My manager knew a few days after I got my first positive because she knew we were doing IVF. I didn’t tell my team though until I was 24 weeks. I was planning on telling my manager about #2 when I went back to work from Mat leave, since I was going to be returning early, but it didn’t work out. Again, I had not planned on telling my team until everything was confirmed. I don’t know what it was, I just really didn’t feel like telling people I worked with, and since we work at home, no one would know until I told them.
scm1011 DD has slept through the night so I know she can, but it’s been so awful lately. I think last night she was also up 5x. I lose track after a while. And thank you!
icedcoffee thank you and good memory! We did go back, so we also had a 2 week vacation! We had done some testing that showed I was coming very close to the end of the road in fertility so away we went!
KellyEasterbrook thanks! And yes, we did a second round of IVF and it worked! I seemed to have forgotten about being pregnant and having a 7 month old at the same time! 😂 it’s a little different this time around.
We just got back from a 2 week trip in December and I am currently pregnant, so we probably won’t be doing any big trips. We will probably go down to Whitefish, MT a couple times but that’s about it, but I did just get an email about cheap hotels in Canmore, so I am debating that.
Susie that would definitely be frustrating. Sorry 😞
DD has been waking up throughout the night because she loses her soother and cries until you pop it back in. She used to use her thumb, but she no longer does that. I am up 4-5x a night to replace a soother and it’s getting old real fast. I am pregnant and have a touch of insomnia, and it doesn’t help matters when I just fall asleep then have to go stick a soother in. I think I am going to have to break the soother habit, but am dreading it. This just started a week or two ago when she got her first tooth, so maybe it will be short lived, but I am doubting it.
Besides baking some cookies tomorrow, I am all ready for Christmas. I still have some things to wrap for DD and put together H’s stocking, but that’s it!
An easy app that never has any leftovers here is so easy! Just top a slice of cucumber with a dollop of Boursin cheese and then put a piece of bacon on top.
Sorry farfalla2011, I hope you get some sleep soon. The lack of sleep is so tough.
Any tips on how you cut out the night feed? She refuses to go back to sleep unless she is fed, crying until she eats, which wakes up H. When she eats, she goes back down within 5 minutes of being done her bottle. She has slept 9-10hours at night, so I know she can, but this week is 1-2x a night, so I will take any tips you have.
pooh8402 that’s awful! I hope the antibiotics work quickly!
DD isn’t feeling well today. She has diarrhea and hasn’t eaten since 4:30p, and what she did eat then, she continued to spit up all night. When I finally got her to sleep, she kept crying like she was in pain, even though I gave her Tylenol about an hour before. She is also congested, so I cleared her nose after her bath, but it didn’t help much. I am sure part of it is teething and it takes a while for teeth to pop out, but I feel so bad for her.
Sorry kellikans. I hope your day is good, even though it’s here to soon.
H gets back tonight after a 5 day trip with his friends. DD was full sobbing for 45 minutes tonight and I couldn’t figure out the reason, I felt awful. It is such a crappy feeling to not be able to help your baby. H will be taking over for the foreseeable future, as I am now entitled to a break.
DD has hit a stage where she is crying so much and only wants to be held for naps. She usually doesn’t cry, but the last couple days it’s a lot and there isn’t much you can do to get her to stop. I also don’t think she is feeling that good because she is going from pooping every 1-2 days to 2-3x a day, and has a bad first case of diaper rash. Hopefully it’s short lived.
We are living parallel lives (except my DD is pooping like 6 times a day). Her poor butt is so red! She is also fighting every nap. Solidarity!
Liking in commiseration. I hope it’s short lived for you!

DD was supposed to have her 4 month vaccinations on Friday, but we had to reschedule until tomorrow morning. Well, we got so much snow this weekend, we will have to reschedule again because the whole city is basically closed. MH leaves for a golf trip later this week and isn’t back until next Tuesday, so I am going to reschedule them until after he is back. It’s his turn to hold her during needles!
It took 1.5 hours to get her to sleep tonight, so I am hoping she will sleep longer, but I am not counting on it.
scm1011 I hope the day got better and daycare was good!
When DD does tummy time, she will sometimes keep her head up looking around, but for the most part, she will just lay there with her head to the side. She’s 4 months old and is the only baby I know who can’t do that. And I know all babies are different, but when my baby is the only one who can’t, it makes me feel like such a shit mom. How can I get her to try and push herself up?
Guys, my kid is allergic to our formula. I dont know what part yet, but the last three times he's had even a small amount he has vomited. Tonight he threw up his stomach acid because he has so little food in him my poor baby.
That’s so tough! We went through a few formulas before settling on Similac Alimentum, which is an allergy formula, because DD kept getting hives after she’d eat. Have you tried any other formulas?
Patsy Baloney I am sorry you had a tough night (Hugs)
Ever since DD has slept at my parents for the weekend, her sleep isn’t the best. And is almost 4 months, so I am not even trying to fix it because of this dreaded sleep regression. I was so tired yesterday, H got up with her this morning and I slept until 10am!
Had this been someone in his party, I am pretty sure they would be fired. Sadly, looking at comments on the news and on online news articles, and a high number of people don’t think it’s a big deal, so based on that, I am not sure how big of an effect it will have.
