It's sad how dead this board is now. At least it's motivation to join in more and keep things active.
LO needs to start sleeping longer than 2-3 hour stretches at night at 11 weeks old. I know it's not abnormal but I want a nice chunk of sleep!

Re: Tuesday Randoms
@Wolkie ouch-I hope you weren't burnt too badly! My work has an oven that opens to be about mid stomach and I am always nervous that I will burn myself.
My dad called this morning and said he was taking my sister to a basketball tourney yesterday and they were running very late and he got pulled over TWICE on the way for speeding. You have to know my dad but I can't stop laughing. He's just like me, never speeds! So I think it's kinda comical the one time he does he gets pulled over twice. And he managed to get TWO warnings and no ticket! Lol.
@Wolkie pie sounds amazing! If the burn hurts I have found puncturing a hole in a vitamin e capsule and rubbing the oil on it heals it in less than a day and takes the pain away.
Little one is eating and it's rainy and cold outside so we are cuddled on the couch in our pj's.
@CocoGelato we are doing 2-3 hr stretches still at night too. 9 weeks today. And that is on my chest! Swaddled in rock n play yielded 20 min last night before screaming. She also stays awake anywhere from 1-2.5 hrs when she gets up to eat! I'm getting pretty much no sleep which will not work when I go back to my job in three weeks. I deal with life and death!
@wolkie yum pie sounds amazing! Sucks that you burnt yourself though. I hope it heals quickly.
@emmaknits good luck with the offer! I hope everything works out
@emmaknits good luck with the offer! I hope they accept!
@CocoGelato I have a chest sleeper too. The only way I can look at it is soon enough our babies will be moving and shaking and we will wish they would sleep on our chests again. Maybe?
L will sleep for long stretches on me. Last night he slept from 8 pm - 4 am. But when we woke up no wet diaper? He ate at 7:30. When he finally did pee he had "brick dust" in his diaper for the 2nd day in a row. We were at the PCP last week for this. His pee tested negative for blood. The dr said its the crystals from his urine mixing with the diaper? I am starting to think the longer stretches of sleep causes him to dehydrate. He eats every 3 hours during the day. I think I am going to feed him every 2 and wake him at least once during his long stretch at night to eat and see of this brick dust will disappear. Its alarming to open his diaper and see a red spot.
@lmsherrill26 Don't beat yourself up about it. Sounds like almost all children get it before the age of two anyway, sort of like chicken pox when we were kids.
For those still EBF, what doc is taking care of your boobs? Specifically, if I need a prescription for nipple ointment, should that be my OB (whom I wouldn't otherwise see for another year) or LO's pediatrician?
I just started to make progress on getting my dream job in our city, and now it sounds like hubby's company might move him to Boston. That's where I wanted to be all along, but I'm finally making progress here! And I can't push on Boston yet because there's no certainty.
@emmaknits - good luck on the housem
Re: chest sleeping. LO itaking his 12.5 weeks and I lost the battle last night and she ended up sleeping with us. DH goes back to work today after taking his FMLA and I didn't want to have a raging baby sleep war. She was being super chatty and smiley in her RNP alternating with crying.
It's not that we don't love snuggles together, but feel like we need to get her sleeping on a flat surface by the time she goes to day care in a few weeks.
My great sleeper decided to party last night and is forgoing her morning nap. Just when I think we have a routine she decides to mix it up.
I started the mini pill last Sunday and all of the sudden I think my supply has taken a hit. I used to pump once in the morning and get 4 ounces, enough for DH to give her a bottle in the evening. The last few days it has taken me a few sessions throughout the day to get that. Has anyone else noticed a correlation in their supply and the mini pill?
& thank God for zofran!
@howin23 I would guess your OB would prescribe it. Maybe you can call the office and ask for the scrip?
LO had her 2 month checkup today. All is well. While i was there I brought up DS's possible egg allergy and they're going to have him tested.
Re. Sleep: LO is finally sleeping in her pack in play. She's slept for 2 five hour stretches the past couple nights. Hope it continues!
@songbirdsinging55 Food poisoning is the worst! I have a real phobia of vomiting so I feel for you!
@emmaknits -how exciting!!!
@songbirdsinging55 -food poisoning is THE WORST. I am so sorry you had that to deal with!
@howin23 - my midwife is taking care of my cream subscription.
@Imsherrill26 -how scary!!! I'm glad it doesn't sound like she feels to bad.
@CocoGelato - thanks for starting this!
Is anyone else still struggling with nursing?! I still have cracked nipples, though they are slowly healing...I'm just getting really discouraged because they're still hiring and we're still struggling to get a good latch. I just thought BFing would be easy and here LO is 7.5 wks and I still don't have it down!!
My Mom is here this week and today I coned her into doing a great deep clean on our hall bath, sweaping of the kitchen and entry way.
This afternoon we are going shopping as I need some dress pants for work because I can't even pretend to zip mine. I have decided that my current body is going to be as good as it because I'm too lazy to workout. I figure I'm 31 and will gladly take this new version of jiggle over time spent toning away from my baby.
Re: RNP - my LO doesn't love his. It was the one baby item I HAD to get, but he will only tolerate it for a few minutes, with the exception of when I shower. He will sit in it if I put it in the bathroom while I'm in the shower. I think he likes the noise and warmth.
I'm loving all these new faces in the randoms thread and throughout the board! Let's keep this going!
@songbirdsinging55 Hope you're feeling better soon too!
@joshua+rebecca11 My LO still doesn't have a great latch either at almost 10 weeks and every now and then I end up with a tiny blister, no cracking or bleeding but my nipples are always sore. I hope to EBF at least 6 months but am scared about what will happen when he starts to get teeth. Hopefully he'll continue to get better at it before then!

@emmaknits that's so exciting! I still remember when DH and I put our first offer in on our house 2 years ago. It's so exciting and scary at the same time. Hope everything goes smoothly!
Just got home from the pediatrician with LO. He had some blood in his diaper last night so they wanted to see him. They think it is a milk intolerance and I need to cut out dairy for the time being. I'm bummed about it, but thankful that it is nothing serious and something that could be easily fixed.
Sending good thoughts!
