Seriously, Saturday?! Spam!

[WittyLittle]

It's Saturday people, and that means I'm at work and the building is empty. Time to be productive... here! Spam it up

Wow DS was a little nightmare yesterday. He made me cry for the first time in weeks. Cute how I can still say 'weeks' at this age. I'm secretly very happy to be at work today. Bad mom confession? Just to make sure I wouldn't miss him all too much, DS suddenly woke up at midnight, 3 and 5 demanding a feed, after STTN since he was about 5-6 weeks old. But that huge smile this morning made up for everything again. I wonder if he realised he's pushed the limits by mommy's zonked out face and decided to reward we, or if this is a manipulative continuation of his evil scheme to break mommy this week :-P

[WittyLittle]

@holachica, have fun! How's the weather looking? One of my friends just popped and 2 more are due next month. I can't wait for those baby get togethers! EEP!

Hello. DD woke up a 3:30 which is pretty common, but unfortunately I haven't been able to sleep since. Good thing H is the primary driver in our family.

Enjoy your time to yourself WittyLittle even if it is work.

@holachica enjoy! Sounds like a great day.

[cougarette]

It looks like DS has his first daycare sniffles. His nose isn't runny, but it is stuffy and he's coughing a little more than usual.

Was I reading that saline drops even without suctioning is still good? I don't want to overdo it with the nose frida.

[cougarette]

WittyLittle I hope lo is in a better mood when you return home

@holachica Have fun today!

aggiebug Safe travels!

[anchovies]

cougarette we give saline without auctioning too.

Enjoy your baby free workday WittyLittle

[WittyLittle]

cougarette, we also give the saline without suctioning. It gets some of the gook out

My boobs woke me up at 5-looked at the moniter and LO was just playing in his crib. I fed him even though he wasn't crying and figured Id just go to the gym after-I just realized my gym doesn't open until 7! Guess I'll be forced to go back to sleep.

[WittyLittle]

babycfeb2015, now that's an excellent example of something that would never happen to me on all accounts :-P
Sleep well

[aggiebug]

Currently feeding the child so we can hit the road. I love how H thinks we can get up at 6:30 to leave the house by 7. Yeah good try dude. I was up and woke him up at 6 and we got out the door 5 after.

[WittyLittle]

aggiebug, have a good trip, I hope all goes well! DH always tries this as well and a random sequence of events wakes him up at the time I want him up. Oops

[mmarie]

Baby girl slept from 10pm to 6am! Now just snuggled up on the couch because of course mama woke up every hour thinking that she will be up any minute. Lazy morning for us then a graduation party this afternoon. Hopefully it's nice out

[mmarie]

aggiebug have a good trip. Yesterday we had to be out of the door by 830 to get to an appointment by 9. DD and I were up by 630 and we were still late. A few months ago I could have slept until 820. No more!

[mands1125]

Hi all! Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend. I'm down in Southern Delaware at my parents. We had problems getting DD to sleep in the portacrib here but she finally went down.

On another note, I handed her to DH on the couch and went back to bed without even saying a word. It was glorious.

[missys]

Thinking about taking LO to the zoo this morning before the heat and crowds. We have a wedding tomorrow and I'm dreading someone else doing the nighttime routine. I know I have to let go of control but I feel like I'm allowing him to be upset when someone else won't know what to do. After typing that I realize how ridiculous I sound.

[WittyLittle]

missys, you don't sound ridiculous, I think a lot of people are antsy about this. It is hard, but they'll get through it and LO will have forgotten any royal f*ckups by morning anyway! Wahey!

[mamabutt2]

It's DH and I's 4 year dating anniversary! Tomorrow marks 1 year of marriage! We did it! Lol

We're going to Buffalo Wild Wings (or favorite place) tomorrow night and then hanging out at the house drinking, having drunk sex, and sleeping. Sounds trashy when I put it like that.....but I'm so excited haha! MIL is watching DS overnight and I'm nervous. It's his first night away from us and I'm kind of debating on if it's too early for this or not. Any thoughts? Also, since I plan on getting drunk that night, pump and dump right? Do I do this until I'm not drunk anymore or what? Help a clueless sister out!

I'd just pump and dump every 3 hours until you feel sober.

[anchovies]

Happy anniversary mamabutt2! I think You will be fine leaving him overnight. Party on!

[anchovies]

Spam: going to barre class at noon. Hanging out with DH and DS until then. DH will meet nearby afterwards to hopefully go to lunch. I need to hit up the grocery store today to pick up food for Memorial Day.

[miniwheat]

DH is painting our front and garage doors today. I am excited because the front of the house looks like old ladies live here. DS STTN last night and I am pretty awake for a change. Other than that, nothing too exciting.

[Mom2Ms]

I've been a bit MIA the last week or so due to wedding festivities & trying to get organized for my surgery scheduled on Tuesday.

Let's see, I'm in a wedding tomorrow. It's probably the swankiest thing I've ever been to. My bridesmaid dress is an evening gown rather than a typical bridesmaid dress. DH is wearing a tux. I'm kind of excited to get dressed up & have one on one time with DH. He's really been trying to improve our relationship, so divorce is off the table for now. We hired a recommended professional nanny to take care of DS at the hotel. It wil be his first sitter and his first bottle. I sure hope I can survive this mentally. Breathe. Just breathe.

I had a PTO day yesterday for my SIL's pharmD graduation ceremony. Today is her big party out in the country. Her husband is a cattle farmer and they live in the middle "no where Illinois". Should be fun though. DD1 gets to see the baby cows.

Tomorrow I have to work and then nothing planned for Monday (the OOT ILs fly out in the afternoon).

Enjoy the weekend everyone!

[lilyelayne]

aggiebug safe travels!
cougarette I use saline without the frida all the time. I like the saline mist spray too.
missys I know what you mean about the bedtime routine! Hopefully all goes well for your LO.
mamabutt2 happy anniversary(s)! I'm sure your LO will be fine with your mil. I think once you feel sober enough to drive, you're sober enough to nurse.
Mom2Ms hope you & DH enjoy the wedding. Hope he continues to improve.

I think it's a good idea to leave him overnight with someone else this early. That way it's not a super new thing when separation anxiety starts to kick in.

[lilyelayne]

Beautiful day here! Don't know what we're doing but it'll be outside! I wanted fast food breakfast (terrible, I know) so I left DH and DS at home. $10 says DS is asleep in daddy's arms when I get home instead of his crib

mamabutt2 happy anniversary! Technically you don't have to pump and dump because alcohol leaves milk like it leaves your bloodstream. But to keep your supply going and for comfort, pump and dump.

See, that's what I was thinking. Cuz if I miraculously sleep for 8 hours or however long till my boobs wake me, do I need to dump that batch or is it okay to keep since I'll be sober by then? I'm such a lightweight now that I'm sure only 3 or 4 will get me nice and buzzed lol

[hollydfromtn]

Good morning all. I'm getting ready to head into town for some last minute groceries and a quick trip to Lowes. DH has a to do list a mile long and needs a few things. Hopefully by the time we get everything done this afternoon our little plastic kiddie pool will have had enough time for the water to warm up so DS and I can splash around. I'm thinking about letting him sit in the bumbo in the water with me. Do you think that will mess up the bumbo? I know they can get wet, I'm just not sure about it being submerged for any length of time. I'm just planning on filling the pool about 5-6 inches deep.

[dramacat]

Milestone here... LO's first cold. He screamed from 2:30am and in if he wasn't held. Yuck. Thankfully DH's sister is watching him for a couple hours so I can nap and go to the grocery store. Also good news, LO did not catch DH's pneumonia.

LO is so chunky that at 15 weeks we had to buy a constable car seat, because he outgrew the straps in the seat... Not the actual seat, just the harness... And we found out when we took him to the doctor suspecting pneumonia and the pediatrician noticed peticcia (read welt-like bruise) on his leg from the harness. I felt like the worst parent in the world. Not noticing that. I knew he needed a new caraway soon and was going to buy one today, but I didn't realize the harness was so tight. needless to say, I bought him a new seat yesterday.
