DS2 slept like crap last night and h and I can’t figure out why other than he was burping occasionally so maybe he had air stick. He’s currently sound asleep on my chest which means I can’t do anything I need to do and we’re supposed to get a foot of snow today.

Oh I forgot to mention the meeting we had for DD1 yesterday. It went really well. Apparently her IQ is in the 99th percentile. Which is amazing and terrifying. They sound like they have excellent services ready to go and I have no doubt she’ll love the challenge. But I also feel this weight to do more to foster her mind, and how will it be enough when my attention is divided among four kids?
Reality is she’s gotten this far all on her own. This isn’t something I’ve done, it’s just her being her. And the school really does seem to have a good plan in place to push her to her potential.

And we just finished our two month visit. 10lbs 2oz! I would have guessed more but that is still up three pounds from birth. We survived vaccines. He recommended not reintroducing dairy into my diet. And basically she looks great. Woot.

Girlfriend slept so well. I managed to workout for 45 min, shower, blow dry my hair, make breakfast for the bigs, and get DD1 ready for school. Now I’m feeding her. She has her 2 month well check after I drop the middle two at school. Hoping they’re on schedule and we have time to squeeze in a Target run before picking the girls back up! You are nursing right? I’m impressed your boobs let you do all of that before the first feed. My boobs are bossy and require I nurse before any activity!

I had to wake up early to hustle to campus and register for my first nursing course this morning!! I am so excited and simultaneously terrified. GL! Very exciting that you are taking this step.

Im really down about being perpetually groggy but I made my pp appointment, a pedi appt to discuss the miserableness (next tue) and a manicure appt for me for tomorrow. Making these appts feels like an accomplishment.

The last 2 days I used the new spectra pump and only got about an ounce from the left each session. Today I pulled out my Pisa and output was fine. I'm both relieved and annoyed.

DD is doing much better with the new iron supplement, thank goodness. She weighed in at 8lbs 6oz yesterday at 4 weeks adjusted (14w actual). She's grown so much in the few weeks that she almost outgrown all of her nb stuff. I managed to get a good side by side of 38w and 4w in the same outfit before she outgrows it:

DH and I got in a fight this morning.... well as close as we get to fighting. He didn't want to send DS2 to daycare because he's extra whiny. I told him I am on call if needed but just cuz I primarily work from home doesn't mean I get as much done with baby here. Especially a needy one with a cold. I already work most nights when the big goes to bed, I don't want to stay up late to do it so we don't inconvenience daycare. That's why we pay her...

Just got back from the baby’s two week appointment, she will be three weeks Saturday. She’s now 8 lbs 3.5 ounces, so she gained 12 ounces in a week and is over birthweight now. Everything else looks good.

It’s hard to say if dairy has done anything, and he said I could re introduce and have no affect, but he would think holding off until she is four or five months might keep it from really bothering her. 🤷🏼♀️

LO has been having green poops but is also on the tail end of a cough/cold. She’s been generally content though, so I’m hoping it’ll go away soon and it doesn’t end up being a dairy thing

amesie the pedi told me there are so many ways that a dairy intolerance can present and all of those things can also be something else so it’s nearly impossible to know. But also that cows milk just really isn’t the best in general... blah blah blah. I’m going to hold off on dairy for now, but we’re going to Disney end of April and I’m sure as hell going to enjoy the food. Lol.

YAH! Both kids are napping - the 4 year old is normally hit or miss with naps but with her not feeling well, I am glad she is napping. AND...J is taking a nap in the RNP. It may only last a short time, but my house is quiet.
I wish I could nap but too much caffeine has been consumed. I am waiting for my sister to bring me lunch.

Maternity leave has not been good on my wallet - I have purchased way too much stuff online.
I just had a Carters order delivered today and I didn't even remember placing an order there. Once I opened the package, I remembered!

MH took DD1 to go visit his sister too. She lives an hour away. I basically have the wholr afternoon to myself. ❤️
I made muffins and took a nap. Now I'm going to feed Liv, fold wash, maybe make w target run before dinner with just me and Liv. I'm making Mac and cheese, I think I'll make chicken tenders to go with it if I can get to the store.

I can’t say it’s always super comfortable, but for some reason I’ve just never had a huge issue being really engorged first thing in the morning. Plus today was just an upper body workout that required no jumping. My run days are less comfortable.

Happy Hump Day! DD2 is a month old as of Monday and I think we’re getting some decent sleep finally. She sleeps about 3.5-4 hour stretches at night in her crib. Although, it takes us a while to get her to fall asleep. DD1 never needed a pacifier. She was the easiest baby to put down for naps/bedtime. DD2 has to have the paci and I’m kind of kicking myself for introducing it because the second it falls out, she screams and getting her to sleep basically starts over again. Anyone have any tips/advice for me? DD1 found her fingers around 5-6 mo old and still sucks on them to fall asleep. I kind of wish DD2 would do the same, except find them now. MH is finally on the road to recovery 🤞🏻. We went to see a gastroenterologist yesterday and he also said it was likely just a bad stomach bug. But for 2 weeks? And he’s lost over 30 lbs. So I’m happy he’s getting back to normal. He does have some blood work and a procedure scheduled for next week to rule anything else out just to be safe. Last, here’s some pics of my babies! DD2 in a dress for her first baby shower! And, I took DD1 to kindergarten roundup last week. She got to see her new school and ride on a school bus! She’ll actually start begindergarten in the Fall, which I can’t wrap my head around. Where does the time go?!

Guys I am cautiously, very cautiously optimistic that Joel is turning a corner. Basically as soon as I complained that he won't lay on a mat he has started to. Not for long, maybe 5-10 minutes, and only when he feels like it, but I'm hopeful. Also one time he fell asleep!! Just totally by himself. Still won't sleep for more than 30 min, but baby steps!

mrsp84 your H’s illness sounds awful. I hope he’s on the mend now. It has been awful to see him suffer and there’s absolutely nothing I can do to help. I’ve basically been a single parent for the last 2 weeks. For all you single moms out there, you are some strong women! It’s not easy.
