Monday. In JUNE!

[Lola]

My part time, spur of the moment babysitter is now watching a new little guy (my SIL's NB). This means she can no longer watch DS when we need her to. Which means DH cant pick up OT randomly anymore until I find a new last minute babysitter, which is pretty impossible.

Mbug was awake from 2-4 am.

My sister called me yesterday (this never happens) because she thinks our Mother has lost her marbles and needs a therapist and medication. I agree but it's hard to see/help/whatnot from 1000 miles away. We are doing a "just because" box for her to help lift her spirits.

Mbug slept in due to said awakes so now our whole schedule is off. She's also cranky. I hope more teeth show up soon so she stops with the "hand in mouth, fuss in pain" thing. It's sad.

Have you tried any motrin? When DS had teeth coming in, it was a huge help. 

Bitch # 2: I bought lunch meat yesterday, and was craving salami. I wasnt paying attention and the guy gave me boiled salami. WTF is that?? I tried it last night and that is NOT salami!

You sure that's not the equivalent of the Starbucks barista giving you decaf even though you didn't ask for it because you're pregnant?

Haha I didn't even think of that!! I think the boiling doesn't affect the risk of bacteria in lunch meat though. I thought it was the sitting around in the deli case. And clearly, im not that worried about the risk because I eat sandwiches all the time.

@iheartmyshiba, Lennon was up from 4-530! He never does that. I hope Mbug lets you nap today and she starts to feel better.
anotherdreamer, I turned on the heat last night too and it's bullshit! It's grey and drizzling out, a great day to sleep and watch Netflix. Now I need to get the kids on board.

[liziz]

LO was up at 5:30 (really only a half hour early, she gets up at 6 on work days) both days this weekend, and then we had to wake her up at 6 today so I could make it to work on time. So lame.

We have foggy overcast weather here, but it's what we always have this time of year (June gloom), and I LOVE IT! It's a nice break before the really hot parts of the summer (Aug-Oct)

Thanks guys! Her MOTN shenanigans wasn't about pain or teething. It was about fun :-) lots of babbles and turning the monitor light on and off while standing in her crib. Good times.

She got a nice dose of Motrin before her morning nap :-)

Can't you move the monitor further away so she can't play with it (and aren't you supposed to keep it away from the crib if it has a cord because of strangulation risks)?

MBF:  DH I know there's stuff that needs to be picked up around the house. I cleared the counter enough this morning and got your coffee started specifically so you wouldn't get all pissy about this. It is in fact possible to leave for work without feeling like you need to pick up stuff that was overlooked all weekend because suddenly it's Monday morning. It can wait.

DD slept AMAZING for a week and a half straight. Slept like crap the last two nights. I'm hoping it's just a phase and we aren't back to old sleeping habits. I don't think I can go back to crappy sleeping after that glorious week and a half!

[ladytiffany24]

Well, as I mentioned earlier today, we're finally teething over here. One tooth on the bottom is not quite all the way poked through yet and the one next to it isn't far behind. Last night was pretty rough and I fear tonight may be the same. She seems to be fine, her happy little self during the day but at night, it's rough. Is that normal?

Also, I'll take any and all advice to help my little nugget (and mama) through this!

Anyone here ever used camilia teething medicine? Hylands teething tablets? Motrin? Wash cloth in the freezer? What are your secrets?! Do tell!

I've used all of the teething medicines and I think the Motrin works the best. He always fussed more and night and would wake up frequently. I give him frozen cherries, blueberries or strawberries a mesh feeder ( super messy) and he loves gnawing on them.

I also alternated Tylenol and Motrin when he was super miserable.

DD has an amber teething necklace that definitely stops her drooling, no idea if it helps with the pain. She also has pumpkin butt teething oil (I use this on mouth ulcers too, it's amazing) to numb her gums and I gave her a chewthbrush which is a toothbrush on one end but wide and flat at the other for gnawing. Other than that, she's pretty much been fine so I haven't really done anything special.

I have heard great things about the Pumpkin Butt oil.

I am growing very sick and tired, and bitter about the uneven distribution of work in this household. That is all.

So sorry, I know the feeling. Would talking to your DH about it help? Also about your teething baby- I agree motrin and Tylenol alternating as you need to before bed/through the night. Hope you get some sleep!

[isolemnlyswear]

It's 12:1am and the Baby is asleep.... how come I can't?? Ugh.

I've talked to him about it until I'm blue in the face. He goes through phases where he's more helpful than other times. But mostly, it's just me doing a lot. He thinks that since he does all the yardwork and handles the finances that it's all good. Whatever.

Our husbands must be long lost twins. After leaving me with all 3 kids last week while he worked and traveled for work, he had the gall to accuse ME of not helping him out with yard work. WTF was I supposed to do? Mow while he was gone? In the midst of DD not napping? I didn't speak to him at all on Sunday. Over it.

Shibes, do you have any iron supplements? Or at least some red meat? Take it easy!!!

*** TMI WARNING ***

I've been bleeding since my IUD was put in. Mostly just very light spotting Friday and Saturday. Sunday I think I got my actual period so I started using my cup. Put it in for the night around 9 pm last night. Woke up a 6 am cause Mbug was fussing and felt funny. Checked on her and then went to the bathroom... Filled the whole damn thing!!! Wtf. But then I went to the bathroom at 8:30 this morning and it was filled again. I bled what some people do in a whole period in 12 hours :-( f this noise.

If it keeps up, I'm calling my doctor. Last thing I need is to pass out with just me and Mbug at home.

I bled FOREVER after I had my IUD put in.

It was seriously an entire month, about a month after my PP bleeding stopped. I was told 2 weeks, but when I called the Dr, they said it could continue up to a month.

But then I haven't bled since, except for some occasional spotting.

I bled with mine for three months then had it removed. I could not do it. Hope yours stops soon!

[Lola]

@iheartmyshiba, I hope it stops soon. I'd call them if you're concerned. If I remember correctly, the concern is if your saturating 1+ pad an hour. Im not sure how a cup translates to a pad, but if it filled up in a few hours, I would say thats pretty significant.

[bigrock74]

@iheartmyshiba, I don't eat read meat either. I use this for a guide to increase my iron:

This is awesome! Thank you! It says cooked spinach... Dominique to cook it? ?

Errrr, what?

[Lola]

I assume it autocorrected technique?? I saute with olive oil or butter. Sometimes I add onion or mushrooms.
