amelandre, have you read up on the sleep lady shuffle? That might be a good option for you guys, how late is he napping and how long?
I'll have to look into it. He usually naps from 11-12 sometimes 12-1 then he wakes up and we have lunch. He has refused to sleep in the afternoons since about 13 months.

Hmmm every kid is different, but if you push him to not nap until 1 ? Maybe he is overtired and so his sleep cycle is off?
Or is he waking up when he has to pee? Some kids are really sensitive to that

nurserachel22 my 2 year old does that every morning when we get to daycare. She pretends to fall asleep in my arms on the walk in, I guess she's hoping I'll turn around and take her home?? Haha
Mine tells me it's naptime as soon as we pull into the parking lot at daycare. Kids are so sneaky....

I agree that maybe he is overtired, especially if he is up from 12 or 1 until bedtime with only a short nap. I have read that afternoon awake time should be 4 hours (I think), so unless his bedtime is 5:00 it's possible he's just overtired. I think it was Sleep Lady where I read that. I know that you can read every sleep book ever and still have a kid who is a bad sleeper though. Hang in there momma!
At my 3 hour GTT. Just downed the orange drink, thank goodness they had it cold. But definitely feeling a little nauseous. Must keep it down, must keep it down.
Mine wasn't cold! That would have made it easier for sure.
Why are so many (particularly male) scientists so awkward? If I say hello to you in the kitchen please don't just stare at me in confusion. You see me almost daily and your daughter was my intern.

Has anything changed in his daily routine? DD got like this when I tried to transition her to a toddler bed Bc she was jumping the rails. I had to but the crib rail back and put her in a sleep sack and she's been fine since. Unless she's teething or is overtired she sleeps thru the night. Is it possible that he is teething? I might have missed it if you mentioned how old he is.

Yes, he is working on his upper canines at the moment. We moved him to a toddler bed about a month and a half ago but he's been fine with it (aside from a couple nights after we were traveling) ever since. And he is 20 months.
I did some reading this morning when I was feeling a little less crazy and frantic, apparently this is a really common age for sleep regression because of big teeth coming in, and learning to talk. So it sucks a lot (and WHY do dr's never warn about these things?!) but I guess we're just going to have to tough it out and try to make sure it doesn't become truly habitual.

Oh I see. DD is 19 months and when her molars came in she was a shit show. If she would wake at night I would rock her, give her Tylenol and some teething tablets. It really helped get her back to bed. I hope you find something that works soon so you can get some sleep! Good luck to you!

amelandre I hope those teeth come in quickly. Good news is he almost has all his teeth in. Yay!
DS is adapting really well to school. I was always afraid being with a SAHM all the time would make him really clingy and he'd have a hard time transitioning to being away like I did at his age, but he hasn't had that problem. I'm so proud of him. It looks like he's making friends in his class already too. Another little boy ran up and gave him a hug during drop off today. So cute!
honeylemon I think you had mentioned in a thread somewhere either here or TD (can't find it here) about books for breastfeeding. Which did you recommend? I had looked into buying it/them but now can't remember what/which one.
edit - never mind i found what i was looking for.
Did you end up getting one? The Nursing Mother's Companion and the Womanly Art of Breastfeeding are two of my favorites.

The pregnancy comments just never stop. Was in the breakroom and this lady asked when I was due. I told her May 29th. She gives me a shocked/WTF look for about 10 seconds and I say "What?" She goes "Oh my God. Like...when I was full term, I looked like you. That's crazy!" Me "Are you calling me fat?" Her "Oh no, no sorry! I just mean you are soooo much bigger than I was, so I thought for a moment you were carrying twins, or something."

Again...you were indirectly calling me fat.
People need to stop making comments about our pregnant bodies. I always ask my students (middle school) "It is helpful? Is it necessary? If not, then don't say it." I feel like some adults need this lesson as well.

One of my coworkers just gave me her copy of the Nursing Mother's Companion. I haven't started reading it yet, but glad it comes recommended.
I have a baby shower in 2 weeks for one of my best friends due 2 days before me....I just saw a picture of her and her bump. She literally looks like she ate a big lunch. And I've been feeling like a hippo lately. I know everyone is different but I'm just not looking forward to the comments from everyone comparing us bc we are due the same week.
ETA: I know a lot of women don't like having a small bump and wish it was bigger but that's not the case with my friend. She keeps saying "this pregnancy is great-everyone keeps telling me how tiny I am!"

Wow! I hope she walked away from that feeling like ass! My aunt saw me for the first time in a while and was comparing me and her daughter. I'm two weeks older and we happen to both be pregnant, she is one week behind me. She has always been tall and very thin and I've always been short and not so thin. As she is rubbing my belly (gross) she says "yup you are the same size as Carly! And she has always been so thin!"
WTF does that mean? Jeeze. We were at a viewing for my uncle so I politely smiled and got as far away from her as possible. She still tracked me down for another belly tub.

Need opinions....
I mentioned to DH about naming this baby after my dad. His name is Randy, I was thinking of making it more feminine and spelling it Randi. He didn't seem opposed to it.
The issue. I have a brother (who I am currently very distant from, his choice) that is named after my dad and has said he would like his 1st boy to be a "3rd". My brother is 30, no kids, still a wreck in life other than having a stable girlfriend. This is my last baby, and honestly I'm much much closer to my dad than he is. I know my dad would be more than happy, but deep down I'm thinking its kinda a dick move if I do it, because then my brother wouldn't use the name if he ever had a son. But our current relationship makes me think "F him not my fault he's still such a screw up".
Would you use the name or keep looking for a diff one?

Do you know if his SO would even be on board with that? It seems like he is far away from having kids and who knows if he will ever have a boy. I tend to think that if it's still a hypothetical situation for someone else, you should have first dibs on a name if you are currently pregnant.
Someone bought our PNP off our BRU registry. It arrived with just the shipping label. WTH BRU? What if I had to return it? Nevermind that I need to write a thank you note... Don't they send packing slips???

I'm one of the weird ones who doesn't really want to know what people have purchased from my registry - I enjoy the surprise, as much surprise as you get when you're giving people a list of things you want them to buy from, anyway. But my mom mentioned she ordered our crib and I wanted to make sure it had come off the registry correctly, and of course when I went to check, I saw a few other things had been bought.
Totally my own fault. I'm a little sad the surprise for those has been ruined, but also STOKED to see that someone bought the FP Snugapuppy swing that I'd fallen in love with!

I would totally use the name. There may be a chance he never has kids. And btw, I was just thinking today about how much i like the name Randi for a girl.
