badw0lf, hugs. I'm tired of complaining about being tired too. Also, of H complaining about being tired even though he gets uninterrupted sleep and also gets to sleep in on the weekends. I'm also tired of getting up in the middle of the night. Kid, can't you just keep sleeping?!

badw0lf, H never helps at night. This is because he gets up at 3:30am to go to work. However, even on the weekends he doesn't get up in the middle of the night. It's always me and has been since LO was born. So 6 months+ of interrupted sleep gets real old! But LO hasn't actually been that terrible. Either 1-2 wake ups. Last night was just 1. So I can't complain TOO much. Since I usually sleep 9-6am and only get up around 2 to feed him.
Ok I'm sorry in advance but I have to get this out:
1) I'm just over everything at the moment. Everyone wants something from me and I don't have space or time to organise my life. I'm constantly running after a bus that won't stop and it's driving. me. insane.
2) I'm having major body image issues. I don't feel like me, anymore. I eat right (lately) but I don't feel any better.
3) My psychologist just called me saying the health insurance will bill me for the 1 appointment I had this year because HE couldn't make it to the one before the end of 2014. So that's another 75eur for no reason.
4) DS still has diarrhea: medicines have had absolutely no effect. He's pood over 80% of my clothes.

The week is not off to a good start over here.
DD has a cold and is seriously congested. I used the nose frida to clear it last night before bed but she woke up at 11pm (this is becoming a trend I do not like, bed at 8 up at 11?). I fed her and put her back down but she was just sniffling and sniffling and then screaming. My attempts to soothe her were not helpful and instead I ended up with a wide awake baby who did not go back to sleep until 2am and then woke up again at 5:45.
So I decided to switch my wfh day since I got barely any sleep so I emailed my manager and got back in bed to feel a damp spot on the blanket. My dog Lily leaked pee on our bed. Instead of going back to sleep I had to put the sheets in the wash and now will be taking Lily to the vet this morning to get checked for a UTI. Good Times.
1. I can't seem to get in gear in the mornings, which is bad because: 2. I have to really go back to school next week, not just when I feel like it. 3. The interwebs weren't working at school this morning so I actually had to do stuff instead of probing here.
But there's a good thing, too, because my husband got offered that job he interviewed for a couple weeks ago! He'll get to work from home when he's not on the road, so he can help me get out the door in the mornings. And he'll get paid more, and they provide a truck, phone, computer, and all that jazz. I'm proud of him.
OH, and have any of you done an elimination diet for your baby's eczema? My little man is looking rough, and I feel like maybe it's my fault. My mom showed a picture to her NP and she said it looks like food allergy. I've started cutting dairy, but should I go full-on elimination? Halp. Also, does that mean my stash has to go? Because I have a serious stash, and would totally ugly cry if it was useless to me.
1. Got my first period. This is annoying bc I EBF and am still doing night feeds.
2. While at the grocery store DD1 yelled "I love to eat my boogers" and "explosive diarrhea". I didn't even know she knew the word explosive. Regardless, this was a little embarrassing.
3. Yesterday at ILs both kiddos were in fine form. It made us look like terrible parents since our kids were the only ones acting out and/or crying. Obviously you can't blame a 6 month who is teething but the whole image made me feel like my family was a walking disaster.
1. H has two long days at work this week (the rest are normal). 2. LO is super stuffed up. He was up a lot last night and screamed when I tried to use the NoseFrida. I also accidentally shot saline mist in his eye. 3. 2 of my 3 cute new shirts shrunk horribly in the dryer. I wish H would listen to me when I ask him to let me be in charge of all the laundry. Way too many things get ruined when he tries to help. 4. I effed up my BCP the other week and will be secretly freaking out until I can POAS this weekend.
F#^k teething. I'm not going to survive this. DS has become an angry, sweaty, drooling mess. I still can't walk great, so my ability to soothe or entertain or distract is severely limited.
Mine used to love his stroller. Loooove. Now he has a vendetta against it. He also used to happily play in the grass while I ran in circles around him (motherhood really changes exercise) and now, nope. Loses it.
How long does this particular wonder week last? Because it's been two and I'm ragged.
UGH, I'm so annoyed with daycare right now. They made a huge fuss last week about us writing up a feeding/care plan for LO, which we did. So today I get there at my normal time, and LO hasn't eaten or slept since 2 pm. It was 5:45. The teacher in charge was saying that he was really tired and cranky, but refused to take a nap. UM YEAH BECAUSE HE"S HUNGRY!! Did you check his sheet to see he hadn't eaten in a few hours before you tried putting him for a nap? I got him home, and he just sucked down 4 oz from a bottle in record time, which he never does for me, and now he's passed out. I'm debating making a complaint to the director, or just having DH talk to the teacher in charge in the AM to make sure to flag if he's only eaten twice when they switch shifts. There has only been one other time he only ate 2 bottles and I didn't make a big deal about it, since we were trying to have them go from feeding every 2 hours to having him direct when he's fed (doesn't work..he's too distracted by the other kids).
Ok my other Monday moan is that its nice out and I had really planned to either go for a walk or take LO to a park after day care to hang out. But then I got there and they hadn't f-ing fed him, so that killed all other plans and I'll be spending my evening with an over tired, or passed out baby trying to shove calories in him so he isn't up all night. No fun baby playtime today

flyster, Say what?? That is incredible. From my experience all they want to do is feed your child. They don't have a sheet where they write down the last time he was fed?

I'm super irritated at H. He stayed home today because he partied too hard all weekend at his bachelor party. Okay, whatever. But he's been moaning and groaning all day like he's sick or something. I keep telling him I don't feel bad for him... he's not sick... he's just tired and it's entirely his fault he feels this way for drinking and staying up too late. Has he ever, ONCE, gotten up with LO when we had a party to go to? Does he ever offer like, 'hey, I know you never get to sleep in on the weekends, so I'll get up tomorrow with DS, don't worry." NOPE. He's selfish about his sleep. So the couple of times we stayed up late having drinks he has never even considered how I felt waking up at 5am with LO.
And if I have to hear him say "I'm tired" again I'm going to grab twist and pull his ballsack.
This rant brought to you by: me cooking dinner, me cleaning up after dinner, feeding/bathing/rocking baby to sleep, and then coming into the kitchen to find out he didn't even put dinner away. He's been on the couch all day.
toadandbuggie I had no patience for that before DD was born and I would be livid if that happened now. I feel bad that he's so selfish for you. Have you brought it up to him that it would be nice to sleep in once in a whole? Maybe one of the weekend days?

flyster Totally not okay! I would address it with the teacher and then follow up with the director. Mama bear in me is raging for you!
toadandbuggie Ballsack twisting is definitely deserved here. I get so pissed when DH says he is tired in the mornings! You f-in slept all night! I would make him do lots of extra duties this week!

wimcgrath, Yes I've brought it up many times and he always agrees but when it's time to actually get up he doesn't. Then he will say things like he doesn't remember me waking him up. Yea, sure...
After my rant he came into the bedroom and was all apologetic (funny I didn't say 1 word to him about why I was pissed, he just knew). Let's hope he stops hogging on all the sleeping in time.
toadandbuggie, mumomma13, lotsofdotts, emilyz320, badw0lf, we are talking seriously to them today. I was upset enough yesterday that I was in the, kindof shocked, need to think about this stage. Now I've thought about it! We decided not to make a complaint to the director since it was the first time it happened since we requested the current feeding schedule, but DH will talk with the morning teachers, and I"ll talk again with the afternoon ones. If it happens again, then speaking to the director and we will research other places, which would be shame, because overall we really like this place.
