So I'm hoping it's teething but the last 4 days J has been pleasant for most of the day but then in between second nap and bedtime he's been crying and upset. It makes for a long 4 hours.
Guys I have a spa day on Tuesday! DH bought it for me at Christmas but I haven't used it because I felt guilty leaving j. Now that it's summer and I'm home with him I'm ready! I'm doing 1 hour in the spring fed baths with the bath ritual, a massage, a haircut, and spending time reading in the spa garden lounge. So 4 hours of pampering!!!

Day 4 of camping today. So far we've had 2 days of pouring rain followed by 90° and humid. Apparently it's supposed to rain again today.
E has been getting up earlier every day. Today it was 4:20. There's really no where to go in a pop up and she can't be quiet and not wake the toddler so H is driving around eith her.

I'm sorry you've had crappy weather, that's not fun at all.

J slept until 7am this morning! He went to bed at 730, woke up at 1 to eat, then slept until 7. This never happens and probably won't again but it felt great. I got up at 630, watered the plants, worked a little, and made.coffee before he woke up.

Such a great way to start your summer break home with him though

king26 Yay for the spa day. That sounds awesome. kristyw Wow. You are braver than me. Camping with a 10 month old sounds fearsome. Baby H slept through the night!!! DS1 woke me up five times. 🤔😑😖😖😖 I think he'll always be a bad sleeper.

king26 enjoy!! @starzia so close and yet so far!! I’m dragging today. Have to work 3-11 today and N was a disaster. Started his wake ups at 10pm. Was up from 11-12:30. We had to take him out of his room and hang out in the living room bc he wouldn’t stop screaming. 😴 Of course he’s napping like a champ now

king26, you are living the perfect life today! That looks amazing! Enjoy every minute. Sorry for the shitty night addymac! We have had a shitty couple of nights too with 2 wakeups. Add in some toddler antics at 5:30 this morning and I'm over it and already so tired.

We had a nice FDW, but we were up visiting family for a mini family reunion/memorial for MHs grandfather who passed last winter. It was a lovely time but we got zero help with A. I really wish my MIL was more hands on and helpful. She held him for literally 5 mins the whole weekend. We were staying at her house! I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to have zero expectations of having her be involved in that way.

I know it’s completely our responsibility, but she’s always talking about how much she wants to help and spend time with A. Buts it’s just that, all talk. 😕 I keep hoping it’s more about him being a baby but I don’t have high expectations that once he’s older she’ll be any different.

SOS GUYS! Ugh. The last couple nights have been awful. He was up every 2h last night and then was up at 4:30 HOWLING and screaming his lungs out. Food didn’t help. Rocking him didn’t help. Reading to him didn’t help. Singing didn’t help. I just felt so helpless. He’s had diarrhea on and off since Tuesday morning and he had a small throw up Wednesday morning and was barely interested in eating solids since Tuesday evening. He’s eating more today cuz my nanny made him a chicken soup and he loves it. And he hasn’t decreased his milk intake, but didn’t want his cereal or any purees. I’m just at a loss. We assume he had a stomach bug but the constant wake ups and scream crying are killing me. I got three hours of sleep combined.
Anyone have any suggestions?

addymac I would just lay off solids and give Tylenol as needed. Hopefully, tonight goes better.

So I think J is teething hardcore. He is drooling everywhete. Nighttime sleep has been fine but naps are hit and miss for now. I'm currently in his room holding him which he likes half the times and screams about the other half. He's great during the day it's just nap time. He slept like 40 minutes this last nap which wasn't enough so now I'm holding him the rest of his nap while DH is being so freaking loud on the roof. Grrrrrrrr. I feel like I've been MIA all week but it's because school is over so now I'm home with J all day which doesn't leave me any down time. I had some questions to ask but now I can't remember any...mom brain here.
Oh how about this. Last night I said I guess we need to get rid of our last embryo. The freezing costs come up in a month and they aren't cheap. We kept them an extra year after having J just because I couldn't let it go but DH has always been one and done. So he says to me of that's what you want. So I say well i dont want to keep paying for nothing and he says maybe we should use it. I wouldn't mind having another☠that's me. Totally dead, jaw on floor...what???? So now I'm in crazy lady land. Would I want another? Should we try? If we did try we would use this last embryo and that would be it so one very tiny shot. So....lots to process right now

addymac did you call the doctor and ask? I'd make sure to keep him hydrated and give tylonal. That sounds rough and 3 hours if sleep sucks.....

addymac I would probably call the doctor too. I can't remember if they recommend Pedialyte at this age. Poor little guy and poor you. It sounds like a bug, but I wonder if he is teething too? But maybe he just had an all night tummy ache. Hope you get more sleep tonight. king26 Wow. That's a huge decision. I wouldn't presume to have any advice, but very best luck in thinking it over. I usually make a huge spreadsheet of pros and cons for decisions like that. I don't know if it would help to write it all down. Dh and I have a CPR class tonight. I really don't feel like it, but baby H tries to eat EVERYTHING, and Im so worried he'll manage to choke on something, and I don't think I remember the CPR class we took three years ago. DS1 was not this mouthy. Hopefully it's not too painful, but it's like we finally have childcare for two hrs and we're not doing anything fun.
