Wednesday all about Wednesday

spikesmom - your nanny is a jerk. Mommy guilt is real, you are doing awesome and LO is young and he will adjust. He will also enjoy interacting with other kids his age. Don't listen to her. You are doing what is best for all of you.

Halloween costume, we have nephew's old dinosaur costume, so cute! Idk if it will fit. So Iay hit up carters.

Damn autocorrect

spikesmom What you describe last night is often what goes on in our house. For fear of LO waking up before falling solidly asleep, she cuddles or I hold her (it's all the same) and I end up snoozing until 12:30/1am. Then up to pump and prep for the next morning.

Hello ladies! I'm trying to get caught up on here, but I am so behind. Then I try to post, but it takes me like five hours to write a post between work and the kiddos.

I had a great meet up with my friend last night and her hubby and little girl. It was the first time I met their daughter and that they met my children. I'm sad that they are going back home today.

Our oldest turns five tomorrow. I'm in shock that it has been five years. I keep thinking about the things we did before his arrival five years ago at this time. It makes me want to go back and live those short, fleeting moments again. I wish it didn't go by so fast!

Thank you ladies, I needed to hear your words of encouragement tonight. I know we are doing the right thing for our family but man is it hard. I do think that being around the other kids will be really good for him.

So for everyone who is having a hard time getting their baby out of their bed I was having the same issues. A few days ago I told you guys how Allison was getting scared of the crib and crying every time we went near it. I started getting in the crib with her and patting her on the back and chest. I can say that after only a few days I can put her in the crib and she just falls asleep! I wish I never did cry it out. It made her scared and didn't work for us. I'm feeling a lot less stressed over our sleeping situation. My husband agrees

Hey gals! Late to the party today...I actually had to work at work
spikesmom sorry your nanny is making you feel bad, that's awful! He will definitely like being around the other kiddos, I know my lo does!

Haven't even thought about lo's bday other than the fact I don't think I can do it at our house because it's so small. Maybe at my mom's.
Not sure what lo will be for Halloween, wish I could borrow a costume like you songbirdsinging55! They are pretty expensive to just wear once and I am definitely not crafty enough to make one. Maybe my mom would! ( are u seeing a pattern here? thank god for my mom)

Guys, my lo will. not. stop. biting. It's so bad. When I got home from work today she was pulling at my shirt and really wanting to nurse and she was on for maybe 30 seconds and bit me so hard I started bleeding. I just feel so discouraged, I hope she will stop soon.

@jax182014 yay for sleep!! I haven't even thought of getting in the crib with her, I guess I'm afraid it wouldn't hold me. That's a great idea tho!

zengal she is teething, although it seems to be ongoing. Over the weekend I gave her some Tylenol and it seemed to help with the biting a bit. Yesterday the only time she wouldn't bite is when she was basically asleep and I pulled her paci out and stuck my boob in. I have tried stopping the nursing session and telling her no but she usually giggles at me

I was thinking of contacting a lactation consultant tomorrow to see if they have any suggestions

Just checked out Kellymom and got some good ideas. Her latch has gotten bad so we need to work on that and I need to try giving her a teething toy instead if she starts to bite.... I wish these other teeth would just come in already!

[ninergirl52]

I just wanted to weigh in on your nanny Spikemom! She is COMPLETELY out of line to make you feel guilty. My guess is she just thinking about herself and her job. It's selfish and mean to make you feel that way. You're doing the best you can!!

[spikesmom]

Thank you all for the support! I'm pretty frustrated that she is saying these things but its only two more days and I am making my H do drop offs
