Bring a baby monitor on vaca? Yes right?

Yes. Doesn't take much room and I almost always wish I had one.

HOLY SHITBALLS, MY BOY IS A SCOOTER!! I've been waiting to say both shitballs and scooter for a while now.

R has been having some "independent play" (by which I mean he hangs on the playmat, mommy bumps and drinks a cup of tea) and he was on his back leaning against the boppy. Then he rolled over, facing south looking at his blankie thing. I looked away for a minute, and look back, and he's moved to the other side of the mat, now facing north, with his wubbanub in his mouth! It was 2-3 feet away from him. He SCOOTED over to get it! Mommy is so proud.

And yes, I realize I'm a loser for writing this out step by step. But A) I am excited and

TB is the closest thing we have to a baby book to record big moments.

And Now he's turned facing south again, eating his feet and farting.

Mommy is still proud

Dd is sick. It's "just" a cold but she's got a croupy cough that's freaking me the fuck out and I'm probably going to listen to her chest with DH's stethoscope about three times an hour tonight.

I had to go to the bathroom so I put her in her crib while she screamed. DS ran over and made one of his stuffed animals dance for her. I heard her stop crying and came out to find her asleep. When I told DS he did a good job and was a good big brother, he started to cry.

He thinks he made her sick because he touched her hand (apparently they learned about germs at daycare?). Poor boy is filled with guilt.

Sick sleeping naked baby.

@RondackHiker‌ I wanted to love it but didn't want there to be confusion- love big brother helping and the pic. Do NOT love the sick baby or upset toddler! Hope they both recover soon!

Codypup · June 2014

@rondackhiker, that's sad but also adorable that he cares so much about his little sister. Hugs to him and I hope your DD feels better soon. "Just a cold" 's are scary as hell!

emar129 · June 2014

@Bookshelves‌ sorry you missed it

@RondackHiker‌ I hope your LO gets well soon!! Poor thing

Madelyn0713 · June 2014

We drove though snow today on our way home. SNOW! And we closed on our house!! Yay!

courtls22 · June 2014

@RondackHiker What a sweet little boy you have! Your post made me tear up. I'm sorry DD is sick, I hope she gets feeling back to herself ASAP.

breadpudding · June 2014

@RondackHiker‌ Aww!! Poor baby. It sucks when they are sick. Even if it is "just a cold".

Hope she feels better very soon, and that you can relax when she starts getting better. She is so lucky to have such a caring big brother! Melts my heart that he is so concerned for her.

Big pile of mush here.

Geez, forgot to share my epic sucky randomness. I was invited to a prestigious academic cancer center to be part of a career panel/networking event for women with PhDs. I love these and do 2-3 per year. Well, the thing was last night and in the city. And I was coming all the way from freaking west Jersey, almost PA, and got stuck in traffic, and thus overpumped one of my bottles while driving to the train and soaked my right leg with breastmilk. So a train and a taxi later, I arrive at the place and head to the ladies room to clean up with baby wipes. Klassy. And then? Then, I use the restroom and my freaking PPAF has started. No protection, of course, because first PPAF, so I make do with more baby wipes. Really, body? Really? So here I am supposed to address these women about how it's done, because apparently I'm AWESOME and have this high-octane job and all these kids and am so good at lyfe, and I'm covered in blood and breastmilk and smell like baby wipes. Winning. X_X

I love you.

I'm sorry your day sucked, but I love this story (because it's me, minus the kick ass career part).

@RondackHiker‌ sorry about sick baby

emar129 · June 2014

The babies are back. Apparently my yard makes a good daycare.

You should get some cheap webcams and set them up on the hiding spots she picks. Then we can all watch.

Sorry @JoyBaby5‌

Lhageme85 · June 2014

(Hugs) @bepandnick‌ We had this last week and being upright really helped. You could prop the mattress up with a folded blanket under the mattress. Also saline drops and suck out his nose before eating may help with that part. Hang in there mama and call the ped back if you aren't comfortable waiting till morning!

AW moment: So I spend like almost every waking moment with LO, and she just rolled over for the first time... for DH, while I was in the shower.

This is EXACTLY what happened to me!! If it happens again when R crawls, I'm disowning him

rachaelmary · June 2014

just caught up...hugs to everyone that needs it!!

Having a rough night... DH and i got into a big arguement. He's upset that I'm too overprotective, and don't let him help with big decisions. Which I didn't even realize I was excluding him from. With this arguement it snowballed into other things, and now he's sleeping downstairs. I went down and we talked it out, but he doesn't want to come back up.

He brought up me going back to work again. Which as much as I don't want to, I'm starting to think it will be held over my head forever if I don't try it. So I might be calling my boss tomorrow to tell her my return date. I'm sick to my stomach over it. Pretty sure I won't be sleeping tonight, which sucks bc T is out like a light right now.

Here's what you do... You go back to work and give him lots of responsibility.... Then he might decide you shouldn't be working. If it's his idea, he will be okay with it.

So it's possible that my boyfriend is going to be transferred for Florida for a few months. And although I've been told I'm getting my new job, starting Aug 5, I haven't officially been sent the offer yet. It's so frustrating because I don't know what we're going to be doing!!

The original plan was my bf was taking parental leave and we were spending the winter in Mexico. Then this job for me came up, and then his boss asked him in we want to go to Florida. I wish we could just figure it out!! I hate living in limbo. #FWP

rachaelmary · June 2014

((hugs)) bluedot!!

@missdemeanor i'm sorry you're stuck in limbo!! that's so frustrating. hopefully it gets sorted soon so you guys can decide a plan.

iwubrory · June 2014

Hugs Bluedot, I'm sorry. What did he say about you being overprotective? Maybe we can help. Not saying you're like this but when we first had ds I was with him all of the time so I thought my way was the best way and left dh out of things. We did a lot of talking about it and overprotective is one of the ways dh described me. I had to actively remind myself that it was OK if things were done differently. I have more but I may be way off track with this. Anyway, my point is let F14 try to help.
