Morning ladies, looks like our chipin page is doing great!

I know! $1041 (£640) so far! I am overwhelmed by the wonderful support for Britt. I am sure they will find 100 good uses for the money.
Has anyone heard any more news from her? I'm still praying for a miracle...

2016, she added me on FB and sent me a message on August 4th thanking me for the kind words. We're doing great! I'm going to copy your siggy and put it in mine if you don't mind?

Suz, Sammuel is so gonna have you running around in circles soon!! Well done him!

2016, I see someone posted an update in third tri thread...do you think we should post in other threads to get the word out? I see from teh chipin page that some people who don't even know Cat are donating...would love to hear your thoughts...I think it is so amazing that everyone is helping out.

Just got back from Jackson's 9 month checkup...he was 21 pounds, 11 ounces 28.75 inches...70th percentile!

Crap... I have mil here for a trial run of watching Daniel.... I'm freaking out. She is like a zombie because she didn't go to bed early enough and I don't think she has the energy to do this. I'm panicking and googling childcare providers.

 

[SBB]

UKers there's a cherrie program on bbc3 that looks good on now...

Great news Marg!

Lisa don't worry I'm sure she'll be fine....

X x x

Thanks Suz- I've stuck it on record x

 

[lisaf]

I'm in tears right now... She just can't do it. She wants to try but she only thinks about the fun things not the hard stuff or how much energy it takes. We didn't plan for childcare...I have no idea how much we can afford...

 

[TySonNMe]

Lisa, dont know how much things are on the West Coast, but I pay $125 a week for Jackson at an in-home daycare from one of my neighbors. She's licensed and everything. He loves it there.

 

[SBB]

Lisa are you still away or at home? X x x

 

[TySonNMe]

Also, check if your employer does Dependent Care Flexpay that way you don't get taxed on the dollars you use for daycare.

 

[lisaf]

I work at a small employer, we don't have flexpay stuff like that.
We talked to MIL and she agreed that she's not really up for it.. so at least we don't have to deal with her hurt feelings or her thinking we don't trust her.

We're home now (that trip home was a nightmare I can't even get into now).

I've heard back from one lady and she charges $200 a week which is less than most places. I just have no time to screen places and check things out, you know?
I also dont' know how we're going to afford this... we didnt plan for it.. we blew a bunch of money in vegas that we shouldn't have if we had known... I was going to join a gym and finally start to lose some weight but I don't see how we can afford that now... I've got a huge pile of debt that we were supposed to pay off but that isn't going to happen now either. Just panicked here and sobbing...

 

[Peach Blossom]

Aw Lisa, I wish I knew how to help hon. Is you staying home an option? Xx

 

[lisaf]

nope, we can't afford it. I also wouldn't last mentally if I was home full time.. I'm not cut out for full-time motherhood.

 

[Peach Blossom]

Could your MIL do a few hours a day and you go back part time?

 

[SBB]

Lisa I don't know what to suggest can the mil at least do part time?

I cannot believe the riots and all the burning buildings. WTF? Unbelievable. C**ts. Makes me so sad that there are people like this in the world, what have we brought our kids in to?!

Casey, I am not talking to you since you didn't let me have my word on words.

X x x

 

[SBB]

Lou how did Ben settle after his long nap today?

X x x

 

[babyloulou]

Sorry Lisa I don't know what to suggest - other than like the others said could your MIL not manage part time?

Suz- awful!!! He took two hours to get to bed and has been awake about every 15 minutes since! We've been up and down the stairs like yo-yos! Ste's in with him now trying to settle him again. I'm dreading tonight- my head hurts and even my limbs ache! I think the 6 months are starting to catch up on me! I've felt down about it today

 

[SBB]

Oh no sorry lou

What about reading the no cry sleep solution? I know you don't have much time, but even if you read it over a month, and then implemented it? If it works in a few months he could be sleeping much better...
I always think sammuel will just sleep through one night, but I need to stop kidding myself! If we don't do something about it he might not sleep through til hes 3 or something! Or ever!

[babyloulou]

How often does Sammuel wake now?
