Good morning.
Last night was slightly better. I really want to night wean him but he doesn't like soy milk so I feel like he needs the extra calories and fat from nursing. I am almost at the end of my freezer stash so he really needs to start liking alternative milks!! He loves the soy yogurt but I haven't found one that is nutritionally equivalent to whole milk yogurt.
The allergy clinic has a nutritionist that you can meet with so I plan on setting up an appointment soon. He has become increasingly picky with foods at home- apparently he eats everything for daycare.
Ugh, babies man...😆

jules1614 ds1 always ate better at daycare when he was little. It was something about the other littles eating at the same time. 🤷

Poor DS2. He got bit today at daycare. There is a known biter and apparently DS2 was crawling on him and got bit. The mark is pretty impressive. Another kid started coming over by him this afternoon and he burst out into tears- he's traumatized!! Also, I really hate how they refer to the kids as "friends" as in "a friend bit DS2 today" on the incident report. Yeah I don't bite my friends lol. Hope he recovers quickly.

Morning, need to get working on payroll but I just placed an amazon order for some Christmas odds and ends I needed. Just need to get some GC's this weekend and I should be done. Also decided to try to join the world of healthy living now instead of waiting until January 1, wish me luck with all the holiday treats lol.

laurensc927, we tried a blanket with him last night and it didn't do anything. We brought him into bed with us and he still slept terribly. My H had to go pick him up this morning from daycare because he was a mess. He usually has a short nap before going over there in the morning and he didn't. SO he had been up for like 6 hours. There is definitely something going on with him right now and it could be teeth or a leap. We are not really sure but he is not himself.

I hope whatever it is is over soon and you all can get some sleep!

I've had surprise ear infections with ds1 that messed with his sleep. Do you have a white noise machine? Any foods that might be bugging his tummy? I'm just trying to think through what I try to blame crappy sleep on- so far I haven't found an answer...

We put a cup of water in AJ's crib and it helped with some wake ups. You could try that? He also has a blanket and a stuffed manatee. I'm sorry, it's so tough when they dont sleep. It will get better ❤

Thanks, everyone. We know he is teething so that may play a major role. He has gotten at least 6 teeth since October. They appear to be coming in all at once. He was just at the doctor's last week and his ears were clear then. He doesn't seem to have any foods bothering his belly. We have reintroduced gas drops as a precaution either way. We are trying to live with the mantra that "this to shall pass" but it's difficult when it feels like his sleep is actually getting worse.
My H brought him home, gave him some Motrin, and put him to sleep immediately and now it seems like he's completely fine. His sleep schedule at home during the day is very different than at daycare. We nap him whenever he acts tired and at daycare, he has a nap time which doesn't always fits when he's tired. Like I said, today he was awake for like 6 hours and I think he was just so overtired he actually couldn't sleep.

Also, I really hate how they refer to the kids as "friends" as in "a friend bit DS2 today" on the incident report. I’m sorry that happened. DD has been in the bit and biter position at DC. And I get how saying “friend” is kind of fluffy, but they really could be friends. My DD bit her best friend about a month ago and I was mortified. It had happened before at school too. Unfortunately the fact that they play together all the time just increased the likelihood that the few incidents of DD acting out was around BF. It sucks so much, and I hope your DS isn’t afraid of his peers. 😢

We got a report that ds1 hit a friend awhile ago (like 6+ months ago) and I asked him about it. Apparently the friend hit him first after ds1 took the toy he was playing with 🙄 I always got upset when he got bit when he was little though so I understand ❤️

Hello! Just finishing up at work and then I’m going to go to the Y to workout right after C is in bed. You’re my inspiration thatgolfb ! My weight was terrible this morning and I need to get back on track. C has been waking up sooo early lately and I’m exhausted but I need to cut out the excuses. And the cookies lol. Aww thank you! And awesome job going to work out! My motivation has been lacking, as a direct inverse correlation to the number of cookies I have consumed lately, for some reason... I am just trying to make sure my workouts balance my cookies. Sleep deprivation is no joke. I am just coming out of the sleep regression haze and it makes SUCH a difference.

Hi guys! I’m having an excellent evening. Currently at the bar of a Mexican restaurant waiting for my work besties to get here for our Xmas party. I stopped at home for a bit after work to ease the transition of ILs to DHs care and it was a hot mess- c was crying over nothing, ds1 was refusing dinner, and DH was crabby AF. So I see-ya-latered outta there.

He ate a huge dinner, pooped, and was laughing. 🤷🏼♀️ I did talk with his baby sitter because he wasn’t coming home with a lot of food missing from his bag. I told her to try offering more more frequently. I’m not sure he’s been eating enough and that’s part of why he’s been fussy.

Thank you quinn and pootsen. I swear I wasn't looking for hairpats but I do appreciate them (and you guys ❤️). sarahandben108 ds2 is always in a better mood after he poops. But yeah he could have been hungry too! That's a bad combo, hungry, tired, and got a poop. I'm glad he is better! pootsen dh was in a mood tonight too. I definitely would have preferred to go out and have fun than deal with him being mopey. I'm getting some work done (well, taking a bathroom break). My house is so quiet as all of the boys are in bed and seemed to be asleep. My plan is to work until 9 and then finish second chance Christmas on Hulu.

Add me to shit sleep train. I moved DD2s nap time to coincide with DD1s. It works great they both sleep 2+ hrs in the afternoon from 1230 to 230. Yet now both of them won’t sleep at night. Tonight I’m just leaving them in there to figure it out. I’m not about rocking for 3-4hrs

Ds2 had a very very minor hives reaction at dinner. I wiped his hand, gave him an antihistamine and the hives improved quickly. It was just on one hand. He didn't eat any of his dinner so I guess that's a blessing that it wasn't in his stomach but I have absolutely no clue what triggered it. We had a few new items but nothing with dairy as far as I can tell...

Sorry ds is sick ldubhawksfan, hope he gets well soon. Also, I have the song from DD's little people toy stuck in my head all the time now. ... Maybe next time you'll go first... 🤦 Sending you hugs in general grumpycat, I'm not looking forward to the challenges as dd grows and learns to test me! Enjoy pootsen! I'm really hoping DD's poop sitch improves. Today was only once and a bit firmer, but still quite pale 🤷 this is my life now. She ate a ton today, so it doesn't seem to be bothering her. Although she also hasn't been sleeping great. And now today I'm feeling kind of queasy... Not pregnant!
