Oh, this is nice. Found out my BIL was in a motorcycle accident (locked his brakes) of some sort on FB. I guess it happened on Sunday (I have him hidden from my news feed).

htuzzi324 what are you using for your cracked nipples? My LC prescribed an ointment and it worked quickly and has been so much better than the lansinoh I was using... maybe you can get an Rx if other ointments aren't helping?
Can y'all help me? DH is the best man in our friend's wedding next month and I need to find a formal dress that I can nurse in. Should I look specifically for a nursing dress or would you think something with a v-neck might work? The nursing dresses I'm seeing are too casual, and I'm starting to get twitchy about it!
I wore dresses to a wake and funeral this past weekend. Each time I fed Jake I would have my wife unzip me a little and I'd take my arm out of the dress and pull it down a little. I used a bib or baby wash cloth to make sure he didn't dribble on me and left him in the K'TAN so I could cover up a bit.

Jake forgot he used to go long stretches at night. He's been up almost constantly the last few nights. I finally get him to sleep after feeding and rocking him and so I put him down and 20 minutes later he's crying. Our room here (at my in laws) is next to my wife's Uncle's room and he smokes like a chimney. As in several packs a day. We had to close the vents to our room bc it's wafting in. Even w the vents closed the whole place smells and sitting in the living room you can tell when he's smoking bc the smoke wafts out. My throat is on fire and if I can smell it, the baby can. My MIL smokes a lot too but has been using ecigs. They don't see the problem w smoking in other rooms bc they think as long as their not right next to the baby it's fine. Whenever we leave here we have to wash everything bc it reeks like smoke. Not to mention her Uncle is sick and so is his daughter and he invited her over tonight to meet the baby. Ughhhhh I'm so ready to get back home and get to our routine.

Ugh that sucks. DH's stepfather smokes like a chimney and he/DH's mother are coming to stay with us next week to meet the baby. There will be no smoking in the house/patio but their clothes are so steeped in smoke all the time, it's just everywhere.
we're letting E sleep by herself in her room tonight. We've been sleeping in the nursery on the guest bed since we brought her home. She's starting to go longer between feeds at night, plus her little noises she makes as she's sleeping are keeping me awake bc I keep thinking she's waking up. So I got a monitor, sound is clear and seems good, and yet I'm terrified I'm not going to hear her and she's going to scream all night. Our rooms are separated by the living room and that's it, so it's not that far. But I miss my bed and my dark, cold room and my memory foam mattress.

hiimjamie I'm so sorry about your situation with the smoking and everything. Do they know about smoke causing lung irritation, infections, increases in SIDS? Do they care, or are they more of the "it doesn't do that when I'm doing it" types?
How long until you are home? Ugh, so mad for you guys.

Damn! I can't use the Earth Mama nipple butter that I got in the mail from Target today. One of the ingredients is mango butter and I'm allergic to mango. That would suck having my nipples break out in an allergic reaction right now for sure. I guess I could test it somewhere else on my body, but I'm pretty sure it would cause a reaction, I'm very sensitive to it. Bummer. I should have read the ingredients before I bought it. Oh well. I was thinking of putting together a nursing kit for a pregnant friend, so I can include it in the basket for her instead.

They definitely know. He just thinks that bc he's in his room, it won't bother the baby. But when you smoke that much it permeates the whole house. My MIL hasn't smoked at all when he's here and she didn't smoke at all when they were visiting us. It's just the Uncle and there's no stopping him. He has 2 adult daughters and an almost 2 year old granddaughter and they're all fine so in his mind, Jake will be fine.

It's my 1 year wedding anniversary today. Husband is working a 12+ hour shift, and I'm dealing with a cranky reflux baby. Ugh. Still, I love them both to bits.
I agreed to watch my friend's new baby, she's due in March, because 3 kids 3 and under isn't enough, or because I am completely crazy. I think my husband's hopes of a fourth are toast.

I was going to clean today. Then I was going to nap when DS1 and DS2 napped but E fell asleep on our ottoman. He was fussing and sometimes when he does that he wants to lay on his back and kick his legs. I set him down and he passed out. I'm afraid to leave because what if he decides he wants to learn how to roll over?
GUISE. I was walking my dog around my apartment complex (which is pretty decent, no crazies I've seen yet) and wearing E in a sling, and this lady on her patio calls me over bc she wants to see E's face. Ok, whatever, harmless friendly crazy looking old lady. And then she proceeds to ask me how much. I'm like, for the sling? And she's like no, how much for the baby. I was like haha uhhh she's not for sale, and start to walk away. And the old lady is like 100,000? I said haha no. And she's like 200,000? Really lady? I smiled and said no, and she LOOKED REALLY DISAPPOINTED. WTF. I'm now terrified to walk around my neighborhood for fear of her trying to kidnap my child.

old people...that is crazy, scary, and a little funny.
I was holding dd and she tilted her head back and exposed a skin roll that I apparently had never found because it was full of gunk, gross.

Is this something you could call the cops about? Wow that's just freaky. Ugh.

I don't know. What if she was just joking? She did have a foreign accent, I'm thinking West African judging from her decor/clothes/accent. And then I feel bad like I'm stereotyping and being judgey just bc of that and news articles I've read about human/child trafficking from those parts, but I'd probably be more worried if she was central european or something. She was probably being a harmless, crazy old lady trying to be funny. MY HORMONES ARE NOT TO BE TRIFLED WITH.

I went to my doctor today about this damn headache I have had for 3+ weeks. I got a shot of toradol in my hip. It burns like nobody's business. It seems to be helping so far. Hopefully it will knock it out and it won't come back.

when I was peace corps in west Africa my neighbors always tried to give me their babies. They seemed so serious and it would get me all flustered and then they would have a great laugh at the crazy white girl.
Going to be an AW: I stepped on a scale for the first time since I was admitted to be induced. I'm down 24 lbs and that puts me about 10 lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight.
