I'm reading thru the site wide Uos. I just so can't! I don't know 99% of those people and am starting to get a little rage-ie. I'll just to this group and cloth diapers. I think most of you are at least fairly sain!
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of UOs or FFFCs in general, so a sitewide one was definitely something I'd steer clear of.
spicysalmonroll are you using a pacifier? Baby girl got up at the 2 hour mark last night after nursing and taking a 2oz bottle. So I stuck binky in her mouth and got another hour.
thelorax way to go momma!!! What an amazing birth story. I would have totally lost my cool if a head were coming out at home. Congratulations and enjoy that new baby!!
Re: sitewide uo/fffc, Mischeif's synopsis thread in Parenting is perfect. I couldn't when I saw how many pages it was, but she is heroically condensing it for us plebs. Haha

No we are trying not to use one. It's hard though, there are times he just wants to suck for a minute then fall asleep so I may have to crack and give him one!

oooOOOooo I forgot about this. Late night entertainment for me tonight yes!
I was semi productive today! I have a 5k I signed up for happening this weekend and I picked up my number and shirt. I feel like my midwife said no walking for an indefinite period of time. Has anyone heard of that? I plan to call and ask but I feel like I won't get the answer I'm hoping for.
I cut my dogs' hair today too. They look so cute.
Oh and my carbon monoxide detector went off today. Apparently the dryer was hiccuping carbon monoxide so they shut it off I ordered a new washer dryer 2 weeks ago and should be delivered Friday so no harm done. I was worried it was the hot water heater and was about to call the plumbers to clean it, but glad there was nothing else I needed to do.
Tomorrow the plan is to order babys newborn photos and announcements and go to some courthouse like place to pick up his birth certificate. I didn't know they didn't issue them in the hospital.
So the people we sold our house to are turning out to be a little ghetto. I got a call from the city over multiple code violations (trash, lawn care, non working vehicles) and they told me there were multiple independent complaints filed. I feel a little bad, but not my house, not my problem right??
shanny I'm just a SAHM, so obvi I have time for everyone's problems /sarcasm
I did get a full kindergarten and 1st grade lesson done today as well as park and feeding everyone. I may even have energy for storytime after bath. I'm hiding in my room nursing baby while H does bathes today.

Hey all, just wanted to pop in and say hi! I haven't caught up yet, I'm making my way through - congrats to all on some mega adorable babies!!
I've been MIA lately, trying desperately to get used to life with a newborn. My folks were in town, which was a mix of helpful and extremely irritating. Now my in-laws are here. I've been struggling with breastfeeding - breast feeding, pumping, and bottle feeding supplement at ever feeding. It's exhausting, but I am going to a breastfeeding clinic tomorrow and I have some hope that they'll be able to help me.
Baby's bris was yesterday, and we named him Eli Herschel. It feels good to finally share his name!
Hope you all are doing well, I'm excited to catch up and learn about the nitty gritty.
hannahbear learning to breastfeed is not easy! I hope the clinic is helpful and there are some other moms to bond with. A good amount of my close mom friends actually came from a breastfeeding support group at our medical clinic! Hope the bris was fun and you can relax now that the event is over.
Wrong side of the bed wakeups sure follow a girl around all day long.
DD had a nasty poop and didnt tell me, but had stuck her fingers down the back of her diaper and came running to me saying "sticky fingers!" OMG child. Whatever, I change her diaper and tell her we are laying down for a nap because mommy stops being able to function on 4 hours sleep after a partial day.
She didn't want any of it. So I keep an ear on her and lay down hopefully to doze. An hour later or so... I smell poop and think, I swear I wiped her little bottom really well, wtf. Well.... she had had the worst poosplosion she has ever had in her life. And again, didn't tell me. So there was poo falling off her back, her shirt and pants were smeared, and it blends into the carpet. I can't tell where she has been.
I about lost my mind at her. I feel really bad, it is not her fault her tummy went effing bonkers. Its not her fault I wasn't awake all the way to pay attention. I finally got her isolated on a towel (after accidentally getting poop all over my bed) and wiped her up as much as possible, but all ya'll who already have kids know that a bath is the only real answer. I sent a desperate plea text to SO, and to his credit he locked his shop and came right upstairs. I can't do baths this pregnant, as I can't get back up from the tub by myself. So he gave her a bath while I stripped the bed and bagged everything poopy...sobbing like a lunatic the entire time.
DD is fine, but she has been more standoffish to me lately anyway, and I feel so guilty for going off on her.
And now I am paranoid that there is poop in places I can't see.
Guys, we all have bad days, right? My kid isn't gonna hate me or be scarred for life because I yelled at her, right? I am having a terrified feeling about, what do I do when I have 2 kids to handle?

thelorax What a birth story!! Glad you're all doing well!
Sooo DD2 is 2 weeks old today, and seems to be as clingy as my other 2 were. I need to be able to set her down to pump, fix lunches, laundry, etc. I have a vibrating bouncy seat, which she can be ok in for a few minutes if she's in the right mood to start with (that mood being "sleeping deeply"). Is the Rock & Play the easy answer to all my problems? She likes being in the moby wrap, but I don't think I can pump with that on & im not comfortable cooking while wearing her.
On a not-unrelated note, we had our 2-week checkup today, and she's only gained an ounce in a week, so we were instructed to increase formula. Which is fine, obviously; she needs to eat and grow. (It is also hard on me because the whole "breast is best" thing is so deep in my brain, and because I really do want to maximize my supply, but ultimately is fine & what I did with my other 2.) I was also reprimanded for bed-sharing. Which I've actually been badly, badly anxious about this time around, but she wakes up when I set her down whether she's swaddled or not. She will sleep on a lap, or next to me. And if she sleeps, I sleep. And then I can safely operate a motor vehicle! So I asked the ped (not our usual; he's on vacation) for suggestions, and she said to let her cry; "she'll fall asleep eventually." I'm not super familiar with cry it out, but isn't it not recommended for 2-week olds? I'd actually prefer her to sleep in her crib or basinette; I just don't know how to make that happen--any suggestions? (Sorry for the novel--I left the appointment feeling like a bad mom & am kind of at a loss about how to fix this stuff.)
venyia, yes. We all have bad days. You will do great with two kids. Pregnancy is hard, especially when chasing a toddler. She will not hate you or be scarred for life, I promise. Hugs!
dorkusmalorkus I'd give the Rock and play a shot. If she doesn't like it, return it! I know buybuybaby is typically pretty good about returning stuff like that.
