*Yawn* Tuesday Randoms go here.

[carolyngrace]

My pre-workday anxiety wouldn't let me sleep until 10, even though I turned out the lights before 9. Then my sister called at 10:15 just to chat - WTF. And DH came home at 11 and woke me up, baby up at 12:30, cat scratching the bed at 3:30, anxiety about baby breathing at 4:30, baby up again at 5:15, so finally I said fuck it and I'm up. Thankfully DB went back down for another hour or so, so I'm going to get ready for work and maybe be on top of shit this morning, even though I'll be exhausted.

Oh, and I'm out of coffee. WHAT THE FUUUUUCK.

[jessila]

Owen is refusing to sleep in his crib. Again. But he'll sleep in the swing. Guess we'll have to do the slow transition. Again.
I woke up around 2 thinking my boobs were going to explode so I went to nurse him while he slept. Then H got up bc he had a headache. I thought someone broke in. Our house is one level and the medicine is in the kitchen next to the nursery. I quietly put O down and snuck around the corner, holding the monitor as a weapon. Don't know what I would have done with it. And I realized the thief may have been looking for pills bc the cabinet was open. Then it occurred to me that it must have been H. Pounding heart meant I stayed awake until 330. Boo.

Happy Tuesday?

[missjenniebean]

I thought yesterday was Tuesday, had a TMI but can't remember it now.

Also, thought today was Wednesday, was all excited about HDBD...logged on to see Tuesday threads!


on a different note, I am confused about a situation with my work and have no idea what is going to happen with it. my mind is baffled with this one.

All I want to do is sleep. Zzzz....

Similarly I tend to fall asleep in the rocker during MOTN feeds. 2 nights ago DH came in to check on me. Startled me awake, heart was pounding like crazy. I managed to fall back asleep thankfully as it was only 1245 bit that feeling is no bueno.

[erbear]

I have another clogged duct and it hurts like a bitch.



Oh, and I pureed sweet potato last night and I swear my entire house still smells like it. I'm having all of the feels about starting LO on actual solids and her not being EBF anymore.

[stinybean]

Joolschweets I don't blame you. I guess he didn't know that babies make noise/don't necessarily sleep through the night before you had your LO.

carolyngrace you need a do-over

jessila well I'm glad it was just YH, but that still sucks.

missjenniebean good luck with work. On the radio today the dj was confused about today being Tuesday too.

budders feel better!

So I keep falling asleep before J's last feeding. Although I've always been a love sleep kind of gal, it's a bit concerning. My GP just told me my thyroid meds need to be increased so hopefully it's just that. Even DH thinks it's a little much for me.

@erbear it's okay they can't stay little forever.

[erbear]

My kid keeps rolling over while I'm nursing her and talking to the window/wall. Weirdo.

[billyhorrible]

BH didn't nap at daycare at all yesterday. Not one minute. Which is annoying, because he needs sleep, and I know if DH or I were with him, we'd have found a way to get him to sleep.

OTOH, he slept last night from 7:30pm to 4:50am when he pooped himself awake. Which he hasn't done since September when he decided that all the cool kids wake up every 2-3 hours.

[mrsmonogrammed]

I've been mostly lurking the past few days. My aunt who was diagnosed with stage IV brain cancer passed away on Friday after a 17m fight. It's absolutely been an exhausting weekend but I'm glad to be back (and fairly distracted;)) I hope you guys are all having a good week so far!

[Bluedaisy]

I'm so sorry mrsmonogrammed,!
erbear, your comment about the window and wall made me think of the scene in The Proposal with Betty White and Sandra Bullock chanting in the woods.

My inlaws left at the crack of dawn this morning! Yay for having my house back but since it was their last night yesterday we decided to go see the Christmas lights exhibition with them. Turns out it wasn't open. Then I LO stay up a little later to give them extra baby cuddles and that threw his whole night. It still was nothing to complain about (one wakeup) but usually he sleeps through.

[gigi3126]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants to fast forward to this weekend. I felt like crap at work yesterday, so I called in a sub for today. Still feel pretty crappy, but I also didn't want to take J to daycare because I felt guilty. He was so snuggly and sweet this morning. H had to remind me that he would be up in 20 minutes and I wouldn't get any actual rest once that happens. Logically, I know this is true. But I still wish I could have snuggled my baby all day. Let's see how long I last before I go get him...

[baytosa2013]

Ugh dealt with 2 sick kids all night! One was an infant that was sort of whining in her sleep all night. She has some congestion and I think she's just not feeling well. The other was a 40 year old infant who was up throwing up all night. It was the LONGEST night ever and I'm not used to this. I need my 12 hour sleeper back! I'm having all the coffee this morning.

[alayne926]

So sorry for your loss mrsmonogrammed.

Ugh, baytosa2013, infant men are the worst!

We had a craptastic night in our house. My stomach didn't feel right after eating (I'm thinking an ulcer) DS threw up again randomly lastnight around 9:30. (The Dr. thinks maybe the meds were too much for him and prescribed something else.) Got him settled back down and went to bed. DD was up at 12:30 to eat, which was so random, and while I was up with her, I felt like I was going to throw up. Woke up DH, who was oh so thrilled, and had him feed her while I hung out in the bathroom. He got her back down and we went back to bed. DS was up around 1:15 in our bed. I let him snuggle DH and I went to the couch. I was up till 3ish trying to figure out what was wrong with my stomach. Woke up at 6:30, fed S, got DS ready for DH to take him to school a little later and rushed out with S to school.

[erbear]

I'm sorry for your loss, mrsmonogrammed.

[tiffbot]

I'm so sorry mrsmonogrammed, hugs

[sugarkissed]

So sorry mrsmonogrammed.

I've been mostly a lurker the past while. DH has been working out of town, LO has been teething, and my 2 year old is.... 2. I'm exhausted! We have a weekend away in the mountains coming up with only the baby, so I'm really looking forward to it. I even have a massage booked! Come on, Friday!

[silv3rlining]

sugarkissed the 2s are strong with my DS right now too...yesterday was a hair puller.

mrsmonogrammed so sorry for your loss.

[mrsmonogrammed]

Thanks for all the love, ladies!

I've missed chatting with you all the past weekend!

[carolyngrace]

I got a "shot in the dark" at a coffee shop and I'm wired as hell!! Definitely going to crash after work.

I keep having a hard time going back to sleep after baby's motn feed. It's when my brain goes into overdrive and I am convinced I hear prowlers outside and I have even just gone downstairs before I go back to bed to make rounds and turn on a couple of lights...you know, to alert the prowlers that someone is awake inside... I blame all the shit that's been going on in the world.

[mrsdee1982]

I'm sorry for your loss, mrsmonogrammed

Last night I had to chop an onion for our dinner. Well, apparently it was a very pungent onion, because even after MANY hand washes/dish washing, and a baby bath later, my hands still smell like onion. HELP!!! How do I get them to not smell like raw onion?

[billyhorrible]

mrsmonogrammed, I am so sorry for your loss.

mrsdee1982 - try touching something stainless steel. I know it works for garlic.

LBB has turned all of BH's toys to the Spanish speaking dial. Every time I switch them back to English, he switches them back to Spanish. Nickle says this baby ends up saying Hola before Hello.

So sorry for your loss mrsmonogrammed. How sad.

mrsdee1982 it won't help you right now, but for future reference, Amazon has this amazing (according to my dad) smell eraser called the Rub Away Bar. I think it's made of Stainless steel or something but he says it works awesomely. For now, just keep scrubbing

mrsdee1982 yep stainless steel "soap" is Ahmazeballs. If you have a stainless steel sink you could try running your hands on that as well.

*Giggle* that's actually pretty cute.

Beef+red wine+garlic+herbs in slow cooker for dinner. Made kids pancakes for breakfast. Drank my tea, even though I wanted wine. Kid1 is almost done with schoolwork. Kid2 hasn't made me pull my hair out yet. Kid3 just finished nursing and is laying my lap, smiling. And farting. Feeling loved over here.

We've had 5+ inches of rain since the 1st. Still raining. And I need to have Kid 1 & 2 do their chores, which is tough in the rain. I don't like taking T out in it, but otherwise I end up coaching from the window... "Turn the hose OFF. No, OFF!" etc.

[wegrowsheep]

Also, I thought I'd ask DH if he wants to have a contest for losing weight. He smiled and was all, "I've lost 6 lbs since Thanksgiving." Fuck. Nevermind. I'm lucky if I can do a pound a week.

Ugh I jinxed myself after posting on the 1 hour thread. I should know better than to dream of a free hour. O just had the biggest beet-related pink poonami I've ever experienced which he managed to get all over himself (hands/feet inc) my sweater & jeans, then rolled through it across the floor. I strip him down & he then pees all over the floor and his toys. It took 50 mins to clean up, bathe him, wash floors & then he had a bonus 10 mins of screaming :/

Go big or go home!

[kemdupuis]

mrsmonogrammed, so sorry to hear about your aunt. Cancer sucks.

[stinybean]

@mrsmongrammed my condolences.

@bubbs119 Wow!

Joolschweets I'm so sorry that sounds AWFUL. I am however giggling over the use of "poonami,"
I usually say poopsplosion, but that's a much better description.
