Apparently Wife feels like she needs to beg me for attention and that I don't give her enough and that she doesn't feel wanted.... seriously? Seriously? We have a 10 week old baby. He takes up a lot of time. I'm exhausted at night by the time we go to bed and I actually get the baby down. Of course this lead to an argument and eventually lead to me apologizing and taking the blame and having to say I'd try harder. Because every argument turns into my fault and I eventually take all of the blame to end it. Grr. Sorry for the rant. I had to vent.

Alexis and I are having a nice day. I feel bad that I haven't done a one on one with Emma. We went to apple to have them check out my iPhone, then to trader joes and Barnes and noble for coffee and lunch for both of us. Anthropology was great about letting me nurse in their dressing room. I'm going to get my hair cut in an hour. I can't decide on bangs or no bangs. Help.
abvintage I used a Medela with DS1 and 2, Spectra now, and the Medela is so loud. I remember always coming up with words it sounded like it was saying. I kind of thought I was the only person who did that. Thanks for sharing my crazy.
I thought mine was saying gaegul... which is the korean sound for a frog ribbiting. So my pump ribbits at me. In korean.
My child is currently screaming in his swing. He won't take a nap. He needs to take a nap. Just go to sleep child. I tried nursing him to sleep but he keeps pulling on my nipple and it fucking hurts.
+1 to no sleep. E slept 7.5 hours straight the night before, woke up not fitting into his 3 month clothes anymore and has been cluster feeding since. Thankful to be off work today.
hiimjamie, I know my H feels this way sometimes, but luckily hasn't voiced it yet. I just can't right now. Too much else to focus on. I'm sorry your wife made you feel like you needed to apologize and feel bad. You should suggest that she gets up with you every time you get up with the baby and see how tired she is! (Unless, she already does that, than just ignore me )
gingerygirl, we formula feed and use Level 1 (0-3 mo), but we are going to introduce level 2 (3+) months this weekend. He will be 3 months on Thursday. He takes anywhere from 12-25 minutes to finish 4 oz so we are hoping this will help him finish a bit sooner.
Sigh no she's dead to the world. Maybe I should be louder... hahah
zonagirl some people hold on to weight while they are breastfeeding. I know because I'm one of them.
econmarie, I was in the same boat of testing negative for celiac (on the blood test), but had already cut out gluten so the doctor said it was inaccurate. IMO cut it if it works!!
Does anybody else's baby scream like you're hurting them (complete with the cry where they can't breathe for a second) when you move them from one boob to the other? Or start thrashing and throwing punches when the milk isn't coming out fast enough for their liking? Is this a sign of how bad the toddler years will be? Or is this his Italian personality coming out? Help, I'm scared haha!

I've been negative on the blood test and the colonoscopy, but GF diet has significantly helped the rashes. I went GF for a year until the rashes returned with a vengeance (after the holidays...I'm sure I just indulged too much). I went to a dermatologist who gave me a steroid cream and said there was no reason to go GF...that it does not cause rashes. Ugh. I ready that 20% of people with the rash will test negative on both blood test and colonoscopy.
Does anyone else feel bad about the tv they're watching now that our babies are more alert? I just started watching the blacklist on Netflix and I feel kind of bad whenever someone gets killed. Like hoping he can't hear it.
Yes! E loves watching the tv, and DH plays halo a lot, and I'm like eventually you can't play that when she's awake. Or watching shows that are violent with lots of cussing. When do we stop? I have no idea.

packmomma I watch goodfellas on a semi weekly basis (working from home and much have something to watch or get bored and do nothing). A is usually napping, but I always wonder if she's dreaming about gangsters lol
1) It's snowing. UGHHHH. 2) Forgot my avent pump parts so now having to use the madela, which I hate. 3) The daycare only gave B 3 bottles yesterday because he was sleeping through feeding times. Yes my child likes to sleep. Wake him up and feed him! 4) Forgot to wear an undershirt today so I'm having to pump completely topless and it's cold in here. 5) I wore a fleece shirt because it's cold but it's too warm and I'm hot at my desk. 6) My madela talks to me and it's a weird bitch. During the first part while it's trying to get a letdown it says "Wacko, wacko, wacko, wacko..." and now it's saying "Group Hug, Group Hug, Group Hug"
Ok so maybe #6 is my imagination but dammit it's weird how similar they sound.
In my newborn sleepless delirium one night I swore I heard "Nipples, Nipples, Nipples."
That moment when it's your lunch break but someone else is in the lactation room...I have 10 minutes left to my lunch and have to stick to a strick schedule that is created for me. I just had to pump in a storage closet and have my boss guard the door for me. While I was pumping I noticed a sign that said "Smile You're on CCTV!" Umm... hope security enjoyed the show!

I feel your pain. I had a nurse in L&D tell me that celiac isn't a real thing but they would "cater to me" anyways because they had to. It's like people deny it. Hello.... it's not like I'm GF for the freaking fun of it or the fad of it. I miss good cake and cookies!! Ugh!

That is insane. I think it is a reaction to all of the recent studies that show that gluten doesn't cause a range of other symptoms. People only read the headline and not the articles that clearly state that celiacs causes reactions to gluten.
I really hope it isn't celiac's, but if it is, I need to stay on the diet because, you know...cancer. I'm so thankful to be living in an age where we have so much access to information and don't have to rely on doctors' knowledge. They are in fact humans.
packmomma, e enjoys watching dancing with the stars and the walking dead. Eventually one of those will have to go, because zombies can cause nightmare, plus killing.
+1 to no sleep. E was up every hour or more and refused to be put into a laying down position. The only thing that would console him was nursing. He would fall asleep and then I go to move him into a sleep spot and boom awake and bawling. I had a presentation at work this am and I'm pretty sure I yelled you're klling me to my child at some point. I'm exhausted, but the presentation went well!
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.
We went trick or treating in the brand new, gorgeous development right behind our apartment and it was filled with families our age and tons of kids and babies around Jake's age. They were all hanging out in groups together in their yards and having a grand old time. Wife and I were SUPER jealous. It's basically out dream neighborhood. I didn't want to go over and be all "let's be friends! We live in those apartments! I'm jealous of your brand new home!" Lol
