TMI ahead! When I got up at 4 to feed dd I realized I got my period. I never thought I'd say this but I miss cramps. I use to get them the day before as a nice warning so I could be prepared but I haven't had anything since dd was born. Maybe it's related to nursing? I hope they return. These surprises seem like a surefire way to ruin all my underwear.
Ds requested to be naked yesterday evening and again this morning. Interested in potty training or just being a toddler? Either way it will probably prove not fun.
I have a coupon for a free Chick-fil-A sandwich. I think I'll use it today. It will make me feel better about both of these situations.

Also my bff, the one who stayed up all night when dd had a cold at two weeks so I could sleep, is leaving for Oxford today. She's spent most of the last ten years abroad in places with no/limited internet or ridiculous time differences so I guess this year won't be as bad but I'm still super sad. I've liked having her in country for the last year!

Lakes, I never thought of having no cramps as a bad thing but I can totally see that being extremely annoying, sorry friend. R has been waking up every hour all night long for probably about a week now and I'm so tired, she was up all night last night and now is up for the day at 4:45am. I can't see that anything is wrong with her like teeth. Is she too little to cry it out? Has anyone let them cry it out with an older kiddo in the next room? We always go get her because I don't want her to wake up her sister but maybe I've created a monster.

Lakes that's not cool no cramps no heads up. I'm on bcp my first month I got bad cramps Saturday but no period and I am almost done with the pack. It's so odd.

E slept well again last night hopefully it's the new normal now. My shopping went well yesterday I only needed to size up one size for jeans! I also got E adorable pink ballet flats that fit her from old navy. Perfect too for her ballet themed bday party next month.

neekoneeko, kiddo is not to little for CIO. I think most peds suggest sleep training around 6 months. So, you're good to go if CIO is right for you guys. DD1 had an overnight accident last night. We usually wake her at 11 pee. But I feel asleep and my H was doing who-knows-what. at 11:30 she was hysterically crying for us, so upset that she'd peed. Poor thing. Then, of course the babe woke up hungry at 3. Joy of joys.

peaseblossom55, Good news about the jeans!! judyblume14, sorry about the middle of the night accident, I would have a hard time remembering to get up to ask someone too pee, so totally understandable.

neekoneeko we've had to let M cry it out a few times and it's worked well to reset after a period of bad sleep. DS's room is directly across the hall and their closets share a wall and he's slept right through it. They both have sound machines that are always at max volume so I'm sure the jet engine noise has helped with that. Good luck! Love the ballet theme peaseblossom55!

Still no power in the carrots house. Still camped out at my parents house (luckily with my milk stash now). M was up from 1-3:30 for seemingly no reason last night. Both kids cried at daycare dropoff. Work is bonkers. And I'm already looking forward to a glass (or many) of wine tonight!

As a dancer I couldn't not do a ballet theme!

Such a cute theme peaseblossom55!! I'm sorry about still missing power carrots. Ugh, what a drag that must be. Glad to hear that the milk stash is safe though! It does sound like you need CFA today Lakes. It's one of those days lol. Coffee for you judyblume14. I'm sorry about the pee. I've been there recently with our big. No fun. neekoneeko, we occasionally let B CIO a bit and he and DD share a room. She just rolls over and goes back to sleep. Do yo have a white noise machine? We love our dohm sound machines. I think both kids disturb each other far less when we have it on in their room.

Life has been busy and my laundry pile got a little carried away.... I'm switching loads in between work calls today since I'm working from home. I'm on load #3. I also should clean my house at some point and go grocery shopping. Le sigh.
I can finally see Bs first teeth starting to peak through his gums. Looking forward to him cutting those soon. *sarcasm font*
