I still haven't had a dunk since having DS2. No good reason- we have beer and wine. Early FFFC?
I found my at trying to pee on the carpet. She's scheduled for an annual exam and to have her butt shaved (she can't clea her rear end) on Friday. We went through this behavior with DS1- I'm hoping its a UTI so we can treat with antibiotics and move on because I really don't want to deal with this behavior at all.
oopsiedaisies, I am actually heading to trader joes today to pick up a few decent bottles of wine on the cheap side!!
Caden the little chunker is on a diet...jk the term diet was never used but he is weighing in at 12 pounds 12 oz and is only a month old.( he was 10 pounds 3 oz at birth) The doc said 6oz at least every 4 hours, not sooner. The kid has been eating 4-6 Oz's every couple of hours lately. Let the crying begin. Hence my wine run today.
Is there a point when babies can go too long between feeds? I fed her last night around 9 and then she fell asleep and I put her to bed around 10, I went to bed around 1030. She slept from then till 745 this morning. When she woke up this morning, she cried once or twice and then smiled when I picked her up so she wasn't too upset. I'm just worried that almost ten hours is too long to go between feeds at 7.5 weeks. But she seems content so I don't know.

Does pumpkin coffee count as a drink? I may be a little obsessed with it this time of year!
Taking DS and DD for a photo shoot at 10 today. This is take two! We went on Sunday and mia screammmmed her head off the entire time! It was awful! The photographer is so kind and told us to come back to try again today. I'm hoping it's not a repeat of Sunday! The funny thing is I was more worried about my four year old cooperating and he was wonderful!
My mom and I have early shopping passes to a huge consignment sale tonight. I'm excited to go. Not so excited to spend much money since the massive bills are coming in. But Eliza was weird last night and up a lot for the first time ever. Now DS woke up early and Eliza is in and out. I attempted to pull out some dry shampoo and channel kaeguri to wash it less but the arosol bottle top broke. I feel like my life might be like the movie Groundhog's Day but instead I'm stuck on a forever Monday. Waaaaaah. Bring on all the coffee
kaeguri as long as she eats plenty throughout the day and continues to gain weight I don't think it's an issue. What vodoo Magic did you use to make this happen?!?

Nope. As they get older they take more at one time and go longer between feedings. If she is hungry she will let you know. Enjoy those nights when you can!
@aliam20 Jealous! I can't wait to redo our kitchen. Another bathroom will be first sadly. Our kitchen is the last room to be remodeled on the main level and it's just so ugly. We desperately need another bathroom though.
May I ask approx the cost and lin. Sq ft for the Quartz? I really want Quartz for our kitchen. Seems the most durable.
We are doing a hot air balloon ride Saturday. We bought it when we first moved to Utah. I got ktfu and it had to be pushed so we are finally doing it. It means I need to stay home today and pump when I can so that our friends who are watching him can feed him. Ugh.

Whoever recommended the exercise ball to calm baby is genius!!!
I bought one yesterday, put DS in the ring sling, and bounced. He slept through his usual witching hour AND even slept well last night. A side bonus, it's definitely an ab and thigh workout

We had about 32.5 Sq ft and it cost $2300. After all taxes and whatnot it was $2500
That sounds really reasonable. It looks awesome. We have 30 sq ft. I was planning on $3500 or so.

Morning! DD has usually been waking every 2-3 hours but last night she gave me 5 glorious hours of sleep. Of course I've been up since her 4:30 feeding but I feel good! Our landlord is bringing interested tenants here today and I'm a little ashamed of how cluttered the place is, ugh... I suppose I should get some cleaning done...
DD1 has her first cold of the season and was up all night. Luckily DH took her downstairs and snuggled with her on the couch for me. DD2 wanted to feed all night. So I need all the wine.
On the upside DD1 will bless herself when she sneezes, which is the cutest.

So the fact that my chunk is 14# 4 oz at 5 weeks doesn't say much eh? He was 10# 1 oz at birth. His pedi just laughed and said she likes his rolls.
Yesterday started out ok, but ended miserably. B did not nap much and I knew she would be overtired and cranky in the evening, but then every time I got her to sleep, Dd#1 would wake her up (when will I get my good, sweet girl back?). The baby was hysterical and could not be soothed. I gave her a bath which helped and handed her to dh so I could brush my teeth. I guess he decided to do tummy time with my finally settled baby, wtf, and got her all worked up again. It took forever to get her calm enough to eat and finally to sleep. So today we are hanging out at home and napping. We may go to a mom's group later if we get a good couple of naps in.
I can't wait until Im done BFing so I can enjoy more than one drink on a Friday night. H and I used to unwind with a bottle of wine and talk for hours. I miss those days. It's been forever.
Jake only woke up at 330 again yessssss! He also woke up at 7 to eat and scream about a poopy diaper and now he's eating again, but he keeps smiling this huge smile and letting my boob fall out. Goofball.
I've had a few adult beverages since having Jake, when my in laws were in FL I had 1 hard cider while they drank beer after beer. I've had 1 beer at the 3 times we've eaten out at restaurants and my SIL made margaritas last night and I had one. So good. I craved margaritas when I was pregnant LOL! Basically, I nurse 1 drink if I'm going to have one bc I'm BFing.

Love titing the blessing herself bc it's adorable not the cold! Hope she feels better!

DH and I would do the same thing before kids. We would play records and sit outside.

I think it's a growth spurt. Last time she slept a lot she went through her first leap that the wonder weeks app was talking about. Past day or 2 she's been sleeping a lot again. And eats every hour during the day. And cries if I put her down for a second.
