I'm up pumping at 315 like a good little pumper. I'm really over pumping....especially when I have to leave a warm bed to do it.
I left Owen with DH yesterday so I could go out with my girlfriends.....and everyone was still alive and well when I returned. I did text my husband while out to see how things were going once, so not too bad on my part. I didn't realize how hard it would be to leave him!
My brother hurt my feelings last night. I know he's an idiot and I should just get over it but I'm sad.
He came over to meet the baby. The very first thing he said is, "she's not as cute as Lilly (dd1)" wtf? Who says that about a baby to my face? And so what if dd1 was a cuter baby? This baby is still beautiful and perfect and mama bear wanted to rip his face off.
My fire alarm went off, again. But this time downstairs in the kitchen. DH and I went down and nothing. So I'm currently paranoid. Although the fire alarm 4 feet away wasn't going off. Ugh happy 4:30 wake up call!
L was being a fusspot last night so I put him to bed at 830. That was ok except he was up at 130 and 530. If only I put him down at 10 I maybe would have had only one motn feeding.
This night sucked. E only slept for 2.5 hours. We've been up since 2 because he will only sleep if we're holding him. I'm not sure what's wrong. I'm just going to hold him until he's ready to eat again and then H is going to take over. I guess Friday night's 9 hours of sleep was a fluke :/
Snow ruined our plans last night, and now I'm cranky. We were just supposed to go to my sister's house, but I was looking forward to getting out of mine. Now I guess I'll be spending another day cooped up.

By some miracle lo slept 10-3:30, then 4-7:30. It's his best night of sleep! It's probably a fluke but right now I feel like a new woman and I'll take it.
Last night before lo's bath we attempted to do his handprints and footprints since the hospital only gave us a photocopy of his footprints. It was a total fail. Lo did not appreciate it and failed around so all we got are some smudges that maybe resemble his hands and feet. If you squint. From really far away.

I'm finishing feeding LO and then heading to the walk-in clinic. There's a very strong possibility that I have double pink eye. I went to bed last night with my eyes being extra watery and then at the 4:00 feeding they were practically glued shut and super itchy. I'm not a happy camper this morning.
hollydfromtn Hopefully it clears up soon. Sounds annoying. Plus, who wants to take care of a newborn while dealing with pinkeye.
DS2 slept about the same last night, which is to say very little. DS1 slept through the night though, all the way until the designated "ok to play" time. Hopefully this past week's issues were just an anomaly.
I'm taking DS1 to the grocery store this morning. I'm looking forward to it, because it will be quiet me time (assuming baby cooperates and sleeps).

SO finally took a Motn feeding last night and it was amazing! Even though it was only another 1 1/2 before he woke me up! That makes up for his annoyance yesterday!
FI got up with the baby this morning when DS woke up at 5:30a since he didn't want to put DS back to sleep at 3a. Welp, I think he got a taste of just how hard it is to get things done when DS decides it's time to get up for the day!
LO slept 4 hours, then 3, and is now going on 2 hours and counting. The MOTN sucks, but I feel rested this morning.
And cloth diapering is so much easier than I was expecting. We are going on day 3. We could use a few more inserts/diapers, but we might just wait it out and see if he starts going less.

I'm basically a single mom right now. DH being gone 5:30-5:30 during the work week and doing work on the side in the weekends and in the evening he's out working on my truck since the engine decided it was going to lock up and need a new motor Thursday. It's me and 3 kids. I feel like I'm better off taking on the world.

Well I thought I quit my job, but they asked me yesterday if I could work 1 Saturday a month for that random day that they might be short handed. I suppose I can do that. Plus, now I can keep my discount.
We're out of town and DH just told me if I wanted to, I could take Aylah to the local baby consignment store and do some shopping before we meet up with him later. Um, ok! So we're going to do some shopping, then meet DH at a food/wine/beer festival
We went to church and now on the way to the circus!
DS2 has this way of going from zero to screaming his head off when he's hungry, and he did that in the church service today. So that was interesting, but luckily they have a nursing room where you can still see and hear the service.
DH apologized for being rude Friday night. I just cannot make myself pump in the MOTN even though my LC said I should pump after every feeding to boost my supply. So I wake up to BF, but then the bed wins over the pump every time.

Ok. DH is getting DS ready to go to the store. They're in the kitchen, DH has put on "Uptown Funk" (DS's favourite song). DS is dancing and singing in some crazy growly voice (WTF?) and is buck naked. Boys.
And cloth diapering is so much easier than I was expecting. We are going on day 3. We could use a few more inserts/diapers, but we might just wait it out and see if he starts going less.
We're away for the weekend and just had to go out to get another box of disposables. We came with an almost full box of diapers (100 in a full box, I think), and we're down to the last few... he's peed so freaking much that it's almost unbelievable. We were certain we had more than enough when we left to com here. I miss my cloth diapers and the money I just had to spend on another box of disposables. Waaaaah! Luckily, we're supposed to be home tomorrow night and can get back to using the cloths. Not a thought I ever thought would cross my mind.
So how did Jesus decide to thank me for attending mass every week in terrible weather and donating toys to a less fortunate family? He makes me slip on an ice patch and fall... into a pile of dog shit.
hollydfromtn, and ShuShuBee, i hope you feel better soon! megan81112, sorry that really sucks! We were supposed to go to sea world today but I'm pretty certain I have c. Diff and dh threw out his back so he cannot drive me to the lab. Meanwhile there is an angry storm in my stomach. I just wish I could shut my eyes and make it tomorrow, but I have the feeling it's going to be a long day.

Back to work today and my heart is breaking in so many pieces. I would give anything to stay home.
I am sorry. I have a month left but I am already getting emotional about it. I just don't know how I am going to do this. I hope it gets better for you quickly.
