Dd has napped about a total of 45 minutes today and last night maybe a total of 8 hours. It's driving me nutty. Maybe she will sttn tonight? Hahaha yeah right.
Tonight we went to a benefit for a friends husband who is undergoing chemo for stage 3 testicular cancer. He's been through so much and tomorrow starts a sort of last chance high dose chemo/ bone marrow transplant. It's amazing to me that he's at peace with everything. I can't imagine what his wife is feeling. They will be separated for 16 weeks so she can care for their 1 year old. So scary.
anotherdreamer, it's totally my fault. He wasn't playing on the stairs or being wild. I had the lights off while trying to get the baby back to sleep. He woke up early and came looking for me, I couldn't get the lights on fast enough and he fell. He is doing good, playing with his mommy guilt new toys. He has a loss of appetite but I guess that's a normal side effect for ketamine.
Don't be hard on yourself, these things happen. I'm really glad he's doing well.

Zantac and the Nose Frida were WAY easier when DD wasn't strong enough to push them away from her face, grab them, and throw all her weight against having them anywhere near her face.
I finally updated my Goodreads list and can't believe how many books I own that I haven't read, I should probably stop buying books for a while, DH will be happy about that.
I am so bad about this too, especially with the Kindle where they don't take up any space!

I know!! DD has never liked the Nose Frida and now I have to wrestle her still to use it. Argh!

We have to tag team when we use the Nose Frida, one holds him and the other one sucks. Feels like we're abusing him because he screams bloody murder when we do it.

I stopped pumping and nursing 3+ weeks ago. When I squeeze my boobs on very rare occasions, milk still drops out. Anybody know when this will actually end??

Not sure if this would help with Zantac honeybee434 but my Pedi Nurse told me that if you ever have trouble getting baby to swallow liquid meds, gently blow in their mouths - it makes them swallow instinctively.
My son is a freakshow who actually likes the grape Tylenol, but I'm sure I'll need that tip at some point.
I don't think I would get any in her if I didn't blow in her face, sadly. I have a problem getting it in her mouth, now.....she likes to grab the syringe and push it away, or she clamps here gums down so I have to pry them open, or turns her head back and forth while trying to push my hands back away. And my little 18 pounder is STRONG!

I stopped pumping my 3 year old at 8 months. It never stopped oozing between pregnancies
Anyone's LO drastically decrease milk consumption since starting solids? It could be her constant head cold making sucking uncomfortable, but it seems more like a lack of hunger.
I've always been of the belief that food before 1 is learning/play, so now I'm over thinking this.
A lady that I know is throwing a huge Jack and Jill baby shower bash. Her son is the father of the baby. The girl that is having the baby has two kids already with a previous bf. 55 people invited. Rented hall. Catered. Games. Cake. The reason? It's her son's first baby. Oh, and they don't have any baby stuff. Or money. I know I've said before that I don't have strong feelings either way about people and their showers but come on. Side eyeing so hard I can't see straight.
Mamanorris - how is your LO doing today? Falls are so scary. I was wreck for about a week after DS1 log-rolled down our staircase. I hope your little boy has fully recovered.
@litera that is awesome! I wish I had supply plenty enough to even make a freezer stash :-:
It was 75 here today and we opened the windows. My dog literally stared over the back of the chair out the window and huffed at the construction workers all afternoon. He's nuts I think.
This couch looks like it would make marvelous naps!

I'm side eyeing and talking shit right along with you. That's absurd!

We have hardwood/tile throughout and I keep them contained to the first floor during the day. They are both males so they lift their leg if they have an accident. It makes me insane but I love the little shits. H wants a big dog too but I can't bring another dog in to pick up any bad habits. I used to have a dog that went sledding with us in the winter. He was the best!
Our husbands must be talking. Mine wants a big dog too but the thought of three dogs is scary.
Three dogs isn't so bad. I have a beagle, border collie and a boxer. The only bad part is all the dog hair. Dd and my boxer are best friends. My beagle is an old man and doesn't wanna go outside when it is cold. He goes in the living room which sucks because we have dark carpet and it's hard to see until you step in it. We now have to change the floors once LO is crawling. I love him but he is a asshole
Just donated 75oz of my freezer stash to a mama on my local FB board. She has a teeny weeny 2 month old baby grrl that is.....teeny weeny and just so gorgeous. The chick has to have some kind of 3 day hospital stay/procedure and was really upset she couldn't pump enough to cover her stay.
I say this not for props, but to strongly encourage you guys to part with what you can locally, milk wise. I was the only woman in a group of 3k that would help her, that seems despicable. It's the worst flu epidemic where I'm at and it feels amazeballs to get to feed her wee one.
My ute is twitching. I WANT MOAR BABIES.
I was going to do this but when I started getting into my stash it tasted metallic. Not all bags but I have no idea how to tell which ones are alright

@litera how did you find the group you donated through? I have been trying since before Christmas to donate, but every group i have found wants bloodwork done. I work full time and just do not have the time for extra doctor's appointments, but i have around 200oz of milk that i do not want to waste!

My local Le leche league has an FB group where moms in need have made some requests.

. He is doing great! Thanks for asking. I did find ring worm on his back this morning so that was fun. We can't catch a freaking break around here!
I just left a message at the hospital to see if they can take my freezer stash or if they know who can before it expires. Thank you @litera, I'm glad it won't go to waste. I honestly didn't think about donating it and hope someone can use it!
If they won't take it due to pasteurization check your local human milk for human babies FB page. That's where I donated mine
