    I've put LOs pants on before snapping his onesie far too many times. Sleep deprivation sucks.

    For you dairy-free folks, this is one my friend and I went for when she had to go dairy-free with her LO:

    Tell me why I can take LO in and out of his car seat to my moby wrap like 5 times while running errands, but car seat-moby wrap-house (where I try to lay him down) he immediately wakes up....
    Oh sweet child of mine.

    Is anyone still experiencing joint pain at night? My poor feet hurt so bad and it makes those 3 am diaper changes hell.


    I'm having wrist, hip, finger, and back pain as well as tingly fingers.

    Try to elevate your feet, take a bath or do a cool water foot soak?

    Sorry, it sucks!

    Moms who EP, how much does your LO take in a bottle? I'm trying to figure out how much to put in bottles for my LO when I go back to work next week...

    @P&B715 - most cities have places that rent infant gear so you may want to look into that if family doesn't have one.

    Owen hasn't pooped for 21 hours. I'm scared to see what's going to come out.

    I feel like such an asshole.

    I know I'm lucky and have a relatively easy baby...he has good naps and sleeps alright during the night. Why is this so hard for me then? I read all your posts, some of you have multiple children and waaaaay more to handle than I do. I have a baby and a dog. And a year off. And I want to shoot myself in the face on a daily basis.

    I just told DH I want him to get a vasectomy so that I don't accidentally get pregnant. I always thought I wanted two kids but the thought makes me honestly cringe.

    I was not made for motherhood, that's for sure. I'm sure I'll do well at it, and I feel like I am now, but only because I don't have a choice. I'm not enjoying it like everyone else seems to...so add me to the one and done list because fuck everything about the last 7 weeks!

    :(

    I am right there with you, sister. Honestly, going back to work has been a huge blessing this week and helping me enjoy my kid more when I am home.

    LO only poops like once a day now, usually in the morning, and it goes on and on and on. And there's ALWAYS a leak now. Idk what's worse, constant pooping in small quantities or one huuuge poop per day, leading to more laundry.
    O doesn't poop overnight anymore so we've had a few mega poops after 14-16 hours. I'm convinced that our cloth diapers have saved us from so many blow outs.

    DS also doesn't poop overnight anymore which I love! It makes middle of the night feedings go so much faster because I don't have to change a diaper and fully wake him up. I am able to put him back to sleep so much quicker.

    @NoLaLinz‌ Do it with hot coffee! I think it's called bulletproof coffee? Just blend thoroughly. Let me know if you like it

    I had to double check the monitor was working cause my son has been asleep for an hour in his room and NOT A PEEP.. Sure enough, sleeping like a little angel. Today is the most together and accomplished and "good momma" I've felt yet. Today was a good day full of smiles and naps and alert play times. And now he's fast asleep. I feel good today.. It's harrrrddddd Somedays and I feel lost, but today it felt like I had it together. :x
    YAY!! We all deserve those kind of days every once and awhile. I hope you are feeling a little refreshed :)

    I missed close to 400 RTT posts!! I never realized how much we post here until taking a bit of a break!! 
    Also, I love my dog but after getting penny to sleep by side nursing/comfort nursing for over an hour only to have her startled awake because Wynn flipped his shit from a clunk the dryer made REALLY sucked. We've now been up for an additional hour and a half being a fussy pants. 
    I guess laundry and dishes aren't getting done tonight.

    Who asks about the paternity of someone's kids?

    That's weird and rude.

    Glad yh can walk and made you breakfast @kseccomb17‌ I know asking for help can be hard but there's no shame in needing help.

    also who cares if the yard work is done

    @ deidre glad you are ok

    Woke up half hour ago because I was leaking too badly to go back to sleep. I've pumped, and realize it's been 5.5hrs since LO's last feeding. The beast could awaken momentarily or continue to sleep for another 30-45mins.

    Do I force myself to stay up until he wakes up? Or do I play the exhausted card and go back to sleep, wake up DH for the MOTN feed and catch an extra hour or two of sleep? The exhausted card can only be redeemed so many times ;)

    @Stace0616‌ i just woke up to pump and knew B could wake up at any time. Sure enough, five minutes back in bed and she wants to eat. I'm nursing her, but really need to make DH get up for these feeding a now that he's off work.
