Oh my goodness today has been busy! M woke up at 2:30 and even though we both got more sleep it just threw my entire day off schedule. At least I was productive on my lunch break and got most of my Christmas cards addressed.
Hugs to everyone who needs it. I hope all sickness is gone soon.
Is it bad that after one day I'm already thinking this month is going to be crazy!
RIP Bunny She stopped eating and drinking sometime on sunday and passed this am. She was very sweet and patient with her dumb human friends. Miss u Bunny.

This is the first day Jack has kept me running around like a mad woman trying to calm him down. He's usually a very easy going guy. He won't let me put him down, at all. He'll just scream until I pick him back up. I've tried homeopathic teething tabs, teethers, cold wet washcloths, I finally just pulled out the big guns- infant Tylenol. I can see his little tooth buds, I feel so bad for him.
I have been trying to put Elaine down for the past 3 hrs. She falls asleep on me, boob in mouth but the second I try to put her down she screams. I'm ok w letting babies fuss a little when putting to bed but this is screaming! She's never done this before! I'm going to try to put her in the rock n play next. Maybe she needs to be elevated? Has anyone experienced something similar? Maybe an ear ache?

Woof, sorry lemon200, that sounds brutal. Maybe she is just overtired and melting down? I've been riding the line of staying in the same room, rocking a RnP or sitting by the swing and talking to baby in a soothing voice, but ultimately letting them melt down since it's going to happen regardless.
Has anyone else been pulling out hair by the handful lately? I know it's normal, but sheesh! I'm lucky I have thick hair or I'd be as bald as M!
purplegaloshes, Thanks, she went down finally in her Rock N Play which she hasn't been in since she was like 2 months old. I agree with the melt down but she was screaming like she was in pain. It was so sad. My little baby!
Thank you everyone for the hugs and support. You are an awesome bunch of ladies! We're working on better ways for DH to deal with his stress. And I definitely think counceling is going to happen. Thanks for letting me vent!
M has been super fussy tonight as well and its just not like him. He apparently had a meltdown at my dad's which he's never done before. I'm hoping he sleeps well tonight, but I'm not counting on it. elizabethnevadaplemon200 I hope both of your lo's are back to normal soon.
ampaints, E had a melt down at my parents' this week too! Maybe it has something to do with the 4 month regression.
I put E down for a nap and then went to drive my sister home and left my mom with E. When I got back the house was pitch black and E was screaming like I've never heard her scream before, I had a second where I thought maybe my mom had collapsed or something and E was in her crib but I walked to the back of the house and my mom was with her in the dark rocking her trying to get her to calm down. She had taken off all of her clothes thinking maybe something was pulling at her but she wouldn't stop screaming. She calmed down once I held her but it was kind of freaky. I think my mom felt really bad because she couldn't get her to stop crying. She's been fussy since then.
Hugs to everyone. It sounds like we have had a generally rough day. I hope everyone can get some mind clearing and body healing rest tonight both big and little people.
I just want to cry. 2 year old DD is regressing. From completely potty trained to peeing wherever. From speaking better than her brother to grunts, pointing, and whining. I don't know what to do. This isn't normal, right?
purplegaloshes yes, I'm losing soooo much hair. It's stressful (which probably doesn't help). I lose a ton when I wash my hair so I only wash it every 3 days and wear it up lots, but then on "wash day" I get major anxiety about the whole process. It's been like this for at least 5 weeks now. I keep thinking, okay if it stops now I can still manage... But it's not stopping. Waaaah. I've always had thinner hair, so I can't afford to lose much more.
purplegaloshes and queenb I'm with you on losing hair. It's coming out in huge bunches. Everytime I run my hands through my hair or wash it I'm filled with anxiety about how much is going to be in my hand. Plus walt always has it in his hands or on his clothes and I'm worried about it wrapping on a finger or something. I'm so over it.
@aliam20, not sure if you were around when I posted but I just went thru that with C. To the point we had to get an ultra sound to check the fluids. creepy internet hugs and t&p's for normal head sizes, staying calm, and getting out of your funk.
htuzzi324, I feel like dd is regressing also with her sleep habits. I keep telling myself that she is still adjusting to the new baby. Maybe that's what's up with your dd. Hang in there, fx it's just a phase.
