DH says when he got E up from her nap today she was on all fours in her crib. I told him I don't believe him lol. Times like this I wish we had a video monitor.

Man, this week started out really rough for most of you! Hoping illnesses get better (and kitties can be comfortable, if not better), packing goes more easily than expected, nannies get their acts together, and sleepy times are regained. Sending good thoughts out to you all.

Naps are getting way better but nighttime sleep is getting much worse. Last night I think we were up every 1-2 hours? She won't even sleep well cosleeping anymore. Maybe AF is due for a visit?
Naps aren't getting better and nighttime is just a bad, maybe worse here. Bed sharing doesn't help (never really has). I can't blame AF, we aren't breastfeeding. I'm gonna blame teeth right now because I need something to blame.

This sounds like my life. We are going to start trying to transition to his crib tonight because I can't deal with sleeping next to a thrashing barnacle. I have also wondered if AF is going to come soon. Hopefully things get better soon for both of us!
I can't get her to sleep in her crib anymore, even though she used to even just 2 weeks ago. She keeps waking herself by hitting her head. I'm going to put her in the PNP in her room once this wakeup is finished....

Wonder week 5?
Maybe. I wish I knew what it said! Nevermind, found it. Yup leap 5! Is this supposed to go by his actual age or do I adjust it, he was born at 37 weeks?

So I posted this last night, then chickened out and deleted it. I'm posting it again but might do the same; I just feel very self-conscious about it.
Is the general consensus that it's okay to post a PPD/PPA Support thread, sans trigger warnings, in the private board? It should NOT be used for what are considered medical emergencies, but kind of like a support group?
On one hand I would be so grateful for a place to put my thoughts once in a while, but I don't want to be an AW. On the other hand, I don't want anyone else going through this to feel exposed by contributing.
I know there's a board for mental health issues, but it's not super active and I'm just not comfortable posting there. I don't *think* I'm the only one here, but again, I'm not pleading for other people to contribute or out themselves in this thread. But at the same time don't want to AW...

Ugh serious conversations going on. Do I want to not work or do we want to try a different nanny or just ride this out and see if it's a rough patch.
You work from home right? I would try another. It can be difficult to find the right fit for your family.
Yes. I wfh 3 days a week. Personally, I like the nanny and she is super flexible, which I really like (we take the hours day by day, it's not a need to have but it's nice to have), but I think I know it's not working out I just don't really want to deal with finding someone else, when they also might not work out. LO is very much a Mama's girl. The other part is the mental adjustment, I never really saw myself working after I had kids and I'm having a hard time coming to terms with that. If it were any other job I wouldn't have come back. But they are so flexible, I like it and I make good money, even at 3 days a week, it's so hard to walk away from.
t minus 4 days until we move. I'm so done. I'm so ready to have my evenings sorta back and my mental state to be better. If I'm just love titting and posting in random ass threads you know why.
I am pretty much a professional packer/mover. I have moved so many times! Though I have it down to a science, I feel for you. I can't imagine moving with a baby! Good luck!
Wanna come pack for me? I hate packing, but I don't mind unpacking. We've moved 7 times in 8 years so it's like old hat, but so much harder with a non mobile but wanting to be mobile infant who is on ww 5. Did I mention how much I HATE ww5?

Why is it 4 degrees at my desk. I know its 80 outside, so the air is important but seriously... I can see the breeze blowing the paper on my desk. Ridiculous

This is my work every day. It's set to come on when it's 74 degrees inside, but there's no way that's correct. We keep it lower at home and I don't freeze there. I wear a sweatshirt to work every day even when it's 90 out. They never adjust it until it's time to turn the heat on so even days when it's 75 out, they a/c still kicks on. Such a waste of money!!!

I went out to Target to get DS2 some birthday presents. He's turning 4 next week. K was grumpy there and at Kohl's, which I tried to go to after Target. I couldn't get through the store at all. Even holding her she was fussy and she refused to eat in the car before I went in. So I left and we went to the Carter's store to pick up my online order. She napped on the way there and woke up as soon as I opened her door. We came home and nursed, now hopefully she is sleeping for several hours...
Tldr; my daughter hates shopping and was a grumpy, whiny lady.

Hello ladies! We made it to Wednesday, which is equal parts awesome and not. DH leaves for a work trip out of state tomorrow, and won't be back until Sunday night. Single mom life, here I come.
Completely unrelated, was there anyone here that had a club foot diagnosis after the AS (either this pregnancy or previously)? A co-worker/friend of mine just found out this morning that her LO may have club feet and is looking for support/resources/info.
Also I saw a woman in Jo Ann's fabric pitch a fit bc she couldn't return 1 fake flower that was approximately $3 bc it was purchased more than 90 days ago and store was no longer carrying that flower.

Can you direct her to the Special Needs board? They are really great about helping with that sort of thing.
I feel like I have too many plates spinning this week and I'm one step away from them all falling.
Sending all the hugs your way. I have felt this way most days since #2 was born. On days I am overwhelmed I just let everything else slide and I focus on taking my kids to the park and having fun with them. I know that's not always possible but take 5 minutes to yourself to relax and do something you enjoy today, you deserve it.

Hugs, lady. Deep breaths, you've got this. I've been feeling that way since school started, and I'm hoping it gets better soon. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help.
