My mother in law is here while MH & FIL go pick up something from an hour and a half away. I have just discovered I have a clogged duct. I’m so fucking miserable. I just want to lay down and cry somewhere. Can your MIL entertain toddler mermaid while you try and nurse Abby mermaid until the clog is out?☹️ |

whatsit I'm pretty sure your thinking is correct! I did my undergrad and master's here so I know the university very well. That's so neat that you went here, too! 😊

I just want to lay down and cry somewhere. Can your MIL entertain toddler mermaid while you try and nurse Abby mermaid until the clog is out?☹️ I’m trying. Baby is fussing because there’s nothing coming. I’ve tried gear and massaging and pumping. Whyyyyyy. |

And baby mermaid is teething bad. She never fussed or cries, tonight she’s a mess. Of course. My MIL is always around for my worst moments by sheer bad luck.

Does anyone else have a baby with eczema? What cream do you find works the best?
N has it in the usual places but it's also developed around her eyes. Our doctor said to gently pat cream on her eyelids but of course she hates it and it's pretty much impossible to do it without getting it IN her eye... We've been using cerave cream but I don't think it's working all that well.

We are totally wrapped up in escrow and packing shenanigans over here. I’m ruthlessly purging a lot, but even though I’m 99.9% sure we’re done having babies, I can’t bring myself to get rid of the baby gear/clothes that DS2 has outgrown yet. leatherpants I’m dying and jealous of your snow. It was over 90 here yesterday. ArielMermaid I’m so sorry about the clog and the fussy baby. A friend always got clogs in places that were most effectively solved by dangle-feeding. I think you want to try to point baby’s chin toward the clog? I’m sorry, I’m sure you’ve tried everything. mintyblueair DS2 has suuuper sensitive skin and I’ve had the best luck with Cetaphil Baby lotion. |

I’m going to try that today katietopaz. I was having a hard time effectively doing anything with my mother in law here. It’s on the top so I’m going to have to try to feed her upside down and hope she doesn’t get distracted by it. 😂 |

I wish I had something to talk about other than complaining. I feel like that’s all I do here, still.
Good news, DD1 went into her dance class last night and participated. Last week she freaked out and screamed and cried and wouldn’t go in. We are now 2/3 on class, so... that’s a win!

mintyblueair There is a OTC lotion that we have been using on DS1 that seems to be helpinh. It is a blue container and we got it at Superstore. I have a friend that has a son who has had bad eczema since birth who has always needed a prescription of hydrocortisone.

Sorry about the clogged duct ArielMermaid. I’m glad that toddler mermaid had fun at dance class. DD started Girl Scouts a couple of weeks ago. She is normally really outgoing, talks to anyone, and makes friends easily. For some reason, at her first meeting she was really clingy to me and didn’t want to go in the room. Sunday, they had a activity at a gymnastics gym. She didn’t want to go and asked me if I’d stay with her. I told her ok and let’s go and try it, if we don’t have fun we can leave. She ends up having so much fun she throws a fit about when it was time to leave. I hope it ends soon...she wasn’t even this bad when she started kindergarten in August. |

Just as I got DS2 down for his second wake up of the night the smoke detector in DS1's room started beeping. It didn't wake him but both my DH and I have been up since 3 am. DH switched the battery for the one in our garage around 5 when DS1 stirred a bit. DS2 has a good night and I am still tired :+.

Closest Target is less than 5 min away. Now that I have L, I don’t go as much, but my Target spending used to be bad. So bad. Or good? Depends on if you’re me or my H.

N was 18lb 14oz at her 6 month check-up yesterday 😲
I ordered a convertible car seat for her because it's hard to carry her in the bucket seat now.

That looks so good! I can’t wait for the weather to be cool enough for soup and chili. Soup when it’s 80 degrees out just doesn’t sound good. My only problem is that I’m probably the only one that would eat it. DH doesn’t like broccoli and DD is such a picky eater. I could Jamie this for me and let DH fend for them though, right? 😉 This recipe looks amazing! Mel’s Kitchen was mentioned in the blog post. I make a recipe called “cowboy dinner” from that site and it’s so good! Kind of like Mexican Sheppard pie. |

I won a free massage and a bottle of wine from a raffle at my dentist!!! Finally something good is coming from all those appointments. Except for, you know... new teeth. Yay!!!! I think every dentist office should do this! Apparently my dentist does parafin wax hand treatments during cleanings now? I’m kind of weirded out by it. |
