Monday randoms 8/23

[twocents6708]

DS pooped in the MOTN. That hasn't happened in a while. He was so angry when I unswaddled him to change before feeding him. Now he has passed out again and I am wide awake.

[k3am]

No fun for anyone involved!

This is my last Monday of maternity leave. I'm pretty sure I'm going to really hate being up at 1:26 even more when I'm back to work.

I legit thought you were so tired you were reading the clock wrong. "It's definitely almost 6..." Yeah time zone difference duh.

It's 5 here and DD is wide awake.... It's not been a great night. 😕

[teraiin]

DS nursed forever in the middle of the night. My breast feels better, not great, but better. I'm not sure if I should call now or just keep pumping/ nursing, using ointment, and compresses and re-evaluate in a couple of days.

DS is currently "sleeping" and by sleeping I mean eyes closed deep even breathing until I set him down. 😔 The last few days I've ended up dosing with him in my arms and we get another couple hours of slee but I know that's not safe so I'm trying to not let myself doze off. But I'm not a fan of 5:30-6:30 as a wake up either...

Sorry for rough night friend 😩

I've learned if you have been questioning it for a few days you might as well go in a get it checked. If for nothing else it I'll give you peace of mind

I was really hoping I'd be one of the lucky ones that didn't get a period while breastfeeding. CD1 tells me I am not one of the lucky ones. Womp womp.

[aaemommy]

Cam woke up over an hour and a half early this morning- right after I'd pumped. I tried as long as I could to soothe him back to sleep to no avail. So he screamed in his crib for 30 mins while I showered and got ready. Now he's so upset he can't nurse. Not a good way to start Monday. 😞

I go back to work today. Well, tonight. 6 nights in a row. Wish me luck.

[snoris]

Last night was awful ... Ry's belly was hurting and he was just screaming at like 330 and wouldn't stop 😥 and he just woke up crying again.. The only thing calming him down is nursing .. I'm glad we're going to the dr today so I can ask them about it

[gahorseygal]

Over the weekend DS would wake up around 11 pm (goes to bed around 7:30pm) and then would sleep until 5 or 6am. It was so nice. So last night he woke about 10:30 pm so I expected him to sleep until about 5am. No, of course since it's Monday he's going to wake at 2:30 as well.

Honestly I should be thankful I only had one wake up during my sleep time but man this weekend was so nice!

The higher dose of Zantac seems to be helping except last night when I was trying to get him to nurse before bed he had a big vomiting episode. I had given him his night dose about 10 minutes earlier so I ended up giving him another dose. He seemed more agitated than normal last night but I hope it was just an odd night.

I just have to say...I HATE REFLUX. My older sister had a lot of trouble when she was little with it and vomiting and I'm so afraid that's going to be DS.

More than just gas? I hope he gets some relief and the doctor can maybe give you an answer.

A minor dilemma here. MH volunteered to make dinner yesterday, yay! Well, it was not good but I ate it anyway. If I tell him, his feelings will be hurt and he probably won't volunteer to cook for a while. If I don't, I risk having to eat that meal again. WWM16D?

[nerdykitten]

Sorry for the rough MOTN wake-ups.

Good luck to you ladies going back to work this week.

The higher dose seems to be helping us too gahorseygal, bit he still has a bigger vomit occasionally.

What did he make? If you can spin it as being something you have never been a big fan of that might make it easier.

I'm honest with H. He likes super quick and easy meals that tend to be very bland. Once I explained why I don't like what he cooks I don't think he was offended. I just do most of the cooking and he does the dishes. Or if I need help with the cooking I have to give him a recipe or tell him what to do.

My friends little girl just turned 2 months and DS will be 3 months Sept 2nd. Her DD is already grabbing and pulling at toys. DS has no interest in grabbing anything.

Is he behind? Or is her DD just advanced. My DD always loved toys and grabbed them pretty early on too.

DD is back to sleeping late thank god! The early morning wake up was a phase for us. I knew last night would be bad because she barely ate all day so I was ready mentally! Haha!

Noooo!! Go away AF!

[westiemom]

redt good luck today!!

Sorry for the rough night birkmmm

Sorry for the rough start to Monday aaemommy!

fishbulb I would probably let it go and if he offers again, tell him then!

[aaemommy]

fishbulb could you help suggest a meal next time he offers so he doesn't make it again right away? Then if he brings it up again say you weren't a big fan of that meal but by then he's made other meals so it wouldn't be a put-down to the only meal he's made.
westiemom I hope your day is going better!
Good luck redt
birkmmm I hope Ry is feeling better this morning. Hopefully the doctor has some insight to make him feel better!

"just turned 2, will be 3" is SO close you shouldn't compare or worry.  Were their due dates close together? far apart? 
Dont' worry about it.  At this age, DS1 didn't grab on to anything.  But DS2 (just turned 3) grabs everything, but has zero interest in rolling!  All kids go at their own pace!
