@SassyFlats I feel the same way! (Surprise, surprise, right?) I stopped tracking feeds/diaps since he regained birth weight and haven't worried since. If I had hot water, I would be showering without him in the bathroom and without a baby monitor. I actually don't own a monitor (I guess I'll get around to it when we move him to his own room --- another thing I'm not stressed about.) I am not the slightest bit upset at the thought of his 2-month shots. Whatevs---needs to be done. I accidentally bonked his head on a cardboard box today (foolishly bending over with him in the wrap) and I didn't melt down with guilt, just thought, "eh, lesson learned!" I suck the gunk off his paci when it falls on the floor and pop it back in his mouth.
Maybe I was a mother in a previous life? Maybe it's the Paxil doing the talking? Maybe after all my birth drama nothing feels scary? IDK....but I'm sooooo glad I'm not alone!
WAIT. Am I supposed to feel bad for not having her in the bathroom while I shower?? I just put her in her swing in our bedroom while she's sleepy and take my shower in the master bath with the door open. I can hear if she cries, and usually the sound of the water puts her to sleep anyway.
I'm also not concerned about her two-month shots. If she cries, I'll cuddle her and probably nurse her. NBD.
This is pretty much me too. I watched his entire circumsion while I was standing at his head. I'm not worried about the shots.

So I called BRUS to figure out where my gc was. They told me it could take a few more weeks up to 10 weeks past due date. Ok fine...then I get a call back and they tell me they are issuing it for 154$ and to expect it in 48 hrs ok great I got it this morning in my email. Now I just got another email for another gc for the sweetest deal for 116$. I think they totally messed up but I am not going to say anything...hmm what to buy???
Today was an insane day of going to the DMV, going grocery shopping, going to the vet, and dealing with the world's fussiest baby.
The confession is that I forgot to change my two year old's diaper... all day.
I didn't even realize until I went to pick her up to bring her upstairs for bed. She was totally soaked through. She never complained about it though, soooooo....
Allison had her second hep B shot at her 1 month checkup today. I cried worse than she did. It kills me seeing my baby in pain!
I love BFing her, but I hate pumping. I suck at it. Know how much I was able to pump today? Less than one ounce.
Now granted, she's cluster feeding and she nursed a ton today and she wouldn't be asleep right now if her belly wasn't full. But the one feeding where we did formula? I tried to pump and that's what I got. Squat.

We have no idea at all if we are for sure having another baby ever... BUT I started a new note in my phone with baby names. Who knows if we would actually end up with the two names I like since the name I had wanted since I was 16 we didn't end up with (Sophie). One of the names was #1 on our boy list then the other is a girl name. :x
I too agree with not liking the infant stage that much. I just said to a friend this week that you should be able to take 2 maternity leaves. The first cuz obviously you don't want someone else caring for your newborn and the second when they get in that fun stage. Sucks that someone else watches them when they start all the fun stuff.
Brooklyn made a perfect coo sound two days ago. She hasn't done it since. It was so cute, that I keep trying to get her to do it again. I have even showed her YouTube videos of cooing babies... Yes I am peer pressuring my child, and I am only a little ashamed.
Also, I have been spending the night at my parents about once a week. I love spending time with them, but my real reason for going so much is bc my mom works from home, and will wake up early with Brooke while I sleep in. They also cook whatever meal I want or take us out to dinner. I'm 26 years old and still spoiled! LO is in trouble!
