Hi everyone. I am starting to have trouble with B's bedtime. She just doesnt want to be alone in her room. Every night she asks for someone to lay with her. If we leave her, she gets up 73639 times and whines and pouts about being alone. I dont know what to do with her. This went on all last week which resulted in me or mh laying w her until she fell asleep. That's not sustainable.
yummeecookee we are having the issues where M wake up motn and wants me to sleep with her the rest of the night. It's getting better but m still doing it 3-5 nights a week. It's hard to put down the hammer motn when I'm too tired.
I'm at Panera eating and killing time until costco opens. I am low carb now but I just failed and ate the break on my bf sandwich. It was soooo good. Ugh. But I've been really good so I'm not going to beat myself up for 1 slip up.
Millie has an appointment today at 3. I'm worried she has a uti. Other then that I just have work and laundry to finish up. 5 lads yesterday, two more to go!
I'm questioning if I will ever feel rested again. J learned today why we don't stand in a stroller. He flipped it and scraped his armpit on the metal edge of a bench. Looked pretty painful.
N had a diaper leak overnight. Her first, which makes me think the 6 oz of formula she drank in addition to nursing shows she has been starving. Poor girl needs to cry if she's hungry, she's legit the happiest baby, so I can't tell if she's hungry.
And a Neurologist appt for my mom this afternoon..hoping he has good news but pretty sure he will say we just have to keep being patient. Why didn't she just break her leg or something, ugh.
Last night was A Perfect Circle concert. It was probably the closest I'll ever come to a religious experience. Amazing.
We were at TGI Friday's for lunch beforehand and I looked over at Atticus and saw his testicles. Like he's just standing there next to me at the table and decided to take down his pants and underwear because...? Mortifying.
Sorry about Z. snoopmommymom I hope she is feeling better this morning. When are you headed home? I hope you all get good news at the appointment today. tallblonde
Sorry about your friend's loss, @sing2phins. I'm sure it was helpful to hear from you, even though it doesn't feel like you were able to do much she'll be glad to know you're thinking about her and their baby.

Morning!
We're on the road headed home. Yesterday was fun and exhausting. M had so much fun with his cousins.
After the party, I went to see my other Grandmother and that was a bit tough. I saw her just two months ago and everything was fine. She was really excited about 2.0. Yesterday, she was struggling to find her thoughts and words. A little confused, too. This weekend, I found out that she had an episode where she didn't sleep for 40 hours and the longer she was awake, the worse her mental state was. My dad didn't tell me at the time because it freaked them all out and I guess I'm a delicate snowflake when it comes to her. We've always been close. I wish we lived closer so I could visit her a lot more.
tgrimes1980 that tiny baby can't be 6 months already!
yummeecookee that is H's bedtime schtick. We broke her of it for a long time but then after we switched her to the toddler bed it went back to being an issue. DH is the one that lays with her now so it's not my problem anymore. I keep telling him not to do it but he doesn't listen.
H and I have coughs. They are productive and I hope done soon. My niece had croup and has been around us a lot this weekend so hopefully that's not what's coming. None of my kids have ever had it and I have no idea if it's contagious. It's supposed to be a beautiful day again today with chances of thunder storms later.
yummeecookee can you do a timer? C wants us to lay too but we say ok for five minutes. I usually pretend to get up at four and he says "one more minute" and I lay down for another and he thinks he won. Then I tuck him in and give him a stuffed animal to snuggle. Sometimes he complains and sometimes we have to let him cry a little or rub his back but we don't give in and lay down.
I am definitely willing to try this. Does C not try to get out of the bed when he gets complainy and whiny?

Croup is contagious, so be careful and on the lookout for it. I would make sure you have monitors in both rooms if you don't already.
Also sometimes steam works but sometimes cold air helps if you do get it, just depends. J's had it twice and once we went to the ER.
tgrimes1980 we just used A&D and that helped - and it's something we usually had around the changing table. We had the same issue with S, but not with B. With S, we used it at almost every diaper change till about 7 months, then 1 or 2 times a day till he was at least 1.

I love that my attorney is so laid back and makes everything sound so easy and uncomplicated. This has taken a huge weight off my shoulders regarding my Dad's estate.
If I hear one more time "XYZ is already pooping in the potty" every time potty training Matthew comes up, I may just lose my fucking shit. XYZ kid is the same age as Jack and goes when placed on the potty but it's not like he's telling them "hey I need to shit" They're just getting lucky.
I may be overly sensitive this week.
I get you. Ds flat out refuses and says he'll do it when he's as old as his friends (nephews, 6, 12, 16). I tried to bribe him with a toy he really wants, he'll said he'd wait until next year, which broke my heart a little. They'll do it when they're ready.
ETA plus yes other parents suck!
Last night, S told me that maybe he'll do it when he's 4. I'm like, ummm nope kid, mom's not waiting that long. I've pretty much promised him anything he wants. He just doesn't care. Plus our DC has trips in the summer time for his class and older, but you have to be potty trained for them. He knows this, but I don't think he truly understands that he won't be able to go, and the first trip is in like 5 weeks.

Cadence's pullups are dry every morning, but she refuses to NOT wear them to bed. I asked when she was going to stop wearing them and she says after her birthday party when she turns 4. I would prefer to not have to continue buying pullups until then.
Colin will be wearing pull-ups at night until he's in college. Some nights he's dry and other nights it's amazing that he doesn't float away. I'm just focusing on the progress he's made already and saving my energy for having to get rid of Chase's bink in another 6 months or so. Yay parenthood.

I'm here with M. Dry one night, leaking out from so much the next.

I'm sitting in the waiting room at the doctor's office. I changed my appointment from tomorrow morning to this afternoon so I wouldn't have to be late to work in the morning. I'm regretting that. My appointment was at 245. I hate waiting forever. Especially for an appointment that will take all of 3 minutes.
ETA:and I'm starving! I was going to stop before to grab something quick, but I didn't want to be "late". I should have went with my gut, instead of trying to be punctual. They just called me back.
We had to cancel our dinner guests! I'm not heartbroken. FIL drama got in the way, he's in the process of moving into his new house and his truck broke down, so MH is off to the rescue.
I feel like your DH is always off to everyone's rescue.
We have now seen every house currently on the market that we're remotely interested in. Now all that's left to do is sit around all week eagerly awaiting new listings. I need more people to sell their homes, don't they know I'm here waiting?
Who has flown with their N13 recently? Do I just need her birth certificate or do I have to get her an id or something? It's just a domestic flight.
I have- we flew in February. She had a passport already so I'm not sure what the official requirement is. Did you call the airline? I would think they do need an ID since they occupy a seat.
vinolove You probably became socially awkward approximately 3.5 years ago like me. Parenting makes you say the weirdest shit. There are days I can't believe the things I say. I *think* I used to be fun and cool. Now I'm pretty sure I just yell at a small version of myself.
Omg yes! I was reminiscing on my lacrosse days and told another mom that I used to me more virile back in HS when I played. I meant agile!!!
ETA. Edit to say I realize I'm not Vino, but was agreeing w mwhipple so had to add my story.

Since using "I'll be back in a few minutes" our bedtime has gotten a million times easier. Lately that has all gone to shit, obviously, but I've been gone. I'm just going to stick with it though and we'll get back on schedule soon.....I hope....
