We're back to waking every hour or two. Put him in this "perfect peanut" swaddle thing and woke up to him gagging/choking. I think it made it so he couldn't turn his head so he was choking on spit up. That was terrifying it didn't seem tight on him but it goes right up to the chin. Now we're up nurse while I try to figure out what to put him to sleep in. Eta: for reason why he was choking.

Woke up to pump to find that there was a tornado warning in my area that expired and hour earlier. Thankfully it seems the damage is further east and we still have power. I will cry if our power goes out and my 20 bags of bm goes bad!
Just tried to give N a pacifier as soon as I took him off of my boob. Lord, I wish I could have gotten a photo. You'd think I just put dog shit in his mouth lol

Really sorry about your migraine.. Had my first one since he was born yesterday and it's definitely for the birds:(

I'm here with you. I need to pick up something stronger than Tylenol. I hope yours goes away soon!

Is it bad that I'm downstairs pumping, hoping A will wake DH up so he'll bring her down to feed her? I feel like it's total bs that I'm the one who always has to get up in the middle of the night to feed her.
We had been doing a feed at 2 and one at 5. I did 2, DH did 5, but now that we're letting her wake up on her own at night, it's more like 3 or 4 and yet I'm still the one who has to get up. Plus pump. Last night was great because she screamed the whole time I changed her and woke him up, so he fed her while I pumped.
Currently up pumping. My output today has been absolutely worrisome. I'm kind of wondering if this has to do with the fact that this is when my period normally would be. I haven't been pumping but once a day the last two weeks but today, pumping from one side while I nursed from the other for every feeding I've only managed to get 7 oz! I need 20 for early Saturday!

Started out with C on my chest, tried putting him in the rnp but he wasn't having it, so I moved him to the bed next to me. I really didn't wanna cosleep this time around but it seems to be all that is working.
6.5 hours! YESSSSSSS. Not that she intends to go back to sleep now but hey.
I always leak from the side I'm not nursing so I fold a burp cloth in half and stick it in my shirt. I just soaked both layers of the burp cloth, my tank, my tshirt and her onesie. Impressive stuff boob, impressive stuff.

Suction without saline = banshee screams with nothing to show for it. Suction WITH saline = bloody murder shrieking to wake the neighbors, but she hasn't sounded this clear in weeks. No congestion. Let's keep this up, shall we?
11p-4:30a!!!! She woke up to nurse but I just got her from her swing & put her next to me. This is a miracle for my baby who never sleeps more than 2 hours at a time.
We had a 1030 to 415! Then it was a party from 415 til 630...then back to sleep til 815.
That was us, I was like wooooo look at all this sleep! Then we were up from 3:15-5:15, then she woke up again at 6, but went down when I nursed her until 8:30. Too bad I didn't get to go back to bed.

6 week growth spurt. This shit is no joke. I am so drained but can't sleep when LO goes to sleep. WTF? And hello? Will I ever be able to eat onions again? The gas is ridiculous and disgusting. Poor DH. I'm a whole lotta fun tonight, I know.
Packed up the kids and myself to go visit my mom for the today and tomorrow. We went to the movies to see Hotel Transylvania 2. DD loved it and M slept the whole time. My mom held the baby and I snuggled with DD, I think she really needed some "one on one." As close as we can get right now anyway. Tomorrow we are going to my grandparents for my grandpa's 80th birthday. Hopefully having all the extra hands for DS will allow DD and I to play some more and help her behavior.
Soooo I didn't know that you are supposed to use saline before trying to suction out boogers. No wonder I can't get anything out. Looks like I'll be stopping by Walgreens on my way home tomorrow. Terrible mom award goes to me today.
Taking A in to the pediatrician in the morning about her sutures. Maybe they can give me some saline to get me through.
My pediatrician said you can easily make saline by using 1/4 teaspoon of table salt with a cup of warm water. Just one drop in each nostril. The tricky part is dropping it in. I didn't have a dropper so I used the oral syringe and that just water boarded her. I ended up getting the saline drops anyways

Slept on the sofa from 930 to 1 with baby on my chest. Now we're nursing and praying I'll be able to lay him down. Ran into H in the hallway and he said dd is up and down so no point in him leaving her room either. I kissed him and said one day we'll share a bed again. ;-)

I took DS to an osteopath today. He is developing a flat spot on the right side of his head where we hold him so the lady recommended a specific sleep position for the next two week. She also started us working on relieving his gas. I don't want to jinx it but DS has been asleep in his crib since 8:30 waking up only once to eat and went right back down. This is huge him sleeping through his witching hours!!

I seriously considered making my own, but I was worried about it being sterile enough. The last thing she needs is a sinus infection to turn into an ear infection to turn into a shunt infection. I think the drops were like $2 so it's well worth it for the sanity.
