I woke H up at 4 after I'd been trying to calm G for over an hour. I knew he had to work at 9. Honey badger don't care. Honey badger is sleep deprived.

I had to give a deposition Wednesday (long story) and my dad came over to watch the baby. It was only 15 minutes away but I left almost an hour early citing that it was downtown and traffic and parking concerns. While that was sort of true I really wanted to get a fancy coffee and probe in peace for a bit.
I have been embarrassed with how low my breastmilk out put has been and let that cripple me from getting help. I'm finally being able to start working past it to do my best to increase my supply. H keeps telling me it's not my fault but I have a hard time convincing myself of that.

It's not your fault and I'm glad you're working past it.
I get annoyed when people say they're 29 again or anything asking those lines on their birthday. No you're not. Be proud you've made it this far! Personally I've enjoyed my 30s much more than my 20s.

My sister tried to tease me about turning 30 next year (she started 3 years ago) but it doesn't work. I fought damn hard to be here and enjoy new year as an accomplishment.
My fffc is that unless W cries at night I do not comfort him. If I put him down and he's fussy about the swaddle for 20 minutes (or more) but not crying I just leave him there and try to sleep.

I'm leaving Liam with his childcare lady today. It's only for a few hours, and I'm anxious and sad and nervous (she's a SAHM who used to be a licensed childcare provider and lives a couple of streets over. This neighborhood is very family friendly, and folks watch each others kids all the time. She's really nice, has an adorable 8 year old daughter, and is 5 months pregnant. I'm sure she's perfectly capable and safe. But still. Nervous.)
BUT, I'm also kind of glad to get away from Liam for a few hours. It's been non-stop baby-minding without help for a week now. I love him, but I am going insane taking care of him 24/7.
I have absolutely no modesty or hesitation NIP. I don't even bother to cover up. When my baby is crying the last thing on my mind is caring if I'm making other people uncomfortable. Yesterday we were out on a family walk and I ended up walking down the street nursing L.

I teased my brother about him turning 40 in less than 2 years and he just looked at me and was like dude I'm just impressed in still alive after my 20s. Touché.
Ever since giving birth I can't stand her. She annoys me to no end, and all of my anger and frustration is directed at her. Sometimes I really want to throw things at her. But I don't. Instead I just mutter obscenities and feel guilty.

This, but with my idiot dog. She's very dumb, but she tries very hard. The problem is she's terrified of the outside, so taking her out is an ordeal. I don't have time or patience to stand out there with her for 15 minutes while she examines the yard for a place to pee. If there is wind, bird sounds, cars, people talking, leaves, rain, etc, the process starts over. She's currently sitting in her house until I'm done pumping so we can try again. She doesn't get free reign until she goes to the bathroom everyday.

OH MY GOD THIS. FFS schnauzer, it's just a place to pee, it isn't a lifelong farking commitment. I get so rage-y with him when he takes forever and a freaking day.

I'm in the idiot dog group. Mine has been spending a lot more time in his crate because if I get busy with baby, he gets into shit, and I don't want to clean his garbage messes or whatever object he shredded on the carpet.

My in laws graciously offered us free use of their time share next week in a small city about ask how away. It's two apartments. They were staying the first part of the week and we had plans to stay the second. They changed their plans to be their when we are there.
I don't want to go now which I realize makes me sounds like an entitled brat. I'm also pised at DH who didn't tell me about the change of plans until I overheard him taking to his parents about it and I confronted him.
I woke H up at 4 after I'd been trying to calm G for over an hour. I knew he had to work at 9. Honey badger don't care. Honey badger is sleep deprived.
Thank goodness it's not just me. I just came on here to confess that since my husband has decided to nap every day this week after coming home from work, instead of helping with the kids, and im the inly one whi gets uo witb DD at night, I purposely went to bed at 9 so he could at least give DD one freaking bottle and put her to bed. No regrets.
My dogs spend a lot of time locked up lately, too. The little one isn't too bad, but she's horrible for barking and when she starts yapping out the window when B is sleeping I get ragey. The big one is such a sweet boy and so gentle with the baby, but he's just in the way, getting into things, wanting attention, and shedding on everything! Poor dogs, but I just can't deal with them all the time.

I'm glad I'm not alone with the dog thing. I feel so bad having to crate her, but I just cannot deal with her neurotic bathroom habits. If we had a fenced yard, I'd just chuck her out the door and she could take an hour to decide where to go, but when I have a screaming baby wanting food, boobs on the verge of exploding because I need to pump, a rumbling stomach, and a fatigue headache (I'm making this a thing, if it isn't already), I just can't freaking handle the dog.

I think this makes me a bad dog mommy lol.
I just tell myself they're still getting more attention during the day than when I was working. And fatigue headache can totally be a thing.

Oh my god yes. I've said it so many times to my friends and family sad about turning 30, but 30s are much better than 20s.

I'm with all you ladies on the dog thing. We got past my dog being rough with DD. But now she is just annoying the hell out of me for attention. She is under my feet all the time. I feel awful but she ends up crated as well.
P.S. 18 months and almost 2 months is hard. Very hard. People keep saying it gets better but it's getting harder and harder to believe them.

Gah. My dog has been my child for the past 10 years. But yes, he takes an hour to find the perfect place to pee and we live in an apartment, so I have to walk around with the baby and him until he pees. Like yesterday, in the rain. And he gets jealous of the attention I give the baby and tries to drop his slobbery ball on her face and sit on her. And he barks his supersonic bark at every sound outside. I feel bad bc I've been losing my temper with him, and he's not getting the attention he's used to. My poor puppy.

I embarrassed the crap out of my grandmother at Walmart yesterday. I just don't care. Baby was hungry so I whipped out a boob and fed him.

My grandmother has pretty much taken care of everything for my older two all week. I've let her and I've enjoyed every minute of not mothering besides the baby. Its going to suck to have to cook and stuff again.
