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.
Ugh, I would not want to deal with the crying - sorry. Also interesting that your doc said that - DD was 8 lbs 3 oz at birth and 12 pounds at 6 weeks (we were a bit late for the 1 month). The doctor wasn't very concerned and said she wouldn't worry about doing anything for a while, to see if the trend continues or if she evens out a bit.
I apparently left out that its also due to him being uncomfortable due to gas issues. Sorry, I posted before coffee with a foggy brain.

So when do these hormone shifts stop? Last night H woke up to me bawling 3 different times because I couldn't properly swaddle W and apparently that means I can't do anything right as a mom (in my head)so I was just crying. This morning I feel slightly better but I'm so over the tears coming so easily.
I feel like the grim reaper is coming for me today. I wanted my SO to stay home & take care of E bc I'm sick but he couldn't. She was up until 4 this morning. She's swinging now so I'm hoping I can get her to sleep some more in a few mins.
Also, I'm pretty sure my parents are going to be getting divorced sometime before the end of the year.

I'm currently at the gym. I dropped Ethan and Isaac at the daycare gym. Is it weird that I feel guilty for not feeling guilty for leaving Ethan? Other than the hospital nurses he's only ever been with family,

This poor kid can NOT take a pacifier. The nipple on the soothie is so long he gags every time it goes all the way into his mouth. How is he ever going to take a bottle?

Have you tried a smaller size? Dumb question, but I didn't know there were different sizes until the NICU.

I'm freaking out about what to do with A once I have to go back to work. There's no date set yet, but they won't let me do this forever. Someone mentioned care.Com so I think I'll start there. Maybe after we make some headway on this, I'll feel better in general.

I definitely didn't realize this! I've just been trying the one they have us in the hospital.
Dude I have no clue what we will owe. Since we traveled for delivery our copay is 25% instead of the 20% it would have been at our local hospital. At the same time at our pediatrician appointment the doctor said sometimes people travel because it's cheaper.....so we will see. He also was special care status so wonder how much they charge for that. The hospital bill of course is on top of our midwife fees of 3500.....
We went from her nursing further apart the last few days, to a nursing marathon today! What I wouldn't do for a little consistency... I don't know how some of you are keeping to schedules already, my patterns won't even stay patterns :/
amberlie hugs to you, I hope you get some sleep soon!
@missava387 have you watched Sing It On on Netflix?
motownthrowdown I'm glad it wasn't an infection. FX it clears up quickly.
I've reached a breaking point on clutter. I've kept up in basic cleaning but yesterday I started really cleaning up where things have just piled up some. H helps clean, but he has to all where everything goes. Dude, you've also lived here the past 11 years, figure it out!

Ah, that does make a difference. DS screamed from gas Good luck!

I'm sorry you're having a rough day. Hope you get some sleep and feel better soon. Maybe your SO can stay home and help tomorrow? ((Hugs))
Yeah, they are sized just like clothes. Check it out.
I definitely will thank you!! I just want him to soothe himself with something other than my boobs! Poor boobs...
And maybe look at other brands. The soothie brand (at least here) does change size with age, it is a difference is firmness of the material. 0-3 months is softer (more bendy?) and as they go up in size they get firmer.
At the salon getting my hairs done. It was much needed. Left my two year old at my inlaws-- they have been asking for some time with her anyways, so win win. I'm currently nip while my color develops. Never thought I would be this person, but there's something liberating about it. I want to create a bucket list of places to nurse.

man I feel super lucky. My hospital bill was only $250.
FFFC: Nursing in my bed. He's still swaddled and I'm not changing a diaper. I need more sleep.
My LO is always swaddled when I nurse her in the motn. I unswaddle to change, then swaddle her back up before I feed her so I can just transfer her right to the rnp after holding her up.

N is too lazy of an eater if he's swaddled. I've done it twice and he always wakes up 1.5-2 hours later and I regret it!

My poor child has lost all the hair on top of his head, but it's growing nicely on the back and sides. All I can think of is Frank Barone front Everybody Loves Raymond when I look at him.

my husband says Liam looks like a miniature Ron Howard.
