So, I was going to trial dairy with N since we were taking a 3 day weekend to potty train DS1. Then we had the reaction with the lactation muffins so I put it off. Yesterday I was making soup and was going to use chicken Better than Bouillon so I scooped it in and quickly licked the edge of the spoon. As soon as I did it, I realized I should have looked at the ingredients. Damn it, like the third ingredient is whey. I was hoping it was suh a small amount it wouldn’t matter. Fast forward to just now with a runny, gross, green diaper. There’s the dairy trial I guess. 😩😭😭😭 I’m never going to get to have dairy again.
Also, our pediatrician does the ASQ ar 9 months and then again at a year or 18m. I just got mine in the mail for his 9m appointment next Monday. I hate filling them out because I always feel bad if I have to mark something as “no” even though I know he shouldn’t really be a yes on everything anyway.

Morning. I'm working but not feeling too great. I started with a runny nose and then it turned stuffy last night which is annoying but whatever. I took a benedryl last night which kind of knocked me out so I had somewhat decent sleep. L ended up in our bed around midnight but I didn't notice too much so yay. Dumb question re: formula. Would it be weird to try and change the brand/ type you get at this point. He has no issues really with what we are using. He will spit up sometimes, and he can be pretty gassy but I don't know if it is from the formula or not. My MIL got a different brand a couple of months ago and he didn't seem to spit up at all with it so I was considering changing when I ran out of what we had. We are almost out and I am second guessing myself now. I'm just not sure if it is worth it for the 3 months or not. I am obviously not great at change if you cant tell. lol. we switched from enfamil gentelease to enfamil infant a couple months ago. It's cheaper, easier to find, and comes in more varieties for travel. As long as it's the same brand you can switch immediately. Sometimes, if it's a different brand, making it half new formula half old formula, gets baby used to the change. But you don't have to do that if they are taking the new stuff fine I was worried about switching too, I dont do well with change, but I asked his pedi and she told me not to stress. Especially since he's older now and his stomach is more mature |

Also, +1 to not feeling guilty about sending the kid(s) to DC while you stay home. I do it every time I have a Monday off work! Although my next Saturday I am trying to take Tuesday instead because it is the Bachelor in Paradise live finale and I scored tickets for me and MIL to go (they said they would need us anywhere from 1-8 pm). I am really really excited. Cool! |

Dramatic reenactment since she wasn't actually that gross after waking up. But imagine more hair and its plastered to her face and add in a few miscellaneous globs throughout.  |

I would not think twice about switching. I have used damples and then went to Target brand and DD2 didn't care one bit. |

Nothing too exciting going on over here. S&P are sick so DH is home with them.
Last night I made peanut butter lactation bites. They’re delicious and addicting and I always eat too many when I make them. But I pumped an extra 3 ounces this morning! Could be a coincidence, but I’m taking it as a reason to make/eat them all the time.
I’m excited for the Bachelorette finale tonight, and more excited for BIP tomorrow, but I’m still reminded of how I wish they’d bring Bachelor Pad back!

One time H and I were out at a club for Halloween (so this was like 8 years ago or so), and Tenley and Kiptyn were there, when they were still a couple. I chatted with Tenley and she was the sweetest. |

Grumble grumble I miss peanut butter. AnnPerkins ds1 had long, curly hair until he was almost three. He always had boogers, food, dirt, you name it going on. I understand your struggle lol. |

6:14 and E is in bed. If he didn’t insist on shitty 30 minute naps he wouldn’t have to go to bed so early.

N goes to bed at 7 and you should hear my mom talk about how early their bedtimes are. N has never slept past 6 in his whole life and it’s obvious his brother is following down the same path. They need early bedtimes to function. |

There's a little girl who lives behind us the same age as DS, she's been up til at least 8-830 outside playing (while it was still light). That seems late for a 4 year old but whatevs. DS doesnt nap often anymore and so early to bed he goes because he's a wreck by supper. DD1 does nap but is still crabby AF by bedtime. DD2 seems to treat bedtime like a nap currently. She usually wakes up at 10/1030 raring to go. |

+1 for early bedtimes. DD2 goes to bed around 630 most nights, and DD1's Alexa alarm goes off at 7:15 to start brushing teeth. She is in bed by 7:45.

7 is bedtime for both girls in our house. The baby will go down earlier if shes too much of a wreck. Some nights Ellie stays up later, like Friday nights we watch a movie together in our bed so she often stays up until 8 or 9, but shes just curled up in bed awake.
It doesn't matter what time they go to bed. Sleeping past 6am is a rarity in this household.

We’re late on bedtimes here, but the earliest I get home from work is 6:15. So DS is around 8:30 (although this varies, tonight was 8) and the girls usually by 9:15. It just takes us awhile with the girls and with one of us having to double team them while DS goes down.
If anyone has any suggestions on this / how to juggle when all 3 want to go to bed around 8:30, open to suggestions (except for putting DS down earlier - there’s just no way to get him to bed at 7:30 having had dinner and actually having had time with him).

My kids are night owls. DD(3.5) won’t fall asleep before 9:30. If I put baby down anytime before 9, he thinks it’s just a nap and is up in an hour and ready to party for the next 2 hours. My 5 yo also won’t sleep before 9. But he at least will lay in his room at 8:00 on watching Netflix and is quiet. If add does that, she’s in and out of her room 100x.

My N17 baby starts bedtime at 630 and is out by 7. My 3 year old goes to sleep more like 8-830.

Baby goes to bed at 6:30. Ds1 goes to bed by 7:30. It’s a miracle if they sleep past 6:30am.

If it works for your family then KOKO. For us, for all three we actually get the big two ready for bed first (they have a bath together if it's bath night), brush teeth and pjs. While DH bathes the baby, I do teeth and story time. Then they're in bed and we can settle DD2. I'm currently home so I can have supper ready for 5 and we go out side for half hour or so and then start bedtime. This whole schedule will obviously change when I go back to work because by the time I get home it's after almost 8pm and I leave at 630am, or leave for work at 615pm and come home at 730am. Probably aim to have everyone in bed by 7 since DS will be in school and everyone will need to get up early for daycare. SaveSave |

So one of DH’s HS friends is married to this girl who’s a real treat. I don’t know if you guys remember this, but she posted this super triggery article about doing kick counts before she was even pregnant, but I was pretty late in my pregnancy and it really bothered me. Then when they came to visit and meet C when he was like 2 weeks old she told us that she just found out she was pregnant (so she was like 4 weeks along). She’s been posting very opinionated pregnancy and parenting articles since then. Made a huge deal about how she and her H know the sex of the baby but aren’t telling anyone else because they don’t want preconceived gender stereotypes to affect their baby. Okay, cool. I can respect that, but why shout it out to the world?
Well they just had the baby and sent some photos to DH and their friend group. They didn’t say the sex or the name and the baby was in a blue sleeper with a pink hat. Obviously this bitch eats crackers for me but Wtf. It just seems so AW-ish to me.
