@notagodess- How crappy of them! From my opinion with a name that is an uncommon spelling people misspelling and mispronouncing has happened all my life and it doesn't bother me. If you want Sarah use that!
Evaluation on the babes went well. G had a severe tongue tie and O had a lip tie. Dentist had time so we did both revisions today. Pray for me tonight when the local anesthetic wears off and I have two pissed off babies. 🤕😭🤔

DS1 keeps asking for a "Rocky". We have apparently reached the age of asking for toys. To be fair Rocky is one of the less obnoxious paw patrol pups. Lord help us. I'm such a sucker.

Good luck tonight @jacks605 glad you were able to get both revised today. Hopefully it won't be as bad as you're expecting.
notagoddess everything about that angers me. Having 2 kids with "different" names I've learned to not care about others opinions, but it sucks coming from family. I wish it wasn't coming from your family! That's so F-ing annoying and rude!

I'm ordering so much sushi tonight...the issue is picking it up with 2 kids in tow. I wish I had a leash for my toddler...times like this I really could use one.

musicallyinclined it's so sweet when they ask for a specific toy though isn't it! They just seem so grown up having favorites and being able to tell you what they like, hard to say no 😌
LO had been awake for about an hour. He started getting fussy and I was able to rock him to sleep. As soon as he fell asleep he poops!
1) I don't understand how you can poop whilst sleeping.
2) now I have to change his diaper and wake him up. Worst.
We were told not to wake LO up for diaper changes at the newborn stage. That's a good thing since this kid poops nonstop.
I second this. I just think most ppl dream of a baby sleeping 3-4 hour stretches at night when we are asleep too, and can't change their diapers. So it should be ok to wait a bit even if it's during the day. Dd literally poops after every time she eats so I would be waking her up every nap pretty much.

notagoddess sorry about the name. I am a Sarah with an H and I HATE when people misspell it.
Does anyone have experience with their baby not really showing interest in eating all of a sudden? Z is sleeping long stretches during the day, sometimes more than 4 hours, without eating. Our new plan from the LC involves waking her every 2 hours or so to eat. Today I woke her up after four hours and basically had to force her to eat 3oz then we woke her up again after another 3 hours and she barely ate an ounce. It's making me nervous that she's not eating.

I'm back from the pedi and S gained 12 oz in a week!!! I guess all that nonstop feeding and pooping was because of a growth spurt rather than her not getting enough from me. I feel so much better about BFing even though it's still an all-consuming undertaking. I'm so proud of my baby.

How frustrating to have family not accept the name you chose for your own child notagoddess. Seems like they could make a tiny effort to put the h on the end. Not that hard. I hope you either come to like the new spelling or are able to choose the spelling you originally wanted for your baby. It's really up to you and your H. Nobody else carried her and gave birth to her. That's just me being angry on your behalf.

So, I'm timing contractions that are every 3ish minutes when I'm up walking around, but aren't unmanageable from a pain standpoint, and last only about 40 seconds. This is pretty much just like my first labor so far. I was very unsure of when to go in then, and I'm very unsure now. Ugh. I'm currently sitting down to see if they space out when I'm resting. Although I'm kind of terrified they'll stop if I sit too long.
I already told H that I'm binge watching BBC period dramas tonight if these fizzle out. I will be so so upset.

@jacks605 good luck! I hope babies aren't too upset for you tonight!
notagoddess sorry your family gave you a hard time. Fwiw, I think Sara(h) is a name that can be legitimately spelled either way. I don't think either version is wrong or right and I feel like I see it done equally both ways. Is there a reason your family feels so strongly about spelling with no "h"?
notagoddess that is shitty of your family I can't believe they would basically refuse to put in the effort. i hope you come to love the new spelling/can change it back if that is what you prefer.
My grandparents have misspelled new baby's name a few times already. Like, they have done it when it's spelled correctly right there in front of them. Some people are just stuck in their ways

monicageller in Polish Sara is spelled without an h and the h makes written grammar a little awkward. So they just refused to use it :/ I didn't see that coming at all. The hospital hadn't processed the paperwork yet so we were able to change it, but I had gotten used to thinking of her as Sarah.

Shout out to whoever recommended the purple desitin. DS1 managed to get himself a gnarly diaper rash. His first ever. Poor guy. But it seems to be getting better.
Half of my extended family can't even pronounce my name properly because it has a "sh" sound in it and that is not a sound naturally made in Spanish. So they use a "ch" sound instead. Lol it is what it is.
