I was just coming in here to ask about a cough A has. Crazy that a few of you are experiencing the same thing. He woke up with it Friday morning, of course as we are headed out to another state. I wasn’t sure if I needed to contact the pedi, but we won’t be back in town until Monday evening. Hope all of these babies feel better quickly!
He’s so stuffy he couldn’t sleep last night. I thought I grabbed the box with the nose frida, but it was the replacement parts. 🤦🏼♀️ So the poor little guy couldn’t breathe. I’m going to the store to get another one though.
The 9ish hour car ride went really well! He fussed a bit, but nothing I couldn’t handle.

H went out with his mom Christmas shopping. I thought about making cut outs, so they can be decorated tomorrow. H and MIL thought that’d be no problem to do with two kids. Really, I’d just like to shower today. R is rarely pleased to have her picture taken.

Does anyone make chocolate crinkle cookies? I was thinking about doing them this year since I’ve never had them, but I love chocolate. A lot of the recipes use vegetable oil instead of butter. I’ve never used that in a cookie recipe.

I’ve never used that in a cookie recipe. I just looked at all the crinkle cookie recipes on my blog that I've made and they all have vegetable oil. It's one of the only #cookies I've ever made that uses oil. You could use butter but the consistency will be different.

So my DH just wrote me a love letter. I haven't had one in years. It made me crt. It basically said that he loves me and watching me become a mom has been the best. He knows we've been stressed at times but spending the last 4 months together has been great. Then he assures me he and j will miss me on Monday when I go back to work but that they will be fine. I totally needed this.

bsouls such a cutie!! yellowcat ugh I’m sorry. It’s like- here’s a taste of the good sleeping life and now it’s GONE! N was up from 1am - 3am last. I don’t know how to get him to go back to sleep. I couldn’t handle it so at 2 I passed him to DH who dealt with him until he passed out from crying at 3am. I fed him at 1 when he woke up and then it’s like he decided it was time to be awake so hiiiiiii. I just am beside myself. Wtf. I’d rather him go to sleep at like 8pm instead of 6:30 if he’s going to be up any extra two hours in the motn. This regression is brutal. Fuuuuuuudge man.

He is just a pain going to bed and waking up so early. Plus I think he is getting to lose his nap which mean I’ll probably lose my mind and patience! Lol

I am the worse with medication and stuff like that. addymac that is a great idea. I have to give H Zantac so I might try and do both!

Babies/kids are hard on relationships.
R has only been pooping every 36-48 hours. I thought she only pooped a little, but it was all up her back. I think part of the problem is she’s ready to move up to size 3 diapers. H always fights me on moving up, but I think when this box is done that will be doing it.

jt2378 I have the super concentrated stuff now where you only need to give 1 drop a day. I put it on my nipple before her last feed of the night. I never remembered otherwise. muscari hugs. Babies are hard on marriages. Take all the time you need, we'll be here when you're ready.
