oh boo that sucks aggiebug. Maybe you should wear a sign? Some days just need a do over before they've even begun. Things are awesome here. Our dean hired an ice cream truck to give out free ice cream to the staff. Hells to the yeh!
DD fell back asleep on her own after being a wake in her crib for almost an hour with no crying. To bad I couldn't fall back asleep. I will still take the staying in bed for another hour DD. Much appreciated.
Up and at 'em! Baby boy is trying to figure out why he's awake so early but he's playing his little heart out on the playmat so I'll take it. I've forgotten how much stuff you have to bring when going on vacation for a week with a baby. I swear the car looks like we're moving instead of going on vacation, and it's 90% baby items lol My phone will be off most of the time, but I'll try to keep up with spam or at least lurk for the next week Happy Almost-Friday ladies!
Good morning, ladies! We are seeing light at the end of the napping tunnel!!! We have gotten DD much better at self soothing. I am still rocking her a little bit with the occasional paci, but she is still putting herself to sleep in her crib once she's put down drowsy and fighting through random wake ups 10-15 mins into her nap. Question: do you just keep doing the same thing at the 30-45 minute interval? (Damn 45-minute intruder!!!) Good luck to all the sleep-deprived and/or sick mommas and babies!

I think a lot of people need a do over today. A train derailed in my area last night and spilled toxic liquid all over the place. The story hit the national news this morning. We weren't in the evacuation area but have been told we can't drink our water, since we have a well, until further notice. It's gonna be a long day.
DH tried to put DS to bed last night and failed miserably. DS was screaming in his arm the entire time, but immediately got quiet and conked out 10 seconds after being in my arms. It was so fast that I couldn't even do drowsy but awake. I'm worried if DS only associates me with sleep. Getting very nervous about going to work next week with DH staying home.
DH has today off. I'm getting a massage this morning and then I have to pack for a weekend away. I just remembered there're Nando's in Vancouver. I need to get my nando's on this weekend, and the Bailey's that my DH owes me.
hollydfromtn oh my gosh, how scary! I would be so paranoid. Also, it would be really hard for me not to use water accidentally! Good luck to you and I hope they're able to safely clean it all up quickly.
Oh and also, is anyone starting to set nap times? Or are you still following tired cues for naps?
We're still just going with the flow and watching for the cues.
Same, just curious. I think later on is probably better but I'm considering it since I'm off for summer now and have the time to devote to it. She's probably not ready, though.
DD slept for 9 glorious hours last night! :eek: I could not belive it! Now I'm freeking out because we are getting up at 4 am tonight to take a ferry to a wedding and I don't want to distrurb her if she's gonna start sleeping longer. Oh well, she's soon 4 mo old so I guess whatever good sleep habits she develops will go out the window soon anyway, right?

@alyllyra I think they're just being cautious at this point but it's been raining all night. There's a very real possibility that the water is already contaminated.
I'm meeting my Mom, Dad, sister and both nieces at the mall in a couple hours. Today is ear piercing day! It is a tradition in my family (the Russian side) to get the baby girls ears pierced before her first birthday. I consulted the pediatrician just to be certain and she said go ahead, there are no medical issues. I'm most nervous about navigating my monsterous new mom-mobile in the parking lot
hollydfromtn oh my gosh, how scary! I would be so paranoid. Also, it would be really hard for me not to use water accidentally! Good luck to you and I hope they're able to safely clean it all up quickly.
Accidentally using it is my fear too. Needless to say we are going out for lunch today.

Dd is getting really predictable. (I say that watch her change tomorrow) so while I follow her cues I have a good idea when she will nap based on timing.

Hit the grocery store early to buy water. They might run out.
So scary hollydfromtn I would be going out for lunch and tossing bottled water in my sinks as a visual reminder
Just hanging out at the moment. We are going out to look at 5 houses today. We listed our house Tuesday afternoon and we have our first showing tomorrow. So much prep work.

I feel like I am growing as a person. Yesterday we were in toddler hell as Willa didn't eat at school and skipped her nap. Fast forward to dinner and she again isn't eating. I'm taking care of the baby and DH is giving Willa her bath. After the bath I convince Willa to eat some more food and my husband (not darling anymore) ate all the tator tots. I could have come unglued but I didn't say a word. Such progress. Couldn't undo what he did so we rolled with it. Obviously, Willa again spiraled into tears and I think that was enough of a tongue lashing for my husband.
TL:DR I didn't bitch out my husband when I could have.

this is us too. She wants to eat almost every 3 hours exactly, plays for about an hour then starts to get tired so I can predict when she will start to get tired. If she actually naps or not is totally unpredictable. I try to catch her towards the end of that playing hour and get her in the crib or swing because that's where she sleeps the best but it doesn't always work. Then I get stuck in nap jail and she only sleeps for 15-20 minutes because she just doesn't sleep well cuddling. She gets hot and likes to stretch out.
