If any moms are pumping, get some freemies. They are AMAZING. That is all.

Taking the baby to the doctor tomorrow because the baby did three black poops this morning and I can’t figure out why. (And google is a scary place.)

ArielMermaid I hope baby mermaid is ok. I took J to the dr this morning for his 4 month checkup. He is officially a shrimp. 12 lbs 2 oz and 24.5 inches long. Other than being small, the dr said he looks good.

I hope I’m the crazy mom who is taking her kid to the doctor for no reason.
Baby Mermaid has been such a good girl that I’ve had anxiety she’s too good to be true.

ArielMermaid I hope it is nothing too. L has a cold or allergies. He had dark circles around his eyes, which I read can be a sign of allergies in infants. He also is congested and fussy, so it may be a cold. I might call the nurses line tomorrow to get there thoughts. We are on vacation at the ILs and he is trying to be happy but definitely is a little off.

Hello lovelies.
L barfed in his car seat today. B is so completely done with being in the car he cries pretty much the whole time he isn’t sleeping and the only way to calm him is to drive with the windows down.
We still have two 7 hr days left of this trip. I just want to be home.
Don’t worry. I retail therapied myself at Target today

I retail therapied myself at Target today I don’t know if L gets car sick or if it was just s one time thing, but children’s Dramamine works really well for DD. She gets car sick when we take long car rides like that. I think you can even buy it at Target if you need more retail therapy. |

Those Sea Bands bracelets work ok too if you can find some. They helped with my morning sickness with DD1. |

This baby is trying to kill me. Last night she was restless and up most of the night and tonight she’s been restless and awake for the last three Hours. I can’t.
Right now she’s all chatty and happy and fully awake.
It’s 5am. We have been doing this since 1:30am.

I'm sorry @ ArielMermaid, my baby doesn't sleep either. She's been up every hour of the night for WEEKS. I can get 3 hours if I'm holdong her and then she's wide awake at 4:30 when SO gets up for work. |

L is not sleeping well either. We got a 9 hour stretch the other day but I thinking was just a fluke. We were up several times last night. I know he might be fighting a cold so that doesn’t help. leatherpants That sounds rough, but I am glad you got retail therapy. I hope the rest of your trip goes quickly and uneventfully. We were in the car all day Saturday going to Iowa from Michigan. It was rough. I am not looking forward to the return trip. |

Speaking of too good to be true. We’ve had 2 kick ass weeks of sleep, he was sleeping 6:30-6:30 with one quick wake to nurse and right back down, I could even put him down awake and he’d get himself to sleep....it was amazing. Just hit a leap or sleep regression. He will only sleep in my arms and screams the second he senses I’m about to put him down. He has only slept 4hours in his crib in the last 24. ::fingers crossed:: this is short lived.
He just started wearing 9m clothes....day what now!?! He’s so big and I miss my baby.

This is it. This age/phase is a huge reason I don’t want any more kids. If I could have a bit of the newborn phase, then skip to at least a 9-month old with sleep somewhat figured out, I’d be golden. Solidarity, sweetc129 We were having some luck with sleep and even managed to put him down at that mythical “drowsy but awake” point for nap AND bedtime two days ago. But I’ve been paying for it since. Kid just wants to be on my boob all. day. And night wake ups are back with a vengeance. Did I mention I really don’t like most of this phase? |

2 ups, 2 downs: DS not STTN means I'm too tired to get up early enough to work out and missing my run is really a loss to my well-being. Also I KEEP getting clogged ducts. That resolve after one or two feedings, but ugh it's uncomfortable. Wish I knew why. OTOH We are vehicle shopping today to replace the car DH totalled. Probably buying a silver Edge. I'm not in love, but I think we'll really enjoy an SUV. And I've had Taco Bell and a Timmy's Ice Capp so far today 😊. I think I will go shopping at Once Upon A Child while DH does paperwork for the new vehicle. DS is growing out of 3mo pants and 6m rompers and sleepers will soon be too short.
Eta my other up was going to be I think I've got my supply back up, but it still makes me nervous when he only nurses for 5 min.

The rock n play stopped rocking last night.
Like, I was going to start working on moving him into a crib when we got home but I wanted to get through this damn trip. I needed one more night out of that bed.
SIGH.

katietopaz you took the words right out of my mouth. No thank you to doing the four month sleep regression a third time, I’m dying here with that plus toddler. DS2’s regression is playing out differently but it’s still super frustrating and exhausting. Naps are an even bigger battle than they already were and his night wake ups are super inconsistent. I’m feeding him if it’s been three hours since last feed otherwise I’m sending H in there to settle him. He’s started waking super early which wakes up the toddler who then is loud so baby doesn’t go back to sleep and starts the day an overtired grumpy mess (just like his mum 😐)

Poop acquired.
Not interested in doing that again. What a mess.
Bright side is it was a normal (maybe slightly darker).
This is so ridiculous. Damn Dr. Google.
I do love my doctor though. He didn’t make me feel ridiculous.

alwayscheese have you tried taking Sunflower Lecithin? It’s supposed to help with clogged ducts! I got them all the time while BF DD but I’m wondering if it was from my PISA because I haven’t had any yet with DS and I have a high supply🤔
