I'm leaving LO tonight with my mom and sister. They have to put him to bed and he's in the habit of nursing himself to sleep 75% of the time. He can fall asleep with a bottle, right? I'm just being nervous. We will be an hour away.
If the bottle is warmed maybe? Do you do a bedtime routing? Maybe if everything else is the same he might still go to sleep?
Oh also moonandback I've been meaning to say every time I read 'guess how much I love you' I get all teary eyed when I read the last page. Every. Time. Lol because it's so true
Today's a big day for me! First, I pumped 4.75 oz on my morning pump! I pumped less than that all day yesterday!
Second, I'm getting my hair done today! I had to cancel on my stylist last minute a few weekends back, due to my breastfeeding issues. Can't wait to get my hair did, and to get out of the house!!
Third, I'm going on a date with my husband tonight! My parents are in town visiting and my MIL and FIL are going to come down and hang out with them and watch LO while we go out. I'm going to get a nice steak! Think it's acceptable to shag right there at the table in the restaurant? I'm almost 10 weeks out and we still haven't done it :-( Hoping with my baby being less fussy (getting more food!), that we'll be able to find the time to do it!

Total AW... I GOT MY FIRST BABY LAUGH!!!!!!!! He's been *so* close a few times, but today blowing raspberries on his cheek did the trick. 4-5 times in a row, too! H was there in the room and heard it. I'm so happy!!
Re. AmyG*, that's absolutely ridiculous. That's the final straw. I'm requesting account deletion today. lissydee, were you able to get your account deleted after the 48 hour period?
it is finally deleted it all from the dump. all my content is still on the nest...though my account doesn't exist (can't log in). I keep emailing them daily to delete my content from the nest, but have yet to hear back about it.
I am not sure when I'll give up asking. Anyone can still find my posts from the dump on google cache anyway, so even though a general search won't yield anything, anyone who really knows the ways of the web can still find it. Oh well...
they deleted my content first, but not my account. I got a full deletion once I emailed them relentlessly, and PM'd all the mods (Caitlin, Tara and Admin) as well as posted my request again in that thread.
My content is still on the nest though, so this is only for content on the dump unfortunately.

For sure agree! Have you read 'On the Night You Were Born?' That one gets me on the beginning pages.

No, but just googled it and definitely going to be getting it!

jjh1119 I missed the other post. The bottle will be warm and there is a simple routine of rocking in the dark with the sound machine on. I'm sure it will be okay. Grammy and auntie would be thrilled to hold him all night.
calimomof1 yay!! I haven't had mine done since then either, can't wait. Hope you're not sore tomorrow
wildflower810 Now you have to try to get it on video! We are still waiting to graduate from giggles
Flying with LO in T-8 hours. I told her, no breathing in germy airport air. Just the air in the tiny gap inside her k'tan. Hopefully TSA doesn't make me take her out.
kfo22 I'm not sure what her issue is, she is an odd duck so who knows! I wouldn't be comfortable leaving lo with them regardless bc they are both a little weird and annoying (not bad people just annoying).
zengal we found our nanny on care.com and so far I love her!
kfo22 have a good flight! I hope everything goes well for you guys!
wildflower810 yay for giggles, I can't wait for that to happen!
calimomof1 have fun on your date night! I'm jealous of you getting your hair done, I need to so bad. Are you doing anything different with it?
moonandback I love that book, one of my friends brought it to the hospital after I had lo and I cried then and now cry almost every time I read it to her!
I'm supposed to get my hair done Monday, but it's not looking good with the snow. So wednesday I will be rocking one hell of an ombré. I really *could* just cut and color it myself but seriously that would take way too long.
I wish I could teach H the basics but I don't trust him lol
ETA: I'm a hairstylist and my first day back is Wednesday. Oh well, maybe I'll suggest a salon party to all do our hair. I'm sure I'm not the only one needing it done
I'm still waiting for giggles too- Congratulations wildflower810!
calimomof1 Have so much fun today! I got my hair done last week for the first time since August and I went a totally different color on a whim.
So we just got back from introducing the baby to the daycare lady. I had just been saying how perfect my daughter is, when she started scream-crying like after her shots! She was inconsolable and I was getting really stressed and scared, and daycare lady gave her some gripe water. My baby calmed and went to sleep. I think because she ate so much yesterday she got some tummy pains But I was thrilled that daycare lady knew exactly what to do!
zengal glad it got better with the daycare lady, how heart breaking to have your lo be crying like that! It must be reassuring to know she was able to calm down. I go back to work in march and we are going to do a couple trial run days at daycare this month and I'm super nervous about it. It's an in home daycare that has been highly recommend to me through friends but it will still be hard, as I'm sure it is for everyone!

calimomof1 - LO is 10 weeks old, born Thanksgiving Day. He's been deliberately smiling since 2 weeks old, though, so he's early in that developmental department.
kfo22 - well, maybe it was more of a giggle? I'm calling it a laugh. The first happy noise besides a coo. Safe travels! Keep that baby away from germy people.
I think LO might have an ear ache sometimes while eating he has been playing with his left ear. He's also been fussy the past two days.
I have some ear pressure and throat irritation going on, really hoping I'm wrong about LO. He's asleep currently, but if he's the same when he wakes I'm taking him to my work (urgent care) to have his ear looked at.
To all the ladies their getting hair done - so jealous. I need to figure out what to do with mine. If I cut some length off, at least the post partum hair loss will be less to tangle around.
We managed to get LO to sleep flat last night. I don't know how much was a win or loss. She slept from 10p-5a on MH's side of the bed while he slept in the living room with the dog.
I had her perpendicular to me and a hand resting on her legs as she would rouse herself by kicking or lifting her legs. For her to sleep in the PNP successfully, we'll have to overcome the leg movement. She was in a SwaddleMe up to her arm pits.

Busy day here. Went to a consignment shop and picked up 42 pieces of clothing for Isaac. All for $16. I even got some name brands. Everything was 2 for a $1. So many cute outfits. I also swapped out the bumbo for a play seat that has a tray. Now at my sister's making valentines gifts for the kids in the family and the men lol

Wishing you safe travels and LO gives you an easy day :-)

Whelp. I just asked for deletion on The Dump. I was somehow hanging on to it like you hang on to a friend who has backstabbed you but might apologize... but no more. I logged out on my computer and phone, and cleared my cookies. I'll check from H's computer to make sure they did it.
I checked earlier today. All of my content and my account is now deleted. I'm glad!! Looks like many people are deleted by the looks of the generic love tit avatars.

KMW08. You can tell if it's an ear infection if LO is in pain and cries when laid flat. This is how I always detected them with DD. Also, there will be a slight fever.
So it's almost 10:30 and Norah has been asleep since 8. She ate at 7, stayed up for like 20 fussy minutes, and was supposed to be up around 9 so we could do our bedtime routine and put her down by 10, but she's still sleeping!!! She also took a super long 3-hr nap before her 7pm feeding, too, which is unusual because her naps consistently last 40-50 minutes each, usually. She got shots on Thursday afternoon, so maybe that's the culprit...? Or 10 week growth spurt?? I don't know what to do...I'm so sleepy but she could wake up any minute wanting to eat so I'm afraid to close my eyes...
Edit - she of course woke up right after I wrote this lol

I took a q-tip to M's outer ear folds (NOT his ear canal) after his bath tonight. I got so much yellow gunk that I didn't even realize was there. I haven't really cleaned his ears since birth, so who knows what all that was. It was gross, in a weird, satisfying sort of way!

This happened to us last week. I was using the wash cloth on LO's ears and got a bunch of yellow crumbly stuff.
