DD had a few incidents like that too, like she was ashamed and embarrassed. But it was few and far between enough and she hasn't had an accident for quite a while now. Congrats for the overall potty training success
[/quote] Thank youuuu!!! It's been a longgg time coming. She will be 4 in 2 days. Of all the things I never really got until I became a parent, PT was #1 on the list. Never ever would've thought I'd have a kid wearing diapers/pull ups at that age. I am now a 100% firm believer that it will happen when THEY decide they are ready. And everyone that has a young one that was PT before hitting 2 hit the mother freaking lottery lol.
I LOL'ed mrsmonogrammed - our 9 month shoot went just about as well this AM! Happy 9 months, June 15/15 babies!
I'm not looking forward to trying to get DS to stay still later tonight!
Also, the way you numbered June 15/15 made me think of this random - we got married 5/12/12. DS was born 6/15/15. Is it bad that I would actually really, really love to have potential baby #2 be born 7/17/17? Like, legit thinking about trying to convince H that we should try to push for an embryo transfer whatever month would give us a July due date, and then try to schedule a repeat c-section for the 17th (I'm fairly certain that I'll be doing a repeat CS regardless).
Except then I realize how crazy soon we'd have to start planning for that embryo transfer, and I think I'd settle for any 17/17 date. Or just a healthy baby, really, before you guys think I'm too far off the deep end
Accomplished today's goal of getting rid of the Girl Scout cookies that have been sitting on my desk. I hadn't really planned to just eat the rest of the box for breakfast but I'm still considering it an accomplishment since they can no longer tempt me.
Creative problem solving. I like the way you think.

Whoops, I just noticed that it was the 15th because you mentioned it. Haha. Happy 9 months to my LO as well in that case. It's clearly still too early here and I haven't had coffee yet.
Kristykristyleelee, good luck! That's an awful lot to have on your plate.
We're more than half way through Impetigo Exile. I'm currently in nap jail, my mum will be arriving in about 20 minutes for an hour or so, after which it will almost be the end of the day, and then there's only tomorrow to go. The days definitely seem longer when we can't do any of our usual activities!
I took L to the playground this morning. She seems to enjoy the swings more every time. She was laughing her head off this morning.
Widget123 we need to start night potty training. DS has been potty trained OVER A YEAR and still wears a diaper to bed. A lot of this is due to the fact that he was in a crib up until a few months ago, so I didn't want to expect him to hold it all night and not be able to get out of bed to go if he had to.
Anyway, what do I need to do to prepare? Get water proof sheets? Any other tips? DS never ever has day accidents, I don't think he has ever peed his pants in his life, but he always wakes up with a wet diaper.
Happy Tuesday everyone. I'm working at home today because our sitter's daughter had another seizure last night. It usually takes about 24 hours for her to get back to feeling normal, so no DC for us today. I'm still in pajamas and don't plan to get dressed anytime soon. Sorry to all the ladies who had rough nights last night, ours wasn't any better. Please oh please top teeth come in soon, mama needs some sleep.

I hope everyone's days get better!
Husband is home with baby again today, and he plans to take her to a brewery in the brewery branded onesie grandparents got for her before she was even born. We had planned to take her before, but never got around to it, luckily baby is on the smaller side and still fits into her 3-6 month onesie, but it seriously should be retired after today!
I am taking tomorrow off to watch baby and possibly make something for the St Patrick's Day party at work on Thursday. Is anyone else doing anything for St Paddy's Day, want to give me ideas?

I don't know how much you can do in this situation other than limit liquid intake as much as possible the hour or so before going to bed and using the potty 1-2 X before going to bed? DD was the exact opposite; she had been having a dry diaper overnight well before becoming potty trained during the day. Good luck!
It's a rainy one here and I don't feel like doing much, but my to do list is like a mile long. I've got a case of the blahs today.
Today is our 8th wedding anniversary - almost 11 years total together. Crazy how time flies!! We will be celebrating on Saturday at a fancy steak house. So looking forward to it!

I'm kind of kicking myself because for the first few months he always woke up dry, but now it's like he knows he has on a diaper and has gotten into the habit of being able to go. Like I said, he never has day accidents so I'm thinking maybe it won't take him long to figure out he doesn't want to wake up in a wet bed. I need to just suck it up and do it. Not looking forward to the laundry.

Day 3 of tummy bug for LO here. So much poop, yall I can tell she's hungry and wants to eat but eating is upsetting her even more so she's just a crabby patty. It has not deterred her activity level at all though, if anything she seems to be climbing on everything non-stop the past two days, she thinks can stand but really can't quite yet. Poor thing just keeps falling over and I can't keep up with her to catch her every time. She wants that damn DVD player SO badly.
Dunkin run for coffee because I woke up and there was none in the house. And I was at the grocery yesterday. Huge fail. Monstrous.
::passes coffee to all the mommas in need this morning::
Grocery shopping and a Target run are on our agenda today. Tomorrow is picture day at DC so I'll be trying to figure out her outfit, which may require a shopping trip. Maybe. Probably.
Zara baby has the cutest baby girl clothes right now. Hope you find a nice outfit!
I just sent a Zara package to our friends who had a baby girl last week. I love their boy stuff but good lord the girl stuff is beyond adorable. For anyone who's never ordered from them they do such a nice job on packaging shipments. It's like free gift wrap.

Sorry to all the moms who still have sick and non-sleeping LO's. I've been completely MIA the last week. I feel like I missed a lot here! O's influenza progressed to pneumonia and he's been ridiculously sick. Both older girls are now hacking and fevered and I spent the weekend with a migraine. Fun times! Vent over. I'm going to try and catch up on here now...
Ugh. I thought we were finally rounding a corner in eating solids. Yesterday I gave him some pureed lentils and he ate several bites. I would say the absolute most he eats at one sitting is a teaspoon total, and that's about what he ate yesterday. I was happy and thinking maybe we were getting somewhere. Then last night I tried avocado and he gagged so hard he almost threw up. This morning my mom tried to give him some applesauce and he vomited everywhere. I don't know what to doooooo

Ugh prettymama36 I hope you all catch a break and start feeling better. I cannot imagine all of that at the same time. Caring for sick children with a migraine is just... I feel for you. Lots of hugs and sending well wishes for LO.

Have you thought of skipping purées and going straight for table food? I only suggest it because it sounds as if purées aren't working. Give him a biggish chunk of something reasonably textured, like toast or a carrot stick, and let him chew. He might do better if he's in control. He probably won't ingest much to start with, but it should come surprisingly quickly.
I know feeding issues can be terribly worrying. I was terrified for weeks because L doesn't let us spoon feed her. She still isn't keen on fruit or veg, but I'm sure she'll make progress when she has teeth. Your little one will get there, too.

I started with BLW and completely skipped purees. I had to give up because he wasn't able to swallow even the smallest chunk and would gag/choke. He used to be able to gnaw on pizza crusts or big slices of cucumber, etc. but can't even do that anymore because he bites off HUGE chunks and gags until he vomits. I'm just at a loss. Just when I think he's taking a step in the right direction, we take two steps back. At this point DS was eating all sorts of table foods so it's hard to have it be a challenge this time.

holliberry28, March is just super busy right now. This month I've got: 1 trial 1 settlement conference 1 deposition 1 appellate brief 3 hearings 9 motions 3 birthdays 2 baseball practices 4 baseball games 1 race 1 dinner party 2 roadtrips 1 airplane trip
How does M do now with going out to eat? Have you done it recently? Does he cry the whole time? Stranger anxiety comes and goes, so I don't know if there's a guarantee he won't be in it again by the time his birthday rolls around.
veggiemo - do you have any of the "ultimate crib sheets" from either kid? With LBB we didn't use them as a baby because he never spit up/blew out, but they were invaluable for night time potty training. Same idea - sheet, ultimate crib sheet, sheet. That way if there's an accident you just strip the top sheet and crib sheet and throw them in the wash without having to remake the bed.

Have you mentioned anything about persistent gagging to ped? That would be the only thing, if anything, I could think to be actually address. Maybe they'd have advice on ways to best intro solids when there's a strong gag reaction. Other than that perhaps just hold off on solids for a bit longer and try again in a few weeks or a month, maybe he'll be more ready then? I know its no news but just for the encouragement that at this point nutrition wise we're still all set with breastmilk or formula.

Wow, you have a lot on your plate! Hope all goes well. M will observe from a safe distance, but if anyone tries to get in his personal space, the crying ensues lol. Sorta like my cats now that I think of it.
Sorry for everyone who is having a rough day. I've been having a lot of vivid pregnancy dreams lately. Thanks for the mini heart attacks in the morning J15. I'm not ready to drink the water yet!

I am pretty sure I am overreacting, but if anyone would like to give me validation I would appreciate it. Baby didn't eat a lot while nursing this morning, and then she only took 3oz (she usually takes more like 5oz) before her morning nap, and didn't want any more when she woke up. She also barely ate any food while doing a solids breakfast. She has been a little sick with a runny nose and small cough for a couple of days, but her fever has seemed to have gone away. It is normal for babies to go through this occasionally, right? Does it sound worthy of a call? Should we just keep watching her? Sorry, I think my FTM is showing here.
Thanks periwinkledaydreams LO has a check up on Friday and I'm definitely going to bring it up. He's not struggling in the weight department so I'm not worried about that. I have been taking breaks from solids here and there since there just hasn't been much interest. Then I get back into it and think he's got it when BOOM. Vomit.
