Wackadoodle Wednesday (random)

[rquinlin]

saltyfins Try shifting LO around some. They do that when they're off balance.

My baby is a Stage 5 Clinger.

Today went well.

Kaiser made me wait FOREVER for my apt. R was loud. A fussed. I fed and changed him in the room since it was a full 30 min we waited in there and almost 30 in the waiting room. I didn't ask what the hold up was. Last time I did and it was something personal with my ob who I love so then I felt like an ass.

Anywho I'm cleared for everything. She asked me what we are doing for bc. She tried to talk me into the shot, pill or something down there. I told her we plan to pull out and LAM. She laughed. She said condoms have an 18 percent fail rate and pull out is 25 percent. That's not that big of a difference! She says I may have a tad of the thrush on my boobs but that we caught it early and that I should treat A and I for a full 10 days jic.

Then we headed to hobby lobby where I bought nothing (didn't think that was possible there) and panera. I wore A the whole time. Even ate wearing him. We finished up with target.

Luckily A saved the shenanigans for when we got home. R was asleep so I fed A in the car. He proceeded to poop mid meal and it went all up his back. I had an extra onesie in the car so I changed him and R woke up. Then he spit up everywhere. Impromptu bath time!

I'm so tired now. That was enough for a day. I'm glad we survived our first lunch out. I'm feeling more brave now.

My day has gone like this:

LO takes an hour to eat 2 oz.. Falls asleep at bottle. Put her down and she sleeps for 20-35 min.

Repeat. Over and over. And over. Ugh.

Why won't this kid stay awake to eat until she's full?!

[wifieo]

malvo my LO started to sound raspy and was sleeping more a few weeks ago and it was just a growth spurt for her lasted about 3-4 days and it was the first time she STTN but I still took her temp a lot. I knew something was off but nothing ever progressed from the raspyness

My LO did this for the first month. The pedi said she was eating enough to satisfy herself for the moment but not enough to be full. He recommended that when she falls asleep, wake her up (we use a cold wipe on her foot) and encourage her to keep eating. You still want to look for truly full signs and stop feeding her at that point. After 2 weeks, she got the hang of it.
I know how brutal that is. Good luck!

I was wondering if she might be going through a growth spurt and that's why she's acting "off". Hopefully that's what it is!

Ugh I'm really sorry. I hope it gets better soon.

[chilibeansm0m]

I'm assuming she's on fb but has anyone heard from dragonflydreaming ? I miss her!

[abachesta]

I had my first big going out experience today we went to the zoo. And nursed in public like a pro. Other then the creepy teen boy watching from afar I say it went well, definitely has boosted my confidence of going out in public with H for long periods of time.

Yes she's on Facebook and her and her little girl are doing well.

[mrsanders2013]

When I got home a little while ago all the neighbor kids were playing in our empty driveway and their parents were nowhere to be seen.

[mrsh924]

I would like to add that I just ordered the Kick and Play Piano.

[coleybug13]

Guess who's the idiot who thought having a glass of mountain dew with dinner was a good idea... This guy.

Guess not having any caffeine for the past 11 months made me a caffeine lightweight because now I can't sleep! I feel like I can run a marathon! Or at least just stay awake all night watching shark tank...

One of my pet peeves. Dh actually witnessed a neighbor of ours have a 10 sec freak out moment when they came out of their apt to locate their 3 yo and couldn't find them. The dad started 0screaming and the wife came out and they found him. Wtf with your 3yo watching himself.

I had md the other day for the first time in years. It was amaze balls. Sorry it was a bit much for your first taste of cafffiene!

[chilibeansm0m]

A just projectile puked all over the both of us plus the couch. I just did a load of laubdry for his pooplosion a few hours ago and now I'm doing a pukey load. Yay.

It's really annoying. They already play in our yard and leave their toys in it, I don't need them in our driveway too. This family is ridiculous. Dh can't stand them.

[crystaltrues]

I got back a little while ago from Target. We all went out to dinner and then DH took DS shopping to get my mother's day gift and I went to Target by myself with baby to get my mom's gift. Even though it was a short trip I enjoyed it. And I picked up the piano like the kick and play without the mat. LO liked it in the store here's hoping he enjoys it tomorrow.

[Koda]

I think I'm the only one without the knp piano. There are two different versions on Amazon. The precious planet knp and the regular knp. Is one of them better than the other?

Up after a MOTN feeding. DH, LO, cat, and dog are all sleeping. I want to poke everyone awake except LO.

[rvamama]

Koda -no knp here but I'm thinking we need it! I'll look for just the piano part. We have a play mat F loves- lights up and all (a rainforest one we has with DS) so maybe we can just add the piano.

+1 to piano addition. We have no damn storage in this house and already have a cute play mat for LO. But I don't think we can live without the piano after all the rave reviews!

Almost her 8 week mark? It was after her 6week growth spurt I know that for sure

[saltyfins]

Oh no, we're only at 5w 3d.

I have to go through this again?!

Cue ugly crying... ; )

Bumping an ancient thread to say HI!!!  I have a notification from this and obviously haven't been on until now. I hope you ladies are doing good!  

Also, I AM on FB, and am pretty sure that we're friends there!
