C slept in a little today - yay!! It rained last night and cooled of a ton. I think that helped.
My I'll-law's are coming today. MIL was doing hints like crazy to H that they hadn't seen C since Easter. I'm having them hang out with C while I run a million errands. (The kind where I would have to get him in and out of the car over and over. And we need a ton of groceries, and I don't want to deal with the carseat and groceries.)
Hi lovelies. I've been hiding a bit because sleep is a shit show here and sleep talk is making me anxious. Not anyone's fault, it's on me. But apparently I only make babies that hate sleep! Hope everyone is well and has a fabulous Friday.
DS has been better on the zantac and gas pills. He has been napping on schedule it's just still short 20-30 min ones but he has been going down to bed easier and sleeping for at least 4 hours at the first stretch.
@justinslovo good luck today!
moutonrouge good luck with this new bottle. It's been a rough transition to the bottle for you guys. Hopefully this one will work.
Daycare dropoff for DS1 was a shitshow this morning. He was sitting next to my car in the parking lot screaming his head off and I had the baby in the k'tan so I couldnt bend down far enough to pick him up. The director finally noticed and came and scooped him up and took him to his classroom. Sometimes I think I am totally winning at this having two kids thing and other times I am just a massive failure :-) Such is life. On another note, I need to stop hitting up the Dunkin Donuts drive thru. I don't know what my problem is...their bagels are meh and they never get my coffee order right.
So not sure if anyone knows what the trunk club is. Basically, a stylist who you get to know personally goes to Nordstrom and picks out tons of clothes in your size and either sends them to you in a trunk, or brings them to their loft area for you to try on while you drink wine. I'm headed there today, and basically said I need any entirely new work wardrobe. I'm pretty excited. J will be with me, and I'm sure all the girls will love her. My little sister teaches at a school a block away from where we are going, so we are going to meet her after school and see her classroom. Should be a fun "girls day." I'm kind of running late though. Our appointment is at 11, and we both need to bathe and get dressed still. Haha.
glb30 How does one go about this special Nordy's treatment. I am heading there today to find some clothes that will flatter my flabby self this summer. I would think this method of having some pre-selected for me to try on would save so much time!

This Friday can go F itself. Between my DD being sick with a fever for three straight days of not knowing why and then my poor DS having his shots yesterday I'm having an awful week. Not to mention my H has been completely selfish and I got in a huge fight with them this morning because he ended up getting called into work last night at midnight and didn't get home until about 3am and I had to drop off my DD's urine this am because she wasn't able to provide it yesterday at the doctors office so I woke him up to see if he could watch the kids while I went to the doctor to drop it off and he says to me "I didn't go to bed until 330 this morning and I have to work today that's why I'm sleeping in until 930. Are they going to be sleeping?" I can't believe sometimes how selfish he truly is and I'm literally at the end of my rope with that. It seems like all he cares about is himself. Yesterday all day I was home with two sick kids and he decides he's going to sit in his car for a half hour and twiddle out in the lawn and then come upstairs and take a half hour shower so by the time he came down casually it was an hour after he got home from work and he thought nothing was wrong with that that he tells me he's a grown man and he didn't need to ask me for permission and why can he have time for himself. Are you kidding me right now H? He says that it's different when he has to go to work; BS it is I'm doing twice as much work taking care of two sick children with fevers while he's sitting at a desk all day probably looking up YouTube videos and twiddling his thumbs. End rant
Poppy32617, this fight went on for a long time with my dh after the twins... it's hard because they really don't get it. ~hugs~
caer mine hates sleep as well.. sleep schedules don't work so well with twins running around and older sisters needing to go places. We just roll with it as we can.
@justinslovo hope things go smoothly today. After two rough pregnancies and a houseful of kids, my dh and I are flirting like crazy and waiting for bids vasectomy. It isn't scheduled until June 6th >< I'm going crazy, but your worry is mine. It had been almost a year.. this sucks!
Sooo tired. Tiny gets his long stretch of sleep while I'm at work.. better for him, hard for me.
I'm sorry you guys are in the crappy sleep boat too mikaela20 and missi. I'm at the point where I can't tell if I have PPA/PPD again or if I'm just severely sleep-deprived. It sucks. Hoping our kiddos all get with the program soon!

I'm the same way about ppd. I keep looking up the symptoms but they don't all fit. And when I get a stretch of 4 hours of sleep or more, I feel better the next day. So I don't know. I'm think sleep deprived. It's a form of torture, I'm pretty sure.

(((Hugs))) Sleep deprivation IS a literal form torture. I'm sorry you're struggling too. Here's hoping more sleep is in the near future for both us!

Thanks guys for understanding I knew I could count on you and talk to you guys. It's so hard because I don't want to say anything in front of my family or friends because I don't want them to think that he's a bad father however I do need him to step up to the plate especially when they're not feeling well. Not to mention was he expecting me to drag two sick kids out just so I can drop off something at the doctors and bring them home when he was home perfectly capable of being with them? I just got furious because it seems like every weekend he's out and about doing things like washing his car mowing the lawn and spending hours outside and I'm inside with the kids or I'm tending to them constantly I feel like I'm solely parenting or sometimes I'm a single-parent and it's just really frustrating.

That bottle was the worst of the bunch. I'm crying. I don't see how this ends. In 2 months when I go back to work, DH isn't going to magically make this work.
Poppy32617 - That's tough and I'm sorry you're dealing with it
I've been know to get frustrated on the weekends as well. Now I've started asking on Friday night what he wants to get done during the weekend and I share what I want to get done. If there is room for everything, great. If not, then we work on a compromise. Would something like that work so you both feel like you are getting things accomplished/free time on the weekends?
Poppy32617 I'm sorry that you are dealing with this crap. I think a lot of guys mean well but just don't get it. My H and I just have different household priority lists. In my case, he does as much as I do, but his list is just very different from my list sometimes.
That bottle was the worst of the bunch. I'm crying. I don't see how this ends. In 2 months when I go back to work, DH isn't going to magically make this work.
I know it's tough but I PROMISE you that the bottle will eventually work. When they are hungry they eat. Mom giving the bottle is definitely tougher. Try not to force it or get too frustrated. Way easier said then done.

I promise it will be ok when you go back.
+1 to all of this. I stressed so hard over this with DS but it all fell into place when he started daycare. I won't lie, the first few days were rough, but he figured it out. We went through tons of bottles and he would even change his mind about which ones he'd take. It will be ok!
