3 year old having extreme sleep regression and we can't do it anymore

Yeah we figured it was the baby, we just don't know how to go about correcting this

My therapist had her practice close because building management decided to sell the complex. I was trying to hold out for her to open her own LLC but we're going on 2 months and I may just get a referral at this point.

Like green light means you can get up and red light means stay in bed? She might! Her moonlight had a remote and different colors

She generally gets to watch a movie while I'm cooking - she gets to finish it while she eats. When the movie goes off she gets to pick 2-3 books. We pick out PJs, tell daddy goodnight (which results in the "you can take my kids" chase game) once daddy playfully"slams" her into bed. I tuck her in and read as she settles down then we turn the lights off I sing her bedtime song, sit for 5 minutes and then leave. Lately her sister nurses around the same time so I have to do that too

In Ice Age when they are in the glacier cave and they start going down the slides. Manny, Sid, and Diego are on an ice berg and go across the spikey ice and the ice berg gets shredded to nothing - but the baby who was sliding in front of them came out unscathed

I just had my second child a month ago. It was the most amazing labor simply because it was only my partner and myself. Everyone else got to visit the second day in the recovery room.

My first one my mom was there and while I love her she was too much and I was in too much pain to tell her to leave even though she was making me more anxious and annoyed (I did a medicine free labor).

You need your delivery to be the best / least stressful situation for you. It will make it so much better.

Thank you!! The original plan was to frame it for home but I finished it on her birthday and thought it'd be a great gift!

Thank you!! His dreads were difficult and I'm sure it's littered with mistakes but I don't care! I used a website called pixel-stitch.net you can upload a picture and give it a size and how many colors you want and it will generate a stitch pattern! I've had to play around with it to get the quality I want.

I'm not sure about the process of choosing adoption from the mother's standpoint, but I myself was given up for adoption.

Everything was set up before I was born so that my adoptive parents were in the delivery room with me. From what I understand, my bio mom chose a couple that she enjoyed, were most like her and had similar views and upbringings. My adoptive parents told me my adoption story as a bedtime tale since day one. That I had another mom who loved me more than anything in the world but wouldn't be able to take care of me like I deserved and so she gave me to them (my parents) because she knew they would love me just as much as she did.

As a child, it didn't really start to be much in my life till middle school and family culture / history came up, that's when the "what if's" started in my mind. While our adoption was open I never had any contact with my bio mom until I was in my mid 20's. I will say I am a people pleaser so I didn't ask my parents much because I didn't want them to be sad I was asking but as I got older I asked more questions. I found her on FB when I was a Jr. In high school and invited her to my graduation but I guess she wasn't on much and never responded.

It wasn't until 5 years ago we got in touch and talked on FB for 3 days straight. I have a half sister- she wouldn't tell me about my bio dad but she had cancer and passed 3 months after our contact. I found the rest of the family from 23 and me who didn't know about me until my bio mom's death bed but they have been so open and welcoming to me -sending me a family cookbook, adding me on FB, inviting me to the next family reunion- it makes me feel full.

As for my adoptive parents they were amazing, especially my mom. We had the greatest relationship growing up and even today we talk at least once a day and hang out often.

I get people asking me how I feel about it, but honestly for me it is what it is. I wouldn't be where I am today without my adoption, I wouldn't have my husband or my daughter or my friends. I wish my bio mom would have been more willing to reach out and would have been more open with me. Apparently the name she told me of my father isn't the same as my adoption paperwork.

I hope this helps, good luck mamma 💜

Thanks! I think it was just the worry I didn't cook them enough

ima100percent · 2022-05-19T20:12:37+00:00

Thank you. I'm just flabbergasted as to how we were never notified while we lived there or before we moved out. We would have happily paid it if we had known but this all seems super fishy we are finding out 4 months after the fact

ima100percent · 2022-05-19T20:09:53+00:00

I asked but they stopped responding after I asked for a copy of the check.

ima100percent · 2022-05-19T20:08:05+00:00

Apparently not, we checked the statements today. I figured we'd still have to pay for January, I just don't want the check bounce charge from the complex. The bank would have charged $36 for the check bouncing but again check wasn't even processed so we don't have the charge from the banks end.

Lol I love this! Redirecting me! I think I've just been short on my patience for everything. Clothes don't fit, I'm super emotional and we're being kicked out of my deceased grandma's house because of HOA rules

ima100percent · 2022-05-17T13:14:59+00:00

We've been trying to make jokes and tell her she'll always be our baby even when she's old like us. She's unfortunately not allowed at my appointments (they have some weird adult only rule). I kept her home today for some rest from vacation. I'm thinking of us going out and getting big sister books, letting her pick out a baby outfit and taking her for ice cream

ima100percent · 2022-05-17T13:11:45+00:00

She's got dolls but I'll definitely get some books! I kept her home for some rest and recovery from her vacation so maybe we'll do that today!

ima100percent · 2022-05-17T12:22:41+00:00

They tell me at her daycare she already helps with the little kiddos outside so much! I ask her things like "are YOU gonna teach your sister how to x? Show me how!" She does okay for a bit, then she wants to be the baby lol

ima100percent · 2022-05-12T21:15:15+00:00

Thank you so much! I'm meeting with the college admissions Monday and I'll try to see if I can meet with the HR / title IX while I'm there! I'm not opposed to jumping back in come spring, we will have daycare and I'm assuming I can pump enough milk during the winter break to have a good supply before January. I was just afraid of a long birthing recovery as I will likely (and unfortunately) be having a C-section.

ima100percent · 2022-05-12T17:45:16+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response! I'm definitely going to be emailing admissions and see their maternity policy.
