Holy crap. $600 for nexplanon??? Looks like we're using condoms for a while. I've already got 3 months worth of the mini pill so I guess i'll use thay for now. Our credit cards are almost maxed out. Ugh.
So my doc told me that most insurances cover it. Did you call your insurance or was that just what you were told by the docs office?
We are doing a hot air balloon ride Saturday. We bought it when we first moved to Utah. I got ktfu and it had to be pushed so we are finally doing it. It means I need to stay home today and pump when I can so that our friends who are watching him can feed him. Ugh.
I set Ethan down, had a late lunch, and came to find that he had managed to get one of his feet out his sleeper
How do they do this? I bought all the infant swaddlers with Velcro and hands in. Can't use them anymore because he has managed for two nights in a row to get both his arms and legs out of it!!! Regular Houdinis!
I weighed Liam this morning. The zantac seems to be helping since Liam isn't screaming during every feeding now. I've been feeding him every 2 hours, including night feedings, since Monday, in the hopes of getting his weight back up.
He's lost weight.
I can't take it anymore. I broke out the emergency stash of sample formula and gave him 2 oz after breastfeeding him. I plan to do this after ever feeding. I feel like a horrible mother, that i can't do a simple thing like feeding my own child.
Feel free to message me. We had a really rough go of it for awhile! I basically disappeared from here for several weeks because of all the guilt and struggle. You can do this!

My sweet neighbor found out she had a miscarriage this AM. I'm giving her the info for this site so she has a place to talk about it. Please pray for her family if you're into that sort of thing.

Mud Pie is on Zulily today. If you aren't already a member you need to join! It's a flash sale site and I've gotten some really great nursing tips and baby clothes from there.
Ugh oh no! Is it bad enough you are needing to get treatment tonight? Fingers crossed he has an easy night and y'all can get the inhaler first thing tomorrow.

I can't decide! I'm not good at Halloween. I like homemade costumes but I never get around to it. Here are my thoughts so far.
1. Thor (Daddy) and his Hammer (baby) 2. Pilsbury Doughboy 3. Corn Dog (a corn cob with dog ears) 4. Fork, spoon & spork family costume 5. Cotton (like the bulb of cotton when you pick it) 6. Bash Brothers from Mighty Ducks (for daddy and baby) 7. Scuba diver
Don't know what will actually come to fruition though.
DH is pissing me off today. What's the point in taking leave to stay home and help if you're not actually going to help? He stays up late watching tv and playing on his phone, then complains about how tired he is. Meanwhile, I'm taking care of Teagan (and usually the other 3), by myself. It's almost noon, and he's sleeping. I could get so much done if he'd just wake up and pitch in a little. Ugh.
Go in there and wake his ass up. That's ridiculous!
livnluv2010 sorry to hear about your Mom. Hope she has a speedy recovery.
Going to get nexplanon inserted today. Forgot a pill and was all NOPE. I'm hoping I'm not one of those who gains weight on it because I think my brother is getting engaged today (he tends to be a little elusive but hinted it was going down today) and I want to look good for the wedding.
B will cry if he doesn't have his paci when he's awake and not being fed. I get maybe a few short periods a day where he'll try to interact but then the crying starts. The only cure is the paci. I have seriously mixed emotions for the thing.

HELP: I'm going to make mashed cauliflower but everytime I do it it comes out inedible because it's so watery. I found yet another recipie. Has anyone made this and can give me the secret?
@janetheconquerer I originally read this advice in a funny article of things people believed for way too long, but I gotta say, for me scare tactics worked. The advice/scenario was: These parents told their kids that the oil stains on the street were dead kids who didn't hold their parents hands in parking lots or while walking. That may make you laugh, or horrify you.
I'm sorry you are having a rough go of it right now.
zonagirl I change him and he starts having a hissy fit. Then I give him the boobs and he's happy. So basically I'm magic.
I always try to nurse after things that piss him off like diaper changes and baths. He starting to get frustrated with tummy time (which he liked at first) so I may have to adjust when I do that.
Screw you, fenugreek. I did not want a letdown so forceful that it drowns my child. I have to say, milking myself into the bathroom sink to relieve pressure is something I could have done without.
Wait. I thought you were dealing with oversupply? Why are you taking fenugreek? I felt like my boobs were going to explode when I was taking fenugreek! Don't google that one for gif purposes unless you want nightmares.

So I put B in his nursery tonight. I must hate myself because now I'm still fucking awake staring at the damn monitor. If he were in here I'm pretty sure I'd be asleep.

Here is my opinion. Start the secret FB group. Those who are ready to join, do so. There are so many of us who want to "leave things as they are" we will still need to check in on here to really be apart of everything. I don't think that we will see a large decrease in traffic here if a FB group is started at this point

Right now he eats on this schedule and for the most part sticks to it. I feed on demand if he gets fussy and then wait until the next feeding time. 1:30a 6:00a 8:30a 11:00a 1:30p 4:00p 6:30p 9:00p
I just started following this and after a two days he was right there with me. I was surprised it worked out that way.
Edit: I just wake him up by changing his diaper for the feedings. He normally naps after a feeding. I try to have at least two periods of time where he stays awake between feeding. I always make sure before 9pm he is up so he'll go to sleep for longer!
