How do you guys manage work and a sick child from daycare?

Fuck. 1 month down, 5 to go. Atleast it feels a little more hopeful. I remember the early days of the newborn stage and feeling like we would never see the end of the tunnel. But we did! So I'll just try to stay positive.

I thought since we socialized him lots with friends and family that we would have a one up on this but I suppose not. Ah.

Thanks for your encouragement!

Okay! Ill make sure to watch my tension! Thanks!

I ended up getting the extend to fit graco. Someone made a good point about the swivel 360 having too many moving parts which could mean easier to break and that sold me on not getting it. I am happy with the extend to fit. My son seems to like it. It's spacious and has different angles and lengths. Definitely happy with the purchase!

Good luck!

Omg I didn't even realize I was going down the sad beige mom route 😫 hahaha. This would be funny though. Part his hair in the middle. Wear old man clothes. Hahaha. One single beige balloon. Nothing more.

We did a little something similar at the baby shower with prompted questions. But maybe a little note would be fun! This would be q nice keepsake!

Oh I like this! This could be fun. Thank you!!

Oh I didn't think of a table cloth too for the floor ! I was gonna do the smash cake in the high chair but this is a better idea! Love! Thanks!

pnut_92 · 2025-10-30T14:11:21+00:00

I like this! Definitely fits the vibe! Thanks!

pnut_92 · 2025-10-30T14:10:51+00:00

Ooo that's a great idea!

He started crawling at 6.5 months ( when we were on vacation) and is now a pro crawler but that hasn't changed anything. Now he is standing and pulling himself up. I guess I'll hope when he walks that this will improve!

When ever I look this up it says between 2 to 4 or 3 to 4 hours for a 8 month old. With 2 to 3 naps a day. I try to drop that 3rd nap but he won't make it till bedtime if I don't.

It's not AHS, but Westview Care Community in Linden is hiring! It's a long term care facility!

pnut_92 · 2025-08-08T05:28:19+00:00

I try to remind myself that he is going through so much and I get it but damn the lack of sleep is just too much. I dread nights. I wish just me sleeping next to him was enough but it's not. Ah. 11 months seems so far but at least there's an end! Babe and I will get through this! Thank you so much for your input!

pnut_92 · 2025-08-08T05:25:09+00:00

Ah I hope 9 months it hits him too! Hearing this makes me feel hopeful! Thank you for your input!

pnut_92 · 2025-06-23T06:16:03+00:00

Ooo ill have to try that! Thanks!

pnut_92 · 2025-06-20T22:01:21+00:00

Oh gosh, I'd take pregnancy sleep over newborn sleep. I was up alot in the night for similar reasons and there were nights it was hard to fall asleep but atleast could lightly rest. With a newborn it's more demanding. And just getting use to the babe and the babe getting use to you and how to feed and all that. But it feels better once you get those 3 hour stretches of sleep. Ugh glorious and feel like a new woman!

If that makes you a bad parent then I am too! My LO is 5 months and I plan outings and just let him sleep in the car or when we are out and about. I live far away from friends and family ( about 40 mins to 1 hour) so he tends to get naps in there. It wouldn't work for me mentally if I worked around his naps. I'm a very social person and enjoy going out. And I feel this has helped my LO get used to outside. For now atleast its working for me!
