I'm trying to decide if I want to attempt to bring LO to church (I usually go to early mass so it's few people & a shorter service, tho close to an hour since it's Lent) or show up when the service should be ending just so everyone can see I'm okay and he can get blessed. I totally spaced on calling our pastor while in the hospital and anytime since.
I've only been attending this church on and off for a couple years, and since I go to early mass it's basically me and the senior citizen crowd, so it's not like I have church friends who are coming over.
Well, LO decided NOT to go back to bed after her 7 AM bottle That does not usually happen. I brought her downstairs, made my coffee and breakfast, and as soon as I finished drinking the coffee she passes out. Now that the caffeine is in my system. Of course!
Working on a paper for school (gross) and then have to get ready to go to church (not my cup of tea but the things we do for love, right?) with my husbands entire family for his Grandma's mass, followed by a large family lunch (which will last for hours I am sure) at a restaurant. The 3 year old that tried to hit my baby will be there, so she better stay back! Just because Jesus is watching doesn't mean I won't lose my shit if you hit my baby!!
LO had been up every 2ish hours to eat this night. I know that's typical for bf babies, but he usually goes every 4 hours during the day, and was going every 4 hours at night for a few days this week.
He actually acts like he's starving so his hands are grabbing at my nipples and being in the way causing me to leak everywhere. I finally had to swaddle him so his hands were out of the way.
2nd night in a row we got LO to bed at a decent hour! And he slept after his 6 am feeding.
He sounds really sniffly thoguh. We tried the nose bulbs but can't see anything to pull out and the are still to big for him. What else can I try? He is 5 weeks+ and hasn't sound this way before
cougarette love tits for sympathy DD loves to get her hands in the way and claw at me while I am squirting her in the face. It's a great late night experience. Not.
My ears have been super itchy when I put my earrings in since DD was born. I used to have a mild sensitivity to not gold metals but haven't had an issue in years. Weird. It isn't just the same set/ same metal post either.

DD sounded really sniffly for a period there as well. She didn't seem to have any issue breathing so I left it alone. Maybe thay is the wrong way to handle it I don't know. I think it was partly caused by spitting up through the nose so I keep her more upright after feedings and the sniffles have mostly gone away.

We're packing up the kids and going to the ILs today so fil can meet dd. I'm kind of irritated that we have to go to them.
Apparently since dd doesn't share a name with him (DS is named after fil), its not important to meet her. He couldn't get to the hospital fast enough to meet DS!

dh was researching and we think it is spit up related it just sounds so sad. I can't tell if it's bothering him but he did cough a bit last night too its sounded like mucus in throte kindof cough

Good morning! Glad a lot of you had good sleepers! I can't wait for ds to figure that out. Ds is awake and wants to suck but my boobs hurt too much from feeding him all night to be a pacifier. An actual pacifier only lasts a few seconds before he spits it out and freaks out looking for it. My arms are tired from holding it for him

mels823 I can sympathize. DD did the same thing here this morning. Figures it's on the day we're attempting to simulate a trial run all day today so I could see what it'll be like to care for this newborn on my own before DH goes back to work on Wednesday. (I'm afraid of possible anxiety attacks since we've been sharing the load up til this point, so I suggested this as a sort of guided practice for myself.) This mom stuff is hard lol

Dd slept from 11-4:30. But was up til 6:30. But at least she's sleeping now so I could shower, pump and put away laundry.
My parents are coming over today for lunch and just to hang with dd and is, but really her. We all know this.
I have 1 week and a day of leave left. I think monday we are going to visit my office. And then another day my mom wants to take us to the outlet. She wants to buy stuff for little bit, I am sure but I won't pass up the trip. The rest of the time I want to spend soaking up as much little miss time as I can.
Sleep could have been better but DH took DS after his 7 am feeding so I could sleep more. Now he's taking the lead today changing diapers etc. so I can relax on the couch. God I love that man.

Ugh. The thought of some of you going back to work seriously makes me so sad. I have 5 weeks left and it always just looms in the background. TL DR - daycare decided not to take part time kids. Then told me all the details and decided we can make it work. I'm meeting with her today to finalize plans. We had a daycare drama day on Friday. I got there and our provider informed me that she would no longer be taking part time kids starting in 4 weeks. Ummmm WHAT??? Cue major freak out. That's why we picked her! She said of course to part time. Now come to find out the reason behind this is that DS comes right in the middle of nap time. She said it disrupts flow and is her only break in the day. I kind of side eye that but i also don't do what she does so ok. Finally after talking a bit more she said if DS, and DD when it's time, can come at 12 and nap during nap time she will continue taking him. She just needs our schedule to fit with hers. Right now he naps in the mornings cause it's what works with our schedule. So we've decided to change what's working for us because i don't see finding a new daycare as a good option. We've already built up that trust with her and i don't think starting over is a good idea. I'm meeting with her this afternoon to finalize all the plans and make sure that she really means this and won't change her mind again in a couple months. What a load of crap to have to deal with. Thankfully i am more mentally healthy Right now than i was after i had DS. I'm just passing that it all works out.
@holachica, I was putting earth mama nipple butter on the part that goes on your boob (lack of sleep means I can't remember the name...) to help seal the suction and prevent friction between my skin and the pump. It seemed to work well and I didn't have pain.

Unrefined coconut oil or even olive oil is what was recommended to me. I use it occasionally.
Going crazy today. MIL is here AGAIN and she just told me she has the month of April off. There is no way in hell I'm spending the last weeks of my leave with her at my house. ??

Ugh that really stinks. Sounds like it is time to sick H on her.

Ugh sounds awful. Mine just left but they are coming back Friday. Oh and they might be moving back to the area soon. I have to tell myself the free babysitting outweighs the annoyances.
