Had LO's physiotherapy appointment. No major tightening in his neck, but we were given some stretches to do and encouraged to keep up switching positions so he's on his right side more. A little flattening on the left side, but should clear up if we get him on his right more. Some head lagging, so we need to do some exercises for that and do some different tummy time exercises to increase his neck strength.

Of course the first night DS ONLY has 1 wake up and is sleeping in past 7 am is the same morning that I have to get up for a work meeting. Not fair, I want that extra sleep too!
Today I have a meeting with my boss and I'm going to ask for part time. I'm very nervous! I just found out he is retiring 6/30 though, so maybe he just won't care what I ask for. Ahhh. I feel like it's my first interview again. If all goes well, I'm going to stop by the daycare and officially register LO.
Yesterday my mom and I got into a screaming match. Sigh. It's been really hard because she's been really pushy to see DS so much and gets annoyed when I tell her it's not a good day. I try to explain he's not going anywhere.... over the weekend she waited 3 hours for him to wake up for a nap. She's always like "OMG I haven't seen him in SOOO long" after 3 days. The days she doesn't see him she wants videos and pictures. It's exhausting.
I think living 5 minutes from my mom is actually hurting our relationship.
Edit: also, every picture I send my mom (most of the time per her request) she posts on facebook. Is it silly to be annoyed?
toadandbuggie Good luck on the part time! Sounds frustrating with your mom. Have you had a boundaries talk with her in regards to Facebook sharing (a, I know you are so in love and happy to share, but I was hoping we could cut back on Internet presence a bit)?
seamonster That sounds pretty promising then. Do they think it will have corrected by follow-up?
I think so. Hopefully his head will round out again on the flat side and not flatten on the other side. DH is sensitive to the fact that his head isn't completely round so trying to keep LO's head round. LO started out ahead of the game as a c-section baby.

osumegs, I would, but I'm trying to pick my battles right now. She gets so defensive if you say anything, even nicely. If I was to say, "Mom, please don't post all the pictures I send you to facebook" she would be like, "OMG I can't do anything right! FINE I won't post anything at all!"
badw0lf, That's funny bc I feel like it's the same way. I'm like, just enjoy being a grandma!
Ugh. It's already been one of those mornings. The big one had to go straight to the bath and her pajamas just got thrown away. If you think baby poop-splosions are bad, just wait.

Ugh that's a crappy way to start the day - pun intended lol
We had that two days ago. I wish she had been wearing a one piece bc instead she sticks her hand in it, its up her back, on the sheets, stuffed animals. Barf.
So my friend's brother who was trapped in the remote areas of Nepal with his SO about about 25 other foreign travelers have finally been rescued. They picked up the whole group early this morning. I am so relieved for everyone.
It also makes my lack of sleep last night seem much more trivial
DH was out of town last night. Instead of being all determined and ready to handle two on my own like many ladies here, I had my mil come and help.
LO didn't eat until 4am. But she woke a few times to fight her way out of the swaddle. It's frustrating when they sleep well but you sleep like shit.
Saw age of Adeline yesterday. I was a little disappointed. I thought it was going to be more about her life over the years but it was just a typical romance movie.
Today we'll head to the early years centre near our house now that LO is old enough to enjoy looking around a bit.
lilyelayne I hate that feeling! I always have a glass of water and a bottle of water on my nightstand. DH has stolen my water at night before and I always flip out! To avoid being crazy, I always pour him a glass too. He says he never wants to be stranded somewhere with me bc I won't share.
Yay for a good appt seamonster it sounds like things are going well with LO
greenpony33 that is so frustrating! The universe owes you much sleep for this.
miniwheat that has to be tough! Little lady is growing up.
toadandbuggie GL! I would love to be part time, and I hope it works out for you! As for your mom, maybe if she says she won't post anything, it might be for the best. I would be very annoyed and upset if my mom or MIL or heck even if DH was posting a bunch of DS photos/videos.
badw0lf that's a crazy thing for a Grandparent to say. She sounds like someone who would throw herself a grandma shower. Maybe it's a good thing our closest parent is an hour away. After reading yours and toadandbuggie's post, I would've probably lost it by now.
DS slept from 9pm until 6am!! I don't care if it was in his RNP, I feel like a new woman! I woke up around 4 and had to check to see if he was still alive.
He woke up starving and with a diaper that felt like it had been dunked in water. I fed/changed him, and he fell asleep on me around 6:45. I fell asleep too, woke up at 8 and he's still sleeping in his RNP.
Is this the same kid?! I know it could be a fluke, but it was much needed. I drank my coffee and now I'm going to get a shower.
Re: grandparents posting tons of LO pics on Facebook Maybe have the conversation about why they want to post so much? Encourage them to share photos with their close friends via text or email instead? Of course the dramatic response may be they want to share the photos with EVERYONE DONT YOU?? LO is just so adorable!!! In which case all you can do is reiterate your wishes that LO has less of an Internet presence.
seamonster That sounds pretty promising then. Do they think it will have corrected by follow-up?

My older daughter had a fairly severe flat spot due to her time in the NICU and inability to do tummy time b/c of her abdominal wall defect. Didn't officially get diagnosed until about 6 or 8 months old (I'm ashamed that I've forgotten the exact details) and we ended up firing our pediatrician because of it.
To the point of my post...
Willa's sitting, reaching, and crawling was impacted by the torticollis and she needed PT along with the stretching exercises we did at home. We were able to have the therapy sessions at daycare because she qualified for Early Intervention services. Obviously, I hope you all caught it soon enough that you can fix things on your own without having to jump through a bunch of hoops.

Follow up in 5 weeks.
Glad to hear it went well! I hope he has lots of improvement soon!
DS will be going to a baby physio and massage therapist at his 4 month well visit if his flat spot has not improved. DH is so upset by this (flat head, not massage therapy.) DS's ear is slightly pushed out from it and DH is so worried about getting it corrected asap. DS is getting more used to his Tortle hat so I hope that is going to help a little.
Preschool tour went awesome! DD was so excited to be there and check out all of the play areas and had some fun playing with a water table. We even left her alone in the preschool room while we did some paperwork and she didn't freak. So its official, this September I need to buy a tiny backpack and indoor shoes. I am feeling a lot of feels you guys.
Boo Thursday! Can we just get to the weekend already? We have a wedding reception that I'm really looking forward to tomorrow, a short "road trip," to a town a couple hours away on Saturday and a graduation party for a close friend (who has kids that at all around the same age as our kids) on Sunday. Today is full of errands, gym, housework....lame stuff I don't want to do. Can't we just skip today?
