Happy Sunday Funday Spam fun

[anchovies]

Your Sunday spam - let me hear it!

[anchovies]

I have to work 6:30-5 today. I woke up at 4 Bc I thought I heard LO waking up. Nope. I couldn't fall back asleep bc I kept thinking of he wakes up I should hurry and feed/change him.

I feel bad since he will likely wake up shortly after I leave in the next 30 minutes and DH will have only slept about 4 hours. DS would go back to sleep for me after eating most days but he can be restless and he likes to comfort nurse to fall back asleep in the mornings. Hooray that today is the last 3p-1:30am shift for DH for a week.

I ordered my new gas range/ microwave combo for my new kitchen yesterday! It's the little things that keep me sane.
DD is sleeping much better. I'm consistently getting three hour stretches, so I almost feel human.
DH is slowly improving. He still complains of being tired all the time, but he's been more present with DD and has been getting in some input on the new house remodel. Our relationship still isn't great, but it's an improvement.
Maybe one day I won't live in my parent's living room anymore...
I'm trying to look on the bright side. DD is really doing so much better. She has more happy days than not anymore. And the biggest ulcer on her bottom has filled in almost completely. She no longer screams through every diaper change. Baby steps.

I'm working today but it's a little nice to get a break from the ILs for a bit. Three of them are staying in our little, mostly packed up house. I like them but the MIL can be a bit much. Have a great day!

[lilyelayne]

anchovies DS has mostly started skipping his 4am feeding, but I still wake up then like clockwork.
modernfairytale8709 glad to hear things are still getting better for you & your family. Do you have an estimated time frame for when your new house will be ready for you to move in?

Not much spam for me today. My hormones must still be stupid - emotions are in the dump & I woke up covered in sweat MOTN.
Yesterday was a lovely warm sunny day after lots of rain, but week long storms are supposed to start again today. T&Ps for those in tornado country.

DD is spending the weekend with my parents (it's been about nine weeks since the last time she spent the weekend over there) so DH and I can relax and take a little break. I still managed to wake up at 7 which is sort of the 'normal' time I get up with her, but I feel like I had a more restful night's sleep. I'm enjoying the laziness and 'do what I want when I want'-ness but at the same time I already miss her. My subconscious keeps thinking that because she's not in the room with us she must be asleep in the other room, so last night I kept jumping whenever DH was being loud playing a game because I didn't want him to wake her, lol.

But I know my parents are loving every second of having her and they sleep less than she does so I know that she's not interrupting their sleep.

DS and I have had quite the morning.

Well first he slept fun 9:30 to 6, so yay!

I was very, very full and he kept changing his latch. I went to pull him off and adjust, and he started almost gagging. I went to sit him upright and he spit everything up all over me. Then I got a huge burp, which was good.

After changing him I put him back on and he had a massive poop (no blowout though!).

He's also still sounding stuffy, so I did some saline drops and suctioning after changing his diaper. Of course this made him mad.

Oh and now my throat is a little sore. I guess because I'm starting to make antibodies for him? Is that how it works? Maybe it's just a coincidence?

We had a great time at the graduation party yesterday. We were both exhausted when we got home but I managed to get a bottle in her about 1030 and she slept until 630! Now we have a 2 hour roadtrip for a graduation ceremony. Hoping to get a tiny nap In before I have to start getting ready.

Hope everyone stayed safe with all that nasty weather yesterday!

modernfairytale8709 baby steps is good!

[misshart00]

Nothing much here. I've forgotren what sun looks like.

[miniwheat]

I need a sunscreen rec. I am looking for something to go on under make up, not greasy and not too harsh on skin. I am super fair and regular sunscreen is getting to harsh on my tired old face.

What do you use?

Still stormy? Is the season for storms almost over for your area? You guys have been through so much.

It's kind of drizzly this morning. There's some massive flooding near me. Just tired of all the storms.

[flyster]

@modernfairytail so glad things are looking up. Sometimes just little things are all you need to get to the next step.

We had another terrible night of sleep atempting the pnp transition. I just ordered the merlin sleep suit and when we get home I'm going to try him in crib. Hoping the softer matress helps since he sleeps ok in our bed

[mrsclark731]

Morning!

We are about to fully convert from the RNP to crib. During the day she now naps only in the PNP and sleeps in her RNP at night still (and she's always slept in her nursery at night). H sent me this blog link and I think we'll try the towel under the fitted sheet trick:

My sister had a bbq yesterday afternoon, and today the in-laws are coming over. For once, I can't complain about the weather here in the north east! It will be a beautiful day again today...before the heat wave they are predicting this week.

[boxerrrmama85]

Bitching for a minute:

Last weekend went to Houston to see friends. This weekend they said they were coming in town, then on Tuesday changed their minds and said they weren't coming. Last night at 5:00pm they said they were on their way! Dude-- you can't do that to a family with a 4 month old. I SCRAMBLED to clean the house/wash sheets-- and then just said Fuck it! If I had planned on them coming I would have cleaned throughout the week and gone grocery shopping!
Then this morning my husband's friend suggested we get an "early start" and head to Austin. Fuck that-- you get an early start and we will meet you there!!! GAH!!!!

Any hoot-- very excited today to see a friend of mine that I haven't seen in two years. We are meeting them in Austin. She brings out the best bitch in me and I love her for it!

Have a happy Sunday.

[cougarette]

How annoying. Bitch on, boxerrrmama85!

[lilyelayne]

miniwheat I don't really wear makeup but I was using this as my daily moisturizer for a while and had no problem with concealer or the occasional day of full face BB cream. Eta: it has spf 30
Aveeno Smart Essentials Daily Nourishing Moisturizer, 2.5 Ounce www.amazon.com/dp/B004D282D8/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_84Dyvb1WZ3NJT

My face is super particular about sunscreen. I've had good luck with neutrogena products in the past - specifically ultra sheer dry touch. Sport face worked okay too. I've never tried make up over those.

[lilyelayne]

boxerrrmama85 enjoy your day with your friend! Hopefully your houseguests are less annoying today.

[cougarette]

My turn to bitch.

MIL was just talking to DH on the phone and was asking about DS's daycare and repeated the name over and over. Uh, why do you need to know?

Then she says, "maybe one day I can come over when you get off early and we can go get him together. Now that he's in daycare I only get to see him on the weekends." Ok first of all, you've only ever seen him on the weekends. This is not my fault. In fact, on April 14 (yes I looked up the date of the text) I said she can come over to visit (she kept asking if we needed help. I wouldn't have minded, but not her help since all she does is criticize everything). She never once asked to come over during the week after that. Not once.

Second of all, are you upset that he's in daycare because now you can't watch him? Well you aren't available everyday. Also, I don't want you watching him anyway.

WTF. I guess you can't be a martyr if you don't suffer.

What do you use?

I rotate between two kinds- the Jergens natural glow with spf and olay complete. Jergens has that little bit of self tanner so my face still gets some color but I don't want to use that every day, so I rotate with the Olay.

I like Olay Complete as well. It's thinner in texture than the aveeno I listed above.

I read that same blog post when I was getting ready to do DD's transition to the PNP from the RNP. I did the rolled up towel for a week, and while I'm not sure it helped it certainly didn't hurt. She's sleeping in a totally bare PNP with no extra gimmicks after having been in the RNP a week ago. Granted... I think part of that is that Roslin is a good sleeper so I don't think my experience is actually very helpful...

But, I've read a lot of mommas say that a rolled up towel helped a lot in their LO's transition, so it sounds like a common transition aid!

Hello! So we are enjoying Atlanta about to head to the Braves game park 14 for us!

My hometown is underwater. The river was 40 feet above the banks which is a new record. My parents are OK thank goodness.

Going to a wedding today. Excited to dance with my husband but worried about LO not having me and setting him up to be upset. Thank you for the ladies yesterday who gave me words of engorgement about this!

boxerrrmama85 wtf? These people clearly do not have kids

modernfairytale8709 so happy things are getting better bit by bit!

dacora I'm sure your parents are loving every second and I'm excited for my parents to have O when we go out of town for MHs weekend soccer tournament

flyster I'm thinking about the merlin suit too. Good luck tonight!

cougarette‌ eye rolls to your MIL

[cloe111479]

Headed to SIL for twins 5th birthday family party.

We are on day 3 of no poop. I am awaiting the poop apocalypse.

[lilyelayne]

cougarette some people just try to make drama.
aggiebug glad your parents are okay

[dacora]

missys I'm over here giggling at your (what I'm assuming is) a Swype fail. "Words of engorgement" indeed

[hollydfromtn]

DS has officially found his toes and I just think it's the cutest thing ever. Every time we lay him on his back his hands automatically grab them now. He was even doing it during his bath last night and then dropping them down to splash.

Ha! I'm leaving it. Clearly I've typed engorgement more than encouragement lately......FTM problems

[mamabutt2]

Ugh. Its raining.....again. Oklahoma will just be a massive lake instead of a state by the time this is all said and done.

LO is going to the in laws after I spend some time with him after work. DH was gonna drop him off there at 1 but I won't get off work til 3. I was in tears thinking about going 24 hours without that little guy so I convinced him to wait until 4. I at least want to nurse him before he goes. I feel this is much harder for me than it will be for him lol But I will be so excited to get a full nights sleep tonight after DH and I's anniversary festivities! ?
