pennylane Now that you have shingles, does that mean you can’t get the vaccine? Isn’t there a vaccine that they give seniors now?

I prepared way too much food last night since it was only the two of us, but I was happy to get back to cooking party food. DH and I used to entertain so much when DS1 was younger, I really miss it. The kids all fell asleep way too late and E had one wake up, but thankfully DH is off for a few days so he can take over. Have to lesson prep for the week, but other than that, it shouldn't be too bad of a week. I did way too much party food too lol. I also miss it. We used yo entertain at least once a month but now we rarely do. I love food so, what did you make? I made some old favorites - spinach artichoke dip and buffalo chicken dip, plus a pepperoni pizza garlic bread dip that has been showing up on my fb feed from those videos and a jalapeno bacon cheddar cheese monkey bread. And we also had wings lol. That's overload. What did you make? =D

In what may be a miracle- both of my kids slept most of the night! I was up with them each one time. Omg though, the shingles rash and pain is on my one boob and pumping it is so so awful. 😭 Pumping is the worst to begin with so this sounds so miserable! I’m sorry

However, just recently a vaccine commercial mentioned that it could be given even after having the shingles.

I had shingles in college and I still have some postherpetic neuralgia =( I hope you get better soon! Can't send you hugs because those were painful as f*, so just well wishes.

The vaccine wouldn't reduce the risk of subsequent flare ups in the future so I don't see the point in getting it. That's just my opinion though.

Yep, DH got excited but asked his doctor and was told it’s pretty much pointless. So he doesn’t see the point either. He has accepted that he will have to live with the flare ups for the rest of his life.

The toddler is killing me lately! He doesn’t know how to be quiet! For a child that weighs barely anything, he walks around like an elephant! It drives me nuts when the baby is trying to nap!
DH and I are ready to start slee training this weekend! H is starting to accept the pacifier so I figured now is a good time to get him to soothe with it. I’m nervous (even though I have done it before) and hopeful. We started later with my first.

My poor guy hasn't pooped in 6 days and has been grunting so much he is turning purple the last 2 days. He hasn't had this much trouble in over 2 months. He woke up this last time, I tried to feed him, he turned away, grunted like 5 times, and started bawling. He then turned and just hugged my neck. I'm holding him now while he tries to sleep but every few minutes he grunts and turns a red purple color. We've tried juice and the rectal thermometer but no luck.

That helps get things moving sometimes. Feed him some pears too. M poops multiple times a day and hasn’t yet today. I’m scared of how that’s going to be when she does 😬

king26 the time baby h got really constipated, I lined the changing pad with a plastic bag and then took his clothes off and set him on his tummy on the changing pad (I think this was after a warm bath too). It took about five minutes of him on his tummy and then it all came out.

happyfeet9 omg all that food sounds so good holy crap. I had to work at 7 for the superbowl so we got pizza and guac and I stuffed my face before going to work haha I'm so hungry all the time lately. breastfeeding/pumping and going back to work, benign my feet running around all day I'm starving all the time. I was hungry when I woke up to feed N in the MOTN, when I woke up before breastkfast, ate waffles and a bagel, still hungry. had a BLT for lunch, still hungry. pennylane, LT for the sleeping but 😞 for the pain. I'm so sorry. king26, prune juice? idk. tummy massage? I hope he poops soon, poor kiddo. I do love that he just hugs your neck and nuzzles in. N sort of does that a LITTLE, but then he grabs my hair and yanks so it just hurts me 😞 cwbh928, good luck w ST!! jt2378, N was actually okay - I think he was just so tired. the hour time change means he was up til 1030 omg but he slept 10:45 - 2am, fed, then up at 4;30 but DH put him back down, and then eat at 6:40. then slept til 9am. so not awful. right now he just went down for his first nap at 1:30. he had been up since 9am. I am not pleased but hopefully he will get a good nap in. We went to the pool, he was already ready for a nap bu the Tim we got there 😞 but he refused to nap bc everything was new! exciting! different! so he had fun in the water but wasn't as smiley as we had hoped. its okay. we will do better getting to the pool quicker after he wakes up tomorrow. Here's a pool pic:

So M has had 2 shit naps like 30 mins each so far today and has been a clingy cranky mess and wants to live on the boob so maybe growth spurt on top of leap. Yay!
Of course right after I posted she pooped and went through the onesie. This happened right as the toddler decided to pee her pants all over the floor. Aaahhh
Also anybody else’s kid twisting every which way on the changing pad? Omg it’s like a joke trying to get her diaper on 😂

A has been super wiggly when I’m trying to change his diaper. I’ve been strapping him in lately, because I’m nervous he’s going to flip himself out. addymac, so cute! Even though he wasn’t smiling, he looks like he’s enjoying the water!

GDI. I had the baby down for a nap on my lap and someone knocked on the door making the dog go ballistic and the baby wakes up. Grrrr. It was someone looking to paint houses and we don’t own.
I need to get one of those no soliciting signs.

I’m nervous (even though I have done it before) and hopeful. We started later with my first. What type of sleep training are you going to do? We are starting on Sunday and I’m at a loss on what one I should try. I used the Ferber Method with my first. I will admit I modified it at first and was picking him up. It didn’t work so I went back to the principles. I would lay him down after I nursed. He would cry and I would comfort check in intervals. 5 minutes, 10 minutes 15 minutes, etc until he would cry for 30 minutes straight. Then I would pick him up and start again. Each night I would push the time back, so night 2 - I went in after 10 minutes, then 15, etc. I would by night 3 he was down to 20 minutes and by night 5 he was sleeping TTN. There were hiccups, but consistency is key. I will most likely give Ferber a try this time.

I’m nervous because it’ll all be new to him that first time. New room, crib, routine will change up. I foresee a very sleepless night. ETA. And we will be coming back from a weekend in the mountains too. Seems like a lot at once.

She was waking like every hour or two in my bed and wanting to nurse all night and it went surprisingly well right from the beginning. The first night she slept till like 4:00am! Last night was the first awful night since we started like almost 2 weeks ago.

He was in pnp in our room at night, rnp in living room for naps. We did night first with routine, his room, his crib. After a week it was going well so we started naps. His naps are mostly 40 minutes long but he is usually asleep within 5 minutes now. Nights have been good until the last 2 but I think it's the constipation

So j ended up bawling again and when I checked his diaper he had a rock hard poop stuck in his butt. I got in the tub with him and after 10 minutes a marble size came out. He just did the crying again an hour ago so I gave more juice. He managed to get a very green and very hard poop out. Not much but hopefully enough Thu o open the flood gates. He seems happier now so hopefully he will sleep better
