king26 I'm glad you know for sure regarding the rash addymac Have you taken N in the water yet? What was his reaction? I second what someone else said that you should plan a date and pick the restaurant you want. Your husband sounds alot like mine, showing almost no initiative with things like that and not taking a hint. I used to think mine was being a jerk but now it seems like he's often truly oblivious, although it's still annoying. I'm still recovering from the bug but I have an urge to clean the house. It's so awful and I never get the chance.

thinkchocolate05 we have! He likes it! I imagine it’s like a huge bathtub for him 🤣 he likes to splash the water and try to drink it (so we gave him his paci even tho we’ve been trying to limit the paci to naps/bedtime) and he loves watching other people in the water while he floats around. I’ll post a few pics! Re: date night. Well my MIL has thrown ribs in the crockpot (HAS SHE NOT HEARD ABOUT THE DANGERS OF CROCKPOTS KILLING MEN A LA THIS IS US?!?) so I don’t think a date night is happening. Honestly I just cannot get it up to remind DH about date night bc I’m so over being in charge of everything. I told him last night. He hasn’t cleaned a single bottle since we got here. He hasn’t done an ounce of clean up from our luggage - everything just exploded out. I folded everything and put it away on the shelves appropriately, made a dirty laundry bag, etc. every night I prepare the diaper bag and beac/pool bag. Last night I pointed it out to him and he was all 😔 about it but then he gets mopey and is all like “don’t hate me. Don’t be mad at me. I love you I’m sorry” and I’m sooooo over it. And I told him. He said he’d do better. Today isn’t looking much better but we will see... I tried to not bf N overnight to see if my body can get started on adjusting if he starts STTN (haha) bc I pumped before bed and got 2 bottles worth of milk. Omg my boobs hurt this morning and were rock hard and I got 18oz out. 18! I was like well that attempt didn’t go well! And I think I gave myself a clogged duct 😒 I just want DH to do a motn feeding and N has been doing only one feeding despite multiple wake ups where we shush him back to sleep. But I guess I’ll have to do the motn feeding bc holy hell my boobs can’t take it!!

Js highchair and humidifier came yoday. I'm excited to build the highchair as I normally have j on my lap when we ear and it gets messy for both of us. However, we've had the exersaucer out for 4 weeks and it still isn't built so I won't hold my breath.
Glad the humidifier is here. J is a snotty, stuffy mess so I hope it helps.

R was fussy today. Not sure if it was the leap or teething. She went to bed at like 5:30, since her naps were crappy. She woke up at 7 crying - I thought maybe it was a nap. But, she just needed to spit up and burp. I put her down on her belly since she kept losing the paci and seemed like she wanted to snuggle.  I love pictures of sleeping babies/kids. I have way too many pictures of T sleeping through the years. They seem so sweet when they’re asleep. |

Now M had a fever, FML. Will my kids ever be healthy?! She had been coughing here and there but the last couple days she sounds hoarse and raspy. I’m so fucking sick of this winter.

addymac, those pics are adorable! Also, we are life twins because I also get stuck doing everything while MH acts clueless and then acts all hurt when I point it out. So frustrating. 🙄 bsouls, she looks so sweet! I love sleeping pics too! jt2378, ugh, I'm so sorry! This winter has been brutal!

Apparently j has decided he doesn't much like sleep again. He's been up at 930, 12, 230 so far. He went back to sleep with his binky at 12 but geez. I'm not starting this every 2 hour thing again. I guess I'm going to have to be tough on him at night this weekend.

bsouls she looks so cute!! And long! I hope she slept better once she was on her tummy. jt2378 omg I’m so sorry M got a fever. I hope it’s gone away and not returned. king26 I hope he slept better for you after you posted. And yes, DH is being SO babied by his mom I’m soooooo over it. Omg lol cali. I’m sorry you understand exactly what I’m going through 😂😭😒 sometimes, I’m just like... men! And I hate to be like oh men bc #notallmen but sometimes DH makes me want to bang my head against the wall. Or rather, his head lol Finally had an awful night here. Bed at 9:40, up at 12:30, 2, 4:15 with a blowout that required an outfit and sleep sack change so he ended up WIDE AWAKE and ready to play 😒, didn’t go back down til close to 5:30, and then 8:10. Just. Woof. So freakin tired.

Ugh addymac I'm sorry it was such a rough nigjt. I hope DH got up and helped you with some if those wake ups. J did go back to sleep after his 230 wake up until 7 so that worked for me. I think maybe he's going throu h a growth spurt because he drank 6 oz. At 230 and he has never had that much at one time. |

king26 oh wow! What a good stretch! I’m glad he settled down. DH did help- N ate at 12:30&4 so I was up for those and DH shushed him back at 2, and then helped me with the blowout at 4:30 and rocked him back to sleep bc he didn’t eat much from my boobs and they were killing me so I could barely hold him close to me to rock him much. Then I got up at 8 to BF. So at least he was helpful.

Today was hudsons first swim class! He loved it! Unfortunately, the timing lines up with his nap, but he was a trooper. I actually think he would have feel asleep in my arms in the water! He loved splashing and falling into the pool!

addymac those pics are just so cute!! He looks so content floating around king26 oh no to worse sleep, but it sounds like a growth spurt with the 6 oz. I feel like every time we get slightly better with sleep, he regresses. The past few nights, he's been wide awake from 4 to 5 am, and I'm just like no baby no. I guess they are changing so fast at this point. I've heard sleep gets better at 6 months. It wasn't true for ds1, but he still rarely sleeps through the night at 3 so I'm holding out hope! This stomach bug won't go away. I ate some soup last night and big mistake so I'm back to water, Gatorade, and plain toast today. I'm a little dizzy today too, so I'm trying to just take it easy. Dh and ds1 went to soccer so I'm holding sleeping baby (not the best for nap training but he was being so cute) and chilling.

thinkchocolate05 oh man. I hope you start feeling much better ASAP. Stomach bugs are the worst!! And snuggling sleeping babies is the best. cwbh928 awww yay! So glad he liked the pool! We took N to the beach and he loved the sand and water! I have a ton of classes to take N to and they always line up with naptime. It makes me so mad and sad. Sometimes his nap gets thrown off schedule so we can go but most of the time it’s not happening. Glad you were able to go for a bit!

We had the woooorst night last night. M was up from 11-3:30!! I was dying because I feel like shit and just wanted to sleep so badly but she was wide awake! I ended up bringing her into my bed to snuggle and she finally fell asleep, but was up again at 5:30 and then at 8 for the day. I'm so tired. MH got home from work this morning and said he'd sleep a couple hours then get up to give me a break. He said he'd get up at noon. It's 1pm and no sign of him, of course. 🙄 I just put M down for a nap so I'm hoping she sleeps so I can too.

I can’t wait to head to the beach and get out on the boat!!! DS is such a water kid so I’m hoping Hudson will be too! Yep during the week the times were better, but my husband likes to go and would never be able to make the later times! So we are stuck with Saturday’s at nap time! Hopefully he will make it three the next 12 weeks! |

We went grocery shopping today. It was R’s first time sitting in the shopping cart. Tonight T goes to the Y for Parent’s Night Out, but we are just going to watch TV at home.  It’s so hard to get R fed and everyone ready to go shopping, so that way we have a good hour of awake. It’s like, as soon as a nap is over for R then it’s go time. |

Holy cow she looks grown up bsouls. J hates sitting and I wonder if he will skip it and just stand but it will be so nice to put him in the cart. Ugh cali what a rough night. What is going on with these babies agaib?? I had a list of things to do today and instead of doing them I lay on the couch and read during 3 of j 4 naps today. It felt really good. As we were getting him ready for bed we notice smoke in the basement. Our fireplace is going so DH had to go downstairs and deal with tgat. I decide to get j ready for his bath. I take off his pants and he apparently just pooped and it was out the sides of his diaper. So I'm changing him he's wiggling everywhere and I don't want his feet in his mess. I finally get both of his feet and he looks at ne, smiles, and peed all over me and the changing table so I then have to clean that up. We finally took a bath and now I'm feeding him but he keeps falling asleep because he has been up too long |
