Last night into this morning Alina was super fussy and upset. Last feed and this one she started projectile spitting up all over DH and me then crying uncontrollably. I know spitting up is normal for a baby, but this was a first for her at 3 weeks so we've been the worried first time parents and taking her in shifts for the past few hours to calm her/hold her while she sleeps. Poor baby girl.

We had our first vomiting incident last night at 3 weeks too. He wasn't really nursing well so I gave him an expressed milk bottle. My husband put him in the pack n play to sleep and 20 seconds later he had spit up what looked like to be an ounce. I was terrified. We had a pretty stimulating day with our first outing and his first bath so I'm hoping it was just a fluke. Like you we checked on him all night and he seemed fine and kept the milk from breastfeeding directly down.
Rough night last night. DS was propped up for the night for his head and he HATED it.
Then from 1 to 4:30 he cried into my ears and pulled my hair out. Poor kid. I am taking him to my work today to visit with everyone. I hope he sleeps so I don't have to take him out of his car seat. But first, I am going to keep laying on the couch and watch Rehab Addict until DH gets back home with my giant starbucks.

I'm hopping in the shower right now because we have Brady's two week check up at 10:30. I forgot how hard it is to get ready and out the door with an infant.
DD slept really good last night, but thanks to a headache (which I STILL have) I slept like crap. Motrin did nothing, so at 4am I gave up and took one of my percosets leftover from my c-section. It took the edge off and made me super drowsy so I could sleep. At least DH slept good last night, so I know I'll be able to go to bed early.
I feel like this is payback for all the good nights of sleep I've had so far, lol.
I was a total zombie yesterday after LO decided not to sleep until 1, got up ever 2 hours and didn't want to go back to sleep. Last night was a whole lot better and a I feel like a normal person again. I'm trying to get my supply up so we can keep a bottle in the fridge. I had been doign that a few weeks ago and then stopped...silly Flyster.
The last MOTN feeding was super rough - but because of me not Gabriel. I fell asleep without taking my evening dose of Rx Motrin and by the time we were halfway through the feeding I couldn't even sit down anymore. DH rescued me with an ice pack, a pain pill, and taking the baby for a bit til that all kicked in. We were all so exhausted after the ordeal we (LO included) slept more than 4 hours.
Happily sitting nursing now while DH is still in bed. Thank goodness he took this week off work.
Last night was not a great sleep night for us after a rough day - LO was just a fussbucket all day and I have now effectively been up since 4:45
All this after my asshole dog ate two dirty diapers-I ordered a trash can for the nursery but it hasn't come yet THEN to top off the day our washing machine broke and is currently full of water and towels. I should have stayed in bed yesterday!!
MIL and I are going to the outlets today so I can go to carters outlet and gap outlet-hopefully this tires LO out!!

Too many good wishes to reply individually i hope sll headaches, fussy LOs, pains and whatnots get sorted!
My big fat greek family in law are visiting. I live haig them here and the extra hands but the language barrier is really difficult. Explaining with hands and feet why i dont let LO sleep with loose blankets, or on his side... And that i prefer him to have a big sleep in his bed in the afternoon... Etc etc... Is very difficult. Not to mention the old wives' tales and outdated rules that they follow. They're one step away from windexing my child!
On the very bright side it looks like we are rid of thrush! Huzzah! So happy about that

mrszee ugh we had those kind of problems the day we brought him home washing machine & dishwasher were fd up , basement flooded, dog sht and peed on his carpet . HOLY stress! Good luck
Last night I came up with a morning plan to get up around 5-5:30 to exercise, eat, take a shower and feed/pump before H left since she doesn't have like being set down during the day and that is a lot of crying on the mornings. Guess who starts fussing at 5am so I can't do any of it? Blah.
DS was not circumcised when he was born so we just left his out patient procedure. I have never heard him scream like he was. I felt so bad. I have a feeling the next few days are going to be rough.
After the initial scream our LO didn't seem to notice at all. We had a routine the Mohel gave us, with putting on a dressing for a few days.
Editing to add, his bris was pretty rough on my. My uncle is a photographer and took pictures during it, so I have a "wonderful" high res photo of my self 8 days PP bawling in my mom's arms with my hands on my ears. It still makes me tear up when I look at it.
DH started work and his new branch this morning and cable was installed yesterday. So DS and I are getting caught up on our shows. We'll I'm watching he's napping I think he's finally adjusted to the new house so hopefully I can get him back on a schedule. *fingers crossed*
Hi all! Out and about shopping at the Outlets. I will need to NIP for the first time. I'm hoping Destination Maternity will let me nurse in their fitting room!
My brain hurts. I am trying to figure out if purchasing 216 size 1 diapers is a good idea. How long will she be in each size? Ahh I don't know.
I got 272 at Costco this week for $30 two packages. They say up to 15 lbs so i probably overdid it as My guess is that LO is over 11 lbs and we do some cloth.
DD was on 4 (I think) meds when she was 6 months. I can't remember how many of them were for reflux.
Ds1 was.
Eta: my spam is that I am taking ds2 to the office to meet my coworkers. Not super excited about getting sucked in to work stuff and I know it will happen, but I am looking forward to seeing them.

I'm waiting for dd to wake up and nurse. After that I want to get outside for a walk, it's beautiful out today!
I washed all the inside windows this morning, now if I could only wash the outside as well because they're filthy! I miss the tilt in windows from our old house.
I'm with all of you guys that didn't sleep well. Anna is going through something. Last night she started screaming way before her normal 4 hr interval. I thought my DH didn't feed her during his shift. She's been screaming earlier for food today too (and we just upped her formula amnt a couple days ago too...). Not a usual hungry cry either. A sweating, getting red, angry cry. I'm starting to call her "Angry Anna".
