I made breakfast this morning and sleeping through the night seems to be a trend. I still get up once a night to pump, but I can usually freeze at least one of the bottles for the June stash (I'm treating G getting his passport in time as a slim possibility).
I have to take the kiddos to shop for a birthday gift for a birthday party DD was invited to. I have no idea what to get. It will either be a duplo set or craft supplies.
DS's eczema has flared up again... so the antibiotics and cream aren't helping that much. I spent a big chunck of last night reading what I could try to calm the irritation and cetaphil came up a lot. I am going to give that a try to soothe his skin when its not bad enough for steroid cream.
I hope your babies let you have a lazy sunday, mommas!
Snuggling DS in bed while he takes a crap nap on me. I don't mind, bc I'll be back to work in 2.5 weeks (that deserves many more sad faces)
We went to Saturday mass yesterday. I had left a message at the rectory inquiring about baptism. Well, it turns out today they are holding their quarterly baptism session. I'm happy we are both off and can make it to the meeting.
I just saw on the news about the Nepal earthquake and subsequent avalanche on Mt. Everest. So scary and sad. It sounds like almost 1000 climbers are trapped.
A close friend's brother and his girlfriend are currently in Nepal, they haven't heard from them yet so scary.
hola! We are heading to church soon. I wonder how many comments I will receive for putting DD in the nursery instead of taking her with us to church from FIL. I like my 1 hr of service without her and its good for her TYVM. OH and you visit to much for me to change the routine just because you visit.
Other than that not too much today. Hopefully enjoy a lazy afternoon with a nap thrown in.
So somebody talk to me about recommendations of daily milk intake. LO is 10 weeks and is eating 20-22oz of BM a day, with one nursing session MOTN. I've tried feeding her more, but this seems like her absolute max. So, I'm guessing she lands around 24oz for the day. She weighs approx 12lbs 3oz according my very scientific weighing her at home. All the articles I see say 2.5oz per lb of body weight, which puts her way under that recommendation. I also stalk the formula thread to see where others are landing.
Is this a case of every baby is different, or should I start being concerned?

Good morning, ladies.
Brady woke up at 3:30 like clockwork last night. I'm not complaining because he has developed a wonderful pattern of one wake up at that time. What I am complaining about is the fact that I couldn't go back to sleep, so I played on my phone until around 6. I finally went back to sleep and my husband took the baby so that I could sleep until 8.
Now I have to finish my coffee and get ready for church. I'm considering putting Brady in the nursery at church. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.
We got up early and went to the beach to look for sea shells. DD1 had it in her head that she wanted to find shells to bring in for her next show and tell (Thursday). We found some cool shells, a few sharks teeth and a starfish. Just picked up bagels on the way home.
I think we're going out to the mall to get new gym shoes for both DH and I later. Then, spending the rest of the afternoon hanging out at home. Pool, beer and grilling sounds nice. DH mentioned wanting to make steak fajitas. Sounds good to me!

Sitting here after our "motn" (6am.... But went to bed at 12:30) feed. We have it down to a science now where baby eats, diaper is changed, dog is fed, and mommy has peed all in about 20 minutes flat. Now I'm watching him wiggle away in his RnP. He's gotten one hand free and looks so proud of himself I may just let it be. Such a good baby.... He wiggles ferociously in the RnP but never cries or fusses.
We are having the baby in the nursery debate, too. I want to expose her to the church atmosphere, but it's not like she's getting anything out of it right now. we have been skipping opening songs and closing songs, but I still end up leaving with a crying baby midway through.

What @nolagal said. Their milk consumption should not really change from 2montha - 6mo the from what I understand. The average is 25oz. Kellymom.com has a good calculator.

IMO the nursery is wonderful and a great place for the babies. I work with the 2 yr olds and they enjoy it as do the parents. I am all for sharing the worship experience with the kiddos but at this age they don't really get anything out of it.

DD was FF from about 4 months on, but in her entire first year she never had more than 20 to 22oz per day. She always drank less BM than formula. She always gained and grew at every appt but I was so worried about the number of oz. Every kid is very different.

Check out KellyMom.com
Average breastmilk intake per day usually falls between 19 and 30oz per day. As long as LO is gaining weight, is satisfied and is wetting plenty of diapers, you're fine.
And you can't compare ounces of intake to formula, since its very different.
DD has hit the 3m growth spurt. I forgot how much this one sucked. She's so restless and unhappy and of course DH has to work late all week so I'm on my own with the two kiddos. Soooo not looking forward to it. I'm hoping the fussy part ends soon and she jumps into the sleepy stretch.
Well, I did not go to church. I was contemplating it, but realized that my hair is dirty, and LO feel asleep on my chest. I decided I didn't want to miss out on the snuggles, since I'd have to put him down and shower.

We made it to church!! Okay we were late, came in halfway through the homily, but we made it! We've got our usual Sunday lunch with my parents & paternal grandmother & great uncle, then a birthday party for one of DS's second cousins. He's currently kicking away on his playmat. I think it's adorable how much fun he has there now.
In serious news, the Nepal earthquake is such a tragedy. Mother Nature is a bitch sometimes. aggiebug I hope your friend hears from her brother soon.
@nolagal glad the weather is looking good for your Jazzfest day! miniwheat hope the cetaphil helps mamabisme every time you talk about where you live I get super jealous. I would live on the Gulf coast if I didn't prioritize being close to family.

Mamas who are using the pack n play - does your mattress piece sag in the middle? I have it raised to the higher level (I think they call it bassinet position) and it has a definite dip. We got it second hand so I don't know if this is normal or worn out.

Ours dips. It drives me nuts. We used it with DS, so it's almost 4 years old. I'm guessing between prior use and storage, it's starting to wear out.

DS slept from 10p-330a! Then ate and slept until 6, ate then slept again until 8ish, I thought he was up then but he just wanted a snack then slept again until 945a. He is such a happy baby this am, I told him it's cause he got enough sleep! Now then key is to figure out what we did yesterday that helped him sleep. We were outside a lot yesterday at a community garage sale, maybe it was all the fresh air? So today we have plans that involve going to the park so DH can play disc golf, hopefully DS will tolerate the k'tan while we're there. Otherwise that's it for our Sunday. (Oh and we just took all the crap outta the crib so I am going to try a nap in there for DS, hopefully it goes well).

Dd and I went shopping yesterday. Scored some deals for myself and little bit. Along with a dress for her Christening at the end of may. (In a smaller size too! Who knew -- don't be too envious it was still plus size)
DH was going to the golf tournament but rain stopped him yesterday, so today they went even earlier.
Dd and I are headed to visit my grandparents and parents for lunch today.
Yay for dd! She turned over today both ways! Yay! Though the time I tried to video it she belched so loudly while on her tummy. It's too funny. I did manage to get a good laugh on video.
