Well. Today is my last day of maternity leave. I was doing fine up until last night when I just bawled rocking L to sleep. I’m trying to enjoy today as much as I can, but I am so sad. I’m having all these guilty feelings like he’s going to be upset that I’m leaving him for so long and I’m still really worried about bottle feeding because it’s going terribly. I’m sorry. I definitely cried when I went back to work with DS1 even though I wanted to - and I highly anticipate doing so this time as well. The guilt is real - but he will be fine and you guys will adjust. I hope you have a good last day of leave.

My baby is a jerk. Last week he slept like an angel and was a terror during the day. Since we adjusted his meds, he has been doing great during the day...and now sleeps like crap at night. WTF kid? Get with the program.
I think he may be going through a growth spurt because he cannot go longer than 2 hours without losing his shit and he acts ravenous at each feeding. I hope it’s over soon bc I was up at 1, and 3, and 5, and 6. I’m tired.
ETA: the little jerk is asleep now. 😭😭😭

Hugs clementine. The first day is so hard but daycare is magic and will work out the bottle situation. Enjoy your day!

We are at D1's third hearing test since she has been unable to finish the last two. She was doing so good for the first portion and of course melts down halfway through. I just want to be done with it.

Those days are so rough polson. When it seems like nothing can go right. I hope the day goes better for you and glad the baby is feeling better.

It's DS1's last day as a 2-year old. He had his last session of ABA therapy this morning, and tomorrow I take him to his first day of preschool. I just finished filling out the last of his enrollment paperwork to send in with him, and it's really hitting me. Hugs, clementine. Thinking of you today and hoping tomorrow goes very smoothly for both of you.

So... I gave her a suppository to help her go. Her poo is thick like peanut butter...LC said it may be a dairy sensitivity. Ped agreed.
I did another sup later in the day and she has mucus in her poo. Fml. It looks like it could be a dairy allergy instead... so it’s being cut out.
Other than that she’s gaining weight and sleeps well.. so I guess I can’t complain too much.

Thanks for all the support, you guys! I’m up and ready except for pants (ugh do not want to put on pants). I slept terribly last night and I know it’s just anxiety, so I’m hoping I can get through this work day with minimal tears.

dd1: where’s baby violet? me: she’s with grandma. i thought we could have some you and me time dd1: but i neeeeed her. i’m pretty sure she was just tired and whining about anything, but my heart melted. i really hope that they get along and become great friends

Thanks for all the love and positive vibes!! Things are going... okay. I was fine dropping him off this morning and he took 2 bottles pretty well, so I was feeling good! And then I went in to nurse him on my lunch at noon and his eyes were so red. I could tell he’d been crying and he looked so sleepy. They said he’d only napped 20 min and he’d been up since 6. He seemed so out of it and not himself and he didn’t even smile when he saw me. And he was doing that strange startle/breathing thing again. So I nursed him and he fell asleep so I kept him with me for a little while longer to let him sleep. I did get a little smile out of him when he woke up though. This is just so hard. I know it’s going to be an adjustment but I hate that he will probably be out of sorts in the meantime. Poor guy. I just want to go down every break I get but I’m sure the teachers and my boss wouldn’t love that. Ugh. Counting down the hours until I get off.

Oh clementine hug to you. That’s rough. I hope the afternoon goes better and he can nap. Is he allowed his own blankets and stuff there? Maybe sleeping with one of his and taking it in tomorrow will help him nap for the first couple days until he’s used to it?
