I am so exhausted since last week. POJ had surgery on Friday for bilateral inguinal hernia repair. He was super fussy which was expected. I break into happy dance on monday when his appetite return with full force only to be fussy again from yesterday morning. Didn't appear to be in pain from surgery. DH and I were taking turns to hold him because he would not sleep. I can't believe at 2 month with 1 month adjusted age, he barely sleeps 3 hrs stretch at night and 2hr during the day unless being held. I don't know when things will start falling into place.
We've entered the first leap (wonder weeks). I found them to be very accurate with DS1, and I'm curious to see how it goes for this little dude. Anybody else following the wonder weeks? What do you think?
I feel like I should know this but I don't. What are wonder weeks?

I don't know, though. I remember following them with DD1 and I felt like she was always going through either a wonder week, a growth spurt, or a regression. At first it made me feel better to have an explanation for her craziness, but then it just got frustrating because nothing ever went exactly according to what the books said. This time around I'm trying to just go with the flow, which is a little bit easier now because I know that no matter how challenging this is, it doesn't last forever.

Also, it'll be Liam's first time taking a bottle. We haven't practiced... so this will be interesting. My H doesn't think it'll be a problem since he takes a binky just fine.
I'll be putting my phone on silent, just in case. I don't want to be interrupted, and it ruin my time of my H calls.
Little guy pretty much wants to nurse and be held all day which makes it hard to do anything. I guess I shouldn't complain too much though since he sleeps so well at night. He is just a lot more demanding during the day than my daughter was.
I am ridiculously excited to get my hair cut and colored tomorrow! It has been so long!!
I am starting to get nervous because my maternity leave is dwindling down, this is going to be hard, I can tell.
I'm really starting to think I'm the only one really looking forward to going back to work. Like, to the point that I'm counting down the days until I go back because I'm looking forward to getting out of the house 10+ hours each day...
DH found out that he can get us free circus tickets. Yay!
Two things - I heard that the animals are not treated well in the circus, and that makes me sad, but I do think it would be fun to go, and DS1 will love it. DH said we should leave DS2 with my SIL, but I don't want to leave him. Am I crazy for wanting to take him? It's either him or the breast pump, and I think he'll probably be fine in the baby carrier.

I looked forward to it. Also being able to drink coffee while it's still hot and poop without being disturbed. It kind of makes me wonder if I'm a bad mom because I would not enjoy being a SAHM, but I just am a happier, more well-balanced person if I'm able to work outside the home, so I think it's a good choice for our family.

I'm regretting my decision to be a SAHM now. I think I'd really enjoy the break. (My job was super easy. ) But hopefully a few months from now I'll love staying home. I think it'll just take an adjustment.

I did look fwd to it. Until I got a big dose of reality. Being a working mom is hard. I'm tired. And my coffee is still cold. It's only my 1st wk back hope its a learning curve and that it gets better.

Just breastfed Em while walking through the grocery store because you know, it's the south and snowmaggedon is coming so everyone is ravaging the shelves.
Doesn't even do it justice. The checkout lines were halfway through the store.

You aren't the only one. I was super pumped. My job is one of my passions so not doing anything in the field was killing me. Today was the first day that I felt sad leaving the dictator. DH was burping him (which he haaaaaates) and he had the saddest look on his little face.
LO has been sounding like a pig in the morning, so we decided to go buy a humidifier. Went to BRU and just picked a simple one out. Apparently, it was on massive clearance and I only paid 0.04. Yes, four cents. DH suggested we get the hell out of there. I couldn't be happier!

I'm excited I miss making money. I would love to be a SAHM but I'm the main provider in the family so it wouldn't work out that way.

5 full, consecutive feeding sessions without the shield! Fx we can make it through the MOTN feedings too. We may be done with it all together. I'm still planning on seeing an LC to discuss latch and positioning but I would so love to be done with the shields.

I'm excited to go back too. I love my job but know the transition back will be rough. Just need L to sleep more at night.
