DD has outgrown all her NB carter's pjs, but the 3 mo are enormous on her...so annoying. DH and I did have a good laugh last night though when I was attempting to shove her in a fleece NB pair. If it was summer, she'd just sleep in a long sleeved onesie.
We have this situation happening here too! I washed them a few times in hopes of shrinking slightly

Ugh he woke up crying as soon as I got comfy on the couch. I hope this means he's figuring out day and night. Maybe he'll sleep more than two hours at a time tonight! I shouldn't get my hopes up...
I, on the other hand, am back to popping Colace...
rinny, judyblume14, this had me lol because seriously that's all I've done today. Still on colace too and dnw to think about how it'd feel without.
My kid has not left the boob for more than 5 mins since 7am. It's now 1140. That whole sleep when the baby sleeps is really freaking hard when she'll only sleep on the boob! All I want is a nap.
Fwiw, at least she's latching today without much fuss. I caught her at 3am before she woke up, pumped a bit and used that to tease her into taking my nipple. Then at 7am hallelujah she went right on once she woke up. I legit cried last night at the idea of waking her up to nurse bc yesterday had been so damn hard. So, I guess I'm saying I'll take a painful 5 hour cluster feed over boob refusal
Edit: no autocorrect I did not mean creaking hard.

My OB said two weeks until I could lift DS again. That was a lie. Did it one last night and instant regret. Having a lot of bleeding this morning. I'm thinking closer to four weeks is going to be reality. In the meantime I can't put him to bed when DH is working.
Baby N has chiro this morning and I have a checkup this afternoon for my incision infection.
I am so so tired. E only wants to be held. She falls asleep on me and when I get up to do anything and try to put her down she cries. I wish I could wear her it would make life so much easier. At our last appointment pedi wanted us to wait a little longer.
Ok STMs with 2 kids of the same sex. Please tell me I'm not the only one with significant problems referring to LO2 by the correct name? I am fine when addressing him, but if casually referencing, DS1's name comes out 90% of the time. I get so much side eye from my husband every time.
heybulldog56 love that print! What brand? I've been staying out of the cloth diaper loop because there were just too many cute prints and I didn't really need more.
pibblemom yay for the small successes! Also, don't stop taking colace until you've finished the entire bottle. Even then, be vigilant.

tex who's the weaver? It's pretty! I'm a huge babywearing geek so there will be more from me as I get on my feet more
@orangcrush ring sling is better under 12 months imo unless the kid is already used to being worn in one. And my kid was a leaner after about eight months so we moved to SSC and more wraps
FFTC I meant to do swim lessons with DS but it never happened
ellabee yay no more heel sticks and great weight gain! Good job mama!
rinny ew, I'm sorry. For all our Breastfeeding woes I'm so glad neither kid was a spitter or had food intolerances
pibblemom it will get easier. She'll start figuring it out and she'll get bigger and get neck control. All help.
Dd's appointment went well! She's up to 7lb9oz, only three ounces away from her birth weight! We don't need to go in for a weight check, wheeeee. Hopefully this means she will avoid the weight issues ds had. Even though that just seemed to be his growth curve all the extra appointments and lectures jacked up my anxiety. I'm really hoping for a more relaxed newborn phase. *crosses fingers*

Not alone! I do this all if the time and MH corrects me. With increasing snark. I blame the sleep deprivation. I can barely remember my own name some times.
rinny - forget the same sex, I sometimes call B "her" or "she". I stranger asked how old he was the other day in the store and I said "oh she's 3 weeks...errrm I mean he". She looked at me like I was so dumb for confusing the sex of my kid.

rinny, neither of my kids gets called by the right name. For some reason, the toddler gets called by her cousin's name. And the babe is referred to by the toddler's name.

lakegirl, I believe it's a thirsties cover. And co grays on the weight gain! Way to go baby lake!
rinny, yeah add me to the club. This kid gets called the toddlers name all the time.
MissDemeanor, damn dog hair. I miss my dog but I do not miss the hair. I still find her hair and she's been gone since July. But maybe that speaks more to my house cleaning abilities...
... Still nursing. 6 hours. She falls asleep and off the boob, i swaddle to put her down, crawl into bed, instant meltdown. It gets easier right?
With B I nurse 1 side, do a diaper change and swaddle, then do the 2nd side. After he pops off the 2nd side he's already all wrapped up and ready to go back in the bassinet with minimal jostling.

H just sent me a link for an English Bulldog up for adoption at the animal shelter. He must be on drugs. My h, not the dog; the dog sounds great. But.. no.
