We made it! We are at the beach!
So we arrived Monday. It was a little crazy getting here but we arrived. The house is so beautiful. I love it. The kitchen is white and the house is an open layout and we are just a walk to the bay or the beach.
Just in the past 2 days Sam has rolled over from her back to front and I swear is eating pizza late at night cause she looks huge. Max has a crew cut for the summer and not because I chose that. Max had his hair cut the other day and my sitter took him and he cried endlessly and so the cut was not so good so I thought the hubby should shave it since ALL boys know how to cut hair.WRONG!! not my hubby so he shaved a test run from front to back-GO FIGURE. I cursed, he yelled, I cursed, he cursed and I cried. I took Max, who was screaming bloody murder to the kid barber for an emergency shave. I had to hold him down in a wrestling move but he actually looks adorable. Yeah he is that kid that screams with snot coming out of his nose and mouth.
Regardless we made it but I did not lock the front door. yes you heard me. It was not locked because my mom had come over and I guess she just closed the door and I never checked it so our alarm went off last night because it just opened with the rains and the wind. I was amazed that the hubby was so sweet and understanding. He is generally very calm with that stuff but come on the front door. he just said that we all make mistakes and it was a crazy day. What a sweetie.
So Sam is not sleeping. I know she is teething really bad and will only sleep after a small dose of tylenol. She also will only sleep in her swing. UGH! She also does not like food at all. Could this all be teeth? I knew over the past 3 weeks that she was getting bad since she was sleeping half the night in her swing and if not, she screamed and screamed bloody murder. Daphne Goldberg, her doctor and I felt that it was more important to have her sleep that to force her to sleep in her crib but do they make swings that can hold a baby past 20 pounds. I know she is in pain and so I just dont have the heart to let her scream. I know she knows how to sleep and I know she is in discomfort. I tried giving her some homeopathy, Chamomilla 30c, and it seemed to work for a little but did not hold. I will probably call the homeopath today. Teething sucks.
But the beach is awesome and as soon as I get the camera charged I will upload some pics. We will be here for 10 weeks and already I feel relaxed.I found a local moms group that is letting me join for the summer. I am so psyched.
Have you ever heard of Amber Teething necklaces? I got one for Ethan and it seemed to help a little. Amber assists with alleviating the resulting teething pain and minimizes the restlessness, irritability, acidity and drooling which coincide with the teething problem. I ordered mine online.
w00t for feeling relaxed and finding a moms group!
eeps on the door but eh at least it was discovered right away.
I so cannot cut my kid’s hair. I always have to take them to the hairdressers!
Bayley would only sleep in her swing for a couple of months. Once asleep, I’d move her to her bed and she’d often wake up crying so back to the swing she went. I think many swings actually hold up to 30 lbs now, but you definitely need to double/triple check that.
As for teething, yes that can cause them to not eat and be cranky, restless, sleepless, etc.
Good luck!!
Oh, we have had a little bald boy a couple of times before. I think it is adorable, even if it was accidental. That is funny!
I don’t think there is any harm in letting Sam sleep in the swing. Rissa did it for a long time, and I just figured that as long as she was sleeping that everything was gonna be alright!
Have fun at the beach, I can’t wait to see pictures!!
Oh the haircut sounds like an experience not to be repeated! We’ve had one haircut with Theo where it took two of us to hold him down. Now he has a cut once every 4 months or so… it gets rather long, but in an afro kind of way… blonde afro. So funny.
Beach sounds great!
sorry bout the haircut experience…but i am sure he is adorable!
and the teeth??? oh i hear you…when will we be done with the teething!! i am not a fan of the moms who are all oh they just popped in and i never knew. no crying. no problem.
boo hiss to you mamas! teething in our house is awful!!
but you are in a beach house for ten weeks and i am jealous. the end!
ps – really sorry bout the teeth and lack of sleep – i get it really. and yes i am still jealous!
Teething can definitely cause all of that!! I actually remember when my wisdom teeth were coming in and it was sooooo painful. Poor little Sam! I hope you are able to find something that works for her.
