wedding - Kind of different because Col currently has zero interest in wearing underwear to bed, but we're waiting for him to wake up dry more regularly. Or at least I am waiting - DH is itching to "fix" this because he thinks he's too old to still be in a pull-up. I am just happy he's doing great during the day and am assuming he'll get there, probably pretty suddenly.

Hey! We're good! He's still jaundiced. We spent our morning at the OB and the pedi. Now he's napping and I'm basically staring at a wall, lol. I'm newborn exhausted so when I have a free moment I just zone off. He's so sweet though. I'm enjoying the newborn phase this go round much more than last. Believe me, he's still a newborn. He sleeps all day, screams all night but I guess since I know it's not forever, I'm enjoying the cuddles this time.

Question: For those that have made the transition with your N13 or older kids, do y'all have any recommendations for 'combination carseats' (where they transition from 5-point harness to booster)? I checked out CSFTL and all the 'recommended' seats seem to have a lot of annoying cons. I ordered the Graco Nautilus 80 the other day. I know absolutely no pro's or con's but I took C1 to BuyBuyBaby to get baby stuff with me the other day and he loved it and asked if he could have it because "there's a cup holder and storage!" I'm such a sucker right now that C1 can have anything he asks for because I feel bad that his world is being rocked. So I ordered it when I was drugged up in the hospital. 😂 I'll let you know how it is.

Good morning, I'm on my lunch at work. DH is taking the week off of work to stain the deck and do some other work around the house.
I dropped V off at daycare this morning and he was delightful! I haven't dropped him off in weeks so I have no idea if that's typical or not.
How's everyone else, I still need to catch up...

wedding he seems interested so I'd try it out for a couple nights over the weekend, I'd put a couple layers of bedding on, mattess cover/sheet and then another mattress cover/sheet, so if he has an accident MOTN you just strip a layer. I think they are starting to understand consequences at this age so if he does wear underwear and wet the bed he sees the reason that he has to go back to pull ups KWIW?

My Peg Perego convertible says a max weight of 65lbs but doesn't have a max height, do others have a height restriction?

I checked out CSFTL and all the 'recommended' seats seem to have a lot of annoying cons. My ILs got a graco tranzitions for H in their car. I installed it with the seatbelt and it's been a good seat, no issues that I'm aware of. They got it at the beginning of the summer. It's nice and narrow too.

It should have a height restriction, it might just be that ears have to be contained by the shell. Do you know what model it is? ETA: I just looked at the primo viaggio sip (USA) manual and this is what I found ETA: I just discovered this too when I was closing out of the webpage

wedding I don't see any harm and trying a night without pull ups to see what happens. He may have an accident and he may not.

Yesterday DH spun our motion sickness-prone son too much on the Dizzy Disc and V vomited up chocolate cliff bar on our freshly cleaned carpets.
This is subsequently an anti-recommendation of the Dizzy Disc.

It was all so new last time and I didn't have that instant connection to M. My emotions have been completely different the second time around. I guess I have M to thank for that. 🙂 Hope C2 kicks the jaundice soon.

lahdeedah I'll be honest, I don't have the instant connection either time. But with the first time, everyone was like, "it's the happiest time of your life! You will never feel a love like this!" And meanwhile, I felt like I was caring for a feral raccoon that never slept. I was so confused if I was missing some great secret. I know now that a lot of things people tell you about the newborn phase are kinda revisionist history about how they remember that period while ignoring the hard parts. So I'm just enjoying the parts I love (the cuddles), while reminding myself that the hard parts only last for so long.

I was already in kind of a negative mood and then an email went out about a guy in my office getting this new position. A new position that was pitched to me about 6 months ago, which I expressed interest in and was very clear that I would like to be considered/interviewed for it when they finally got the allotted headcount for it. Yeah, that clearly never happened. And it's not that I don't think this guy will do a decent job, because I'm sure he'll do fine. But I would have as well. And I've been helping that team out on top of my normal workload for the last 6 months or so because I don't see a future for me at this company without finding a place on that team. So yeah, I'm a bit salty right now.

Feral raccoon made me LOL Cher. That's Jack now lol. Lol! Newborns are so primal. It's just their needs all the time and a huge reaction if they're not met. Jack's age at least looks you in the eye when they're being a jerk to you. 😂

I think I'm in the minority and enjoyed the newborn stage way more the first time around. I think because I only had to worry about the baby. With L I was also in a bad place with my anxiety. C also turned into basically the biggest terror you could imagine when L was born and woke up more at night than she did as well.

Back from the pedi. Ear infection is still lingering. This has been ongoing since the middle of June. We're trying a new antibiotic and if it doesn't clear up we'll probably see the ENT.
DH was giving me attitude about me going with to the appointment. He was mad that I wouldn't let him just handle it since he was home with him. I get it but it's not that I don't trust him, but I want to go along too to hear what they say. Is that so bad?

joelies I'd be super upset. Is there someone you can talk to to at least find or why you weren't considered and to let know you are upset? And I didn't Post yesterday, but I'm so glad the visit with your sister went well. Everyone is back in school today!! Hallelujah! Although when my alarm went off at 6 I was hating life, I will miss sleeping in! But it's so nice to have a few hours alone in the mornings and then just ryland in the afernoons.

I get why you'd want to be there, but I'm not going to lie...if I took off work to stay home with a sick kid and then MH took off work to go with us to the dr I'd be a bit annoyed unless it was something serious. Not that a recurrent EI isn't a big deal. That probably sounds bitchy.

Sometimes I just have to step back and let MH do things, even though I feel the need to do it.

joelies Is there someone you can speak to about it? Not that it will change anything but I'd want to make sure the powers at be know you're pissed that you weren't even considered for the position since you'd already expressed interest in it and have been helping that team out anyway. In the meantime, whom can I send dick glitter to?
