Last night was my first night solo with Tommy! H went back to work today, so I wanted him to sleep. Especially since he's been letting me sleep the last 3 weeks and taking most of the MOTN duties. I think it went well. We had a rough patch between 1:30 and 3, but after he finally went back down around 3, he (we) slept til 6! And now he's back down.
Also: he slept pretty much exclusively in his RNP yesterday/last night (instead of on me or H) so hopefully this will help with the eventual transition to his crib. Or I'm 100% deluded, thinking I'm "teaching" a 3 week old baby anything. Time will tell.
How is it going with you all? What's happening today?

Omg @kc295905 Tommy is a crazy noisy sleeper. It's taken a couple "OMG SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG WITH HIM!!!!" wake ups from me to realize he's just making noises in his sleep and not awake and crying to get up. Lol

Cora did not want to settle down and sleep at all yesterday or last night. H ended up taking her around 10pm and hung out with her through her feeding at 3 when she finally settled the eff down and slept. I actually got some decent sleep for the first time in forever though. And by decent, I mean sleep without a person on top of me. She still insisted on sleeping on me from 3-630am though. I tried putting her in the RnP for a bit, and she lasted maybe 15 minutes before she realized she wasn't being held by a human and woke up bitching.

I'm part of a Target couponinh group and apparently there's a great diaper deal this week. I may have to go there. I have spent so much money at Target in the last 2 months.

I just got my Target debit card and downloaded Cartwheel (I know, late to the game), but I feel like I'm just going to spend MORE money now.

Morning..err afternoon. Last night was hell. Lil man went down fine..and then all hell broke loose. I mean constant crying and the only thing he wanted was to feed. I am praying it is just a weight boost for him. My dh took him twice and burped him and cuddled and he settled. But he wouldn't for me at all..sigh. Morning came I had to try and get DD ready for school..it was such a test. My boobs sent me a resignation letter last night. Lol.
Its sunny today and I am trying to nap but I suck at it.
Oh and bf moms...sooooo hungry all the time. I just eat and eat...never stops. After I feed its horrible. I could of just had dinner and I am looking for a bowl of cereal.
lastnamewithheld congrats on sleeping in the RnP. I am hoping he will soon break of this mommy only sleep. He sleeps in his RnP all day. Night time it has razors. Lol.
requiressnacks omg that hair and look at him. I can't believe they are 2 months old!!
Ugh - I developed mastitis over the weekend. It started on Thursday night with a clogged duct, which I tried to work out on Friday with the plan to call the doctor on Saturday morning if it was still blocked. On Saturday, I tried calling the doctors office (thinking they were open until noon), but they were closed. I called the lactation consultant support line at the hospital, and they said to keep doing all of the things I was trying, and to go see the doctor on Monday if it wasn't cleared. Yesterday, it kept getting bigger and more painful, until it was roughly as big around as a golf ball (and even breastfeeding, I'm probably only a B or C cup, so we're talking about a fifth of the boob!) and was excruciatingly painful. I also developed a fever (the highest I measured it at was 100.1, but that was after taking 600mg of Advil). So I called the on-call ob-gyn, who called in a prescription for antibiotics for me, which I started taking last night. There's definitely still a lump in there, but I feel far less feverish, and the redness, pain, and swelling, while still present, are starting to go down. Here's to hoping it all clears up quickly! At least now I have an even better excuse than usual to sit on the couch and cuddle with this guy!

Mine is Amazon, it's becoming a problem. Especially all the cardboard boxes!! I ordered a few things on subscription through them. I'll get the first shipment this week. And my husband just got finished breaking down and recycling all the boxes from the holidays. Surprise! It's not over.

We were planning to stay in bed and watch movies all day, but I had a burst of energy and it's warm out. Bath for Jane, and made breakfast and coffee for me. Now just thinking of what I can get done before the cleaners come.

WineNChocolate, that's how Tommy is with his crib. He's napped in it during the day, but at night, forget it. Jerk. I hope your boobs get a break soon!
sheepish, mastitis sounds awful. I'm glad it sounds like you're on the mend, though! Enjoy cuddles with that cutie!!

WineNChocolate cereal is my go to! Esp late at night sheepish hope you feel much better soon. Antibiotics and baby cuddles should do the trick! lastnamewithheld have a fun first day alone with T!
We have a newborn clinic visit today. I really like this clinic, it helps to know how feeding is going and get support. We're hoping she's up to 8lb5oz, that will mean only 5 more oz to get to birth weight. She really could go 4 hours when her tummy is full so we're hoping to get the ok for that at her first pedi appt next Monday. Feeding is getting better and better, she's remembering what the boob is for. It's been pouring rain for a few days and we haven't been able to go for walks, I'm starting to get a little stir crazy.

Alex has been clingy today. And Leo let me sleep in this morning i.e he slept in i.e he skipped his afternoon nap. I haven't been able to complete any one thing.
Also, my grandpa passed away this morning. We've been expecting it. My grandma died last month and after that he stopped eating. They were both in their 90's, lived a long happy life and now they're together again. I visited him last week to say goodbye. I'm not sure if I want to go to the wake, it can get super crowded. I'll prob just go to the mass.

Our house has five levels they are split levels, but it's a lot of stairs. So this is my solution. A pack and play bassinet on every level we hang out in. Ridiculous, but necessary

I'm so sorry littlelion. That seems to be happening in our group recently. My Grandma fell last week and my dad moved her in with him. I feel bad but she has Alzheimer's and I just want her to go. She says she feels like God forgot her.

That is so sad to think. My grandma had alzheimers too. And grandpa had a stroke, both about 9 yrs ago. He really lost his joy for life after the stroke kept him in a wheelchair. Like you, I'm happy to know they are no longer suffering.
