Sorry I was MIA all weekend. It kicked my butt.
I had 2 baby showers that I helped to host and I was running around like a madwoman. The sitter DH had lined up for yesterday was a no-show (queue RAGE), so DH pieced together childcare while still trying to work on the house siding. Long story short, everyone lived.
I also had a clogged duct yesterday that I had a bitch of a time clearing. I won't give you the TMI version, but suffice to say it was not fun. At least I've avoided mastitis, since I feel like that was where Righty was headed.
Meetings up the wazoo today followed by taking DD to her 6 month dentist cleaning. FUN (sarcasm font).

Wow ellabee! You deserve a nap! That's quite a weekend. We're laying low today. I'm dreading another week of crazy work and daycare adjustment so I'm soaking up some downtime with the kids today!

ellabee, what a weekend, hopefully you get some down time soon. We had such a great weekend that included a date and shopping so hopefully that good feeling carries over into the week.

Yesterday was awful E refuses to nap and sleep at night. I think it's teething but I could be wrong. I was bitchy to H last night and feel awful about it. Yet another busy week ahead of me.

So much sympathy for the teething both our girls were teething at the same time these last couple of weeks and it's hell. I'm sure haven't been super cheerful towards my husband either. I will think speedy teething thoughts for E!

I'm sorry for the lack of sleep and teething peaseblossom55. Fx things right themselves today! Yay for a date and shopping neekoneeko! Sounds like a fun weekend. Enjoy your downtime carrots! Hopefully work isn't *too* crazy this week. B has no teeth yet. Weird? Also, I had a dream last night that he woke up with 8 teeth, molars and all. Freaky.

ellabee wow I am tired just from reading that. @peaseblossom ((hugs)) hopefully today will be better neekoneeko sounds like you had a great weekend!! Q also doesn't have any teeth yet, I am okay with this. Work has been so busy and I just can't keep up with it, house stuff, and everything else. The good news is I am on vacation starting Wednesday!! Bad news is I am flying solo with Q internationally and I am a bit terrified 😬

No teeth here either ellabee! DS didn't get any until 8 months and it looks like M is following in his footsteps.

I can't remember when DD got her first...I may have to see if I put it down in her baby book lol. I'm actually nervous about B getting teeth because he HOUSES so much food as it is. I can't imagine what it's going to be like when he can bite chunks off things!

On Friday M threw up after having a bottle of formula (like for real threw up, not spit up) and has refused formula bottles since then. Breastmilk bottles are ok but she cries when she realizes a bottle is formula. So that's some great pressure when my output is dropping. I guess I'll give it a week or so and then try giving her bottles that are mostly breastmilk with a little formula? Anybody had a baby who refused formula?

I guess I'll give it a week or so and then try giving her bottles that are mostly breastmilk with a little formula? Anybody had a baby who refused formula? I'm sorry she's not into the formula. My first thought was to mix bm/formula together too. Maybe she'll get used to the taste gradually and then you can increase the formula amount? When B went into the hospital for jaundice around 2weeks old, he was away from me for a few hours and they asked if they could give him formula if needed. I said okay, but he flat out refused it. I kinda live in fear of needing to supplement because I know he doesn't like it. My output has been decreasing too and I feel like we're getting close to that point...::sigh::
