Im exhausted. Saturday we went to my parents. J slept on the way there but refused on the way home. He then refused to go to bed without his binky. He was up until 10. Then he woke up at 1045 and 1130. Sunday he was up at freaking 6! He was exhausted and so was i. He was also crabby. I had to lay on the floor and hold his hand to get him to nap yesterday ( i was channeling you addymac) but he slept 2 hours. Last night he went down after 30 minutes of crying but was up at 11, 130, and 5. At 5 i must have fallen asleep on his floor because i woke up at 645 on his floor. But he seems happier today so thats good. But the binky being gone during the day is totally fine but during sleep its still not good. In good news this is my last week of school!!!!!! I cant wait to be done. Over it. |

We put together L’s big girl bed on Saturday. The first night she went to sleep easy but was up a couple times. Last night she went to sleep easy and slept all night. I am shocked bc I was expecting a nightmare like we had with DS. This is going to make traveling so much easier this summer!
Now if I could get her to stop waking up at 5am we’d be doing great!

I seriously think I need to go back to night shift or just never be around for bedtime.
Last night dh was working overnight and N wouldn’t go to bed unless I held his hand or rubbed his back. And then after his 2am wake up we tried for an hour to go to sleep with him in his bed and I finally ended up on the futon with him, asleep on top of me. Physically on top of me. Same thing for naptime today. HAD to be on top of me to fall asleep. 😣
Tonight? I’m working since 7p and dh texted me that N fell asleep by himself in his bed. No crying, nothing.
What. The. Heck. 🥴
In other news, my hair is so greasy lately I have to wash it every third day. Idk how to make it go longer between washes. Two days and it’s done. And I think the toner the guy put to fix my hair is already washing out even though i bought color preserving shampoo etc. ugh. I’m debating going somewhere else so they can just fix it completely. But we just bought a new car and I basically just bought a new wardrobe bc my weight and body changed so much after N and then after stopping BFing/pumping that I’m finally over ill fitting clothes. At least I’m working some overtime? 🤦🏻♀️ I don’t think we will be doing a summer vacation though. 👎🏼
My birthdays next week. I have a 90min massage scheduled in the afternoon. I get to spend the morning with N and I’m debating asking my nanny to stay until after bedtime so I can have the night off since dh will be working overnight that day. Go have a nice dinner somewhere by myself.
I hurt my thumb tendons back in January and did all the things to fix it including a brace / Advil, then two rounds of steroid shots, and now it’s time for surgery. I have to be off for two weeks for recovery so I get surgery July 1. Bonus is I get to be off work for the 4th of July since originally I was scheduled to work it. Woo! But the pain is so bad some days, I can barely use my right thumb. Have you ever tried to not use your thumbs? ITS REALLY HARD GUYS. THERES A REASON THUMB USE IS SO IMPORTANT! 🤣🙈

addymac hi sleep twin. J now wants us to hold his hand or rub back to fall asleep. Dh slept in there from 2 to 3 last night holding his hand. J would have happily slept snuggled in my arms but then i cpuldnt sleep. What the hell? Also, sorry you need surgery, that sucks but its nice you are off for a while. A 90 minute massage sounds amazing

Damn guys, I’m sorry about the sleep woes. I hope you can break this soon because sleeping on floors, holding hands sounds like a nightmare. This kid exhausts me all her waking hours so I can’t imagine dealing with that 😬 Sorry about your surgery addymac I hope it helps. |

Yeah, definitely jinxed myself on saying the bed switch was going well. Last night it took over 2 HOURS for me to get her to bed. I ended up just putting her in the crib and leaving her be, bc I was over it. My H is seriously the L sleep whisperer- every time he does nap or bedtime it’s super easy and she’ll nap for hours. Me, haha, I’m lucky if she naps 45 minutes. Must be the same dynamic in your house with N addymac. |

addymac DS1 was like that so I totally feel your pain. I would def ask your nanny to do bedtime on your birthday so you can get a break. Have you tried a clarifying shampoo? Maybe you have some residual buildup from some product? That might help extend time between washes.

I totally forgot today was a PD day at DS1's school - he had 2 days off last week too - so I totally got him ready to go and took him to school. And then realized it was closed and had to drag him the hour to work. He sat in on two important meetings. Thankfully, he was a trooper and let me get some work done.

Why do so many of us have terrible sleepers? I am on my way back to the states after 2 weeks away and from what MH says J and or 3 year old have been a hotmess with sleeping.
I really enjoyed sleeping all night...and I can never sleep on planes so all that rest is lost. Of course I will be on sleep duty immediately tomorrow when I finally make it home.

😴 day off so I was on sleep duty last night. He’s being very cuddly today so that helps make up for the bad nights sleep. He’s so lucky he’s cute.

Apparently august 2017 sleepers just suck. J was better last night but it still took 30 minutes to get him down, he was up at 300 for 15 minutes then up at 530 for the day. |

Our nanny put N to bed last night. He STTN. He woke up at 6. Cried out. Got out of his bed. Picked up his toy truck that was on the floor. Got back into bed. And fell asleep until 7:30.
Like. WHAT. So I KNOW he’s capable of doing it. Why won’t he do it for us???? I’m so depressed about it right now. My sleep training book doesn’t have a section that covers “when they sleep for others but not you”

For us it takes us forever to get them to take one nap. I don't have the answer either. |

I got him a card.
Which is more than what he did for me for MD so I’m good. He claims he did cook a nice dinner but 1. We always get those steak kebabs whenever they’re on sale at WF and 2. We always have to eat dinner soooooo. It’s not like it was a nice dinner out even. 😒

A women obviously has something to do with Mother’s Day coming before Father’s Day so we could asses the amount of effort My first MD , DH did absolutely jack shit. I worked 7-3 came home to a trashed house and no Mother’s Day anything. Not even a happy Mother’s Day comment. I didn’t say anything till the next day I was shocked. I don’t need much. I just couldn’t believe there was NOTHING This time I got a card and chocolate. And made my own waffles. We took a trip to Cabellas. That was good enough for me. His first Father’s Day I got him a card that was narrated like it was from DD. And I can’t remember what we did with the day. This year I know he wants to go out to the range. Which he never has time to do anymore but other than normal day. I don’t want FD/MD to be crazy amounts of work. It’s defiantly a holiday where it’s the thought that counts, and we are all just trying to do a good job parenting. So recognition /appreciation is nice. . Agree - the recognition is nice. I also think of it as a day where the other person can pick up some extra slack so mom or dad can get a few extra minutes to themselves and do something they enjoy. |

Agree re: recognition. And usually the slack. For me, it’s him picking up the slack. But funnily for him it’s his one day off since 6/5 so he wants to do it all with N. So for him this year Father’s Day is doing all the parenting. He got up motn with him, he’s playing with him right now, he gets to help feed. It’s a nice break for me and nice for him to spend his whole day with N. I did let him take a super long shower without bugging him though haha
