Oh clementine hug to you. That’s rough. I hope the afternoon goes better and he can nap. Is he allowed his own blankets and stuff there? Maybe sleeping with one of his and taking it in tomorrow will help him nap for the first couple days until he’s used to it? Thanks! The afternoon was better and he ended up napping for over an hour. H got off work early so he picked him up which made me feel better. That is a good idea about the blankets, I’ll have to try it!

Things I have become wayyy too used to on maternity leave... - stretchy pants. I tried to just pull my pants down without unbuttoning them every time I went to the bathroom today. - leaving my shirt halfway up after nursing. I would advise that you pull down your shirt completely after pumping before walking out of your office. - nonstop snacking. I was hungry. all. day.

clementine glad the afternoon went well. the other thing i can’t get used to when wearing regular pants now...zipping my fly. the barn door is always open leatherpants 😍 he is so sweet. it’s amazing how fast they grow. i hope that you see an improvement asap with the tongue tie getting fixed as for me, h is on call and didn’t make it home for bedtime. dd1 is really acting out and i think it has to do with dc. today was rough and i ordered 123 magic and the whole brain child today in the midst of a few meltdowns. i hope they can give me some insight. i got both of the girls down and am currently enjoying a glass of wine, some goldfish, and southern charm. hoping to be asleep by 9:05. i hope everyone gets some sleep tonight

leatherpants hope everything went well with B’s appt today! What a huge change in how that onesie fits him. It seemed to go well. We go back next week for a follow up. I’m really hoping it’s the miracle cure to a happy baby. Or at least some easier feeds.

Yesterday was my grandparent’s 50th anniversary so we had a little dinner for them at my house. We had steaks on the grill and I already can’t wait for the leftovers at lunch time!

DHs cousins daughter is graduating high school today. I told his cousin we would go, since she is the first person in her immediate family to graduate. I just hope I can find something to wear. I didn’t think of that when I said we should go.

cp3 how did the hearing test go? She was too upset to finish it so we go back in a few weeks. Her first test showed minor hearing loss so her audiologist just wants more information and to try to narrow down if it's from the scar tissue from her ear tubes. The test she won't complete, she has to wear earbuds in her ear and she freaks about having anything in her ears so she doesn't last long. The plan is to do a little at a time and so she gets more comfortable with them. They do other tests and one sends sound waves through her ear and back and that test shows the hearing loss. And the results have been different all 3 times with this week's being worse than last time so she wants to make sure her hearing isn't getting worse. Her speech is fine but I'm going to meet with her teacher and see if she notices any hearing problems as well. Sorry for the novel. This poor kid has been through a lot and I just want some final answers so we can get a plan to help her.

Well I hope they can finish the test next time so they can get a better idea of her hearing levels and a plan for the future! I can imagine it would be so tough to do that test with a little one.

Just picked up meds for mastitis 😑. I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus. Thankfully my boob hurts much less than yesterday - I think I got rid of the clog but still developed an infection. All my joints ache. I slept until noon today - thank goodness DD2 is going through some kind of growth spurt and has been sleeping crazy hours.

Thanks everyone. I think the meds are kicking in and my mom said we could all go camp out her house tomorrow morning since DH has a long OT shift. If any one has any boob soreness get it checked out ASAP. It went from “that hurts” to “I’m probably gunna die” so fast.

Happy weekend ladies. I am sorry I’ve been Mia. I can barely keep up with dishes and laundry these days never mind showering and drinking my coffee. I’m useless without coffee. Anyway, I’m reading along with you.. Leaf 🌱 I’m glad you got meds and leatherpants I hope they reprogrammed your baby when they clipped his tongue. polson I’m here and available for a zoo date in about a week - for real.

I don't know what is worse, spilling a bottle of pumped milk or watching baby spitting up after a good feeding.

Hope you’re feeling better Leaf 🌱!! My high school friends are visiting for the weekend. We went to an estate sale and got our nails done so that was fun! H and L are having a boys day at home and then we’re going to grill out later. Shaping up to be a nice little Saturday.

I took a 2 hour nap today and feel like a new woman! Our whole family seems to be fighting a cold so I’m hoping this extra sleep helps me kick it quicker!

Hi ladies, add me to the having trouble keeping up club! I’m struggling so much with my older two — we are definitely seeing some behavioral issues that I think are stemming from our new family situation. I’ve been on the fence about seeking a therapist for my 8yo for awhile, but this is giving me the push to move forward.
Anyway, today I’m getting a break from all that: I went dress shopping with my sister who is getting married in the fall and am now getting a pedicure while my mom watches the baby. I feel like a human again!!!

There’s nothing you can do to prevent the spit up. 🙁 Except for the spitting up is a repeating event of waste. Hopefully the spilled milk is a rare occurrence. At least spit up from an EBF baby does not smell anything like the formula spit up I remember from my older kiddo.
