Ty's already been up 3 times crying. He feels warm. I have a feeling my boobs are going to be sucked dry tonight. I think he's going to get some Tylenol. It's been awhile since I've given him any. I don't even know the dosage. He weighs 23lbs. Guess I should look it up.
Hopefully everyone is in dreamland and there aren't any other sick babies.
He can be so utterly cruel. Apparently asking him to watch Zoe for an hour is this terrible thing. And it means I hate being near her. And he had to throw in that MIL watches her more then me.
Well she is our babysitter. And that stung because I really wish I could work less or stay at home.
I get mad at him because he has been hiding out in the bedroom at night ignoring me and Zoe. But when I ask him to watch her for an hour I am a bad mom and never take care of her.
Ugh this Is all over the place. I'm so tired and upset.

I'm sorry @ashie624. let's keep the bus cold. Freezing cold.
@andrea0418 I'm sorry it's been a rough night! I hope ty isn't sick!
I'm on a road trip with family. Isaac is sleeping in his travel pack n play right now. I don't know if he's ever stayed in it this long. WHY CAN'T I JUST SLEEP AND ENJOY THIS MOMENT? % haven't slept a full night since October 31st 2012.
We drove through Ohio. Fear mongering media made me feel all nervous about the Ebola. :-@
I have mastitis again. Fourth time with Zack. Sixth time altogether. And on top of that all Zack has been wanting to do all night long is nurse. Helps the mastitis out I suppose, but my nipples are so raw and hurt so much. He seriously has been attached to the boob pretty much constantly. And he won't sleep anywhere but on the boob. I am at my wits end.
@ashie624 I'm sorry you have to hear those things, I don't know him but I know my H and he can sometimes say things he doesn't mean, in the heat of the moment even I do... once I told him she should marry his mom and adopt some children as they seem to agree on everything LOL I do hope he apologizes soon and he learns to keep stupid hurtful thoughts to himself...
@andrea0418 I hope the Tylenol helps... we had an early morning wake up and LO couldn't go back to sleep, now he is in zombie mode
@Encchanted LO doesn't even have a runny nose but I can hear some phlegm when he breathes and we are not going to playgroup today... I cannot understand why people bring sick children to playgroup, it's not good for anybody, when I am sick I want to stay home and rest... send her the bus! I think andrea already warmed it up :P
@bobcee I hope you get well soon, mastitis for me was worse than the c/s recovery pain... I only had it twice though...
@EAGUIRRE2 I am jealous... I want to BF, LO wanted my boob yesterday for 2 seconds after 2 weeks of nothing.... he got over my boobs ( I was expenting to be one of those moms who BF until puberty :P

Wouldn't unpaper towels just be towels? Im on pinterest and I see these diy unpaper towels and they seem like towels wrapped around a roll and connected with snaps. I feel like no real person is taking the time to snap those together....
My awesome mil does. I totally made those for her!
@andrea0418 hope your babe feels better and you get some rest
@Encchanted eeew those moms make me so mad. I only had to do that once when DS had an awful cough from allergies. I had been to the dr and everything.
@ashie624 big hugs @encchanted I hope muppet feels better soon! @eaguirre2 right there with ya. We were down to 2 sessions a day. Now it is back up to eleventy billion. Or so it seems. I am going to try and cut one out today.
>:D< to @ashie624 Hope Ty and Muppet feel better soon! @andrea0418 & @Encchanted Oh no! :-( @bobcee I always wanted the unpaper towels @Audrey1787! We don't use paper towels at all here and I think those would be handy. Hope all your food lasts @Clyde013! That would be awful!
Well the whole family has been up since 430 from G's last wakeup. I asked DH to try and rock him back to sleep as my hands were super tingly and numb. G ended up hitting his head super hard when DH walked in and DH found his crib sheets completely soaked. It wasn't from his diaper and I'm thinking it could be from drool and spit up and snot. Today is two weeks that he's had this awful cold. He started coughing just a bit this morning too. DH is off today to hang out with the little guy.
Taking our cat to work with me so that he can be seen by the vet today for his annual. They need a stool sample so I grabbed a plastic baggie and wrote his name on it. I just grabbed it to put in my bag and I wrote George on it instead of Weston.....
@stacey099 I hope you figure out your hands soon. I've had wrist/hand issues since 2011. Numbness, tingling, swelling and radiating pain. I slept withahard wrist/hand brace for over q year because the dr thought it might help. I was tested for everything and nothing came back normal. Now I get the pain less frequently and just deal with the morning numbness/tingling. I have found that keeping my hands busy (knitting/crochet/sewing) in the evening seeems to help. If you ever need to talk about it you know where to find me.
Morning girls! Sounds like a lot of sick babies, so sorry! Get better soon!
@ashie624 hugs girl! Sorry your DH was a jerk last night, hopefully you can talk it out this weekend.
Eli has his 15 month appointment today (he's 16 months today!) so we have that and lots of errands today. Tomorrow is my Fall Dance Show so I've got tons to do today to get ready for it. My BFF if coming here for the weekend and bringing her 4 kiddos so we can all hang out. So excited for a fun weekend! Andplusalso, it's supposed to be 72 today!! That's almost unheard of for ND in late October!!!!
@ashie624 >:D< I hope he has a big apology for you today and that he stops acting this way. I agree with PP that if he has such an f-ing issue he should make more $ so u can stay at home (only if that's what you wanted) and stop holding MIL watching LO over your head.
Hope the sick babies (and mommas)!feel better soon! At least it's Friday. The ILs are coming over tonight so I'm tempted to head out with the girls. ILs would be insulted but recently MIL has really tested my patience and I don't know if I can deal.
@Mamasighs There should be a law against waking a sleeping baby. It's awful :-(
Agreed! The one morning I have to be up before 8 to have the dog to the groomers by 8 my LO decides he'd like to cuddle and sleep in. I felt so bad waking him up. I love my groomer and I enjoy visiting with her when I drop Hughston off. I kind of wish she was a friend. She's an older lady with a heavy accent (not sure where she's from) and she's just so kind and I really like her.
@maryannespier I am down a servant because I just fired my house cleaner your mess will just have to wait!
Hope all the sick babies and mamas are feeling better soon!
I finally got Zack down at midnight last night and it's 6:47 here and he's still sleeping. It's the longest stretch he's given us in a while, so I guess that's a win?
@somerandomchick it does look like juice. I keep all the cleaning stuff locked up so I assume and hope that in my household it wouldn't be an issue but I can see where a kid could definitely mistaken it for juice.
I'm ready for a laid back Friday--too much going on at work and I am giving myself permission to take a break. Getting a massage this morning! Looking forward to taking Landon to a DC friend's birthday costume party tomorrow--should be cute to see all the LOs in their costumes and Sunday we're having friends over for a pumpkin carving party!
GI this morning - and HE GOT TALLER!!!! Dr. Gut #1's office didn't necessarily do super accurate measurements - one time he lost an inch - but this is the first time he's gotten taller since last spring. Up 2cm since 2 weeks ago, and back on the chart. And also up a whole pound. <:-P

We are impatiently awaiting the day we can say goodbye to his girlfriend Ivy for good.
SRC beat me to it, but everything I've read makes me believe self-weaning doesn't often happen before the age of 2 @EAGUIRRE2 I've been doing what you're doing, sometimes I give in when he pulls on my shirt, other times I offer him a sippy. My pedi told me to BF until two so that's the plan for us right now.

Because @lizabethann06 never texted me back I had to go searching through her history to get the pork loin recipe she posted the other day.
My house smells heavenly.
This would be an easy recipe for you @PickleX because you could just cut open the pork loin package and dump it right into the crock pot and then cover it with the seasoning sauce.
@somerandomchick it does look like juice. I keep all the cleaning stuff locked up so I assume and hope that in my household it wouldn't be an issue but I can see where a kid could definitely mistaken it for juice.

My parents have one. My mom says it helps her back. Me and my SDs like to play on it. I'm a child

I have never thought so much that maybe we shouldn't be together.

I have no words..He has infuriated me tonight and definitely makes me question a lot of things.
