Hi ladies I hope you are all enjoying the holiday! Lo's face looks a little better this morning after a dose of benadryl last night...so I was hoping a side benefit of the benadryl would be a little extra sleep since the nurse warned it would make him drowsy....nope he was up every two hours on the dot like normal. I didn't mind because I was worried about him so I just enjoyed the snuggles.
We have no exciting plans today beyond working on our house and hanging out with lo. I have a crazy busy work week headed my way so I'm trying to prepare for that.
That's good news that the swelling went down spikesmom! Our Memorial Day shenanigans sound the same as yours, just hanging out and working on/around the house. Baby doesn't want to be put down, even for a second- so there's more hanging out with baby than working going on, which is fine by me! She's a little fussy and I think that right bottom tooth is about to bust through...though I think I've been saying that for two weeks now
LO has been surprising us with her eating this weekend. Took an 8 oz bottle for bedtime last night. She normally eats 5-6 oz. This morning, she took 6 oz plus rice cereal and sweet potato. Then she watched us eat cherries and just STARED at us. I pitted two cherries and cut them in half for her mesh feeder. She seemed to enjoy it as her dad held the feeder for her.
spikesmom so happy to hear your lo is feeling better! I feel you on the every two hour wake up every night, mine does it to the minute sometimes :confused: zengal I have been saying the same thing about lo's teeth...any day now, ya not so much! gldnbearz awe, hungry girl! Love how interested in food lo has become!
My lo seems to finally be feeling better with that Damn ear Infection, thank god. It has been the longest, hardest 4 days ever around here. It was so nice to just be able to put her down for a few minutes today to give my arms a rest! Went to my brothers for some lunch and had so much fun. Lo was the only kiddo there and got tons of attention and love from everyone (and I got a nice break too!)

Been a little MIA the past few days, hope everyone is doing well. I'm not this poison ivy is kicking my a**. I've washed everything and it just keeps spreading. I tried a smelly wash that gets rid of the oil, cortisone, calamine lotion, another smelly analgesic spray, prescription steroid cream, Claritin and jumping into my parents freezing cold pool (it's not pool weather here yet!). The itch is crazy!! I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy. My doctor said I could take Benadryl before I told her I was still nursing.....being that my Mikey turned seven months today and I was hardly producing anything anymore I've decided to hang up the pump and take the little pink pill. Makes me a bit of a sad monkey, like I don't want to be done yet but my body just is, so I'm going to just grin and bear it.....and AW my little cutie while I'm at it.
spikesmom I'm glad LOs face looks better and that you got some extra snuggles in. zengal I hope you're enjoying your snuggles and hopefully that tooth breaks through soon. We're still toothless over here. gldnbearz I'm glad LO is eating so well and interested in solids. kfaye glad the ear infection is getting better and that you were able to see family. littleapplemom don't feel bad, you have done an amazing job making it such a long time breastfeeding! I hope that Benadryl does the trick for you. Miley is such a cutie!!
I haven't been around much the past few days. Work was pretty busy towards the end of the week and then just enjoyed the weekend with my husband and LO. DH had to go to work today which was a bummer but OT is nice I guess. and I got to spend an extra day with C so I can't complain too much. I hope everyone is having a great evening! Or sleeping well for those on the east coast.
littleapplemom Oh my goodness we're all so proud of you; I'm certain!! It's a cost/benefit thing- it seems really worth it to take care of the itchies and keep your sanity.
Also, I'm drinking a lot of wine right now so I'm full of love for you and for EVerybody- but that does nothing to negate the sentiment that you are a damn good mom. 'Cos you are.
