What's Up, Weekenders??

[ampaints]

My golden birthday sucked. It was the year my parents got divorced. Can I have a do over?

I posted about this over in the BF thread but I'm losing my mind over feeding this child. She suddenly won't take more than about a half an ounce without screaming and needing to be burped. The burping part can be quick or ridiculously long trying to get it out, but when she does, it's seriously MASSIVE so the trapped air is for sure there.

It's making our already tedious BF ordeal into an absolute horror (an hour + each time and my boobs are exploding) but even a bottle is miserable since it also takes forever to get through and then I'm pumping for a full session too. I'm not convinced she's had a full feed in two days but has actually gotten so tired or over it that she gives up each feed.

This kind of gas just came on two days ago but has been nonstop with every feed. She is so miserable and I've never seen her cry like this. Oh and mommy is also about to find a cliff.
Gas drops aren't really helping much. Any advice?? Could it be BM related?

How old is she? My kids all had delayed milk protein sensitivity around 8-10 weeks. They screamed with every feed and had horrible gas problems and usually some reflux, though dd never did. Just gas issues and screaming with her.

I would also like a do over. Though not as bad as yours, I had bronchitis and felt like I was dying.

Update on the sexy panties: won't fit over my ginormous thighs and butt. :-( I dug around in my drawer past all the pregnancy and pp granny panties and found some lacy ones that fit though, so partial success.

I need to start losing some weight. But I also just found out how delicious target's donuts are. Ugh.

We are FINALLY getting A's "newborn" pics taken this afternoon. Had to cancel last time for her shunt revision. So excited to get some professional pics of her. Possibly of us, too. I don't know if parents are in them or not. So now I'm panicking over what to wear. And makeup. I haven't work any since....August 28. And before that...July 31.

Some of my mom friends had no idea what a golden birthday was!!! I'm over here like:

OMG it's 26 where you are?! I am still sweating away in humidity and 90 degree + weather.

Celsius, sorry! So it was 78 degrees and is now 40! Needless to say I was ill prepared!

i always have to use Google conversion to talk temperature on here. I knew what you meant but I'm also a fellow Canadian.

[ampaints]

motownthrowdown we did a few family photos at the end of M's newborn photos. I just wore a maxi skirt and nursing top and the only makeup I wore was mascara. Those are still some of my favorite photos ever taken of me. So I say don't stress too much about what you wear, but definitely get a family photo while there.

I let H take the 7AM feed this morning with a bottle of pumped milk. (Isaac's still every 2-3 hours - I need a break.) He wakes me up 45 minutes later and gives me the kid, saying "he's fed and burped ... I just really need to go to the bathroom."

DUDE.

Not on.


Am I the only one chucking a baby in a carrier to go to the bathroom, or should this have been my FFC yesterday?

I put the baby in her swing when I have to use the bathroom. I have a very curious 2 year old and mommy going potty is very interesting to her right now, I can't imagine trying to go to the bathroom with a baby strapped to me and a toddler trying to see what's going on. Lol.

@janetheconquerer No diet changes I can think of. I'm not a big milk person either. 

htuzzi324 She's 6 weeks. Milk sensitivity. Meaning drop the dairy from my diet? 

runningmommy519 Never heard of a golden birthday til this post. I have zero memories of my 7th birthday...

Ok. Question for you all. This came up in one of my online facebook groups and I was surprised. how many of you know what a golden birthday is?

I didn't know and had to Google it. Then I realised I did know, but I know it as a Champagne Birthday.

I was annoyed to learn what this was years after mine had already passed :/

+1 for champagne birthday. My was almost 2 years ago when I turned 28 on Sept 28.

Eta: I celebrated with a glass of champagne. FFSC: I was pregnant with DD at the time.

H and I went out to dinner for the first time since her birth! Ida slept through the entire meal, and I even ordered a cocktail. It's like we were real people again.

Today there's a chili pepper festival in the botanic gardens. H looooves spicy things, so I get to see how far he'll go with the taste-testing before running off to find water (they don't serve milk). I'll just be chilling with the baby drinking spicy hot chocolate. Yumm.

Yes. Drop all sources of dairy for two weeks and see if she improves. It takes about 2 days for me to notice a difference. I can't eat cheese or yogurt and I don't drink milk but I can eat all the ice cream I want.

H got the video monitor set up so M will be sleeping in the nursery for the first time tonight. I'm excited and nervous about it. I might try to let him nap in there this afternoon so I can get use to it.

I do. I turned eleven in the eleventh

Eta: golden birthdays aren't anything special where I'm from, it's more or less just like woohoo-what-a-fun-coincedence and that's it

[htuzzi324]

Stupid search feature isn't working. How do I insert a gif again?

[layloo08]

I didn't end up going to the baby wearing/donut event.
It's gross here, no sleep, baby's first leap and 3week growth spurt, and my friend couldn't go either.

H is off of work early and he's off work tomorrow so maybe I can get some rest.

All of this champagne talk makes me want a mimosa! I haven't had one since my BFP! That may have to happen today!

Crap. I guess I need to find a different way to save them to my phone? I don't know. I'm so lost.

[gingerygirl]

OK so my kid usually eats about 3 ounces every three or four hours. He just ate three ounces two hours ago but just now sucked down five ounces like it was no big deal and he's acting like he's still hungry! Holy crap, little piggy!

gingerygirl what time did DH get home?

[gingerygirl]

around 5. He said that he gave a coworker a ride home. I don't know why that took an hour, but I was too tired to get into it. I'll probably ask him about it when he wakes up.

[gingerygirl]

Omg I know exactly what my kid needs to be for Halloween. Whole I was pregnant my sister and her husband decided that my baby was going to be caramel macchiato colored. He needs to be a caramel macchiato from Starbucks.

[bcmomsaysso]

sweetsyrup I'm jealous! I'm DYING to go riding, my mom is going to watch C one of these weekends so my cousin and I can hit the trails. I need to get back in shape before next racing season

[joi922]

Well, DD just sneezed up an adult size amount of snot. Twice. Both kids are officially sick

[bcmomsaysso]

I'm sitting through the last soccer game of the day. Is it bad that it's only the third weekend and I'm ready for the fall season to end already?

[girlonabike]

I was looking forward to heading into the city to see friends today, but hubster doesn't want to go on his only day off this week and I don't feel like driving and dealing with Liam solo, so we'll be staying in. I was a little bummed because I haven't been able to leave this house to do anything fun since Liam was born. So I'm going out for a nice long bike ride instead.

I 100% have done this. 

[motownthrowdown]

Outfits for A are chosen, along with some special items for props. I cleaned up the kitchen and our guest bathroom, gave her a bath, fed her, and now I've got 2.5 hours until they get here. After her 1/2 hour reflux wait, I need to get myself cleaned up. I'm going to need that whole 2 hours, too. It's been a while since I've needed to look halfway decent.
