. that's scary! One time, years ago, not only did H leave the garage open, he left it open with the light on and the door to the house unlocked. I didn't find it until the next morning. Fortunately no one decided to go shopping in our garage or house!
A only had one MOTN wake up! She went to bed around 930, woke up at 130 and ate a ton, then just woke up now. I'm nursing her and hoping she will go back down for another hour. Fx!
. yikes! That sounds like it'd probably wake you up! Glad nothing bad came of it though. M is up at 2:30 over here and lately he's been sleeping until 4/4:30. I definitely like that better than 2:30. I think he woke up due to a combination of gas and being too hot (since yesterday was finally a warm day here and our house really holds the heat). Wishing now I'd gone to bed before 11 but I was waiting for DH to get home from his work trip! At least he'll take the early morning wake up.

My H once left the keys in the lock on the garage door overnight. Our house key was on the set of keys too. He definitely snuck out early morning when he remembered and luckily the keys were still right where he'd left them.
Ugh, I'm exhausted. I had a school function last night and I had to work late, so our niece came over to babysit. (SIL is a lot older than H, and had kids young so our niece is 27.) I got home around 9, and C was sleeping. Niece and I starting talking, and then all the sudden it was 11:30. C started to stir, so niece left, and I feed C. By the time I fed him, got him down, took care of getting ready for bed myself and going to bed, it was 1 am. I was hoping C would give me one of his longer stretches, but I wasn't so lucky. It's 5:30 and I have a feeling I'm up for the day. I'm hoping he takes a good nap sometime today!!
I think DD was just messing with me by sleeping so long from Thursday to Sunday. We're back to at least 2 wakeups a night. Its just cruel to remind me what sleeping for 7-8 hours in a row feels like and then snatch it away.
Today we're going to get her birth certificate and then my dad is coming to visit. I'm hoping to put him to work hanging the blackout curtains in our room. The cordless drill is charging, and I just need to tidy our room a bit.
moutonrouge, I was just throwing myself a pity party to H last night whining "I want to sleep through the night again...". Someday! Babies do eventually become kids, then teenagers, that sleep through the night (& don't want to wake up in the morning)!

DD fell asleep late (11pm) and woke up at 2am, which is early in the motn for her. She then went on to seriously stir at 5:45am. I was very fml, no sleep tonight, but then she miraculously conked back out and slept until 7:30am. Thank goodness.

Night one of DD in her room didn't result in more sleep for me. She woke up at her normal times but she did sleep an hour longer the first stretch. DH for some reason thought bringing DS into our room when he woke up at midnight was a good idea. He proceeded to lay on me and touch my head and face for nearly an hour before DH got the hint that I was annoyed. I only bring DS to our bed when DH is at work so it's not like he was doing a normal thing.
Going to be a rough day. DS didn't sleep after the first 1:30am wake up. He didn't nap much the day before so I don't know why he is refusing to sleep!? His reflux was bad though after the feeding so I think that's the problem.
We've been waiting a month to see the pediatian for his reflux. I hate the medical wait times in Canada. It's really frustrating. I get that it's not a serious thing but my baby is suffering and constantly throwing up when he is on his back. May 19th, at least we are in May now.
I've been creative in some BFing position to keep him elevated. Seems to get him to latch longer. He likes side laying in the morning too.
This afternoon is my 6 week check. What can I expect?
Check that your healed- and be prepared for a pap smear. I wasn't expecting that. They will talk to you about ppd and just see how your doing. And that's your chance to ask any questions.

We are taking DS to his first movie today. We are going go see Boss Baby and MIL will watch DD. I think he could use some attention from us without DD for a bit. Tomorrow will be spent cuddling DD since it's my last day of leave. 8 weeks has gone by so f'ing fast.
. that totally would have scared me! Also, the 6 week was pretty chill. No pap for me. She really just took a quick look- nothing internal, gave me a gift for the babe and sent me on my way.
mikaela20 a month?? I know nothing about healthcare in Canada, but that would really frustrate me.
It's so frustrating .. I asked them why the long wait and they just said that's the first available appt! If I knew it would be a long wait I would have pushed his doctor to send the referral sooner. Instead I was trying his methods of managing ds' reflux first. It is clearly getting worse, so the doctor finally sent in the referral a couple weeks ago.
I barley have time to change him on the change table before a bout of spit up/throw up happens. I try to elevate his upper half on the table but it's not enough I guess.

I'm no doctor, but is there anyone you could talk to on the phone about a safe Zantac dose. Try it and see if it helps before the appointment? I don't think it could hurt.
I managed to get an extra 45 minutes with a pacifier insertion. Wahoooo!
We have had the heat off in the house for a while now and damn it is cold in here this morning!
No plans for the day other than general house cleaning. My parents are coming Saturday so I imagine tomorrow I will be a bit crazier making sure the house it up to her standards. Boo.
2nd cup of coffee is looking probable and I am staying cozy with my babies and my bathrobe.
I keep saying I'm done with the heat but it was 45 out this morning and 2 windows in the house were wide open.
glb30 it sounds like money or time would come with strings. I don't take help or gifts with strings attached. "Thanks but no thanks, mom. I don't need your influence in my parenting or finances."

That's a good idea! I'm going to see if I can find it at the pharmacy and see what they say.
kristhegirl Exactly. There is always something attached. We're def not accepting anything either. I was feeding the baby, so this was all on speaker and my husband heard most of the convo.
glb30 ~hugs~ kids don't need money, they need loving parents. You're doing amazing and your judgemental mother can keep her unreasonable expectations for finances to herself .

glb30 I'm sorry your mom isn't supportive. She should be nothing but proud. You seem like a successful and intelligent woman who is already an amazing mom.
