I'm not buying anything for the month of August, so this morning I unsubscribed from so much junk mail. It's amazing how easy it is to convince myself I need to buy X right NOW. I'd like to blame baby and Amazon prime.
Oh yeah for hanging out before the massage! I used to go to this spa where you change into a robe and they have little snacks and tea. I made an entire morning out of it because I'd read a magazine cover-to-cover afterward! Good for you jax1182014! Baby keeps smacking her lips- I think her top teeth are working on coming in! Oh no is my first thought!!
I need my sitter and baby to go to the park so I can go make myself a delicious snack. If I WFH and show my face in the rest of the house it becomes cling city. BUT I"M HUNGRY.

Hey ladies, just a quick drop in. I started writing a post yesterday but forgot to post. We received some terrible news about a friend DH grew up with. It's the kind of thing that makes you realize how short life is. So my new mantra is to just try my best to just not worry about things anymore. Everything will be okay.
I sure do hope so! I could handle waiting for several more months. She did the same thing when her bottom ones came in. She sort of sucks her lip into her mouth and then smacks. It must feel strange on her gums. Any other crazy babies doing this?
Now that DD is pulling herself up on everything, I can't seem to get her to take a nap. She just stands in her crib and screams. Anyone else having this problem? I have no idea what to do for her.
DH is gone now for basic training. I'm doing better than I thought I would be, actually! I feel like it will get harder after it has been a few weeks. DH recorded a video of himself saying goodnight to LO, so I'm going to play it for her every night. I hope that helps her remember who he is.
I have always struggled with wanting to get onto the next thing/wishing time away, and it is extra hard to not do that now that DH is gone. I'm really trying to enjoy every day and not wish the time away. I want to enjoy LO's last few months of being a baby. I am really looking forward to living together as a family again and being around other military families though!
In other news, I nursed LO to sleep for a nap, put her in the crib, and she woke up. Nursed her to sleep again, and then the phone rang, so she woke up. Tried rocking/nursing to sleep again, and she was having none of it. So we played on the floor for a while, but she started whining and rubbing her eyes, so I tried to rock her to sleep for a fourth time. She's overtired and SO mad at this point, so that didn't work. So now she's rolling around in the crib talking to her stuffed minnie mouse toy. Not counting the few minutes when she fell asleep those two times earlier, she's been awake for about 6 hours. I'm starting to doubt that a nap will ever happen, lol.
That is good to know the smacking doesn't always lead to teeth. Hopefully this is a fluke. nerdalert the overtired no nap is the worst!! But if she's talking and not screaming right now, then you win I'm in this weird all-caught-up on my to-do lists moment. It is very rare for me to feel like maybe I'm competent...I'll just bask in this for about five seconds until the next whirlwind starts, haha.
zengal, Liam goes on little phases of smacking his lips. He's done it a few times over the last few months and no teeth, lol. But no doubt the teeth are moving, he just has really slow moving teeth.
DD is struggling with napping at daycare. She just is too busy watching everyone. Everyone sleeps at the same time but she watches the teacher then. She's too nosey for her own good.
Students show up tomorrow and I'm ready for them.
I hope you'll have great nights. I miss my days of being able to keep up and tag.
Thanks for the well wishes. After hours pediatrician thinks it's a stomach bug and should pass in 1-2 days. That brings us to the 9 month well baby visit on Friday.
