Today I had to an appointment in genetics. I never mentioned but I have a genetic disorder called Neurofibromatosis and I have to do yearly check ups. I have a mild case. My children have a 50-50 chance of getting it. Isaac was tested and he doesn't have it. Ethan hasn't been tested. I'm hoping they will just do it while We are there (simple blood test) but I am about 95% sure he has it. One of the symptoms are cafe au lait spots or birthmarks and he's developed them. He has about 10 of them that have shown up since birth.

The past week has been terrible. Henry went from sleeping 4 hour stretches at night to only giving me 2 hour stretches. He also started refusing to let me lay him down. I'm exhausted. DH has been no help, due to his work schedule. Please tell me it's just a growth spurt and he'll go back to sleeping?
On a happier note.. I'm planning on making chicken pot pie for dinner tonight, with a rhubarb pie for dessert. Hoping the kids cooperate so I can get it done.
DHs coworker wants me to start babysitting his almost 3yr old little girl in December. I'm considering it for the extra cash. I think I'm crazy.

Poor babe majorly spitting up. Happened that our last couple feet yesterday, but then she was fine on the overnight Feeds. Darn oversupply and crazy let down. I'm watching it today and plan on calling nurse line if it keeps up. She's so uncomfortable when it happens.
Low key day for us. May run some errands late morning and get our walk in late afternoon.

mommabakes hugs to you. Maybe you can get a nap! Dinner sounds delicious!
runningmommy519 do you mind if I ask what would it mean for E if he has the disorder?
I've been debating if I should take Miles to the pediatrician about reflux. He doesn't always spit up, but many times I can hear him seem to swallow it down. He's fussy and arches his back about half of the time. I'm considering trying the AR formula first.
It's my birthday! My husband got me a mug with pictures of the baby on it.
He also showed me a ring he wanted to buy, but we learned years ago he is terrible at buying jewelry. It was really ugly. He wanted to buy something with peridot (for her)and sapphire(for me), just not a cute combo.
How do I tell him, nicely, that my birthday is mine and does not have to be completely baby centered? Every minute of my day is focused on her, I'd like to be treated as a human that has something to offer besides a baby. Ugh.

Happy birthday! I hope you enjoy some time to yourself today.
Id tell him that you had something else in mind and suggest a gift! Haha I only get a birthday gift if I buy it for myself. My DH is just not a gift buyer and rarely plans ahead.
Soo over DH being away. My mom has been amazingly helpful but at the end of the day I just want him here. Hes trying to only work half a day friday and will hopefully be home around noon.
Happy birthday 2dumbdogs. I would just be blunt and say your birthday doesnt have to be centered on baby but on you. Nothing wrong with feeling that way.
My milk supply is dwindling. I am ok with this.
this might be flame worthy but i just had my very first psl from starbucks and i dont see what all the rave is about, its too sweet. I will stick with my pumpkin spice coffee from wawa.

I really treat psl like a dessert or sweet. It cannot count as my morning "i need this to function" coffee.
The swing batteries have died. This is a tragedy. E & I will be walking to the store in a few mins to solve this problem.
She's sitting in her RnP now (also no batteries) while I get ready. I put it near the window so she could look out but she is leaning her head all the way back to stare at the ceiling fan instead.

babies LOVE fans. Cheapest entertainment ever for them.

Running out of batteries is a rookie mistake. I suggest adding them to your Amazon subscribe and save. Never worry about running out again.

Happy birthday @2dunbdogs!
I tandem nursed my kiddos this morning. We've done short sessions a couple other times but my dd would be done right away...this morning she really nursed. And dammit my phone was too far away from me for a pic because she held her brothers hand and it melted my heart!
So i mentioned the other day that hubs was attempting to fix dryer. he put it all back together just now and it doesnt work. i find this hysterical after him running around for 2 days finding parts to replace and to fix himself. and we are still going to have to buy new. he is still trying to figure it out right now.
mommabakes,my baby is acting similarly. I've ended up sleeping with her skin to skin on my chest In a big chair the second half of the night, which I don't want to keep doing because it scares me.

Happy birthday! I would tell him what you told us. Nothing wrong with the way you feel.
@janetheconquerer ampaints apparently so! She generally likes to look everywhere except at me. The curtains in my bedroom are her favorite. I guess bc they're black & contrast with the light?
bibliothecary I know we have like 2 more sets of batteries somewhere but I have no idea where. We stocked up before E was born but can't find them now. I have added them though & will not make this mistake again!
