So I have a question. The new recommendations for swaddlers is to stop using them when baby can roll from back to belly. This is only when they can do it on purpose right? Because Evie kicks her legs and rolls herself over in the swaddler a lot but she doesn't do it purposely.
Ehhh, I would probably stop using it if she did it more than a few times. It's not really a matter of that she can do it purposefully, but that it happens.
I am team swaddlers for life, so it hurts my heart to think of stopping to young. It's the only way DS wound sleep for the first three months of his life.
housecarder I know believe me, DS had all the sleep issues until recently. He was about 2 before he STTN consistently. I would be holding on to the swaddle for as long as possible, but rolling in it would be a deal breaker for me.
FFTC: I let DS sleep on his belly waaaay before recommended because it was the only way to get a good stretch of the night.

housecarder I am also team Swaddlers because they helped so much with L's sleep but I agree that I would probably stop if she has rolled over on accident more than a few times.

It took forever to get out of my OBs office. They did the GBS test and checked my cervix. I am only 1/2-1 cm dilated and 80% effaced. OB wants to schedule my induction either the 25th or 26th of July, they will call me when they confirm dates with the hospital.
tootsie that's frustrating, I hope your H is able to get it done quickly. I bet it will be nice once it's done, though! But I hear you on it eating up weekend family time, when DH was working on our patio I went and did all sorts of fun stuff with DS to keep him out of the way, but I wished that DH was doing fun stuff with us too. Worst case could you hire someone to finish it?
lostinfaith225 I'm sorry you are having a rough day! And that especially sucks about the water, I hope you didn't drink any!
It will be great when it's done, and yes, we will be hiring out parts of it, like running plumbing and tile install. H promised me family time, so he better follow through . Sorry you can relate, there are definitely pros and cons to handy husbands.
housecarder - I'd take her out of swaddles until she can roll back on purpose. That way if she rolled over and couldn't breathe or something she could roll herself back.
beebe918 yeah that's what he meant. He was content with or two step sons but willing to have another. I was having a hard time with jumping on and off the TTC for finances, so he finally said "screw it, it probably won't happen right away anyway" but then it did. Definitely a low blow.
My parents should be able to come over to help with grass, yard work etc for now.
We came up with a pseudo plan.
Luckily, my board will pay me out for the entire summer tomorrow. It's not as much as we're used to because I've been on sick leave, but I think we can make it through and save the EI I'll get in August to help us get through September and October. Then I'll get my top up to help dig us out of overdraft if need be.
DH will take the remainder of the year of parental, and my mom will babysit May and June until I'm on summer holidays again.
I know even this is more than many women in the states get, and I should be grateful, but it still sucks. At least I'll be going back to a new school and not the one I was miserable at.
housecarder, Can she roll in a swaddled? If it's just a fluke that she's rolling not in a swaddled I'd probably let her continue to use a swaddled. I feel like a two week old would have to be magic to roll in a swaddler. That said when Jack started rolling we switched to zippadee zips and they were lifesavers for us.
housecarder have you ever used a woombie? There are snaps for the arms so you can swaddle arms in or arms out. Since you've got a roller on your hands, I would swaddle arms out so she can use her arms if needed.

She puts her legs straight up in the air together and then throws them to the sides so even swaddled she gets on her side or stomach. Finn does it too but not in the swaddler because she gets super relaxed and just curls up.

littlesthobo we have the Velcro swaddlers. I can swaddle with her arms out but she is still having her startle reflex which wakes her up if unswaddled.

Oh! They have a future in acrobatics! Maybe cirque de solel? Or however you spell it.

How about a Zippity Zip? We used the woombie with ds but when he rolled we switched to the Zippity for a while and then eventually to no swaddle. It made the transition manageable.
Fffc: my kid is 13 months old and still sleeps in a zippadee, he loves it, like legit claps when I put him in it so I'm not sure we'll be getting rid of it anytime soon.

I LOVE the zippadee. DS used it for the longest time until we transitioned to the flying squirrel. He loves wearing them. He is a crazy sleeper and won't use a blanket so I love it even more that it is a really comfortable extra layer in the winter and all we use in the summer.
TP to our energy company. Stop boosting our damn thermostat to 80! I can't sleep or function well with it being that high right now.
Ugh, that sucks! How do they have access to your thermostat?
Our energy company was on everyone to cut back and conserve, and because so many people did, now they're raising their rates because they're losing money.

Here you can sign up for a special thermostat that can try and help you save money. We can always over ride it unless the internet is down! lol If I fell asleep at a normal time I wouldn't notice but I don't.
