Well we didn’t get the house. I’m so disappointed. It felt like it could be our home too. This happened to us last year. The townhouse we got is much better for us though. You will find something great! |

I saw every hour last night.
Also, my oldest starts dance class tonight and I’m feeling lots of feels. I really hope she loves it like I did.
I also hope the baby stays quiet while we are there 😂

I know right? We owned nothing brown and I couldn’t find anything at the stores I looked in. Of all the colors. I’m laughing now - because the shirt dyeing worked out and it wasn’t horrible. I know its too late but Primary is my go to for solid color stuff like that. They just introduced a chocolate line for upcoming Halloween costumes. All those kids wanting to be poop emoji. |

Well we didn’t get the house. I’m so disappointed. It felt like it could be our home too. We lost a house we LOVED... and then not 2-3 weeks later, our house popped up. It was meant for us: the smallest house in the BEST neighborhood, just the right size for a young family, and within our budget. My friend had the same thing happen - they lost an awesome house only to find the exact right one for them in a few weeks. I’m officially sending the ju-ju to you. Same! We lost a bidding war for a house and I was devastated but our house was meant to be. Way more reasonably priced and we are very happy. Hang in there nevertoomanyshoes! House hunting is so stressful! |

I'm going to ask this at DS's 6 month appt, but figured I'd see what y'all say also.
I'm scheduled for surgery to get my lower wisdom teeth out in October. I'll be under anesthesia and the surgeon said he was told to recommend that I pump and dump for two feedings after I wake up. I will be given prescription strength Motrin and an optional narcotic for in between the Motrin. He said ask my doctor about when it was safe to BF after the anesthesia wore off.
Does anyone have experience or know the recommendation for those meds and BFing?
I guess I'll start pumping extra so I have a stash. Also I'll have to figure out the scalding thing since I must have the edges lipase issue. 😒

I was give a shot of morphine and a couple days or morphine pills when pregnant with DS2 and had hydromorphone after giving birth to DS1 due to a broken tailbone from the foreceps so I would assume you are good to bf anytime on those. |

To add, I called the office to ask what narcotic they give prescription for and she said codeine, but that I didn't have to take it. What I'm finding is that codeine is a no-no while BFing so I will be prepared to feed DS another way in case I need the codeine.

Maybe see if they can prescribe you something else that is bf friendly? |

It sounds like things might be different here because they gave me codeine while pregnant and told me it’s the only thing they’d give me if I went back to the hospital after a gallbladder attack (in June) but I had it already so they told me just to take it. I also have to pump and dump for 24 hrs after going under but maybe those are different too - or amounts? I hope your removal goes well though! |

Thanks everyone, I hope something comes up soon, the market is unusually slow here right now. I’m sure everyone’s ready to not hear my house hunting whines too lol!
I wish I wasn’t taking it so personally though my gawd.
Bright side, i need to organise the baby’s orientation at daycare as he starts one day a week in October (so he gets used to it before next year when I’m back 4-5 days at work). 3 hours to myself what ever will I do? The longest I’ve had since he was born is 30 minutes at the supermarket lol.

Your LO will be fine AND it will be good for them to get used to child care. Being a mom is WONDERFUL but it is also WORK. Working 24/7 is unsustainable. Three hours a week to yourself is nothing? Please. They can shove it. Tell them your internet friend Leaf goes to her job JUST TO RELAX AND BE ALONE. Some days I feel like I should pay my boss just to let me come and hide. Let them judge that for awhile. |

I’m sure my extended in-laws will have an opinion about it when we see them this weekend 🙄 I lied to my husband and told him I was out of eye drops in order to leave and go to the store after both kids were in bed. Also, DH and I made a deal where I would take DS1 to skating so that DS2 could get use to a bottle one afternoon a week. He clearly did not think this one through since arenas have an upstairs with a bar. |

Oh man. We are in teething hell here. He’s so grumpy and clingy. And we ran out of Tylenol so off to the store we go tonight! DS got his first real fever today and was so sad all day. I'm hoping and praying that it's just teething and not HFM. 😬 Not sure why I'm bothering to hope but.... He spit up right after the first dose of Tylenol which is perturbing because I wasn't really sure I could give him more then. He slept a lot thankfully and then he was awake late this evening and actually wanted to laugh and play in his crib. What are the chances that's the end of it? |

Hope he feels better soon. L spit up after Tylenol once too and our pedi said we couldn’t give him any more until the next scheduled dose. She even said we shouldn’t give a little extra if he spits some out while I’m giving it to him, which he’s done every single time. I’m not sure if he’s ever gotten a full dose. |

SEND THEM A PICTURE OF YOU ENJOYING A GLASS OF WINE AT LUNCH AND REALLY RUB IT IN. DAMN. Realistically, you will spend those hours cleaning, running errands, going to appointments, maybe working out or whatever, but I really do hope you do something for yourself - even if it’s just drinking coffee while sitting. They can shove it. I think I’m extra mad bc DH brings a kid to the grocery store ONCE and the entire world thinks he’s a GD rockstar parent. He is, but not bc he did something I do every. Single. Day. |

Leaf 🌱 DH has been primarily responsible for doctors appointments for both of our kids (since both times, I had burned through all PTO on mat leave) and he haaaates it when everyone makes a huge fuss over him being there, you know, parenting. He gets very angry and I get it. nevertoomanyshoes, they can stuff it. Enjoy your day, and I think its a great idea to get DS comfortable there before you go back to work. You will love having that time. My work schedule gives me half day Fridays due to the late nights I do earlier in the week, and although sometimes I use that time for me (pedicure, relaxing at home), most often I use it to power through my list of weekend chores (cleaning, grocery shopping, errands, etc). It still is a huge gift because then when I pick up the kids, I can actually spend quality time with them instead of balancing them against my chores. Either way, you're going to love that day. Good on you!
