Owwww...

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

I think I pulled a muscle in my back.

Today Jack and I went to lunch with my SM. When we were coming out of the restaurant, I had him in his infant carrier, which is a mega pain in the ass to carry. I had a major infection/incision situation in June, and was told to do absolutely no heavy lifting, especially the baby in his carrier, until 6 months, but my SM is a teeny tiny woman and really can't carry him. I figured, what difference will a month make?

I forgot that when you haven't done any heavy lfiting at all for 5 months, it makes a lot of difference. While trying to get his carrier up into her SUV, I think I pulled a muscle around the back of my ribcage area on the left side, and now that I'm chilling at home, my incision is bright red and sore.

Good grief. Does it never end? How long do I have to pay for this?!

    I think my SM is going to get us a convertible at the end of the month, and I'm just going to leave his booster in the car for when we go to a restaurant or something. He still can't sit, but he's way too big to be carrying around like this now. Where'd you get your cart cover, Annice? I need to get one of those too.

    Jack is still lazy and won't sit "up", even when supported. He slouches down. Does M do that too? I am worried that, with all the slouching, he'll upset his tummy and/or reflux issues. I guess I need to get a grip, but he just doesn't seem big enough to do these things on his own. And yet, he's way too big for the carrier. :(

    The infant carrier sucks.  It kills my back.  Sorry you got hurt Sad 

    I agree, I take LO out and leave it in the car if he isn't sleeping.

    Effing crazy people.

    Yeah, he'll be 5 months on Friday Crying

    Gabe is a sweetie.  He just loooooves his brother.  I love Jack, too!  I can't wait for Michael to meet his BFF!  (And I sooo can't wait to see you!)

     

    I feel you. Jack's halfway to 6 now and today I went to work with SM to show him off. All the ladies in her office kept saying "OMG, he's HUGE. Such a CHUNK. What a BIG BOY. Not a little baby!" It made me sad.

    And, I am so excited too! I can't wait for your taxes to come in!!!

    I do this unless we are going into a place where he won't have a place to sit, like the store or a restaurant. And usually Bun is with me, so he can do the hauling.

    Sorry you got hurt!

    I usually don't use the infant carrier, that's DH job most of the time, but when I do have to take her in it I use a snap n'go.

    and probably J will be out of the carrier soon, and the investment  is not worthy at this point in time... maybe you can find one on craiglist or something.
