk me. My mom tries to be the grandmother/Mom she wasn't so I think it's why I get annoyed. For instance this year she dyed Easter eggs with my toddler and I was upset. I wanted to do it my DD first. When I called my mom out on it she didn't try to hide that she didn't care that she stepped on my toes. She responded with "well it'll still be the first time with you." So no you are not being ridiculous.
coffeequeen14 um, what the heck. I would be so pissed off. Also - 8 month birthday cake?? Also also, the thing with the jackets would REALLY piss me off.
redhead610 thanks! We're sticking with the size 4 overnights, and there haven't been any pee-through-the-clothes yet. Daytime is still size 3. Hope your guy feels better enough to eat his cheerios tomorrow!
steph, kitchen looks great. coffeequeen14, it looks to me that the issue between you and your mom is about far more than giving the baby cake. It sounds like she doesn't respect your autonomy as a parent and will do what she wants. My sympathies because she sounds very challenging to deal with. Would it be at all helpful if you said that it hurts you when she does certain things?

shehulk723, how is YH doing? Any response to Humira?
Haven't started it yet. A nurse is coming to our house in a couple hours to prep him for starting it, then we're just waiting on a pre-authorization from the doctor to the specialty pharmacy and then we can start it. I spent a lot of time on the phone with doctors and the pharmacy yesterday. He collapsed in the hallway the days before yesterday because he's so weak and he cried yesterday when he had to ask me to pick him up some adult diapers because he hasn't been able to make it to the bathroom in time several times.
shehulk723, I'm so sorry about everything your family is going through, MH went through an extremely difficult time 7 years ago during a very long and painful recovery from a nearly fatal auto accident. it's hard not to be consumed by the situation. Sending you big cyber hugs.
