What the eff wednesday?

[jt2378]

@adulruna, OMG I'm raging for you today! that is awful!!! are you ready to quit yet? This is for you!



WTF H, your a bear and I'm over it! You don't have much of a right to be cranky because I'm the one dealing with DD's wake ups even though you claim you wake up too, whatever!

[alioop1028]

Nooo @adulruna! Dammit! They have no idea what they're missing.

What is up with all the LOs being fussy? E has been pretty fussy as of late too. I don't know if I need to sleep train again or it's her teeth and separation anxiety.

And jt2378, H waking up and not dealing with the baby is NOT the same. I get annoyed when H says that too.

[jt2378]

@adulruna, He is so stinking cute!! Its so nice to see these babies!! I want to post one, maybe I will get brave since you can delete, lol

[jt2378]

@adulruna, I'm in the same boat about the car, if it wasn't for that I might be able to swing staying home also! GGRR

anniebn, seriously, they need to just stop and think about how good they have it with us handling all the wakeups!

[doglover31]

@adulruna, that stinks, so sorry!

Add me to the cranky baby camp. The last couple days have been terrible! Cranky, and throwing tantrums. Geez. I have the Wonder Weeks app and his Leap alarm went off last night to warn that he just started a new leap so maybe that's why?

Also separation anxiety has been crazy! I can't walk out of a room without him freaking out sometimes.

All of this but she seems to save her crankiness for later in the day when i'm downright exhausted, UGH

@giamia923, that face is frigin priceless!! love!!

Still no AF here, one positive to BF mostly all night still, LOL

[jt2378]

[jt2378]

This is me waiting for @adulruna to come back with the update:

[melw629]

[alioop1028]

+ a million! GL @adulruna!

[melw629]

YAY!!! Congrats!

[jt2378]

CONGRATS!!! Woo Hoo!

[spacedcadet]

Hey everyone! I have been super lazy about posting the last few days, so I will just jump back in here.

Congrats @adulruna! I had a gif all lined up for the not getting the job post, but now I have to change it to this:

[spacedcadet]

The app says that DS starts the next leap in 4 days.



DH has been staying home with DS this week. It has been ok so far, but I am waiting for the blow up. He does not like being "stuck" at home all day.

@giamia923 - That face is adorable!

[doglover31]

@adulruna,yay! congrats on the new job!

[doglover31]

@adulruna, spacedcadet,

The leap started for us yesterday....DS was being really difficult! Hopefully tonight he is better. I hate these leaps!

Thank youuuuu!!! I am excited. I start on 8/3. I'm supposed to start on 7/13 but i need to finish out this bank we're decomissioning on 8/1 but yay!!

so what the hell was the deal this morning?? did they tell you someone else got the job to just get you pissed and then surprise you later, lol

[designaddiction]

Congrats @adulruna! So exiting!!

[designaddiction]

WTF boobs - I know this is my bitch every week, but oh well - my supply sucks. I drink water like crazy and I wonder if it is time to give it up.

Plus WTF me for not charging my pump. It is blinking like crazy and fingers crossed I can get through this pump session, cuz that would be shitty for my supply.

Add me to the separation anxiety like woah. DS is fine with DH, but me, can't be away from me, he just sits there and wails and puts his head down, like a folded pretzel position, and this is me not even going anywhere just trying to change out of my work clothes.

I'm cranky today...so I guess WTF my attitude too.

designaddiction, it could be still from your stomach bug and your having trouble getting it back up. Are you eating enough? Sometimes that makes a difference. Did you start working out? Anything new? Supply will naturally start to decrease usually around 9 months because of increase in solids and I know many of the women on the BF board said they had trouble with responding to the pump at 9 months and had to add in pump sessions to make up for the deficit.

[jt2378]

@kait20122014, OMG i hate that!!! suuuuuuper annoying, so sorry!! ugh

[designaddiction]

jt2378 I could probably eat more protein...no working out, I was trying to wait until my supply regulated. No Af yet either, maybe it's coming?!

I started pumping before work and drinking mothers milk tea twice a day so I'm hoping over the next week it will get better?

I pump twice at work, so I guess I took out one session but I wasn't getting anything out of that third session. I pump before bed and before work now and I am lucky to get 10 oz total.

God it could be the dreaded AF making her appearance, hope not! Boo!!

So your averaging about 2.5 oz a pump? ugh so frustrating when it seems like you are doing everything possible. How much does DS take while  your at work? How long are you going in between the 2 pumps?

LO only eats two 5 oz bottles, but sometimes 3, so my freezer stash is almost up.

I pump at about 6:30-7am at home, then 10am, then 3pm, then LO eats at 6:30-7ish and I pump before bed between 10-11pm. I used to pump at lunch during work, and way back I used to get up in the middle of the night, like 2-3 am and pump.

LO, on average, sleeps from 8:30pm-5-6am, and I feed him when he wakes up. So he eats 4 times in a 24 hour period. When I am home all day I let him eat whenever.

Sorry - I am kind of all over the place.

[designaddiction]

And it's probably leftover from being sick, there is a definite correlation in the drop there.

Going the 5 hours in the middle of the day is a long time but like you said you weren't really getting anything with that 3rd pump...Does he eat alot of solids?  It could just be naturally decreasing and maybe you could try less ounces in the bottles but maybe give three bottles instead of two?

ETA: Yes the sickness could definitely be part of it. Having a stomach bug would definitely screw up your calorie and water intake....I hope it improves for you soon!

[designaddiction]

Thanks jt2378, we were doing two meals, and upped it to three. LO always seems hungry so I was worrying that he wasn't getting enough milk...I really want to make it through vaca in July and not have to supplement, just because it sounds easier. I don't know how to do anything with formula :/

[jt2378]

I hear ya designaddiction, we are just starting 3 meals here too and not faithfully everyday. I know, it would be super frustrating and annoying to have to supplement at this point and I also wouldn't have the first clue on what to do with formula.

I'm sure the only reason why I'm not having issues is because my DD refuses to sleep and feeds like a newborn all night long, lol

[designaddiction]

I have not done lactation cookies yet @adulruna but I should, cuz cookies.
