Busy day at work today. I am going to try to stay off HIH and plow through some of the piles on my desk. We'll see how it goes.
J is still getting up super early. 5:30 today. H goes in and lays on his floor and he'll sleep a little longer. I try to wait until 6:15-6:30 before letting him get up because this is just too early. I can't wait for him to be old enough to understand the Ok to Wake Clock. I may get it soon just to start getting the convent in his head

Good vibes for your u/s today shellyrWe decided to try out camping this weekend, so I'll be trying to figure out what all to pack and getting things in order this week. Storytime today, assuming kids cooperate with me. I got the Tdap yesterday at my appt and this morning my arm is so sore! Hoping it is short lived. I'm in my last week of babysitting, and so ready to be done!

librarylady, yes parenting 2 kids is hard, especially at first, but you find your groove. you'd be surprised how quickly you adjust to little to no sleep. nap when both nap, clean later. i also echo what amberlie said about naps. you'll get them in but you can't be as strict as you were with the first if you want to leave the house. napping in the car, carrier, or stroller are completely acceptable. Is the first in daycare? (I can't remember). If so, you get a bit of a break and can focus on the newborn. I will say, bf & pumping with a 2.5 year old running around was really hard for me to do. but again, you will find your groove! i think your thoughts and emotions are completely normal - freak out a bit, it's good for you, keeps you grounded. But at the end of the day, know you are a great parent and you will do just fine. ps - this goes for all you ladies who are expecting...

C woke up at 11:45, took the water i offered without a complaint and then cried hard for 5 minutes when i wouldn't pick him up, rock him or hold him. but it was 5 minutes and went to sleep until 5:45 am! Kid has been trolling us for the past 6 months with his multiple wake ups. Oh if I wake up, moan for milk and aksed to rocked, they will do it? Plan formed, suckers. I am so glad I put my foot down two nights ago. But A then came in my room at 3:45 and sad she had pee pee on her. girl wet the crap out of her bed. But it's the first accident since she began wearing panties to bed so long ago.

If I didn't see my inlaws until Christmas, that'd be ok. If I didn't see step-FIL again, I'd be ok with that too.

coconutbacon,I'm sorry you have to go thru a family member suffering from Alzheimer's. My grandma had dementia and than Alzheimers by the time she passed. I helped take care of her at one point when her dementia became really bad. Both are a tough and sad disease. It's just so hard to watch. So many hugs for you and your family.

Morning ladies! It was an odd night. C started crying that his throat hurt just before bed last night. He fell asleep before we could even go lay down with him. Slept all night without much of a peep, but when I went to wake him up he had peed overnight. Usually he will wake up when he does that so he must have been in a seriously deep sleep. I think this weekend is going to be sleep training them both to fall asleep on their own and to stay in their bed all night (K ended up in our bed again last night).

I forgot that I have tomorrow scheduled off work. C has kinder assessment tomorrow. H was supposed to go too, but he has training that he can't get out of. Going to drop K off at daycare and then take C out for breakfast before the 10:00 appointment. Trying to figure out what to do after. Either take him back to daycare or try to find something for him and I to do.

Woke up to my dog having another seizure. That's 3 in just over 2 months. FML. We'll have to take him back to the vet and run tests.
My H talked to insurance yesterday, they're sending the adjuster and appraiser out tomorrow to look at the damage, but they assured us we're covered up to $25K and gave the green light to let the restoration company continue demo. So that's good. Hopefully it doesn't take toooo long to get everything fixed up.
How is it only Wednesday?! (And Monday was a holiday). At least I'm going for a massage tomorrow...

avocadotoast, I'm sorry about your dog. My dog has seizures too but luckily, since we've started medicine, he hasn't had any more. Is your pup on any medication? I feel like we talked about this, but I can't remember.

I feel like we talked about this, but I can't remember. Yeah. He started having them just over a year ago and responded to the meds really well, didn't have any seizures for 9 months. But now he's had 3 since June, so I guess something has changed. He probably needs a strong dosage, but I'm not sure how much they can bump them up without it affecting other things. I'll let you know what the vet says.

We are having a stay home day. I feel like all we do is go go go. I'm cleaning a bit and A asked to watch Beauty and the Beast (she loves the singing) so here we are.
In the last week, 3 couples that I thought were all very good and happy together, have broken up. So I've been helping them all pick up the pieces but it's sad. It definitely makes me appreciate my H. Even when he's being a jerkface, he's still MY jerkface, and I wouldn't ever want to be without him.

H and I have admitted that our oldest is a spirited child, so I'm trying to adjust to how I parent him. It continues to be infuriating at every turn. So he was screaming last night, which meant the baby kept getting up. Every single person in the house cried last night. E came down with a very snugly object this morning. A beach ball. It's dirty Wednesday, so margaritas for dinner!
