I woke up feeling the best I have in a week. Cue an hour later with the nurse calling me to get DS1 because he was pale as a ghost and had a fever. She mentioned there’s a violent stomach bug going around and of course I had to take the baby into her office that was full of kids. And now I’m on the couch waiting for h to get home bc I can’t stop shaking and have another fever.

What's the deal with frothy poop? Exculsively breast fed. ETA only started yesterday and my diet hasn't changed.

So we are weighing our options between a major addition at our house and moving. We currently live in an older neighborhood with mainly remodeled homes but small rooms and not much storage. I like the character of older homes but would love some more space. In looking at new construction/custom homes in my area, pretty much all of them have the master on the main floor. Is that a thing now? Having young kids, I would like to be on the same level so I'm not walking stairs all night. My only guess on it would be people planning for the future and not wanting to do stairs when they are older but why does every single house I like have this feature? I really don't want to have to go through the building process because while I know what I like I am also indecisive on stuff and also impatient. Does anyone have their master on the main level and love it?

I went back to the doctor today to follow up from my eardrum rupture and because I still have a bunch of sinus pressure and fluid in my ears from the infection, so now I was prescribed a nasal spray to hopefully take the swelling down in my nose and hopefully clear fluids out of my ears with the reduced swelling (and if that doesn’t work they are going to refer me to an ENT bleh!) Anyway, all that to lead up to my story. I was walking up the stairs to the clinic and a family was leaving with a baby in a car seat and one of the little kids said "Mom that lady has a baby just like us!" And the mom said "yes but her baby is big, ours is just brand new!" Bahhhh it was so sad it just doesn’t feel like it was that long I was walking into the same clinic with a 2 week old for her first checkup and everyone thought she was so preciously brand new too!

sarahh our house is just a floor level and basement so us and the girls (each have their own room, at least when N moves into a room) are currently on the main level and DS in the basement. My future plans involve moving the girls downstairs too when they are older so the kids can take over the basement. Laundry is in the basement. This is the only house we’ve lived with the kids and plan on it being our forever home so I’ve probably just accepted it haha, but this setup works for us.

sarahh we’ve noticed that a lot looking at homes. Our master is upstairs in our current house, but if/when we build (which likely won’t be for 3+ years) I’d consider putting it on the main. But I wanted to be on the same floor as our kiddos while I have two under 3.

tiffrobot, ajetter, yeah I don't think I will mind it as much when the kids are older but that is probably 5 years down the road and we are thinking of doing this in the next year or two. Currently we are in a split level so if we were separated (we aren't - master and 2 br are upstairs and guest room is down) it wouldn't seem as far since its only a few steps up and down but in the new houses the distance seems a lot bigger. You'd think that builders would recognize that some people prefer all bedrooms on the same level. So if we do move, our option is custom home or buying an older home and remodeling which I'm not sure I want to do either. Ugh. I guess for now I will focus on purging stuff from our current home so it feels bigger.

sarahh that makes sense. I think my brain wasn’t adding up as to where you were describing each of the rooms! If it helps, we moved DS to the basement when he was just a little over 4 years old and it worked for him (we put the baby monitor in his room so he could talk to us if he wanted) but I’m sure it’s one of those things that works at different ages for different people!

benandjerrys www.breastmilk.com/foremilk-hindmilk-imbalance-oversupply.phpI hope that helps! kbw oh no. You keep getting hit one after another. I hope you feel better soon!!! Hanging at my mom's today. We went to the mall to get DD1 sneakers at Stride Rite. She's a size 8 at 2 and 4mo :-O I also got her some new PJs since she just popped through a growth spurt. Yikes!! We're having dinner here too so i didn't have to cook which was really nice. My 10 day has a few days next week in the 60s. I hope this is the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel!!!!! I need it holy cow. What pants is everyone wearing? My mat pants are too big but my regular pants are too small.

I decided that spending the next few months being sad that I had nothing to wear and feeling bad that I couldn't fit into my jeans wasn't worth it. I do feel so much better when I get dressed now so it was worth it!

I think that fennel tea + wearing her more in my wrap has really increased my supply. I don’t think the tea is doing much for her sleep but I’m not holding it against the tea because I’m not giving it to her directly.
Dairy Free Day 1 in the books.

I just don't wear pants. Tunics/dresses and leggings or jeggings are my jam.

I also bought some second hand jeans to wear for now. I am a jeans wearer, even at home I like jeans instead of sweatpants or leggings. Also, in big news I was able to squeeze into a pair that I bought last summer as a pair of jeans to wear before I was ready for full on maternity pants...I've been trying to put them on like every couple of weeks and I could finally get them on yesterday yay! V slept in her own room until about 5am (with multiple wake-ups before then)! I think I was able to sleep more deeply than when she was in our room so I'm calling it a win. rebeccabunch, I wonder if the baby wearing is helping my supply too. I just have to do it more since I'm running after DS. I didn't start doing it with him consistently until he fit in the Ergo comfortably I think.
