There’s someone on my local buy and sell looking for anything for a baby for cheap or free and I reallllly want to PM her to discuss clothes (she doesn’t know the sex if the baby yet) and would be a perfect way to offload some stuff and I just can’t bring myself to do it bah! It’s such a weird feeling, because I’ve been so much at peace with being done again, and I realllllly want the storage space back that all their clothes are taking up (especially the boys stuff..but N is going to be moving to 6M clothes soon so I’m going to be starting to store away girls stuff again). I know there’s no sense rushing but I don’t know why I’m having such a hard time with it. I’m almost thinking it’s more the sentimental value of it being his old stuff, than the “what if we do this again” too.

Don't wash her hair. Lice like clean hair. I only wash it every three days as it is. I also bought stuff that is supposed to repel them. When I do send her back I am putting her hair in the tightest braid I can with the stuff in her hair. Every morning, i spray DD’s hair with a spray bottle of water and tea tree oil. Supposedly, tea tree oil repels lice. |

rebeccabunch it’s going pretty good, I just have to make sure to get out the house once a day to keep the 3yo from driving me crazy. Lol napping also helps my patience. 😂 unfortunately h might be staying until Sunday in lieu of Friday! 😭 ETA: thanks for asking!

My baby is 10 weeks today! That’s so crazy to me! I feel like she’s so big and not a baby anymore even though I know she is.

I called my mom this morning bc H has a night flight so I have the entire day solo-parenting until bedtime. I needed new ideas of stuff to do with DD since we can’t go anywhere while she’s sick. Thankfully we had a great morning & it’s almost naptime! DS has basically been sleeping ALL MORNING. He isn’t sick but I feel like they should be awake more now? Lol all he wants to do the last few days is sleep & eat. I’m going to assume growth spurt. Which can’t be possible bc he is already HUGE lol. DD was 16lbs at her first birthday & im pretty sure he is already somewhere in the 14-15 range.

V gained 1lb 3 oz in two weeks! I'm so happy. She's 7.5 lbs now.
It was a big struggle to get DS to gain so this is a relief.
She still hasn't lost her cord stump but the doc cleaned it and pulled it a little and he thinks it will come off soon.
He rec'd vitamin d drops too. Are you guys using them?

DD didn’t lose her stump until like 5 weeks. They had to put silver oxide or whatever it’s called on it to make it fall off! Also we are using D drops but I forget half the time. |

The baby is laying next to me on the couch. He is giggling to himself and it’s cracking me up.

Looks like I have a second fat baby on my hands. Just like his older brother, DS2 eats constantly. He’s gained more than a pound in two weeks. This brings him up to 10lbs, 3oz.
If that could just lead to some longer sleep sessions at night, that would be great 😴

I remember a few days a week. ETA: I believe if you are breastfeeding and taking a prenatal with Vit D recent research has shown some of that goes through to babe. So not to say that you shouldn't do both, but I feel like if I remember either prenatals OR vit D I'm ahead of the game. |

We are experiencing thunder snow. It’s happened here before but it’s always weird. Also the baby didn’t get up to eat 1 like I thought he would. G is napping so my house is nice and quiet.

We are doing the biogaia probiotics that have vit D in them. I don’t know if the probiotics are helping but just in case they are, I never forget to give her the drops.
They come out real easy and I drop them in when she happens to be crying.

Add me to the forgets the vitamin d drops half the time. If I keep them handy I a more likely to remember but then the toddler opens then and you know how that goes.
I'm heading to the baby's 2 month appointment shortly. I'm curious how much he weighs. I feel like he is huge.

I bought vit D and have yet to remember.
I think we're hitting our first growth spurt. Little lady has been eating a good portion of the day.
I would love to hear how to keep my H and DD1 from constantly fighting. I feel like every hour they are at each other's throats and I just can't handle it anymore.

I was just looking at the calendar and realized that my maternity leave is almost half over. Makes me sad.
I am not looking forward to what our daycare cost is going to be once J starts in the "infant room". Money Money Money.

They are eating chicken wings on Harry (show on ABC)...I want chicken wings now.
All I am thinking about is food today...bacon, wings, ice cream, etc.... (all non-healthy items)

I'm bad about the drops too. Oops.
And re: mat leave, I only have 1.5 weeks. Sob!!
I'm trying not to think of it!!
We have friends/fam visiting next week so hopefully it should make me not obsess about going back to work. The good news is H will be staying at home with LO until he's 6 months. I'll be jealous!

My ped recommended them until she was getting 50% of her food from formula/food (which she pretty much has been from the beginning) so we have some samples but I've only used them a few times. |

Faith is 6 weeks old today and has been eating more frequently today so I suspect another growth spurt. I'm anxiously awaiting her first "real" smile, her sleep smiles are sweet so I can't wait for the real thing.
I'm halfway through maternity leave and I'm debating going back to work 2 weeks early to minimize the unpaid leave portion, but at the same time I know I can't get this time back. I would love to have 8 hours to myself without being responsible for caring for her and using my brain instead of killing brain cells watching My 600 Pound Life and Hoarding: Buried Alive... I love her, I do, but a short break would be nice.
Monday we will have our first real date night since she was born, my sister is going to watch her while we go to a hockey game. I'm sure that will be the little bit of "normal" I need...

I found my new favorite nursing spot! I have a 3pc sectional and I'm nestled right in the corner. I love it.

I’m doing everything alone tonight bc H won’t be back until after we’re all in bed. So I’ve already started the wine. DS has been super weird with his nursing today so idk what to expect tonight. I’m putting him in the RNP thoufh bc of his drainage. My wrist brace came today (I’ve been having really bad tendinitis) and it already feels so much better!! We picked up Olive Garden for dinner & im sipping on wine & soup & after I put DD to bed I’ll probably finish the rest of my meal.
