I am on the verge of clawing at my skin. I'm really nervous to take any Benadryl but holy shit this is out of control.
I EFF so I have no idea if this is BFing safe or not, but sometimes I will put icy hot gel on an itch. I have a really awful compulsion to skin pick so I pull out all the stops to ignore mosquito bites. The tingling sensation of the icy hot stuff kind of overpowers the itchiness.
We painted DS's room yesterday on a whim and I am in LOVE with the paint colour. I'm actually kind of sad that we used it in his room and not the living room so I can see it more often. I may paint an accent wall in the living room anyway since I have quite a bit of paint left over.
Kids are keeping us busy but I am trying to read and LT my way through here as much as possible. Hugs, hair pats and high fives all around!

B was so stuffy last night. I ended up shooting some saline up his nostrils and using the nosefrida at like 3:30am. I didn't get like anything with the sucker but the saline must have been enough because it cleared up after that thankfully. He must've finally caught a little bit of the cold that DD has had. 😔
DD slept in her own room last night. I think everyone is better for it today.
I'm desperate to give this a try but will probably wait a couple more weeks until B is 6 weeks old. He napped in his crib for like 40 minutes yesterday which was promising. I think in preparation for the transition, I'm going to try to get him to take at least 1 nap a day in his nursery in his crib.

It's harder to suck than expected. I'm going to try the saline though. Sending healthy vibes to fight off those cold germs.

DD is five weeks and I think this was the perfect time. Slightlybbetter at night sleep, + she's over 10 lbs so she's sleeping slightly longer stretches.

How do you have energy to paint!!!??
..Ok now off the read the rest of your random.
We splurged a bit and got AWESOME paint. Behr Marquee from Home Depot covers perfectly in one coat. And we have this really great edging tool. Start to finish (including dealing with 2 fussy littles) it took about 2hrs.
Also, my nesting urges seem to come on strongest after baby arrives. I think because I can finally move around without pain or a gigantic belly dragging me down.

Hopefully I don't experience this again but I'll keep the icy hot trick in mind. I bought some handmade soap from a friend's shop yesterday and it was gentler on my skin and the rash is drying out a bit.

Omg this paint really is awesome! We got it by accident and we did not expect to spend that much on paint BUT I'm glad we did because it really does make a difference
We hit our deductible for the year so a home health nurse came out today. Baby looks good. Looks like her weight loss is done so i feel better about that.
Dd1 just went for a nap and said "night night Scarlett baby"
I wasn't around much yesterday -- I had a busy day and mastitis to top it all off. I texted my OB and she called in ABX and I'm already feeling so much better, 3 doses in. I was able to play outside with the older 2 for the morning and now they're down for a simul-nap. 👏🏻
DD2 is sleeping in her bassinet and DD1 is currently reading with H and about to nap as well. I'm sitting on the couch in peace, catching up on randoms. And it's 65 and sunny today so we have doors and windows open. I will take this moment of quiet and enjoy it!
mosdub sounds like lots of cluster feeding from your little guy!
Tons! My milk has come in like crazy to the point where I'm literally dripping, and he's gone above and beyond where they want him to be in terms of # of feedings and # of pee/poo diapers. His poop has already changed consistency beyond what they say he should be at. He's kind of a monster and I'm basically a cow.
M just had a blow out in the rock n play 😩 now I need to throw the fabric in the wash but I don't have a great place to put him down while doing so. At least the toddler is napping. I NEED her nap to be at least 2 hrs today, she slept terribly last night and has been having meltdowns all over the place the past few days. Even though it's the weekend so DH is home, he's *still* working on the bathroom reno so he's no help. The shower better actually be done this weekend. I'm so over this project.
elsmom that is rough! I hope the project gets done soon so you can get some more help!
So I had a clogged duct that got inflamed last night. I spiked a fever of 101.5 and felt awful. Pumped and used warm compresses and I'm feeling better now but it was rough.
In better news I put on a pair of pre-pregnancy leggings and I actually pulled them up. Definitely snigger and with muffin too that was not there before but it's a start!
It hasn't even been 2 years but I forgot how often new babies need to eat. I remembered it being a lot but my brain blocked out exactly what that meant. We're off to an early Easter party on base shortly. DS should have a blast with bouncy castles, treats, crafts and his buddies.
