I forgot to mention earlier, DD was better yesterday. So all I have to do is find a friends house to hang out at and she behaves. Lol
We find B is so much better when we go out! He likes the car/stroller, and for some reason behaves in front of other people and saves the tantrums (can you call them that at 6 weeks) for mom and dad. We take him everywhere, so much better than being cooped up with a screaming baby.
Same here. He is much more calm when we are out and about.
Baby was awake from 8pm to 3:30am last night. Whhyyyyyyy??? How is it possible for him to stay awake that long yet? He slept for three hours then woke up ravenous. Fell back asleep after he ate for another hour then woke up and wanted to eat again. Kid. Get it together. I'm tired.
Ugh, that sounds like hell. I'm sorry. Not quite as bad, but lately A has been waking up at 1am and refusing to go back to sleep until around 4am. Then she'll only sleep if she's on my chest which makes for some very uncomfortable sleep for me. I hope your little one doesn't make a habit of this.
Our friends who just moved back from California are coming over tonight and I'm dreading it. Ever since J was born, I haven't wanted to do any entertaining at all. I don't want to stress about the house, I don't want to stress about what to wear, or if they're going to be shocked at my pregnancy weight gain. It doesn't help that my friend is extremely gorgeous in that "effortless" punk glamour kinda way. She's a higher up at MAC, so maybe she'll bring me makeup? We used to bond over being like each other... Now I'm just a blob in yoga pants. I don't even know what we'll talk about. "Oops, so my tiny human spit up on your immaculate $600 black shirt." I told H the most effort I'll put into this visit is a shower and that I'll be here.
You are not a blob, and if you must think of yourself as one, then you're a beautiful sexy kickass momma blob. That's what DH tells me anyways when I say I'm a blob. Lol. It helps. But yeah, none of my friends have kids yet, so they're always put together and gorgeous and well dressed. I count it as a win that I've showered this week and actually brushed my hair.
Random question but does anyone know of any pre-prepared food delivery services. My mom is recovering from a stroke and dad is her only caregiver. She has been homebound for two years now- can't walk. He is very very stubborn asking for help. They have been getting take out a lot! I want to find something healthier for them that can be delivered weekly. Blue apron wouldn't work because dad has zero cooking skills (I mean zero)! Any ideas?
I haven't caught up but have they looked into Meals on Wheels?
Thanks to the ladies who said to wake up DH. I finally did, and he apologized. I think his blood sugar is high and I'm trying to convince him to go to the doc and maybe get his meds adjusted. He's been super tired and irritable lately, even though he's getting plenty of sleep since I'm doing all the motn stuff with Teagan.
Teagan is having a rough day. She's been super fussy since about 8am and she's spitting up more than usual. She hasn't pooped in nearly 3 days. She'll only sleep on my chest today, so we're cuddled together on the couch. Poor thing. I hope her reflux isn't getting worse.

I think I may have found another daycare for O. They have 1 spot available in the baby room which means we could get him in immediately and I could go back to work full time. Going to tour it tomorrow after his hip ultrasound. Hoping this is the place we are looking for!
ampaints, thanks for thinking of me. My kindergartners gave me a warm welcome back along with my coworkers. I was so busy that they day flew by.
Pumping was an adventure. I am doing it in a closet/ tiny office. It was crammed full of stuff and hot. It will get easier. I just forgot now awkward pumping is away from your own home.
Well we went to the pedi today for DD2's rash. She said it looks like the rash formula fed babies get when they have a milk protein allergy. So given DD1's milk-soy protein intolerance, we're thinking that's what it is. Goodbye cheese and ice cream At least I'm prepared after doing this for 9 months with DD1, but I'm still pretty upset. I love my dairy products. FX she's not as sensitive and only reacts to obvious dairy and not hidden and trace dairy like DD1.

Well after about four to five hours of fussy only comsolable by nursing baby I finally got him to fall asleep on my chest while rocking him. Poor kiddo. I think gas and cluster feeding at the same time or something. This is the firs time he's been this inconsolable. Peaceful time now, save for the headache I have. Had one yesterday too. I am hoping it's just lack of sleep. Going to rest as much as I can while he is.

I went for a long walk with E today while DS1 was at pre-school. Two of my friends invited me to separate fitbit challenges and I am winning both currently! Bo-Ya!

How was his neuro appointment?
Nothing to worry about. They think it was just due to his placement in the womb and not his plates fusing too soon. He's got a follow up in 2 months just to check.

I need to AW my husband for a second. If you remember, I've been having problems with him being a big man child, not wanting to work, help around the house, and basically being a second baby. Well since we moved and he started his new job he's like a completely different person! He's much happier, goes to work without complaint, and even helps around the house now. I just got off the phone with him, today is his fourth day of work and he called to tell me that he's at the top of the leader board! Apparently no new person has ever been at the top so quick. This is awesome cause of you're at the top its very easy to move up quickly. The higher-ups are always looking at who their best workers are. I'm so stinkin proud of him! I knew there was a grownup in there somewhere (:

I have had this relentless headache. I don't remember what it feels like to NOT have one. Today it seems like it's worse than it has been. I'm thinking it's from the epidural. I am going to call my doctor in the morning.

I feel ya. It's been five weeks since I delivered but I have had raging headaches the past two days. I think it is Moreso lack of sleep/dehydration. So I'm trying to drink more water and nap more. Hopefully it will improve for both of us.

For sure. At first I thought it was dehydration. I've been making sure to drink extra water and it doesn't help. I have been making sure I drink well over 100 oz of water a day..not counting anything else I drink. Mine has been pretty much since a few days after birth.
Ok so Jake feels super secure in the K'TAN and I even breastfed him WHILE he was in it and tied my hair back and put on a little makeup bc in laws and made lunch. What a lifesaver! He wouldn't tolerate his RNP after being in this for hours the last few days. But it seems like he's super low. I know the say "close enough to kiss", and I can kiss him if I lean forward quite a bit. Did I maybe get the wrong size? *snip*
He does look very low.. when I use my ktan, on both kids, they're closer to my collar bone area and all I have to do is tilt my head down a little and I can kiss their head.
Same here - My k'tan is a smaller size than what I usually wear and her head is always up by my collar bone.
Does it feel pretty tight when you put him in? Can you pull the tab down in the back to make the "x" lower on your back? It may help him sit up higher in the front. There's a good video I found on youtube about situating an infant in the k'tan...tapatalk doesn't like me when I try to link, but let me try.
