oopsiedaisies Target always used to be my go to. With three it is no longer fun. And it was a little pricey to always go to Target (I have no self control). But we always 'needed' at least one thing like toilet paper or diapers or something.
It's 5:15am. I haven't really gotten a lot of sleep. I wanted to go for a run before DH left for work, but I'd also love another hour or two of sleep. Decisions decisions...
We just slept from 11:30 to 6! First normal sleep night where she fell asleep same time as me and then woke up at a reasonable hour. Woo!
One of my friend's girlfriend is 24 weeks pregnant and just went into preterm labor. They are at the hospital still, looks like she'll be there for a bit longer. They were able to stop the contractions for now. Poor thing.
My girl is up every hour from 1 on. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, she was a great sleeper and now it's all turned to shit.
You aren't doing a thing wrong, that's just how babies roll! No worries, it'll change back before you know it, and then back again. We can only control so much, ultimately babies just do what babies are gonna do. It helps me to accept this fact. Hope tomorrow night is better!

For the record - I am liking the sleep part not he preterm labor part. Hope everything turns out great for your friend! FX for her.
This is my last week with H home. He got 6 weeks off, which has been awesome. I told him it's only right for him to do all middle of the night duties since in one week they will fall to me every time (I hope he doesn't think I was joking haha)
DS1 has come to our room the last 2 nights to sleep - DNW. Especially since DS2 is in there. I need at least 1 child to sleep soundly.
DS2 did sleep wonderfully last night - which means we are probably in for a crap night tonight. He was down at 11 (that took a lot of effort) and up at 6 from a coughing attack - which leads me to - we are on week 3!!! of this virus (RSV). He is doing MUCH better. Eating normally, keeping it down, no longer congested in his nose but at night (mainly) he will have long coughing fits which sound terrible. We do the nebulizer 3 to 4 times a day but I'm not seeing progress beyond what we already progressed to. We follow up with our Pedi again this week - I hope he improves more before that!
Andddd my last random - starting back at the gym today. Half excited, half terrified of the soreness that will follow!
My girl is up every hour from 1 on. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, she was a great sleeper and now it's all turned to shit.
My girl did this too. H works overnights and I'm so tired. I'm supposed to take a board exam all day later this week. At this point, there is no way in heck that's happening.

Went to the gym and did day one of c25k yesterday. I felt great afterwards. My WHOLE body aches so badly today! I expected to be sore but this is a bit much!

Goodness gracious. Can you postpone?[/quote]
It is only offered once a year. I can forfeit all the $$ and lose the time, which is not ideal but my kid isn't sleeping enough right now to be able to take a 9.5 hr exam and pass.

I have a dr appointment this morning and need to take both boys. Eeeek! I have done trips out with both but asking DS1 to sit still while I have my appointment? Yeah not sure how that going to go.
We never got that 2nd offer. I guess the person interested wants to check with the city to make sure it's rentable. It is and we advertised it that way but I guess he doesn't trust us? This interested party are parents looking for a house for their daughter while she goes to school. I'm guessing they'll rent it after she graduates. Fx an offer comes through today.

This is my last week of maternity leave. If we can't get him into daycare I will only be working part time and watching him during the majority of the day. But as soon a spot opens up at his daycare I go back to full time and I don't know how I'm going to respond.

Well, after 5 glorious weeks of paternity leave DH is headed back to work today ::sad trombone:: it's been awesome having him here, I'm sad! Today DD has a checkup, then I have some errands to run. Here's hoping today goes smoothly!
Caught up with good friends yesterday and it was much needed.dd1 didn't sleep last night and ended up in my bed and Ds was up every 1.5 hours. I am so tired but got dd off to daycare.
My girl is up every hour from 1 on. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, she was a great sleeper and now it's all turned to shit.
This is me too. She was sleeping like 5-8 hour stretches and last night she was up every 3, which still isn't terrible but I could have used the 5 hours especially since my toddler slept.

kaeguri, fx for your friend. Medical technology is amazing and I saw 24 weeker nicu grads who are the cutest and most normal looking kids ever. Hoping she makes it a couple more months, of course.
seeca022, boo for RSV. Hoping baby feels better ASAP.

I have a friend from my wedding month board who has been TTC for awhile and she has egg issues from chemo a few years back. After 3 unsuccessfully IUIs with frozen sperm since her H is deployed she went to visit him and is now KU and gets to cancel her IVF scheduled for next month. I'm so excited for her!
smore I hope today isn't too tough and passes quickly.
Hugs too everyone needing sleep, hopefully there's a nap in your future!
I'm feeling tired the morning but it's because I had insomnia. That's just not fair with an infant!
I've decided I'm going to actually finish the nursery this week and maybe try to move Miles in there this weekend. 2months old is an appropriate time to finish the nursery, right? I've got to get some frames, put up a decal, and organize the closet a little more. I've also decided I do want a video monitor even though our house is small. So now yup research those sms decide which to get.
ampaints, I've had a lot of people recommending Summer Brand to me saying that their customer service is awesome! I have the Clear Sight video one and have had no issues!
Today I'm going to my Salsa Babies class and I'm soooo excited! We practiced wearing the Ergo last night and she didn't seem to mind it!

Baby was awake from 8pm to 3:30am last night. Whhyyyyyyy??? How is it possible for him to stay awake that long yet? He slept for three hours then woke up ravenous. Fell back asleep after he ate for another hour then woke up and wanted to eat again. Kid. Get it together. I'm tired.

Good luck at the doctors appointment! I've had to take DS to Mia's appointments- the first one was a disaster and then I learned to bring his leap pad! Second one went much smoother. Wishing you luck!

Random question but does anyone know of any pre-prepared food delivery services. My mom is recovering from a stroke and dad is her only caregiver. She has been homebound for two years now- can't walk. He is very very stubborn asking for help. They have been getting take out a lot! I want to find something healthier for them that can be delivered weekly. Blue apron wouldn't work because dad has zero cooking skills (I mean zero)! Any ideas?
