How's the beginning of the week?

[misshart00]

We put DS to bed at 8:30. It's currently 7:15 and I'm pumping staring at the monitor waiting on him to wake up.

[misshart00]

Oh good. He just wiggled. So I feel better about not going to check on him.

[miniwheat]

DS only woke to eat once last night. So that was nice. Today is finally supposed to be above freezing, only 4 degrees, but I hope I can get outside with the kiddos.

Has anyone had to have a root canal redone?
I have been struggling with a terrible toothache in a tooth I had to have a root canal in and its looking like I will need to have it redone. I am on antibiotics and pain medication. Its day 4 of the medicine and zero relief. I am scared. Anything wrong with teeth gives me the creeps.

[flyster]

Didn't get to test drive cars yesterday as was the plan because dh tried to fix our shower drain. Which of course has turned into a huge ordeal because the pipe was crazy corroded and broke off. So he's been to home depot twice yesterday and is there right now. He thinks he is almost done. Sigh. Really hoping to get to the car place today.

[boxerrrmama85]

Yeah for sleep misshart00 and miniwheat. Sorry for the plumbing issue flyster. Hopefully it will be fixed soon and you will be in a new car!

Charlotte slept amazingly again last night. We had a fantastic day at my husband's rugby match and I was able to socialize with other mommies! And just dropping this here-- but for me, sex post baby is really much better and more exciting than before!

LO had been on a poop strike for 3 days-- and had some hefty poops yesterday, but this morning!!!! OH EM GEEEE! We had to toss her in the tub because there was poop EVERYWHERE!!!

[mmarie]

Well my mom has been here since my appt earlier this week and she is leaving today. I have been so spoiled. I've been sleeping through the night, except my 3am pump session. The last 2 nights she has had major diaper blows. I'm not ready for overnight duty again..

DD still has 2 MOTN feeds, but really can't complain bc she's very chill otherwise. We have a big day planned (neighborhood Easter Egg hunt, surprise party for friend) and already exhausted this morning. My dad came to pick up DS and took him to Palm Sunday service.

The surprise party is for our friend (late 30s, mom of 7yo & 4yo). A few weeks ago, she was getting into the shower & her arm brushed against her breast and felt lumpy. Within about a week, she was diagnosed w/Stage 2 breast cancer. This week, she's undergoing a double mastectomy and simultaneous reconstructive surgery (so goes to sleep w/boobs and wakes up w/new boobs). Good reminder to do self-checks even if like me, you mistakenly think "I'm too young for this."

That's awful. Never too young. My mom had to have a mastectomy for breast cancer at age 9.

I had to bathe my dd with bottled water last night. There was a house fire a few miles away and they were using the hydrants by my house. So our city tap water is all rusty and gross.

I hope it clears up, I have a lot of laundry to do!

This is my fear until we have the tub fixed!!!! I'm behind on dishes (no dishwasher) so there would be no place to put him.

[lilyelayne]

miniwheat no root canal experience but hope you get your tooth fixed soon

angeldcf T&Ps for your friend & her surgeon

misshart00 did I read that right? A mastectomy at age nine??

We had a great time at my friend's wedding and reception yesterday. More nursing in public - the only people interested were the young children, mostly 5 & under. I was happy to explain I'm feeding my baby.

Sad I'm missing Palm Sunday church, but we're traveling home today.

[mommadozer]

Good morning!

I decided to see if LO would sleep in his crib last night. Of course it was was one of those nights where no matter how much milk he inhales, he's wide awake. I fell asleep watching the monitor but, he did great! One feeding a 3am but, it was 7 oz. hoping this growth spurt is almost done. I don't want to have to dip into my stash.

Yes. But 40+ years ago, there weren't a whole lot of other options.

That is amazing!!!! How old is your LO?

[cloe111479]

Little miss slept from 11-5. Then she was fussy around 7 am. DH brought her to our bed and we all slept until about 9:15. It was wonderful!

We are going to sil's house for our nephews birthday. Crawfish! I love spring here.

Dh's grandfather passed away Friday. The services are on Monday. He was not that close to him. But he is going to services but I cant. I just got back to work last week. We have a trial this week and I have NO vacation/sick time left. It is also about an hour and a 1/2 away from work. I feel bad that I can't go but the timing sucks.

Almost 8 weeks. I'm not getting my hopes up, but I hope it sticks a little.

So my nephews gf is having their baby today. I'm gonna be a great-aunt. I'm 26! he is 19 and she is 18. She acts 12 though. Really immature. she has been actively trying to get this baby out since early January (due date April something) she doesn't listen to her Dr at all. she cheated around the time she got pregnant and my nephew wants a DNA test but is afraid she is going to get mad and go crazy. They were only together for like a month before she got pregnant so he didn't know how crazy she was...

Uhh, in some states once he accepts paternaty he is stuck with support payments, even if it turns out later the child isn't his. especially with the crazy, he should get the kid tested...they have kits at like CVS and supermarkets now. He can do it pretty easily. 

[ace226]

Wearing makeup today for the first time in a month, woohoo!

[mels823]

My husband woke up with his cranky pants on. I'm sick and wanted a day to relax, but he is so tired and cranky that I am just pretending I'm fine and putting on my happy face because trying to keep him in a good mood is the only way for anyone in this friggin house to have a good day.

My dog pooped in the loft. Ugh. Husband just freaked out about that. Poor dog. His farts were soooo bad yesterday, he obviously just was not feeling well! He is well trained and knows not to poop in the house. I don't think it's right to punish an animal for something they didn't do on purpose. He was probably whining to go out and we both slept through it.

I have a test to take and a paper to write today all while sick, taking care of baby and trying to keep my husband somewhat happy. Screw today!!

Hope everyone else is having a nice Sunday!!

He wants to get the kid tested before he signs anything he is just scared she's going to get mad. Hopefully he doesn't get pressure into it

Finally got out of the house to go test cars ...and apparantly all car places are closed on sundays? Crazy talk. So I'm getting a pedicure instead. I'm tell DH when I get home. Hopefully baby isn't too mean while I'm gone. I've needed a pedicure for several weeks but don't want to bring him with me

[chickenhawke]

Jealous of all of the sleeping babies, but happy for you mommas. We spent the morning getting M's pictures taken in/with bluebonnets (this is apparently a thing in Texas?). So strange, but it was fun and now we are napping/feeding on the couch. Enjoy your Sunday ladies!

Apparently it's the Texas state flower. Also, after a quick google search, there's a website specifically for bluebonnet sightings and locations. Texans sure love their bluebonnets. They're really pretty though.

[babycfeb2015]

Super jealous of babies who sleep. Our longest stretch at 6.5 weeks is still 4 hours and thats not even a guarentee most nights

Yeah. We figured since our daughter is a Texan, we will do as they do!

So after sleeping most of the night DS has been sleeping most of the day besides feedings. This is a nice change from the fussy week we had. Alas his two month checkup is tomorrow and I'm a afraid those shots might bring back the fussing.

[kaydee0402]

Jealous of the sleeping babies, but it's giving me hope that quiter nights are in our near future!

We leave for Florida this week and I'm SO excited for warm weather. But we're driving so I'm nervous about 12 hours in the car with our four week old. If anyone has any tips to make the trip easier, I'm open to suggestions!

I took an 8 hour trip with DS at 2 and 6 weeks.

try to stick to your LOs schedule if they're eating every 3 hours stop every 3 hours

Give yourself lots of time. With feedings and changes it took us almost an hour at each stop.

Don't forget about you! Eat well, hydrate, and sleep in the car if you can.

Also my LO cluster fed after and had trouble sleeping after each trip so you might want to be prepared for that.

I live in FL and the weather is gorgeous right now. Good luck!!
