C is 1 week old today and has a runny/stuffy nose. Is that “normal”? Is he sick?

MIL is picking up DD1 this morning and keeping her until after nap 🙌🏻 I am so excited for all the things I’m going to be able to get done today. I’m STILL not unpacked from the hospital and we’ve been home for 2 weeks now. I’ve been able to stay on top of getting laundry done, but I haven’t been putting it away. So there are piles of clean laundry all over the place and it’s driving me nuts.

Baaaad bad night last night. H was up to leave for work at 1:30am so no help to me, DS was up every 45-60 minutes with painful gas. Lesson learned— tacos & baby don’t mix. I feel like death right now. I’m sitting here rocking a very angry DS while we wait for DD to get picked up for the morning. I’m making coffee and laying down on the couch ASAP.
Also feeling like the worst mom ever— at 6am DD rah in bc she had to go potty. DS and I had just fallen asleep so I was pissed to be woken up (and she sort of woke him up with her enthusiastic “I have to go poooo poooo!!”) so I was a real bitch helping her go potty. I could just hear DS screaming in our room and DD wanted to do it all herself which takes 10x longer so I was so mean & impatient, I made her cry. And then I told her to stop bc I couldn’t handle them both crying & she cried harder & said “I want to cry, I am sad mommy!!” 😭😭😭 soooo feeing pretty crummy this morning about all of that.

Going to a rock concert tonight! I likely won't be drinking because obviously the baby will have us up MOTN regardless. DH already asked if we could leave early. We paid too much for these tickets, no. Also... why is it tat you can't get concert tickets for under $50 after ticketmaster fees? We ate in the nosebleeds and it was still $120 for 2 of us.

dragonflyinn Hugs. I’m sorry you had such a crummy night. Trying to help DD1 with something while DD2 cries definitely gets me stressed and impatient too.

I’ve paid an embarrassing amount of money for tickets to shows. I admit though that I am spoiled and more than likely will pay lots of extra money for better seats. I hope you have fun!

dragonflyinn I’ve totally lost it on the older siblings when it really was the baby frustrating me. But you can’t be mad at or attempt to reason with a baby (nor can you reason with a 2 or 3 year old but hey) so yup, totally have taken it out on the siblings and then I feel so bad. Hugs mama.

Thanks you guys. I did apologize to her when she woke up for school and she didn’t even remember it had happened. I almost cried when my friend picked her up, I was so glad to get a break & just so tired & seeing the face of someone who loves us just gave me all the feels for some reason. I’m drinkjng coffee & laying on the couch now haha.

So there are piles of clean laundry all over the place and it’s driving me nuts. This is my worst habit— leaving baskets of clean laundry everywhere. I’ve been trying to do smaller loads every day so I don’t get overwhelmed and that has helped with me putting it right away. DH was like “look at you, laundry queen!” Haha

Hi!
No errands today for us. Just hanging at home and watching the parade 🦅
MH just made my day. The back up center at work occasionally offers "freebie" days that don't count against our usage. We just pay $15 for the day. Next week is all freebie days. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I told MH we needed to do at least one day if possible. I'm all about that while I'm on leave for DD1 so. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hugs dragonflyinn. If it makes you feel any better trust that you aren’t alone when that happens. I feel horrible every time but, we’re also only human and doing our best, limits will always be pushed.

helloerrbody I can also add that N is almost always stuffy. I wasn’t sure if she was sick or the dry air.

But she’s also been coughing here and there and sneezing a lot so I’ve been thinking she caught DD1’s cold. I would keep an eye on it, I know that L is a preemie but the doc told me that he if he was coughing it was a cause for concern. I think that RSV is super bad this year.

She’s had 2 wt check visits since it started and the dr has listened to her lungs and checked her out each time and says she’s fine. It hasn’t progressed at all and she’s been fever free and eating/sleeping fine.

tiffrobot, your family is beautiful! You all look so happy! I’m here. Getting ready to head to my last appt. I have zero expectations that I have made any progress over the last week so I’m expecting the doc to say “yep still 1cm and 50%”. To which my response might be “🤬🤬🤬”. We are supposed to get up to 10” of snow throughout the day tomorrow so I’m hoping we don’t need to make the drive to the hospital (usually a 25 min drive without traffic).

Does anyone else's kid have trouble latching? It's not that he can't- his latch is fine, but he prefers to put my nipple in and out of his mouth for five minutes before finally latching, screaming with hunger the whole time. I've tried feeding him when he first shows signs of hunger but he does it then too. It's very annoying. Weight gain is good and latch is ok so. Thinking this is a personality thing not an anatomical thing.
