It felt so good to get out and walk. I'm really in a funk where I really don't want to do anything during the day so hopefully nicer weather will snap me out of it.
I cannot believe that DeVos woman got confirmed. As a teacher this is quite scary. I'm not 100% sure how much real power she has but it's too much. I kind of wish I was at work today to talk it through with my colleagues.
Also, I went to Starbucks this morning and I was relaxing and enjoying a latte when the power went out! They made us all leave! I was a little annoyed.
My arms are about to fall off. I can't make either one of my kids happy today, not enough of me to go around. Alex only had 2 45 min naps so far. He's super tired and cranky. I finally got him down again and left him in his crib hoping he sleeps longer there. I gave up on a nap for Leo. Now it's surviving until 6 pm with his cranky self before I try bedtime. His fever seems better but he's coughing and has a runny nose. Trying to keep him away from Alex. And his germs away from me too.
I'm currently trying to get the baby to nap in the PNP for the first time, since we got her Nested Bean sleep sack. So far she's not crying, but kicking her legs like crazy, keeping herself wide awake. 🙄
Thankfully it looks like my car issue is just the battery.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a positioning pillow to help prevent flat heads? I just ordered the Boppy Noggin Nest, but I want to try something else too
Yes!!! Nora was stating to get a flat spot on her left side and I swear her on this pillow has made it disappear. Forewarning - it smells weird first out of the package but I just let it air out for 24 hours before using it. The smell didn't bother my husband but I didn't like it.

Fun fact: Chicago had a snowstorm in 1967 that dropped 23 in snow and the day before temps had been in the 60's.
2nd fun fact: I got caught in a snowstorm once during rush hr. I worked in the northern suburbs and lived southside chicago. What usually took 1.5 hrs became a 6.5 hr drive.
@kc295905 19 hrs! It's a good thing you weren't alone. I drove a Saturn if you know those cars. I was thankful I had gotten gas that day, peed before leaving the office and didn't get into an accident. I'm pretty sure it was the snowstorm that a plane crashed thru the Midway airport barriers.
So I feel like I read this somewhere, but do babies get cranky when working on developmental milestones? My baby rolled over for the first time today, which took her by surprise, and she's been screaming the rest of the evening. I have no idea what's going on, but that's the only change. Now I'm extra worried about our road trip. 😳

Yes, IME they do. Hopefully the crankiness passes soon!

Yes, the theory is the days or weeks before the big development can be "stormy" then they are good. I've got a book called The Wonder Weeks that goes into it. Basically the babies are like "oh shit my world is different" and get cranky. They tend to fall the same time as growth spurts too.

Thanks!! Do you use this for sleeping? Or just at other times?
We use it in the bassinet at night for naps and for nighttime sleeping, but I bring it downstairs if she's laying on her play mat or in the swing too. It's foam so it's actually already fully shaped to the shape of her head and doesn't put pressure on any side to cause a flat spot.
We bought a tortle flat head hat too but she hates it- would not recommend that at all.

I'll have to look into that book! We're hitting 8 weeks, and 6 weeks was definitely rough.

I can't remember, but I feel like I've heard that too. Yay for rolling.

Don't jinx requiressnacks...I heard there's snow coming to NE...
This new forecast is really fucking up my ski getaway. I think we are going to have to cancel.
Noooooooooo!!!! Any chance you could leave earlier to make it up there? I think you were leaving Thursday... maybe go Wednesday night? I don't think northern NH was supposed to get as much as southern NH, MA, etc.

D did ok with his shots. He screamed and then went to sleep. I felt bad that I had to leave him to take the boys to swim class. He just nursed for 5 minutes and is out COLD! I really need him to eat a little more so he's not up at midnight looking to! 😳

lola so far I like it. It's some European researchers. I also like that I can put the book away and come back to it when the next week/jump happens. I also like that they address adjusting the weeks in either direction depending on when the baby was born and other little details. I know we're just getting out of the five week one which is all sensory- she sees and hears more now.

I'm glad he did okay! Ours are on Monday and I'm dreading it.
