So this is how my day had gone..,

Been rocking my little guy since 230 this afternoon in his nursery with his tunes cause that's the only thing that's calmed him down. (We have had 1 bottle in between while still rocking). He's finally conked out and I'm scared to put him down cause I'm worried we'll start the process all over again. Anyone else having a fun day?? Lol

I've been in the car all day. We're probably an hour or so from home, but had to stop bc we're just in time to hit rush hour in Nashville, so we figured we may as well stop to eat.

My kid is exhausted from fighting sleep, so when his eyes did close he would wake up pissed. This was whether I was holding him, rocking him, yoga ball bouncing, rock n play... Stinker.

I had one of those days last week!

This exactly

Yep, that's been my day. He's figured out how to not just cry and wail, but screech bloody murder. He was fighting sleep. All.fucking.day. This mommy had a meltdown. When DH got home, I handed him off and went to the gym in town and paid for a one day pass just to de-stress. DH has been very understanding and has taken care of him all evening. LO's finally asleep, and I'm having a chai laced with cinnamon/vanilla rum.

LO is 10 1/2 weeks and a disaster! Sleeping 1-2 hours at night for 3 nights now and fussy all day (previously STTN)! At my parents now so I could shower and rest a little. I'm praying this is the 12 week growth spurt because I can't do this again in a week!

I'm afraid I have to one up you ladies.
A friend of mine asked if I would consider watching her 8 month old full time since I'm not going back to work.
I thought I would be crazy to say yes but the idea of still being able to contribute financially intrigued me. (I've been working since I was 15 so this is new for me with no income)
Today was our trial run.

No. Fucking. Way.

An hour in and I was done. (Plus the father showed up and hour and a half later than he said...giving me a grand total of 4.5 hours of hell)
He wouldn't stop SCREAMING. And no not LO. If I stood up from the floor he would melt down. I couldn't leave from his side. Which uber sucked when LO had a blowout and I couldn't give him a bath.
Deft separation anxiety and I'm not about to deal with that and neglect my LO.
Nope Octopus.

Yep same with my LO. He's finally sleeping now on my legs and I'm so uncomfortable but there's no way I'm moving him and risking waking him up.

@ellaf that sucks! I'll share my drink with you  Maybe you could still childmind a few days a week, just not that child?

jessjhh

@ellaf - did you tell the mom yet? Just curious how that went down. Good for you for putting your LO first!

nbcarlson

Yeah LO has been crazy congested and won't let me suck his snot out with the nose frida. He is finally nursing good for the first time today. Poor little guy.

elllaf

@lereade and @ jessjhh

yes just not that child hahah.
it really wouldn't be bad if he were walking and talking. I can't carry two babies...One being 21lbs!
I did tell her tonight. She totally understood and said she would have done the same.
I feel bad because she is having a hard time finding a good daycare.
They apparently let him CIO and the ratio is like 12:1
Yeah MT is not on the up and up.
