Twinkle twinkle Tuesday

MIL watched M yesterday and once again he didn't get naps like he needs. We had an office dinner last night and he ended up melting down because he was so tired. I told H she has yup start letting him nap or she can't keep him. I don't want my limited time at night with him to be spent soothing an overtired child. So glad my dad has him today, M should nap well and come home happy!

Thinking of you motownthrowdown for a successful surgery today.

I took a nap with K yesterday evening. It was much needed. I feel bad because I didn't get to spend time with DS or H, but the whole "she needs more milk at daycare" thing had me feeling low.

One more night of parent teacher conferences! I can do this. My supply is dropping because of the crazy schedule. So hopefully I can get back to normal eating, sleeping, and pumping habits.

Today's my birthday! DH was able to work from home today so I'll get a little extra time with him that he'd normally spend commuting, but otherwise it will be a pretty normal day of work (I WFH too).

LO laughed for the first time yesterday for my mom while she was watching him! She called me into the room but he didn't really do it again - he made a tiny bit of noise, maybe a half giggle for me. I'm hoping I can catch him laughing today; that would be an awesome birthday present!

I have a workshop to attend while dd is at school this morning for my school. Then will be emailed paperwork to do for my new job! My friend whose son is in school with my dd will be picking her up for me and I'll be bringing lunch back to her house for all of us

[DSHM13]

Happy Birthday arimaythea! Hope you get a giggle!

Today is A's follow up hip ultrasound. I haven't been feeling the hip click so I'm hoping all is well today!

We need to set up a bedtime routine. I know we are going to bed way too late and I'd love to be able to put A down so I can have some one on one time with DH.

Morning! Nora has her first play date today! One of my friends had a baby just last month and we're meeting up. Can't wait to meet her DD and to catch up. it should be a fun time

I finally bit the bullet and went running yesterday (first time out since first trimester)! Ended up doing a little under 2.5 miles.. I thought I'd be ridiculously sore today but so far so good. I'm surprised haha!

Sending good thoughts to you motownthrowdown

Happy birthday arimaythea!

C woke up at 3:30 a.m. ready to party, and my alarm goes off at 5. It was 4:45 when I finally got her back down, so I've been up since 3:30. Decided to get to work early and bank some credit time. Turns out if you get to the office before 6:30 you have to go through a full security scan. The guy in front of me was throwing a shit fit because security was rifling through his bag. Turns out he had a knife in there that set off the scanner. He was pissed that they were taking a while to dig through his stuff. Um... then maybe don't bring a knife into a federal building? Idiot.

Also, day 2 of migraine. Awesome.

Someone cleared hexed us all last night. No one slept well! I'm jealous of H going to the office...

arimaythea Happy birthday!

[lawndog1216]

arimaythea, Happy birthday!
@mowtownthrowdown, thinking of you today.

WHY MUST THE SHORTIES BOYCOTT SLEEP? So tired. MH is home today. Four tired people in one house most likely won't a good day make. Is it Wednesday yet?

[misstunes]

ampaints I totally read the thread title as "tinkle tinkle Tuesday" at first

[ampaints]

misstunes maybe that will be next Tuesday!

[misstunes]

I'm in search of a kiinde bottle warmer today. I hate the one we have and DH and my mom can't seem to warm a bottle using water from the keruig like I do. Going to use up some gift cards while I'm out too.



Happy birthday arimaythea!!

Happy Birthday, arimaythea !

It's a dreary start to the day here. Hoping for a weight gain at today's LC checkin!

[tmclawchick]

YOU GUYYYYYYS!!!! I took DS to the bus stop today and there was another family there who had been on vacation I think (first time I've seen them), but they have a little boy just a week older than DD! I had to restrain myself because I wanted to make friends so fast. I hate that awkwardness! I just want to be all "OMG YOU HAVE A BABY TOO??!?!! LETS GO DO THINGS TOGETHER! CAN WE TAKE WALKS? I LIKE WALKS!"

Gah. Play it cool, TMC.

[hopefulreturn]

A friend of mine is watching the baby tonight so that my husband and I can go out to dinner! I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm also anxious and panicked that my baby is just going to scream the whole time. She isn't the easiest in the evenings...

Now a question-
We are really struggling with bottles, she will take milk out of anything, but she spits up almost the whole bottle. We tried pace feeding and we do stop her to burp, but she just screams so much that it makes her sick. She does have pretty bad reflux that she takes medicine for, and luckily it's a bit easier with breast-feeding. Anyone been through this? Any advice or bottle suggestions? i'm starting to really panic about her having to take about four bottles a day at daycare!

Happy birthday arimaythea

I'll be sending good thoughts your way motownthrowdown. Fx the hospital isn't a circus.

Another poor sleeper last night. I start work on Thursday, but I started the baby at daycare yesterday so I would have a few days to myself to get some stuff done. Dd#1 woke up yesterday with a sore throat so I had to keep her home. I was so annoyed. She went to school today because she felt better, but they called to tell me another little girl has strep so I am keeping my fingers crossed it is not related and dd is ok.

[motownthrowdown]

hopefulreturn, I'd talk to the ped and get her meds adjusted. They prescribed A's meds when she weighed 5 pounds. So the dosage is different now that she's 11. They should be able to get that under control. Mylanta supreme might be something else to look into. We give her some of that about 5 minutes before the bottle if she's acting extra refluxy. It's like tums. Not sure on your dosage for that, but your ped can help.

Thanks for the suggestion! I called the pediatrician last week and the nurse was just very yeah baby spit up, she's on her meds, etc. I think I need to put a call into the GI office we visited last month. today's weigh-in will also be key because she's only been maintaining and I'm really hoping for a gain! ( though I am also counting my blessings that we haven't had weight loss!)

Thinking of you and lil A!

@mrspanpan happy anniversary!

Happy birthday, arimaythea!
Happy anniversary, @mrspanpan!
@mowtownthrowdown, fx for A today!
I enjoy that my autocorrect now finishes most sn for me so I don't have to remember by the time I read all the randoms.
Going to my friend's house today to check out her cloth diaper stash. She's due in may with her 3rd and is tired of buying diapers haha.
N has a new favorite thing: squealing. Happy? Squeal. Sad? Squeal. Mad? Squeal. He also started grabbing at things instead of just swatting at them. The tag on his play mat is his favorite.

I'm having a proud mommy moment today. DS1 got dressed completely by himself. Not any help from me at all. He went into his drawers, picked out his outfit and put it on. He can usually do his bottom half alone but struggles with the shirt and hasn't been able to do it. His pants and shirt are be backwards but I don't have the heart to fix it because he did it himself.

Ethan is no longer sleeping through the night. I mean he's not more often than he is. Perhaps the 4 month sleep regression is starting (he's 4 months on Sunday) but i still don't now if you can really call it that. He wakes up eats and passes out.

Happy birthday arimaythea!

Happy anniversary @mrspanpan

hopefulreturn maybe a slower flow nipple too?

Feel better @missava387

DSHM13 and motownthrowdown good luck today

@jhlaula09 sorry about the milk thing. When my first was in daycare they always asked for more milk.

Apparently there is a mom in my neighborhood with a baby a week older than Ava. My mom met her when she was staying with us during my recovery. She showed me which house is hers. I really wish I was brave enough to just go over and knock on her door.

Happy birthday arimaythea!

@missava387,  Hope you feel better soon!

Happy anniversary @mrspanpan!

Thinking of you and A today, motownthrowdown.

T woke up around 1:30 this morning, but we were able to get her back down and then she slept until 8. She was smiling when I got her and she ate without fussing, so I think she's feeling better. Haven't noticed any blisters on her hands or feet, so I'm hoping we're done with the hfm.
