So G did 2 nights in crib all night again

Just didn't wake! Keep it up kiddo!!

@snowjewelz: It's horrible! I am so sick and so many from my town are going on and on about how they know the shooter, went to school with him....LA LA LA loading yearbook photos, prom photos.... It is just hitting a nerve with me!
It is scary to think he was one of us...... but I feel like some are just going so far from what matters...
Sorry for rant!!!!!! Preggo Hormones I guess

@josina: I get it, I kinda missed her!!!

@FaithFertility: So great that she is doing well in the crib!

@whenoceansrise: The new words are so fun! And yay for a new camera

@MrsF: So awesome to hear!!
I am absolutely LOVING this age!
We have some words/phrases where I have no idea what she is saying... lol that's fun
She points to her rocking horse and says "Horsie ban-ah"
What is "ban-ah".....lol

@MamaG: Ohhh yes, we have that too! If G sees our phones she wants that darn dinosaur song......
So far telling her it went night night like the pickles works

@snowjewelz: Absolutely, whatever works!!!

Ryan had his well visit today....little peanut. 31 inches and 21.4 lbs. basically exactly the size of his big brother at this point. He's on track for words (he has around 20, mostly only known by mom and nanny and is supposed to have 10). Pediatrician was impressed by his physical abilities and "assertiveness". She said maybe he tantrums will start early and be over early. Woooosh he has an attitude. I keep saying I won't ever do well visits combined but I do it every time (ty had his 4 year checkup).

Life is going on, slowly but surely. Some days I'm ok and sometimes I am so pissed off at life and just want to retreat and scream and cry. Other days I just cry quietly when I find a few minutes. I'm working a little and trying to do some things to get life back in order. Also going to therapy once a week. I want time to speed up so the pain doesn't hurt as deeply....other times I want time to stand still so I can remember and feel the pain constantly. Not quite 2 weeks out from Dylans birth and death, but each day seems a touch better than the last, even if in some small way. We haven't made any decisions about whether the door is shut on future children. On the one hand, I can't imagine ever going through pregnancy and the heartache off loss like this again. On the other hand, I can't imagine our journey ending with such heartache. Thanks for listening. I didn't know I had so much I wanted to say.

@winniebee: Sounds like Ryan is doing great - and not stressing about having a little peanut is probably easier the second time around J is only 31 inches as well but we are all quite tall so it's a little strange to me!

I'm glad to hear that each day is seeming a little bit easier for you. I can't even imagine the heartache that you're dealing with. You must have so many conflicting feelings from one moment to the next. Thanks for sharing with us. You know we're all here for you

@winniebee: My heart goes out to you, I truly can't imagine the heartbreak you are feeling. Thank you for sharing, and so glad that we can all be here to listen at the very least.

@FaithFertility: lol. E was back in our bed pretty early last night, like 10:30? Feet in my face all night of course. I was hoping the 3:30 night was the start of a new trend, but no luck.

He isn't screaming at bedtime anymore though and will go on his own again so thats good, although DH still has to lay with him till he falls asleep.

@winniebee: So good to hear from you. I guess Ryan is made to keep you very busy! You are very welcome to talk here, as much as you want, as often as you want K is a little shorty too! But I always want to add an inch to her official height b/c she hates being measured and squirms!

@FaithFertility: Yeah it's sooo hard. I hope he just starts sleeping longer at night in his crib on his own so I don't have to do anything. I know my SIL/BIL just close the door at night so their 22 mo. old HAS to stay in his room, but I'm not strong enough for the cries.
I think DH has come around to enjoying the cuddles too, so thats a +.

@winniebee: I just wish I had the words to say to bring you some comfort.

@snowjewelz: I would have done the same!

@snowjewelz: Sometimes a low fever is good on their own! Helps body!!!!!

@josina: we've stopped bringing dd in bed with us in the mornings. Mainly because she now thinks it's time to get up and she'll crawl out of bed, pull on my hand to get me up and then drag me to the sink to get ready.

There was about a week where she was waking up an hour or so before my alarm and I went with it thinking she's go back to falling asleep in our bed. But once we realized it wasn't a phase we let her cry two morning ms without getting her and she's started sleeping in.

She normally wakes up the same time as my alarm now, or there's even been a few mornings where I've had to wake her up.

@MamaG: M is a big fan of Elmo right now. He knows to turn the TV on and hand DH the Roku remote so he can watch Youtube videos of Elmo. Only certain ones will do too. LOL

@winniebee: Thank you for sharing with us. I can't imagine the range of emotions one goes through. Hope each day keeps getting a little bit better for you.

I know we are either 1.5 yrs old or almost!
