I'm way late to this.
Downs: the baby's shitty sleep since we had to stop swaddling her. She really only sleeps if we bedshare and I'm over it and want my space back.
D1 falling and injuring her face pretty badly. The scabs are starting to heal I just hope they don't scar.
Ups: MH having the week off so he was able to help with laundry and making dinner this week.
The weekend is almost over but Friday we helped one of my BIL's move into his dorm. Yesterday Mh and D1 helped the other one move in and it was nice to have the afternoon alone with just the baby. I ran 5.5 miles this morning in preparation for a 10k next weekend. Rest of the day will be meal planning, grocery shopping, and meal prepping.

I'm super late to this and I'm playing a lot of catch-up on the board in general. I'm sorry I haven't been around.
Ups: - DH has been taking the initiative to help more around the house. He cleaned the bathrooms because it was one of the chores I mentioned him taking over last week. - I was out running a quick errand after we put the kids to bed, and the baby woke up while I was gone. DH was able to settle him down and get him back to sleep with very little fuss. This literally never happened with my oldest.
Downs: - I'm at the end of my rope. I don't know if it's depression, anxiety, PTSD from our dog getting hit by a car, a combo of all of the above... I need to go to therapy but it's just so many hoops. I'm waiting on a callback from one place, hopefully tomorrow. - I just have a really hard time with this stage. Sleep is so unpredictable, and even my very sweet second baby has gotten clingy and wants to nurse all the time and only nap on me.

I'm sorry for all of that katietopaz. Hugs. I hope you can get through to a therapist quickly.

DH decided not to entertain taking the teaching job. He was getting so frustrated with the process and doesn't want to burn bridges with his current employer. Hopefully something will come up next year. He wants to get back to teaching but it makes the most sense when DS1 goes to kindergarten

Oooh I love this thread! And I’ve been trying to post in it for days but keep getting distracted. Leaf 🌱 - ave you tried using witch hazel? I use it as a toner, cleaner and I use it on any pimples that have cropped up and it’s been the cheapest life saver ever. snowmoon and katietopaz big hugs to you ladies stardust84 I’m so sorry to hear about your mom ❤️ Ups; We have a nursery! We were finally able to move stuff to the basement and set up a room for B. And L actually since we switched what we were planning the nursery to be L’s room. The heat wave has broken and everyone can breathe again. I should’ve let SO put air conditioning in the house when he wanted to. Downs; Crib transition has been going well except for the last 2 nights where B has been up ever 2 hrs. Wtf child. I am really struggling to lose weight. I’m trying to be patient but that is not a strength of mine.
