You guys. So many of you are going back to work! Here I am with an 8 week old... and I can't imagine going back to work! His schedule is still super erratic, he freaks out randomly... Please tell me things get markedly better between weeks 8 and 12.
Ha this is me exactly. 8 week old as well and can't imagine going back to work now. I'm still getting up at least 3 times a night. I need more sleep before I need to use my brain.
So I ended up washing the play mat yesterday after her play date. I figured it was dirty anyway bc I hadn't washed it in awhile... So of course this AM poopsplusion on the mat and in her new outfit. Back to the wash we go

Yes, I think between weeks 10 and 12, K grew up a lot! Seems more like a baby now and less like a fussy newborn!

My LO is 12 weeks and I can't imagine going back now. I mean we all do what we have to, but LO does not really have a schedule, still doesn't have any kind of consistency between feedings and I am definitely still up 3 times or more most nights. I am starting to think August (when I go back) is too soon...

I go back in August too and I don't know if I'll be ready. I went back at 12 weeks with my first so I've done this before but I'm just craving some extra time at home. I know that two months makes a big difference though.
Any of you working moms pumping? Its only week 1 and its getting tiresome. Want to keep it going as long as I can. So far i've been pumping more than she drinks at DC so good start I guess.

I don't work, but girl, that's a good place to be (re: pumping more than baby eats)! You got this

Our a/c went out this evening... Hoping to hear from the a/c company the warranty people contacted first thing in the morning. It's the south and it's HOT

Oh, that is awful!! H and I came home from our honeymoon to the air out. We got married in August. Did I mention we live in Alabama otherwise known as pure hell?

Not yet but I will in August. I'm planning to have at least 250 oz stored in the freezer (a month's worth of daycare milk) so I can stop at the end of January. I have about 90 oz now and I'm pumping once a day for a stash. I was able to stay ahead last time so hope it's the same second time around! Pumping definitely gets old.
megrae12 That's terrible! There are definitely parts of the south that are worse than others so I'm thankful we live somewhat close to the coast where there's usually a breeze.
Heard from the ac people. Soonest they can come is Tuesday!!! WTF!!
I haven't done any sewing since LO was born but I'm thinking about breaking out the machine again to make her a sun hat. There are so few available in a small size. Her head is so tiny, she is gonna be in the 0-3 month hat sizes for awhile, maybe even the whole summer. They just fit her now and she definitely has room to grow in them and I have lots of extra fabric

Pumping is the worst but I remember last time after I weaned I missed the 3 daily 20-30 minute breaks to relax in solitude away from my boss and dick around on my phone so I am totally focusing on that this time.

Me last night to J as he was being ridiculous while nursing: "If you would just keep sucking it will come!" As soon as the words were out of my mouth DH and I lost it. Reasons I should think then speak.

So, how many hours did your kids cry per day at 8 weeks? I'm looking at all of these sample "schedules" online and they're all organized into half hour to hour and a half blocks. And I'm over here trying to get my kid to hang out for more than 20 minute without a melt down.
First attempt at making a sun hat. It's not deep enough so it looks hilarious. Also not sure why I thought making the brim stiff for a hat for a baby that can't sit up was a good idea... Lol hopefully back later today with a more working hat.

Every kid is different. My two boys were just like you describe. Actually maybe worse - for 12 weeks i felt like if they were awake, they were crying. Obviously they had happy moments, but we were happy to get 5-10 minutes. My DD on the other hand, sat in the bouncy seat watching me on the treadmill for 30 minutes one time. I couldnt believe it.

Just left the gym after my first workout. When I didn't want to do that last set i thought, "I pushed a baby out of my vagina after 4 hours of pushing I can lift these weights!
