Hello! I was supposed to work all weekend night shift but on Saturday got pulled to work 3p-11p instead, and got cancelled and got the holiday off for Sunday night! Yayyyy! So today we are going to get our shit together and take N to a water playground in a few min and then nap and then idk what to do in the afternoon. But I’m excited!
Ns sleep has been atrocious this week and then we realized he had a fever and has been shoving everything in his mouth. He’s teething again. Poor kiddo. We opened up the futon bc he needs snuggles and we’re not CIO when he’s not feeling well. Also we tried CIO and he screamed for almost an hour before we gave up. Then I felt like an ass bc he is in pain and we didn’t realize. 😔
Oh well. He naps well so at least there’s that.

addymac, don’t feel bad. He’ll just use it for his therapy sessions when he’s older. 😂 but seriously, teething sucks. A has been a beast too. Cried most of the morning today.

I’m ready for cooler weather and these bugs to die off already. I’m over being attacked every time I leave the house.

Last night the neighbor let the dog out at 10, 1030, then 11 and it was barking like crazy. At 11 dh got up, went to j room, turned on the outside light that shines on their property, then sat on the chair in j room playing on his phone. J Wales up at 1115 and I'm pissed. The light is bright, his phone is bright. He woke him up. He says it was the dog but we have a white noise machine. He then says shouldn't he be getting up now anyhow? He didn't drink his bottle. Oh he drank his entire bedtime bottle and should have slept until 1 or 2. I was pissed. J took 1 oz of a bottle and went to sleep so he obviously wasn't ready to get up. Then he got up again at 330. Grrr.
He is also having an eczema outbreak on his face poor guy. It's so red and bumpy. We've got the medicine on it but his face has been good for like 4 months so this really sucks. I hope it clears up soon.
On a better note I'm off today so we've been hanging out all day, cooking, eating, going for walks.

We’ve had family here since Fri morning, and will have the house back to ourselves after tomorrow morning. Thank goodness bc having both set of grandparents, plus my brother, SIL and niece in the house was CRAZY. The kids are soooo off schedule/routine/overstimulated.
Tomorrow is also Ls actual 1st Birthday so yay! But it’s also sad since she’s our last baby.

pennylane, happy birthday to L. Having that many people in the house would drive me crazy too. Ds1 has his first day of preschool. He said he will be big and strong. I hope he likes it. We had to put plexiglass up around our balcony bc baby h was trying to wiggle through the ballisters. It's poorly designed with too much space between each. I think he could actually fall through. Drilling the plexiglass was hard. It cracked when I drilled too near the edge, but we finally got it installed.

J actually slept from 9:30 to 5:30, I know it was a fluke but helped since his sister woke at 1 with a nightmare so at least one was asleep. And they both were terrible this morning when we tried to leave for daycare.
Tomorrow DD starts preschool I am not sure she will like it but it will give my H a few hours off twice a week when the kids start going part time to daycare and his mom offered to pay her tuition so she is going! I also want her to make friends with some local kids since the day care is near our job and not in our school district. Probably being paranoid about it all but you know, trying to avoid therepy when they are older...

Last night j slept 730 to 330 which felt awesome since I went to bed at 930. He then went right back down until 630.

I’d like to run away from my family today. So much whining from A with teething and so much annoyance with MH. Which isn’t usual so I’m having a hard time not just being reactionary.

R has been cutting her naps short. And, being crabby. She went to bed before 6pm tonight.
T started Pre-K today. I hope she always loves school.

@starzia, A has also been extremely clingy a fussy too. Maybe it’s something around 12 months? I even was thinking a growth spurt too. Hugs, it’s so hard and frustrating. But at least you know your not alone! lol

@starzia I feel like babies are always harder for their own mothers because we are their safe place, so don't feel bad if yours seems more difficult than your friends'/neighbors'.
Ds1 liked preschool, but he wouldn't tell me anything about his day!! He's too little to be a silent man who won't communicate, lol.
Baby h has been cranky too, and is currently teething. He found some pretzels his brother left out last night and was thrilled when we didn't take them away.

The twins both have molars coming in, balancing DS1's school schedule with work is awful and DH has been a sleep deprived mess. |

I’m sorry for everyone’s bear struggles 😭
Dh goes back to work today after two weeks off and I am so sad bc I really like seeing him every day. With Ns sleep being so shitty these last two weeks we have been tag teaming it / he’s been doing more on the days I work so I’ve enjoyed a little more sleep. So I will miss that help.
Teething is the worst. We finally admitted defeat and opened up Ns futon. My body couldn’t handle being squished with him on the half futon. It’s so much nicer now being squished with him.
I could pass out right now though. Oof.

A friend suggested trying babyganics teething pods. Have any of you used these before? Our pedi said to try and stay away from meds that numb their mouth, but I don’t want to keep giving him Tylenol all the time either.
He’s not interested in teething toys or frozen stuff either.

What about a cold wet washcloth for him to suck on? Baby h always tries to shove wash cloths in his mouth. He doesn't even like popsicles? You could make them with baby applesauce if you don't want all the sugar. |

May I line up for the struggle with DH as well? We have been having arguments and fuss almost daily for I lost track of long now. After this evening's I realized I am just not liking being married no more at the moment. I am hiding in the bedroom with a sleeping baby on top of me cause I am just done fighting. But also not up for either ignoring the fact we just had another nasty nasty argument nor discussing this in attempt to make it better. Just fed up with everything really and done in for now. I may or may not have calculated how much mortgage I can het on my own and looked at places near my parents.....

I’m sorry muscari, that’s rough. Marriage is hard and so are these first few years of raising babies. I hope you are able to get on a better rhythm soon. I hope we all do, actually. ❤️ |
