I'm really hoping I do not have to go into work @ 10 but at the same time I hope I do. I want this inspection over with but I also do not want to work a 15 hour day!
Unicorn moms: I need diaper suggestions. If DD decides to sleep through a MOTN feeding, I don't change her diaper. But by 5 am, she's peed through everything.

At least she woke up happy about it this morning.
Which brand do you use? We have success with Luvs not leaking
I really want to schedule a massage with my wonderful massage therapist whom I haven't seen in over a year since he doesn't do prenatal massage. But I'm too embarrassed by how out of shape I am now to go see him. I could make an appointment with someone else, but it just wouldn't be the same.

I'm so mad at my dog. I just discovered she's been chewing the wooden rocking horse that was gifted to DD as an infant by her Great-Grandparents. I'm trying to see the lighter side by saying it adds character but she chewed the handle bar and it's ragged and sharp, same with the bar you put your feet on, the bottom of the tail has been chewed off and part of the nose. I'm so angry I can't even look at her, I banished her to the basement for now. She has toys and chew bones, she's on anxiety medication too. There is no reason for her to do this also she's 13, way last puppy behavior. I'm just so irritated at her.
This sounds like something that my G-D dog would do! SOOOO frustrating! Maybe once she's ungrounded she'll be a unicorn pup?

Go up a size for nighttime. Pampers also do a nighttime diaper we used for DS when I stayed with my parents but I'm not sure what size it starts from.

We use Pampers Swaddlers and Baby Dry. I think the baby dry ones hold up better (10ish to as late as 8 with 1 or 2 feedings in there). He's never leaked out.
I've also removed the insert from an honest diaper and put it in a swaddler, but i don't think it's that much better.

Is anybody else still experiencing night sweats? I feel like it's getting worse not better.
YES! A couple of times a week, at least. It makes morning showers necessary. I always feel so nasty, especially because my hair is falling out and I have sweaty strands stuck to me when the night sweats strike. I am a disaster and a half lately.
Also, it took me a freaking hour to drop off DD this morning because of crappy roads and construction. I need one of those boxes of joe from Dunks just for myself today. Ugh.
My favorite charge nurse who knows everything and makes every day of my life easier is retiring in 2 weeks. I am devastated.
Oh bummer! My favorite Doc retired about 2 weeks after I had V. It broke my heart not only because she is absolutely brilliant and the best person to consult with, but I had also asked her to be V's pediatrician (which is why I was one of the first to know she was retiring). She is basically my hero and is having a fabulous retirement already though - traveling to Europe and such. So I feel you, but it is probably good for her
famousea I am so sorry! That much have been really upsetting to find. I will keep my fingers crossed your dad can fix it up.
So I waited in all day yesterday for my sofa. It didn't turn up, so I called and turns out they delivered it to the wrong depot. They said they were going to move it to the correct one overnight and deliver today. It got to 12 and my tracking hadn't changed, so I call again. Now they say it is coming tomorrow... ALL. THE. RAGE.

I'm so sorry, that is really frustrating. Do you know anyone who does woodwork? Maybe they can just sand/carve it down a little over the bad spots? And you're right, even though it sucks right now, if it becomes a family keepsake it will be something to remember your doggie by years from now!

Call them back and ask what they are going to do for you. Money back, refund shipping charges, etc. That is bullshit. (Also, where from so I can avoid?)

I'm having a feel-sorry-for-myself-and-need-to-whine moment (sorry in advance for being a baby)- I have done all of the MOTN feedings/changing/etc. and put her to bed every single night since she was born. I also do drop off and pick up daily. I feel like DH has NO IDEA how much work this is and doesn't appreciate how much work I do, especially now that I'm back at work. I'm feeling resentful and a little bitter towards him, but truthfully, I don't think him helping with MOTN would actually be all that helpful since I BF and don't want to pump at night. But a little appreciation and some sweet words would go a hell of a long way right now. He also said that he feels like he needs his wife back...UMMM I'm sorry, dude, but I don't have much energy to dote on you when I am giving nonstop and getting little in return. GRRRRRRR! Okay, I feel bad even ranting like this since I rarely complain about him but it's cathartic to get it out. Sorry, again. Blurgh.

This dog will never be a unicorn dog. She's just an asshole.
I got out of work early last night. Yeah...What?! Usually it's so busy that I'm getting out an hour LATE, but I guess we weren't getting many calls. I decided to skip my last pumping session and just come home and feed the baby....but when I got home she was ASLEEP. Like...for the night. At 9 PM. I tried to dream feed her and she was so deeply asleep that she didn't even react to the boob! I ended up pumping at home. THEN, she proceeded to sleep 8 hours, eat, and then go back to sleep for another 2.5. What the what?! Either my nanny or my DH is employing some sort of witchcraft. I'm going over the Nanny's notes from the day and trying to figure out what she did so I can do the same thing today!

It is utter bullshit. I have been able to contact the store, but not the actual delivery company. The store is going to give me my shipping charges back. But we moved our furniture for the delivery, so we have to sit on the floor for 2 days..
The store was worldstores.co.uk and the delivery company is XPD Express.

If it makes you feel any better my dog chews the baseboards in the house and the wires to the air conditioning outside. He's super stealth about it too so I have to watch him like a hawk to prevent him from doing it. Fucking dogs!

Get the massage. He won't care.
I got massages from other people besides my usual guy during a job transition. It wasn't the same and I was never happy in the end.
mrssarahrenee I also have a donkey baby(tm) Even though I put her to sleep at 7:30, did a dream feed at 10, she was still up 3 times to eat, and another 1 time to fart for 30 minutes. Does everyone else's baby fart this much?? apk4 holy super mom! Good luck on the rest of your flight. I hope babe sleeps for you. Enjoy showing him off to your family! mrscjmb glad the boy is doing better today! spurp13 do you work with a bunch of high school girls? seriously... crawford411 ((hugs)) talkativ15 trade you...
I feel like super woman right now. I'm probably jinxing myself by saying this, but oh well. We left our house at 3:30 and it's 5 and we are waiting and ready to board at the airport.
DS has slept almost the whole time and I carried a suitcase, my big tote, the diaper bag, and the car seat all by myself to the gate. Woo.
FX the rest of the trip goes as well.
Random fact of the day. My dad went to high school with Linda carter who played wonder woman.

I'm sorry. It's really frustrating being the default parent, especially when your SO doesn't realize that you are the default parent. My H is guilty of this from time to time.
Last week, V was sleeping really terribly at night. I talked with him and we agreed that on the nights before I worked, he would take the first "shift" at night if she woke up and needed to eat, and then I would take the second. Since then, she has been she sleeping better (I have had to get up and feed her during my shifts but he so far has not), but just having the responsibility has changed his perspective. Its a burden that sometimes H's don't even realize is there.
The problem is that sometimes its hard for us to give up the burden! I felt a lot of guilt in asking him to do it because in a way, I felt like I wanted to be the person to get up and comfort and feed my baby. So a lot of times I feel like they don't know it's there because we don't let them really experience it.
