+ 100 to the kid that does not want bed time! But on the bright side we had two night of sleeping through the night so that was a big plus. She also asked to go to her potty for the first time in months. Please let this be a sign!

Dd2 stopped nursing about a week and a half ago. She has mentioned milk a few times, but it has otherwise been no big deal.
Tonight she told me she missed her milk and it makes her really sad.
YOU GUYS! Talk about breaking a mama’s heart! We had a big hug and a nice talk about it so i feel okay, but jeeeeeez.

I’m glad you talked...I guess this is why I quit before they make me feel bad 😆 I don’t remember if I updated on dd3. We are doing high doses of ibuprofen for 6 weeks and we will reevaluate. I thought she was doing better and then last night she started limping again.

theoprah, I'm so sorry for your losses. It just sucks. I hope the RE can help you find some answers. dizzycooks, I hope the ibuprofen helps or that you find something that does. The waiting would drive me nuts. nellieoleson, what a sweetheart. My LO has just recently started verbalizing his feelings a little bit and it really tugs at my heart strings. My kid also has not been going to bed until about 9-9:30, despite shortening his daytime nap and using the light blocking shades, etc. Glad to hear it's not just us. On the plus side, he seems to have adjusted to sleeping in his big boy bed. Just in time for the new one...

I spent the past week and a half so sick - fever one day, couldn't get out of bed, then terrible sore throat, couldn't talk, then hacking cough (very unpleasant at 38 weeks). I guess my body was trying to tell me to get some rest. I was so nervous I would have the baby while I was sick, but thankfully I'm finally starting to feel better. Now just trying to ease out of work and soak up my last week or so with LO as my only baby.

Our toddler is actual not pulling any shenanigans currently. Aside from the usual "I'm 2 and can't talk very well so I get frustrated" stuff.
Our current major issue is H's car. I took it for an oil change last week, found out it needs a new power steering pump. No big deal, I thought I could change it with my dad's help. So we ordered the part, guy said it would be in that evening or the next day. That was a Friday, by Tuesday it still wasn't in. Called them, they said it was because of the holiday, and it would be in the next day and they'd call. By Saturday I still hadn't heard anything, called and was told that it had come in and been sent back because they couldn't find the invoice. Finally got it yesterday, and found out my dad doesn't have the right tools to replace it. Then on the way home last night the brakes started acting up.
So H is driving my car, and I'm stuck walking S to and from school, which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so hot.

tinydancer, that's rough. I always get sick at the end too, strep throat usually and it's awful. I am glad you're on the mend and excited to hear about your new lo. lollipop, that's a lot of running around for a part. I hope it gets fixed quickly. We had a nice holiday weekend. We went to the splash pad early and discovered it doesn't open until 9am. Who knew? We played on the playground until it opened. Apparently the city doesn't like people in the parks early. It's so hot though...over 100 today and we had a bbq at our house. I am exhausted. This new baby doesn't sleep real well and needs a lot of coaxing to go to bed, but of course, if he can see us he is all wide eyed and or crying. So I lay next to his bassinet, hand on his belly, tucking his paci in his mouth every so often, until he crashes. I have no schedule this go around. No nap times, no bed times. It's ridiculous and I need to change it. Tell me I'm not ruining him because of this... dd3 seems to be responding to the ibuprofen, but she still has swelling and she's still limping. I'm nervous that it's not improving enough to allow us to go back to 'normal'. She isn't too bothered by it, but I feel awful even though I know there's nothing I could have done differently. I am trying not to mourn the experiences I expected her to have bc the doctor says she can still be active and do whatever she wants, but a big part of me is struggling. theoprah I am sorry for your loss. I hope you find answers. Please feel free to vent here, many of us have experienced loss and understand the difficulty you are experiencing.

dizzycooks - you are definitely not “ruining” him! He’s too little for schedules and bedtimes right now anyway. Just get the rest you all need and tackle that stuff down the road. tinydancer - 38 weeks! Aaaaaahhhhhhhh! So exciting. So glad you are feeling better. 😊

dizzycooks, you're not ruining him! He's still so little I wouldn't worry about a schedule. The not sleeping at night thing seems so daunting though...

We had a night last night with dd. she went to bed at 9:30 and woke up at 2/2:30 and wouldn't go back to sleep. that sucked. finally got her to sleep 8-10 am, then she wouldn't nap today. i'm hoping that never happens again. she got a lot of sleep Thursday (at night and long nap) and wondering if that did it. I've been trying to work on her getting more sleep because I know she needs it.
hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Dd slept 8:45 - 6:15. I’ll twke it! The most remarkable thing is the difference in me. I had no patience yesterday and it was no fun. It’s amazing what some slept can do for a mama!

My saga continues. Dd slept from 9:45 (started trying to get her to sleep at 8:15) to 4:15. I got so stressed last night and sobbed because of sleep deprivation and worry about her not getting enough sleep. Also my hips hurt so bad I can’t really get much unbroken sleep. I will say I decided to try and stay positive and we’ve had fun at park and store. She’s napping now and I’m about to. I just hope this sleep thing stops because it’s not good for either of us

Maybe you can start sleeping in there with her, then once she’s used to the new room your H can take over? When we did that with dd1 before dd2 was born I would still tuck dd1 in at night, then sneak out once she was asleep, then my H was in charge of any and all dd1 wake ups after that. She didn’t like it at first, but got used to it pretty fast. I hope you guys got some rest during nap today! 💕

nellieoleson thank you! We are working on her big girl room. We are painting it purpleish gray this weekend and then need to order furniture. Hopefully will be done soon. Dd keeps telling us she wants a brown room though, which is funny. We had a great day today, lots of fun. She napped from 12-2:30. I got in about 45 minutes. I feel fine though. We started bedtime at 8 and she fell asleep at 9:30 after waking up at 4 am. I don’t know how. The other two nights she woke up early she had a longer and later nap than usual. I’m wondering if that’s part of the problem by then I feel like she needs to catch up on her sleep with naps. I hope it all evens out soon! I think we will do what you did regarding me laying down with her and then dh takin wake-ups. I know she relies way too much on me being there to sleep at night. One thing at a time Hope everyone is doing well!

Hang in there @kelltothekell. We've basically stopped trying to get LO to go to sleep before 9. He's basically falling asleep at 9:30 no matter what and trying for an hour and a half was much more frustrating than trying for half an hour.
Still pregnant over here. 40w tomorrow. I thought second babies came sooner?

With it being light so late L is quite convinced 9/9:30 is when she should go to sleep. If I put her to bed then, she goes right out. If I try earlier it's just a fight until then. I have given in... on the bright side she has now slept through the night a number of times so yay! I am sick and achy. Who gets sick in freaking June?!?

DD is a night owl like DS was when he was 2 - I think that the synapses are just firing too hot at this age! Lol! She rarely goes to sleep before 10. She is confined to her room by the power of a color changing clock and we check in on her occasionally

I traded it for a baby monitor tonight I could identify my offender...

The clock only means staying in your room-we just keep putting her back in her room when she comes out.

Next week is our official start of summer and all three of my girls are going to VBS for three hours a day. I have several appointments scheduled, but I’m trying to prioritize those other days because I am never so light on kids as I’ll be next week! It’s going. To be weird. I told dh my self care list is growing. Currently I need a haircut, brow wax, pedicure and a back massage. I seriously need to find a day and just schedule it. It sounds heavenly. What have you done for yourself lately?

I feel like dd is just always whiney and cranky and I’m soooooooo over it. Ds was not like this. I know I need to stop comparing but she is just so much more challenging and I struggle with managing her moods. Anyone else with moody girls? What do you do?
