Freakin' Weekend!

[ellabee]

I picked up some paint samples for our exterior. DH wants to go yellow. Im nervous. Yellow is so easy to get wrong. 😬

I can't remember if I shared this here or not. We're painting our house because we're replacing all of our windows. We're replacing all of our windows because DD was chewing on hers. We found this out after her lead levels came back elevated from her 3yr checkup. Her numbers weren't high enough for the pedi to be concerned about her health, but I sure as heck felt sick to my stomach awful about the fact that we didn't replace the windows when we bought the house last year. Ugh.

There goes a huge chunk of savings. 😩

I took my first dose of PPD meds today. looking forward to feeling better. someone else was bf on them too right? DH thinks we should stop BF bc of the meds, I just don't know. I'll pick up some formula at costco, maybe mix it with the frozen? H wouldn't eat the thawed frozen we tried last night, not sure what I'm going to do, I have a freezer full of it...

Im on Zoloft. I was with my older child too. After talking with my doc and doing some research im pretty comfortable with breastfeeding.

Do whatever feels right to you. There are no wrong answers. I'm proud of you for taking care of yourself!

[MissDemeanor]

F hasn't pooped in a few days. Im bracing myself now... But we're at home now so fire away.

I just sent one million dollars at Costco to get ready for summer rental season. And I bought paint. I REALLY just want to test it out right now

I love yellow! Sorry about having to do the job though

[silvermelody]

Dang lakegirl you are Doing the Most with two kids. I can't even get DS into the backyard. I'm just like ehhhhhh.

Omg I want to sleep that long meeggaannw

LovesMeSomeCake I'm on 100mg Zoloft and still bf. I was on 50 with DS for several months and he was bf. I hope meds help you! I'm still fighting to get N to take a bottle but may have made a breakthrough today

All that to say, be prepared. Hope it happens at daycare!

Nothing pleases me more than when my children do all their pooping for the day at daycare. I really feel like I get my money's worth on those days!

Nanny just texted me that E had three big messy poops today. Definitely got my money's worth.

[silvermelody]

pibblemom what an adorable caboose! I can't believe our cabooses are three months

ellabee yikes! Our house is pre-1960 but has all new paint so I'm trying not to stress about lead. DS doesn't chew on windows thankfully. My parent's house is a pale yellow and it looks nice imo

[silvermelody]

My incision isn't hurting too much today but I'm taking Advil religiously.

I also booked our flights for my little brother's wedding in October. Since it was so early we got great prices. We saved about $700 total from what we expected for the tickets (N will be a lap child but DS will be too old)

[peaseblossom55]

silvermelody, glad the incision is feeling better!

The 4 O'clock conference call is already over. I'm so glad, the weekend is in sight!

[MissDemeanor]

I'm 97% sure BF won't like the paint colour we picked out. But I do, so I'm just going to try to finish before he gets home from work.

[pibblemom]

C hadn't pooped in about 2 days. MIL said that she pooped today so I thought we were in the clear. I carried her into the DMV to renew our registrations (in that cute yellow dress) and I could feel the rumbles. I had visions of 2-3 days of poop over flowing onto my hands 😲luckily the diaper held fine, but no changing tables = backseat change. It could have been bad.

[ambiguousmango]

I spoke to soon. The fire alarm in our apartment complex has gone off twice in the last two hours. To make matters worse is it keeps happening right after I have gotten Q calmed down and to sleep. I swear I am about to go Rambo on someone if my baby doesn't get a nap!!

[ambiguousmango]

Also since we are talking about poop anyways... Q still seems to poop after all of his daytime feeds when does this end? Soon hopefully?

[lakegirl]

I'm glad you're feeling okay silvermelody! I hope you have a speedy recovery.

[rinny]

Well. Lincoln still hasn't pooped yet. I'm betting everything he does it at the zoo tomorrow.

[silvermelody]

N poops very randomly, usually 2-3 times a day. Hardly ever MOTN anymore. But she never pooped after every feeding.

I'd be taking his butt temp now to get things started in hopes of avoiding a poopsplosion during my fun outing.

So what does a your baby wear to bed when they are no being swaddled and it's too warm for sleepers? I just put E in a short sleeve onesie.

Just a onesie. I've also done just a diaper in a cotton sleep sack.

Our house is never too warm for sleepers. We keep it around 72-74. So she's always in a cotton sleeper and Halo sleep sack. If she did seem to be getting too warm, I'd go onsie and sleep sack.

This. We've done short sleeve onesie, tank top onesie, or diaper only when swaddled depending on room temp. MH is always worried she's cold, but we double swaddle and I always have to make sure the rooms cool. She seems to be like her mama and hate being too warm.

[silvermelody]

They generally say to put baby in one more layer than you are wearing. So cotton sleep sack over a onesie is usually what we do

[rinny]

We do a onesie under swaddle if it's warm.



Looks like it's going to rain here all morning now, so no zoo . We'll still do cake and presents for him this afternoon with my family. My stomach is also feeling sick - it really, really feels like the start of my period, but I hope not!!! I made it 8 mos last time.

[lakegirl]

There was quite the thunderstorm last night. I'm surprised the kids didn't wake up! Getting ready to head over to sil's for her baby shower today.

[lakegirl]

And dd is 3 months today!
I'm going to start a fresh baby AW thread on the private board.

[silvermelody]

DS found a pack of crayons in his closet that I had stashed from Christmas. I took them away but I foresee some coloring later.

It's also gorgeous out so maybe some backyard time. Grandma sent bubbles a while ago but it was too rainy

[peaseblossom55]

And I have a new nanny! Thank goodness. She seems really good too. I feel so relieved.

[silvermelody]

Yay peaseblossom55! That must be such a relief. Hope she's an improvement.

N is humming while she nurses, it's so cute. She also likes to grab the middle of my bra and hold it

[heybulldog56]

That's great news peaseblossom55!

We are on our way to "A Day Out with Thomas". I think I'm more excited than DS.
