Thought I’d go ahead and start this.
We are all up for the day at 5:30am. Boo! But yesterday, DD managed to get herself into the sitting position a few times!

Hellacious night in the JT household. M was up 3 times (once an hour after the second wake up because toddler woke her up) and toddler was a huge PITA from 5:00am on. She then came in our bed and wouldn’t sleep until like 2 hours later ugh. Give me all the coffee today ☕️

Ouch. Passing all the coffee to you ladies. N was up 3? Times. Today dh and I are both off (it’s like our weekend) so for the third wake up at 6am I was like your turn bro. He had been up the day before since 4:30 so I took the first two wake ups to let him sleep a bit but after working a night rotation I feel like I got hit by a truck and a day later I still feel that way yuck. pennylane that’s awesome! N is trying so hard to sit himself up but he’s just not there yet and it’s both a funny and an “awww ok I’ll help” situation.

Sending all the coffee. Sorry for all the crappy sleep last nigjt. J got up to eat twice and was up twice for his binky. I feel like crap today. I'm stuffy, sore throat, and barely slept. I have to give a state test today. I hope my kids behave! . I'm wondering about this winter storm. They are calling for anywhere from 2 to 12 inches of snow. I'll be honest...a snow day would be fine by me!

unicornsparkles hey girl hey!! How are things in the unicorn house?? You have 3u3 right? Yes! My eldest turned 3 is December so I don’t know if it’s technically 3u3 but it’s definitely 3 under crazy 🤪 we are doing good, thanks for asking! Trying to manage the crazy. DS1 is in school FT now in a deaf/HOH classroom which has been amazing for his language and a nice opportunity for me to just have two kids home during the day. DS2 has had chronic ear/tube issues and had a minor surgery about a month ago but due to the ear issues we have decided to go full ASL with him so that’s been an undertaking. The baby is as chill and sweet as can be 😄

unicornsparkles have I told you that for the last 3 years I was a teachers aid at a school for the deaf? I loved my ASL only classrooms and my spoken English classrooms too. It’s so cool to see language develop on both. Hope it goes well for your boys. I didn’t know this! How long have you known ASL? Are you still working in the classrooms? We are actually touring our school for the deaf preschool in a few weeks for DS2. Since he really doesn’t like his hearing aids, I’m trying to do what’s best for him right now which is ASL so he doesn’t lose any early language foundation.

So they are now calling for 12 or more inches of snow. Blah. I'm still feeling awful but DH took the first night feeding so I had a nice 4 hour stretch of sleep which helped.

Crazy, my baby slept like crap the night before last as well. I’m blaming it on leap #6 though. The clinginess is at an all time high. Even if I’m on the floor playing with him, he’s turning to me to be picked up and held. ::sigh::
I wish he’d start crawling, because I’m over the yelling and crying while rocking on his hands and knees. Lol I never know when I should just let him be, or intervene.

@easilyunamused yes! I’m lik do I pick you up or let you keep doing this not crawling thing bc what if by picking you up I’m hindering the chance that you’ll figure it out!
Ugh sorry you had a bad nights sleep. Of course n slept great for dh last night- only woke up once. I try not to be bitter but it’s so hard 😂 I’m always jealous bc he rarely does it when I’m in charge of wake ups or even when we split them.
Oh well.

I keep thinking I’ll leave him alone to figure it out too, but it’ll just escalate to full on meltdown. And MH is never on MOTN duty, but maybe o should pretend and see if it tricks the baby. Lol

So the school shooting incident in MD happened roughly 2 miles from my house. I heard/saw a ton of sirens going by as I was getting ready to take DS to preschool. Just ugh. Hug your kids, everyone.

Oh man I'm so sorry. I saw that on the news. It scares me every time. Sometimes I hate working in a school.

Well since we had a snow day we decided to try to go to our first sit down restaurant with j. Web been to fast food places and have eaten in but haven't gone to an actual restaurant. We went at 130 knowing it would be slow. Plus, a kid in my classes parents own it so I knew it was kid friwndly. J did great! He had his lunch and was super good. Saw a few kids from school there and they were excited to see him.

I have a couple enfamil coupons. 2 $5 expires 4/30 and an $8 one that’s good for a 20.4ounce premium enfamil. But that one is only good at a Safeway Store.
If anyone wants either of those, PM me and I can send it out tomorrow. 😁

Hi everyone, haven't checked in for a bit. I've been trying desperately to find a job.l but nothing yet. 😩 We are also going on vacation on Saturday, so I've been stressing about what I need to pack since it's our first trip with the baby. Hope everyone is doing well!

I’m sitting here overthinking putting the changing pad in the basement. Like it’s this huge commitment if I put in the basement I can never get it back. Lol. . I just put a ton of devices in the basement that I cannot believe my girl is too big for she doesn’t have any interest in her swing, actually I think she’s hard feelings against the swing, she gets really mad when you put her in it like it’s a big nap trap and she’s angry about it. She won’t sit in her lamb seat. That thing was the bomb what I wanted to take a shower I just buckled her in that turn the vibration and music in she would chill for a long shower. Forget the sit me up and the mamaroo Never a fan maybe the next baby will be I hear ya. It’s especially hard this time because it’s my last baby so what do I do with it now? I borrowed some stuff at least but like the sit me up seat was barely used. We were at MH’s aunts the other day and she LOVED the jumperoo but it’s like $100 and big so if I buy it, it’s useless to me in a couple months. They grow so fast!
