B*tch and Moan Sunday

Re: B*tch and Moan Sunday

  • Its been 10 days since LO has pooped. This LO won't poop for nothing.. Apple/Prune Juice.. NOPE Apple Juice... NOPE and Pear juice.. NOPE

    I feel like an a-hole for even giving him juice. The doctor said we could give him up to 3 oz a day and it would be okay but she also said we can start giving him purees at 4 months which i'm not thrilled about either. He's not even 3 months old yet. DH decided that meant we should give him 1 ounce (w/ 1 ounce of water) after every feeding to try and get things moving. IDK about that, and I have refused to do so. Everyone says not to worry, and I'm trying not to but it can be DH's job to not worry, I'm a mom, my kid isn't pooping and i'm worried.

     Lastly.. DH is a better house wife than I am. I feel like a loser mom because I come home from work I come home to a happy baby and a clean house. When he comes home he comes home to a happy baby (most of the time) and a train wreck of a house. I figured I would have the multi-tasker awesome mom routine down by now but nope. I'm disappointed in myself. I'm use to being good at things that I do and I don't feel like I'm all that great at this.

    I would be worried at 10 days! Our pedi gave us the green light to give 1/4 -1/2 tsp of miralax in a bottle. It takes a few hours to work, but holy cow....it works!!

  • I feel like my son has been off of my boob for about 20 minutes total since 7:30 this morning (it's probably closer to 2 hours but doesn't feel like it).

    More like a  FFFC but some days when I'm not feeding him I almost don't want to even hold him- I just want a break.

  • It was 80 degrees in the house last night at midnight and I was so hot and tired.  Zoe decided to wake up every half hour to hour ALL NIGHT LONG and the only way I could get her to sleep for even an hour and a half was for her to sleep with me, which made me even more warm.  I was exhausted before this horrible night.  The house cooled down to 75 overnight, but it's supposed to be 90 again today, so it will warm back up soon.  I hate heat!!!

    I'm a little ticked the DH spent four hours watching Star Trek Voyager reruns on Netflix last evening instead of finally installing the ceiling fan in LO's room.  Poor thing.  I'm insisting he do it today as soon as she wakes up from her nap.

    DS went 8 days without a poop and I was begining to get really worried. Our pedi told us to try rectal stimulation by just rubbing his anus (no results), rectal temp (no results) then finally a glycerin suppository (just a forth of one) and we got immediate results. He was holding it all in. She assured us that after he went that first time, he would probably get into his own routine. She was right, he now poops regularly every 1-3 days.

  • I should clean the rest of the house. I got 1/2 of it done yesterday, and my mom is coming on Tuesday, so I'd like to get the rest done. But when LO goes down for a nap I want ME time, not cleaning time. Sad

  • DH is gone for 10 days and I'M BORED AND LONELY!! We moved here 2 years ago and made great friends right away, but within the last couple of months, they've ALL moved (military life for you...) and now I have none.  So, it's just me and the little guy, hanging out together, all day, every day.  Bored.

    I never met anyone when DH and I got to this base. It's been just me and DH for the past year. I know how you feel. The may mamas are my only friends. Sad

    BOOOO. 

    We just found out that we will probably be moving overseas within a year, so what's the point of even making new friends now?  I guess the point is not being bored OUT OF MY MIND when DH is gone...

    OMG this is DH EXACTLY except I want him to install a clothes line for ou cloth diapers. What is so cool about that show anyway? Damn Netflix I should write them to take it off streaming.
