I'm on a motor home with 10 of my relatives, it's 6:14am and my grandfather is trying to discuss politics.
Go.
Yikes!
I need to stay off Facebook. Every single thing is about Ferguson. One post is racist against the looters, the next is racist against the cop. I'm unfriending people left and right.
Please pray for my state.
I am in MA and I have in friended a lot on Facebook too.
So LO was inconsolable last night. DH tried to help, yelled at her to STFU, I grabbed her back, and he said he was going downstairs for rest of the night and to leave him the f alone. I got LO calmed down and asleep... Then I hear power tools in the basement and LO is up and screaming again. Thanks asshole.
Disney composers are wizards. DD is 7 weeks old and I played her Do You Wanna Build A Snowman and she went nuts with the smiling and squirming. It was cute.
Went to my PP appointment yesterday. What I thought was a ball of fat is a hernia . My ob advised me to see a surgeon. DH is leaving Friday to work overseas for a year. Sigh.
Ok question. Visitor's son came down with bad cold fri. Thought he was totally fine but still has a little cough today. Let them come over or reschedule? She said it's my call.
Thanksgiving let's see...my crazy ass uncle that found Jesus now that they don't have any money *sigh* he preaches to everyone and wears a giant cross like he's a rapper. He's just so over the top. People like that seem fake. At least my cousin is off for the first time in 4 years (she's a cop) I'm pretty pumped about that! She has no filter so it entertains me :-)
Also, DD decided to sing me the song of her people (aka gruntasaurus) from 5:30-8:00 this morning, so I don't know if I can count that as sleep for either of us...
Last night DD put the dogs in the backyard to pee, but when DH brought them back in, only two came in. We assumed the other got out in a whole in the fence, which he had done before, but we fixe the fence.
So last night, DH drove around te neighborhood calling for the dog, but it was too late and dark to see anything. We figured he would come back when he got hungry, and then it snowed last night. Worried sick about the dog, DH drove around at 5 this morning looking for the poor guy. And I'm sitting here wondering how to tell DD that her dog is gone. I just put the other dogs outside to pee, and guess what?
The dog was in his kennel all night. He never even went out to pee in the first place. D'oh!

I'd reschedule, but I'm nervous about those things.
DS slept horribly and now he only wants to cuddle on me. We are meeting the ILs for lunch, so at some point he needs to let me get up and shower.
Also, does anyone else feel like they stink now? Even when a shower, put on real clothes, AND brush my teeth, I still feel like I smell like a garbage dump. So gross.

Yup. It's really annoying. My deodorant used to last all day, now I'm lucky if it lasts a few hours.
@apk4 more like hot garbage...I'm glad it's not just me. Dh insists he can't smell me. I'm in the shower scrubbing my arm pits with a bar of soap. BO is off the charts.
@MrsBabe614 I'm glad I'm not alone as well. Yesterday I was picking up around the house and I thought, "What is that smell? Did one of the dogs have an accident? Do I have DS's poop on me? Oh, it's just me. I just stink. Great."

We're getting all the Thanksgiving ingredients. A wanted to nurse as soon as we parked so I sent my mom in ahead and stayed in the car to nurse. This guy who totally creeps me out walks by and I have to cover my face and duck so he doesn't see me. When A is done I put her in the sling and we go inside.
All is well until she unleashes three huge poops and I begin to doubt the gDiaper's integrity. So we make our first ever trip to the Walmart bathroom aka germ city. We wait in line for the changing table. The mom using it has a friend hold a blanket up so no one can see naked baby parts. Is this a thing?
When it's our turn I find out that the poopsplosion has wiped out the insert, liner and gpant (the outside part, and her white pants. I also realized I don't have a disposable diaper with me. Or an extra gpant. I do have more inserts though, PTL. So MOTY uses wipes to clean off the liner and diaper and throws away the white pants.
Just as I'm about to put the diaper on her she pees everywhere, soaking her onesie. My extra outfit for her is in the car. So I put her back in the sling with her naked little legs hanging out and we buy a new outfit and head back into the bathroom to change into it. I'm sure it looked like I was stealing the outfit but at this point I would have gladly engaged in a confrontation about it.
Changed and clean and in the sling we find my mom again but now A is frantic with hunger (6 weeks growth spurt) so the boob comes out (not very gracefully so you're welcome, people of Walmart-- merry Christmas! You saw my boob!) and we nurse in the sling for the rest of the shopping trip.
I must say that straining to reach produce that is too high for this short lady with my boob in use while baby wears a new sleeper that was on the rack five minutes ago is weirdly empowering.
And honestly the strangest part of the trip was not any of this but rather the preteen girl who was walking around in footie pajamas. Yes, her mom was in pajamas, too.
@PurpleHippo19 maybe you could pretend Phoenix needs to nurse in private... For a very long time. That's how I ducked out of unwanted social interaction this weekend.
Anyone here dealt with a yeast infection in the boobs? I think I have one. I have sharp stinging shooting pains randomly throughout the day. Some in the boob, some starting in the nipple. I can't diagnose it based on the red shiny nipple symptom because my nips have been nothing but red and raw for the last 8 weeks of pumping. :-< I had my OB give me meds for one already and the pains seemed to have went away for a while, but now they're back. So I'm thinking its another infection. I'm about to throw in the towel on this EPing thing. I'm going to get another round of meds from my OB. If it comes back again, I'm so done. The pain is becoming a source of serious frustration for me.
The 6 week growth spurt turned my sweet girl into a fussing, refuse to sleep at night, always want to eat monster. This should be fun with thanksgiving with 20 people and friends staying with us with their 3 and a half month old. Maybe it was a one night thing....maybe?

Is it possible you could be feeling your milk let down? I EBF but every once in a while I get a random painful let down when LO isn't even near me.

Definitely not letdown. That's an entirely different pain!

I get the same thing. No infection to speak of. Hopefully yours is the same!
Also, why does DD ACTIVELY fight falling asleep during the day? Gah!
Mine does too. Then by the time DH gets home from work I have accomplished nothing all day and dd is a cranky mess most of the time until we get her down to sleep for the night.
My niece spent the night last night. She seriously cries EVERY time DH talks to her. He even was singing "Do you want to build a snowman" (on a side note it's hysterical because he appears to be a big burly bear :x ) and she'd cry. But if one of the kids or I talk to her she laughs, giggles, and talks.
She goes to her Dad's on weekends and lives with her Mom, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt and sister and visits her mom's BF. So she's around men she just freaks for DH... It's bizarre!!!

Absolutely in love with our 'big' family!
I'm also a proud Auntie to a crazy little girl, her brand new baby sister, a little man on his way in the next month, and a sweet little mister we will miss forever!!!
Baby is struggling with gas and what seems like constipation doctor wants to run tests if it continues. My poor baby (
What kinds of tests do they run for that? And what kind of answer do they look for?
They said they may do a Barium enema XRay next week and I don't know what they are looking for. I think they are worried about an obstruction or an inflammation? Not sure. They are supposed to call today but haven't yet.

Really? These are so painful it almost takes my breath away. Stinging, burning, shooting pains. Yours too?
