ugh, I was writing something cute and then I realized I had my iPad on the wrong language setting and all that I wrote was nonsensical gibberish. Fail. @poppykisses, get a pad of post its and write down all the reasons M and you love your husband, the stick them everywhere he normally has access to - inside of toilet seat, refrigerator, tie drawer, inside shoes, coffe maker, etc, etc. then have a cute candlight dinner with whoever take out he likes.... And if you're really up to it, give him a BJ or something... Haha, speaking of which, at this rate I think my poor Husband could only expect one for his birthday because, damn - who has time or the libido for sex?
After a disastrous night last night, little B just gave me 7 hours straight, and I think I'll get a couple more soon. I hope he stays on track. Kid always seems to sort his shit out for the weekends (when dad is available to help, of course).
So my stupid dog ate another soother yesterday. We have so many, but they're all strategically placed throughout the house, and she ate the bassinet one. Lol. I think I'll replace it with a glow in the dark one so I'm not like Mr. Magoo in the MOTN. Are they easy to spot, even if the lights have been off for hours?
Also, I wonder if "pacifier" or paci is a regional thing. I say it once in a while because it's the most common term on here, but at home no one says that, it's almost always soother.

Good morning,all! Dr. appointment, Red Lobster for dinner and grocery shopping after. But all of that is not until tonight. I'm freeeeeee all day. I need to do the dishes and cuddle and read my book. Sounds like a plan!

I did aerobics yesterday and I realized how out of shape I am. I am a bit sore but it is nice to do something for me. I then undid the good by buying ribs for dinner.

Headed to the doc for C's 2 month appt this morning. Also going to ask him to take a peak at V. Her temp has been all over the place this week. She vomited all over the 3 of us Sunday eve, and other than the crazy Temps had been normal since. But not fever free long enough to go to school. I hate it when she misses, when we're paying for it.
I have an interview tomorrow and I am so not prepared. Also that means I have to wash and style my hair tonight after we get home. I hate that. So much work. Will someone please come do it for me? Maybe I should just go get it done during lunch. Hmmm.

Get it done if you can. I got my eyebrows done, a shellac manicure and pedicure on Monday and it was long overdue. Good luck at your interview!
Ugh DD1 is wheezing again. I feel defeated. She had a cough for 6 weeks, did 1.5 weeks of albuterol nebulizer with no change. She then had a short course of steroids and pulmicort added to her nebulizer for 4 weeks. Cough disappeared within a day, but a week later she got a runny nose which has now led to wheezing again. And we've still been doing the nebulizer daily, set to stop Mon. She is so over it, I'm so over it. Trying to decide how long to wait to see if her wheeze sticks around. Go in tomorrow or wait until Monday. I hate pumping her full of meds
Good morning! We are getting ready for some friends to visit this morning. The afternoon will be another bottle attempt and cleaning. Hope everyone has a good day!
Seven hours of sleep, our longest yet yay. I only woke up once to check if he was still breathing. He also soothed himself to sleep. I was so tired that when we transferred to bedroom I told dh I'll just see if he can fall asleep for the night without me rocking him. And he did after about five minutes. No crying either just grunty baby. I also love that when he finally focuses his eyes on mine in the morning he just smiles so huge. Makes me feel like I'm at least doing something right!

Little Bones was being an irrational toddler this morning. And Littlest had a massive vomit when I was trying to get out the door. I thought I would have time to pump when I got home but nope. He woke up and wanted to nurse. I need a do over.
Morning! Last week DH lost his keys on his business trip, so I had copies of our apartment set made yesterday. I gave him the originals. Well, guess who was locked out this morning with a hungry DD after getting DS on the bus? Gahhhh! Not cool. Luckily someone came out while I was calling maintenance, so we were only stuck a few minutes.
Running errands today with DD and hoping to get more unpacking done. I can't believe how much crap DH brought...I opened a duffel and found paintball stuff, what is this, 2002?!?

2nd night in a row of sttn (10-6) so I've leaked through my nursing pads and bra for the second morning in a row lol. Anyone else started wearing a bra to sleep due to nipple sensitivity?
Also, advice wanted. We have a small kitchen with limited counter space. We hand wash all bottles and accessories, and let them air dry. I need ideas on what to do with them after they dry. I've got 6 small bottles and 6 big ones, plus vents and stuff (Dr browns).

I keep ours in a cute basket in the cupboard with our cups & glasses. I already had the basket lying around but I'm pretty sure I got it at the Dollar Tree (score!)

1. Yes to the sleep bra. I tried to go without it a couple of weeks ago when I realized I wasn't leaking onto my nursing pads. 2 seconds in and huge NOPE.
2. We have the munchkin 2 tier bottle drying rack and just leave all the bottles and accessories on the rack until we need them. Bottles on the bottom, green vent tops on the little knob beside the bottles, vent tubes on the sticks on top, connectors on the bottom behind the bottles, and nipples on top of the vent tubes. Not very tidy but easy access.

My little one woke up congested for the first time. She didn't seem too phased but I hated the sound of gurgling in the back of her throat. I'll be cleaning off the humidifier today and getting that ready for tonight.
I'm starting to dread my return to work in a couple weeks! I just don't know how I am going to function trying to get it all done and I can't even think about day care...

When baby was sick we got a plastic transparent container, we washed it, and then super cleaned it with Clorox wipes. All washed and sterilized bottles go in there. The same with sterilized pacifiers and medicine droppers. It works well for us. With all our pumping equipment and bottle stuff, it fills fast. In case of emergency, it's cool because you just grab it an go - you know it's full of basic pumping needs.
DH is napping with E upstairs, A is napping downstairs in his bouncer, and I'm relaxing on the couch attempting to drink a cup of tea whilst horizontal. It's hard, but I'm comfy... #firstworldproblems

I have a couple questions about feedings:
Now that we have started sleeping through the night, we aren't having as many feedings a day. I get freaked out because we've struggled with weight gain early on. How many feedings a day is your child doing at this point?
We are struggling with bottles. She's happy to take them, but she screams like crazy and will not burp during them. This results in her vomiting up almost the whole bottle after and more screaming. Any tips to share? Or did anyone work through this? I'm getting really nervous about her having to take 4 to 5 bottles a day at daycare! I am trying to start having her take one bottle a day to get used to it but it's been a bit of a nightmare.
N is so happy in the mornings. Squealing and smiling and letting me get a cup of coffee in me... Two month check up today, a month later, and ds1 has therapy and will hopefully be starting with his new therapist next week. Also, tacos for breakfast.

hopefulreturn when we first dropped our 2am feeding (thank you God) we started adding about 10 or 15 mls to each bottle. This averaged out to replace that missed feeding. Edit: our feeding schedule is an early morning feed (7 or 8), a late morning feed (11 or noon), early afternoon (2 or 3), dinner with rice cereal practice (5 or 6), bedtime snack (8 or 10), and usually one around 3. So 5 or 6. She takes between 4 and 5 ounces at each one, except the rice one. That one is closer to 3.5 or 4.

ive been wearing a sleep bra since I gave birth. I'm a faucet at night. I usually soak through 2 pads a night a few times a week. Make it stopppp. I keep all the bottles and pump accessories in a sealed tupperware thing in the laundry room.
