Cradle cap--anybody have any effective treatments. Liam has a mild case, and ped said to do a one time treatment of massaging baby oil onto his scalp and letting it sit for 20 minutes, then washing it away with Selsum blue. We did that last week and it looked better for a few days, but now it's returning. I'm not keen on using a dandruff shampoo often with Liam.
We have this, it was pretty bad. Huge yellow scabs on her eyebrows and front of her scalp. I rubbed unrefined coconut oil into her skin, let it sit for an hour, then bathed her, gently rubbing at the areas with a wash cloth. Repeat every other day. After 3 times, it's almost gone.
I had a dream that my baby turned into a flaming demon. Like Jack Jack from the incredibles at the end, except more realistic and scary. Red, glowy eyes and trying to bite/eat me. When she woke up this morning, I legit woke up DH to go get her bc I was still in sleep/dream mode and scared lol.
I got Pumpin Pals and I'm happy to have spent the money. My nipples aren't as sore and I feel like they do a better job draining my breasts. I've gotten 2 oz in 35 minutes, that's really good for me!

I have 3 oz! I've never gotten over 2 oz when I've pumped!
DH talked me into going to pick us up takeout from Chuys. And of ourse within ten minutes of me leaving DS is up bawling bc hungry. Which means mama gets to pump when she gets home instead of eat. I had JuST gotten him to sleep when I left too. Sigh.

I really want a drink right now but we have no alcohol in the house. H has to be alcohol free for the next six months and I decided to be the supportive wife and go sober with him. Sigh. I really want a hard apple cider.

So H took me to get a pedicure at this really nice hotel downtown. I got to change into a robe and sit in a relaxation room and everything. Dinner was superb and now we are back home with our gassy, crying baby.
FFSC: I didn't want to come home so early from the date. 4 hours as regular grownups felt so good and wasn't long enough.

My older two are driving me absolutely crazy tonight. Need a beer. Trying to resist the (ridiculously strong and strange because I haven't touched them in almost a year) urge to smoke a cigarette. That bad. I also want cheesecake because maybe food will take the craving away. Mostly I want it to be bedtime.

I'm having a magical night. No witching hour, had a glass of wine with dinner so H is now feeding Cora a bottle while I put my feet up for a bit. All is well in the world

I get random cravings too. I quit the day I got my BFP, December 15. When I get particularly stressed, or on really nice evenings, I get this urge to smoke.

I was a social smoker and quit when I started the meds for IVF. With this nice weather I've had the urge to sit on the deck with H while he had a cigar and split a bottle of wine.

Watching Age of Adaline with DH and a bottle of Cinnful Apple by Angry Orchard. I've had about 1/4 of the bottle and I am tipsy. Good thing I waited until I was done pumping--I am a lightweight, apparently.

Still have to read everyone's posts. DH let me go to the spa today! I got a 90 minute massage, facial, and a pedicure. Then I came home and took a two hour nap, and DH made me dinner. I feel like a new woman!

I finally set my blog up. I'm really bad at all of this and am blog challenged. The blog name everyone voted for was actually already a comedy talk show and the website was taken. Trying to find a domain that wasn't taken was a total PITA. But it's started. I hate my theme and need to update it but I finally started something I've been talking about for years! Proud of myself.
This kid. He's slept maybe 3 hours all day (after also barely sleeping last night) Cluster fed while awake. ALL DAY. His last marathon was a solid hour. Not 30 min later he was freaking out to eat again. H gave him a 4oz BM bottle to give my boobs a break. Really contemplating breaking out the sample formula so maybe he'll sleep/sleep longer...
My Golden Birthday is 30 on the 30th (Jan) - double whammy on the Birthday front. I love Birthdays and make big deals about them. I secretly hope H doesn't drop the ball on this one.
DS had his first "singing in front of lots of parents" experience on Friday. He was doing so great and then had a complete meltdown and ran to me. I have it all on video so you can see the changes in his face. It's so sad. I think he just got overwhelmed with a bunch of people watching with their cameras out.
My Gators won! They shouldn't have won. In fact I was convinced the game was over but my goodness - 28-27 win that came down to the last seconds of the game. Phew - I wanted to vomit at the end. (Football - for those who don't watch and are wondering what the hell i'm blabbering about )
No plans for tomorrow except to get DS1 in the pool. We do ISR and he has his clothes test on Monday. He has the swimming down great but the boy hates to roll over and float like he is supposed to.
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.
Def get in on the photos. We had the photographer come to our house so we had staged photos but also some in her nursery. I even had my parents who were visiting at the time get in on a few.
Tonight is the first night Miles is sleeping in his nursery. I was all about it earlier, he's a loud sleeper and I'm not getting good sleep even when he's sleeping because of it. Now I'm not as big of a fan. I know it's fine, but I'm feeling like a bad mom. Little dude is passed the f out and doesn't care. I even went in and reswaddled him, he didn't wake up at all. Definitely one of those harder on mom than on him times.
