I really need to stay off of the parenting section of a certain website or I'm going to find myself banned. Seriously 'is it okay for a 4month old to cry it out?' ick ick NO! Even if it did work for some asshole in Parents Mag (also ick) at 5 months old. Too bad if you're tired and have a headache, that's parenting, that's life. I mean it's not like the kid can jump up out of the crib and make a sammich or come cuddle with mommy if he's lonely.
Maybe it's my very own lack of sleep that's making me super cranky but I kind of want to punch her. Trenty's been getting up roughly every two hours, and last night was terrible, but again I know what I signed up for. I did however get this piece of information that I was not aware of that's an explanation for increased night wakings at 4 mths Kellymom article on why babies that bf wake up more at 4 months. It makes a lot of sense actually, I think we can add teething in with Trenty though, it seems those bottom teeth have been in pre eruption mode forever. I bought him a tooth scrubby thing today, I am not screwing around with this kid's mouth. Xander's is already worth something like $600 in fillings. That's with insurance. Yeah. And not sugar until after 2 maybe 3 and I mean it! My bad teeth is the only thing X inherited from me.
On a sad note I can't pick up my older child anymore. Well I can but he almost took me down. He's gained 10 lbs and grew 4 inches this year, his legs hang down to my lower calf, and he's solid as a tank. He also asked me to spike his hair so he could look cool, lmao. Unfortunately his school is run by a bunch of uptight buttholes (uptight buttholes that provide a very good education though, which is why he's there) so no spikey hair for school.
Did I mention I'm tired? Yeah.

This is going to be pic heavy.
Trentlebee has reached some milestones this month! He now holds and plays with his toys, and he also rolled for the first time yesterday!
Trenty with his toys (you can see his bright orange fuzzibunz peeking out there, lol)
Chilling on the changing table, that little outfit he has on is sz 12 months *faint*, he's a monster!
Hanging with mom.
So adorable <3.
rare photo of me with the little monster in his carrier. BEST PURCHASE EVAH!
It's been so warm here, but of course this week we're supposed to be back to cool BOOO! It's been nice to go outside, walk to the park and not be cooped up in the damn house.
Trent was moved to his own room on Monday, that's been going so so. i do not miss the crib in my room though, it took up way to much space.
I may have a slight obsession with diaperswappers.com, seriously I just sold off some stuff and bought some more stuff and it's sort of like a sickness. At least I'm not stalking diaper sellers for weeks in search of some overpriced fitted diaper...right? That's something anyway!

Thursday
I should really be utilizing the child's nap to take a shower, or clean something but I'm just not feeling it at the moment. It could be because like clockwork my period showed up, so much for the hope of last month being a fluke. Fuck you Aunt Flo, you were supposed to stop while I'm nursing exclusively. I'm also wondering if it's time to purchase a new Diva Cup, it's been a few years, I'm not sure the actual shelf life on this thing. Oh yeah and my boobs hurt which has made nursing a kid who is maybe teething a blast.
Why is it that the first question people ask me is 'does he sleep through the night?' Sometimes I feel like they're just being mean to me. Of course he doesn't sleep through the night. My first didn't sleep through the night either despite formula feeding and starting solids at 4 mos old, so there. I don't remember people asking me that question at all when X was a baby, perhaps because they were too busy asking me if he was my little brother, or telling me that I was too young to have a baby.
This was a bad morning in general, X spilled an entire glass of milk, and not just spilled but dropped the full cup on the ground. Milk everywhere, including the bottom of my diaper bag. I could seriously just weep for the mess I cleaned up. My kingdom for a kitchen big enough to house a real table and chair set other than this bench thing, which is rickety and the child plays on.
We signed up for baseball yesterday, we'll see how that goes. He'll be the youngest on the team probably and most likely the smallest. He just reaches that age cut off for everything, which sort of sucks for some things. I will say that he's pretty sportsy so I'm sure he'll do fine. Outside the recreation dept. there was a guy handing out football flyers, he told me to make sure I sign up Xander for it in a few years. Yeah if he's 70 lbs by 5th grade I'll shit, lol. Now the baby has an entirely different physic he'll probably look more like a football player.
I guess it's time to get on with it, I have laundry to do floors to mop dishes to do and hopefully throwing in a walk with the baby since it's close to 50 and sunny.

tuesday
Spring break ended as of yesterday and we're back on the school. Of course already the child seems to be coming down with a cold, fucking cess pool of disease. Hurry up summer, hurry the fuck up.
I am so tired today I can't see straight, I'm hoping a shower and a walk (if the rain doesn't start up again, please rain don't start up again) will give me the energy to get done the shit that needs doing today. I need to sell off some of my diapers, I don't need them, they're taking up space and I want to buy fabric. I also need to make dinner early (tae kwon do today which means I need to cook and have stuff ready by 3:30 so I can run to Target before I pick him up), and I need to organize my closet at least the clothes that don't fit etc. I need to ebay the maternity stuff. Really it's like never ending.
My period came back last month, yeah 10 weeks out. I talked to my midwife about Mirena but my insurance company said no. That just infuriates me, they'll pay for pregnancy but not a fabulous way to prevent it? It's not like I don't know how to avoid getting pregnant without one but it would make life a lot easier, and my periods gone or at least lighter.
On the plus news the baby is cute and getting bigger. I love love the baby babble. He sleeps like Xander did which is not as much as I'd like, but some nights are okay, last night was not.
And it's raining again, boooo. This turned into far more of a bitchfest than I meant it too. Perhaps I need a nap since I can't 'take a walk'.
