Just needed somewhere to vent.
I'm pissed at MH but really can't get mad at him because it was an accident. When doing the dishes tonight he put a coffee mug on the side of the drying towel close to the edge of the counter.
Well something on the towel slid and the mug hit the floor. Handle smashed to pieces and there's a big chip out of the rim.
I'm trying to tell myself it's just a mug but it was my favorite mug and it's irreplaceable. I got it in Aruba on our honeymoon.
So now I'm pissed, even though I'm trying not to be because it was an accident, and I'm tearing up over a coffee mug. Why would you put a ceramic mug to dry where it could fall???

Awe, I'm sorry LadyNymeria. It can be hard to not get upset... especially when it's over something that seems like common sense to us (women in general). Men don't think about stuff like that... annoyingly. I hope he can make it up to you somehow... maybe he'll find you an even better mug. I hope your night gets better ❤️

C was a terror this evening. We were at my parents and she's usually so good there, but tonight she was a typical 2 year old... on steroids. So exhausting and frustrating. Then I was reading 'the very hungry caterpillar' to her at bedtime. When he turned into a big, fat caterpillar she says "like you, mama!" 😑
LadyNymeria I'm sorry, it's rough to lose sentimental things! annapunkalunka I hate when my toddler acts like a terror at my parents house or anyone else's house. Why can't you just be cute like you normally are?!
My normally very easy going baby screamed in my ear for a solid 15 min while I tried every trick in the book to get her to calm down. I think she is overtired/overstimulated. She was awake for almost two hours! She has never been awake that long. We have family visiting and it was loud and bright and lots of people holding her. I was pretty good about making sure she didn't get overstimulated yesterday (they arrived yesterday) but didn't pay as much attention tonight. That was rough, I can't imagine how hard it is for mamas with babies with colic!
Lovetit for consolation danizee.. overstimulated babies are hard!! We've found baths or rocking with a pacifier helps (E doesn't take a paci regularly and I have to hold it in so that was a surprise but it works). The bath seems to reset her a bit. Hopefully you got LO calmed down and to sleep. LadyNymeria, losing sentimental things sucks. Hopefully he makes it up to you. @ everyone, it's going to take a while to feel ok about our PP bodies again. Just remember it took 9 months to get there, it won't be gone in 6 weeks.
Speaking of crying.. my DS head butted me so hard in the cheek/eye on accident today. I normally brush it off when he does stuff like this because he didn't mean to and I don't want him to feel bad. Well I immediately started sobbing. It was ridiculous and I couldn't stop. The look on his face when he saw the tears was heart breaking. He went and got me a tissue which was the cutest but I felt really bad. I had to have DH take him out of the room because I couldn't pull myself together!!

Guys. E STTN again. My shirt is soaking wet and my boobs are rock hard. I don't want to wake him, but I know as soon as I hook up to the pump he'll wake up. Sorry for those of you with sleep issues... C wasn't a sleeper and it's SO hard.
Gah. K went to bed at 9:30p, woke up at 12:30a, went back down at 1:30a, woke up at 3:30a and then basically did not go back to sleep. So now it's 6:30am, and here am I trying to work on 4 hours of sleep. H had the nerve to complain about how tired he was when I woke him up at 6am to get ready for work. Like dude... you do not know what tired is. STFU. At least your tired is your own fault, since you decided to stay up and play video games after I told you to go to bed.
I came back to over 2000 emails in my inbox to sift through. Oh, and corporate cancelled my credit card because for whatever reason one of my expense reports that I put in right before I went on leave didn't go through.
K is just chilling in her swing for now, babbling away at me. So far she seems content to hang there, hopefully she'll continue like that until MIL gets up and takes over.
Anyone else have a baby that doesn't poo four days? DD was nearly every feed but I know it's pretty common for EBF babies. Well, the baby just went nearly four full days and I've never seen anything like it. So massive and then he just kept going while I was changing him. Luckily, it was almost completely contained. I wonder if this is our new normal or some byproduct of the six week growth spurt.

K was an every other day baby until about 6 weeks, when she started pooping at least once a day. Some of her worst ones were pretty insane, though. I learned early on not to try changing her until at least 5 to 10 minutes after the grunting and straining stopped. Too many times I'd think she was done and she'd explosive poop just as I was almost done getting her cleaned up. Save
I'm sorry LadyNymeria Hugs and I hope work goes smoothly today singingsea We went to my parents lastnight for a bonfire. Poor DS tripped and face planted a rock. It was dark and all I could see is his face covered in blood so of course I'm freaking. We get inside and his teeth busted his lip. He didn't need stitches but it's all swollen poor guy. It could have been much worse. Tonight we are meeting up with neighbors for dinner and then taking the kids around the block for trick or treating.

briannea, E did long stretches between poops between 4-7 weeks. She goes about every 1-2 days now and will typically poop 1-2 times the day she does. They are much bigger than I was used to with my son too.

Ugh I've been a sobbing hot mess all afternoon. Everything is setting me off. I took a PPD test and received positive results. I sort of already knew that's what I'm experiencing. I had it with DS1. I just didn't expect it to hit two months out. The lack of sleep is definitely exacerbating everything.
Sorry I'm bringing down the thread on a holiday. H is at work and I don't really have anyone to vent to at the moment.

Hugs to everybody today, looks like lots of people need them!
singingsea sleep deprivation definitely makes struggles even worse - I remember thinking with DD1 that I didn't enjoy much of her first year because I was so crying tired I could barely function. Big hugs and I hope that things start to turn around soon, especially if you're getting some help from your doctor.
C is at daycare for her Halloween party. Went to a play date this morning with just the baby, then had her 1 month check-up. She was 8lbs9oz at birth, and is 9lbs11oz now. DD1 was only 7lbs8oz at birth, and was 9lbs15oz at 1 month. I'm glad to have a baby that is not attached to my boob 24/7 this time (but still gaining appropriately of course)!

Big hugs to you. And please don't feel like you need to apologize - we're here to listen and help each other out. I'm sorry PPD is making another appearance. I'm sure the lack of sleep definitely isn't helping.
Please use us to vent/talk to as much as you need without feeling like you're "bringing down the thread". You're not and we want to help!
This goes for anyone struggling that wants to talk about it. We're here to celebrate the good and help each other through the bad.
I'm back to where I haven't slept in a few days. I go back to work tomorrow. I've been up on the hour with R. I feel like crying.
DD did the same thing last night. She also wouldn't sleep all day today for my mom besides 2 20-minute naps and hasn't slept since I've been home. She has to sleep tonight, right??
