sammyca My DH goes out every Thursday but with coworkers as well. He typically comes home RIGHT after bedtime and I'm a frazzled, grumpy mess.
It's 2:43 am here. LO just woke up to nurse and she had a poopy diaper, which never happens overnight. Kept rolling over and screaming while I changed her. Then I go to nurse her and realize I'm not wearing a nursing pad and my shirt is soaked on the other side.
I'm not even up for the day and I already am dreaming of the coffee I'll consume.
4 am wake up for the day, again. I don't understand how A can have a 3 hour swing (anywhere from 3 am to 6 am) for morning wake ups when he goes to bed at pretty much the same time every night.
At least I can clean the house since there's nothing else to do this early? Yay?
michyme123 I'm sorry LO is sick! I hope he is over it quickly! Joolschweets I hope you are able to get some relief. Is there on on-call number for your Dr? Maybe they can call in an Rx for you. I am up way too early with LO. We had to go to the eye doctor last night because she had a red eye with greenish puss. It's a mild case of Belph but I have to put salve on it before bed. Last night it took DH and I to do it. I hope today is better.

Joolschweets sorry for the possible mastitis, breastfeeding issues suck. I hope you get some relief soon:(
DD has been an awful to put to sleep/stay asleep the last 2 nights. I had NO idea what was wrong with her until I realized that she's had an extra bottle leftover at daycare both days. Apparently she was missing those normal ounces and my boobs weren't making up for it enough at bedtime. -__- On a related note- I'm wearing my hair in a ponytail today beachside eff washing my hair this morning. DNW to deal with drying and styling!
michyme123, so sorry your little boy is poorly! I hope it clears up soon, poor little mite, and that the baby avoids it.
Joolschweets, ouch, poor you! It seems unreasonable for your doctor to penalise you for using an alternative service when they're not open!
@hazeldublin, it's (early) lunchtime! Hope the baby's asleep and you're enjoying the peace.
sammyca, that's not funny. Hope your H sees the error of his ways!
iowamama615, that's not funny. Will the baby allow you to nap later? And how are you - did you ever get your biopsy results?
Sympathy to those who are struggling with poor sleep and / or struggling to get out of the house!
L is enjoying a bottle and when she's finished we're going for a walk. I'm sure we're not infectious any more and I need to get out of here for a bit! I'll pick up some lunch from the bakery whilst we're out. It's for my sanity, which is hanging by a thread after this week on top of last week!

Rearranging my kitchen this morning. The pile in the laundry basket is stuff I actually use. The stuff on the floor I probably haven't used in a year or two. How much kitchen stuff should you keep around just in case? I'm leaning towards getting rid of it all to create room. I have neighbors I can borrow from if I really need something.
carolyngrace, I just cleaned out a lot of my extra kitchen stuff I had been holding onto for three years. My niece moved into her own place and needed stuff, so I gave her things. I tend to hold on to things like that way longer than I need to!
I've spent all morning chasing LO around. We desperately need baby gates!
Ugh, my mom is inviting herself over while my ILs are here this weekend. It's too much. I told her I was busy Saturday morning and then we were going out Saturday afternoon to get car seats and baby gates and she's all "oh, I'll just meet you guys for dinner!" Sigh.

I knew I should never have told yall that LO had a good night sleep on Tuesday. Awake god knows how many times last night. Just frequently enough for me to not fall asleep at all. Was planning on taking her to story time this morning but I feel like collapsing. Zero hours of sleep is not okay. Send help!
Jules just woke up, should I be worried that she still has a dry diaper? I figured I'd nurse her and wait a few mins before calling the dr. I'm kind of freaking out about it though. Usually she wakes up with an overly full diaper.
Lots of hugs to @babybean9. I saw your thread on parenting giving the update about the family drama. I hope your family is able to figure out the best solution for those kids given the situation asap.
@bubbs119 I'm sorry you're feeling guilty. Mom guilt is the worst! carolyngrace +whatever to purging if it hasn't been used in a year. periwinkledaydreams I'm sorry LO was up all night. I hope you can get some rest at some point today.
carolyngrace +1 to the "if you haven't used it in a year rule". I've moved apartments even year for the past 8 years though which probably makes that much easier to do.
I forgot how much snaps on sleepers suck on wiggly babies! Half the time some of them aren't done up cause he rolls away before I could finish it. I treasure the few zip up ones we have lol
I bought a new sleeper a couple weeks ago at Target on clearance, and somehow didn't notice it's snaps and not a zipper. I almost put it straight into the "does not fit" pile because zippers are soooooo much easier!
michyme123 , sorry about your LO! Hopefully it doesn't get passed around
Joolschweets , like others have said, maybe call the office and there is an on call dr? There has to be if they are closed.
@bubbs119 , yay for dry and styled hair though!
Happy Thursday! To piggy back on stcyct 's post, its Feb in New England and its 50 something degrees out- I'll take it! We have Zumbini this afternoon and I really don't feel like going. Also, I'm watching super bowl dishes being made on TV and now I'm craving all the bad foods at 8:30 am.

Before buying this house I moved every year or so and got rid of stuff each time. When I moved in here everyone gave me their kitchen stuff they didn't use! Very nice thought but I only bake once/ month or so and its nothing fancy. And I do t like to cook either lol
I can't believe I'm a half hour late for work an the randoms thread is already two pages long! DS was super fussy this morning, and I could not for the life of me figure out what his problem was, until I remembered DH saying he thought he might have pooped when he passed him to me, like 45 minutes prior. Mom fail, although I'm blaming this one on the lingering stuffy nose and not being able to smell anything. Other than that though, our day is off to a significantly better start than we've had all week, so I'll take it. Plus, it's the last day of my work week!
4am here. Snuggling on the couch with my 3.5 year old who's been throwing up since 6pm. He did sleep 12-3am so he got some rest at least. Nothing left for him to puke I feel so bad for him he's so scared.
Hopefully ds2 doesn't get it now, but I'm fully expecting it at this point.
Poor thing! My DD got her first real sickness this winter and was so confused and scared, its the saddest thing. I hope he gets some more rest and can keep some food down today

DS has had these ninja poops the past few days, i dont see him do it, i dont smell it but there it is. Weird.

How does she seem? Acting herself? Did she eat normal yesterday and last night?Any chance that your SO changed her?
She's acting completely normal. If SO changed her I would be completely shocked. He doesn't do anything in the morning with her until I've nursed her and changed her. I tried giving her a bottle and she didn't want it. Maybe has something to do with her teething? She cut 2 teeth over the past 2 days.
We are up and getting ready to send DD to mothers morning out then to the dr for DS. He was fussy all day yesterday, very unusual, and in the afternoon he got a 102 fever. That made him comfortable enough to sleep but Im afraid this last eat infection didnt clear all the way up

Was it someone on here who said dressing a 7 month old is like dressing a slinky or did I hear that somewhere else? Either way its very true. Also, DS bit me for the first time this morning and those little chompers hurt!! Edited because spelling is hard.
Went for lunch at a local fish joint with DH, LO my mom and my grandparents yesterday. My grandfather was feeding LO spiced french fries...ugh. But he's 81 so I didn't have the heart to stop him. And LO was LOVING them. He doesn't seem to have any ill effects so no harm done I guess.
Today LO is seven months old. We're going to take his seven month pictures and pretty much relax around the house.

That is the most factual statement I've ever heard.
She finally peed! I did call the dr anyway and he wants to see her tomorrow since we are going to be driving all day today. All is well for now though!
purple, we got a nap in from 6-8 today, so that helped some. Thankful that it's one of my short days at work, and I don't have to go in until 11. No results on the biopsy yet... apparently their "3 days" actually means over a week. Hoping that I get answers tomorrow at my pulmonary appointment. I'm about to the end of my rope with having to go to, and pay, for appointments and additional labs when they have nothing to tell me in the first place.

Jinxed myself telling a friend about A sleeping well for a couple of nights. We were up constantly last night and he peed through a diaper while nursing which meant we had to completely wake up to change clothes. Of course he wanted to sleep great this morning when I needed to get him ready to go.
Anyone ever feel like a horrible mom because you are at work? I hate the fact that I am out of the house 99% of the time before DD is even awake for the day. I dont get to see her in the Mornings and then she is only awake for MAYBE 2 hours when I get home. I feel like I never get to see her and that I am a bad mom because I am out of the house and away from her so much. Sorry to be a debby downer this morning, just having one of those mornings.
