Poor DS got some shots this morning and he's super pissed about it. I nursed him immediately after and he went right to sleep for about 2 hours. Since he woke up he's been on a cycle of nursing for about 5 minutes, falling asleep for 10-15, then waking up screaming and repeat. He'll start kicking his little legs and the screams just get worse. It definitely sounds like a pained scream so I'm thinking he's just sore (I have him on Tylenol). Poor dude even whimpers and pokes out his bottom lip in his sleep. Very pitiful. I don't remember my girls reacting like this.
On the positive side, he has gained almost 6 lbs and 3.5 inches since his 2 week check-up (today was 2 months). My girls were both very slow to gain so this is all new to me.
I'm back in the stupid hospital with some pretty bad stomach pain and bloody stool. They can't figure out where it's coming from. Hopefully they can figure it out and get me out of here quickly. I have things to do.
Oh no! So sorry to hear this. I hope they get it figured out and get you feeling better quickly.
So sorry for your loss @crazycornball and I hope the bad weather passes
So scary xoxolicia I hope they figure out what's going on! Feel better!
@lotsofdots I agree, take the spot. Childcare is super stressful and its your dept chairs own fault for the way things turned out. Who knows, there may be a spot open if/when she needs it, but you need this now.
Good luck with childcare badw0lf don't be afraid to pop-in to places for random visits. I visited our soon to be daycare 4 times and only called the first time.
Just having a lazy day here. Went out for lunch with DH and DS and we finally picked up the set of elephant pictures I had framed for DS' room. I can't wait to hang them!
I went to an intensive arm class at barre yesterday. I am sore everywhere. But, I'm sure the lactation cookies I keep housing outweigh my workout efforts.

Poor little guy! Those painful cries are so sad my DS was crying in pain afterwards too. I hope the Tylenol and some rest help.
We got some sleep last night! Was it the marathon nursing yesterday evening? The bigger swaddler? The lack of evening nap? I don't know but we all needed it.
Our air conditioner crapped out yesterday evening, but DH got it thawed and it limped along for the night. Guess we get to deal with that today. My bet is DH's cousin comes over, puts more freon in it, tinkers for an hour, and tells us it'll work but he doesn't know how long. It's our spring tradition
Hooray for sleep!! I hope your AC situation gets resolved!

Just wanted to say how much I miss you guys! I'm on a few FB mom boards and I'm constantly rolling my eyes at their posts. One woman posted that her and her husband were thinking about getting a night doula because they were soo sleep deprived and that her 3.5 week old is fussy and won't sleep for more than 2-3 hrs. She then stated that they really couldn't afford it and asked the board what they thought? Everyone was nice to her and I wasn't. I told her she has a newborn and she shouldn't expect to sleep for long stretches. Also save the money! Geez fo real?!

I feel like the past two LO has been breastfeeding the entire day. I know DH is going to come home and ask what the heck I did today. I'm going to tell him jogged to the park with the dog and fed LO.

T&P for your family @crazycornball . And hopefully the crappy weather passes swiftly!
Glad you were able to get into the doctor, hollydfromtn hopefully you get some relief!
lotsofdotts I would say accept the spot, and if your co worker says anything just say that Doris told you there was an open spot, you don't have to know where the spot came from. xoxolicia T&P hopefully they find the cause and it's nothing serious!
Now I'm hanging out in our storage closet under the stairs with the baby due to Tornado warnings. Today can suck it. I hope DD1 isn't too scared at daycare. Ugh.
Thinking about you! Tornadoes are much more terrifying when you're away from little ones and at home with a tiny baby!

Lol. I tell H all the time that I could totally do this again if we had a night nanny. And if we could afford it, I would be totally serious.

This! I'm forever rolling my eyes at the lack of intelligence and common sense on the FB mom boards.
Our new cloth diapers arrived today. I'm super excited, seeing DD's bum in the cute patterns gives me all kinds of happy feels! I even found one with a lego pattern that DH will love. If I had ordered only that pattern DH would probably volounteer to do every single diaper change.
We have a batman CD that's my favorite.
Spam: LO is resisting falling asleep. He had been falling asleep around 8:30 during the last week. It's now 9:11 and he's cooing away in his RNP. I'm trying to decide if I should pick him up and snuggle or leave him and hope he falls asleep...

Took lo to work today where he was a big hit. Tomorrow he stays with my mom while I go in for about 4 hours for a few meetings and a review with my replacment. I'm going back to work next week...wow.
I'm really sad about the situation in Baltimore tonight. I'm so thankful DH works for a small department in a boring town, but I know even a town like this isn't completely unaffected by what's going on. Maybe it was foolish, but I honestly thought the situation would get better. I thought some other sensational thing would happen and violence targeted against law enforcement would kinda slow down a little. I'm just feeling sad and scared. Putting DS to bed tonight was really hard because all I could think was that there's a very real possibility that because his dad is a police officer he could have to grow up without him... Or even that he'll be a teenager and have to take care of me and his younger siblings. I guess it's always been in the back of my mind, but all these riots and having DS makes it so. much. scarier. I could go on without DH; I wouldn't want to but I could. But if he had to go on without his dad? That's so much worse.

Sorry to be such a Debbie downer guys.
Don't worry about being a Debbie downer ; we're here to listen. The whole Baltimore situation is sad and scary, and I'm sure worse for you because it hits close to home. I can't imagine if my husband's career came with so much danger. Hugs.
