J is a mess. I went to work yesterday and h e had a good day. How were very, as soon as I got home dh left and was gone until after bedtime. I dont know if both things have j stressed or what but hes been up 3 times tonight which hasn't happened in months. I'm so tired.

@starzia I dont plan on stopping his binky for sleep for a while. We've tried milk in a cup but he gets mad. So I'm going slow with it but hopefully we can be off bottles in a few weeks.

@starzia, yeah she has had milk a couple times out of a cup but not much for quantity. So far she seems unimpressed. Never took a paci so don’t have to deal with that at least.

Sorry about J king26. I know I have said it lately but M has been so miserable. I hope it’s either the leap or just a phase but she has been sleeping shitty too and I’m so tired.

Hi pepperpottsj! Glad to see you around again. Sorry for the struggles with work and parenting, I hope YH was able to secure another job. And I hope Wallie is well too!

Happy belated birthday baby D muscari! I’m sure you’ll have a lovely party.

@easilyunamused, I jinxed myself, my period just arrived!! 😭😞 nnnnooooooo

Hi 👋 pepperpottsj!

jt2378 So sorry!

I’m barely holding on this week bc the kids combined have kept me up all night every night... like I’ve gotten maybe 2-3 hrs of sleep each day this week. Combined with a week long migraine...😭 And then they are grumpy most of the day from not sleeping. I swear it’s a leap for DD and teething- then DS is coming down from our trip to visit grandparents.

I need to start tapering DDs nursing down too- 9-10x a day is way too much.

[king26]

pennylane I'm so sorry you have been up all night. These leaps suck

[king26]

J was up twice last night and up at 5....I'm dying. I'm at a training all day and I'm pissed because I did the same one with same speaker 2 years ago. Wtf?

J is 1 tomorrow with party on Sunday. I have so much to do!@@

[jt2378]

I’m so sorry pennylane. I’m dying with 1 not sleeping, can’t imagine if it was both 😞

[king26]

And we just had several more people say they are coming. I now have 25 people coming to this party when we thought it was 21. Grrr! RSVP was the 14th.

Oh noooo!!

Sorry I've been absent. We've been at the beach with dh's brother's family. It's fun, but stressful with the kids, and our kids are younger than theirs, so it can be a challenge to coordinate activities. But overall great vacation.

I totally forgot about switching from bottles and pacis. The pediatrician wasn't worried about his paci at his last appt, so I'll wait and see what she says at his one year. I guess we will gradually phase the bottle out. I'm a little hesitant to get him on the sippy cup bc ds1 is almost four and still loves a sippy cup, so maybe I'll do the 360 cup or something. He hates cow's milk so far-- only thing he won't eat

Struggling to catch up!

In NY at my parents’ place! We went on a day date to get some Brooklyn pizza and doughnuts while my parents hung out with him and they keep saying he’s such an easy kid. Nice to hear!

First night he had to sleep with us bc he would scream unless he was in bed with us but last night he slept 9:30-6:30 in his pump! Couldn’t ask for more when you’re sharing a room with him and there are no blackout curtains!! I wonder how long it will last lol 😂😭

We are still giving bottles and pacis. I tried to give him WCM in a sippy cup and he was like WTF NO. but he drank it just fine in the bottle. So I think we will have our work cut out for us.

[jt2378]

Sounds like a nice little visit so far! addymac

Hope he still sleeps well for you the rest of the trip 🤞

[yellowcat]

This is what happened to us. No BC and here we are with a third kid on the way. MJ is set on getting snipped he has already made consultation appointments. I would be happy just using condoms but he wants to- it s his choice.

OMG J barely slept and now he won't nap the kid is a beast. They both start daycare tomorrow and I'm seriously worried about how this kids going to handle it.

Oh man. I wonder what is up. Is he teething or not feeling well?

I am guessing teething but not sure

[yellowcat]

My kids are still awake it is almost 10 here wtf? Just needed to get that out

Oof I hope they fall asleep soon for you

pennylane is your dh still oot? That was you right? I hope the kids let you sleep tonight. 🤞🏼

N screamed for about 15min then Ben went in and he screamed for a bit more and finally 40min later he fell asleep. Ugh poor kid. Apparently he woke up earlier than we thought from his nap and was super tired and super hungry bc my parents failed to tell us when he woke up and when he last ate before going out to eat... cue meltdown at restaurant and Ben just walking with him outside and of course it’s the day with the slowest service in the world.... it shouldn’t taken 15 min to get a check when there are only two tables in the restaurant!!!!

Fx he just stays sleeping the rest of the night 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

[yellowcat]

addymac one is out the other is fighting it. This was their first week at daycare and both have been napping which is great but since they gave that up when they were home I think it is messing up bedtime. Hopefully this is just an adjustment...

[king26]

Happy birthday to J. Hes been up at 1030, 1230, and 230. Went back to sleep the first 2 times without much trouble but has now been up for 45 minutes. I am dying, especially since I was up until 11 working on his cake and cupcakes.

[king26]

He ended up being up from 230 to 415. Hes now up at 620. It's going to be a long day!

[addymac]

Happy birthday to J! king26

Well you will all be happy to know that N had a terrrrible night. I totally jinxed myself! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m so freakin tired and my arms hurt from wrangling him in bed all night. Woof.

[pennylane]

Happy Birthday to J king26! Sorry about the crappy sleep.

[pennylane]

addymac Oh goodness I feel for you- I had to do that when we were at my ILs for a week. My arms and neck were so sore from sleeping awkwardly with DD.

[king26]

I'm right there with you lady. I'm exhausted. Sending you all the coffee.

Happy birthday to J! @king 26

I’m sorry for the shitty night ladies, M is doing the same and it’s killing me. We are down the beach and she woke up screaming in the pnp at 11:30 and wouldn’t go back down. Ended up in bed with us so miserable uncomfortable sleep. I may have been crying because AF and all added to the emotions 😭

Not looking forward to another night of sleep here ugh. I really hope this kid goes back to semi better sleep we were getting before

[bsouls]

I started watching Adam Ruins Everything. The having a baby episode is good.




T is a mostly a horrible 4.5 year old. R is a good one year old. But, both are busy.

I’ve been binge eating this month, so today I’m trying to get my eating back under control but I feel miserable.

I hope M sleeps better when you get home. I feel like we get a few weeks of good sleep then something happens and we have a crappy week. It's a never ending cycle.

[thinkchocolate05]

jt2378 Our beach sleep sucked too. Hope it gets better

bsouls Oh no, is 4.5 really not easier than almost four? DS1 is 4 in November and is TOUGH now with tantrums, yelling, whining, and negotiating, and even hitting sometimes. I was hoping it would get easier soon
