J gave me a 7 hour stretch last nigh5. I slept 5.5 hours of it which felt great. I'm feeding him now before I leave. I'm nervous for me, him, and dh.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, but I moved M's bedtime routine up by half an hour and tried putting her into her pnp still drowsy and she fell asleep in her own in the pnp! AND slept 7 hrs in there! That is like a double miracle because she has never gone to sleep without being rocked and has never slept in her pnp for more than two hours in a row!

Yay for sleeping babies! My M isn’t being so kind these days 😉
Omg I just called for a new surgery date and the scheduling lady is trying to tell me Feb 5th???? Wtf. I said there is no way I can wait that long so left a message with the nurse’s line. What a joke

Well we all made it. I went to work and made it through the day. It was good seeing my kids even though 1 puked, 2 went home with lice, and 1 home with scabies. Basically, welcome back lol.
DH said he and j were good. I got photos throughout the day and DH survived a poosplosion on his own so yay!

Holy heck that is amazing! I'm so glad she put herself to sleep and slept 7 hours. The only time j puts himself to sleep is if he is laying with us then I transfer him over

Going to cry. The nanny we offered a job to last week (and she accepted) just sent us a message today being like “so I started a nanny job two weeks ago- are you guys interested in doing a nanny share with this family? I’d pick N up and drive him to the other kids house every day and drop him off at the time you need.” WHAT?! No!!!! Wtf. So we called her and basically she said she’s going to stay with that family then instead of coming to work for us like she had agreed to. So we are two weeks out from me starting back at work at NO FUCKING NANNY.
So fucking upset. I can’t deal. And this kid won’t sleep long stretches anymore. I’m so tired.
ETA: this is the second childcare option we hired that has backed out on us now. So much for starting our search back in October and securing something then 😒😒😒

Ohhh addymac I am so sorry you had yet another naby flake out on you. How people can be so unreliable is beyond me - esp in childcare. I hope a miracle nanny will show up .... You deserve a mary poppins by now! What will happen if you dint find a nanny in time? 😕

Oh no addymac! That's so horrible of her to back out on you. I know people have to make a living but that's still so very frustrating of her. I wouldn't be comfortable with a nanny share at this age either. I'm sure you guys have looked at everything so sorry if this is annoying but have you looked at smaller, in-home daycares (still licensed by the state). That's what we use and we love it and it's cheaper, but I guess your main problem is late/irregular hours which makes a nanny more practical. king26 So glad your first day went well! cali It must be so nice to be done with school

addymac, wtf? That is a real shit thing for her to do. I'm so sorry. I hope you can find something soon. I must have missed your post that the in home daycare you originally picked didn't work out either! How frustrating!

addymac I'm sorry. That's so frustrating! I hope you can find someone else soon. So J had a bad night. We are on wake up number 3. I got him back to sleep by holding him once but the other 2 times I feed hum. He's so congested and I don't think he's feeling well. Should I be worried that's he had 2 days of diarrea and his tummy seems upset today too?

D is on nap strike today it seems. Urgh! So I ended up installing myself on the couch and watched xmas movie on netflix while she slept. Seeing her sleep and be so comfi and cosy did make my mama heart swell (even of my back is killing me and I am parched lol). So MH brought in a potted miniature pinetree from the garden since he knows I always like to have a xmas tree even if it is a teeny one, and he had noticed I hadn't even talked about a tree yet. I grabbed our xmas stuff from the attic yesterday and halfassed decorated it. It may be tiny but it is still cute. Can you spot it on the pic lol? Told ya it was tiny! 😂🎄

I had a good weekend trip visiting the in laws. A did really well, even tho he’s been so congested and coughing a lot. I feel so bad for the little guy. 😪
So of course he hasn’t been sleeping at all because he can’t breathe well, even though we try to clear his sinus out before bed. I’m so exhausted, I’m barely functioning. All I want to do is lay in bed and sleep for a couple days.

addymac so much rage for you. I would be so pissed. Sorry you are going through this. Yay for sleeping babies! My little guy has been doing pretty good. We aren’t done with the leap so I won’t get too excited, but I’ll take it. king26 glad you first day went well!
