If you need a movie to watch I recommend Fun Mom Dinner on Netflix! Definitely not kid safe (lots of f bombs), but funny and sad/true. I just got done having a snack and watching it with my snuggly baby. auri today is my dhs first day at work too. I’m glad he got a week off, but I’m bummed he’s gone. I liked the company and know he’ll barely see ds awake now I hope your first solo day goes well.

I have to take R for a weight check today (20 miles from my home going one direction) and then to my OB's clinic (60 miles away in the other direction) due to the pain I'm having in my lower abdomen when I pee. So, lots of time in the car today. R was up wide awake from 3 a.m to sometime after 5 a.m and up for the day at 6:30 a.m. WTF baby? Why do we need to be awake so much in the middle of the night/early morning? It's a good things he's as cute as he is. 😜 Hope your appointments went well and you got some answers about the pain!

SO has been blowing the driveway for 2.5 fucking hours. I'm over it. B is over it. We've been inside for 4 days. My mom is home today too but just feeds into the bad toddler behaviour. She can not say no to him. He had a melt down demanding ice cream and I offered to make him an early lunch if he was hungry. I walked away when he threw himself on the floor shrieking and THEN SHE GAVE HIM FUCKING ICE CREAM. This shit happens all the time and she will not reign in the treats. Sounds like my mother in law. Sorry you have to put up with it!

N's cold is bothering me. She's had it for almost two weeks now. If I use the nose Frida she mostly sounds is but she's still definitely stuffy and grunts sometimes. I don't know what is acceptable/normal for 3 weeks old.

Em was crying one night when we were leaving their house because I said no cookies. She finally calmed down and my MIL was like "I told her if she stopped crying I'd give her a cookie, so can I?". Wtaf? No!

MIL has flown out and I’m tackling my first full day solo parenting. I thought we were doing well and moving along, but then I realized it’s taken me two hours just to get the toddler, baby, and myself fed and dressed for the day. What is going to happen when I actually have somewhere to be at a set time in the morning?? Ya being somewhere at a set time hasn't worked out for me yet and I only have the baby.

Sorry for the Monday everyone. 😐 I braved a shopping trip with DS in the rain. I look rather bedraggled. Glad you got meds leatherpants!!! One of my 50 cousins, a bachelor, randomly sent a package for Sebby as he labeled it. I was confused and loling. I opened it and it was a book about Sebastian the crab from The Little Mermaid. ArielMermaid It made me laugh and totally made my day! I actually have never seen Little Mermaid so it was new to me.

Ok alwayscheese, your mission is to watch the Little Mermaid and learn the words to all the songs. And go! Actually I just showed it to L the other day. He kept asking me why Ursula was so mean.

I think I'm calling to schedule a pediatrician appt for the baby this week. Her spit up has increased especially through her nose and has spit up after every feeding today. I've had to change my clothes and we've gone through so many burp clothes and blankets. And she is screaming unless she is being held so I can't get anything done. She's usually only like this in the evening but the past few days it has been almost all day.

mattsgirl2004, hope both appointments go well and the time in the car passes quickly! leatherpants, be adamant about the meds. They are a godsend. Promise. snowmoon that’s so hard when a family member undermines your authority. Have you talked to your mom about it? My feelings are if your mom is alone and sneaks treats, eh, NBD, but if you are present, what you say goes. If she isn’t sure she can ask you. It's been an ongoing conversation. Things usually have to get pretty heated before she takes me seriously though. Ugh. I’m sorry, that’s so hard. And I saw after I posted that you said she is living with you. That makes it especially difficult. I hope she starts respecting the boundaries you have set and it gets easier.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. It helps to know I’m not alone with an asshole toddler (he really is great most of the time) and also with how I’m feeling about the newborn stage.

alwayscheese. Please note that Sebastian has a Jamaican accent in the movie so when reading, do voices accordingly. And post a video.

Hello, Back from a crazy weekend of driving around the province visiting family. My dad held a little get together so family could come meet A without us having to drive around the city.
Then I guess my aunt was texting my sister today asking if I’m having a baby shower. I didn’t invite her to my dads because she doesn’t talk to him/holds a grudge against him because he started dating someone after my mom passed away. We also didn’t have a lot of time to go visit her. So my sisters warning my if she ever finds out.... uhhh.

Not an umbilical hernia but our pedi wants us to pull back the cord and use a qtip to clean behind it because it’s “wet” back there😷. Babies are gross but this was next level. Thank god my mom’s a nurse and coming to stay for a week starting tomorrow!

What a long day! R gained good weight. He was 7lbs 13oz a week ago and was up to 8lbs 8oz today!
Still no answers on the pain I'm having. The initial test I had today was negative for a UTI. The nurse said they did a culture to see if there's any growth and I should know the results of that tomorrow.
DH and I got in a fight this afternoon. We haven't had a fight in a long time. Neither of us are speaking to each other and it's definitely an awkward silence full of lots of tension in our house right now. 😐
Can't wait for my kids to just go to bed, so that I can too and maybe tomorrow will be better.

Anyone seen Leaf 🌱? Did that baby come out yet? Im here - just lurking and LTing like a creeper. Baby exited last week! We’re all just adjusting and I’m trying to be present and sleep and not kill anyone. DD was right and she has a sister!!! The birth was accidentally unmedicated and crazy fast. Bc she basically shot out of me and didn’t spend any time getting squished in the birth canal, she was projectile puking amniotic fluid for a bit and it was so gross/scary. Thankfully that’s worked itself out and my milk came in so she hit birth wait today! DD1 is doing ok. She loves DD2 and is great 80% of the time. The rest is so hard. I’m trying to give her a lot of attention and snuggles and praise but be firm about our regular rules. I don’t know if I mentioned this, but she and DH had the stomach flu at the beginning of last week so it’s just been a total upheaval of routine and a lot of recovery. I’m hoping that being back at DC this week helps her. I’m so so proud of her though - she’s already improving so much.
