Removing cradle cap. Grossest thing ever..... I'd rather have 10 explosive poopy diapers.
What are you doing for it? My doctor said we could just leave it but I wouldn't mind helping it along... I noticed some of the flakes coming off recently.

Last night rubbed baby oil into it.... Left it over night. Woke up this morning and used a baby comb to comb the areas. Flakes off in chunks. Peds said to use dandruff shampoo after. So, we'll see.
LO woke up around 5:30 and after changing, feeding and holding him, he went back to sleep around 7. I fell asleep too and I'm still holding him. He looks so sweet and peaceful but I have a massive headache now.
Taking and leaving him at daycare for his last trial day. I'm going to get my hair cut, highlighted and a Brazilian blowout! I can't wait!
So I know what a Brazilian is. And I know what a blowout is. But what's a Brazilian blowout? I think you know where my confused mind is going and I'm thinking that's a lot of attention on your pubic hair. Lol
Haha! Well, I did just get a Brazilian wax too. But a Brazilian blowout is basically a sort of keratin like treatment. I haven't had it done since before I was pregnant bc of the chemicals. It'll take the frizz out of my hair and make drying super easy, adds shine blah blah. Basically my hair looks healthy again. They are awesome to have done forr the summer

First day back to work for me
I did find out that my company has a pretty stellar pumping policy though. I don't have to use my regular break/lunch periods to pump. I can basically pump whenever I need to, for as long as I need to, while on the clock. I got email clarification. That takes one small stressor off my plate.

That is awesome that your work is being so great about pumping.
I worry about this since I am a teacher. Our lunches are about 35 minutes long and I have lunch duty one day a week, so I really only get about 15 minutes to eat and go to the bathroom on that day. I think I will have to get one of the things that straps to me so that I can pump hands-free. That will allow me to eat while I pump. I do know there was a huge ordeal about us pumping in our classrooms even with the door locked, but we only have one office to use for pumping and you had to sign up for a time. I am not sure what would happen if more than one of us had to pump during the same lunch period. Our school is a cluster of morons.
After having to wear "regular" shoes over the weekend, I realized my shoes are tighter. I refuse to believe that my feet are now a half size bigger. Anyone else experience this? Do they go back?!!! I'm a shoe whore & have some pretty spendy shoes in my closet, I will die if they are just going to kill my feet now!
I heard they don't go back. It has to do with your ligaments loosening due to the hormones and your foot flattens out.

Looks like I'm going to have some sore feet then! I'm really hoping it has more to do with the fact that I'm not used to wearing heels, since it's been like 8 months....
One more spam. My glorious pregnancy hair is starting to fall out, as of this mornings shower. Awesome. Given this, the possibly larger feet, the stalemate on remaining weight loss, I'm going to look like a white Shrek! Yay! (I kid, I kid)
I arrived at the airport 30 minutes early to pick up DH. DS was fussing a bit and I took him out of the car seat to feed him. While I am holding him, I start to wonder why my hand is wet. DS blew his diaper out all the way up to his shoulders. I had to strip him down in the back of the hatchback giving him a wipe bath while he screams. What a freaking mess. Haha. I was laughing because we were in the front of the parking lot and al of these other people waiting to pick up people were probably staring at me laughing.

LO is finally napping in his own crib right now, yay for small successes; however, I have a headache and sore throat...been sipping tea and soup all day - my mom is here helping thank god!
This kid is tired. I know he is. But every time he starts to doze he looks up at me and screams angrily. Go to sleep and you won't be so angry! GAHHHH.

Oh no! This did make me laugh just a little, though. I've had those moments of, "why is my hand wet? Aw man!"
I saw a cool video the other day that said the reason why onesies have the little envelope folds at the neck is so that you can roll it down the baby so you don't get the blowout mess on their head. Of course it'd probably get all over their legs, but still better than in their hair.
DS napped for my mom while I got my massage. Hooray!
I scheduled another one for the 18th since I'll be dropping him off for the first time at daycare and will need something to distract myself with, haha.

My legs/feet didn't swell, but they did get half a size larger after DS. They seem the same size this time.

Yes! I saw that too. It totally works by the way (yeah, tested it out the hard way!)

I almost always take onesies off this way. He fusses much less than if I try to take them off over his head!
DS just wants to be held today. I think he got spoiled at the daycare at the gym; the lady holding him said "no! You can't have him back yet!" when she saw me, haha.
I got in a good swim and a shower!! My first shower in weeks without DS in the bouncer just outside, probably my third in his lifetime. Glorious.

Hello lovelies!
Love having 3 pages of spam to read at the end of a long day with a celebratory 'First exclusively formula fed day today' glass of wine in my hand. To make a long story short, babies, DHs, ILs, work people... chill out and give us a break
My hair also started falling out LOADS lately. Scary amounts. I made the mistake of mentioning this to my BIL this morning. His wife has breastcancer, and her gorgeous thick locks have fallen out. She's a hero, dealing with this for the 2nd time in her life at 31. I felt so shitty.
Major baby fever going on here as well. Infertility runs on my mum's side of the family and I don't want to risk anything. My sister went in to menopause at age 29. I'm 28 now soooooo... yeeeeeeh...
Other spam, I bought pampers active fit size 3 and put one on LO and it fit better than the size 2s! The 2s fall off his bum (he doesn't have a bum...) so the 3 way fit definitely helps. If anyone else has been struggling with that, active fit worked for us!
My hair is also falling out tons. Last time it stopped by 6 months, so at least there is an endpoint.
I really should get a wax soon, with pool season fast approaching. Plus DH might appreciate it ;-)
I moved the glider and changing table from our master bedroom into the nursery. Tonight DD starts sleeping in the crib! I'm happy and sad about it at the same time. I just hope DS doesn't wake her up. Their bedrooms are next to one another, and DS wakes up crying/screaming in the MOTN (a few times typically). Usually DH goes to comfort him since I'm up changing and nursing DD throughout the night. Hope it goes well.
First day of work went well. I pumped around 13 ounces so I'm happy about that. DD has been fussy and wanting to nurse all evening though but I'm not surprised. Can't believe it's almost bedtime!
Ladies PSA. make sure you have working carbon monoxide detectors! LO and I were in our living room and the alarm went off. DH was working on the mower. So so glad we have that. I took LO outside for half an hour and we opened all the windows,

I'm glad you had them because that is scary! Thank goodness you and LO are okay. I have them but thanks for the reminder!
misshart00 hope your family is okay after the tornados. michelle142 DH is a chiropractor. DS has gotten adjusted - twice that I know of for shoulders, once for neck. He had a cold and got adjusted for nasal drainage & cough/congestion. osumegs good for you for standing up for yourself! pitdigger glad you're getting the marriage certificate soon! Hope your LO's paperwork is finished shortly thereafter.
This kid is tired. I know he is. But every time he starts to doze he looks up at me and screams angrily. Go to sleep and you won't be so angry! GAHHHH.
I had to get out of the house today. I know if I stay in town I won't be out for more than an hour or two, so I drove to the bigger town 30 minutes away. I had Olive Garden for lunch, hit up Target, dropped in on my dad at work, and met my mom at our favorite shoe store. Other than DS having a too tired meltdown in Olive Garden, he did great being in public all day. And I feel less like a crazy person who spends all day wishing I knew what my baby wants.
H is at choir practice tonight until late so I figured I would try putting DD down earlier than normal. She typically falls asleep around 7:30-8 on us and we go to bed around 9:30 where we change her clothes and feed her then swaddle her to bed.
Anywhoo I decided what the heck this is kind of an experiment lets see how she does not swaddled and putting her down drowsy. The little girl fell asleep after my dang down barked right next to her crib. (grrrrrrr) I feel like I am dooming myself to a night of wake ups, but I can swaddle her later right?
