I think I am stressing myself out unnecessarily. WDYT? I was gonna keep Ethan in his mini-crib until his bedtime moved back more in line with Ben's so that they could then share a room. Ben's room is a lot bigger and then we can do family storytime before bed. But now I feel guilty that Ethan's room is so boring and small. I am thinking about setting up his Montessori bed instead. This is probably a dumb idea because he sleeps so great in his crib. I just feel bad. Talk me down.
When do you think is a good age to put them in the same room? When will his bed time move back? Right now he's done by 7, 7:30 at the latest whereas we start the bedtime process for Ben at 8 but it's closer to 9 when he finally goes to sleep.
Ugh, DD's daycare doesn't have any openings for an infant until August, and we need a spot in April. Is everyone calling the instant they get a positive test? We reserved a spot for DD only four months in advance, so I wasn't at all worried about getting a spot for the new baby, especially since we get sibling priority. Not sure what we're going to do now.
Also DD's favorite teacher is leaving. Boo.
When I was calling daycares, one place was literally booked through such that you need to be not pregnant yet to get on their list.
Yeah, I only have two months leave, so even if I got pregnant today I'd need a spot in July.
I got 9 hours of solid sleep last night, so today is the first day in forever that I don't feel like I need nap during DD's naptime. Therefore, I must.be.productive! Homemade granola bars, pizza dough and cleaning up the basement are all on the to-do list.
I spent half the morning on the phone trying to make a dr appt for my kid, and got nowhere. I hate the military healthcare bs here- they only have one pediatrician and getting an appt is nearly impossible. Plus the pedi sucks. And they wouldn't schedule with someone else (even though I know they have family doctors he could see). I just need him to be seen so we can get a referral elsewhere to take care of the issue.

Can you switch to standard? I am on the edge to switching the kids, I had to make a well baby appointment and the next available was 6 weeks out. So so annoying.

I'm considering it. Although from what I've heard, there aren't nearly enough medical providers off base either to handle the military population. The friends I have on standard drive 1-2 hrs away for their pediatrician. That seems like a PITA too.

Ugh that is awful. I'm sorry! Have you tried switching pcm's to a family practice doc?
I know in our clinic they are short like 4-5 doctors due to pcs and contracts ending. So hopefully it will improve.
Maybe a day or two ago, SIL let us know that nephew's birthday party is on Sunday at 10am. Ugh. That is prime Hobbes AM nap time, and she's such a social baby that there is no chance in hell that she will nap at a party with other kids around. She desperately needs her weekend sleep because she falls behind on napping all week at daycare. I feel like an ass, but I think I'm going to send Calvin and stay home with Hobbes for her nap. I just can't deal with the fallout.
Last night MIL watched Hobbes while we went out. Hobbes had a total meltdown when MIL arrived. I put her to bed before we left, and she slept the whole time MIL was there. I am hoping at least that helps explain why I'm on nap patrol.

My plan for nap time is to try to get his PCM switched. I just talked to a friend who had a rec for the dr they are seeing and really like. I will get it figured out- but I'll be irritated along the way.

We moved our team's offices from one building to the other this morning. I'm glad it's finally done, but I get to unpack and load all the file cabinets.
I d t hVe to go in until mid afternoon because I volunteered to work the Tern End of Summer Party. This was either a great decision or a terrible one. Ask me at 9pm.
We had our appointment and it went well! Saw the tiny fetus and yolk sac. There was a heartbeat. It was slow, but the doc said that was probably just because it was so early. Two more weeks til we check again.
This is so hard you guys. We saw a heartbeat last time and it still didn't work out. The nurse was like, aren't you excited?! and I just had no answer for her.
