Tuesday is a jolly good day for spamming

[PikoPiko]

You know you want to.

[PikoPiko]

DH just gave me a quick massage on my shoulders, I now feel less broken. I knew there was a reason I married him!

[anchovies]

Go DH PikoPiko! A good massage does wonders

[anchovies]

DS woke up 1, and I just now got him to lay back down. I think he knew I was trying to head to a barre class before work. Now, I think I need to cancel and just sleep.

[jensoprano82]

Feeding LO his dream feed and hoping he gives me a good nights sleep.

My spam: I have together a dental implant this week and the extraction is an IV sedation surgery. Uuuuuuuugh. Happily my DH is being a trooper and will take care of the nugget all day. I guess I should just enjoy being taken care of!

PikoPiko and anchovies where y'all at? It's only midnight here

[PikoPiko]

Sounds like the same coast as you! Seattle, jensoprano82. Good luck with all that dental work.

DS woke up just now wanting a feed. I often wonder if I'm feeding him too much, he's gained 6.5lbs since his 2 mo check up. He'll be 4 months in a few days. I guess I should ask the doc that at his next check up. DS is at 18lbs now, my arms are about to fall off from holding him.

Now time to snooze. I'm sure I'll be back again in 3-4 hours time for the MOTN feed.

DS woke up at 4 to eat, which he hasn't done in a while, but I'm glad he waited until we were home not on vacation.

I hate that I have no idea if his room is actually warmer than usual when I come in at night (or early morning) to feed him, because I'm hot flashing like mad. I always think no wonder he woke up, it's 1000° in here, but then he's not warm to the touch. One day my hormones will re-regulate, though I (irrationally?) fear I'll have hot flashes for AF forever.

[lilyelayne]

jensoprano82 I know you have one of the oldest babies & I have one of the youngest, but my gut reaction to your solids thread was "my baby isn't even 3 months old!" Haha. Though if I left him unsupervised with my grandmother, I guarantee she'd be feeding him mashed overripe banana. She claims I should've started at 4 weeks to make him smart

[aggiebug]

Well hello. I think the sun is waking up DD earlier than I would like. I guess it is time to actually put her curtains together. They were on my list to get done before she was born but she came 3 weeks early. Hopefully I can get them done this week. My ILs leave this morning. Yay!

[anchovies]

jensoprano82 I live in Ohio. It was 3am for me when I posted easier. Good luck at the dentist! I loathe and fear the dentist.

This is my in laws. I'm excited to let DS try solids soon but they were making comments about how he doesn't seem full enough on formula and always ask when we will start solids.

[PikoPiko]

DS cried at 3.30am. I picked him up and put a pacifier in his mouth. He fell back asleep after a couple minutes, then I waited 20mins before I transferred him back into his crib. Normally I would have nursed him. His last feed was 12.30am.

Now I can't sleep cos I feel like I did an evil thing denying him milk.

[flyster]

I got some baby snuggles this morning. DS has been sleeping very well in the Merlin Suit in his own room, but his little hands were FREEZING at 4 for his MOTN feed (only 1!) So i brought him back in bed with us. Might have to turn up the heat again tonight if it stays this cold, which its supposed to. Its June! Crazy talk. We put an air conditioner in his room because a week ago it was over 80 degrees. This weather is nuts.

I have an intern starting today. His mom is on a council that donates alot of money/organizes events for my non-profit so I can't be evil to him. Kidding, I"m super nice to my interns. Its crazy now that I am more then 10 years older then them. When did that happen?? I mean I guess I have a child now so that shouldn't be too surprising, yet somehow it is. Most of the day is pretty shot with on boarding, but I actually feel kindof caught up at work which never happens. I think I'm much more efficient now I have to leave right at 5 every day.

My theory is if he is truly hungry he won't be able to go back to sleep, at least that's how DS is. If he's hungry the paci just pisses him off. Don't feel bad.

I am having an implant and the extraction is in July! I am so scared but I am not allowed the IV sedation. They want me to be awake for it. Bleh. I am so worried I will freak out. I have to wait 6 months until the implant goes in.

[miniwheat]

We booked our Disney Hilton Head trip last night! I am so excited!

[hollydfromtn]

DH and I finally came to the conclusion that we can't afford me staying at home much longer. He makes enough to cover all of our expenses and that's about it. We have absolutely no wiggle room in our budget at all and we aren't able to start saving anything for a future down payment on a house. We decided that I can stay home until DS is at least 6 months but need to have something lined up for after that. So the hunt is on. Hopefully there will be a teacher's aide position post soon that I can apply for. I want to work part time for now but would love to get my foot in the door with the school system here so that I can hopefully teach in the near future.

[WittyLittle]

Morning all! DH wants to go rehearse with some rando Greek musicians because theyre apparently well known, so I said if he wants to go he has to arrange something for me to do. So he booked me a full mani pedi. Huzzaaaaaah!

DS started rolling on to his side last night. I woke up and his feet were resting on top of the crib bars. So cute in his tigger pjs!
Half way through our "holiday". ILs are behaving as their still shit scared from the hospital visit last month, but theyre constantly trying to "help". 7 days to the hour till we leave
Etc: smiley fail

[lilyelayne]

Congrats @holachica!!!
hollydfromtn I'm sorry you can't keep SAH if that's what you want to do. Hopefully you find something you like.
PikoPiko if LO had actually been hungry, he wouldn't've settled for the paci. You didn't deny him milk; you gave him sleep.

[michelle142]

Hello!

After my dentist appt yesterday, my front teeth are super sensitive. It's annoying. My coffee hurts my teeth and it's making me crabby.

[dacora]

DD is consistently rolling onto her side to sleep now. She still sleeps as much as she was before, so not really a huge change as far as it affecting the rest of us. She seems comfy though.

Not much else going on around here since we got back from our trip. My mom and one of her friends is coming over this afternoon, I'm waiting for DD to succumb to the sleepy sway of the swing so I can hop in the shower.

[michelle142]

@holachica congrats on the job offer!!

[michelle142]

DD started rolling in both directions over Memorial Day weekend. Now she rolls to her belly at night. It makes me nervous, but she sleeps so much better on her belly (just like DS did).

[miniwheat]

Congrats on the offer @holachica
I hope you find something part time you really like hollydfromtn

[mishka29]

I'm so upset this morning. There was an incident at DD1's daycare yesterday involving a kid in her room. When the dad showed up for pickup they couldn't find her. The subs in the room were clueless. Well after a search they finally located her locked in the toy shed outside. She had probably been there for 20-30 mins since they had all returned inside. Fucking disgusting. That poor little girl. Just thinking about it makes me mad.

Oh my gosh!!! I can't imagine being that dad and hearing they didn't know where my daughter was. Poor girl must have been terrified locked in a shed all alone.

Me too! Six months with no tooth there? I'm not happy.

Honestly I started the thread because I was like "I can't solids he's just a tiny newborn baby....!"

Mine is a back molar so no one can see its not there, but I need to let the bone regrow with a graft before they can place the implant. Has your experience been ok so far?

Echoing flyster, my LO's hands and face get so cold every night now that he's not swaddled. My house is at 70 degrees F, so I know it's not too cold, but it breaks my heart when he wakes up for the middle of the night feed and he's cold to the touch. I don't know about mittens because he sucks on his hands/fingers.

If it's not waking him up I wouldn't fret about it. Their hands and feet are the first things to get cold. DD wears footie pj's most of the time but her hands are cool. If it is any warmer she wakes up sweaty.
