Dropped my fussy baby off with husband in the living room around 330 am cause I desperately need some sleep tonight. We usually bedshare, but for some reason LO was cranky and didn't seem to want to nurse. I assumed he'd make her a bottle of bm when she was ready, but nope! My baby was returned to me about 15 minutes later.."I think she's hungry." Perfect, thanks. Why do I feel guilty when I try to skip nursing sessions?! I'm taking her right back when she's done!

Holy heck!  We must be married to the same man.  This happens all. The.  Time!  *except the bottle part,  since we've recently introduced that. *
I'll nurse Liam and take him out.  I'll barely close my eyes,  and he's handing him back.  "Babe,  he's hungry. " no he's not!  He just ate!  Give him his binky!  Gah!  
Any on set of "fussy" it's automatically he's hungry in his book.

Glad I'm not the only one with a douchey husband. Head on over to the "vent" Thread to read mine.

L's face is dry and peeling. I was going to wait and not put anything on it bc the ped said that it was normal and to let it clear up on its own. Are you ladies using any lotions or waiting it out?

I'm waiting it out.  
Buuuut, 2 days ago I gave him a bath and put coconut oil on his body.  Whatever was left on my hand I put some on his forehead *where the dry skin is mostly*. 
Your really not supposed to put anything on their face,  because it can get into their eyes. 
Anyway,  that's my confession.

DS2 just slept through a diaper change. He's still sleeping. Why doesn't he sleep at night?! I guess I'll sleep and nurse him when he wakes up.

[littleb92]

LaBellaVida thanks! I know I should wait but I feel so bad.

[grumpycat88]

A bit of an AW but I've been pumping for 8 weeks! I really didn't think that I would make it to one month let alone two

It's a nice day today. I believe I will take LO for a walk. I winery if I can convince DH to go as well. Perhaps a small guilt trip is in order to make this happen.
Yesterday, there was a nurse-in at a goodwill store nearby. The cashier made rude comments on twitter about a mother breastfeeding while waiting in line. I wish I had known about the nurse-in, I would have participated.

Well, my house was clean. Until I got ahead of myself and put lunch in the oven and supper in the crock pot. I don't even think a tornado can cause this much damage never ending cycle

Please tell me you have left overs I'll come over!! Sounds delish!!!! My self control ends at the grocery store. If H doesn't come with its all junk food not meals.

If I tell you how amazing you are will that make up for me eating them all?? Lol

My H doesn't help me control shit at the store. If anything he's a huge enabler. I try to be good but if I leave him alone with the cart for too long there's no telling how much junk will magically appear! He's like a little kid about it too. He will put stuff in and act like I have three heads when I ask him about it.

[heidih21]

ahayden1230 his 1 hour nap was in my arms too! We made it back to bed this morning a little after 6 and he's still sleeping now and it's almost 10. So I know he was very tired and is catching up on missed sleep. We will see how today goes

That is awesome! I'm on 4 weeks now and I cannot tell you how many times I have wanted to quit! It consumes your life!

[laceysbryan]

Well, DH and I are staying at my parents' another night because the road conditions on the way home are supposed to worsen throughout the day.

I'm excited because my parents have a hot tub, I get to drink with my mom (DH hasn't been drinking for a year and a half now and it's less fun to drink alone), and there are other people who can and want to watch LO while I shower and fix my hair. Woohoo!

Mason's got so bad his face was bright red and little yellow crusties were on his skin. I took him in for it and they said to use hydrocortisone on his whole face. 3 days later it was all cleared up. I now use aveeno fragrance free on his face every so often so his doesn't get so bad.
If it's just a little flaky I would wait but if it keeps getting worse I'd take him in.
His doctor said his skin was really inflamed which made me feel horrible because I let it get that bad because everyone said dry skin is normal and to leave it.

Yes, that will make up for it! Ahaha! My H is bad but he yells at me because I yell at him. Unless I'm on my period (tmi?) there are I sweets in the house unless it's from a holiday and the kids got it from someone else. I grew up a swimmer and rarely ate anything with sugar in the first 3 ingredients so it's just something I'm used to not having around.

Add me to this list as well. He always hands her back saying "she must be hungry. She's doing get hungry cry." She's not hungry, she just ate. Both sides even! Most of the time, she's just tired and fighting sleep.

I was a swimmer in high school and my mom was very health conscious so not much junk food in the house growing up. The first groceries I bought when I moved out were a huge tub of ice cream, chocolate chip cookies and an ice cream cake lol

LO's was pretty bad around the four week mark. You can use a washcloth to help slough off the dead skin. We used The Honest Company's healing balm on her yellow/oozy patches. Cleared up after three uses (every other day for a week).

Mostly it's flakey. Scrubbed with a wash cloth and it looks better. I guess until it gets worse I'll keep doing that. At least the baby acne is fading...poor boy.

This week is finally over. It was torture! My poor kids routine has been thrown off since we've been up and down making arrangements for the funeral services but it's over. I barely noticed how much he grew this week and feel so bad! I've also been indulging in Pepsi a lot. More than wine. There's something so satisfying about a cold iced cup of soda that I rarely have. I'm pretty sure my blood has turned into Pepsi at this point.

The roads are slick with ice so I had to skip my long run today. I did go to the gym though. I'm hoping to be able to get out there tomorrow.

Yeah autocorrect is evil and can read my mind.

I just got pooped on and spit up on at the same time...

Lo was so incredibly fussy last night but is an angel today. Too bad I'm grumpy from only getting 3 hours of sleep if that. It warranted a Starbucks run earlier, I proudly baby wore while ordering my latte. F that guy who slandered mom's for bringing their kids to Starbucks, momma needs some quality coffee!!
