PT update: Hasn't peed since naptime but did poop on the floor. This reminds me a lot of housebreaking a dog.
You/ he can do it! The first couple days are definitely stressful but keep with it. Don't go back to dipes and be prepared to throw out a few pairs of poopy underwear (unless you have outdoor space and can hit them with the hose because that is the only way to clean them without wanting to vomit).
And my mom called yesterday and it's time to put our family dog to sleep. I am really sad about it since we got him when I was still at home and we are buddies. He has been a part of our family for 13 years.
I'm so sorry about your dog 😔 That's always such a tough decision to have to make!
Ugh, so when I was little I saved my sister from drowning. Like legit save. She was 3 I was 8. It was FUCKING SCARY and I still cry when I think of it.
Well, today we went to a pool party and DS1 was LOVING walking around the 1ft part of the pool/splash area and he fell over and was "under" for about 3 seconds until we got to him. Maybe not even 3 but felt like a long time. We were 3ft away from him. He's TOTALLY fine, scared, but fine. But given the crib tumble, the falling down the stairs at daycare, and now this, I am feeling like MOTY here and I can't shake it off on the whole water thing. He is legit 100% fine although it took him a while to want to go in the water again and he was really scared right after it happened. We tried not to play it up. We told him when we fall down we get up and try again...but ugh. THAT WAS NOT COOL.
Ok...need to get over this. He is 100% fine. Maybe 99% since he's super scared of the pool now, but he will get over in time. But yeah...I need to be ok now!!
So scary and so glad he's okay!
We live very close to a canal and beyond that a river and I really wanted to have him do infant swimming resource which I guess is kind of controversial. There wasn't one that close to us so we've just gone the traditional swim lessons route but I wish we had done ISR.
Ry isn't feeling as warm now... He just ate but since yesterday morning everytime he's eaten he has thrown up so fx'ed he keeps it down! I'm glad he's still wanting to nurse though and his nose isn't as stuffed .... sick babies are the worst! Man this has been hard!
I hope he's doing much better now! It's so hard to see them sick

I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that! But I'm glad that everyone is ok. You did a great job mama. Don't beat yourself up ETA words
We had an electrical fire at the hospital today.. But not on my floor or wing. Apparently a patient like overloaded an outlet and it caused a bunch of smoke damage so I got called in to help since patients got shifted all over! :/ We stayed up late last night and I'm sooo sleepy this morning. Ugh. I'm also just pumping for the first time. :/ I need coffee.
I hope your day got better! And maybe you'll be able to get some sleep tonight. Fingers crossed for you!

Oh we did ISR!!!! But DS HATED IT SO MUCH it was affecting our ability to have him take a bath at home. Or shower. So we put a hold on it a year ago. We started it too late. We are thinking we will do swim lessons with DS2 starting at 4-5mo! But I think I'll go the traditional route this time.

He's been sleeping a ton and has a 99.9 fever I'm just keeping an eye on it and using the nose Freda like crazy ... Colds can't last too long can they 😖 I'm so exhausted and feel like I've gotten nothing done today
Tomorrow is a bridal shower for a cousin. Do you guys think cute coveralls are "dressy" enough for DS or should I put him in "church" clothes? It's a "breakfast at tiffanys" themed brunch at a restaurant.

I actually only know like 2 people that have done ISR so I have very little basis for wanting to don't other than my concern over our proximity to water. We started traditional lesson at the Y at 9 months and didn't have the best experience. We joined a pool last summer and DS loved it! Since then, we've done regular swim lessons through our gym but with an instructor who is a special education teacher during the week and she is amazing! DS can swim a little independently and can always get his feet back under him if he takes a tumble in shallow water. I was beating myself up over not driving like 45 minutes each way to do ISR so thanks for your input!

He will be cute in anything... I'd go coveralls for comfort.
We went to a meet up of our baby class and their babies today. It was so cute and just great to get together and talk with people in vey similar stages of life.

No one cares. He'll be cute I'm anything you put him in, so I'd aim for whatever makes for easy diaper changes that you think is cute.

MH is watching L and told me to nap. I am sooo exhausted. This last week with L has been hard. And MH hasn't been able to help much because it was a busy work week for him.
I'm so frustrated by how long it takes me to fall asleep! Even when I'm exhausted. I feel like I have anxiety related insomnia. Like I keep thinking I hear her crying and then I can't sleep. I have the chance to sleep right now....why can't I sleep?! Anyone else experience this? Anything you've tried that has helped you get to sleep more easily?
Uterine fibroids (removed by robotic myomectomy 11/14) and past removal of L ovary/tube d/t ovarian torsion (4/99). New diagnosis of endometriosis (5/15)
2 pees on the floor 1 poop on the floor 1 pee in the nap diaper 1 pee in the bathtub 3 pairs of soiled shorts 0 successful potty trips
Day 1 is supposed to be about teaching them to recognize the cause and effect relationships, so it's not a total loss. I'm glad I bought the gallon size bottle of Nature's Miracle though.

I swear "Oh Crap: Potty Training" is really helpful if you haven't read it yet. It's definitely not a loss at all! He will get it as long as you (and your SO) are serious about it and consistent!
That's what we are basing our approach on jbeans27, but it will be a little more drawn out due to work and daycare. They will take him to the potty about once an hour but they require training pants until he's really got it. I hope they are different enough from diapers to keep him on track.

We also followed it loosely but still had success. Our daycare is okay with helping more than most but I still didn't feel comfortable with sending him commando so we went to underwear under clothes after 5 days and he was still totally okay. How is he with pulling his pants up/ down - that was (and still is) so tricky for them! It didn't occur to me that we should try working on those kind of skills before PT!
Omg so sad. A friend just had a still born at 31 weeks. They had a stillborn last year at 26 weeks. Life is just not fair. I'm so heartbroken for them.

Have you tried benadryl? It works for a lot of people to help them fall asleep.

It makes me way too groggy When I've taken it for allergies, I felt hungover the next day. Wish I could just pop a Benadryl and get a good night sleep!

Maybe a half dose would help you sleep without being groggy?

How sad! I'm heartbroken for them. So many prayers.

It may be worth mentioning to your OB. I had a friend who struggled with this and she got a prescription of something that helped.
