Friday spam fun

[dramacat]

What?! No spam yet? Bring it here.

H is off today so he sweetly said he would take her this morning so I could sleep. Yeah except he never heard her so I am up with my little morning baby. Honestly he has "allergies" the kind that are contagious and bad hygiene when he is like this so I prefer he not get her sick.

[dramacat]

My LO has joined the dreaded 3 month sleep regression. This sleep regression is brought to you by an extra wake up at night... To eat almost nothing. And by extreme bed wetting, causing outfit changes and creative swaddling challenges once the actual swaddle is so soaked in urine it can't be used again. I think I'm going to have to buy a new one.

Happy Friday! It's a long weekend in Canada and we have already had a jam packed week. DD and I spent the day at a theme park yesterday and I am convinced she has something freakish going on with her stamina. She NEVER tired! And she also had a hard time falling asleep last night. I on the other hand feel like I have been hit by a bus from cramming myself into the kid rides.

This weekend we are heading to a friends cottage, planting my planter garden and fireworks! I need a nap already.

[dreemkin]

Going to work with the bad cold my DD1 had last week. Ugh...I want to rip my nose and throat off. But I won't.

Hope everyone has a great day!

I laughed when I read this bc minus the swaddle you just described my life! There was soooo much pee it has soaked the sleeper down to the foot. Lol

aggiebug sorry your H won't admit he's sick. And what's with dudes and poor germ hygiene when at home?
dramacat rough night! Internet hugs!

Nothing planned for today. I'm still feeling pretty overwhelmed about when DS needs to nap. He's so inconsistent with how long he wants to stay awake or if sleepy cues mean ready for a nap or HAHA TOO LATE, MAMA, DISASTER! I've been tracking to see if there's an overall daily pattern but there's not. At all.
Thankful he's pretty set in his night time pattern at least.

[cougarette]

Why is it DH can set DS down drowsy and he'll fall right asleep, but when I do it he wakes up immediately? Whatever, I got 7 hours of sleep last night.

I'll be enjoying it while it lasts! In 10 days he'll be 3 months, so I'm sure that regression is coming soon.

Woowho! Long weekend! I wish I could say we were going to use it wisely but probably not. Maybe will check out a nearby splash pad - they are great! It's crazy how these kids can just go and go. They hate to miss a minute of fun.

SERIOUSLY! I was filling out the daycare form and got so overwhelmed. Describe his typical schedule including feedings and naps? Hahaha, surely you jest. What's this "schedule" you speak of? Good luck, daycare!

I have the same issue. If I don't start seeing signs then I go by wake times. At the 2 hour mark were heading for the crib.

[cougarette]

I'm going to my last bf support group today. Last week Mr Fatty McEatsalot was 11.9. I'm thinking today he'll be 12.2 and DH said 11.15.

Man I wish I heard about this group earlier.

[lotsofdotts]

cougarette Daycares can work some magic. Both of my older kids developed their daily schedules in daycare.

I've been trying this too, started with 2hr, moved to 1.5hr when 2 wasn't very successful. Book, white noise, bed. It worked like magic one day, and not since.
I have no problem going with when he wants to sleep, even if it's unpredictable, if only he would reliably let me know when he's sleepy.

[aggiebug]

cougarette I hear ya on H being able to put down a drowsy baby and you can't. Same thing happens here. She is finally a bit better for me but now it's just totally unpredictable.

lilyelayne schedule what schedule? Babies need routines... Except as soon as you get in one they change it up on you gah.


And I just sent H and DD to the bagel shop. It was going to be a family outing but I told him my order and said goodbye. Too bad the shop is just a mile and a half from our house... I should have told him to walk there

[lotsofdotts]

I'm up earlier than I wanted to be since we are on vacation, but that's okay. Brady is being cute and playing on the floor. DH and I are just hanging out and talking. We don't get to do that often.

We are heading out to the beach for a little while. Fingers crossed that Brady does okay.

[lilyelayne]

aggiebug I'm jealous of your bagel. There's nowhere within a 45 mile radius that makes fresh bagels that I know of. When I fly across the country to visit my sister in the Bay Area, I basically do my best to subsist on bagels and indian food.

This place opened a month ago otherwise we were in nearly the same boat. This is our first time trying it.

We are also finally getting a donut shop other than dunkin donuts too and I can't wait. Dunkin is awful.

Headed into work in a few but leaving a little early today because my mom and my two SIL are headed to new kids on the block tonight! Yep! 3 30+ women and one 60, screaming their heads off for 40+ yr old men! It's gonna be a blast.

[michelle142]

2nd day back to work and I slept through my alarm. Fail.

[flyster]

cougarette, lotsofdotts, my daycare says they just go with the flow in the infant room also. It helps them anyway because if the babies were all on the same schedule they'd have 7 or 8 hungry babies and only 2 people to deal with them. This way, usually at least 2 babies are asleep at any given time so they can feed/focus on the rest.

Woah. No fresh bagels??? This seems like a foreign concept to me but I am an East Coaster (Philly) and Jewish. Give me alllllllllllllll the bagels.

[michelle142]

cougarette, lilyelayne, I rely on daycare to get my kids on a schedule. Worked great for DS! He wasn't on one when he started there at 11 weeks, but was on a full day schedule by 4 months old.

Those daycare ladies are miracle workers.

[flyster]

I cut my foot yesterday on a staple that we apparently have in our stairs from previous carpet. I don't know if the previous owner too the carpet out right before selling, but they did a pretty f-ud up job taking out the staples. We have found them around the living room too and have been taking them out. We've been in the house since October and didn't realize the mess on the stairs. DH spend 40 minutes or so taking them out when he got home. Got about 20 or 30 of them! I'm so glad my mom didn't cut her self on them when she was here! I was carrying the baby, but I'm very stable. I don't know what would have happened with her. Anyway, no gym today. I want to give it a few days before shoving it into sneakers.

[babycfeb2015]

Baby slept 1030-5 after a 2 hour battle to get to sleep so I fed him at 5 put him back down then went to a 6 am spin class. Might regret not going back to sleep but at least my workout is done!

[mands1125]

Good morning all. Dropped DD off for daycare day number 2. She seemed to be happy again today so hopefully she keeps it up. We have another crazy busy weekend coming up. I am hoping MIL will watch her on Sunday for a little bit so I can get a pedicure and maybe do a little shopping!

[cougarette]

Ok yall are making new feel a lot better about the daycare thing. Phew.

I think I just had a rough day yesterday because in addition to the form, TWICE DS did a really sad face cry when I set him down. Both times I picked him up and tried to calm him with shushing, walking around, etc. Finally both times I realized after a few minutes that he wanted a diaper change. Ugh. Come on, that's week 1 crap, not week 11. I was starting to feel totally incompetent and like I don't even know my own child.

NKOTB was my first concert when I was in 4th grade! I have wanted to go see them in the last few years but haven't had a chance. Enjoy. I'm jealous!

[lilyelayne]

flyster yikes! Hopefully your H got all the staples!

[michelle142]

flyster, ouch!!

We keep finding little tiny pieces of metal in our carpet. We moved in a little over a year ago. Unfortunately I keep finding them with the ball of my foot
