I'm already looking forward to going out to eat with my parents this evening so I can eat my weight in chips and queso to make up for last night. *yawn*

[aggiebug]

lilyelayne I am drooling thinking about chips and queso. Yum

Sorry it was a rough night.

Going to baby playtime with a lot of other parents has me a little discouraged. Almost all other 7 mo old babies are pulling themselves up, and DD isn't even crawling yet. I know you shouldn't compare and that it's totally normal that she's not crawling at this age, but still I can't help but think I need to encourage her more or something...

Hugs I know what you mean.

My 8.5 month old isn't pulling up or crawling with her stomach off the ground yet. (and she has only been army crawling for a few weeks) It's easy to compare, but when it is just us at the house and I know she is learning her world in her own way and its perfectly normal.

Ladies one of our F 15 gals who suffered a late loss is about to push out a baby. She changed her name from TD but there is a post on O15 cheering her on.

Yeah, I know. It's just silly to think like that, but sometimes I can't help it.

Family commando time. Less to pack and less laundry.

If it makes you feel better, my pedi said crawling is crawling.  Not every baby crawls with their tummy off the ground.  Some do the bear walk, some do the "traditional" crawl and some only ever army crawl like my son.  No way is better than the other

ALL i do is compare. i was just talking about that at work.  These babies that are 2 wks to 1 mo older are doing SO MUCH MORE and have been for a while... let's go kid!!

I could not Mommy last night. I had the worst migraine I've had in months. It was accompanied with chills, a fever and nausea. So I didn't sleep well either. Add to that the fact that we're still bed sharing, and it was a long night. I think it's finally time to move DS to his own crib. I know I'm late to the game, but I just haven't been ready yet. I think I'm finally ready.

dreemkin I know, I love the fact that if I put DD down she stays right where I put her. Parenting is hard.

[hollydfromtn]

We had a 4:00 playtime last night. S slept his longest stretch ever, 6.5hrs, and then was wide awake for an hour. Finally got him back down and he slept for 3 more hours before H went in and WOKE HIM UP to bring him to bed. J always bring S to bed after his last wake up so we can get those sleepy snuggles before H goes to work. Well this morning he was still asleep, so I left him in his crib. H gets up to get ready for work and realizes he's not in the bed. Naturally H decides to go wake him up and bring him in here. WTF H?!? Then he continued to get ready for work while I had to wake up and entertain the babe. Ugh... S probably would have woken up anyway from hearing H fix his breakfast and pack his lunch, but the possibility of more sleep has me a little bitter at the moment.

We also have 2 loss moms in N15 who are getting so close.

Ok I do miss this.... So much baby proofing to do. Why does ds love my shoes so much!!??

[pitdigger]

Things are exciting this morning.

First the cute: G was so ready for his nap that he was sitting with bedtime book 1 open in his lap and crying.

Now the exciting: DH had his overseas interview this morning and they want to try to meet up with us either during our layover or when we're in Rome next month. I'm trying my best not to call DH and pump him for information right now. I had to send over flight details, which is the only reason I know as much as I do.

[cougarette]

DS's cough is much better. And we only have two more rounds of antibiotics to go. Hopefully that ear infection is gone.

Other than that it's picture day at daycare. Actually yesterday was, but N and another baby were napping when the photographer came by, so they're getting them done today. But I liked the shirt he was in yesterday better. #fwp

[cougarette]

That's so annoying, hollydfromtn. Maybe he'll make up for it this weekend!

Totally remember her!

For all those comparing their babies, I had an epiphany about this yesterday. I was listening to my audiobook, which is a biography of Albert Einstein, and apparently he was a very late talker and generally was behind developmentally as a child. And well, it clearly was not an indication of his intelligence or future abilities. It just reminded me that kids do things in their own time. I don't know if that reassures anyone else but it certainly reassured me.

[aggiebug]

kaydee0402 oh gosh I am so sorry you are dealing with a migraine they suck. Majorly.

cougarette I am so glad LO is on the mend I hope he keeps imroving!

go Mr. pitdigger! I hope the interview goes well

[PikoPiko]

Morning all!

DH had some work function last night and stumbled in at 4am. I totally forgot he was doing that. He had a wild Tuesday night and now he's rotting in bed nursing an almighty hangover. "Bread, do we have any? Bread, I need bread". I'm not sure if I should be amused or annoyed.

The other man in my life woke up on the wrong side of the crib, had half his milk then fussed for an hour. I put him back in his crib several times but he cried. Finally I just put him in and walked away. He whined a bit and attempted to pull himself up, failed and went back down to settle for a nap. I don't normally let him nap at 8am, cos we gotta run to daycare, but I noticed he has a chesty cough and wheezing a little bit. Maybe I should take the day off to help him get better. Should I be worried about the wheezing?
