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.
I bought overnight diapers that were a size up from what he wears during the day and those work really well! He's only peed through them twice when he was peeing through the regular ones every night. Hope that helps!
I don't know if you ladies remember me discussing my nephews liver transplant last year. But we have had some worrying news, his transplant was needed because his body cant handle protein and it turns to ammonia and poisons his body. Today we got his annual check up results and his ammonia levels are high.
This could be the beginning of liver rejection. They are on their way to the hospital now, keeping everything crossed they can bring the levels down quickly.
I'm so sorry. Fx they figure it out soon and he gets better.
DH woke C up this morning while I finished up some items downstairs. When I went up to help, they were "holding a contest" to see who could blow the most raspberries. So cute.

kaylajade That is worrisome news. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed that they are able to bring his levels down and he starts to feel better ASAP. Keep us posted.
Thanks for the encouragement, lady's...I am just having a really emotional morning for some reason and I'm not sure what triggered it all. It's nice to know that I have support here!
Some days are just harder than others for no obvious reason. Hang in there!
Thanks everyone. I am going to go and visit them when SO gets home. I doubt I will be able to see my nephew as he is likely to be in the ICU, but hopefully I can offer my sister some support. As his father is a waste of space and isn't going with them.
You must teach me your traveling with LO secrets before C and I fly across the US in a month. Yep, just the two of us on a 5 hour flight. I did, however, buy her a seat so I can put her down at times. But any and all travel tips would be appreciated.
I know this was for apk4 but I'm gonna answer you too.
You'll be fine, don't stress. I've traveled solo with DS twice, at 7mo and 19mo. Both times were international flights 7+ hours flying.
Take pacis, two or three spare outfits for her, one full change for you (incl undies). A couple of toys or small books. Wear baby in the airport. Take extra diapers because flying does funny things to little tummies.
I took an A+A swaddle and used it as a scarf/nursing cover and blanket for baby.
I 2nd the A+A style swaddle. We flew a couple weeks ago and LO comfort nursed almost the entire time. Spare clothes for you too. LO had a blow out during take off. Ziplock for dirty stuff.
Little E fell asleep on the way home from daycare last night around 5:30, which is typical, but he usually wakes up shortly after we get home. Last night, he did not wake up. I let him sleep in his car seat for a while, then I thought I would go get him out and that would wake him up for bath time and feeding time, but he didn't wake up and just snuggled into me. So I skipped bath time and changed him into jammies. That woke him up, but he was mad about it and fell back to sleep while eating. He slept until 5:45 this morning!
He's been sleeping through the night (between 7 and 8 until 5:30 or so when I get him up for daycare) since I went back to work, but last night was strange!

I hope everything turns out okay!! Thinking about you and your nephew!
We finally had sexy time. It was kind of like the blind leading the blind, because we haven't done it in so damn long AND we were both scared of it hurting. While it wasn't as good as normal, it wasn't awful. YAY for orgasms!

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.
I'm sorry. I have no advice. Just solidarity. The only way I get my point across is when DH is trying to get my attention and I explain in very long detail as to why I haven't done x,y,z (with a "sorry I'm not at your full beck and call but today I woke up at 4, got the baby up, got him dressed and fed, got myself changed and ready, dropped DS off at the sitter, went to work for 8 hours where I'm overworked and underpaid, drove an hour home, picked up DS, came home, bathed, fed, and changed DS, got him down for bed, finally ate at 8pm, and collapsed for the day...repeat for 5 days") it gets the point across.

The douche across the aisle from me opened his window shade. The sun has risen. Now I have bright light shining right on my face. The whole rest of the airplane is dark.
I hate when that happens. Close the shade, asshole.

I struggle with the "I want my wife back" issue, too. It's hard! Vent away.

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.
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.
Probably late with this joke but I gotta...do you normally have happy endings! huh huh.. I'm 12.
