This group is hardcore about following the aap's safe sleep guidelines. They have zero flexibility when it comes to that. So the aap doesn't actually say anything about them and their guidelines end at 1 year so this is where they are getting a year from. I'm pretty sure ds1 had his at 6 months though.
I realize H works full time and is tired when he gets home but I wish he'd help out a little more with the baby. Today held him like once and didn't change any diapers.
Between not getting a break and DS being on a rocking/cuddle strike I feel like I need a break.

Understandable. If it's anything like the car seats for littlest fb group it's a beat practice group so will always go with the more conservative approach. Until DS shows an interest in loveys I guess I don't need to really think about it...

That is no excuse. You are also working full time and tired. He needs to pitch in. That would not fly at my house.

Well, there are still things that I need to work on with my nanny but one awesome thing that she did today was put DS2 down for a nap with very little fussing. I guess they used to rock a ton of babies to sleep at the daycare so she is a pro. I was trying to nap but couldn't sleep until he was down so I was listening and she did an amazing job.

That's what I ended up telling him. I also told him I don't want to hear him cry about not being able to soothe DS. It's not like I was born with the knowledge of how to comfort him, I needed to spend time with him and learn.

I'm glad that she was able to do that! Seemed like a good skill to have. I know I wish I had it haha
Back to work today. DS1 sent me off to work with a huge hug and "his plan" that I will pick him up and take him to the park this afternoon. This was MUCH better than what I was expecting. It's the first day in 4 months that he doesn't leave the house before me, instead he sent me off! I was expecting tears. My little boy is all grown up.
DH and I talked a bit more seriously last night about how we are likely not going to have a 3rd baby. Naturally or through adoption. It's odd. I don't feel complete but I don't want a 3rd. It's such an odd feeling. Of course it's early to think of such things, but I am just done in so many ways. I wonder how I will feel in a year.
Monday: I'm at work. Anxiously waiting to see if Joint Commission will show up today or anytime this week.
Also, I still need breakfast.
Our M14 boys are the sweetest aren't they? I can't get enough of DS most of the time (and other time he drives me crazy). His latest has been saying "oh that was wonderful" after anything he enjoys. The best!
Anyone ever transitioned out of a Merlin? How/when/why did you do it?
I was chatting with wanderlust about it today and am curious!
We did with DS and I remember it being a bit rough at first... We did it because he was starting to try to roll in it. We tried going to a sleep sack which he hated and ended up just going with warm pjs and he became a tummy sleeper. He actually still is... Legs curled under him, bum in the air - so cute!
So one of my 2nd graders coming in this afternoon looked a little down, so I asked her what was wrong. She initially shrugged it off, but after pressing a little bit come to find out some kids at recess told her if Trump became president she would have to move back where she came from (she's black but I can't remember exactly where her family moved here from). She looked really worried and said she didn't want to leave her friends here.
It breaks my heart to even have to address this. 😞

If you see your LO tossing and turning, fussing a bit in her crib...do you go in? She's not crying ...but also not sleeping! I'm always unsure whether it's best if I go in or let her be. She's moving around a LOT but not even whining really. Just fussing a bit and talking to herself. Augh - go to sleep!!

OK she ended up crying so I had to go in and get her. Tried nursing...then took her to my room and changed her diaper. Now she's wide awake and babbling at 1 am. Why??

I blame the four month sleep regression. A has always been a unicorn sleeper but lately she is having trouble with getting back to sleep after MOTN wake ups. They are developing more adult like sleep cycles. On the other side of this transition they usually sleep better.
