My efforts to reverse DSs reverse cycling are reversing on me. He woke up THREE times last night. Then DH was cough/hawking since 4:30am. I had to wake up at 6 but ofcourse now they are all sleeping soundly.
OH and it's windy and cloudy and rain-snowing today. I want to runaway and hibernate.
Mine did that Thursday night. He came in to my bedroom at 12:30, cuddled and then barfed all over me. the bed and my dry clean only dust ruffle and carpet. I changed the sheets, clean the carpet etc. Get back in bed. at 3am he has juicy farts in my bed and pukes again.... it sucked.
Saturday morning. DS3 came downstairs and said "I don't feel well". I put him in the bathroom for the rest of the day.
I'm tired of my social butterfly DD always needing to have a play date in her free time. If she can't find a friend to play with - and this is harder than it sounds since she goes to private school and therefore has almost no classmates in our neighborhood* - she is grumpy and whiny and juuuuust soooooo borrrrrrred.
I'm trying desperately to remember if I was like this as a kid. I honestly don't recall.
*Food for thought for those on the fence between public and private school.

my son's friends are coming back to public for that reason. All their friends are in the 'hood.

H would put the kids in parochial school for that reason if he could have his way. We don't have a ton of parochial kids, but there are more of them than private.

Everyone seems to be ok today. I slept on the couch last night b/c H just looked sticky when I saw him. I woke up to him in the shower so I went upstairs and am hiding in bed.
I asked him if he felt better after his shower and the Prince of Pessimism said "well, I still feel off". No shit Sherlock, you spent yesterday puking. Then he said "I think B is still off too." NO SHIT! REALLY?
I sometimes thing H is just fucking with me. Someone can't be that dumb, can they?

Big AW - Today at drop-off, the teacher in DD's previous classroom said, "Abby's like a baby genius. I was telling my husband that I hope our child is as smart as Abby."
On Friday, they were playing Simon Says on the world map rug, and the teacher was telling them to go to certain continents. She knew every one right away. Yesterday, she was playing some elaborate game with my FIL and BIL where they were in a car going to the beach, or going to work, and then they were going in a rocket ship to Mars and Saturn. There were booby traps and pyramids at some points, too.
In case anyone needs to build something, I found a bunch of mega blocks in my work bag this morning. I wondered why it was clanking but didn't have time to check it out before I left the house.

Oh man, I find that shit everywhere. When I told DD to clean up her mega blocks I saw that she picked up every single one that I could see around the living room but the bag was still fairly empty. Haven't found any in my bags yet but I found a few in odd places around the house.
Sorry omgzombies, hope she feels better and hope it all comes out of the sheets!
DD refused to nap BOTH days of this weekend. My goodness. I guess the 18-month sleep regression really is a thing. Thankfully her night sleep isn't disturbed minus taking more time than usual to fall asleep (she ends up playing in her crib for a while), but this no-nap business must cease. I told daycare to watch out for her fighting naps but I'm guessing she'll be fine there because peer pressure is real and she'll want to nap like everyone else there.

Drew had a stomach bug that started Saturday. Luckily he was fine by halfway through yesterday. Then at midnight it hit Emma. And both girls have an assembly that I was going to today to honor that both are on the Principal's Wall of Recognition. This is the second time this year Emma has been out sick and the second time she's missing an assembly honoring her; last time it was for perfect attendance in the first trimester. Poor kid can't catch a break! And now Julia has nobody to celebrate with her since H has to work and I have no sitter up here.
I hate potty training with the fire of a thousand suns. Shorti has peed in the potty a grand total of 3 times - and is basically just sorta in this holding pattern where she knows that sitting on the toilet and peeing are related activities - but tends to pee in her diaper and then tell us she needs to potty.
This wouldn't really bother me - it'll click eventually, she's just barely 2 anyway - EXCEPT - she now has become a total fucking diva about having ANYTHING at all in her diaper and hasn't slept through the night in weeks because she wakes up and wants a clean diaper because her current one has about 2.5 drops of pee in it.
If she was waking me up because she wanted to go in the potty I could be ok with it, because she'd be some sort of ptty training genius. But nope, she's just screaming because her ass is mildly damp. And now it's the whole process where we have to go sit on the potty so she can DO NOTHING THERE and THEN put on a clean diaper and go back to sleep.
She used to sleep in 12 hour stretches and wake up with that damn thing like a water balloon and not a care in the world - but suddenly it's all, "ewww, yucky diaper mama!" at least once a night. Sometimes twice. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
I'm having a harder time sleeping soundly anyway because I'm not supposed to sleep on my back (and that's my natural position) and my hips hurt. So now add in at least one full wakeup every night and I'm just tired. And cranky. So cranky. I had to have a conversation with MH about how he'd better fucking train his ass to sleep a little lighter before Sizzli gets here, because if I'm nursing a half asleep baby and he gets woken up by his big sister shrieking about something for the 10 minutes it takes MH to wake up I'm going to start searching Amazon for cattle prods. Though she'll alos be in a real bed by then, so maybe she'll just walk into either our room or Sizzli's room and it'll be fine?
Anyway. I'm tired. It's starting to get to me. I'm getting weepy over random shit and just really irritable. I'd forgotten what this was like since she's been STTN for so long.
I'm five weeks pregnant and started brown spotting this morning. I see the doctor tomorrow afternoon. I'm getting kind of sad, and I'm in meetings all day.
Blech.
Sending you hugs. Brown spotting is fairly common and I believe it doesn't necessarily indicate anything. Fingers crossed that all is well!

Fingers crossed for you. Hopefully they're engaging meetings at least so it keeps you rmind off it?
laurenpetro - I had almost the exact same conversation with my wife yesterday. She's been sick, after her shower I asked if she felt more human, her reply "I'm still sick." Ya don't say!?
Boy E has started to say "Woove you" (Love You) and it is so freakin' adorable!
This weekend Boy B accidentally knocked down a pile of shirts I had just folded. I told him to please help pick them up. Instead he walks over to the pile of folded pants, looks me straight in the eye and without loosing my gaze, flips the pile over. I want to laugh at how someone so little can have so much attitude but at the same time I want to strangle the brat.
I am "working from home" today since the Tiny Tyrant had a fever yesterday. It broke overnight, but rules state that he can't go back until he is fever-free for 24 hours. So I'm working from home with a four-year-old who feels just fine. This is not going to end well for anyone.

Spotting is very normal in the beginning. I know how you feel right now though. Fingers crossed and many hugs!!

My baby moves up to the toddler room at daycare today. On the one had, I'm happy because she's by far the oldest in the baby room and I feel like she's ready to be around some older kids. On the other, she's at least 4 months younger than the youngest in the toddler room and she seems so little in comparison.
ETA: she woke up screaming bloody murder twice last night. Please tell me there isn't also a 12 month sleep regression.
I'm housesitting for my SIL. I woke up at 5AM today to my toddler screaming," HI! HI KITTY! HI!" One of SIL's cats jumped into her PNP and was just snuggled up with her. Cute, but then she didn't want to go back to sleep. Yesterday this happened and she was up at 3AM. Kill me now.

We're the same way since we live in a different town than she goes to school. It suuuuuucks.

I had that with DS1 and this pregnancy and both pregnancies were fine. I hope it turns out to be nothing.
I'm at BBTs ballet right now in the waiting area and there is a bench and like 6 chairs. I'm sitting on the edge of the bench and 4 of 6 chairs are empty. This lady comes in and sits RIGHT next to me. Whyyyyyy?
The kid is so adaptable. We went to Ikea this weekend and she was so excited to go to the play area. The little boy in front of us was throwing a fit and the mother had to force him to go, my kid just ran right in didn't even care to say good bye to us. The only way I could get her to leave was tell her we were getting food. Today I dropped her off at a drop-in center because her daycare provider is on spring break. It didn't even phase her. She ran straight in to the toys.
