PDQ - Something is going on at my daycare. I know there's a special investigation going on, and the afternoon teacher mysteriously vanished about 2 weeks ago. They're suddenly implementing all these new rules and when I went to get P, 4 teachers (4!) were in the infant room. For 4 babies. The director was holding my daughter.
I want to know what the special investigation entails, and specifically if my daughter was affected. The one teacher that is gone was with her a few hours a day since she was 3 months old. I am told they can't tell us yet, because reasons.
I trust my daycare and love the rest of the staff. The one woman that's gone gave me the only pause I ever felt about the place, so that's taken care of. I'm just a little uneasy not knowing for sure what happened.
A prospective adoptive mom on my BMB is going through some major stress today. The baby was born today and the mother is having second thoughts. I cannot imagine how emotionally hard it is for everyone involved in that situation.
Ugh. That's so hard. :-( I hope something works out for everyone.
I used to have to rock DD to sleep and lay her down very carefully. The other night she crawled to her room when I went to lay DS down. So I put her in her crib and she fell asleep. I kind of miss rocking her and not sure how she manages to sleep while DS is in the same room chatting to himself.
@starry I get within a pound or two of DH at the end of pregnancy too. He's 5'11 whomp whomp lol.
And have I mentioned that his mostly pudding and yogurt post surgery diet for a week and a half resulted in a FOURTEEN POUND weight loss? I totally rolled my eyes when he insisted on getting weighed at his one week post op appointment and he was down 10 at that point. I mean, wtf is he eating at work normally is my question? Bastard.
I've been hemming and hawing about a Halloween costume for my daughter for weeks (stupid, I know), and my husband has been after me to just order something. Tonight, I found something I love and ordered it. I emailed him, and he called me on his way home to say he doesn't like it.
I I've been annoyed with him about unrelated things, and this is making me irrationally pissy.
We are trying to start an actual bedtime for DD instead of having her with us downstairs until we go to bed. Some nights she goes down easily, some nights she does not. Been trying to put her down for almost 90 mins now. She'll fall asleep at the breast. I put her in rock and play. Leave room. A few mins later she starts crying. Repeat. Repeat again. And so on. Blahhhhhj
Is it an auto rock one? I find Ds2 can be put down in the swing or auto rock RNP not as deeply asleep but wakes up quickly when our down on a non moving surface.
I'm shooting for an 8pm bedtime for him since that's when he seems tired but it normally doesn't happen until 830.

I did not understand @mrswindycity's new avatar until I went back and found the thread about new posters. I was actually trying to discover numbers' true identity (and failed), but at least the no-champagne makes sense to me now. I'm also anti-champagne, for the record lol.
I need to go buy bras but I don't want to buy some now tagg won't fit in a couple months and probably won't fit after I have the baby. Also, how am I losing so much upper body strength?! I do weights, full and upper body 3x a week.
So I teach a prenatal class on second Tuesdays each month, and today was my first since coming back from leave. It's 6:30-7:30, I leave at 5:30, and I rarely get home before 8. E's bedtime is usually 7-7:30.
Apparently E was incredibly fussy for my H this evening. Refused his bottle, cried throughout bath, and only fell asleep in the car when DH took him for a drive. DH was able to transfer him from seat to bed, and he was asleep when I got home. Hadn't eaten since 5 pm, when I nursed him before leaving for class.
He just woke up again 15 minutes ago and I'm nursing him now and he's mostly asleep.
I hate fighting with DH he made the mistake of complaining about how tired he was and asked why I didn't make rice to go with dinner and then I just lost it.
My photographer said she would have sneak peeks up yesterday or today and still nothing. I mean it's only like 48 hours after she took the pictures but I'm so not patient and frankly I'm tired of stalking her page.
Yesterday and today have been 12 hour days with teaching and then evening conferences. I have one parent conference tomorrow morning, then I get until I2 to work in my room, and then I'm off until Monday! Yay!!
I am so sick of writing annotated bibliographies. 3.5 down 1.5 to go. However, the previous 3 all had to be rewritten because the instructor was not clear on what she wanted and none of us completed them correctly. #OverIt
Less than 60 days until I'm done.
I start my internship next week at a large OB unit. I can't wait. This will be exhilarating.

namasteak - we have two RNPs and neither is auto rock. and I saw some of the auto ones at target for half off and I didn't buy one. Sigh... But we are going to try transitioning to the crib this weekend. We moved DS at two months so we are planning the same for DD.

Omfg. Hell no.
Oh and then you know it just spiraled into both of us spewing a months worth of frustration
Surprisingly it's only the 2nd inevitable newborn stage fight we've had!

So I had a 3 oz bottle for DH to give E before bed. E mostly refused it, left 2 oz in the bottle. DH put it back in the fridge.
What can I do with it? It's been 2 hours since the attempted feeding, and it was pumped 3 days ago. E is now down for the night; I'm not expecting him to wake up before 1 am (hopefully later).

We've had a handful of these and they are so ugly. I mean, that exhausted anger fighting is awful.
I know I'm not STTN but he was gone 7am-8pm at work & 3 hours of commuting so even though I logically know he's tired I got into the "but I'm more tired/I have it worse" frame of mind.
It did come out that he is really stressed about the price of oil because his company will do layoffs in 6 months if oil prices don't go up. He's in the top 10% of performers and all the partners know & like him so he doesn't have a lot to worry about but it's still a concern.

I would just use it at the next feeding (either the 1am one if you typically give bottles MOTN or just first thing in the morning or whatever).
Well, I don't typically give him bottles on my days off, and the nanny will be back Friday. I guess I could just give it to him sometime tomorrow and replace that feeding with a pump.
namasteak I guess two things. 1. everyone gets crazy stressed when there is a newborn around and says stupid shit and deserves a degree of amnesty. but 2. you need to tell him not to complain to you about being tired if that's a trigger. I know it is for me.
I did after realizing that was what really set me off.
And @simpledog he apologized too. Both of us were out of line and kind of fed off each other and it escalated FAST
