M has her first real cold and it's so sad. I feel so bad for her. She is so congested and has a cough. She also threw up her entire bottle before bed. I wish I knew how to make her feel better!

Sorry your girls are sick cali jt2378 so we’re on vacation. I hate that even though I’m with N all freakin day I have to pump all day bc DH and my mil want him around instead of me being able to take him to our room to BF. And dH is being so whatever about his naptimes- he went 4.5 hours between waking up and naptime and he was so tired this evening. It’s going to catch up and he’s going to be a disaster soon and they’re talking about how we can do a whole pool day tomorrow and beach day Friday and I’m like what?? He won’t nap when we are out anymore bc he loves looking around at new things AND he can’t be in the sun/ heat for that long! What is wrong with you people??? And I feel crazy / like a party pooper bc I’m the only one that thinks differently. Like ugh. I also just want one night of uninterrupted sleep. One night! And MIL said we should go out on a date while we are here. I told DH to find a restaurant and pick a night..... so far.... nothing. Ok awesome. Thanks dude. 😒😔 Sorry I’m a downer right now.

addymac that is frustrating. I hope they start listening to you. My family started with us when I said j goes down every 2 hours of being awake and I pretty much said either he naps or we just won't come visit. It's not worth it when they are tired and sleep deprived

addymac, I’m sorry and that is so annoying. YH needs to understand vacation with a baby is a whole different ballgame. Omg to you having to pump because they don’t want you to take him away to feed him?! Shut that shit down, you shouldn’t have to be chained to the pump because of something so ridiculous. I’m ragey for you!

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 😂 Yes to not sitting still when trying to change him! Plus he is getting to big for the pop changing station so that doesn’t help!

H slept a little better last night. I unintentionally let him cry a little longer than I normally do when he first woke Which was only 40 minutes after I put him down. I felt bad, but I was watching a show and waiting for commercials! When I got up 10 minutes later he was fast asleep and slept until our idiot dog started barking at 1am.

addymac That it's so not cool that they won't let you take your baby to a room to breastfeed!! Totally insane. I'd say do it anyway, but I know it's harder when you're actually in the situation. cali. I hope m is better soon. It's so hard when they are sick. This winter has been brutal. jt2378 baby h twists alot on the changing pad. It helps if I give him a binky or teething toy because then he's distracted. cwbh928 yay for better sleep! That's a nice surprise that he put himself back down I caught the three year old's stomach virus and it's hitting me alot harder than it hit him. I'm lying in bed just getting up to pump. Plus the three year old had me up half the night holding him. I feel like I could sleep a week straight and still feel tired.

addymac, that's ridiculous. You should just take him to feed him when you want to. He's your child and it's not like it takes hours. People forget what it's like to have a baby. thinkchocolate05, I'm sorry you're sick. That sounds awful. I hope it passes quickly. M seems to be a little better but now I feel a cold coming on myself. Not surprising since she's been coughing in my face and sticking her hands in my mouth every chance she gets. I'm so over winter. I'm also cursing my SIL because she gave us this cold. She brought my niece to my mom's house on Saturday when we were all there and my niece had a horrible cold, she was snotting and coughing and sneezing all over. SIL kept saying "don't worry it's just teething" and her and my mom were acting like I was OTT because I didn't want them sharing toys. Well I guess teething is contagious now since we're both sick and M hasn't been around anyone else. 😑 I mean, I know kids get sick and you can't stop your life every time they have a cold but at least be considerate and try not to spread it and don't pretend it's teething. On a happier note, I signed M up for swim lessons today. We start next week. I'm excited to have something outside the house to do with her because I've been getting so stir crazy! Hopefully we're both better by then.

Still catching up but I just saw the talk about loveys. I think M might need one because lately whenever I'm putting her to sleep she wraps her arms around my hand and cuddles it like you would a teddy bear or something. Makes it super difficult for me to escape once she's asleep. Maybe if she had a lovey she'd use that instead? What are the rules with those? Is it ok for them to sleep with or do you take it away once they're asleep?

As far as the lovey, I get a little paranoid when she has the little blanket part near her face and move it but don’t actually take it out. I mean they say nothing till like a year old but that seems a little unrealistic.

I mean they say nothing till like a year old but that seems a little unrealistic. Our pediatrician told us to give him a lovey to snuggle for when he wakes up motn and we don’t go get him bc she recommended to cry it out. She said it was fine. I read the nothing til a year thing so I haven’t done a lovey yet but I think as soon as we stop swaddling we will introduce a lovey. I think it should be ok but wtf do I know? 🤷🏻♀️

addymac, please shut that down. You need to take control over this, because ultimately it’ll be you dealing with a overtired, cranky baby. And I say you find a restaurant and have that date night! It’ll be good for you and YH. cali, I’m with you. You can’t control every sick person who comes your way, but they should have consideration for you and the baby. I hope it goes through quickly! Because of all the extra mucous, expect more spit up than normal. 😕 thinkchocolate05, sorry you’re not feel well!

We did both arms out with the swaddle last night. It didn’t seem worse, I mean he still woke up 5 times, but it wasn’t any worse. Lol

He has had two amazing naps today, each a little over two hours. I’m so happy. I snapped at DH this morning bc I was so tired and just done with everything. He got to go relax and play golf this afternoon. When do I get some alone time?? Yes N took a 2hr nap but a) I wasn’t expecting it so I didn’t shower or nap, I chatted with my MIL and messed around on my phone, plus I was still “on”. I wanted to get a manicure but it seems like a pipe dream. Oh well. I got a nice nap in this morning so I guess that’s my alone time 😏
Today I was just like oh he woke up and needs to eat? Bringhim to me. End of discussion. Sometimes I feel weird being so forceful with dH but 🤷🏻♀️ Its harder around my mil but I’m working on it. Sometimes having to go pump is nice though- I hand N off and I get to be alone for 20min 😂

So j has pooped 4 times today so I guess things are moving again. However he refused his 4th nap and cried for 30 minutes before we picked him up. He's been up over 3 hours so I hope he sleeps tonight. Bedtime is at 7

She has been waking twice at night instead of once ugh. She has a cough and is hoarse, like no voice so I hope it’s just that or maybe leap. She is doing 360’s moving herself around on the floor! I’m not ready for this yet 😬

Oh and DH took J to the dermatologist again today. They said his eczema is looking so much better and that rash is viral. They knew as soon as they looked. I wish we had gone there first.

You deserve an hour to yourself That was my plan but so far it hasn’t worked out. I doubt it will this trip to be honest. Oh well. Maybe next week. DH has two weeks of vacay, this week and next, so I get one more week of him helping more. Of course he somehow threw his back out today, playing golf I think, and is in agony so his mom is babying him and im over here like 🙄 trying hard not to throw something at his head.

Well except the toddler peeing but DD usually has some crisis when J has an explosion. Tonight I almost put him down but thankfully H saw the telltale wet mark on his back. So instead we had a screaming infant who we had to change and bath and a toddler already in pjs trying to climb in the tub fully clothed...

yellowcat, yes, I actually use a humidifier every night because I feel like my room is especially dry in winter. She still sleeps in the pnp though, so no real way to prop the mattress. A couple nights this week I've ended up putting her in the co-sleeper next to me with the wedge pillow under it to prop her up and it helped but she's really too big for the co-sleeper and I get nervous she's going to roll out, so I only do it as a last resort!
