Hi guys! We made it to my parents yesterday!! I drove thre whol time over the two days & feel like I was hit by a bus this morning. DS and DD did great. I love being at my parents— I’m sharing a room w DD which sucks (lots of family here for my brothers HS graduation this weekend). But as soon as she wakes up in the morning my mom grabs her and they’re off doing something fun, like watering her flowers or taking the dogs for a walk. DS sleeps in my parents room which also means more sleep for me bc he just sleeps better without me haha.
Anyway they were both little crankpots yesterday from having an irregular schedule so hopefully after a good nights sleep last night they’re both in better moods today.
Not much on the agenda...about to go make some coffee & sit with my sister & my grandma! My other sister gets here today & my brother comes tomorrow. Haven’t seen my bro in a year & a half, and our whole fam hasn’t been together since that time too. Just missing H 😭😭
Also can’t remember if I shared in here or not that DS has torticollis & plagiocephaly (bc of the torticollis). We learned this on Monday at his checkup. So he will be getting physical therapy. Anyway DS’ doctor is amazing and got our PT referral done like that same day (usually takes a week or two to process it) and I already got a call from the place we’re going to see to set up his evaluation!! I’ve been googling too much but it looks like the PT will not only help his torticollis (the reason he’s getting it) but also help with his flat spot too since his is pretty mild & not affecting any of his facial features. I’m breathing a huge sigh of relief bc now that the doctor pointed out his torticollis I can really notice it and I’m feeling dumb for not noticing it before.

Good morning everyone!! I'm back at work today. Tuesday was our nannys first day but she was sick, and yesterday was my scheduled work from home day, so I got two days with DS! I missed HDBD yesterday so here he is at 13 weeks. He is really chunking up all of a sudden and it's so cute! And he loves holding on to his toys now.    |

B slept through the night for the first time last night! From 10:30-7! Last night was also the first time we put her in an overnight diaper. I guess we will see how it goes tonight to see if the issue was a wet diaper all along. DD1 was also a heavy wetter and we did overnights early with her too but she slept through the night way earlier than DD2.

I'm filling out daycare papers today. DH is waiting on his start date for his new job, but it should be within the next week or so. I'm happy to have his income back but I will be sad that both DH and Faith will be gone all day. But also happy to have the house to myself for awhile.
I just bought a bunch of Level 2 nipples and 8 ounce bottles. Faith drank 5.5 ounces this morning (typical is 3-4) and getting up to mix more formula is annoying. She did a few minutes of tummy time before completely melting down, so maybe my little girl is starting to grow up! If only that also meant more sleep...

I’ve been so swamped at work, I haven’t been around much. My husband has gone to he cottage to help my dad build a deck and taken the baby with him. I’m on my own for a few days until I go up on Saturday after work. H rolled over for the first time yesterday while they were there. It’s a bit sad to be missing some of this stuff but not much that I can do.

The recently talk here about torticollis peeked my interest to look into it.
I wasn’t too familiar with torticollis and that helmets can be used as a treatment (amongst other treatments such as PT). i thought helmets were only for flat spots.
After reading more about torticollis, I am thinking there is a possibility J may have it. J tends to lean his head to his right majority of the time.
My husband thinks I am overreacting and he isn’t worried.
J may not have it but I rather play it save and I definitely will talk to his pediatrician at his wellness visit at the end of the month.

Were trying to settle into a routine now that I’m back at work. DS1 had a much better day at school which made my day. Ds2 slept most of the day daycare said and only ate twice though which is making me nervous.

+1 for thinking my kid has torticollis. His 4 mo visit is Thursday so I'm looking forward to that and knowing for sure. He also looks to the right all the time yellow711. My friend told me today that her pediatrician said that most babies prefer their right side. 🤷🤷. |

Baby K has a urologist appointment in the morning to look at his hydrocele. They are also wanting a urine sample. The nurse tells me this isn't as hard asit sounds so we'll see. From what I've read these are pretty common (1 in 10 infant boys) and usually clear up on their own within a year so I believe this appointment will just check to make sure that's all we are dealing with.

I think one of my nephews had it and they did a procedure on him to get rid of it, if that sounds right. It was a big deal to my sis at the time (obviously!) but went well. |

That was 12 years ago though so the approach may be different now!

Baby falls asleep in 15 minutes or less for naps, but bedtime this past week. Ugh. She’s ready for bed earlier than she used to be, but is still never really settled and asleep until her ‘old’ bed time. But she can’t stay up that late. So now instead of having extra time in the evening it’s just taking twice as long to put her to bed.

I preferred her 7:30-9:30 snooze over the 7:30-9 fuss! |

The first few weeks back to work are hard. I had a very productive work week and that felt good but I’m beat! Every time I go to post I realize I have nothing interesting to say!

Apparently pooping at 2am is our thing now. Yay.

Baby finally went back to sleep. Just as I was about to close my eyes saw the toddler hovering the edge of the bed. Went to rescue her so she didn’t fall off. When I came out of her room I noticed a big spider on the door frame. I don’t do spiders. Debating waking my husband to go kill it. I’m sure he’d love that. But if I tired I’d scream and wake all the kids! And if I just leave it I’ll be wondering where the heck it went. It’s bigger than a quarter. Not a tiny guy.

ajetter can you hit it with a shoe and leave it for your husband to get it when he gets up? I hate spiders too but my husband hates them way worse so I usually am the one to deal with them.

Love that MOTN insomnia. DS pooped so I had to change him & that made our waking last a little longer & required me to be a little more awake so now I can’t fall back asleep! Ughh. Both my kids have super stuffy noses.

Apparently since DS2 barely ate all day and was sleepy he decided to make up for it last night. I feel like a zombie.
