Well, the poop happened. It was everything I thought it'd be and more. Amazingly, the cloth contained it all, but I was not adequately prepared and it still got everywhere when I was changing him 🤢🤢

carrots and silvermelody, new bras are honestly the best. I need to get on it and replace mine.
ellabee, I'm not sure whether or not we've hit the regression yet since B has only slept more than 3 hours a handful of times. I'm dreading the thought of a regression because getting up every 2-3 hours is killing me. How could it get worse?! Rhetorical question because I know it can definitely be much worse. Blah.
Well you guys have officially converted me to team coconut oil. It cleared up M's stubborn dry patches and DS's chapped cheeks. Unfortunately my H hates coconut including the smell but too bad for him.
Bs sleep has been awful for he last handful of nights.
::🙌 raising both hands::
R went from 7-8 sometimes 10 hour stretches to being up Every 2-3 hours through the night. He goes back down pretty easily and doesn't get a bottle until at least 6 but it's still killing me. I think I have to try to drop the swaddle again, its not like his sleep can get much worse.
Woof. I am not looking forward to the 4 mo sleep regression. L has been up twice the last two nights instead of once as is. And my first never recovered.
Guys, my first baby is 2 today. He seems so big and yet still so little.

This is us exactly. 7/8/9+ hr stretches have turned into up every 2-3 hrs. I'm seriously considering just going cold turkey on the swaddle too. Like you say, it's not like it could be much worse...
All our socializing this weekend has reignited my sweet tooth. Actually, since Easter. Every weekend we've had a party with yummy desserts. Sil's shower was nice, my mil throws amazing parties. She sent us home with leftovers which is the best. Today was the neighbor's christening. More yummy food and dessert. It was kind of awkward because we didn't know anyone except the hosts but I wanted to make an appearance because I want to be friends. Mh and I have really only talked to the husband because he's the one doing yard work. Hopefully now that the weather is nice she'll be out with the baby.

Yeah it can get worse apparently. My lay him down drowsy but awake baby has been crying for almost an hour. I'm not sure how long to fight him before I give in and swaddle him. I'm not sure I'm strong enough for this.

Hugs meeggaannw I have no advice and am currently battling DS1. He's been putting up one hell of a fight against bedtime. Which we started two hours ago.

I gave in after an hour and a half and swaddled him. Mh didn't agree with my decision but he can suck it because he did absolutely nothing to help. I will be reading all the things on how to wean from the swaddle before bedtime tomorrow night. ................................
ETA I'm sorry about ds1, I hope he settles for you soon. Is he in a big boy bed or still a crib? I'm so dreading moving dd out of her crib.

meeggaannw, big boy bed. I'm thinking maybe he wasn't ready for the switch and that's why bedtime and nighttime have been such issues for a while now. Good luck with swaddle weaning!

I don't know if E has regressed or not but the past several mornings, she has woken up at 6am. Saturday I got her back to sleep. She usually sleeps until at least 8am.
