@soleil3 FI hasn't brought in but 4 pay checks since I got pg. I worked for 5 months but then was fired when I. Told the I w as pg. Posted about that a long time ago... But yeah. I'm scared. This is going to be ... A whole new world for me.

sfeebs13 · December 2013

@mommykristin88 yeah I was bragging a few weeks back about how my hair hadn't started falling out yet... Well.... Yeah.. I'll be bald before the weeks over. Karma. & it's gross.

My hair is thinning. The shedding is going to make me bald.
Ditto this. DH actually asked me if I might be seriously ill when he saw how much came out at once. :-(

Luckily (I guess), we were expecting it since it happened after my daughter's birth. That doesn't make it any less harder to deal with though.

Same. He even asked some girls he works with who have kids to see if it's really normal.

I didn't notice the shedding until recently. I'm so sad. After my daughter was born I ended up cutting my hair off (like down to 1/2 in long). After that I didn't notice anymore excessive shedding. I hope it doesn't get to that point this time.

@kwrecks why exactly can't you go with him?

We don't really have the money. He found a great deal on airline tickets, and mentioned it to his mom. They are going to stay with his grandma, and she has a tiny apartment and it couldn't fit him and his mom and me and LO. So if we all went, it would be a much bigger cost than we could afford. He deserves the break so I'm glad he gets to go...i'm just jealous.

That blows, sorry. And I didn't mean to sound snarky in my question...for some reason I was picturing him just saying he was driving to fl for a vaca and wanted you to stay home. Idk why... But I was prepared to cal BS on him! Lol

Nope, no way I would have let that happen!

@Soleil3 I love our Juicer! The only problem with it is that we spend about double what we would normally spend on produce, because juicing takes a lot. But it's worth it!

I'm getting so frustrated with breastfeeding, and I wish that I could just say screw it and be done. But the thought of stopping makes me so sad. I get so tired of issue after issue. My nipples hurt. I stress out all the time about producing enough, whether she's eating enough, pumping any extra. I don't want to give her formula but I know our lives would be so much easier if I did. I had to on Friday and she did fine with it, but it made me sad because I know that the more I supplement, the less milk I'll produce. ughhhh.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I'm waiting til he's six months then I'll quit so that I can take a medication. And I've been struggling really bad with the idea. I know formula is great, but I cry when I think about it. Good luck!

AprilRaine · December 2013

I want cake but I don't really have an excuse to make it. Is indulging in everything I possibly can before the new year starts an adequate excuse to make an entire cake? Lmk.
Also is it still acceptable to blame breastfeeding on my excessive hunger? Nomnomnom

sfeebs13 · December 2013

@kanned0121 & @kwrecks -- it was so stressful for me also. Problems started and it seemed like it was downhill from there. Now that we have made the switch, our relationship is much better. Much less stressful and we are both less anxious during a feeding. It's been two or three weeks since I've pumped and there's still milk in there.. I use it on my face. Lol. I do miss it, and I'd do it all over again but I don't have any regrets about the switch.

Eta.. Listen to me .. All "hoo rah" I posted needing encouragement just the other day. Everyone had wonderful things to say, and since I've just decided to be happy that we are all happier in general and she's getting what she needs

kkay1982 · December 2013

I have to work today and tomorrow because we have to have half our team working at all times. Then low and behold one of the women who signed up for the days off decided to work. If she had called my boss about this on Friday I could have had a five day weekend. Peeved to say the least.

kwrecks · December 2013

@sfeebs13 YGPM back

Marvel1013 · December 2013

I HATEunpacking.. That's what my morning is. Unpacking and trying to keep kids occupied.. And laundry. Pretty sure a tornado flew in my house last night, it's stressing me out.

That blows, can you head home early to get some extra snuggles?

Marvel1013 · December 2013

Ohh, and LOhas decided she doesn't like my left boob that much anymore. She screams and gets fussy. I don't think it's producing much anymore, or something is going on

I thought about it. Also considered taking tmrw off. But since I was planning on working DH decided to work so we can't do anything and if I can't take the whole time I might as well save the days off and maybe we'll do a long weekend in January.

My lo's preference goes back and forth , as well as the supply by lefty & righty. It's strange. Hopefully it's just a let down preference and lo will make strong friends with your lefty again soon.

ktballz · December 2013

This is my last week before heading back to work. B isn't really into taking a bottle so I am worried that she will reverse cycle and she has been sleeping so well. I also have a feeling work is going to fight me on the schedule I am giving myself.

My house is a complete mess and I have so many errands to do today I am not sure how I am going to get it all done. At least my little brother is staying over and he can help entertain B while H and I work on getting our shit together.

I also am losing all of my hair between it falling out and B wanting to pull it out there won't be much left.

I'm with you! Between a sick whiney husband. A grumpy baby and the pets, oh and the fact my house is the most disastrous unorganized mess right now... I don't know how the heck I am to get the entire house packed up to potentially move this weekend!? Where the eff did the month go? And then I have to unpack. Oh man

I'd mostly like to bitch about the sickness issue. I don't know where it came from. Or how it happened. But I am very annoyed with the culprit.

thoughtfulmommy · December 2013

I am just plain tired. Just before the holidays we started transitioning out of the swaddle and planned to go the crib next. Well then we lost power for five days, moved in with my mom and LO's sleep went to shit. Now that we are back home he forgot how to sleep. He was up from 2am to 5am last night just staring at me. We are back the square one, swaddled in his way too small bassinet, until he goes back to one MOTN feeding.

Luckily DH is home on vacation so I can sleep a bit once he wakes up.

Sounds like a good enough reason to me! DH asked if I wanted Burger King tonight. I said "Sure! It's not January yet!"

Coconuthead · December 2013

LO has been seriously cranky this past week. I really hope he is getting a tooth or something to explain all this. I try to give him one of his many new toys and he will be distracted for a few minutes before tossing it away In what can only be described as disgust. Feel better LO!

Marvel1013 · December 2013

@lokilahve I hope so! She's teething as well which makes her even fussier

@julianndelaney ohh so you're moving this weekend?!

We are still in the waiting room for the ped.... Her appointment was supposed to be 10 minutes ago. When we finally get into the room, we will probably wait about another 20 minutes..... Grrrrrr

Cosmic+Love · December 2013

I got pooped on this morning.

WildRumpus · December 2013

LO has decided that only I can put him back to sleep. Which wouldn't bug me if he were just waking up to eat, but no, pretty sure he's teething. He was a bear last night

I swear I am always starving. I will eat a good rounded meal. Still Hungry. Give into some junk. Still Hungry. I do not know what to do to fix it.

Stopping BFing was the hardest decision I made...and there were so many tears shead and so much mom guilt and he was only 2.5 weeks old. But my LO is thriving off formula and it's made things so much easier for both of us. My niece is thriving and she never had an ounce of BM- she is 18 months now, has never been sick and is just so extremely smart and I know I am biased but even her pedi was very impressed with her vocabulary and the way her mind works. And I've also learned that you can still get that close feeling with bottle feeding and you can even feed skin to skin if you want to. Skin to skin is always great even if you aren't BFing. I am just telling you all of this so that you know it will get better soon!

Thanks! I just need to suck it up and do it. I appreciate your kind words!!

Sounds exactly like my LO!

TeacherMom210 · December 2013

DD has decided to stop STTN, which is driving DH and I a little crazy. She's been getting up between 3 and 4 AM and it can be hard to get her back to sleep. This morning she decided it was party time at 6:00AM! (And we're off from work for Christmas Break!) So not cool.

MyBaby2013 · December 2013

Add me to the tired boat. LO is still going through his 4 month regression. I can't explain what I would give for more that 2 hours of sleep. I seriously feel like I'm loosing my mind from lack of it and I'm so exhausted my house is falling behind which stresses me out. We currently have DSD for the holiday break (she's 7) so she is constantly wanting to do things, I've spoiled her with crafts so totally my fault, DH recently had knee surgery so I'm acting as 2 ppl and taking care of him as well. So he is worthless in the baby department aside from holding him right now. I. Need. Sleep! And maybe 5 mins in total silence lol I know it's not DH fault that he can't help but GRRR this blows! Zombie Mommy

That is all.

KatyKatMeowz · December 2013

Tomorrow night we're supposed to go on our first date since the baby was born. LO, my mom (who was supposed to babysit tomorrow), and I all have colds. I'm really hoping we're all well enough by tomorrow, because the restaurant I picked sounds amazeballs. The have a burger called the "white trash" with chicken fried bacon and Velveeta. It also comes in "double wide" version and they suggest PBR to go with it.

RK125 · December 2013

Add me to the balding, tired boat! It's supposed to snow on Thursday and Friday any where from 5-10 inches so I'm hoping for an extended vacation. But this'll happen instead

PB102012 · December 2013

Sorry, I cannot stop today.... I MISS MY CAR! It's been three weeks, and I think the body shop is supposed to have it for another two. I miss the luxuries it has that my DH's car doesn't have.... I hate the stupid rental that I have, it's a beast, it smells, and it's not my car.

AND even though the other driver's insurance claimed liability, I still have to front my deductible to the body shop, then be reimbursed by my insurance company. Here's an idea insurance company..... since I am not supposed to have deductibles on collision, YOU front the money, then go after the other insurance company for your money back?!

Lorjo2022 · December 2013

Just when I thought FIL was the normal and sane one, he decides he wants to put his cell phone in DS face to have him look at pictures. WTH are you doing?! He's 4 months old! GTFO of my house!

Bunnyfer · December 2013

I got another one.my mother is now getting on my case because I choose to dress Lo in a onesies most of the time.I only really dress her up when we go out. It's just a lot easier. She said I need to dress her more. Whatever. Then she tells me my almost three year old niece put her new Samsung galaxy tablet in the sink. Why does she have s tablet to begin with.

RK125 · December 2013

@bunnyfer My mil says she's bought "real" clothes for dd. it usually consists of a onesie and some sort of difficult jumper. I don't know how that's any different from the onesie and pants I usually dress her in...ugh.
