    Max just socked me in the face. I was leaning in, talking to him and trying to make him smile. Then he whacks me. I guess that's what I get for being all up in his personal space.

    It wasn't until that Vitamin D drop thread was posted that I remember that DD should be getting those.  I still haven't bought them yet though.  Oops.

    I just got out of going to my ILs this weekend because the baby had been fussy and either throwing up or spitting up all day, especially when I put her in her car seat.

    I wanted both of the kids to stay home with me, but DS asked dh if he could go, and my MIL said she would love to have him.

    Even though I ugly cried about it because I feel so guilty, deep down I'm a little grateful for the break. Keeping DS engaged while trying to take care of the baby has been exhausting.

    Now I'll just have to deal with being worried about them on the road for 4.5 hours...

    I guess piggy backing off yours. My mother just left to visit my sister in Utah, I'm a little sad she didn't offer to take DD. Honestly, though I think I wouldn't do well with her being so far away for so long (4days). But DS hrs only been able to take one 1hr nap because DD he been so loud today. So DS is tired and so cranky.

    I have 2.

    There's a girl I don't like in a group FB chat. I was just mean enough to make her mad and leave but not mean enough to be full-on mean. Totally did it on purpose.

    OH didn't get condoms even though he's been told 4 times (has to be him that chooses them, he has sensitive skin so needs to see the ingredients). I'm pleased he forgot, sex hurts too much and I don't feel like it.

    #1 I'm tired of wearing my baby all the time. It's the only thing that will consistently soothe him and the only way he will consistently go to sleep, but dammit my back hurts and I want him to sleep in his own bed instead of strapped to me at all times. I'm also confessing that I worry MIL may be right about developing bad sleeping habits by allowing DS to almost always sleep in the wrap.

    #2 I am not feeling as connected to DS as I think I should even at 8 weeks. I'm pretty sure the colicky screaming is to blame for this.

    @hab83, I felt very similar with DS1. He would only sleep on us. He tolerated the Moby occasionally but not on a regular basis. At 4 months I started sleep training him. It's on the earlier side of what they recommend but I was seriously on the verge of a breakdown because I was so, so tired and wanted some time when I didn't have a baby on me. It only took a couple days and he started going to bed in his crib at 7 pm without crying. He still woke every 2-3 hours all night long for the next several months until I sleep trained those wakings but just being able to put him to bed and have a couple hours to myself or with DH was amazing.

    The funny thing is I know we had sex before he was 4 months old but I'm just not sure when we managed to, lol.

    As for #2, I know I didn't really feel a bond to DS1 until he started smiling consistently, and then eventually when the giggles came. It was like once he actually reacted to me instead of just staring and screaming at me I was like, okay, I'm not just a milk machine. I'm a mom, and my son actually does love me. So what you're feeling is still normal...but if you don't find it improving over the coming weeks/months as LO becomes more responsive and interactive, it probably wouldn't hurt to talk to someone or mention it to your doctor.

    Thanks, @LeaLupins‌. DD was colicky, too, but she would at least go to sleep in the swing sometimes. This LO won't have it. We will definitely start sleep training at 4 months just like we did with DD.

    DS is starting to smile more during the day. It does help with the bonding. He's so cute and I love him. I'm just super exhausted and dread every evening.

    I spent $30 on Dr. Brown bottles for when my mom watches DD just so I get a break from washing every damn piece. Best $30 I've spent.

    I'm going to a family birthday party tomorrow for a 5 year old. There will be three other mom's there with babies under 3 months. They all breast feed but are very "non public" about it. I have no shame and will feed in public (w/ a+a blanket). I already know they will be giving me dirty looks and I don't even care.

    I've been drinking mothers milk tea again to rebuild my stash,
    even though it gives LO gas (not painful). Our sitter has depleted my stash bc she insists that LO is constantly hungry. She is tired and takes the bottle bc she wants to suck. STOP WASTING MY LIQUID GOLD WOMAN!

    Try the "baby got colic" song on you tube if you haven't already. That song soothes lots of little screaming babies. It's worked for us on several occasions.

    Your mother in law is wrong, there's no way you are creating a bad habit just yet. You have to do what works for you.

    I literally did not feel any kind of connection with lo#1 until she was 6 months old. It takes time. Don't feel bad. Hugs!!!



    We have our "Irish Twins"

    FFFC - Elias is happily asleep in his swing and I finally get to play some World of Warcraft.  He usually fusses when we're in the computer room, so this gamer gal hasn't had much screen time for the last 5 weeks.  Now I can have some serious stress relief!

    Additionally, I've been trying to get Elias to like babywearing, but every time I try him in the sling he freaks out.  He's probably feeding off how intimidated I feel by the sling. I feel kinda terrible that I can't figure out how to get him to be comfy being worn...we've tried bobacarrier and baby k'tan already, too.

    I have a K'tan too and he definitely doesn't look as content as the baby in the book! I don't know if the carrier is a size too big or what, but his head flops around every time he's in there because he wants to look around. I could get so much more done if he just chilled out while in there!

    i love my little man but I'm tired of constantly holding him. wish he liked to swing or the bouncer so i could set him down for a few. also lately I've been considering slapping my husband. if i have to hear how tired HE is one more time I've going to lose my shit.

    I hear ya here. I set DH straight with this a few weeks ago cause I had finally had enough.
