I just got back from our baptism prep meeting with the pastor. My mom made him a gown and little booties for Sunday, I hope they still fit. We had to keep pushing it off due to other events and family members schedules.
I had to leave work early though and now have to work from home tonight, boo. My sister is watching DS in the living room and listening to her play with him is adorable. This kid is so loved!
Tired mama here. DS is going thru a bad phase this week, he doesn't want to sleep at all in the early evening. He'd fuss so much around 7 or 8, bobs around my boobs like he's hungry when it's barely been 2 hours since his last feed. After I feed him again, he'd just be wide awake, fussy for the next couple hours until 10 or 11pm, then make another play for my boobs. At this feeding he'd pass out cold after eating ever so slowly, he'd even stay asleep while I change his diaper and swaddle him. I'd just pump the other boob after putting him into bed. He'd wake every 2 hours until morning. Ugh.

Okay, I officially feel like an ass for making fun of my DH this morning. Brady screamed most of the day. I don't know if he is missing me or growing through a growth spurt, but he was so bad that DH sat down and sobbed when I got home because he felt like such a failure at taking care of his own son. So yes, I feel like a complete ass.
Off work today. It was a good day. I'm bummed and forgot just how fast a day off goes. I also didn't realize just how much laundry and clutter could like up.
Thankful for our cleaning service! At least I don't have to spend an entire day off cleaning.

And ladies, I miss talking to you all. I will catch up on spam soon. Hugs to all of you that are having issues. I hate that I'm not able to go through and address everyone.

Poor guy. It's okay though. It's hard for the guys too. Both of you will get into a rhythm and it'll get better.
Toddler was having a whiny tantrum day today. But, he will be spending Friday and most of Saturday at his grandparents, so I only have to handle him and DD together for one more day! Then it's just one kid, and DD has been such a low maintenance angel, I'm actually looking at this as a break. (now that I've said it, I'm going to jinx it)
But, teething. I think DD is starting to cut her bottom front teeth. DS cut his first tooth at just past the 4 month mark. She will be 4 months in a week and a half. This afternoon she was straight up screaming at me, and trying to shove everything in her mouth, and gnawing ferociously (as ferocious as a baby can be) on my knuckles. I ended up giving her a dose of acetaminophen before bath time in hopes she would be able to settle enough to sleep. I may lose my awesome sleeper soon, but I have been grateful for every good night she has given me so far.

Poor H. We've all been there. He'll have a good day eventually. Don't beat yourself up about poking fun; I'm sure you were supportive this evening.

lotsofdotts We've definitely all been there. And I've sobbed plenty myself when I couldn't calm DS down.
Let him know that he's doing great and that sometimes it takes a while to figure out what lo wants. It's no reflection on him or his abilities as a parent.

I can remember crying and wondering if I should go back to work early Bc it was so hard those first 3 weeks. And I will never in my life forget the Wednesday when DS screamed all.day.long. I was so grateful my mom was there to pass him back and forth with.
Hugs to you guys. It's hard working out the kinks and getting into a nice groove. Don't beat yourself up over it.
DS would not fall asleep. He hasn't pooped since Saturday and you can tell it bothers him. DH got a little fart out of him but, he wouldn't calm down and fall asleep. I rolled him onto his tummy and within minutes, a big fart. Thank goodness. Now, he has finally passed out but, he is sleeping on his stomach. How the heck am I supposed to sleep tonight?! DS naps on his tummy but, never has he done this for bedtime. :s
