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!
Not the worst by far.
Sometimes I wake up to hear DD crying and when I check the monitor the sound is off. So at some point I wake up and turn it off without knowing!

DD has decided she's obsessed with the tabs oN her diaper and pulls at them.. She got the tab a loose while I was In the bathroom... My bed was a mess...She pooped.. that is all.
Rolling over along with Diaper Tab pulling equals a mess.
lilyelayne and greenpony33 I know you shouldn't use the nosefrieda too much because it can cause irritation, but what else do you do??
Frequent saline. Keep him upright when he's awake. Going outside to get fresh air. I've been putting some eucalyptus oil on my chest (not down where he eats!) and letting him breathe it in. If he's super stuffy I'm considering putting him in the RnP in the bathroom while I take a hot shower. We always run a humidifier at night but I've been turning it on for naps too.

Thanks ladies. I'm letting Sawyer get his big morning nap out of the way before we head to the hospital. I just talked to her husband and she is doing fine. They have started her induction and are planning on breaking her water around 11.

So far using the nose Frieda 2-3 times a day has helped- I have also kept him up right a little more than normal to help drainage. For those that use the saline how do you do it? I haven't tried yet because I wasn't sure how to do it. Just put drops in their nose? Does it spray like a nose spray? (It makes me think I'm drowning him, not true I know but that's what I feel like lol)

toadandbuggie super exciting about becoming a SAHM! Awesome!
anchovies I am in a wedding in September and am already dreading the bachelorette party for those exact reasons! Plus having to factor in time to pump while away from DS just seems like too much work.

OMG! I'm so sorry! That's awful.
Silver lining - what a talented LO!
All I could do was laugh. I noticed her pulling or raking as the Dr says at them earlier this week and went to change her diaper cause she looked wet. DH said he noticed her doing it last night but didn't think she would get it off. Well she proved us wrong. Thanks I'm sure it was just a fluke. She does hate being wet or Stinky so maybe I was taking to long and she decided to do it herself

michelle142 we are in the same boat when DH tries to put DS to bed. If it is a day I am working (since I don't get home until 8 pm sometimes DS is sometimes already asleep) then he is fine having DH put him to bed, but if it is a evening I am home DS wants nothing to do with DH laying him down. Last night DH got frustrated when he tried to sooth DS back to sleep after only being down about 40 mins. DS kept screaming and then when I went up there and took him from DH he quited down within 2 mins or so. I think DH was offended and a little hurt- he just said "I was doing that and it didn't work" (referring to my shush and bounce)- I just told DH he just has to find what works for him. And in the mean time my nights are spent putting baby to sleep.
I'm having a wonderful Friday. Working from home this morning, and LO is at daycare. Its so relaxing, lol, I'm playing music, in my PJ's, sending some emails (like a boss). I'm tempted to clean the house instead of doing work though. I need to go get LO in an hour or so and head to work for an afternoon staff party day. LO is going to be much cooed over. Its an office full of women and most of the men who work there have kids also. Very kid friendly place.
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.
t&Ps for your friend! It's early but not super early.

Lol. It's okay. The joys of being a parent. Hopefully since she hates being dirty(we got through so many diapers because she flips even when there a little wetness) she will be easy to potty train next year.
Speaking of potty training. I know this is a ways a way for us but what age do you all normally start or think you will start? My mom said she started my brother and I at 1.5 but that seems so young. We started DSD at 2. And one of my family members start her kid at 3.5.

It is too soon. I need her to slow down and wait before pulling her diaper off. We can't potty train at 4 months
DS's Snuza had another false alarm at 4:30. It wasn't very loud and when I went in I found out that was because it was somehow underneath him. How he managed to do that is beyond me. This better not become a weekly thing now.
osumegs Definitely not the worst mom ever. If she was crying for that long, H should have come upstairs to check instead of assuming. Hopefully she's over it by now! hollydfromtn Prayers for your friend! anchovies That stinks! Hopefully you can bow out early and maybe use the baby as an excuse? I'm thankful that I don't have any bachelorette parties in my near future!
AppropriateChocolate, My older sister apparently decided at around 1 that she was done with diapers. She decided this while outside randomly by taking off all her clothes including her diaper. She also self weaned at some ridiculously early age. Yet somehow she is mystified that she gave birth to a very strong willed toddler.
Ok, also when I try and tag you it reverts to your previous SN...which answers my question of WHO ARE YOU?

Maybe my DD will be one of those early weaners (that sounds so wrong). She needs to wean these middle of the night feedings, I'm ok with one but 3+ is a bit much lol. I'm Braelynsmomfeb2015 lol...
@holachica, That sounds like fun! I am looking forward to do something like that with DD soon. I haven't quite found anything though. most of the stuff is during the weekday which is not going to work for us, as I am working full-time

WTH, it's all dark and gloomy outside like a storm is coming it was just sunny and bright. In the words of Ted and Mark Walburg "F you thunder...." I will not finish the rest of the song cause it's totes inappropriate and ya'll know I'm appropriate. My SN says it and everything
No real spam today. Just hanging out. I have to submit some paperwork for my new job but that's it. It's cloudy but nice out so we might go spend some time outside.
