Ali - well done on T rolling back to tummy! He is definitely early on that one. I think it's normal for them to stop rolling tummy to back when they are working on the opposite skill. I remember dd1 did that and I was worried she had forgotten how or something. But as soon as she had mastered back to front, she went back to rolling both ways again.
That's amazing he napped so long in his pack n play! These babies are all so different. And yeah, it would be pretty surprising if he slept through the night already, although it does happen! I don't know why everyone keeps asking you that.
Is that daycare cost for one child or two? I am so dreading paying for daycare for two kids when I go back to work. I will be working for very little money, but still just enough that it will still be worth it to work.
Slammer - wow, I hadn't realized you still weren't able to nurse lying down! That is what makes co sleeping so much nicer for me because I literally don't have to get up at all (unless a freak diaper change incident happens). I sleep while feeding and that's how I survive! So I am so happy to hear you can finally lie down and nurse too! That's great that your supply has settled down enough. My let down seems to have settled down as well. V used to choke and sputter during my let down but she doesn't anymore! Small victories.
Good to know about the different types of carriers. Thanks. Sorry your DH didn't have as good of a day yesterday. That's nice you were able to spend some time with Jack this morning while "working." I know just what you mean about not having enough to do so being able to waste a bit of time. I don't even know how I would get anything done working from home if the kids were home! I wish you could have had an extended maternity leave as well. I doubt anyone judges you for being honest about Jack. You can't help it he is such a hard baby!
VRogers- you are right that a new family member sure flips things around! Wow, good for you still managing school with a baby. Does that mean you are taking the course online or by correspondence? That is good you're able to complete it on weekends when your DH is home and you have fewer distractions.
AFM - I have to go to the pharmacy today because I realized this weekend that they had given me the generic brand instead of synthroid a while back! It doesn't sound like a big deal, but there is actually a significant difference in doses between brands for this medication, and I had a note on file to always give me actual synthroid. I am frustrated that they would make this mistake (and extra annoyed that it took me so long to realize). I am wondering if this is part of the reason it is taking me longer to lose my weight. I hope switching back to the actual brand will help me lose weight faster, although I might just be dreaming about that. It might just be that I have a crappy metabolism now from having two kids (and keep eating fast food)!
RE: the babies in size 3 diapers - Wow, Violet only just switched to size 2 diapers a couple weeks ago I think! However, I think I'm going to have to switch Violet to 3-6 month clothes this weekend! It seems like just yesterday that her 0-3 mo clothes still had plenty of room, but the last few days I have noticed she is getting too long for all of them! I am happy at least that she has stayed in this size for so long. My dd1 was in 3-6 mo clothes by 6 weeks because she was so long!
