aydee hugs. I hope you find someone that fits with your family quickly ❤ I think that she says she can't handle the job says more about her than the kids.

Ohh, I'm fine with that. I always click spoilers. Snakes just make me shudder.

Thank you, aydee. I'm sorry about your nanny. That would be really difficult and I'm sure adding in a kitchen renovation is not helping!

I've been doing really good with bringing breakfast and lunch to save money.
Guess what I forgot on the front seat of my car today?

We let J scream and cry for over an hour. He kept coming out of his room so I told him I was shutting his door. He freaked when I shit to the door and starting trashing his room. I pulled everything except the bed and dresser out. Then he started climbing the dresser which is not yet anchored to the wall so I opened the door. It freaked him enough to have the door closed so he finally calmed down and laid there quietly until he fell asleep. That was around 10:30. Then he woke at midnight and it all started again. H immediately got into his bed which is not helpful in the least. He was pulling at his ears so I took his temperature and it was a little high but not fever level. Since he spikes high fevers when he has ear infections, I pulled him into our bed.
He is up already.

Guess it's a bacon egg and cheese on a roll for breakfast for me.
And my supervisor just texted me that she's out of the office today (was out yesterday too), so my day has already gotten 1000% better

Of course his temperature is fine today. Looks like we'll be doing it all again tonight!
I already told him he doesn't get to watch Trolls tonight because he had asked about it last night.

Our washer & dryer are being delivered Sunday!!! 🎉🎉 I only have to go to my mom's tomorrow to do 1, maybe 2, loads of laundry now. The rest is waiting until Sunday. I'll take the chance of them being delivered at a reasonable time

Pizzaslut, the worst. all the coffee or water (not fun huh?) for you. Stick to the punishment. His temp was probably high from throwing a fit. I hate to say this but our pediatrician has suggested to us on several occasions to lock A into her room. She will throw a fit by the door but will eventually fall asleep. And if you have the room secured and safe, you know they won't get hurt. I mean if all else fails, you might want to try this. But he did say, you have to let them cry it out - even if it takes 2 hours. And then you should be good to go after about 3 days. i haven't done it yet. i'm weak.

aydee, i'm sorry about the nanny situation. I really hope you can find a new one that you and the kids just fall in love with. Did you bring this cold weather to Florida? lol...how long are you down there for?

I was definitely trying it last night. It's how we got past it last summer. I think it was about 2 - 3 days of lots and lots of crying and screaming, then he would just fall asleep all over the room. The problem last night is that the dresser isn't anchored yet, so when he tried to climb it, I had to step in. That will be done ASAP!

Pizzaslut, my DH has been on toddler bedtime duty and has been letting DS scream-it-out. Some nights he is fine with going to bed bot other nights not so much. I don't have great advice bc I am weak and lay down with him or let him in our bed when I'm "in charge" but you are not alone. During pregnancy it really really sucks.

Did you bring this cold weather to Florida? lol...how long are you down there for? We leave tomorrow. We haven't let the cooler weather slow us down. We took the kids to the beach earlier in the week wearing long sleeves, sweatshirts, and shorts. They were thrilled to play in the sand and collect shells at the water's edge. It didn't bother them one bit that they weren't in bathing suits and there was less that I needed to sunscreen.
Back to the beach today!

Pizzaslut, no advice. I have a crap sleeper at my house and I've done a crappy job of trying to sleep train, but I can vouch for how bad crap sleep is during pregnancy. I'm sending good thoughts your way.

I saw OB today. I'm still at 4-5cm. I scheduled an induction for Tuesday morning at 39 weeks. I have mixed feelings about this. Maybe I will have the baby over the weekend instead.

shellyr , ummm i'm so excited! baby day is almost here!!!! I'm nervous. Charlotte was born at 41 and 3 but since I'm AMA, have gestational diabetes, and need two doses of antibiotics before delivery and I'm already at 4-5cm, induction at 39 weeks was deemed the safest option.
