I've been really surprised how well the napping has gotten in a short amount of time. Hopefully I'm not jinxing myself. Not as many chores are getting done during the day though. So it seems I have to take away some of my sleep at night to get things like the dishes washed and clothes put away. But it's worth it if it means my baby is happy.
I've been getting a little ragey at DH becuase he has no issues sitting on the couch after work playing video games after I just spent a while getting the baby down and then spend my "free time" doing chores before I go to bed. I'm really trying to give him some credit with the things he does do like take the dog for a nightly walk but I might snap next time it happens again. Like dude really? You didn't think washing a sink full of dishes would be helpful while I'm working on getting baby to sleep? Sign. I hate complaining about it but it drives me nuts. Next time I will have to tell him to do the dishes and just deal with the grunts and huffs that come from him.
The better napping brought actual joy to my heart.
As for DH, idk if you could actually get this to work because I know you pump but, could you leave baby with him for a few hours so that he can get an idea of what it's like? When DS was a baby I did that to DH and when I came home he was singing a different time for sure.

I'm stressing about this trip.
I also seriously cannot sometimes with my ILs. I just found out that none of them have bothered to take time off for our visit. Why on Earth am I schlepping out there for a 6 day stay if nobody is going to actually spent time with us?!

I do leave the house to run errands on his day off usually. But only for an hour or two. When I left him on Tues he didn't follow the instructions for napping so I came home to a screaming overtired baby. I was super pissed.

I would not go if that's the case. So much effort for what? I don't understand.

I'm feeling hopeful about bedtime now that DD is going to MIL's house. I mean she didn't go today so the 30 minute bedtime could be due to shots but last night and Monday were quicker too. I got both kids to sleep in under an hour.
Rewarding my achievements with a glass of wine. Maybe some hidden Easter candy.

1200! Oh that would suck if it's totalled. Fx it can be fixed.
I honestly know nothing about the logistics of a car being totaled. My airbag deployed so I doubt that's a good thing.
If the accident wasn't your fault, the other persons insurance company should pay for the damage to your car. Depending on the insurance, this can be the cost to replace the car (the cost to buy a similar working vehicle) or actual cash value (the 1200). Most commonly, you receive ACV right away, and then replacement cost only after you have actually replaced the vehicle less the ACV.

This makes sense. Honestly I'm bracing myself to become a one car family.
I packed away DS's blue and white bottles tonight. We'd been using those as well as the ones we got new for DD so we would have 12. She only eats 5-6 bottles a day now.
3 years later I still worry that DS isn't gaining like he should be. No doctor has ever said anything about it since he caught up when he was a few months old.
I weigh both of my kids multiple times a week, and weighed DS1 almost daily for most of his first year. The anxiety of having experienced a baby's extreme weight loss and/or slow gain never really goes away.
I also still struggle with feeling confident in my kids' weight. DS lost so much then gained it back slowly due to a tongue tie. He started to catch up around 6 months and is 65th percentile now but the memory is strong. When DD lost over 10% all I could think was "here we go again." She gained back her loss quickly and has been growing well ever since but it's hard to feel secure in that even though I never doubted my milk production with either of them.
