Win: I got a few nice stretched of sleep last night. Also, DS is quietly watching Barney while I eat and baby naps making this whole 2 kids thing seem kind of easy.
Whine: I'm doing all of the laundry from DS's puke fest last night. It smells like hot garbage mixed with poop. DH and I spent an hour getting him cleaned up at 2am while I was trying to nurse baby making this whole 2 kids thing seem kind of really hard.
Win: We tried the co-sleeper for the first time last night and it was so nice not to have to get out of bed to comfort LO, I feel way more rested today.
Whine: DH is an only child, so LO is MIL's first and only grandchild. I'm trying to be patient and flexible, but I'm getting pretty tired of her needing to come here every day. While we get along and have never had any issues, she's so high-strung and type-A - the opposite of me. Every time she comes she comments on LO looking chilly or too warm, says having the TV on while she naps will interrupt her sleep cycles, etc. DH tells me to ignore her, so I do, but her constant comments put us both in bad moods.
Win: DS1 and DS2 were both sweet boys this morning, and DS1 is spending the afternoon with my mom, so I'll be able to get some stuff done (or just rest).
Whine: When I took DS1 to meet my mom, the traffic turned a 25-minute trip into an hour. DS2 cried whenever the car was not moving, which was pretty often.

Win: My MIL came over and helped DH clean the house while I napped with LO.
Whine: I'm also getting tired of constant company. DS is 8 days old now and the in-laws have been over every night to hold him, as well as the rest of DH's extended family. We have like 5 more people coming over tonight. I just want the chance for DH and I to enjoy our new little man by ourselves.

Win: made it to my first moms group outing with both DS and DD. And we scored a bunch of baby swag from Walmart: two sets of pacifiers, a 48 pack of diapers and 4 fruit Squoosh packs for DS! Whine: DD will not take a pacifier. She actually gags. I have resorted to letting her use my boob as a pacifier, on occasion, which has its own set of problems.

Win: I managed to wash her diapers, eat breakfast, drink my coffee, and take a shower before DH got home from work. We are now making our first trip (four hours) to let all my extended family meet lo.
Whine: LO is hell bent on being held ALL the time. If not she screams bloody murder and my mom keeps telling me that I'm spoiling her. :angry:
Win I vacuumed the whole house today, cleaned the bathroom, and cooked some soup for dinner. I also got 6 hours of sleep last night because husband took the first two wake ups.
Whine my boobs are killing me, I have a couple of firm spots that I'm keeping an eye on.
Win: we seem to have a sleep schedule set up. Feed at 11, in bed no later than midnight. Up around 5, back to sleep no later than 6 and up around 8 or 9. That's 7-8 of sleep! I'll take it!
Whine: I have a headache and house work yo do. In laws will be here tomorrow.
Win: I got DS1's room cleaned (it's so much easier when imhes not here!)
Whine: Can I change this to wine? I guess my whine is that there's other stuff I wanted to get done, but I feel so lazy. I just want to empty and reload the dishwasher before DH gets home at 4:15, and that will be enough accomplishments for one day. Plus, I took care of a tiny human, so that's something.
Win: we asked no one to come over this entire week so we could have some time by ourselves with DS. And the grandparents have not called us seven times a day this week so that's amazing in itself.
Whine: I can hear LO taking another BIG poop beside me. He has had some terrible ones today
Win: I've discovered side lying BFing and started doing it that way for LO's morning feed. It's so relaxing and buys me at least an extra hour of sleep!
Win: no more doctors visits, lo is doing well jaundice wise Whine: I'm in more pain because at the hospital all I did was lie in bed and now I've been in the car and walking...the doctor says just call if you need more pain meds but I have Kaiser and they have horrible automated phone systems and the doctor who said that is not on the email my doctor list.
Win: FI got home from work three hours early today! Whine: he's done nothing but sleep on the couch. I was looking forward to doing something tonight because FMIL offered to babysit and I've been cooped up in the house for over a week now, but no such luck. Oh, andplusalso he has to work tomorrow! I never knew how much I would miss the outside world. At least this way I'm staying away from the flu and all the viruses going around.
