Hugs to those who need it, which sounds like applies to a few of you.
R has learned how to push up to sit so the crib mattress has been lowered.
We fly to Chicago on Wednesday so the kids can see/meet my 92 year old grandpa.
We are also in the process of looking for a house. Not to compete about who has it worse with real estate bocaburger but California is so rough.
We put an offer $25K above asking for a real fixer upper (would have needed $80-100K in work) and the home went $65K above asking. I constantly feel depressed about our prospects of finding a home AND getting an offer accepted. I want to have a sense of permanence and start being able to build a community. I know it's a huge first world issue, but I've been getting very down emotionally about it.
steph, i am so sorry i have major anxiety as well and its rough. That pamflet would also tip me over the edge. I have had a few spots taken off before and all was fine. I am sure you will be too. So drs are just more cautious and remember its better off then on. Plenty of hugs to you!

I have all the feels tonight guys. DD is asleep in her crib upstairs. She's been refusing to sleep in her pack and play the past week or so. She would seriously wake up as soon as I put her down and be crazy. So she'd sleep in our bed a few nights, which I hate (anxious about all the things) plus she's a crazy sleeper and would kick me or hit DH in the face. So I put her upstairs and it worked. It's giving me all the feels to not have her asleep in our room.
Aww - it'll be okay!!
We started putting the baby to bed in her crib around 5 months and then bringing her into our room halfway through the night. I wasn't sure how we'd break that habit since I loved it and she loved being with us.
One night, she just wouldn't sleep. She wanted to play and I was losing my shit. I read somewhere that she'd sleep better in her own room (for a variety of reasons that made sense) so we left her in there. We're a week in and this kid sleeps all night like a champ.
I miss my girl but I also really missed sleep! Hang in there!!
Here's a question for those of you that SAH. Do you feel bad spending money? It's like I'm neglecting myself almost, because I feel this guilt that I shouldn't spend money if I don't make any. We are definitely savers anyway, so I'm talking about basic stuff not even big splurge purchases. Since O was born and I stopped working I am having a hard time adjusting I guess.
Yes. Always. eta not bc I don't feel like it's "my" money, just that there is always something better to spend money on. I could get myself new makeup or I could put that money in a 401k or toward a family trip or blahblahblah

Ds2 has had the same cold symptoms for the last 2 weeks with no improvement or worsening, so I brought him to the pedi. He has a bacterial infection, so we got some antibiotics. I'm slightly nervous because ds1 had a reaction to amoxicillin, so I'm hoping ds2 is okay with it.
We also got a referral for the pedi ophthalmologist due to his recurring eye infections. Any time I've taken ds2 there, it is a minimum of 2 hours start to finish (not even counting a wait time). So we have that to look forward to in a couple weeks. At least I know now to bring some sunglasses for the after affects of dilating his eyes - ds1 flipped the second we went outside after!
steph I know how you feel. When I was a little girl, I remember crying in the bathtub while on vacation once because I was so scared of it. Now I do estate planning so it's on my mind frequently. I am a Christian, but I still get nervous.
Ha, steph! I live here and get stressed by driving. Actually, I get more stressed by illegal parking. "No, I won't sit in the bus lane while you run in the store!" My husband rooooolls his eyes a lot at me.
This NFL Draft is in my backyard, by the way. Blah.

Ugh! I used to live on the Parkway and had a love/hate relationship with all activities down there. And now there's even more things. Good luck this weekend.
Ok this might be a dumb question... E has two teeth. Am I supposed to be brushing them?
I am bad at remembering to do this everyday. But DS has two teeth and the dentist gave me a baby toothbrush for him to chew on. I had a little bit of fruit flavored non fluoride toothpaste to make it taste better.
Ok this might be a dumb question... E has two teeth. Am I supposed to be brushing them?
Yes. Look for baby toothbrushes. We used baby toothpaste as well, but ds was over 1 when he got his first teeth. The kind we used did not have fluoride, although I know the recommendation on fluoride has changed very recently, so you may want to ask your pedi on that. I think we switched to regular kid toothpaste at age 2.
Ok this might be a dumb question... E has two teeth. Am I supposed to be brushing them?
Yes! I have a friend with two Littles who is a dental assistant and she drilled it into me to brush as soon as they have teeth with toothpaste that does have flouride. Just use a tiny little smear of it. I just use the same toothpaste that I use.
shehulk723 How is your H doing? And how are you doing? I was thinking about you all tonight, hoping the doctors are getting things figured out.
Oh, today has been a nightmare. The doctors said they would keep him until after he started the Humira. Then suddenly today they discharged him, like I got the text while grocery shopping and had to run to get him. His nurse was an awful human being, told him lies, was rude, etc, we'll be reporting her. He's currently in the bathroom screaming I'm trying to get him to tough it out until his Humira gets here either tomorrow or Friday and then we'll go to a different hospital if we need to.
8 month sleep regression, reflux, and/of gas is the devil right now!! My baby was sleeping so well, could put himself to sleep for naps, and back to sleep in MOTN. But past few days not so much. I'm thinking it's either his reflux and meds need to be adjusted again or a Wonder week leap. Regardless I want my sleep and happy baby back.
shehulk723 I'm so annoyed by your hospital and doctors. I just don't get it. I work in a hospital in a big city and we keep people for much longer who are up and moving but request to stay so they do.

Yeah, this is where I am. There are uncompassionate doctors and many L&D nurses seem to have lost their empathy at times. But this whole story and treatment of your husband is breaking my heart.
I honestly can't believe how awful his care has been. The hospital he was at is the biggest and best in this county. It's actually where I delivered both my girls, but that is in an entirely different building with the children's hospital and the care and facilities in that part were incredible. But if he ends up having to go back, we're going to the next county over to a hospital that was recommended to us.

We are in Disney with our boys and left M with my parents. I miss her a ton but am absolutely loving solo time with H and the boys!!!
Nanny is still working regular hours so she was with M today. Texted me to tell me she thinks it hit her I wasn't coming back so her separation anxiety has been intense today. It made me so sad:( my H packed her matching Toms and nanny put Ms on her today and sent me a pic so that made me happy. (We dress matching often:) I wore mine today today too:)
I haven't brushed Ms teeth yet but I do give her the baby banana toothbrush.
