My parents will be here in the next hour or two. They live 4 hours away and they haven't seen DS in a month or two. He's changed so much since then! I'm excited to see them with him. I need to clean my house real fast though. It looks horrible. SS's room has become the catch all room for everything and we're picking him up tonight and will have him for two weeks. Plus I have a sink full of dishes. *sigh* Send all the caffeine and motivation please!
crispywheats good luck! Safe travels! Let us know how it goes. DS's first plane trip is next week. Nerrrvous. aggiebug that's a long time to not adjust to a new time zone! I think I'd rather DS stay on central than switch to west coast time, though, since we'll only be there a weekend. AppropriateChocolate hope the brace helps your wrist. You didn't meet your deductible having LO? miniwheat feel better!! Or figure out what's wrong
Thanks, unfortunately when I have obamacare and when I added her to my policy it changed my deductible to be higher.
I just got back from some shopping and DS rode in the cart for the first time. He did so well! Not so well.... one old lady told me "Your baby looks sick..." Wha?? Hahaha, ok Walmart lady.
H turns 33 on Tuesday. I have no idea what we are doing. I threw out the idea of us getting the same kick ass medical massages we got for my birthday...that way I can enjoy the present as well
Doctor appt went great this morning. Thanks for all the positive wishes! Our goal was 1/2 ounce a day from her appt 2 weeks ago, which would have put her at 13 lb 5 oz. She weighed in at 13 lb 12 oz today! Woohoo, grow, baby, grow. Got the clearance to officially begin solids instead of little tastes here and there. Pedi gave green light on full fat plain soy yogurt until 6 month appt in 2 weeks. Apparently that'll help chunk her up some. Such a relief that she's growing (finally!)
mrsclark731, I just made a weird face at her and she said he looks too red in his cheeks. I just rolled my eyes and kept shopping. She was old enough for me not to say much!

Did he love sitting up in the cart? Ugh re: that lady. My LO has big cheeks so I have a lot of people come up to me and make comments like how it doesn't look like LO misses any meals or whatever but the only time it really bothered me was when an old lady addressed my LO as "fat boy" at the grocery store....the best part was that she herself was very large and riding one of those motorized scooters.

What is it with the old people saying this stuff? Random old guy at the grocery store commented to LO, "How cruel is it for them to bring you around all this food when they only feed you formula!" I informed him we actually breastfeed, so she is in fact getting this food in some form. Sheesh.
I hate this time of day so much. For the past two weeks or so dd has desperately needed a catnap before bed but instead she screams and screams. From about 4:45 until bed at 6 or 6:30. It's so frustrating!! I try everything short of the ergo bc it's too hot... I finally gave her some Tylenol bc maybe her teeth? I thought the witching hour was for younger babies.
emilyz320, I find that stretch of time to always be a bit tricky. LO won't nap after 5 so sometimes she will be up from 3 until 6:30/7 bedtime. I find a walk helps or we go to the park for DD1 to play and she likes watching the kids play.
emilyz320,that time of day is challenging for us too. We try not to let DS nap after 6pm, so we can put him down at 8. If he's miserable by 7, then we'd put him in bed at 7.30. DS usually wakes after 45mins if he's in bed too early and he seems to be a 8.30-9pm bedtime kind of kid. If he wakes, he would cry til 9pm unless we decide to just let him stay up for longer and take him out of the crib.

This is exactly DS! We start bedtime at 8 which usually has him asleep by 8:30-9 depending on his mood. It has never really been a problem until the past two weeks when he has started refusing to nap after 4:00, even though he is so tired. I tried putting him to bed early a couple of times and on those nights we had 5 MOTN wake ups instead of our usual 2.

So DD just made me almost legit shit my pants. She was being herself crawling and rolling on the foam play at, I walked literally 10 steps to the kitchen , all of a sudden I hear her crying. She has her head on the ottoman of the rocking chair screaming. I run to pick her up and she cries for 30 seconds then starts smiling. I checked for blood etc. And she's been up for an hour since it happened I just put her to sleep I'm believing she's ok and it just scared her. But this FTM feels HORRIBLE I'm such a bad mom. I should've just picked her up and walked to the kitchen for those quick seconds. Now I will completely moving the ottoman and our living room table (both are wood) else where to eliminate and more scares.

Mine has been doing that too! not screaming really, but being really cranky. DH just got him to nap. He rocks him and plays this one song from the rolling stones. Its hysterical.
ugh it also makes me feel really bad, because I don't get him from day care until almost 6 and some days he is just so cranky and ths my quality time with him

I can only imagine the feels DD never got over the witching hour it's been like this since day two. I have no idea what it's like to not have a witching hour.

Yeah, its terrible. My H always jokes about how he picks her up from daycare and they have fun until mom gets home, then its cranky time. Not really a funny joke and unfortunately usually true.

I'm finally back from conference and somewhat recovered. DH's family was super cute with Brady. His mom and grandmother hadn't seen him since he was one month, but his sister and brother had never met him. They were adorable with him. It was an exhausting weekend with going to the conference and coming back to deal with Brady, but it was worth it. DH got family time and hopefully I am going to make good money this fall. Fingers crossed. We need some extra cash.
Brady was good during the drive to Ohio. He would wake up occasionally and cry for a few minutes, but I am pretty sure that his ears were popping.
We got back late Tuesday night and I thought we were going to rest yesterday, but DH's best friend from Michigan was in NC so we traveled 2 hours to see him yesterday. It was fun and we did need to see him to ask him to be Brady's godparent, but that led to me being super exhausted today. I had grand plans to get stuff organized around the house today, but instead I napped and was lazy. There is always tomorrow...
