I've seen 5am way too often lately. DS is growth spurting, and I know he's late to the party but he's started rolling to his belly & grumping about it. No plans for the holiday but catch up on laundry & chores. Maybe have some friends over for board games if I get the kitchen table presentable.
We are dealing with a huge cold over here. O has STTN for the past 3 nights and that all went to hell. Poor baby has a cough, is sneezing, and a runny nose.
My H's aunt passed away this weekend, so we're spending the holiday at her wake. And then I have to miss a day of school during the second week to go to the funeral. I guess I'm a horrible person because I'd really rather go to work. I think I'm going to be straightforward with the kids and tell them I'm going to a funeral so that their parents don't judge me.
I am working and hopefully it's a slow day at the hospital/ER. My MIL is flying out today. She wasn't too bad this visit. She really only said one rude comment: criticizing that I gave DD1 lemonade (watered down a ton btw) with chinese food...they don't go together apparently *shrugs* Norah doesn't care. Heavily watered down lemonade is a treat to her usual milk.
dreemkin, what was your daughter supposed to drink instead? Watered down lemonade sounds fine.
I'm at work. Trying to do work after working all weekend. So tired. But DS is down to one wake up a night and it feels so nice. I really should start pumping after he goes to bed now that he's sleeping longer, but I haven't been able to bring myself to it.
dreemkin hope today goes smoothly at the hospital. And how exactly does watered down lemonade not work (eye roll)?!
seamonster sometimes adding that extra pump in is a bigger pain that it should be. Yay for 1 wake up though. I think we are about there. We're alternating 1 and 2 and it feels fantastic for a change!
lilyelayne, i dunno whats going on with LO, but the last 3 or 4 days have been pretty sucky at night. I don't think its teething, so maybe a growth sprut/sleep regression? They aren't supposed to have the next one until 8 months(He is just 7 months), but LO is doing a bunch of physical things that 8 months old do...full on crawling, pulling to stand, ect, so maybe he's early? Luckily he timed it with the long weekend so we have been swapping who gets to sleep in. Good luck with yours 5 am is not a happy time.
I'm up, V is happily playing with something on the bed next to MH. He slept well last night considering I didn't pick him up from grandma's until after nine last night.
Over 12 hours shift yesterday, and who knows how long I'll have to work today. My boss tried to call in someone to help cover, since it's not really my place to cover, but she wouldn't adjust her plans. Biggest weekend of the summer, and we are at basically half the staff we need.
Taking the baby to the baseball game last night was a success! We stayed until the 7th inning stretch, when it was apparent our team was not gonna win. Hen he slept until 830 this morning!
Plans today include my aunt's funeral, then maybe to husband's grandparents for a cookout. Matthew is their first great-grandchild, so you'd think they'd be all over him, but they're not. Then they always make comments about how they never see him. They live ~20 minutes away... and say our house is too far to drive. Whatevs.
I'm going to stop giving DS the current antibiotic and call to see if they'll prescribe just the regular amoxicillin. He's thrown up after every dose so far.
He ate fine at 5am, but not since he woke up around 8. He just keeps fussing. I tried different positions, locations, and sides. I guess he'll let me know when he's ready. Meanwhile I pumped lefty because it was painfully full.
missys that's miserable. Hope O feels better soon, & you don't get sick! junebugjam sorry about your H's aunt. I imagine it's hard to miss any day of school but especially an early one. dreemkin that comment is so absurd; hope it was an easy one to shake off. seamonster you've done so much to give BM to your LO. It's okay if you don't have the energy/willpower/etc to do that extra pump when your baby is finally letting you get some rest. emilyz320 where did our little babies go?! kartish hope your work hires some new people soon, and that you're not in charge of training them (unless that is a task you enjoy). danitaec love tit for the baseball game, not the frustrating ILs.

Yikes! Poor N. Guess he's not feeling any better since the abx aren't processing.
flyster we have been going through the same wakes ups the last week. I am chalking it up to object permanence/separation anxiety. Pulling to stand/crawling are all a part of WW22. How old is LO again? FWIW I opened up the WW app to double check since I didn't think we were due for another for a few weeks and this appeared:
As I suspected…it hit us bang on 30w
AFM, I am exhausted. I was tired from our family party Saturday night, but DD woke up around 3 last night. I got her back to sleep fairly quickly, but then I tossed and turned until almost 5. My alarm went off at 6:15 for work. Ugh.

Work is kicking my butt, so I'm not keeping up on here. I'm just exhausted between shuffling a baby, 5th grader and a high schooler and all their extra stuff on top of work and keeping up my house. I'm not in the groove yet, so I haven't been here that much. I hope everyone is doing well!

Headed to sil today. I'm ugh.. About it. I really wanted to spend the day in my pjs but it is what it is.
Dd loved the turkey and rice puree last night. It's one of the 2nd foods and larger container and she ate the whole thing. She hasn't disliked anything. I am shocked because I'm a crazy picky eater.
taberbtb, we are not quite there age wise, and I have that app...but the pulling up and crawling are in full force, so I was thinking he might just be going through it early? I dunno, but it SUCKS.

His eye looks better, so that's good. The dr on call, who is not the one who saw him Saturday or his regular doc, said to lower the amt and see if that works first. She also said that since it isn't right away and doesn't have other side effects that it's likely ok.
But I think he's teething big time. He's been so fussy all day. He's barely wanted to nurse, just chew on everything.
F decided a 6pm bedtime was it tonight. He has been up three times and it's only 9pm. He only wants to sleep on me. I'm trying to avoid giving him tons of Tylenol but I don't think these teething tablets are helping.
Is he cleared to try Motrin/Advil? I have some mom friends who say it's better for teething than Tylenol. Good luck tonight.

I may need to call and ask about giving ibuprofen now. I gave N some Tylenol earlier because he really looked like he was in pain. He felt warm too. Poor babies.
