Real bra: feels awesome to have perky boobs again Real pants: hard pass. Not fun.
My parting advice for mh: the toddler eats more than you think he does. For the baby, sleep at all costs. Wear her, swaddle her, drive them around. I don't care but she must nap. The last time I left for 8 hours she didn't sleep at all and was a hot mess.
Concerns: clocking in. I think they changed how we clock in online and get paid. I do not want to deal with that hassle for one day of subbing.
Complain to the internet that your baby is a crap nap get going on for 2 fuss free naps. The lamb skin to snuggle in might be helping but hey I'm not holding the baby either way so winning here. The eldest has a dentist appointment later and I need to get myself booked in for a check up, I don't want to
DS1 had another night of multiple wake ups. Baby, on the other hand, gave me a five hour stretch, and easily went back to sleep after both wake ups.
I'm starting to get nervous about returning to work. I'm exhausted now and I don't do anything all day. How am I going to survive work AND home responsibilities if these shitty nights keep up?

After a horrendous toddler bedtime, we all slept pretty well last night! I have mom's group this morning and will go to the gym this afternoon. I can't believe I'm at the end of my 10 week of leave. I go back two weeks from today and I am so sad.

DH got up with DS and DD and I slept until 7am. I feel somewhat rested, but also, I think I'm just used to being exhausted at this point. I really thought we were making progress, but DD was up at 11:30, 3:30 and 5.
Yesterday I failed at my diet so bad..so DD and I are off to power walk the mall with all the geriatrics before picking DS up at school at 11:30am. It's all so rushed when you add in diaper changes and nursing!
E woke up at 6 because she was hungry. I put her back to sleep and she slept until 10. I got most of my clothes for E from my sister so E is wearing a little sister onesie. It makes me happy. H has hockey so it will be a long day.

Oh. My. God.
DS1 was in bed with W and I and all of a sudden he tells me he's pooped.
This kid has been potty trained for awhile now. Sometimes he says that when he farts and realizes he needs to poop. I ask if that's the case. He says he farted and pooped.
Fantastic.
I send him to the bathroom while I get out of bed and guess what I find? A poop streak. On my bed. Apparently, my kid has diarrhea.
DH has to work tonight but no other plans. I can't really take DS anywhere until we make progress with PT or quit. He's just naked all the time right now lol. Well, pantsless, but you know what I mean.
The pedi is working on getting a pre-authorization from the insurance company for Bs reflux med. In the mean time we will start off with Zantac and see if that helps.

ellabee, I hope the Zantac works! And boo to only having a week left
H is officially done with school! Now he just needs to go to the graduation ceremony and pass his VTNE at the end of the summer. Gonna celebrate by eating lunch that doesn't contain leftovers.
peaseblossom55, we're trying to get approval for the Prevacid too. DD was on it and it worked wonders for her. Until we get the authorization from the insurance company we're trying Zantac. I'm not optimistic because I've heard from a number of people I know that it hasn't worked for their LOs.
thelittleredm, welcome to the family new bed! It's like an initiation ritual! But seriously, yuck. No one should have to deal with poo at the start of the day like that.

We finally had some potty success but only because we know he has to pee before/during lunch. So I made him sit before lunch and then we had him eat lunch on his potty chair at the table. Contrived, but I think he's starting to get it.
Meanwhile N just took a two hour nap so our odds of them both napping at the same time are pretty shot
Everyone survived! Although my inlaws did come over to help out. my principal asked about subbing three days next week. I might do one. One day is dd's two month appointment and the other depends on our plan. It was nice to see some old co-worker friends and keep my foot in the door.
Pumping was the pits though. I did not miss doing that at work.

I hope the prevacid will work and you get the approval soon.

This! Prevacid worked really well for my son. Sorry it's such an ordeal and you can just have it called in.

E has not napped all day and now she falls asleep. I keep debating on waking her or just letting her nap a little longer so I can eat my dinner in peace and warm.

Busy day! I got to go to the outlet mall by myself though! Gap outlet had some amazing deals, I got pants and shorts for $9. I also got Easter outfits for dd and R. It is friends and family for them and I have a gap card so I got everything for 50% off. If anyone wants the coupon I can forward it to you, it's good thru Monday at gap and gap outlet.
