I was all excited that it was a long weekend but thought about it and I don't work Monday's anyways lol! But it will be nice to have Dh home another day! I'm going over to my MILs this morning (she had back surgery last week so we're going to go sit with her for a little bit) then we're headed to a friends house for a cookout- What's everyone else up too?
Ry is back to waking up every 3 hours in the night, now I'm worried maybe I'm not supplying enough that's why he isn't full and sleeping longer - is this a possibility? Any ideas on what can help with longer stretches (he was going 5-6 hrs)

I would blame the 4mo sleep regression before I would think supply issue.

I agree with @led on the regression. We dealt with that too (and still do some nights). Have you moved him out of your room? That helped us tremendously. Now, when she starts to whine, I can ignore her for a bit and see if she settles back in. If she doesn't, I know she's hungry.
Alternatively, he could be reverse cycling. DD was super distracted during the day for a couple weeks and that led to more night nursing for us.

Lo is back to eating again. This seems to be his only tell that he's going into a leap. Big loss of appetite for a few days before the start of the leap, back to normal once it begins. It's so hard not to stress even though I know he won't starve himself.
I'm sitting here cuddling DS, sipping coffee, and browsing outfits for him to wear to the SILs November wedding. I'm torn. I could get one of those onesies with a suit printed on it fairly cheap. Or I could get something he could wear to church and get more use out of lol fwps
The dress she picked for us to wear is actually fairly pretty, probably one of the prettier dresses I've worn as a bridesmaid and actually seasonally appropriate too the "worst" part is it has a slit in it and DH joked id have to tone my legs. (😡 He was joking but I told him to butt out with his comments lol)
After Saturday's night of hellacious sleep, it became clear we were in for another. So DS and I slept in the recliner to help him breath and let DH sleep. Because if I'm going to be up all night with DS, I need him to be on his game.
DHs sniffles evolved into a full on man cold, so he's still useless. And I'm extra useless, because sleeping on the couch.
Oh no k3am that sucks. I hope you all get some rest and feel better! I'm in nap jail right now. We both napped 7:30-9:30. I'm now awake and hungry but Cam is still asleep and he's holding my boob hostage 😂
Yeah he's been in his own room for 2 months now.... And is eating really well during the day. Idk why I Didn't think of sleep regression but that would make sense
An allowance?!?! I mean, I guess H and I make a budget together and set aside money for random spending, so I guess that's kind of like an allowance? Allowance sounds like something that can be withheld if you're bad. 😳
Sorry for your sicky babe k3am is his fever down at least?
DC is open today but MH has the day off so he's working with me! We're having a great day and today was the first say my toddler didn't cry at all when getting dropped off! He and baby I are both currently taking epic naps! Win!!

Yeah this lady get 100 a week but her hubby has withheld it the last few weeks because he thinks the house isn't clean enough and she wanted to know if he was being fair lol
We have a budget but not as concise of one as we should have (it's in our to do list along with getting a will lol)
DH worked all weekend but he's on his way home. He wants to do something fun as a family because he has to go OOT for work this week, but I don't know what to do. We planned to go swimming but it started raining. I was like, we can go grocery shopping and do laundry to get prepared for my week alone, that's family fun, right?
I would be pissed if DH put me on an allowance. Pissed. Like divorce pissed. I feel like I'm staying home to take care of OUR kid when I could be working and earning my own money because WE decided that's what's good for our family. Therefore, his money is OUR money. If I spent it recklessly, then I feel like we could have a discussion. I'm not his kid so I don't need an allowance. Obviously I feel strongly about this. Off my soap box I will go! Lol

Ok- DH has reined me in a bit. If she is out of control spending their money and making it so they can't reach their financial goals, an allowance might be appropriate. Some people need concrete structure I guess. Maybe in some scenarios it's appropriate. DH better not do that to me though! Haha!!

teraiin WOAH. The $100/week sounds lovely if that's what they agree on, but withholding bc the house isn't clean enough?!?!?! WTAF?! How about no.
p.s. We ❤️ Dave Ramsey for budgeting and never ever have issues knowing where our money should go and never argue about money bc we both love the plan so we always default to "what would Dave say?" Haha

Damn rain! I'm in my swimsuit and it started pouring... Hopefully it stops ASAP.

As far as an allowance goes, MH has no self control when it comes to money so he has one. It's part of our budget- each of us gets $X of spending money each month, then we have $X of joint spending that we use for things like eating out, etc. But neither one of us would withhold that money because the other wasn't keeping up with chores. That's a whole other conversation and def should not be tied to money.

We have a similar system. It's part of our budget, not a reward for doing our chores.
Fever is down. He's still happy, but he's still super congested and not sleeping well.
We were supposed to go see or good friends (and DDs bestie) but they have a BRAND new baby, so it's off the table. DD is really sad. (We kept our plans yesterday and gave them the heads up we were sick.. But they're daycare people too, so they weren't concerned)

Agree. We have spending money for both of us as part of the budget but it's not tied to performance at chores. That's crap.
We drove up "home" the small town where I am from for the Sesquicentennial celebration and parade. It was fun but hot and now I have a massive headache on the ride home.

Had fun shopping with my friend and I didn't spend too much money. Printed out some photos and grabbed a couple things for the baby.
He's been awfully fussy today. he doesn't seem to be peeing as much as usual but he is having enough wet diapers so I'm not going to worry unless it becomes a issue
Ridley got sooooo over overstimulated this afternoon. Luckily she cried herself to sleep on the way home so she was calm enough to eat as soon as we were home. She's napping/eating now and I hope it's a long one because she needs it pretty badly.
