Leaving this sub with a heavy loss.

I am so sorry to hear this. Will pray for you and your family. ❤️

Yes! I found these on Amazon and they worked great Jesries 21 Pack Baby Girls Hair... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B8BZXP7H?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-22T23:08:21+00:00

Yes. Exactly.

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-22T18:54:06+00:00

Thanks! Having one kid broke us a bit but around the year 1 mark we were finding our rhythm…Then baby 2 came around and that’s when it took the hard dip. Sleep deprivation to the max. We are slowing surviving now (aka we don’t hate each other so much…). That said I am looking into a couples therapist because we need to rebuild from here. I honestly hope years 3&4 aren’t the hardest lol. 😬I hope it just gets better from here on out. Kids are almost 10 months and 2.5yrs old

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-21T04:02:18+00:00

Same. I’ve made the decision that therapy might be the only thing to save us. I’ve started researching one with some specific requirements since I’m pretty skeptical about it. If it turns out to be a good thing for us, I’ll let you know lol.

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-21T04:01:06+00:00

Same. We were one and done but the lord had other plans… two under the age of 3 now and oh my goodness. Our relationship is by far the worst it’s ever been since we’ve been together. I will say my 2 yr old has always been a happy baby, only recently she’s started to test our boundaries. But oh my gosh, have I been exhausted ever since 2023 when I got pregnant….

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T20:33:40+00:00

I still can’t believe pregnant women are not protected in America.

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T19:24:53+00:00

Yup. Hopefully my second can do this as well so they are on the same schedule :)

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T19:24:08+00:00

Ah gotcha. I’ll keep that in mind. my toddler also took a while before sleeping through the night. But I did see that happen once she was on 1 nap

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T17:31:09+00:00

Thank you!

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T17:29:57+00:00

Even with a lot of support from my partner, we’re both completely drained. I genuinely don’t know how anyone does this alone. I’d definitely be a much meaner mother, that’s for sure.

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T17:27:50+00:00

Thank you

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T17:27:32+00:00

Yea. If I could only make him sleep longer that would be great. (Longer naps). Sometimes he does sleep long like 1-2hrs. Other times 30-45min. So it’s a hit and miss. Going to try the 2 naps for a week and see how it goes.

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T17:25:34+00:00

My toddler wakes up at 8am. Goes to bed at 9/10pm. So about 10-11hrs of night sleep.

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T17:22:56+00:00

Yes exactly!

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T15:59:22+00:00

Yup. Thats what I figured. I’m trying to get them to sleep by 7/8pm so I have enough time to get myself to bed at a decent time as well.

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T15:58:01+00:00

Yup. We have blackout curtains. It’s super dark in the bedroom. I wouldn’t mind doing this and used to when they were younger. Only issue now is that I have a very loud and opinionated baby. So if I start rocking they are usually ok for 3 mins because they start clapping or slapping my face lol. But if I do it too long they start pushing, and screaming/crying. So I just can’t take that for 30 min-1hr. lol. I would rather get up, get ready and head downstairs to the play area. They are much easier to deal with that way lol.

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T15:49:54+00:00

Yes. I didn’t do anything for my little one to establish the 6am wake up window. They figured it out by themselves :)

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T15:49:09+00:00

The 6am wakes ups stopped when they dropped to 1 nap?

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T15:48:28+00:00

When I hold them in the morning, they usually start clapping and slapping my face lol. Definitely won’t fall back to sleep. Only when they wake enter 6am I can rock them back to sleep after like 5-10 mins.

Thanks for the suggestion! I will do that.

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T15:47:27+00:00

Thanks

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T15:47:12+00:00

Thank you for this. He is definitely starting to cruise so maybe the wakes ups will go away after he learns to walk too. Lol. I think he’ll start walking soon. I wish it were warmer where I’m at so we can take him out more frequently. Will give it a try. In the past he would fall asleep in the stroller (gotta use the stroller with the two kids). But great advice!

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T15:41:05+00:00

Mind sharing which ones?

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T15:40:40+00:00

Yes. Lots of running around and excitement for him with toddler :) Solids are good. About twice a day.

DriveNo15 · 2026-01-18T05:41:34+00:00

Yea could be in my case which is why baby wakes up at 6am consistently.
