Hey..so taking DD to daycare and having a NB..sucks. I have figured out what makes my RnP feel like lava. He was HUNGRY. which makes me feel like a bad mom..my husband took him last night and suggested a bottle on top of my feeding..and out cold he went for 5 hrs. He slept in his RnP all night. Not a peep till morning when he was hungry again. So its a win that I know what it is..but sad cause I need to get my supply up.
The siblings had a bonding moment this morning. DD loves her brother.

Awww WineNChocolate look at them together!! So sweet!! I'm glad you figured out why DS hated his lava razor bed. Hopefully it'll get better now that the issue has been identified!

I'm watching this miniseries on CNN on demand about the sixties. One can only watch so much daytime tv before you go a little crazy... so docu-series it is! LOL
T is napping in his RNP and I've got a cat napping next to me on the couch. Maybe I'll take a nap too...

Morning, ladies! Not sure what we're up today, probably taking dd to dh's office or menards... we'll see. I'd really like to take some pictures of her today since she's officially 3 weeks old this evening. We've nicknamed her "fussy" so we'll see if I'm actually able to make anything happen today....
Also, first night of good sleep in a couple of days, thank goodness! Of course if dh was working it would still have been too much wake time for me, I'm so grateful he's home and starting to really worry about spending 1.5 months home with her on my own. He goes back to work at the end of the month.

I forced myself to get up at 7 this morning. Tomorrow is my 6 wk appt at 9 am and I just hope I make it on time. FX. I still don't get any real good sleep until 3 am. I'm afraid this may be the case when I return to work. Which would be bad. So bad.
I had to go in to the doctors office today to follow up regarding my mastitis (they had just called in the antibiotics prescription over the weekend without actually seeing me). The doctor did and ultrasound and determined that it had progressed into an abscess (which I suspected), and they pulled in one of the breast specialists from the plastic surgery office next door (part of same medical group) to do a needle aspiration there in the office. [Warning - slightly gross medical TMI ahead: They drew off 18cc of pus!]. It already feels better just not having so much inflammation and pressure, but we'll have to see if it stays drained or refills, which apparently happens in about 20% of cases. I have to go back in tomorrow to follow up. Also hoping the antibiotics really kick in today, as my fever still went up to 102 yesterday after 24 hours on antibiotics and on 600 mg of Advil every 6 hours. DH (slightly jokingly) said he bets I'll be in the 20% as I keep getting the weird medical things with this pregnancy that don't really affect baby at all but tend to put me out of commission for a little while (hyperemesis gravidarum, kidney stone, etc).
OMG sheepish! I cannot even imagine. Fingers crossed you are on the mend.
@winenchocolate So cute! And i get why you're sad, but at least you have a solution now! I'm sure you can get your supply up to meet his needs.
I pumped for the first time today. It was depressing and made my nipples feel weird, but at least I cleared the initial hurdle. Now if baby H gets hungry while I'm gone to dinner tonight, my husband can feed her. Not sure how she'll react to the bottle, but I did have him watch a video on paced feeding. I'm hoping I can feed her right before I leave and she wont even need it while I'm gone.

Ugh sheepish I hope you can catch a break soon. GL at your 6wk appointment littlelion! I hope you make it on time! (I bet you will!!) Winnifred, I'm so glad you had a good night of sleep! I hope miss fussy sleeps more for you guys before YH goes back to work so it's a little less daunting.

I took the girls to see DH's 101 year old aunt last night and she laid the guilt trip on me because we hadn't seen her in a month. I know none of her other nieces and nephews go visit her so I have always tried to get there once a week, but I'm freaking busy with 3 kids lady, give me a break.

We're having a much calmer day around here - I know it's a little early to call the mystery solved, but giving DD a liquid antacid seems to have improved her mood so much that it seems obvious that reflux was her issue.
I'm going to try to run to Carters in a bit to look for baby tights. She has a few cute dresses I want to put her in but it's way too cold to wear any of them with bare legs right now!
Last night was our first night without my mom. We all survived, but dd's witching hour is definitely in the middle of the night, she is super cranky-pants between 11-3. We have to venture out today to find a notary so we can request copies of the birth certificate. I'm supposed to try fenugreek but I can't seem to find pills that are gluten free. I have heard horrible things about the tea so I'm not even going to try that. I'm hoping maybe I can find some at Whole Foods or another health food store.
Also, first night of good sleep in a couple of days, thank goodness! Of course if dh was working it would still have been too much wake time for me, I'm so grateful he's home and starting to really worry about spending 1.5 months home with her on my own.

Yay for good sleep! It's amazing what it can do for your outlook.
