Last night after I got home from work and just got to cuddle Miles it seemed like everything in the world was just prefect. It's crazy how this tiny little guy has such a huge effect.

DH fed A while I pumped this morning, then laid her on his chest and reclined in his chair. For those of you who share the exquisite joys of reflux, you may notice that reclining is not sitting up. She spewed all over his back, the chair, and herself. He threw a mantrum (man tantrum haha), dumped her in my arms "for a second" and rips off his robe, cleans the chair, and goes up to take a shower.
All it was missing was a high pitched "ewwwwww!! Ewwww, oh my god, ewwww!"
I mentioned that she needs to stay vertical after feeds and he snapped, "that's what I do every day. She never barfed before." Well, you've been lucky then.
motownthrowdown H was bouncing N immediately after feeding him last night.. I asked him was he trying to make him puke..
Interview at 8:30. I've been up since 4. H got up with N but I couldn't go back to sleep after I was up.
6 week PP appointment at 10:45.
This is the longest I'll be away from N and the longest H has had to watch him alone. I've already cried because it'll be longer without him and he'll be with strangers in daycare. Fuck working. I really wish we could afford me being a SAHM or I could find a job where I could work from home. H is very non sympathetic to it all. He's all "he'll have to be away from you at some point." I get that but he's a baby and 8 weeks just isn't enough.

Man oh man. If us women changed and took showers ever time we were covered in spew, we'd get nothing done!
Today is my birthday, and to start the celebrations, A spent all of last night fighting sleep, screaming whenever we set him down in his crib no matter how tired and drowsy he was in our arms, and wanting to feed every 2-3 hours (when he's usually able to do 4-5 hr stretches at night). E had the right idea, though -- straight down without a fuss, 6 hr stretch, followed by a 4 hr stretch, and then another bonus hour.

motownthrowdown I love mantrum haha layloo08 good luck at your interview. It gets a little easier to leave them, with my first it was an adjustment of a month of two of me crying about wanting to stay home and not work.

Had my 6 week check up yesterday and all is back to normal. Md agreed if we want a third that birth control isn't a good idea. I almost laughed when he asked if we had sex yet. The desire is there but we have two kids in our bed and Alexis basically attaches herself to the boob around 8 and doesn't let up until 10.

Guys! Littlest Bones slept thru the night. Down at 10pm and didn't wale until 6:30. DS1 didn't sleep thru the night until he was almost a year and a half. Even if it's just a fluke, I'm way to excitedl.
E has been sleeping since I got her down at 2. For all of you with babies still waking a lot at night, there is hope. Last week it was like a switch flipped with E. She was up every 2 hours or less and then suddenly sleeping 5+ hour stretches every night. Even though I probably just cursed myself & she'll be up every hour the rest of her life.

Feels like someone is shoving needles into my boobs. Wtf is that about? Is this vasospasms? I'm pumping again (I did it just an hour ago) because I can't think what else to do.

The Jcc is offering a free demo stroller workout today. So I'm going to workout in the first time in way too long. I'm excited. I'm also looking for a new car. I'm out of miles with my lease and someone actually wants to buy it from me. All I will be out is 200 which is way less than I would be if I wait to turn it in, I have 600 miles left and my lease isn't up until May, with homecare I do about 400 miles a week. Now the big question is what car to get. I'm looking at a Santa Fe or Tucson, or rav 4. Ideally I'd like a 3rd row but it doesn't look like that's in the budget.

I just woke up because I heard a loud bang in the kitchen. H was trying to surprise me with breakfast and he dropped my good cutting board in the floor. It broke. Now I'm sad.
Isaac has this new thing where he has to sleep in the crook of my arm with his face close to my boob, otherwise he freaks out. The result is that I wake up in the morning and my arms are really sore.
I just want to sleep on my stomach again, one day...
Happy Wednesday! J has a bad stuffed up nose and isn't really sleeping well As i mentioned MOTN, the NoseFrida is our best friend. H was sick all week, I hope it doesn't turn into that. So, no playgroup today, just hanging out at home. I'm collecting low carb recipes on Pinterest, watching Reign and drinking coffee. H has been on low-carb for over a week, and his blood sugar is ridiculously stable. I'm joining him once I eat up all of the carby food in the house, but I might just box it all up and donate it. Whats the point of packing in all the noodles and crackers and tortillas, etc. if I just have to take it all off again? I have way too much food hoarded.
layloo08 I've heard of two sites Hire My Mom and Flex Jobs that do work-from-home. I was going to look into both while also looking for a "real" job. I don't know anything about them but friends passed the info along to me recently. If I could make enough to stay home permanently, I'd do it in a heartbeat. LO is set up for daycare in Feb and I'm already sad thinking about it.
The wubbanub I ordered arrived today, and E is already enjoying chomping on it. Going to let A try it too before I buy a second, but I already love how it's working for E's naps.
I wish I knew who it was that first suggested them, but thank you!

Connor does the same thing...I just want to be able to lay the little shit down in his crib by himself to sleep but he won't do it
