J was in pain last night and it sucked. I think its tht last molar. He is sleeping better at night though and ive found if i turn off all lights at night he sleeps past 6 whoch is nice.
Im stressing about life lately and its been rough. I fee like everyone wants me to do a million things and im trying my best but im making no one happy.
Dh and i had a big tak this weekend so ary least i feel better on the home front.

Ugh I’m sorry king26. I feel like when one feels overwhelmed it’s just so hard to get back to calmness. Lately I feel so overwhelmed and overworked and I just want a day to reset and I can’t get it. Oof. Noah woke up throwing up at 3am this morning. So I had to call in sick to work bc he was throwing up every 15-20min until about 8:30. At one point it was just like dry heaving, poor kid. So today is shot. At least he’s doing better now but ugh. I am tired. |

king26, once again, twinning. M had a rough night too and seemed in pain from a molar popping through. She woke up just rolling around crying, I felt so bad. She did fall back asleep but was up screaming at 5:30. I need to remember Tylenol tonite before bed. I forgot last night. I'm sorry about poor N! addymac. I hope you and YH are spared and he is feeling better soon! UGH

M is such a different baby than D1. She is so damn clingy and screechy. She literally has an ear piercing screech about 99.9% of the time. She is truly exhausting, lol. Good thing she is cute, oof.
MH's grandma passed away this weekend (she was 97 and died in her sleep so she had a good, long life!) so we have those services Wednesday and Thursday. I am also in the exhausted camp and can't seem to have a minute to myself. I need to address all my Christmas cards and finish shopping and wrapping it all...

jt2378 oh I’m sorry about your DHs grandma. Still tough even if it was a nice long life and a good passing. Thoughts for you guys and his fam. Poor M and J! Molars stink. N has one that finally broke the skin and his other gums just look swollen but 🤷🏻♀️ My mom was asking if that was why he puked but I don’t think so... but what do I know.

Oh wow guys sorry about all the sick miserable kids. My two have been so long since forever and MH and I finally got hit with it.
I hear everyone on the exhaustion front. I am having legit panic attacks just thinking about having a newborn again. I had to skip my class' final today because I was so messed up, thank goodness I have a TA who could cover.
MH and I need another talk about money and his work situation. I need him to either commit to staying home or go get a job that is not in academia because that shit is not working out and I am sick of living paycheck to paycheck when we both have PhDs. My sister who is a custodian makes more than us. I am over it. End rant!

yellowcat. Damn I’m sorry. Academia is HARD. esp if you have two looking for jobs in a limited area. I hope you guys can find a solution that makes both of you happy and works for your family. Luckily N seems to have bounce back. PRAYING he sleeps well tonight. My parents let me nap this afternoon for like 2h and it was GLORIOUS. I could have slept for like 57 more hours but knowing N was not my worry and I could roll over and go back to sleep halfway through my nap made it so much better, haha!

@starzia yellowcat finances suck. I’m picking up some overtime shifts this month on every one of DHs days off because I can’t get a handle on some of our expenses right now. I’m hoping it’s bc it was the holidays, but yeeesh. No way can we afford another kid (that is not even fully on the table atm) right now. And our nanny gets a raise in January. I need to do a complete rehaul of my budget but the amount of money we are spending at the grocery store has me SHOOK. I already cut out Whole Foods and try to stock up on staples when there are sales but I need to figure out something else. Noah is eating me out of house and home lol with his appetite and love for fruits. |

addymac I know! We have literally cut back on everything. We got our grocery bill down a bit by cutting out some meat. We we're both feeling terrible and decided to be part time vegetarians again. I feel a lot better but it is hard trying to get two toddlers their meat when I looked at it and it makes me feel ill.

Oh my god. I guess N had a stomach bug yesterday that he passed onto to me. I have spent an ungodly amount of time in the bathroom today. I’m also grateful the Walgreens by us ignores the no plastic bag rule bc literally every bag I’ve thrown up in has been a Walgreens bag. I’m also so thankful it hit me today when my parents are still in town so they’re watching him and my mom is making me chicken soup and babying me. Fuuuuuck.
Sorry for a gross post.
I would also like tips on tooth brushing bc N is so not about it anymore he won’t even open his mouth. 🙈

addymac, oh no! I’m so sorry you got what N had. I hope he feels better and it passes quickly for you! jt2378, it must be an A17 baby thing. Because A screams so much and so loud. Ear piercing scream. Hopefully that doesn’t last too long into toddlerhood?! yellowcat, finances are always such a downer. Especially this time of year. I hope you can get some rest and downtime before the newest addition arrives! king26, is it this time of year? I swear I can’t catch my breath it’s so busy right now. Really stresses me out too. Hope J sleeps better for you!

@starzia, I wish I had some grand advice. I just let A chew on an adult toothbrush a few months back. Sang that song from Grease? The brushing commercial song? Lol Idk he just took to it. MH is the one who will do it most days and he likes it.

Last week i went to aldi, martins, and walmart and my bill was almost $200. |

My J is now in our bed most nights because he broke us and we just can't deal with 3 wake ups a night. This has to stop before the new one is here.
I hope all the puking stops for everyone!

We went away thanksgiving weekend and j slept in our bed with us while we were away. It took about 10 days for us to ger him back in his crib at night. I was finally so exhausted that we just went hard core and let him cry and hes been great for the past week. I hope you figurd something out soon. |

Ugh, sorry for all the sick and teething babies!
M has been so difficult to get to sleep lately. Once she falls asleep she is fine and usually sttn but it's the getting to sleep that sucks. Yeesh! She screams and cries and it's just awful and stressful. The last two nights I had to lie on the floor next to her crib to get her to lay down and finally fall asleep. It took almost an hour. I hope it's just a phase. She's totally fine all day too, so I don't think it's teeth or anything.
