Hi! No plans. Working tonight.
I had to do a very abbreviated workout this morning and I'm not thrilled. My husband told me I had to get an early workout in because he has a conference called at 9:30. I took the toddler on a run so that all he had to do was put the baby down while we were gone (about 30 minutes) and I came home to him in a tizzy because the baby wouldn't go down. I had to watch the toddler while he finished trying to put the baby down. He then rushed me to finish my circuit and shower. Like why can't he do anything baby related?
I haven't had a chance to poke around here yet, but I'm interested to see the activity. And I'm interested to see if I can hack it over on SM. ☹️

I am going to see my good friends two week old baby tomorrow. She had an extremely high risk pregnancy and successfully carried to 37 weeks! I am so proud of how amazing and strong she was through it all. And both mom and baby are totally healthy.
There was a short time where they were very concerned about the mothers ability to survive the pregnancy due to her risk factors. It's been a scary 9 months.

I literally have every hour between now and Sunday at 1pm scheduled. It's gonna be a crazy weekend. Hopefully a few of those hours are sleep. Kiddo decided to be up nursing about every 1.5 hours. I think we are at the point where I'm waking him up when he's in my bed. I need to force myself to stay awake while he nurses and then put him back in his bed.
flyinghorses6 So glad your friend is healthy and has her baby in her arms now! I registered with SM (same username) but have just been lurking a bit. No posting for me yet.
wildflower810 FX for some sleep and that you guys have a fun albeit busy weekend!
I am doing a CycleBar class with the babysitter after work today. I am excited to try it out. Although when I told DH about it last week his words were "Who's going to watch the kids then?" LOLOLOL. you are. have fun bai.

Well, I'm on my third cup of coffee before 8:30 and baby is already down for a nap. DS2 is actively resisting nursing. I'm not sure what the problem is. He screams and screams until let down and then he pops on and off until both of us are frustrated. I'm wondering if his reflux meds need an adjustment. He'll take a bottle, but ya know, not always in a place where I can warm one quickly or magically pump milk. He also hasn't pooped in several days. We started a probiotic yesterday and I'm hopeful we will work it out.

I think I spent more time last night awake (feeding/ changing/ rolling over/ positioning DS/ his small party at 5am/ etc) than actually sleeping. The bottom of my sheets are just a twisted ball from all the constant movement.
The girls have vaccines today. DD1 is missing 1 more for school and DD2s 18ms. Then I'm supposed to meet MIL for a walk after lunch if they all aren't losing their shit. Should be a good day.

I keep forgetting and then remembering we have a wedding to go to this weekend! I am so excited, it's the wedding of one of my oldest friends and his parents are some of my favorites!
I am sooo tired. Weaning from the harness is throwing everything off. Little girl won't sleep or eat or chill like normal. I'm hoping we'll balance out in a day or two.
No fun plans here this weekend. G's 3rd birthday is in a couple weeks so I need to start brainstorming ideas. Maybe a Finding Nemo theme since she's still hooked on watching it practically every day.

It's rainy and cold here. My plan is to stay home and Netflix.
I think my neighbor has short term memory problems or is really socially awkward. He lives in the apartment above me and we meet in the elevator sometimes. We have talked. I know him, I know his name. But he doesn't seem to remember me.
Yesterday:
Him: oh do you live on the second floor? Me: yeah I'm on #23. You live right above me. Him: (looks at baby) How old is he? Me: 3 months Him: I hear him cry sometimes. Me: ... Him: I love kids Me:...
Today:
Him: (looks at baby like it's the first time he's ever seen him) oh he's so cute! How old is he? Me: 3 months
Working from home today. So far I have gotten almost nothing done.
Off to start laundry, dishes, and figuring out how to wash L's car seat (M's diaper exploded in it, and the car seats were switched because apparently I'm the only one who can tell the difference between the settings).
So you know how I said we might be going to the beach next weekend to stay at my mom's boyfriend's house? Well I met with my dad today for lunch and he was telling me about his girlfriend that he's been seeing for a few months (I have not met either of these people btw). He was explaining to me that he was going to the beach next weekend with her to her parents house to meet her parents..
...at the same beach. Like houses less than 5 minutes away from each other. He knows my mom has a boyfriend but I don't think that he knows that he has a house at that beach. They also haven't really spoken to each other since they divorced expect a friendly hi at the hospital when DS was born. I'm loling hard and praying we don't run into them at the beach. I did not tell him we were going to that exact beach (yet - I might have to though) just said we were heading to the beach. Ugh.

Well that was fun. DD2 was usual dramatic, DD1 decided today she's terrified of shots, and DS is a sympathetic cryer so they were all upset together and I got to be "that" family. I love being "that family". FML. Now naps while I shower in 2.5 minutes. Momming is great.
littleredfish I swear you are a super mom. Just try to remember that when momming is being hard on you! Hopefully every one stays put for their naps so you can get a good shower in.

littleredfish with 2/3 kids getting shots you get a total free pass to be that family. My kids always nap longer when they get shots, I hope that's true for yours too

They are all asleep while I eat cheese with the fridge door open and a towel on my head. Glam.

Just took DS1 for some one on one time. We got ice cream. I was slightly concerned he wasn't my baby because he wanted vanilla, after he finished he went and hugged the cardboard sign of ice cream and told it he loved it. Definitely my kid.

I've been spiraling on the two state of the forum threads. I really hope everyone stays here for many reasons, one ring that I registered at SM and my username was already taken. So I registered as ChandlerBing over there in case we make the move, but I really don't want to lose Monica.
musicallyinclined your DS and I would get along. I regularly want to hug ice cream.
I thought of this quote because of littleredfish but really I think it's appropriate for all of us. I love this quote so much that I have It framed in my kitchen. "The days are long but the years are short." I need to remind myself of his often.
Working is totally putting a crimp in my time on here now so today's rather large thread took me forever to Browse thru and I still barely read it!! Geesh!! I'll be so happy when all this blows over.
I created a SM name and it's the same as here.
I am so very ready for the weekend. Work kicks my butt so by then end of the week I am dragging majorly. It could be the early and late pumping sessions i also do daily. Damn these small capacity breasts.

Ladies. Today kind of broke me.
I had my phone ringer during my daily coffee run. I missed a call from one of the pedis in my group.
The baby has cdiff in her poop and I need to call back ASAP, need to get her into the gastroenterologist asap, etc.
I call back. The nurses on the nurse line keep telling me conflicting things but keep saying GET TO THE HOSPITAL NOW.
DH and I were both home today due to a scheduling coincidence. So I start freaking out and finally had enough sense to tell the nurses I wasn't taking her anywhere until I could get on the phone with a physician because I kept hearing conflicting things, all of which were scary.
So finally the pedi calls back and says there happened to be an opening at the gastroenterologist today, so go to the hospital.
So I had three appointments today. Dropped all of them to go running to the hospital.
After a long examination, the gastroenterologist says that ALL babies have cdiff at this age and the pedis office should have never tested for it. But E does have a severe lactose intolerance which was likely building up for a while, but since DH and I switched her to a different formula with a higher lactose percentage prior to starting her at daycare two weeks ago, that was probably what pushed it over the edge.
So the formula they told me to go running to get yesterday is actually not even sensitive enough. The pedi gastroenterologist gave us like... the most sensitive formula possible and wrote us a script for it since it's $60 per can.
Amid all of this, I've lost my voice from my cold. And I was hacking up a lung at the hospital so badly I was asked to put on a mask.
After we left, I had to go sign the settlement agreement with my old job at my lawyer's office. So I officially no longer work there.
DH is at a Metallica concert tonight with his sister. Thank God MIL watched E for a few hours while I decompressed and worked a bit this afternoon.
I am just so, so drained. I've been dealing with so much all at the same time and I feel like I'm failing at everything. Since I've been sick I've been avoiding touching/holding E, and seeing her so sick and not being able to hold her much actually breaks my heart.
And I'm SUPER pissed at my pedi's office. I think I might actually go shopping for a new one. I've been saying for a WEEK that she was not ok. Her poop was cement grey. They told me I was paranoid. And it turns out she was shitting blood and was effectively allergic to her formula. Fucking assholes.
