I have a confession:
I got suckered into watching April The giraffe two years ago for over a month waiting for her to have her baby and I've been sucked back in this time around. Hopefully it will only be a few days of analyzing tail lifts 🤣

Hi, all. I stayed home with C today. She was screaming off and on all night. I think I found a molar this morning so that explains it, but I was worried she was getting sick. I gave her Motrin during her 4 am wake up and I think it helped a lot. We both slept until 8 after that which was, I think, much needed for both of us. Prior to that last 4 am wake up, she had screamed every time I was finally in a deep sleep. 😖 H took DD1 to day care which was appreciated.
But anyway. She is napping and I’m eating lunch.

What a day. My van was a shit show today and I’m exhausted. I’m more mad because I missed coffee with my SIL and I missed going out for lunch with my sister and her kids for my nephew’s bday. Then of course N napped through all my van breakdowns/waiting for DH so he wouldn’t nap all afternoon and now at 5:30 is a grouchy hot mess and I just need to make supper. DH is now having to work late because he spent all afternoon rescuing me from said van shenanigans.

I feel like absolute crap. Went to work today which was probably a bad idea, definitely calling in tomorrow.
In baby news, does anyone feel like their LO is getting even cuter lately? I think it’s related to the theory that babies are cute so we don’t kill them when they’re being difficult— C is throwing tantrums left and right lately but I think he just looks so dang adorable! I’m probably not articulating myself very well lol I’m in a DayQuil/low grade fever haze.

Ds2 had his well baby check. He dropped % for height and weight, the doctor isn't too concerned and we have a nutritionist on board anyways so I'll see if there are other recommendations. He did get diagnosed with another double ear infection which I am not surprised about at all- 3rd one this year. I opted for a shot of antibiotics instead of battling with augmentin. If his ears aren't cleared by Friday we will go see an ENT to talk tubes.

But also, she is so so sweet and cuddly and just a big fluff ball most of the time (when she isn’t screaming). Their little personalities are just the best.

Hugs cdnfarmgirl Feel better, pootsen! N drank a ton before bed last night so I assumed when he woke up crying at 2:30 that it was his diaper and he'd go right back down after changing. I was half right...

Feel better soon pootsen, We've been having a bit of opposite with E and sleeping. He's been doing really well at night. He's still up 2-3 times, but it's been a huge change this week compared to his every 1-2 hours we've been dealing with for months. The other night he slept a whole 8 hours before waking up. This is a big deal for us. I'm sure it won't last but I'll take it right now. When I get home tonight I should have a package from Sephora. I'm very excited. I used to be very into make-up but stopped doing a lot when E was born from a lack of time. I still don't have a lot of time in the morning but I can fit in some mascara and lipstick.

cakewench, neither of my boys have ever woken up due to a wet diaper. They did when they pooped but never from peeing. Does he have a sensitivity to being wet?

Good luck either way jules1614! sarahandben108, ooh, enjoy your sephora order! I'm waiting for one for myself from Old Navy and one for DD from Bonds Australia Surprise, DH's sister is here (which I knew about) and she's staying with us (which I didn't know about!) It's FINE and Jojo is happy to have someone to follow around the house, but I'd have been a bit more prepared cleaning and food-wise if I would have known. Oh well. Take out tonight I think! And maybe we'll watch a movie? I'm just about to head home from work, I feel like I had a pretty productive day considering I also feel like I slacked off a lot.

Ds2 slept through the night 🙌 we realized he's way over the maximum weight (he's over 25 lbs) for the infant Tylenol/Motrin so moved him up to the toddler version.

E slept from 7-11:30, then 11:30-3:30, then 4-5:30. I know that seems like a lot of wakeups but for him that is amazing.

Parenting while sick is pure hell. I’ve been spiking fevers since Wednesday night and just feel awful. There will be lots of screen time today.
I also feel terrible because one of my coworkers is immunocompromised and I think I got her sick by going to work on wed when I thought it was just a cold. Now I’m afraid it’s the flu and I really hope she’s okay.
Luckily the boys seem to be okay so far. I’m hoping their flu shots work even if mine didn’t.

And you wouldn't have knowingly exposed anyone to the flu so cut yourself some slack, it's hard to differentiate between a cold and flu at first. Also, I don't know about your hospital system but ours does not foster an environment where people feel like they can call in for a cold without penalization.

Antibiotics didn't work so he got a second round today and will likely get a third tomorrow. They were hoping to get us in with ENT Monday so we will see. Luckily he's in pretty good spirits!
ETA- apparently they fast track kids so appointment is Monday and surgery scheduled for thursday! I may push it back only because I have a work class that I teach that I may not be able to get out of
