Poor J was crying tonight while trying to have a bowel movement. I'm sure it is because we have started supplimenting with formula because of the meds I'm taking. I gave her some prunes after. Guess I need to start giving prunes more. Poor thing.

Hugs. Hope your babe starts feeling better tomorrow!
honeybee434 I know exactly how you feel. On my days off it is a struggle between wanting as much time as possible with DS versus getting things done around the house or relaxing. I feel bad if I am not constantly with him when I'm home. I think this is normal. Don't fault yourself for wanting or needing a break. It's hard work taking care of a baby all day, or any period of time!
I keep getting these weird comments from older moms and I'm wondering if any of you have ideas on how to respond to this sort of thing.... Older mom will come up and say "what a beautiful baby... you must just love her... blah blah blah," normal baby compliment stuff. Then she'll say something like "Just you wait until they start talking, etc. I'd go back to sleepless nights and changing diapers if it meant no back-talking or teenage attitude."
Usually I say something like "well, I sure am enjoying her right now!" I can't counsel the mom who's obviously having a hard time with her kids, because I have no idea what teenagers are like, nor can I chime in with her sentiment, because I don't have any teens and I think it's kind of sad to think so negatively about your kids. What do you all say in response to that sort of comment?
Shit. It's coming. All you can say is "I want to enjoy this phase and cross that bridge when the time comes" or sumdinlikedat.

Did anyone require people who visited your baby to have a tdap? My brother's BIL had a baby and wouldn't let him see the baby because he didn't have a tdap booster. My general rule was just don't be that asshole who comes and sees a newborn when you're sick. I was just wondering if this was a thing.
We werent jerks about it, but we asked that everyone in our immediate family get a tdap. But my sis was pregnant, and my mom was going through chemo, so overall we needed it to protect the entire family.

I've never done that to anyone and never been asked by anyone. It's seems a little overkill to me unless you know that someone is a sick asshole and still comes around.

I just asked immediate family to make sure theirs was current. We didn't make a stink about it with anyone else.
I know another family who wouldn't even take their son out of the house until he was 2 months old. I just...couldnt. I need a little bit of human interaction. Turns out, DD is fine.
I am so tired today. Last night and the night before DD woke up 4 or 5 times for no apparent reason and was so hard to get back to sleep. I might fall asleep at my desk today.

I got my elliptical assembled yesterday. Did 10 minutes on it last night, used my inhaler, and quit. I am out if shape I need to rebuild my stamina and lung capacity. Hoping for 10 more minutes today.
I feel really down sometimes. I did something amazing carrying the twins as long as I did, and nursing them now, but before I got pregnant I had spent a year losing 50lbs (for a total of 75lb lost) and was up to jogging 3 miles 3x a week. I get out of breath going up/down stairs twice now and I'm still 3 sizes bigger than I was pre-pregnancy. I am not eating better, I try then fail. I know it''s going to take time, and baby steps, but dang. I am out of shape!
Today is our first day without Mike home. Spence and I had a nice long nap in our bed, ate zoodles for lunch (me, not him), napped again and now I am sitting here after my shower updating myself on GBCB. Just waiting for Spence to wake up and we may brave a short walk. I think it's only -4 today!!
I'm having conflicted mom issues today. After spending an entire weekend with DD I find myself wishing I could just have an hour or two break. But then Sunday night rolls around and I get really sad that I have to go back to work and can't spend each day with her. And then I feel guilty that I wanted a break when I only get the weekends with her. I think it's hard when on the weekends I want to equally rest from my exhausting work week AND spend every moment I can with DD AND get things done that I only have time to do on my days off. There just isn't enough time in a weekend to fit eveything in. Having a mini working mom meltdown. *sigh*
Right there with you! I am a little anxious that DH is going to be gone for like 6 weeks starting at the end of April and I will have no sort of break, then I feel bad for feeling that way.
DD is being rambunctious lately. She is doing what we are calling "jiggy legs" where she moves them around like a kangaroo when we are carrying her or when she's on her back. She has got all this energy and wants to move - she is going to be everywhere once she figures out crawling.

10 minutes is a start! 10 minutes is more than I did last night! Good job!
I'm headed to the gym tonight after B is down. I haven't seen my trainer in a couple of weeks because he's been traveling with another client he bodyguards for. I know he's going to start making me run now that my foot is healed. I hate running. The hubs tracks his running weekly. He ran 27 miles last week. F that noise. I walked around the block with DS.
