I was planning on visiting friends from college this week. We were planning on going out and I'd leave J with my mom. Now she's trying to convince me to stay two nights. I'd feel super guilty. Am I crazy for feeling guilty?
I'm listening to my dad do a math workbook with my little cousin. I've already been conned into correcting his work. I am so happy I'm done with 5th grade math lol. Damn 3 digit addition.
I posted a video on my wall of E instead of in a FB group. No biggie in the grand scheme, but more a testament to how this week has gone. The good thing is no meetings today and I'm getting my eyebrows threaded at lunch.
My mom managed to get dd1 a frozen backpack for school this year. She works retail and last week I visited her at work and she showed me the two different frozen backpack they had. For some reason I didn't get one at that time. I asked my mom the other day to pick one up for her before they were gone. Too late, and everyone one of that store in 50 miles was sold out. I didn't want to go on a wild chase for a backpack so my mom stayed three hours after her shift ended because a truck was coming in hoping that there would be one on the truck and there was. Just one came in and she got it. This is just one of the reasons I love my mom.
In case anyone is looking for a frozen backpack as of yesterday kmart was selling them online. I had one in my cart yesterday in case my mom couldn't find one.
I have to get a dress drycleaned (nothing like waiting to the last minute lol), exchange a non-working cable box from our stupid cable company and make it to work out since I haven't been at all this week. The childcare is full at the location with the PiYo class I love so I'm going to do a mat Pilates class at the other location instead. And maybe run. Fx my teething monster baby can make it in childcare for a bit!
I want to do something fun with the kids since it still so nice but I have a feeling it will end up being walking around the outdoor shopping center with the cable box exchange. There is a cool bookstore there, maybe we'll make story time or at least play with the train table. Hopefully I can get my dad to meet up with us later too.
I'm going to see if I can get @starry to a German festival this weekend

my baby was a monster last night. didn't go to bed until 9, up at 1 and at 4. Cried for an hour at 4 before going back to sleep.
AND THEN. AND THEN. the STUPID $#!@ dog jumps off my bed at 6, shakes himself out loudly directly outside of the babies room, runs around to come back and slam open the baby's bedroom door.
So basically DS only slept like 7 hours last night. he's going to be a GRUMP today.
I just ordered a bunch of clothes for my forthcoming niece. It was SO HARD to stick to the practical stuff like footed sleepers b/c girls clothes are so cute!! I don't know how you moms of girls do it. I included a few cute outfits for later ages ~9 months b/c RUFFLES!

My wife put coconut oil on Squeaky's head to try to take off skin from cradle cap...and somehow some of her adorable wispy baby hair came out. I'm so sad about this, but I can't even express it because my wife feels sssooo guilty and she didn't do anything wrong. But damn.
I think we're doing 4 month wakeful...though it's hard to tell because we're also doing Squishy sleeping with one arm out of her swaddle. But I nursed last night at 12:30 (Squishy) , 3:30 (Squishy), 5:00 (Squeaky), and 7:00 (Squishy).

That's a rough night... - don't sweat the hair coming out. I think it's inevitable when dealing w/cradle cap. Tougher hair will take its place
The new antibiotic and steroid are making me feel so much better! I think we'll head to the library to pick up a few books that I had held. When does our book club start? One of the books is the "All Joy and No Fun" for book club. I've never participated before, I'm nervous! Can we all drink wine while discussing?

Awww I heard it is very common for baby's hair to fall out so it probably had nothing to do with the coconut oil. Btw, I love the nicknames Squishy and Squeaky.......sooo cute!
I don't know what has changed (might be that we have been at the cottage as opposed to home) but DDs sleep schedule is messed and I am exhausted. The longest she sleeps straight is 5 hours, usually closer to 4 and only once a night - the rest of the time I get 2-3 hours at a time. Not cool.
She has also started teething. Did anyone else's baby do weird things with their tongues when teething? I feel like she is sticking it out more? I wonder if she is just running it over her bottom gums?

My moms answer for everything is coconut oil. I don't know if I buy it.

I stay away from the stores. That is the only way I can resist!!!

Should I be actively trying to make the cradle cap go away? My sister suggested Selsun Blue but so far, that hasn't done a thing. It seems like it is actually spreading.

I was going to leave it but then my dad said it could start to smell (??). He suggested some OTC shampoo but I wanted to use something more natural. I have heard if Baby Oil, olive oil and coconut oil. We have a massive tub of coconut oil so I used that.

Most of the info I found on CC suggested that it stopped coming back once you got rid of it. That was true for the most part - J's came back a little bit around 3.5 months but it hasn't come back since. ETA: It probably takes a while to slef correct - it's so oily and sticky and doesn't come off easily.
I used palmer's shea oil and a tooth brush to scrubs it off (usually while nursing). Then a bath. Or my finger nail (but I scratched his head a little once, be careful) I also switched to an anti-eczema baby wash to help keep dry skin and CC at bay.
My maxi dress shrunk in the dryer. I was too lazy to iron so I put it in there for 10 min on low heat. I'm not surprised because it's from old navy. Flameful: I'm still wearing it today even though it should be a couple inches longer because I'm 35 weeks pregnant and it's comfortable.
Welp, kid, I guess you better learn how to use a sippy for more than just a few drops of stuff here and there, because daycare is too lazy/stubborn/oldfashioned/IDEFK to do bottles or formula past your first birthday. Also I hope you like WCM.
It's a good thing I love the teachers in toddler I, because the person who runs infant II has reached bitch eating crackers stage.
