Still no spam?

[aggiebug]

You were just waiting for me weren't you?


H is home today so he wished our child away while I "slept". Sweet guy. I say "slept" because my brain is so used to getting up at 5:30 now and dog is whining outside the door, but hey I didn't have to fully wake up so it's still a win.

[osumegs]

Worst mom ever over here.

DH just woke me up from a deep sleep to ask how long dd had been crying. She had worked her way into a corner of the crib and was screaming her little head off. Based on how upset she was, I'm guessing awhile. He had been downstairs and heard it 20 minutes prior, but he assumed I was up and taking care of whatever the issue was. Poor thing. I never sleep that deeply and feel bad for neglecting her!

[dreemkin]

I was up twice to calm Anna down (aka stick her pacifier back in) and by 3am I did not want to get up again but I could tell by her cry that she wanted more this time. I let DH get up and I feel like I got away with it. Bwahaha! But I'm working today so it's justified right? I was so tired when my alarm went off (I was still deep in a dream). I hate when that happens.

Have a great weekend everyone!

[aggiebug]

osumegs Oh gosh I am sorry. Not the worst mom ever. Not even close. It happens, lo is fine I am sure you feel worse than she does.

dreemkin Dads can get up too no guilt!

[lilyelayne]

aggiebug you've been on a spam starting roll
osumegs don't feel bad; you didn't mean to leave her.
dreemkin hate waking up so abruptly

Spam: poor DS is so congested this AM. Post-nasal drips are the worst. Thankfully it hasn't interfered with his appetite.
I'd planned on spending the afternoon at my parents' house, maybe swimming, but it'll depend on how he feels.

I need some prayers for a friend today. Her due date isn't until July 27, but the Dr. decided yesterday at her appointment that they needed to go ahead and induce her this morning due to low fluid levels. I'm heading into the hospital soon to help out with their 4yo DD. TIA ladies.

Praying. Keep us posted when you can.

Thinking of your friend, hollydfromtn.

osumegs, don't feel bad! You didn't do it on purpose.

aggiebug, sometimes it's nice to just keep laying in bed, even if you can't get back to sleep.

[cougarette]

Poor DH, he was out of town for training and he gets home and I have to tell him he can't kiss DS because he got his rotavirus vax yesterday.

[aggiebug]

hollydfromtn many prayers for your friend.

cougarette I had never heard that rule. Weird.

[FlutterOfYoshis]

osumegs dreemkin It's so hard to wake from deep sleep, and it's tough when we don't get it as often right now.

hollydfromtn T&Ps!

Just bought 2 different sound machines this morning off Amazon. DD keeps waking up so many times in the night (5x last night) and she's not even in her crib yet, which we figured would be even worse. Hoping that some sort of white noise that plays all night will do the trick. As it is, she can fall asleep to her sleep sheep and classical music, but those turn off after an allotted time. The stupid pacifier is also an issue.

[greenpony33]

lilyelayne DS is stuffy too, 1st cold I am guessing. He is acting fine but post nasal drip is making him randomly gag-nose freida is my friend!

hollydfromtn prayers for your friend, hope all got as smoothly as it can!


My spam- why in the world would I make a Dr appt for 915am? I have to drop DS off at my parents first so that menas leaving thr house by 8. And of course it's the same morning DS only had 1 wake up and is still sleeping at 740. For now on no more morning Dr appts

[cougarette]

aggiebug it's because it's a live virus. They also say to wash your hands really well after changing his diaper, but I think that's just good advice in general, heh.

Also, it's an oral one.

aggiebug I thought it was just you had to be particularly careful of body fluids for a day, though I guess when your baby becomes a drool monster kissing could be a problem lol

[miniwheat]

Good thoughts to your friend and her LO hollydfromtn
osumegs, I have already done that to DS too many times to count.

I am going to Costco today! It's like Christmas!

[toadandbuggie]

Hi all. I have a pretty bad sore throat that's been bothering me for a few days. I was supposed to go see my cousins baby today but she was born preemie at 35 weeks and I don't want to risk it. ? I'm really disappointed.

LO is sleeping on my chest and it's wonderful. He hasn't done this in so long and I need all the baby cuddles today.

I am officially resigning from my job. My last day is going to be July 23. I finally just did it after being miserable at work. I can't wait to spend all my time with my LO again.

Hey all! I haven't been on all week I think. My phone was on the frizt and I just got a replacement (yay phone insurance!) Not too much happening on my end, just the normal fun of work and baby caring. This week LO got into a really good pattern that I hope sticks...sleeping till a bit after 5 am, when he wakes up, I get him and nurse him in bed, and we go back to sleep until my alarm. That was I still get my baby snuggles for a bit, and I get my sleep. its lovely. He also hasn't managed to roll over in the merlin suit yet, which I am thankful for.

[aggiebug]

cougarette and FlutterOfYoshis Oh it makes sense since it is a live virus my pediatrician just never mentioned it and he is usually big on giving you the information. It's so rare for an immune competent adult to show clinical disease that I guess I am not worried about it nor is the pediatrician?

[pitdigger]

Last day with SIL and her family. We're just going to meet in town for a little shopping and lunch so that they can get back to the Dockyard with plenty of time to buy rum cakes and get on the ship. Yesterday we took the boys to the kid-friendliest beach on island. Hers wasn't too thrilled, but G was probably the super smiliest he's ever been. He also passed out for 4 hours at 6:15 after getting home and playing for 15 minutes. We only woke him up for a bath because of sunscreen, salt, and sun.

Thankfully it hasn't been too bad, but I'm ready for G to stop waking up at night again. He's ending up sleeping in our bed with us because I'm just too tired to get him back to his. I need to really make an effort to do that.

We've got a full day tomorrow with the Canada Day beach party and swim lessons. I will be very happy when we can slow the pace for a week or two.

Well thankfully DD didn't repeat her performance from the previous night, she slept through no problems. The dumb thing is that I woke up at like 3am for some reason, then couldn't get asleep until like 4:30 because of stupid anxiety over wondering if DD was going to wake up middle of the night again. Talk about counter-productive. I've been wondering if I have very mild PPA, but honestly I only get this way at night when it comes to sleep.

Yesterday was just a craptacular day. The whole mess of her waking up MOTN, leaking diaper first thing in the morning, her just being a generally whiny baby and driving me nuts. My patience in general was all used up by 8am. She's been on strike for her afternoon naps unless she's eating (loves to sleep and eat at the same time) or I rock her to sleep on me. I will admit to thinking, why the heck did I decide to have a kid?

Today is already better though, yesterday was just one of those days I guess.

hollydfromtn prayers for your friend today!

[mands1125]

hollydfromtn, Lots of prayers for your friend!

[michelle142]

I had DH try to put DD to bed last night (I normally do it). It was a huge fat fail. She screamed and screamed and screamed. She's normally down for me in about 10 minutes. She screamed for half an hour while I tried. I finally got irritated and took over, she fell asleep almost as soon as I touched her.

I kind of feel like a jerk for stepping in, but the gasping screams were killing me and DS was getting mad about listening to her scream.

It would be sort of nice to get a night off from the bedtime routine once in while though.

[lotsofdotts]

hollydfromtn, saying prayers for your friend.

First, Brady slept from 9 to 5:30 last night! Thank you Jesus! I'm going to tell myself that my great sleeper is coming back and he has kicked the sleep regression. If I keep saying it, it will be true, right?

Secondly, we are going to have a family picture made at 11:50. This will either go wonderfully or be a complete disaster. There will be no in-between. Pray for my sanity.

Morning & happy Friday!

Last day of second shift for a couple of weeks. Woo! However, I have to attend a bachelorette party for a wedding I'm in tomorrow night. The girl physically cannot handle having more than 2 drinks without becoming physically sick, but the maid of honor is insisting we all pitch in for bottle service. Umm, are you serious?! I wasn't planning to drink more than 1-2, if at all. Oh and I'm still fat in my dresses and we are supposed to wear black cocktail dresses. At 30 with a 4.5 month old, I feel too old & tired for this stuff.

lilyelayne and greenpony33 I know you shouldn't use the nosefrieda too much because it can cause irritation, but what else do you do??

Some of the time I only use saline drops. We use a cold mist humidifier every night. When he was really congested I used phenylephrine drops a couple times a day for 3 days. Yes, I know it's not FDA labeled for his age, but we are both pharmacists and my husband is a pediatric clinical pharmacist, so we just look up dosing.

FlutterOfYoshis hope the white noise helps!
greenpony33 nose frida hasn't been helping us as much this time around. Glad it's doing the trick for you!
toadandbuggie sorry you can't visit the new baby but you're making the right call. And congrats on becoming a SAHM! You've been struggling with the decision so I'm glad it's made.
pitdigger so cute that LO enjoyed the beach!
dacora hope today continues to be a good day
anchovies hope you end up having fun at the bachelorette party anyway (though I agree it sounds a bit of a disaster in the making).
