Sunday Funday Gimme the Randoms

[pleirey]

Give up the goods!

[pleirey]

I need coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.

[luckypenny]

We are going to my mom's house today so dd1 can ride her pony. (My mom has a small hobby farm.)

[lilouboo2]

Looks like I got the flu, thanks for nothing extremely painful flu shot.

At least DH got up for motn feeding, his first one!
Here's to hoping LO is in a napping mood today.

[raven]

3:30 am right now. I'm pumping. Not my usual time, but I got tipsy last night off of two glasses of wine and had to give LO a bottle, much to her dismay.
My apt keeps making weird noises right now. I'm not quite sure what to think. I joke with DH about a ghost in the apt because he doesn't believe in them, but I do. Now I'm starting to wonder if we really do have one. Creepy.

[ashlantic]

lilouboo2 hope you feel better soon!

raven I know what you mean! It's super creepy when both lo and the cat are staring at the same spot on the wall at 2 am... and there's nothing there.

Me too. So. Need. It

lilouboo2, I hope you feel better soon. It sucks that the shot isn't as effective this year, and it really sucks ass even more when you get the shot and the flu the same season :/

I've started to just take LO to burp him after FI gives him a bottle... FI will bounce him/pat his back for 2, maybe 3, minutes then claim he doesn't want to burp. No, that's not how this works. You need to keep bouncing/patting/rotating his top half until he burps. He'll burp; he always burps. It might take 10 minutes, but he'll burp. Not only will he burp, he'll let out a stinky stale formula smelling belch and get the hiccups. Once THAT happens, then he's done. Get with the program, already!

Gah, when does this kid learn to burp on his own again?

[pleirey]

lilouboo2 - I hope you feel better soon! I had the shot this season and got the flu at 7 months pregnant. If it's the same strain I got, I definitely hope you get over it quick! My lungs had crap in them for weeks after.

Gotta love the stale formula burps, @happywigglecmb! And the farts of formula fed babies are almost as bad as the protein powder farts from gym rats. I was a gym rat for a while in my early 20s so I know how bad that smells...ugh!

[shehulk723]

It's currently 7:41am here, baby girl just now fell asleep, she'd been up since 2am... And now it's time to make breakfast and get ready for church. So much for sleep.

[megpie5]

DH and I attempted to DTD for the first time last night...unfortunately we were not successful Foreplay was great, but the rest was very uncomfortable. Definitely had flashbacks of the first time we did it 15 years ago lol.

[laceysbryan]

LO slept through the night, which was awesome. My breast pads didn't fall out or move around, so I didn't wake up soaking wet, which was also awesome.

But then as I'm feeding LO on the right side I start to feel really wet. I thought he had leaked pee on me, but then I realized it was my left boob gettin all crazy. I soaked my breast pad through the night so when my left boob got jealous and let down when he started feeding I was SOL.

[grumpycat88]

Super annoyed at DH. He spent all day yesterday doing his beer stuff. So I didn't feel bad having him do all the motn stuff (the dictator is up twice). Then he yelled at me this morning to get up to take care of the baby. One, you are capable of having a conversation without yelling. Two, I've never ever been a morning or motn person. HE KNEW THIS WHEN HE MARRIED ME. We have had multiple conversations about the motn stuff and I thought we had an understanding. I guess I was wrong. So now I'm pumping and mad at him for yelling at me.

[lasawyer91]

I'm mad at DH too. I have a baby brezza formula maker. We clean it every time it is ready for a refill of powder. DH cleaned it last. I guess he did not let it dry completely before putting it back together. So as I used it formula powder hardened inside the dispenser. Yesterday I noticed that it was only shooting out water, no formula. My poor lo hasn't been having the right mix since he cleaned it out and DH doesn't understand why that's a bad thing....

[funinthenorth]

Storm day.

Blahhhhh

This summer better be awesome because last summer sucked for me. I was roasting ALL the time while pg. and this winter was a douzy - Summer better be fantastic.

[maebb]

Sorry to those of you whose H's are being douchey.

We had Mickey Mouse pancakes and might skip church because both boys are snotty and coughing.

I am going to start Isagenix this week (just the shakes + normal dinner and snacks because breastfeeding). Has anyone done it? It seems kind of effective but kind of scammish but seems like better ingredients than Advocare or some of those other things. But you're not supposed to have coffee - WHAT?

[nachomomma]

I think I'm joining the bed sharers for good. I got more sleep last night than the rest of the week combined.
Also, baby acne has arrived. Poor little pimple face.

[tomorrowisanotherday]

Weirdest thing... I had tons of family over last night that could take care of LO and give me a break. I had pumped bottles ready so that I could drink. But I mostly ended up hanging out with whoever had the baby and I still put him to bed. I don't know if I was jealous or nervous or what, but I guess I don't know how to have a good time when LO is around. Anyone else feel like they can't get out of mommy mode?

[funinthenorth]

maebb - I haven't done it but lots of friends have. I think they still had coffee and used agave nectar instead of sugar...or maybe they all just cheat : )

tomorrowisanotherday - YES! This happened on Thursday. Family function and everyone had lo, at the end of the day I was really feeling like I was missing holding him all day.

lol - today's like is "ass pats"

[pleirey]

Is 10 weeks old too young for an activity saucer? Because I may have bought a Baby Einstein activity saucer at approximately 5am before the coffee kicked in...and now 5 hours later I'm realizing she may not even be ready to use it yet. :-) Ooops

Edit: Spelling is hard.

[stephchris0321]

My stupid alarm went off at 6:10 am! I'm beyond annoyed because it shouldn't be set for a Sunday morning! Blah, now I'm awake.

How do you like it? We had one but returned it unused when we discovered he'll take it right from the fridge. We ended up getting the formula pitcher which is amazing

[babyw15]

I will join in the annoyed with DH group.  I am working today ( I am required to work at least half of the weekend days a month) and N is home with the LO.  He knew this is how it was going to be when were got pregnant.  Now he is all whiny because he can't go do anything.  I told him you knew this was how it was going to be, I am sorry we have a family now and we can't always go out and do fun stuff.  So he is being all pouty about it.  Get over it!!! You are a dad now!!!!  What does he think I do on my days off?  I surely don't go get my nails done ( haven't had a pedicure since November) and I don't get my hair done ( haven't had that done since before we got pregnant)... OK I feel a bit better now!!

I am looking forward to dinner tonight, my mom is cooking corned beef and cabbage, so we are going to her house after I am done with work!

Other than this most recent problem we love it! My lo won't drink it cold so the maker is nice because it keeps the water at a constant warm temp. It makes bottles in like 15 seconds which is amazing for motn feeding

[BabyStandish]

Gah! Why can't I go #2. I was supposed to run 8 miles and only made it to 5 due to my stomach and now I'm home and can't go! Argh!

I pump the other side for the first feeding after sttn so that doesn't happen! Not to mention relieving the pain.

I bought a used one a few weeks ago and LO is just 10 weeks today. He hasn't used it yet but it was a good deal and I know he will soon.

[littlelion]

Laying in bed with lo nursing as I "tap" & he sneezes. I look down when I don't feel him cont to nurse thinking he maybe fell asleep. Nope. He sneezed a huge, monstrous, green, wet booger that shot out his nose hit me at the top of my boob (quite a feat) and was still attached to his nose. Luckily had a burp cloth under him and used that to clean us up.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Little girl has caught the nasty cold her daddy had all last week. She's all stuffy & coughing/gagging. Poor baby.

Guess I'll be spending the day cuddling & sucking out boogies.
