DH took LO at night, so I have no idea how they did. Although, DS always wakes up maybe half- hourly since we put him to sleep at 7pm. Usually he'd be good after 9.30pm. Not sure how to fix that.
I slept 6 hours continuously. Now my boobs are soooooooo full, waiting for DS to wake up to nurse and snuggle.
Shitstorm at work, a bunch of people laid off. I suspect I'm safe because of maternity leave. There was a transition plan for me to take over stuff in my new role, but that person got axed. Woot?
No real spam here today. Lunch with a friend a little later. I spent way too much time last night reading the thread on may15. I really should have been sleeping because DD was bright eyed at 5am! It's now almost 9 and she hasnt napped yet. I'm going to need all the wine tonight!
Also, so glad you ladies are not crazy like some of those ass hats on may15.
DS had shots yesterday. He has had a fever of above 100.5 for 12 hours. I am giving Tylenol as often as possible. He's not eating as much as normal. Should I put a call in to the pedi? I probably will I just don't want to be an annoying FTM. He has not done this with previous shots.
I think I would. Just to note it on his file. It is normal for little ones to have a fever and feel bleh for a couple days. My first was like that. And its good just to note it with the pedi.
What the heck is "speed probe" that May15 is referring to?
I think it is some kind of 'mega thread' on their private board. The group of bad apples over there started it and used it to make fun of other M15 members.

Not exaggerating, we were up every single damn hour last night until 4:45 (then H left for work so I pulled LO into bed with me and we slept until 7). My goal is to nap today.

Ugh! Gotcha. Yeah I remember M15 being a bunch of drama on TD when we were all pregnant. I used to lurk that one. I have said this before and I will say it again, F15 has been and always was mostly awesome. I hope I am not jinxing us by saying that though. lol.

I don't understand why grown women can be such drama lamas. I got enough of that in high school. No reason to carry that over into grownup life. Anywho no spam for me today. Just hanging out at the house and watching tons of Netflix.
Well, she slept for a whole 15 minutes. Now she is all smiles and giggles. At least she's in a good mood. We are watching teen mom 2 marathon until I have to get ready to go out for lunch.
Morning! DS is on day 2 of more aggressive eczema treatment and his skin is already looking better! I hope it sticks! The bad part is he is super greasy and cause I am always holding him I am super greasy. Anything to make this better for him though!
DH and I are going to take the munchkins to the splash pad today and next week we are going to try the public pool. I cant believe I haven't been yet.
Hi ladies, I haven't been on in awhile but I missed this board!
Hope everyone is hanging in there!
@miniwheat We are also dealing with eczema (on a scale of 1-10, I give it a 6 most days and 7-8 on bad days). Curious as to what new treatment you're using? Our dr has us using hydrocortisone on the bad spots and we do the normal daily stuff I.e. Baths, creams etc

I think we might be close to beating the sleep regression. Brady has only been getting up once a night for the last week until last night. He was a rock star last night! He fought sleep and didn't go to bed until 10 but he slept until 7:45! I then fed him and he went back to sleep at 8:30 until 10:30! This mommy is happy. I did wake up and pump at 4:30, but it was worth it because I slept better.
I may have to check out the M15 drama. I am such a sucker for drama, but this sounds like it will piss me off. I can't deal with people making fun of kids.

DS is using hydrocortisone as lotion for 2 weeks. 2 times a day. Liberal application over full body. 2 other times a day we are using Bactroban on the areas that are infected. After 2 weeks we drop the bactroban and use the HC on the spots that are read and flaking. For baths we use Dove Sensitive bar soap. For normal lotion when we arent doing full body HC we use Cetaphil Restoraderm.
Our good days are about a 6 or 7. On bad days his skin is so tender and dry it cracks and bleeds. It is so hard to watch him try and scratch and get relief. He has it full body except his diaper area and the skin around his eyes.
Back from appointment. Felt so much more comfortable with this pedi. She actually did a full exam and asked me questions about dd's development. The other doc was in and out in about 3 or 4 minutes. She was up a little from her appointment on 6/16. She had moved from 12lb8oz to 12lb 13oz. Not good by any means, but she had moved up instead of down. We are going to start supplementing more with bm 2-3 times a day because apparently I make skim milk lol. If nothing improves with that method by next Thurs, then we will run blood work.
She brought up something I hadn't thought of before, and that was my growth as an infant and my husband's. DH was born at 10lb 10oz but then we joke that he didn't grow again until high school. Apparently he was a super slow gainer as well, so that may just be what we have as well. It was just comforting to know I wasn't crazy to be concerned.
Going to Nordstrom today to get Bachelorette party gifts for my friend. It's our 5 year anniversary tomorrow, so maybe I should get a new nightgown too. We already decided our gifts were new running shoes (lol romantic), so this can be a fun surprise for H.
We're going away for the weekend with DS. Gotta pack all the baby shizz.
osumegs so glad you found a better doc! It can be hard for the pump to get out that good fatty hindmilk (and apparently hard for your LO to get it too!). Assume you're already doing warm compresses before pumping and breast massage during, but just in case, I've heard that helps.
I just realized I have nothing to eat for lunch. Opened the freezer & saw the box of frozen corn dogs we keep on hand for the nephews. I can't make myself do it. Ugh corn dogs. Someone bring me some lunch. I'll put your baby down for his/her next nap.

THANK YOU. Some of DH's friends have wives that are the most catty bitches I have ever met in my life and I absolutely refuse to play their little game. It's not really that I refuse, my personality just does not comprehend drama and being fake. I feel bad for DH because I never really want to go out with just those girls. We have nothing in common to talk about.
Sounds like I have missed a lot over the past couple days. I hope everyone's families are doing good. i have to dive back into work. We have been so busy this week and I don't think it is ever going to end.
lilyelayne and @april rose I used bad wording there. She's primarily bf as she is just learning bottles. So my body is kicking it out skim. BUT I am pumping more now so I'll have to try that. Thank you both! And I'd imagine compresses would work for feedings, too!
