Because I don't have a FFFC, but feel free to put yours here.
1. I haven't cooked in over a week. 2. My neighbor is going to drop in while we're gone to check on Athena. I'm super paranoid about leaving her alone. I've never left her alone, and she's always been with us or my parents. 3. I have gross reflux right now, & I haven't eaten anything.

I don't currently have a FFFC either but I've got some randoms.
We're still working on decorating the inside of our house. We've done quite a bit but there are still some pictures and artwork to be hung. My DH is NOT the handy type so I always end up being the one with the hammer, level, on the ladder hanging the shit. I hate it. I love the finished product but I hate the work that goes into it. Well, DH wants a lot of it done this weekend. I bitched at him about it because I want my weekends to spend with DD and relax since I work all damn week. Gah. Can't I ever just relax?!?!
I don't care about either team in the Super Bowl. I only watch for the commercials. I'm also excited because we're making buffalo chicken dip for the game. And it will be delicious.
I have a conference call today at 1pm. I hate when people schedule meetings and/or conference calls anywhere near lunchtime. It always ruins my plans.

No confession this morning.
I have training for two hours this morning so I'll be around more in the afternoon.
Where are my Scandal and Grey's watchers at? I'll be vague on my thoughts in case anyone hasn't watched last night's episodes yet.
Grey's: My interest is quickly dwindling, the show just isn't the same without Yang. I think I'm only watching at this point because I've been watching for so long.
Scandal: The beginning and end were a mindfuck. I was on the edge of my seat for the entire episode.

Omg!
Scandal was WAY to much.
Grey's I'm sad to say this season should be the end
ladytiffany24 I hope you get some time to relax this weekend and I hear ya about still needing to hang pictures:( I have a whole room that still needs finishing..ugh sstwinklinglites I have reflux still at times, not as bad as when I was preggos, but it's gross and tastes so bad. I hope it gets better.
1) I'm so excited because our Sleep Number bed arrives tomorrow! I've wanted one that inclines for a while now and breastfeeding will be so much easier. 2) I love the Seattle Seahawks so I'm super excited for the Super Bowl. 3) DD has continued to be gassy and fussy at feedings due to gas bubbles:( Thanks to mominthemaking14, I'm trying the gripe water you gave me:-)

jmebormann Gas bubbles are the WORST! Have you tried gas drops as well? They didn't work that well for my DD but I know they worked wonders for others. Either way, keep the faith because DD had some really bad bouts with it (to the point where it had me crying) but she's grown out of it (knock on wood).

mrscatfarmer13 - We're on the same boat re: Grey's. I used to seriously love it, but without Yang, it's just not doing it for me. Even though last season with her still there, I was already losing interest. But I've seen every single episode and I'm too invested. I don't watch Scandal. I watch it in as much as its background noise between Grey's & HTGAWM, but it hasn't peeked my interest.

jmebormann - Have you tried bicycling LO's legs? You can also rub their stomachs in a clockwise motion and it might help the gas bubbles work down. I'm trying to think of anything else we did.
Forgive me - my memory is shot these days - Are you BF on demand right now or are you using some type of bottle?

ladytiffany24 I've been using gas drops too, but not sure if they're working:( Thank you! I'm keeping the faith!! mom2boxers I'll try those exercises! Thank you--I'm BF on demand and I also pump bottles when she sleeps through feedings. And that commercial is so sad!!!

I'm going to disappear for the rest of the day. I have a million things I want to accomplish before I fly out, & PB is too much of a distraction. Enjoy your Friday ladies!

Good luck, and if I don't talk to you before you leave...safe travels! Enjoy the weather down there!!!

Friday random- Why is DH so emotional with LO? She didn't cooperate with her 4-5AM feeding yesterday or today and he got super frustrated. I ended up getting up because he couldn't handle it; I haven't had a morning "off" in 3 weeks. This morning he kicked a dog toy at me because he was so frustrated, he of course apologized as it wasn't meant to hit me. She got her shots today so naturally she is sore/in pain and he is crazy texting me obscenities. He is really, really good with her; I just don't understand the frustration at the drop of a hat. She's a baby, sometimes you just gotta deal with a baby bad attitude. I'm afraid to ask him because I don't want to set him off. Anyone have any words of wisdom? Do the men grow out of this stage?

hmmmm...nothing bothers my DH ( I wish I was more like him sometimes), so I don't really have any good advice there. But, I know I change emotions at the drop of a hat, I hate that I'm like that. I think I got frustrated in the early months with new baby, but by 5-6 months her schedule was becoming more predictable and things got better. I think new dads (and moms!) have a hard time adjusting and it will get better.

Ugh. I feel you. My DH still gets pretty easily frustrated. If I'm home, he tends to hand her off to me if she gets too fussy. Then almost gets annoyed at me when she immediately stops crying when I take her. What they sometimes don't get is that baby's can sense frustration so it only really makes it worse when they get all flustered. I do think DH has gotten a little better with it. But I think maybe it takes them a little longer to adjust to it than it does us. That mommy instinct or something.

ladytiffany24 same thing, I ask him to watch her so I can clean/cook/take the dog out and then he hands her back when she is fussy. And when she gets fussy he immediately gets frustrated whereas I'm just like whatevs, she'll calm down or I'll eventually just stick a boob in her mouth. That sounds bad, but it always works dangit!
Post by ladytiffany24 on Jan 30, 2015 16:24:31 GMT -5
narbuckle01 Not bad at all! I totally used the shove a boob in the mouth method a lot when she was younger. Now that she's a little older, she's learned to occupy herself a little better. But she still prefers to be held. *sigh*

narbuckle01 - My DH is really very calm and peaceful, it takes a lot to rattle him. I think although I handled all the bumps with DS pretty well, he did too. There have been times I was calling him home to help me 'cause I was freaking out about something. Maybe just gently ask him why he was having such a hard time with her today and if there's any areas he may be willing to accept tips from you?
Post by narbuckle01 on Jan 30, 2015 21:09:34 GMT -5
sstwinklinglites that's a great way to phrase the conversation! I have talked about tricks in other contexts, e.g. getting her to sleep. Totally makes sense here. Thanks! I'll def do that next time!
