I found out something that isn't a big deal at all, but the fact that DH didn't tell me about it at the time, makes it an issue. I see his side, understand it, don't even necessarily fault him for it, but still. It has completely soured my mood. We've flushed it out and talked it through. He understands he should have mentioned it. Still stewing. Blah.
We got to my parents earlier and my dad was all "OMFG AJ IS WHEEZING!!!!!" I didn't think he was, but went ahead and took him to urgent care bc its 5 mins from my parents house...and nope. Not wheezing. Just a cold. Of course AJ fell asleep in the 5 minutes it took us to get back here and now he's fighting a nap something fierce. My dad is trying to work his magic now but so far no dice. GO TO SLEEP BUDDY.

It is March. If the weather report holds, my kids will have the day off tomorrow. Um, can we be DONE with winter already?? Even the girls are over it and would rather go to school at this point.
My younger daughter's rudeness and tantrums have reached a totally unacceptable level. I'm at a loss about what to do...what works (walking away so she can get herself under control) just isn't possible most of the time because of school, activities, etc. that are time-sensitive so we can't be late.
@domerjen - if it's weird to look forward to menopause to avoid cramps, I'll be weird with you. My OB/GYN actually tested me for early menopause once because I wasn't having regular periods, and part of me was very disappointed when the results showed nope, wasn't happening!
I have had the BEST WEEKEND EVER. On Friday, I got to spend the day with my parents shopping, going out to dinner, and going to the symphony for a John Denver retrospective -- and I came home to a clean house because the cleaning lady came while I was gone.
Yesterday, we laid around the house and had a great time hanging out together. In the afternoon, DH took DD to a birthday party and I got three hours at home by myself.
Today, we watched "Peter Pan" and took a nap together. Also, DD pooped in the potty!
I always appreciate how awesome my life is, but weekends like this make me appreciate it all the more.
I think I have mentioned this before but I always feel weird when someone posts something like:
"I want another kid but I worry if kid has x problem" when x is a problem I've experienced. It instantly makes me defensive.
Just wanted to put that out there, lol.
I'll own this. I had a really tough time with the colic and it just got better, like in the last month or so. And we are still in crappy sleep land. I'm really sorry if my posts make you defensive. J is adorbs and I'm sure 2000% worth it. maybe we are just not cut out for 2 and the colic and sleep deprivation are an excuse to make me feel better.
I am FINALLY going to yoga, hooray! I've missed it the last 3 weeks! First week DS wouldn't nap (class is during his nap), 2nd week I had a migraine, and last week I had the stomach flu from hell. I'm so glad to finally be going!
I'm confused...Where does he nap during class? Do they have childcare? Our yoga studio up the street has childcare, I'm considering leaving number two there when she is born.
Oh haha no! The class is from 2-4. So I put him down for a nap at home, and DH watches the monitor while I go to yoga. I get baby-free time and DH doesn't have to do anything, it's a win-win!
oh man based on the other thread I think I have a confession.
If my parents or ILs gave J pop (soda to some of you), I don't think I would totally freak out. I wouldn't be happy about it but if it was only a few times a year I think I would just look the other way. My siblings and I all had occasional pop at a young age and are generally of healthy weight. Certainly pop has no nutritional value at all but it is odd how it is a major lightening rod
My actual confession: I was showing my mom how DD can drink through a regular straw and gave her a sip of my diet coke at lunch a few weeks ago. HORRORS.
This was a one-time thing, I wasn't really thinking about it (but still don't think it will ruin her for life), we don't have soda in our house, blah blah blah.
Here I'll take it a step further and be totally flameful. Whenever I see a post that over analyzes or freaks out about whatever someone's kid is eating, I immediately assume the parents are the ones with food issues. If people hyper analyzed their own diets half as much as their pet's diet and a quarter as much as their kid's, they'd be much better off.
My dad travels with Little Debbie cakes to bribe my toddlers. It's his grandpa thing. They eat well most of the time, a Swiss cake roll every now and then is just fine and my dad gets a huge kick out of it.
I just realized that this is the last Sunday I'll be gbcning while nursing. We are nursing for the last time this Thursday and weaning over the weekend. It's bittersweet but I'm ready.
I don't make it a habit of feeding my kid sugary things but I'll give her bites sometimes. I just don't do it when dh is around because he crazy. You guys remember how he freaked out about yogurt melts.
I've asked my parents to let only me feed her until her 1st bday and then it's all bets are off. I realize (especially since we're moving) it'll be whatever happens at grandma's stays at grandma's. IME the kids I knew that had severe restrictions just totally binged when they went other places. All things in moderation.
This is essentially my philosophy - I'm trying to hold off on giving DS sweets and other junk food for now, but once he starts having them, I'm totally fine with grandparent food bonanzas. I just don't want it to be someone else deciding when my kid will have candy or pop or chips for the first time.
Wait, h accidentally fed DS some of a cookie last week (ds stole it out of his hand!) so I guess we've crossed that bridge already. Lol.
DD's first sip of soda happened accidentally too. I was carrying her and she was twisting weird across my chest. I looked down and she was sipping on the straw to my Diet Coke. I don't even think she was a year old yet.
