R is on her second 2 hour nap today. K has been in her crib over an hour and is still not sleeping. Either way I've had about an hour of kid free time and I've done nothing but sit here.

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SHE NAPS 2 HOURS WITHOUT YOU HOLDING HER

This is rare. It's usually 45 min - 1 hour. I swear by the belly nap, white noise, semi dark room, fan on low. Plus also she's probably just happy to get away from her sister.

H is taking her to the pedi because I have a ton of work I need to get through. I'm sitting here freaking the eff out and feeling like a shitty mom for not going to the doctor with her.
LO has been screaming for 40 minutes. Like an afternoon witching hour. She was sleeping, DS freaked out and woke her, and now she's fighting sleep.
I'm crying because the afternoon rest time is essential to me. It's the only way I can function on my current sleep schedule. So 40 minutes of pacing and jiggling is...enough to break me.
loves2shop4shoes No. Stop. You are not a shitty mom. DH can handle this. There is no reason for both of you to go -- you're being responsible by getting her to the pedi. I know it's hard to not be the parent with her, but she's in good hands. Just stop with the shitty mom stuff.
B has done that too shellbell. If something wakes him when he really wants and needs to be asleep, he is PISSED....but nothing I do will help him get back to sleep. SO frustrating. Im sorry.

shellbell sorry about the screaming, I hope your day improves.
ellabee I bought these shoes in mid February and they're already falling apart. Dude plays hard. BUT I went to the outlets today and found him a new pair of Nikes that were on clearance for $30, which I thought was a pretty decent price... they rang up for $5!!!!
I only buy osh kosh sneakers for DS. After he wore out the toes of other sneakers almost immediately, I bought the osh kosh ones because they have a thick rubber cap on the toe. It takes him 4-6 months to wear that down!
Frankly, I'm not about to judge if someone sends their kid to the pedi with a grandparent/nanny/etc. If the child is with someone who can comfort the child, communicate to the dr what is going on, and communicate what the doctor said to the parent, I'm okay with that.

My kid wear crocs exclusively. He wears a pair down about every 6 months. I buy them at Nordstrom rack or the crocs outlet on sale. He even wears the to church. Doesn't matter the temperature, boy is only going to wear crocs. Right now he's rocking a sweet pair of Star Wars ones.

And I agree with shellbell, sending your kid to the doctor with someone who you and your kid trust is still good parenting. Sometimes you have obligations you can't break and a kid that's sick. It happens and it's awesome if you have a person who can step in.
I am so freaking excited that we can get that thing off her for a few hours a day! I can give her a decent bath, put clothes that fit on her, hug her and hold her and feel her little baby body instead of the stiffness of the harness, let her have proper tummy time, and wiggle her little legs, and actually see her feet and toes, change a diaper without straps and crap being in the way and actually getting a good fit on her. And skin to skin. I can feel her squishy baby warmth against me for the first time since she was born.
I'm sobbing such happy tears. I'm so relieved the end of this is in sight. 4 weeks to wean and then I'm having a bonfire farwell to that nasty harness.
