Anyoneβs kids ever have roseola? If so, what were their symptoms? Do you remember how long the fever lasted? My DD had it around 1y. The fever lasted about 3-4 days and then broke, within a day of the fever breaking the spots showed up. Did she hv anything except a fever if you remember? We have a high fever and a cough but nothing else. He says he feels fine and is acting fine. If he wasnβt coughing I wouldnβt hv taken his temp but itβs 103-104.

I am currently getting a pedicure with an iced tea from Timβs. There are worse ways to spend Sunday morning. π I have to go home and clean which is a bummer but necessary. Tomorrow night I am staying over at a friends house because we are going to a concert and itβs almost 2 hours away from my house. What concert?

Most people donβt know them but itβs a band made up of Johnny Depp, Alice Cooper and Joe Perry from Aerosmith with a few other musicians.

I feel like I am slowly losing my mind. Iβm sorry to keep complaining in here but I donβt really have another outlet. My H does know how Iβm feeling though. I just keep getting so angry and irritable with my DS, and then feeling super guilty about it. Iβm fine with the baby, but she has been super fussy the last couple of days and that has not helped. My DS keeps asking me if Iβm hungry because he knows I get grumpy when Iβm hungry and Iβm grumpy constantly lately. He also keeps saying heβs sorry for things and I hate it. I just canβt keep from getting angry. Yesterday my H hand to work and then he went to the bar but only for a half an hour. I was so pissed when he got home and I melted down and told I was barely holding it together. Then I went upstairs to feed the baby to get away and just sobbed. Itβs not that I was even mad about him going because I honestly donβt care, itβs just that I feel like I havenβt had a break since the baby was born. He keeps telling me to go out, he can handle it as long as I leave milk, but then I feel like the baby is too difficult for other people. Logically I know she wi be fine, but I canβt get myself to leave. I donβt know, Iβm just really struggling right now.

Even if the baby is too difficult for "other people" your H is her father and it is important that she learn you are not her only source of comfort. Start small with going out when she goes down for a nap or after she has eaten where you have a decent sized window to go get a pedicure or even go do grocery shopping by yourself. Hang in there!

Anyone have any magical nail trimming techniques? Babyβs soothing thing is to repeatedly rub/scratch her head. We trim her nails once a week at minimum, and keep mitts on her a lot, but she wants to use her hands and at four months old I donβt really want to keep them off limits. She managed to get a mitt off when we spent an hour in the car today and did this to her head...

ajetter, omg the poor baby! We just use baby nail clippers. FFSC I put the tv on for her when I cut her nails because she sits so so still for it. Otherwise sheβs trying to eat my hands or flailing all about

tiffbabey, first off big hugs. I can completely sympathize with losing your cool and feeling grumpy with your DS lately. My dd1has been eating away at my soul lately. Sheβs been very difficult. I think my dd2 is a little bit older than your dd, but things are starting to get better for us now. I will say that if I donβt get enough alone time, I start to feel those anger feelings and resentment towards everyone. You really should take YH up on the offer. You need to get out and do something for yourself. You will be happier and be a better mom for it. I like @aprilz8.s suggestion of starting small. Put her down for a nap and then go out somewhere close. If she freaks out and is awful, at lest you wonβt be too far away. This transition going from 1to 2 kids is so hard. Sending you lots of hugs. Iβm right there with you! I think a lot of us are.

She was pretty lethargic but that was about it. :/
