Sad bc it's almost night time. My SO will go to sleep in 2 hours and then I'll be up with baby at least until tmrw when he gets home. She's only slept 2 hours since waking up at 2 am... all in 20-30 min increments. So I've slept maybe 2 of the last 24 hours. I'm not sure how I'll make it all night & day tomorrow if she doesn't let me sleep soon

5 week growth spurt! I promise you will make it through it! It sucks a lot but you can do it!! Be kind to yourself
i whipped up some from shrunken wool sweater and old flannel sheet, stack two flannel layers on wool layer , stitch leavong opening to turn flannel layers to outside, i share your leak pattern, and these have worked well.
Amazing! I'll have to try that!
survived tge day, without one single wardrobe malfunction! Also Walmart sells an organic cotton pad that works nice!

Projectile vomit is such a distinct sound. And the gagging and, "ohhhh ohhhh ohhhh" of my H looking desperately frantic. Poor little O has had a rough day. Total of 3 spit ups/vomits and about 4 BMs. He's had enough to eat over the last 24 hours so I'm not worried about dehydration. At what point do I need to call the dr?

My child is fighting sleep. Attempting a feed to make her sleepy. Cooperate boob, no choking the baby and babe, let's sleep for a bit, mommy is exhausted.
runningmommy519 good for you! I meet cool moms on the playground sometimes and wish there was a way to follow up like that.
DH and I are sort of awkward about wanting couple friends who also have kids. We haven't really had "couple friends" since we moved a while back. We meet lots of people who seem nice, but, again it's hard to follow up
Am I really on the internet complaining how hard it is to make friends?

The majority of my mom friends were made at the hospital breastfeeding support group and we do at least monthly get togethers and a couple of others from the Breastfeeding USA chapter in my city. And 2 of them have become our 'couple' friends when we realized our h's would get along great too.
I am a bit emotional today. I'm just stressed. My insurance rate went up from $50/ pay period to $180. My H smokes (only outside, not in the house or cars) and the reasonable alternative we do to getting the discounted rate got messed up due to moving and me being in the hospital for migraines and child birth. So of course, my car breaks down, my dryer quits, and other crap along those lines. Plus, DD'S birthday is the beginning of Oct and we still need to figure out what the hell to do for her party.
Add all that on a baby who has refused to sleep more than 30 minutes at a time the last few days. Of course, he will sleep a little better on my chest and I can't sleep like that.
I've made some of my best friends through internet message boards. This place has been so valuable for me in getting honest feedback and not driving H crazy with pregnancy/baby stuff.

Some of the moms from DS1 BMB are my best friends. I've met some of them in real life. I also have friends I met from a weight watcher forum. Some of those girls I've known for 7 yrs. They've been with me since DH was a DBF.
Sometimes I wish I could be facebook friends with you all.
Ava refused to sleep in her swing this morning so is finally sleeping on me. This has been a trend lately. Fighting naps so hard!
My knees hurt, I have to pee, my upper body is cold, and I want to sleep. But I'm scared to move at all.
Caden fights his naps too. I am thankful though its only during the day and he sleeps at night.
+1 for knees hurting! They didnt hurt during pregnancy just after birth. I assumed it was just because i must be old.
My knees are clicking! Every time I go up stairs. We decided it is because I often nurse while sitting cross legged and I nurse a bazillion hours a day.

ETA: and by sometimes.... I mean frequently. Lol
I am fb friends with 1 person here so far. Hopefully we will all know each other well enough someday that it will feel comfortable to do that

It took us over 3 yrs but we finally did a fb group from my dds bmb. I'm not fb friends with everyone, just a few, but we all know everyone's real names now.

Sitting like that could be pulling your knee cap off center from the bone underneath. I went to an ortho doctor for knee clicking one time and while he didn't say sitting cross legged caused it, he told me to stop. I always have a leg tucked under me.

if its spit up i wouldnt worry too much. my doctor always told me that it looks like more spit up than it actually is. some babies just spit up more than others. if its actual vomit than call nurses line. otherwise if baby is fever free i wouldnt take to doctor. but if baby has a temp higher than 99 i would go to doctor.

Under 97 is also worth at least a call to the doctor. Inability to maintain temp can be a sign of something going on too
+1 to befriending y'all on social media.. I'm not shy so let me know if you want to be my FB friend. I also have a highly entertaining Instagram for my Basset Hounds which Little A gets featured on frequently
i would totally friend you but the only other profiles i have are ravelry, and sparkpeople.

The idea that you all have real names kinda weirds me out. Like, I'd meet you IRL and you'd be like hi I'm Sara/Rachel/(insert normal name) and I'd be like whoa whoa no you're oopsiedaisies. GTFO.

That happened when I had some girls over for my shower. I tried to do real names. Didn't work.

My insta is LMcCarthy200 if anyone wants to add me it's a selection of baby girl photos and food pics, as that is now the extent of my life.
motownthrowdown I think it would throw me if I ever saw your real face. Every time I see Princess Leia now I think of you. Also, I'm so sorry your Mom doesn't respect your boundaries and how important it is that A get her entire feed. I would freak the f out on her.
amberlie wait a second... have you been cleared by the doctor yet? Your baby was one day before mine. Props to you though with a second degree tear.

I'd be totally down if some of us wanted to start a private Facebook group!

Therapy went well. Covered a lot of ground in one hour.
Came home and dh shoved a half empty bottle in my face. My mom had only given her 50 mls for dinner. She came home from the nicu on 60 mls. She normally eats 110 mls (just under 4 ounces). My mom said that A wasn't hungry and fell asleep.
This has cemented that my mom is an unacceptable option for any kind of long term daycare. One shortened feeding once on a while won't hurt, but this is unacceptable on a daily basis. I know any of you could have told me this, but I really thought she would FUCKING FEED HER INFANT GRANDDAUGHTER.
