I really wish Hazel pooped more than once every 4-6 days. By day 4 she has such stinky farts, then her poop smells absolutely disgusting. Who knew I'd rather change poopy diapers everyday opposed to this?

Today is the first day that I'm considering going to the mall just to walk around. Yesterday I didn't leave the house and I think I was a crabby person because of it.
requiressnacks I assume you have the same lovely weather we have down here right? I am team don't leave the house. Though to be fair that is me everyday.

And clearly I'm tired bc I just quoted myself instead of editing.
I would really love it if S wasn't up every two hours all night long. And she doesn't even sleep very long during the day! The longest I'll let her go is an hour and a half, but usually 40 mins to an hour and then I feed her and fight her for two hours to go down. Does everyone just let LOs sleep on them, in a carrier, in R&p's, etc.? Last time we let DS sleep wherever and he slept poorly at night in the crib so this time I'm being militant about crib but she is still up three to four times a night.
Also stop spitting up please. Slightly better with Zantac. At least maybe not hurting her so much? Poor kiddo.
legalbeagle, I pretty much let Hazel sleep wherever she wants during the day. 99% of that time being on me. But she sleeps fine at night in the RnP, so I don't really stress about it.
I did the same with DD2 and she slept like crap at night in her own crib. So I think each kid is different, so maybe S will sleep fine at night even if she sleeps on you during the day.
@leaglebeagle during the day dd will nap in various places then bassinest for night time. I'm going to start introducing the crib for naps when dh goes back to work so she's used to it for eventual night transition.
No appointments for us today, yay! I want to finish cleaning and go for a walk since it's finally not raining, but otherwise I want to nap.

legalbeagle, my babies only sleep in the RnP - for naps or at night. They occasionally will fall alsleep in the stroller if I'm out and about running errands or whatever, but would never just fall asleep in a random place. I am terrified for the transition to crib, honestly.
And yes, LOVELY weather in the northeast, eh? But I guess it's been pretty mild so far this year so I can't complain.
So wtf to our church... I want to hear your opinions. DD1 had her First Reconciliation last night (confession). There were 6 priests there from various parishes because it was such a large group. Afterwards, I googled the priest DD1 saw to find out where he was from and discovered he had been in jail. He went to jail in 2002 for making and distributing date rape drugs. WTF?! I had to leave my 7 year old alone with this creep. Would you let it go or bring it up to the Religious Ed director or write a letter to the Bishop? I just can't believe they thought he'd be a good priest for children to see for their first confession.

So we brought Moose in and my husband really wanted to come even though he had a meeting for work he had to call in for. Daniel (husband) got all stressed out and blamed me (with his voice) because we had to wait to see the vet at the clinic and he thought he would miss his meeting. First off he shouldn't have come. I sent him home and we hung around and got Moose checked in. Now he's coming back to get us when his meeting is done. Why can't he plan accordingly? This meeting happens every single day. Is it really that big of a deal if he misses it? I plan on discussing with him how he talks to me when he's stressed. It's not OK. It's demeaning and I don't want Jane to ever hear that and think it's OK. I'm not sure if I'll tell him about the dog that came in after he left and fought Moose. Moose won, but the vet techs had to pull the other dog away.

Oh and Jane slept through the entire thing. Still sleeping thank goodness.

Thanks guys! Her nap was 38 mins -- 10 mins of me holding her, 7 mins for me to get pump together and pump, 21 mins of me playing with my dog (kicking tennis ball with my foot) while eating breakfast, vitamins, folding laundry. Sigh. Okay, for those who let them sleep on you -- in a carrier so you can get stuff done/take care of your needs?
I am trying to remember that she's here and healthy and probably not so dissimilar from other babies her age (and omg to kcnumbers what an awful night) but momma does not do well on sleep deprivation.
My niece was like that. My sister had a trick that worked for a while. She'd take her tshirt she wore that day and lay it close to baby maybe under the blanket. That way she could smell her mom close by.

Alex put up a fight for the first 2 hrs last night, falling asleep at the boob but waking up in crib. I nursed him in bed laying down cause I was so sleepy. I had 2 nightmares about him falling to the floor from the bed. After the 2nd one I had to wake dh up so he could reassure me everything was ok. Poor guy was confused. He kept asking where Alex was and I said the crib and he's like how could he fall out of the crib? It's funny now.
Ah crap. Leo's hysterics just woke up Alex. It's a miracle he gets any type of sleep in the day with his loud brother.
We do a mixture for sleep. At night she's in the Mamaroo, which makes me nervous about transitioning. During the day it's wherever, but she likes the Ergo Baby and being held best. I'm trying to get her to nap more on flat surfaces, like the couch, with supervision. She's not as crazy about the RNP. My other issue is that she just wants to sleep in unsafe ways. She wants to burrow into your elbow or armpit, snuggle up with blankets, sleep on her stomach or side, etc. like she trying to suffocate herself. I'll be so glad when she can roll over because I think she'll sleep much better when she can be on her stomach.
Cora sleeps great at night. We feed her around 10 or 11, she complains herself to sleep, then wakes up around 4 to eat again, and again 3 - 4 hours after that. It's great. What's not so great is that she only sleeps on me. I had zero intention of sleeping with the baby this time (I did it with my first 2, but I really didn't want to this time). I don't know what happened.

legalbeagle my LO doesn't sleep much during the day unless she's being held. I'm trying to wrap her in blankets now when I hold her to see if she can transition to another location more easily wrapped up so it feels closer to the same, although sleeping with a blanket is not ideal. She sleeps really well at night in a Dock a Tot in our bed but we've had no luck with the actual crib at night or during the day, and mediocre success with the Dock a Tot for naps. I think it works at night because I sleep there next to her unlike normally during the day. My goal for the next couple weeks is to commit to the napping and test some different methods to find a good napping solution. Good luck to you!!
