I'm on diaper change #4 in less than an hour. Kid keeps sharting and then there's more pee too. On the plus side I'm getting great sleepy ffart smiles.
My little guy is 1 month old today! No plans/lazy day today. I'm hoping to go to a mommy and me group and breastfeeding support group tomorrow & I want to bring LO to my office at some point (although I'm not really looking forward to it!) because my coworkers keep asking me to.
Oh good morning. The baby gave one of her best nights sleep almost ever and slept from 8:45-4:30. Of course I woke up at 1am and despite my best efforts could not fall back asleep, at all, ever. I'm so angry at myself today. Im trying to convince myself that my body simply didn't need the sleep so I should be able to carry on as usual. No sympathy needed here obviously, just writing this makes me want to slap myself.
For my random, the baby will belt out these colossal, loud, long burps usually followed immediately by the most feminine little tiny 'ahh'.
It's DHs birthday today, we are so old we forgot how old we both were. DH was happily surprised he's actually turning a year younger than he thought.
I'm hoping the kiddos have a good day today. This weekend they were grumpier than usual and it was exhausting for me. I also have major mom guilt. G is by far the fussier baby so he gets picked up and comforted more than L who is content most of the time. But I can feel her getting a little flat spot! All because she's so good so she gets left in the swing or bouncer more while I tend to her brother. Gah, I don't know how to fix this.
DH is interviewing to keep his job tomorrow as a result of a company merger. I know he'll do great, but send some T&Ps our way. Losing his (significantly higher than my) salary with 2 babies is not an option.
Sorry pbandj714, that sounds stressful good luck to your DH today.
Try not to feel guilty, you are doing a fantastic job, try to think of as some babies just need more attention than others which just means your easier one isn't missing out they're just chilling out.

Between her vacation and ours, today is the first day we've had our nanny for DD in 2.5 weeks. I forgot what it's like to have a little breathing room and only the baby to take care of!
DS has been super fussy the past few days. Some of his screams are so loud! It felt great when he finally passed out last night. I looked at the clock around 8:45 this morning and thought to myself "if today is like yesterday I only have about twelve hours to deal with it. I can do this." I'm wondering if it's silent reflux or something with my milk.
We are going to my sister's tonight for my twin nieces' fifth birthday. I told my sister to be prepared for a screaming baby.

My kids are the same way! I spend much more time with my little boy than my girl.. But she's starting to become the fussy one now at 8 weeks! Just try to remind yourself that this is just a short phase in their lives and over the long run they will both get all the attention they need from you! I'm sure there will be a time in your daughters life when she will be taking most of your attention (like ages 13 and up! )
I'm in the doctors office waiting to get my IUD. I'm really hoping it doesn't hurt or cause any major issues! We are done having kids so this seems like the best path forward for the next few years until we're ready for something more permanent.

Total random. Watching Olympic coverage, bewildered by the commercial that includes the line: "When people ask me what it's like to win an Olympic medal, I tell them, you already know."
Um, no. I do not know what it's like to be among the best at something in the world, in peak physical form. This touchy-feely commercial sentiment is not working for me.

Thanks for the perspective. Some days I feel like no one else knows how it feels, but clearly you get it! I just have to keep taking it one day at a time.

Good luck! I need to order mine. I'm on the mini pill but have already had trouble remembering to take it. Even though the risks worry me, I think the IUD is my best option. DNW an oops right now.

Everything about the Olympics coverage is annoying! The commercials are weird and the announcers are really lame, plus not being able to watch everything on tv (some things are only online)--and I do not remember it being like this in previous years. Although I was always at work for most of the day in previous years so now I have more time to judge I guess.

Tell me how it goes! I have an appointment to get one in October. I've never had an iud before and am a little worried.
My plan this week is to sit and watch the olympics. I wish they only covered one sport per coverage so I could pick and choose what I wanted to watch instead of the constant interruptions.

Well I have to go back again in a month to try again. They placed it but it was too low so had to take it back out. It was uncomfortable, but not horrible. It felt like a really long labor contraction. I took 3 Advil beforehand to help. I also totally forgot to wear a pad, and definitely bled a lot afterwards.
csat when DD started sleeping better I found it so hard to sleep. And I would get so mad at myself and then it would keep me awake more. It was so frustrating! It has gotten better over time and I learned in my mom group that I am not alone in this so that has helped me relax a bit. Hopefully it was just a one time thing and you can rest tonight.
twobananas that is frustrating that you have to go back. How did they know it was too low?? Or did you know?? I'm planning to get an IUD as well but I'm nervous.
So I am not an Olympics fan but DH is so I get sucked in. I mostly cry at the over emotional stories they show. I have found the announcers are super annoying as well! They say the most asinine things.

Wait, you mean we're not all Olympians? Bummer.
Well I had a baby, so I'm polishing my gold as I type this
