budders, I'm glad your day is getting a little better, it sounds like you've been having such a hard time.
We also had Dash's 4 month appt today and I got my flu shot. He's napping now but when he wakes up I think we're headed out to get a humidifier to hopefully kick his cold faster and maybe a sit me up.
I decided to start supplementing with formula because he is with me all day and usually all night so I don't really have any free time to pump and it was stressing me out not having a surplus of milk for him. My friend also made me a little nervous when I mentioned we just got formula she asked if it was in case of an earthquake, I realized I don't have anything substantial in place in the event of a natural disaster. I was okay with that pre-baby but now I am going to start building my bunker! (we're in the PNW so an earthquake is fairly likely in the near future!)
He had his first non-family babysitters last night, a couple expecting their first in Nov. He did not do great, cried on and off the whole time, wouldn't sleep, or take his bottle. I feel so bad that he was such a handful.
Just remember, everyone has grumpy days, even babies. And my MIL likes to remind me (when she has my herd in her care) that she doesn't take it personally. It bothers me more than her or my kids!
May I ask where in the PNW you are? I'm an hour drive from Paradise @ Mt Rainier. And aside from freezers of food, I'm not exactly prepared for disasters.
