If you use a bottle warmer, which one is it?
We use avent classic bottles (the wider ones).
Add us to the hot water group. We just get hit water out if the tap and put it in a mug and put the bottle in there for a min or so. FWIW Our tap water can get quite hot, which makes me think we should look into turning the temp down before DS is able to use the faucet (plenty of time before then lol). When DH is doing a bottle by himself though he feels this can take too long, but I think that's more cause he doesn't anticipate when a bottle will be needed and waits until DS is fussing like a mad man so then everything seems to take too long.
Oh the joys of having my manager also be my best friend! She just emailed me my schedule for the rest of the month and it's awesome! In my position I can work at any of our banks locations for any hours... and she has been scheduling me shorter hours than usual and giving me random days off and putting me at locations close to home! Best part, I don't have to go in until 10 tomorrow! That sure makes the first day back a bit better. Just had to share my good news, and since no one else is around, you ladies get it!
mels823 enjoy your last day of leave. good luck returning to work tomorrow.
@crazycornball clogged ducts are awful! I had one that I was able to get out yesterday by using Lasinoh reusable bead pads, having LO nurse and massaging. It hurt to even hold DS on that side.
jensoprano82 GL at your pedi appt! Very stressful night I'm sure.

We use the keurig and just make the smallest cup with only water.
Those that are swaddling, what do you use to swaddle with. My LO has outgrown the length of both the swaddlers and the receiving blankets we have, but he isn't ready to not be swaddled.
On the spam note, I am beginning to realize my brother is probably an alcoholic. This is making me sad and angry, and irrationally scared for my son, because addiction runs in both our families.
Ugh, I had an appointment at 9:15 this morning for my IUD, but I wasn't able to keep it because of the freaking TRAIN that stopped on the tracks right in front of the hospital (who puts train tracks in front of the entrance to a hospital?!) that stopped there for TWO HOURS. I had Roslin with me, so after waiting for over half an hour, hoping the damn thing would start moving, I had to turn around and go home. I was able to reschedule my appointment, but I could literally see the building my doctor's office is in, which is about thirty minutes away from my house... It's a good thing I left when I did, because it didn't start moving until an hour after I decided to go home (my mom works across the street from the hospital, and was watching the train).
At least next week my mom is off work so she can just come to my house to watch Roslin, instead of me dropping her off at her office.
On a positive, slightly braggy note, Roslin went ten hours between feedings last night. She ate at 9, we put her down in her rock n play in our bedroom after she was done eating, was asleep by the time we came to bed at 10:45, and she didn't wake up until a little after 7.
I was about to be really pissed off at my lack of sleep last night, then I got up and DS (who I brought into bed because he was fussy and wouldn't sleep otherwise) reached out for me and looked sad when he couldn't find me. It's a pain to be needed by everyone but sometimes it's definitely nice to know you're needed.
Aw my lil chubs weighed in at 12 lbs 4 oz at his 2 month appointment--not bad for starting out at 7 lbs. I almost cried when he got his shots. He screamed so loudly (I've never heard him make those noises) and I just held his hands down and put my head against his (I couldn't watch) and let him know I was there. I nursed him to sleep after and he's still sleeping. Hopefully he gets some good naps today since last night was crap.

Aden and anais Muslin blankets. They are big and we love them!

Awe! I hope your LO feels better. You just reminded me that DD will be getting her shots tomorrow. I forgot that was happening at this appointment. I'm going to be so sad

We use the beaba secondes and it's really good! It works with steam so is a lot faster than bain marie, but keeps more nutrients than microwaving, of course. I would definitely recommend it!

I'm on my phone so forgive me for not tagging and supporting you guys. My baby brain won't let me remember all that I need to tag. I'm soaking in the bath with a glass of wine right now, so maybe I'll get on the laptop a little later.
Positive spam for today: we had our taxes done and we are getting a sizable refund! That helps my anxiety about money. Hopefully that is one thing I will stop stressing over.
Kind of gross spam (I warned you): I REALLY want to have sex since being cleared and having the IUD put in and have been frustrated that we haven't had the opportunity nor has my husband felt like it because he is so tired lately. My two oldest kids are at their dad's house tonight, so DH and I planned to have some fun tonight. Well...my stomach is upset and I have diarrhea. Now isn't that freaking romantic!? Damnit, I just want to have sex!!!
Talked to my manager today about my transition back. She was not on board with my coming in 2 days the first week, 3 the second and third, but proposed instead I work at home/be on email the days I don't come in, which works for me! Day care actually doesn't have 2 day rates, so the first week I'll have him go 3 days and I'll be able to run some errands/be online catching up.

Hi girls!!!! Thank you for the support this morning.... We've had lots (and lots and LOTs) of spitting up and fussing but no new bloody spit ups which is encouraging. We are going to an excellent GI specialist tomorrow morning and we're gonna get this figured out. Thank you for making me feel such awesome solidarity!!!
DS and I went on a field trip to my office today. Everyone loved seeing him. Today was the monthly staff meeting where they bring in lunch, so I ended up staying and eating.
I miss seeing everyone, but I'm glad I still have 6 more weeks with my squish. We snuggled this morning and took a 2 hour nap on the couch.
Got my BRU registry reward email today. $80.40. More than I was expecting! I'm glad I saw someone mention it on BBC because a. I thought it would come in the mail b. It was not sent to my main Gmail box
I started work today DS had 3 outfit changes, 1 poop explosion, and 1 bath all in just 4 hours! I brought him home and got all the baby snuggles I don't work again till Friday night which means my husband will put him to bed. I don't know how that's gonna happen since he falls asleep on the boob. :/
