I am here! I really hope our board does not die!

May moms - hows the 4 month sleep regression !?
The 4 month sleep regression is hitting HARD here. DS2 used to wake up once a night, now he wakes up 3 to 4 times. He dropped a bunch of curves on the weight chart, and then got sick, so I am actually happy (kind of) he is nursing more at night to try and get back on track, but it is hard on me. And DD is waking up in the middle of the night lately, which is very out of character for her. She will go right back to sleep if I go see her (only me, not DH), which is good, but still another wakeup for me. So I am basically a zombie.

Fall things
We went to the pumpkin patch yesterday, which was really fun! And the weather is cooling down, which is nice!

Halloween costume ?
DS2 will wear a really cute PB Kids pumpkin costume, that both other kids wore on their first Halloween.
DD will be Skye from Paw Patrol, and DS1 will either be Batman, or Spiderman.

Heat on already because babies ?
Not cool enough for that yet

Baby get a first cold yet ?
He has been congested on and off, but no bad colds.
He got the Adenovirus though Threw up a few times, and then a 103 fever for 3 or 4 days. It was rough.
I will be happy when he is old enough to get a flu shot.

How are moms holding up ?
I am OK. I finally made an appointment to go talk to someone, so I am taking small steps. Going on little sleep with 3 kids is hard, but it is definitely more than that.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hey there!

Four month sleep regression hasn’t actually hit us (knock on wood!) DS has actually been sleeping through the night about 6/7 nights a week. He has struggled with naps a bit, since he’s so observant and interested in the world so it’s hard to settle down.

DS is going to be a lion for Halloween. And I have a tiger costume and DH has a bear, so together we’re lions and tigers and bears oh my!

Heat on? Oh yes! It snowed last week! But then today is 75 so it’s back off during daylight hours at least.

No colds yet, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time.

I’m doing ok. Some days are super hard. Work balance is hard. But on days that it works I’m glad I get to do what I do. I need to make more mom friends though. Some of my friends with older kids basically ghosted me after DS was born. It was weird and hurt. Other friends have been amazing and supportive though so it’s not all bad.

We just hit 4 months and so far we haven’t hit this yet, but we also aren’t really good at being scheduled at all so... meh.

How are moms holding up ?
Good! We move in a couple weeks and I’m excited to be closer to family. I’m also ready to settle into a routine. We’ve been either staying with family or had family staying with us for a good portion of O’s life.
