Morning. I turned the monitor down further than I thought so I didn't hear DD when she woke up in the middle of the night (she will wake up, talk, and put herself back to sleep) so I had the best bight sleep I have had in weeks. 1 part feeling bad 4 parts not lol.
Sorry for all those with a rough night sleep. I hope you get enough caffeine an/or naps to make it through the day.
emilyz320 hugs that really does suck. I totally agree with you on the listening /waiting for her to fall back asleep I do that all the time. That sounds like a really unusual behavior for your H from your comments. Was something else bugging him? Was he really more upset that you were still in bed and he had to get up? Does he wake up every time you do? Not that any of that matters but it may help get to the bottom of the frustration /tension so you guys can move forward.

We had my son's first high school football scrimmage last night. About 20 minutes into the scrimmage, he was finally on the field. After about 3 plays, the skies unloaded and a huge thunderstorm hit. Oh well, hopefully I will get to see him play at Friday's scrimmage.
Today we have decided to have a lazy day. Brady was exhausted from getting up early this week, so he slept wonderfully last night. I had super angry boobs this morning.
emilyz320 those nights are the worse and DH is not helping. Internet hugs! DH can be that way with me. He loves to hover and critique how I can do things differently. He never did any of this until we got married and it's extremely frustrating. I just side eye him and he starts to get the point to shut his trap.
ace226 I love snuggling with DS too but, I never sleep good at all.
toadandbuggie I think I read somewhere that they want you to wean before bedtime to prevent tooth decay problems. But, of course your LO needs teeth to worry about that. I could be wrong but, I thought I saw that somewhere.
mrsclark731 I agree with PP AF. I feel like I am 15 years old again. My AF definitely toned done over the years. I guess pregnancy = reset button on AF.
@hollyfromtn I love co sleeping but, I don't sleep well at all. DH is a big guy and its tight with all three of us in a California king bed.
WittyLittle 3 cycles my @$$! I just got through #4 and it's not getting any better. Maybe I will call the doctor.
emilyz320 dh was definitely not cool on that. I second others that maybe it was sleep deprivation. Hopefully you all can have a talk about it tonight.
toadandbuggie I agree on the cosleeping. Dd won't do it at all except for afternoon naps. Sometimes it would be nice, but I'm not sure I'd ever be comfortable. WittyLittle I think your neighbor owes you a ton!
missys that's totally your fault. I don't know why you wouldn't think it was!
emilyz320 what a bad start after a bad night. If it's not a pattern of behavior I'd probably chalk it up to bad night grumpiness, act like normal, see if he apologizes. If later this evening (not right when he gets home) I was still upset & he hadn't brought it up, I probably would just so it wouldn't be gnawing at me. toadandbuggie night weaning advice seems to vary doctor to doctor. Sometimes it's recommended with the reasoning that once a child gets to X weight they no longer need it (though this may be a holdover from the same school of though that brought us X weight means start solids no matter what LO's age). Sometimes it's about teeth health (brush teeth after every feeding & highly likely you won't do this MOTN). But there are plenty of pedis that say if LO is hungry feed on demand no matter what time the clock says. WittyLittle read a post partum blog in which the author said tampons just didn't fit right after pregnancy / birth so she switched to a reusable cup (like divacup). Unrelated, glad your neighbor is okay! michelle142 I don't even like the kids pants that look like that, much less the adult version.
lilyelayne how is your pup today after eating a corn cob?
Thus far normal. She has a doggie door into a fenced yard so she does her own thing. She got up to see off DH when he left for work, so I spied out the window on her. No bowel movement but she didn't attempt it, just peed and came back inside, checked on the baby, and got back in bed with me per her usual routine. In good spirits, no tenderness when I press on her abdomen, no weird distended belly or anything. Thanks for asking. I'm trying not to be a nervous wreck about it. She doesn't get table scraps, and her getting into the trash is super rare.
lilyelayne glad to hear it. Just watch for vomiting. If she isn't vomiting you can be pretty sure she is fine.
Awesome. Thanks. Glad to hear what to watch for from a professional! She's drinking water like normal, and it's been 12 hours since she ate the corn cob, so hopefully she's okay.
mrsclark731, we are period buddies, how awesome. I hate it. I hate it I hate it I hate it! For the first time in my life I'm wearing a super sized tampon and last night I still leaked through it. 8 hours my ass. Luckily I'm going to the gyno on Tuesday. I'll take him by the collar and shake him about and demand answers. This is not funny.
The search for neighbour man almost ended up in a missing person's report. He wasn't answering his phone, but his ex managed to track him down through his office. He's in Thailand and his phone doesn't have coverage (apparently, hehe i still think he just didn't want to talk to his ex) so he was only reachable by email the whole time. I shall be slapping him across the face with a dead fish when he returns for scaring me and making me clean up maggots all of Sunday! YUCK!
Add me to the period buddies list.. this sucks. Ugh

Spam today... It's beautiful out. We may head to the amusement park later. DSD1 now likes the big coasters and wants to ride and since DH Hayes coasters, we will be riding and he will be on baby duty. Yay me.. I don't know how AF will do with it so I'll be extra diapered up lol.
're: co-sleeping I fully enjoy it. DH and I are pretty small so there's plenty of space and DD doesn't sleep under/on me until she's nursing after that she rolls over and sleeps in her spot. Granted she's only in our bed after 2/3am til 6/7
're MOTN feedings: DD pedi says since I'm SAHM to feed DD on demand even in the middle of the night until she weans herself off the feedings
Had to be at school for two meetings first thing, so in my rush to get ready, get the baby strapped in and out the door, I left my breastshield parts at home (brought everything else). One Target run later and I have a set to keep at school and a set I swear I'm leaving in the car. Sucks that I had to buy a set of M and a set of L, but that just means I have two spare sets. Silver lining?
Because of the meetings and my forgetfulness, I haven't done a single thing in my room to prepare for next week. And as soon as I'm done pumping a bunch of us are going to lunch. I don't have the motivation to care...
(Insert Office Space gif: "I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working.") My gif game is off today.
Uhh I had a WTF experience at the pediatricians' office this morning. The (male) PA referred to my son's genitals as "Ralph, Louie, and the Hammer"....whaaat?

DH is on his man period again.ugh.. I'm starting to believe they exist. He's been all angry ragey poopy all morning. We just picked up DSD1 and I ask if he minds stopping for food my treat. He gets hormonal and says you're gonna have to cause I'm flat broke.. well sir if you didn't have spend $40 to get things at the auto parts store to change the oil in something you don't even drive and if you wouldve let me pay for lunch yesterday and DDs wipes etc on Monday you would be a ok... So I'm guessing the park is out even though we have PAID FOR season passes and NEVER eat in the park... Ugh sorry rant over

I am dying over here. I mean, no, it's ridiculous that a health care professional didn't feel like he could say penis & testicles, but his choice of euphemism is hysterical.
AF note: still haven't gotten mine and it's been about a month since I weaned. Um, normal, or should I POAS??? *nervous sweats*
I never got mine and I weaned over 3mo ago! I do have mirena though. I poas last weekend (it was neg) so I would stop being paranoid. I was kind of sad when it was negative even though I know we can't have another one for a while.

Erm, my son is currently arguing with his stuffed toy. I think he's winning. In any case it's been 20 minutes and I've not had to intervene or sing any songs so I'll take it.
Thanks everyone! We chatted for a min about it this morning. I let him know it wasn't cool and he said he was just trying to tell me that he would feed her if I didn't want to, and made me feel like I was being silly. Which I'm not. Apparently when you only get a couple hours of sleep you can disregard thinking about how you speak to someone else, according to dh. He is just being a dick because he's tired. I forget who asked but yes this is out of character for him. The conversation will continue tonight I guess.
