My kid has hit such a sleep regression that I want to run away 😩 addymac , I feel so bad because I know you have been dealing with this shit for awhile. Is N doing any better? She wouldn’t go down at all last night and refused to nap so was a disaster. After 4 attempts, she finally went to bed at 10:00. She woke at 3:45 but did go back down till almost 7:30. She then fought nap today screaming like crazy for 30 mins until she finally gave up and fell asleep. I’ll be pulling my hair out tonite if it’s a repeat performance. Im so sorry. Is there a sleep regression at this age? J had 2 really bad weeks of noghttime sleep but now the past week has been awesome. I think he was trying to work some things out. Hopefully its the same for you and sleep gets better. We are having trouble getting j down for nap but once he is down he sleeps 2 hours. I haven't really looked regarding a regression but I also wondered if she was figuring out news things. She seems to be talking so much more so maybe she is just super stimulated. Yes after fighting napping yesterday, she slept over 2 hours so clearly needed it. She went down fine last night but was up at 12:15 and 5:30, ugh. She did go back to sleep till like 7:45 but it still sucks getting up that much. And of course since she slept late this morning, her nap will probably be screwed, lol

jt2378 omg I’m so sorry. That sounds exhausting. He... not really. It’s really frustrating bc he slept great last night. Bc he went to sleep with the babysitter. He went to bed on his own. And slept until 530am. But for me and dH he is still screaming unless we stay in there with him until he falls asleep and when he wakes up if we aren’t there he screams bloody murder until we come in. 🙄 at this point it’s obvious he’s being an asshole bc if he can do it for the nanny or our other babysitter, he can do it. But gone are the days of STTN. He’s done it three times in the last two months. THREE TIMES IN TWO MONTHS 😭😢😫😩 This is my life with J. Unless he is in our bed he is up 3 times at least. My eldest didn't start regularly sttn until she a little over 2.

My eldest loves holding her and J has started petting her like the cat and bringing her card to play with.

Sometimes i think i would really love to have another and then i think....we are sleep deprived with a 20 month old....do we really want to start all over? That plus the fact that we are old and our only shot is the 1 fair grade embryo we have frozen so.....

Yeah I mean I’m so sleep deprived I’m probably just insane bc of it but either way our finances are not in a position for snither kid right now cuz we can’t afford our preschool and our nanny soooo we will wait for awhile. But man oh man babies are looking so cute these days.

addymac When DS was 18 months I got the baby fever too! I think that’s a super common time to be like “ooh squishy babies!!!”. I am all about snuggling other babies and I’d probably talk myself into another if it was an option. Then I internally smack some sense into myself. yellowcat Amazing that 3rd time was the charm for a good sleeper! Years of sleep deprivation is the worst. I’m still waiting for DS to sleep all night (he’s 4.5 😭😭). @starzia Take it easy on yourself (easier said than done, I know) Do you have a safe space in your home that your DD can play in while you prop your feet up? That’s what I had to do with DS. Also, DS broke his foot at 2 just by tripping over his own feet in our house. 🤦🏻♀️ Their bones are so easily breakable- I don’t know how DDs climbing shenanigans hasn’t resulted in an injury yet!

So we signed the paperwork today to dispose of our last embryos at the fertility clinic. It was a little surreal after all that effort (and money!) for it all to be over. And even though we had finally settled on having two, got a surprise third, I still was second guessing it! Seriously I do not want another and all our frozen transfers failed so the odds we're against us. I guess I just liked having the option. But we just couldn't justify the fees anymore.

Huge hugs to you. We are here now. I dont want to pay the fees and we are both older ( 38 and 49) but its making me sick thinking about disposing of our last embryo because of all the time and effort it took to get it.

R has been pretty fussy lately. She wants to do stuff and we don’t let her. She started climbing on our dining room chairs today and was still determined after I pushed them all the way in... And, this was yesterday...

Oh my bsouls she’s adorable but I’d be having a panic attack haha. Over here, sick AGAIN. seriously. I’m so over it. He was healthy and then we went to some playspaces and clearly pother people are not quarantining their sick children well bc we’re all sick. Again. I’m so miserable and so is N. I feel so badly for him.

I’m sorry addymac that you are both sick again. It sucks! My girls are coughing here and there so hoping it doesn’t turn full blown. I know it’s extra but that’s basically why we avoid play places through like almost summer because I feel like we are sick so much already that I can’t risk more germs ugh. D1 has been asking to go to this indoor trampoline place that has foam ball pits and I’m like “yes, probably like in June” 😂 I’m glad M recovered quickly @starzia and hope the tubes work well. It helps most kids so much.

J did his first egg hunt yeaterday and loved it. He didnt care what was in the eggs he just loved being outside and with the other kids. It was so fun.
J has been sleeping really well once he falls asleep. Hes been fissing and crying for like 20 minutes before going down which is new but then sleeping well. The past 2 weeks he wakes up every night once but i just give him a hug and he goes right back to sleep. Its been amazing. Last night he was so upset i couldnt get him calmed down. He ended uo being awake feom 130 to 3 so we are all exhausted today

N is such a shithead. I had to work night shift Wednesday and Thursday nights and he STTN for Ben both fucking nights. Friday night I was home but we told him I was going to work after bedtime and he slept til 6am. Last night he’s super sick and I forgot to tell him I was going to work and he was up at 230.
Why can’t he STTN for me!!!! I’m so sick and have to work today and Bens at work overnight tonight so it’s just me and N and I work tomorrow so ughhhhhh

And last night when Ben went to eat him at 230 he screamed bloody murder but I refused to go in (which usually stops his screaming) so he screamed until Ben took him out of the crib. 🤷🏻♀️

addymac. They know somehow. That's exactly how my terrible sleeper ds1 was. He would never sleep for me and then one random night when dh had him he would sleep through the night and dh would be gloating and I'd be so pissed. They are crafty. So sorry you are sick again. Ds1 keeps asking to go to all the indoor play places, and I just can't. My paranoia over getting a stomach bug is a little unhealthy. bsouls. Love the climbing picture. You guys have the same toy kitchen we have. D's 1 climbs up to the highest point of the pantry and then toddler H tries to follow. He's all over the kitchen table constantly. I give up. Last night, toddler H was up congested from line 1:40 to 3:30, and then our power was surging from 2-4. Our noise machine doesn't have battery back up and he can't sleep without it, so i am a zombie even though dh was great and got him most of the time.

addymac that is soo Interesting that he will STTN while you are “working”. So now you can say good night. Mammas going to work every night right ? DD STTN 50% of the time. We sometimes get this 3 am wake up. It’s not to hard to get her back to sleep. But I wish it would stop. DH was all you need to complete ignore it. This is why she doesn’t sstn. Last night was bad. Like she peed through her pjs all over her blanket and sheet. And she pooped (she hasn’t pooped overnight in like 6 months ) . No one can sleep through that ! After I situated all that I got her some water and she fell asleep in .2 seconds. Only for 3 more hours. Early day as usual. Waking up between 6-7 is normal here. Our normal wake up is 6am...blah

Me too usually, sometimes 6:30 if she STTN but she goes to bed so damn late, between 8:30-9:00 so she is definitely not getting the hours she should but she is not tired to go to bed earlier so 🤷🏻♀️

So remember when I said the kids were coughing here and there? Yup of course D1 is full blown sick and just fucking hacking everywhere, ugghhhh. How do y’all with older kids teach them to cover their damn mouths? I say it eleventy times a day but of course it doesn’t matter. So we are basically all doomed!
