DD has slept through the night for the 3rd night in the row. This is also how long she has had curtains (well at least one) hung in her room. Coincidence? hmm. Last night I finally slept the whole night instead of waking up at our normal feeding times. Glorious. Clearly I am still up early but I will take it!

Today I pack! we leave bright and early tomorrow for MI so I have to get me, DD and the dogs ready to go. Lets see if H has more realistic expectations on getting up and getting out of the house tomorrow. No 30 minute turn around time buddy!

[WittyLittle]

aggiebug, yay for sleep! How many wake ups were you on in the pre-curtain era? :-P When's nr. 2 coming? Good luck for the preparations!

[WittyLittle]

Jake slept until 10:15 this morning (with his usual 5:30 pitstop) the lazy bum! DH texted me at 9:45 asking me if he should wake him up. This is not a something we normally have to deal with :-P Do you guys wake up your LOs at a particular time if they 'over' sleep?

I have a progress meeting with my supervisors today. My progress is about 1%... and that 1% is the fact that I made a progress report I have the feeling a butt-kicking is in my immediate future! It's just been really hard to get my head back in the game

Well one MOTN and then she was usually awake for the day not long after 5. Today was 6:30 with no MOTN!

I got the 2nd curtain done yesterday! She has been struggling with naps this week so it was difficult to get descent blocks of time in to get it done especially since I am take a long time sewing. I am still pretty much a newb

[aggiebug]

WittyLittle that is crazy sleep! I have tried to wake DD from a marathon nap and generally she fusses and falls back asleep so I tend to just let her go.

[miniwheat]

Turns out I have pink eye. Ew gross.
But DS slept 6 hours so that was good.

[cougarette]

That sucks, miniwheat.

I tend to let him keep napping, WittyLittle.

[cougarette]

I'm calling the pedi today. DS is still dealing with this cold and his poops have been green and mucousy for the same amount of time. I'm sure it's all related, but I want to make sure I'm not overlooking something bigger.

(Hit post too soon)

I wonder if the sign language word of the week is "milk". It looked like he was opening and closing his hand yesterday while licking his lips. He was really concentrating.

I kept doing it too and saying milk. He looked at me like he understood.

Of course these could all be coincidences, but still.

[aggiebug]

Boo pink eye. Glad you have a diagnosis though miniwheat. I heard breast milk helps a ton. Like putting drops in your eyes. Sounds crazy but might be worth a shot.

[flyster]

Lo decided a good wakeup time was 545. Nursing didn't help. Plus side I'm at the gym earlier then normal and can get a full 30 minutes in (if I last that long lol ) and possibly still get to work early.

[flyster]

cougarette is sign language at day care? I didn't think they could really start that until about 6 months.

[cloe111479]

So Quinn has discovered her voice. Ms Mel, her sitter said it yesterday, but lord did she do it this morning and last night. We get a lot of screaming just to scream. I think she figured it out.

[mands1125]

Good morning. We had DD's first daycare conference yesterday. She seems to be doing well. I am going to share the report with her Pedi next week at her 4 month and see what they say.

[mishka29]

We're off to our baby group this morning. Well, I hope LOs naps will hit the right times so we can go.

miniwheat, that sucks but a quick fix!

[dacora]

DD is 4 months old today! Can't believe it's been that long already, but at the same time it feels like I've been taking care of her forever...

Going to make a trip to the store today after DD's next bottle around 10ish. I have crap here for lunches, and DH forgot to pick up chips and salsa that I wanted the last time he stopped at the store to grab a few things. I also want to hit up Starbucks, I think they're supposed to be doing those special anniversary Frappuccino flavors? I want to try Cotton Candy.

[dacora]

RIP Christopher Lee. Continue being a badass in the next life.

[michelle142]

cougarette, flyster, DD's daycare starts signing to the babies when they're about 4 months old. Just to start showing them the link between the sign and the word. DS started signing at about 7/8 months old, earlier than that they don't really have the comprehension or coordination to sign.

[michelle142]

Does anyone else's LO squeal?
DD recently started doing this high pitched squeal which she finds highly amusing. It hurts my ear drums and my dog is not amused.

mumomma13 praying for your mom, you, and all your family.

aggiebug GL packing!
WittyLittle if we don't have anywhere to go & it's not an evening nap that may mess up bedtime, I tend to let DS sleep. If it's been ridiculously long, sometimes I'll go turn off his white noise and see if he wakes.
cougarette it's amazing how much babies seem to catch on.
cloe111479 Gabe does a lot more crowing than cooing these days

It is. I was surprised they started it now, but last week on his sheet it says the word of the week was "more". I'd love for him to learn that one, but I wonder how they teach the concept.

[lilyelayne]

Supposed to have lunch with a friend so our babies can meet & we can start planning our high school reunion. She cancelled once this week, so we'll see. Afterward I might bring DS to my parents' house to go swimming. I love how much it tires him out

[michelle142]

badw0lf, ew.
I would look up your states breastfeeding/pumping laws and regs and print them out for HR. Sometimes they're just clueless.

badw0lf, the ACA says "Employers are also required to provide a place, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public, which may be used by an employee to express breast milk." So there's that.

[osumegs]

I wouldn't want to pump there, either!

I work one weekend a month and my options were to pump in the bathroom or in a room that is under video surveillance. Guess the security men get a show!

[WittyLittle]

badw0lf, that's just so wrong. So so so wrong. Yuck. Shower rooms are not only breading grounds for bacteria but I don't think my boobs would even release any milk being that much in the open :/ I hope your employer gets their shit together STAT. It's one thing if they have no room physically, but cummon. They have the space. This is ridiculous!!!

[miniwheat]

badw0lf, That is awful. That's a bathroom. Good for you for standing your ground.

[missys]

badw0lf absolutely ridiculous!

[WittyLittle]

great news!!! My sister just had another scan (she's pregnant but very high risk, they found a mass during her last scan at 6w4d which made it look like things were going wrong again). She has a healthy looking 8w5d embryo Of course still high risk but this is better news than we ever expected. So over the moon for her and so bloody excited! Trying not to show it though because I know she'd feel so disappointed if we were excited and this does end up in a loss.

[dacora]

WittyLittle That's great news! Lots of good thoughts for your sister.
