F loves his book that has a bunch of babies in it, so I am trying to entertain him right now and decided to show him the HDBD thread. This was his reaction throughout the whole thing: (bad quality photo but you get the idea)
I set everything up to do the paint marker mugs with A. And the pens I bought contain xylene and say to keep away from children. They say it on the pens themselves and it was not visible on until I opened them up. Nevermind that it's $14 of wasted money, I'm so so bummed I don't have enough time to get the mugs done for Father's Day.
I should have planned better, but we rarely have time where DH is out of the house so this was my first opportunity.
Also, my dog woke M from her nap after only 45 minutes. Bleh.
DH ran out to the gun shop and, of course, that's when someone wants to come see the house. So me, the dog (who hates the car), and my overtired child (currently crying) are all sitting in the car since it's too hot to go for a walk or anything.
And now I'm about to get questioned by a cop because I'm sitting in the lot of the elementary school. lol

Saw a used car seat on our local yard sale Facebook page and made a polite comment about how car seats expire and that it's not recommended for people to buy used anyway with a link to a CSFTL article and got my ass chewed out by the seller.
Whatevs, lady. Hopefully someone will see it and think twice even if the OP is a dumbass.
tngrl3 that would be so hard to see and deliver the news to parents. Sorry it was such a rough day.
F's tear duct is still closed and is almost constantly infected, so the pedi referred us to an eye doctor to do the probing. Since it is before 1 year, it can be done in office but after a year they have to be under anesthesia. The first appointment is over a month away, so in the meantime we are doing Cipro drops daily. I hate doing antibiotics today but otherwise he's my little goopy pirate with one eye glued shut.
About to go pick up MH after he's been doing Ragnar Relay for the last 36 hours. F has been an absolute dream while he's been gone, slept in and everything!
Sorry you are still dealing with this and I hope the Cipro helps. S's eye just started getting better a few weeks ago, phew.
Just so I didn't miss more pregnancy announcements, it is only sandj918 and Madso at the time, right?
Jacob slept until 7:30 am today. Holy cow. He woke up at 6am, and I was like, heck no. So I let him fuss and he eventually figured it out. Woohoo! I've been starting to just let him fuss and fall back to sleep himself, and it has been working 90% of the time.
Today we are going to a Father's Day dinner with my parents. For Mother's Day, we paid and it turned out my Mom didn't even get me a card, so I told DH to leave the credit cards at home.
Edited to add: Jacob had a tooth pop through today. I thought he might be teething, but had no idea one was so close to the surface.
Also quoting myself b/c I hope I didn't come off sounding like an a$$. My parents always invite us out, we always pay. When they invited us out for Mother's Day, I thought we were celebrating my Mom and me. When my Mom didn't even say anything to me, it really hurt. I figured Father's Day would be the same exact thing. Which it was.
Mr. P refused his second nap for over an hour so I said F it and he will get a ridiculously early bed time. I don't know what to do sleep wise anymore, I lay him down and walk out and he gets up to play then eventually gets upset. I rock him until he's drowsy then lay him down and he gets up to play or upset. Such an exhausting battle right now. He was so freaking good about sleep and getting himself to sleep that I don't know what the F happened.
Can't wait for our party and all the wine.
I'm so sorry Mr. P is regressing with his sleep. We got into a habit of rocking Jacob to sleep for naps and bedtime. When he started fighting me with naps and waking MOTN, my anxiety ramped up. He's gotten much better since I changed his nap/bedtime routine. I hope things improve for you soon.
Oh thank God, she's sleeping! She's been constantly up and crying and I finally grabbed Tylenol, fresh diaper, and fresh sleep sack. After milk and nearly asleep, I put her down, and she promptly wedged herself 90-degrees into the corner, on top of her lovey, and just stared into space.
Her glowy eyes have finally closed and she's butt up. Now I'm starving and gonna snack. Please sleep in, child!
Stay down, baby! You're exhausted, I'm exhausted, and we have another big day today. I'm sorry your dad put his wants above your needs and royally effed up your bedtime since he could use father's day as an excuse to not deal with night crap. But please sleep anyway?
I'm pissed that H and FIL took A for a golf cart ride. I said no, but they did it anyway and even argued about sunblock. My MIL even overrode me. When they came back they joked about almost going in the ditch. Not funny.
Today is day #3 of diarrhea and vomiting for LO. He's been refusing about 50% of his bottles and has been only semi interested in his solids, so I know he's feeling bad because this boy loves his solids. His wet diaper output still seems okay, he is still acting fine, and hadn't had a fever. I'm pretty sure whatever he has is contagious because my mom babysat on Friday and now she has the same symptoms. Is Gatorade pretty much the same as Pedialyte? I'm trying to figure out what to give him to make sure he is staying hydrated since he isn't taking all his bottles and he's refusing water unless I give it to him with a syringe.
After an afternoon by the pool with no afternoon naps bedtime went down right at 7:30. Too bad Val was up around 5. We are letting H sleep in & I have cooked everything but the eggs for breakfast burritos this morning. My mom will be over shortly, Val should be napping soon & H wants to take DS to the go-karts this morning after breakfast. Then our plans are poolside, cooking on the grill & frozen drinks. It is Sunday frozen fun day & we celebrate that for my dad.
Going to be 90 today so hope DH is down for a pool day. I have a roast in the slow cooker that really is looking good. His favorite meal is meat and potatoes and Yorkshire pudding with lots of gravy so he's pretty easy to please. H and DS are playing with the new Lego dimensions game for PS4 that I got him for Fathers Day. Seems like a hit.

caitost21, for bedtime we've started putting him to bed a little earlier. DH does the bedtime routine only, we used to switch it up. DH still rocks him to sleep which works for him. For naps, I rock him for a little and then put him into the crib awake. I don't do any checks unless he is crying (he only did this once). For MOTN, if we hear him, we'll check the monitor to see if he has his binkie. If he does, we don't go in. If he lost it, we'll pop it back in and then leave, no back rubs.
I'm currently hiding behind my bed, hoping LO puts himself down for a nap. I think we'll be joining the CIO train soon.
I'm not sure when DH will start his new job but it's going to affect my birthday party planning. How far in advance do you think is too far in advance to have the party?i Would it be weird to have it three weeks before?
C went down at 5:30 last night which means she was up for the day at 5am. Oy. We're heading to my folks house along with my brothers, their families and my ILs for a big Father's Day get together. Should be fun.

Hi life twin. Elle took an hour to fall asleep for her first nap today and only slept for 30 minutes. I spent 20 minutes going in and laying her down, then she spent 40 rolling around, talking to herself, and whine crying on occasion. I'm taking her to the pool to tire her out a little more.

Holy shit this is me right now. I'm reading the book and following the nap routine. 70 min of sitting in the room? Am I reading this right? I can probe while I'm in here right?
You don't have to all the time. Some babies need you there to help soothe them the first few days. Some (like mine) do better left alone. I pretty much only go bother her if she stands up. It depends on Ramona and whether she gets calmed by your presence or riled up that you put her down and won't pick her up.

If three weeks in advance is what works for your family, do it. LO won't know the difference and any judgy Aunt Brendas can fuck off.
We had ds1's first bday two weeks late because we had just moved. Nobody cared.

Probably but just a little and at the end of the day I'd get over/forget it because you need to do what works for you. Come to think of it, Raf is going to a first birthday next week and I'm pretty sure it's at least 2 weeks early, didn't even cross my mind til just now.
ETA: I meant for this to sounds more supportive than it may have come across. My point was it shouldn't be more than just a passing thought for anyone and if it is, they can go f off because they're not the ones dealing with what's going on in your life right now.

Yes - we learned VERY quickly that our presence only wound Ash up more. We have to leave the room.

We don't even go in if he's standing. We wait until he's upset for more then five minutes. He stands before he goes to sleep most nights.

Had pretty much my shittiest parenting moment today. We were at my aunts swimming and I took Freya up to put her down for a nap. I had her in her sleepsa k sitting on the bed. I untied my bathing suit top and she crawled head forward off the bed. She's got quite the bruise but otherwise seems ok. . MOTY.
