Weekend highs

Weekend lows

mammersoh · January 2015

Highs-- celebrating M's birthday. More gifts of course, I feel like it's Christmas all over again.

Lows- I was asleep by 8 on Friday and 1030 on Saturday even though everyone was visiting at my moms on Saturday and was playing cards. My body has just been exhausted this week.

High - I finally got to see one of my favorite bands from middle school/high school live!

Low - I put laundry off until Sunday evening and had to stay up pretty late to finish it. That was dumb.

Highs: H had off all weekend which never really happens, so it was nice to have some QT. Also, I went to Kohl's and got a bunch if stuff and only had to spend $8 after Kohl's cash and coupons. MIL wanted us to come visit on Sunday, but then ended up cancelling. H didn't want to go anyway so he was going to make up and excuse for why we couldn't go, needless to say he was happy. We are terrible people

Lows: there really weren't any!

Highs - getting 4 trash bags of spring/summer clothes for E for $155. I counted almost 300 pieces, so less than .50 each! I counted 26 leggings, 26!!!!! Girl had a shopping problem, and is now having a boy (from what I found on her FB). I have 3 loads of laundry she can wear now, or soon, and 2 more trash bags for summer. Also, we tried apples with E... she's not a fan and will shake her whole body after she tastes it. Sweet potatoes are still her favorite. She has butternut squash waiting for this week

Lows - Jeff and I seem off. I just can't win. If I get overwhelmed and don't ask for help, he gets mad. If I ask for help, he brings it up all the time. I know he's joking, but dude, just stop. Yes, I slept in yesterday because I was sick. I don't need to pat you on the back every 5 mins because you had her for an hour. Now he's saying how I can't take a joke anymore. I'm sorry, jokes about me being tired/sick/etc aren't funny right now. And don't get me started on ST. I've had the flu, sleep regression and now a cold... sorry I'm not up for it right now. THEN he said he likes laying over (sleeping in the truck overnight) because it gives him a break. When is my f'ing break dude?! /rant He's trying to make up the last part with a spa day. I just want a nap 1 time during the weekend. that's all. And not at 4pm after his nap.

Other lows include - cranky fever baby after shots, and I really don't like the other pedi at the practice. She told me I'm putting E at risk for SIDS by letting her sleep in her own room before 6 mons which really upset me (and I can't find that anywhere). There were other things, but that was the biggest. I'm rescheduling my appts, taking off work to see Dr Murphy.

@mana8503 from what i've read the percetage of having a child die of SIDS is dramatically reduced after 4 months, so you're right there. she's in her crib, not in bed with you, or on a soft mattress...and I assume on her back unless she's rolling over.

the only reason they say its good to have baby sleep in room with you is because apparently when the baby can hear you breathe they can regulate their breathing off of you..

I wouldn't worry too much about it at this point. she's fine and those requirements change every 5 minutes...

I read the same thing, I thought I was over the hump of SIDS anxiety. E doesn't roll, she refuses lol. She's on her back, in a sleep sack, nothing else in the crib. I guess the breathing thing is why she asked if I can hear her and her hear me. I tried to move her back into our room when she had the flu so I could monitor her breathing, but she wouldn't stay asleep. I finally laid her in her crib and she was out...

@mana8503‌ Sorry about all your lows. I thought it was best for baby to be in their own crib too.

Highs....M's birthday party. She had a great time!!

Lows...DH found out that his parents and brother were going out to dinner on Sunday night. They didn't ask us b/c they "knew we wouldn't go". Can you leave that up to us please??

What a bitch! Like new moms dont have enough pressure as it is. I dont blame you for changing your schedule. Thats rediculous. Chase and I shared a room when he was little (we lived at my moms) so I dont know when the proper time is to move your baby into their own room, but I think 6 months is a bit long to stay in the parents room. Especially if you have a video monitor like you and most parents do now.

mana8503 · January 2015

@mrsskiz - exactly. I'm second, third, million guessing myself as a mom, I need some encouragement, not saying my kid is going to die from my actions. E just stopped sleeping when she was in our room around 3 months. I moved her into the crib with the vid monitor, and she went back to sleeping like a champ. Seemed like 3-4 months is when a lot of my friends moved their kids over.

@mana8503 - You're a great mom! We moved T$ into his own crib at 6 weeks. He's never slept well with us in the room. He still doesn't. When we go to my parents', we all share a room and all of us sleep like crap. On the same thought, my oldest nephew slept with my sister until he was 10. I think it just depends on the kid.

Also, someone told me once that if you're questioning whether you're a good mom or not, you already are because if you were a bad mom, you wouldn't care. I remind myself of that a lot when I second guess whether a decision was right or not.

I need this on my mirror or somewhere I see everyday!

My dad mentioned he's never seen me so upset over anything in my whole life. I usually decide I'm doing something and I do it. (Jeff doesn't and it drives me crazy). I told him, I just want to do what's best for E. Sometimes I hate google, there's too much information and opinions on raising kids. And you're right, each one is different. I need to do what's best for E. Need that below the other statement in the mirror lol.
