So looks like we are dealing with food allergies. I was right there was blood in DS2's poop. I have to cut out peanuts, chocolate and limit dairy. Go back next Wed. to recheck his poop.

I'm bummed. I have tickets to David Ortiz's last regular season game of his career, but the game is this Sunday. Originally I thought R would be about/almost a month old by then and I was gong to go and leave him home with MH for the day, but since he was late he'll only be 2 weeks. Going would mean me being gone for 10+ hours which seems way too long for 2 weeks old, especially since we're still figuring out this BFing thing.
I know I need to accept that I shouldn't be going, but I really wanted to be there so it's making me really sad to think of not going.
So I just tried on my fall prepregnancy clothes. So sad. Also I don't have one single pair of jeans that fit and it's going to be in the 60's all week. Boo.
Do your maternity jeans still fit? That's what I plan to wear for the time being.
ETA: I see this has been covered lol I have some side panel ones and you can barely tell that they're maternity.

Thanks ladies! My first thought was, "Mind your damn business lady!" But then I second guessed myself. You all made me feel better!
pismoduo I personally wouldn't go, but I'm a total worry wart like that. I know someone who went to Vegas for a weekend when their baby was a couple months. I think in your situation, your MIL lives with you and K will know her well and she'll know the routine and what not. I think LadyNymeria has a good idea, wait and see until closer to the trip.
LadyNymeria, that sucks about the game! That's a pretty long time to be away, your boobs would be killing you lol unless you have a manual pump and you pump and dump in the bathroom (or bring a cooler for it).

Negative and they're worn out. I have some shopping to do.
Ok so when did y'all with outside babies make your first outing with baby (other than ped)? We took DS2 to Costco this morning and I wore him in the K'tan. When we walked in the lady checking the cards asked how old and when we said 1 week she replied with, "way too young to be at Costco already." So now I have all the mom guilt. We were gonna go to target later but now I'm hesitant.
What say you, S16?
Looks like Costco is the place to bring your newborn! We also took R at Costco when he was 3 days old. He was in his car seat and we have a cover on it. No one saw him. We went grocery shopping when he was 4 days old and I wore him in the K'tan. People are stupid.

I am still rocking maternity clothes. No shame in my game

I had the same exact feels regarding my Adele tickets. I'm still mourning the fact that I missed it, but it would have been way too stressful for everyone involved if I went, so I feel good about my decision to stay home and pout about it instead.
The energy at Fenway will be amazing for that game. I can see why you're in a pickle.

I was at Jeter's last game at Fenway and Boston did such an amazing job celebrating him, I can't imagine how awesome Papi's goodbye will be.

Oh no, so sorry lady. Hope you figure it out soon.
ETA- I caught up and read where you go back to work in 5 months. I commend you for being willing to cut that much out of your diet to begin with. If it were me, depending on the allergy, I'd likely switch to formula now. I honestly don't think I could cut dairy out of my diet completely. It's in almost everything I consume!

This may be crazy but, could you not take him with you? He's a newborn, they sleep like 90% of the time. Baby wear, change bums wherever and get some baby ear protection. Sounds like a good day to me.SaveSave

+1. But I'm still pregnant lol. I totally wore maternity jeans for like 3 months pp the first time around.

I went to the grocery store with him in the Boba wrap at 5 days. At 4 days we did newborn photos then went to a bar...with both kids! #notsorry the beer was good! People are stupid! Life has to go on and the family has to eat. I had a few people comment on how young he was and that I should be resting but I said the rest of the family still had to eat and they stopped...can't argue with good parenting and doing what's got to be done.

I had actually been thinking about it but felt crazy for considering it. Nice knowing it doesn't sound that crazy to someone else!
I have a K'Tan that would keep him nice and snuggled up with me, it's not supposed to be overly warm, and it would be a group of us going including my parents so I'd have help.

oh no cbrandt1 ! My h has plans to be out of town at the end of October for 2 nights. I'm scared also so I already ask my parents if I could sleep at their house with the kids. Is there anyone in the area who could help you out?
My h is home until Thursday...I'm honestly feeling a lot of anxiety about him going back to work. I am so amazed by you all who are already juggling 2 on your own.
Good news is we had our 4 day appt and baby is up 2oz.

I've been talking to a friend of mine and she was in a similar situation with her DD a couple months ago. Her ped advised against going since baby hadn't had her shots yet.
Even if I keep him close to me, I'd hate to expose him to something from all those people just so I can go to a game...

I was really worried about MH going back. I only have the 1 (plus a dog), but it ended up being better than I expected.

No, we are the only ones in our state. We also just moved to a new area of town so we don't have friends here yet. He's going with 5 guys from work and they're DRIVING 8 hours away so if something happens, he's a long way out and at the mercy of the other folks.
I'm also bowing to the other ladies doing it on their own with 2... I keep telling mil I'm going to hog tie her so she can never leave.

Good luck!! You got this!!
I was also worried with 1, but then you add a tiny terror running around, beating the dog, putting remotes in the water bowl, hitting his head (or harming himself some other way), and tantruming while the little one is being nursed for 10 min is a WHOLE different ball game! With 1, he got held and snuggled all the time and cluster feeding was nbd...G doesn't get held half as much because DS1 is so ALL over the place! I'm scared to be alone.
