tbh, Id rather be sick all the time than deal with sick children.

my kids being sick is a physical, mental and emotional drain.

Heartbeat was where it needed to be, guess he was just in a weird spot where she couldnt feel him as strongly. Thank goodness.

Man, once there daycare costs go away and they start school, what ends up being the next costly thing with kids?

All the shit they want to do

I dont think anything is quite as expensive, but you may cycle through sports or other activities until they find what they like. We tried soccer, gymnastics, and tennis before our kids settled on golf. Which is expensive with greens fees. I also had to buy my older daughter adult ladies clubs this year. They also took swimming lessons which were pricey, but it was the place that was good.
As for music, rentals can add up, but we ended up buying 2 clarinets, an electric piano and a guitar. Except for the guitar they get used. Then theres lessons.

Were sort of at the anxious for him to start using words stage. He has his 15 month appointment next week and they say he should use 5 different words, which maybe he does? At least different sounds. But hes getting good at communicating things, he does a lot of pointing at something then pointing at himself when he wants something, and he clearly recognizes certain words like upstairs and downstairs

exciting seeing his communication develop

this thing is rad

baby did well in his first night in his bedroom alone, but also Im not sure how well our monitor works for this

i woke up at like 9 and I have no idea how long he was awake in his crib waiting for me. The monitor was on but Im not sure if its loud enough to wake me up

Ive had severe back pain the last two weeks. Can barely walk or stand much. The pain has been generally bad the last few months but it reached a peak I guess. I went to urgent care and was diagnosed with sacrioilitis. Went to my regular pain care doctor last week who said the same thing (before I told him what the urgent care doctor said). Apparently this is common postpartum in women. The joint loosens during pregnancy and doesnt quite snap back. Over time it can get severely inflamed and become debilitating.

I got an injection in the joint yesterday. It was under X-ray and pretty painful. It takes a few days to take effect. I am in so much pain. My husband has taken over everything the last two weeks and is basically constantly guilting me over it. Its making me so depressed. Its not like I have control over this. I will be out next week for a work trip as well. Im hoping Ill be back to normal soon.
