Good morning! I have been up since around 5:30. I have showered, made breakfast for myself and G and gotten her out the door for school. Right now I am drinking coffee and trying to decide what I should clean. My niece and nephews are up from Florida. I’m hoping they will come and see me today. They haven’t met the baby yet and my niece hasn’t seen G since she was 2 months old. if they come by I will order pizza and we will hang out.

Good morning. I had the longest stretch of sleep since January 25!! 9:30-3!! wahoo. H went to work today but the schools are closed so DD is here with me. I'm supposed to start mom/baby yoga today but I guess thats not happening. I have to do baby laundry, I haven't washed the bassinet sheet (we only have one) since he was born and its starting to be visably discolored. yuck.
When does spitting up start to taper off? Ours has really picked up this week.

We have all been awake since about 4am. Or was it closer to 5am? I forget already. DS is getting his top molars so he was the one keeping us all awake, instead of our 1 month old. Getting together today with my co-workers that are also on maternity leave.
How much coffee do you guys (that are BFing) drink? I usually just drink one cup so I'm thinking of having just one more today. Or maybe I should just have a cup of tea instead. I have some that are lower in caffeine so maybe that is a better choice than more coffee...hmm...

benandjerrys, sorry you can't make it to the yoga class! Not sure about spit up, I feel like DD's has picked up this week too (she's 4 weeks old).

Good morning everyone! H STTN for the first time last night 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 she went from 930-430, then up for the day at 8. I feel like a million bucks. But then I came down the stairs and opened up my curtains and now have this view of my front yard (note: I’m not happy about it despite how pretty it is) 😭😭😭 But these adorable little goobers are at least happy today

I do one cup in the morning, then 90% of the time I do a second cup of 1/2 decaf either later in the morning or early afternoon. I haven’t noticed it affecting LO’s sleep at all

I seem to remember the spit up getting better around 6 months so still a while yet. The baby is 12lbs 6 oz and 24" long. 70 and 90 %ile! This is crazy to me since I'm under 5' tall. I have no idea where these big kid genes came from. DH is average height and everyone in my family is short/small.

Hi!
MH redid the end of the driveway since it got plowed in again. We all have cabin fever so I think we're going to the Italian market for chipsteak and lunchmeat and then stopping by my parents house. Just to be... Not in our house. Plus maybe we can take Emmas snow gear and she can run around in their fenced in yard (ours isn't fenced).
Mmmmm. Coffee is had.

The bassinet will be here today! So I think we're going to try to move to the bedroom. I'm excited to sleep in my bed.

I love the spectra. Its so much easier too use/clean than the medela. Also I just pumped 4 oz in 5 minutes and it took me 15 min to do that with the medela (although obviously my supply might be different).

I didn’t have issues with DD either & I drank tons of coffee during this pregnancy too so I figure he is fine haha.

Well DS slept from 10-5 & then until 8:30!! That’s the good news. Bad news is his nose is sooo stuffy. So he isn’t nursing well at all so super gassy & bubbly & just wants to be held. So I guess that explains why he slept so much last night he is definitely fighting off something. I had plans to go to Target today & get shoes for our dinner tomorrow but I guess I’ll do that tomorrow morning. For today I’ve got him in the solly & put DD in her room with toys for the morning.

Although I had a fever last night I wanted to come to the office today anyway to take my officemate who is retiring out for lunch. I'm slowly working on grading reaction papers on cohabitation, slowly grading.

Dealing with bad baby gas over here too. Last night H kept trying to change her diaper when he had her from 8-10 because he didn’t believe she could have such stinky toots. When he brought her up to me he said he changed her 3 times thinking she pooped. Oh H. 😂
She slept until 3:45 but would not go back to sleep soundly because of her gas. I really haven’t slept since her first wake up. It’s been a bad sleep week in our house. I’m not happy about it.

In better news I’m getting my hair colored today! It’s been so long. I had an appt scheduled for the day I delivered so it was missed!
I will be away from her for about 4 hours which is 3 hours and 55 mins longer than we have done so far. We have been glued together. I hope my nanny does ok, especially since she’s extra fussy. I’m not going to cancel though bc I need to beautify! I have fun plans every Saturday in March and must cover my gray hair.

Happy to sit here and not do anything while I bounce you :/ I’m sitting in my dining room, holding her, writing thank you notes and rocking side to side in my seat. Like lifting butt cheeks up and down. I must look ridiculous!

I feel more empty with the spectra since I’m eping. But I hate the tubes. I feel like if I move at all they pop off.

My house is a mess. DD hasn’t stopped crying this morning, I think she is feeling neglected & I hate that. I’ve yelled at her a lot today bc it’s frustratinf dealing with her + sick crying infant. Also she got him sick so I’m annoyed at her even though it’s not her fault. How terrible am I haha who blames an almost 3yo. Anyway DS is so off his regular feeding schedule...I’m bssically nursing him whenever he is happy so like every hour or so haha. He feeds for 5-8 min and is done. Just trying to keep him happy & keep him eating often enough to not tank my supply today (is that possible— tanking in one day?). Anyway I’m exhausted & H just called me from work & I started crying haha.

I don't understand the concern though if you're nursing every hour? Seems like that should be more than enough even if its not for long. Sending hugs. Have a cookie.
