I am so upset. My 3 year old had his dentist visit on Thursday. He has horrible teeth. We've been working so hard on trying to prevent further decay and damage and they got so much worse. He now has to go to the hospital and have all this work done under anesthesia. I am so sad for him and so scared. We're looking at 8 potential caps on his molars (he wouldn't let them xray so they all might not be too bad) and fillings on his front laterals.
indseylay that sounds horrible hopefully it turns out better once they get a good look at his teeth.
I have to take my 3yo to the dentist today as well. So far DS seems excited to go since they get prizes & goodie bags. We shall see he did great 6 months ago which was very unexpected so I'm hoping for a repeat. I was smart and booked this appointment later in the morning so we have plenty of time to eat & get ready.

****loss and living child discussed***** We're queer. I'm 34, have severe stage 4 endo, and both fallopian tubes are gone. My love ("Manada" 33) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tav.in and Ca.sey at 21 weeks gestation.

I'm so sorry. Teeth strength is just genetic, and there is nothing you could have done. It sucks when your kid gets the short end of the stick. Hugs.
Up at 530 for the 4th day in a row. I'm so frustrated. He's getting 9.5 hours of sleep per night, and that isn't a healthy for any baby. He sleeps more during the day because of this. I have a hard time believing that if I put him down earlier, that he will sleep longer. Has this worked for anyone?
Up almost every half an hour until I brought Mila to bed. As soon as I put her down and laid next to her, she went right to sleep. I really don't want to make this a habit, but I need sleep!
I'm so sorry indseylay. I have struggled with weak, cavity-riddled teeth my whole life. It's genetic and it sucks. Fwiw, as a kid I preferred going under general to have dental work done, which happened twice. My parents told me that instead of suffering at the dentist I got to take a little nap, and afterwards I got Popsicles and a little present. They made it feel special as opposed to scary.

Same here! I still struggle a lot with my teeth and toothpain have been part of my life for as long as I can remember.
indseylay I hope your lil guy will not be in too much pain it sucks

What time are you putting him down now? How much daytime sleep is he getting?
It was both a good and rough weekend. A was awesome with the baptism weekend chaos, but her nap schedule was destroyed and that carried into sleepless, tear-filled nights. We suspect she's allergic to cats. Her croup cough and a runny eye came back after being in contact with my dad, stepmom, brother, and his wife. H is very allergic to cats and always gets sick after visiting my dad (and of course my family thinks cat allergies aren't a big deal, even if you have asthma liked H). Calling the pedi today, because the eye was worse and her breathing is slightly off when she gets hyper or upset still.
Had a great weekend with Dani. I really love this age. She is just so happy, so much fun, and I love seeing her personality develop. Last night she was in her jumper being silly and DH and I were just laughing at her. She is so funny, and does the most ridiculous stuff. Then she laughs when we laugh, and repeats what she did. If I could birth an 8 month old, I'd consider having another. DNW to do the newborn thing again, even though Dani was ridiculously easy.
My assistant is out sick today, so of course I'm totally lost without her. She is seriously amazing. Her 25th birthday is next month and I want to get her a nice gift, but have no idea what to buy. She is super trendy and far more fashionable than I am, so I don't want to get her something lame and uncool. lol
caitost21 @britbrafj lately I've been putting him down at 8. He takes two long naps when at home (4 days a week, totaling 4 hours) but when he's at daycare the other 3 days he only gets 1.5..2 hrs max...so I feel like he makes up for it when he's at home during the day. There is a chance that he maybe gets sick of his swing after 9 hours? I may try the crib again tonight
indseylay , hope everything goes as smoothly as possible, sorry your little guy is dealing with this.
emejay , their gag reflex at this age is further forward in their mouths than an adult's gag reflex. Cal usually just coughs and gags but doesn't vomit, until one day he was randomly chewing on the strap to my purse and puked all over his carseat. Nice.
hovenb , Cal's internal clock seems pretty strong and he wakes at the same time every morning no matter when he goes to bed. We had 5am wake ups for 2 weeks and then the last two days he's slept until almost 6 and woken up happy (when he wakes at 5am he's crying). He's also all of a sudden napping much better so maybe that helps. Nighttime sleep is important but, for now, as long as Finn is making up for it during the day then I wouldn't worry too much. How are his nights otherwise? Does he wake often? Have you left him to try to put himself back to sleep when he wakes early? EDIT: just say your response above. 8 seems like a little bit late for bedtime, I would probably try aiming for 7 and see how that goes. Also, that doesn't sound like enough sleep to make up for only getting 9.5 hours at night. But, like everything else, this is probably just a phase
txshep, +1 for DNW NB stage but would love to birth a developmentally 8-month old (definitely not the size, even little Dani!). A is definitely experimenting with us and loves to make us laugh. She also thinks "no no no!" is hilarious. I need to work on getting a stricter tone and not (sometimes) simultaneously laughing when I tell her no.
A's new thing as of last night and this morning is trying to crawl under the gap in her crib. This is not fun, because she's going to get stuck and has not learned how to duck her head (she thinks she can just ram through barriers). Do they make infant-sized football helmets?

Massage gift card. You can never go wrong with that and it's not necessarily something you spend money on when you are young (er)
We had a great weekend ! We went to the zoo Saturday and both girls did so great ! DD1 was in heaven ! It was so much fun , if I could birth a 2 yo I would have a few , this is the best stage ( aside from the temper tantrums here and there ). Every time she reaches a new age I'm like " this is my favorite age ".
I'm 100% convinced LO isn't ever going to crawl normal . For the past couple days she's been doing this butt scoot , then downward dog ( almost trying to stand ) , sit back down , repeat . She gets where she wants to go so I guess this is her " crawling ".
mamasue , there are so many little things that MH just doesn't notice or can't remember so I feel you. Plus, after a long day, it's those little things that just grind on you! Suggestion: if you use tamper resistant plugs then you don't have to use plug protectors...instead of getting annoyed everyday just bug him until he puts in new plugs!

Ugh this weekend was an emotional roller coaster. I need a vacation like now.
I honestly don't even know where to begin on explaining how they acted in front of us and Callie. It was awful. They verbally attacked myself and DH and walked out the door over nothing. DH has had continuous issues with his mother from childhood and really I'm horrified by the stories he has told me. She has worked to come back into his life on a more positive note over the years but after this weekend I don't know if I can ever have the same relationship with her again...let alone have her around our daughter with that kind of behavior.
ETA: They meaning my IL's (MIL and Step father in law)
indseylay hopefully it won't be as bad as they think. Also I think under sedation can be better because the child doesn't remember the ordeal and the dentist can see everything well.
emejay babies actually have a really strong gag reflex and it is further forward on their tongue than it is for adults. It's designed to help prevent choking. Hannah has had a couple of gagging episodes when she puts too big a chunk in her mouth it then goes right on eating once she clears it.
txshep maybe a gift card to a fancy nail salon? I know a lot of people will go to just a basic place but rarely splurge for the delux treatment. But then again I'm not very hip or trend so I'm not much help
sdfonz619 Hannah was the same way last night. I fought her for a while trying to get her to sleep in her crib with no luck. I finally gave in and out in her bed with us. She was out like a light right away. It's not something I like to do but sometimes sleep wins out.
While I love seeing Hannah's personality and all that she is learning I find this stage very draining. She either wants me constantly or she wants to be standing and walking. She's not ready to walk but thinks she is, so I am constantly worried she will fall and get hurt. DS was a late walker and actually had to due some PT due to his IUGR and sometimes I wish H would slow down a bit. She also tries to eat every single little crumb off the floor. It names getting things down around the house hard because I fell like I can't leave her for more than a second.

I would move bedtime back. Freya goes down around 7/7:15. And yes I would move him into the crib. He may be getting uncomfortable since he can't move around in the swing. Freya moves all night. (FWIW she still wakes 2-4 times a night so this is not magic getting him to sleep through advice).
Send coffee please. We skipped the whole sleep regression and went straight to newborn sleep. Ugh she literally will not sleep anymore unless it's on me and then she jolts herself back awake every 30 minutes. Then she has developed a cold and can't breath out of her nose so she's suffering and miserable. I swear she would sleep for 20 minutes last night and be up for 40 this pattern kept up all night. I'm lucky if I got an hour total of sleep and oh course I have to drive to a court over an hour away today for a hearing. I just want to nap. I dropped her off at daycare with a note that said please drug her if you need too. I literally meant it too. If she needs any medicine give it to her. I'm hoping she's a little better when I pick her up. I tried sucking her snot last night with the nose Frieda and got nothing so I don't know what else to do. I'm hoping the clingyness is because of that and not a new phase. Maybe she's teething? I'm so hoping its something easy and it works itself out in a few days.

mamasue, Thank you. It has been an uphill battle with her since the beginning and we have tried very hard to make sure she is happy. She has some issues and definitely needs some sort of counseling. Right now though, it's best that we separate ourselves from them for our own health.
