    I should just get a job at the espresso stand by my house for as much as I'm there and for how much money I spend.

    I would... if I could bring LO. I honestly can't think of anything other than nannying where I could take M to work with me...

    L likes to be rocked to sleep. The one thing I didn't purchase was a rocking recliner...

    Am I the only one who still hasn't given a pacifier? DS is 4w now, but I'm still stressed over his weight (which is going up), and am worried that giving him one will somehow disrupt his gains.
    Please tell me if I'm nuts.

    I waited a little over two weeks and my LO is pretty uninterested in it still at 5 weeks. But she just doesn't care to suck unless she's eating I think. I sort of think it's due to me waiting awhile that she doesn't care for it.
    We waited until her latch was perfect and easy around 2 weeks. The pedi told us on the hospital to give it to her, but LC said no way. She doesn't get it all of the time, if she is fussy and just ate I will give it to her to help fall asleep.

    When she is hungry still it doesn't keep her from crying, she will suck a couple times and scream again and I know she wants the real deal.

    It hasn't hurt her latch or BF in general. I had a hard time giving her one too and DH actually did it one day while I was showering, that's the only reason she has it!

    We were going to not give DD the pacifier but she is such a strong sucker. Sometimes I think she might suck my nipple right off. She's just a comfort sucker and i didn't want that to be my boobs! She sucks so loud she sounds like the baby off the Simpsons. Every time my FIL holds her he'll be like no she doesn't need that and won't give it to her and it really pisses me off!

    I want the pacifier to work better. The sure fire plug is the pad of the pinky finger. The LC told us to use that until the latch is well established because it's still fleshy and not hard. We still use it.

    @keelyd‌ - We started giving M a soothie when he went into the NICU because I was so terrified of how distraught he might be when I wasn't there to calm him and I wanted all the options available. He still only takes it sometimes and spits it out if he wants the boob instead.

    In case anyone was interested in a follow up on MIL drama...

    Met with FIL, he didn't know, but now a lot of things make more sense to him. The last couple months her behavior has been different. They have had a few bad rounds. DH's dad has Parkinson's and is 16 years older than his mother. The other night he came home early and she got pissed. He was like, I live here, I can come home anytime I like. So she came downstairs and broke it down for him. She told him that he was old and had Parkinson's and that she had her whole life ahead of her. She told him that she was not going to take care of him and that she would find someone else. I guess the last 35 years of marriage didn't mean shit. DH is beyond devastated.

    That night DH and his sister went to the house to confront her about the drugs. She lied of course. I guess she was very uncaring about the whole thing. Like, oh yeah, sorry about that, it won't happen again. The conversation ended with her telling them that they didn't have to worry about it because she wasn't watching anyone's kids anymore and then stormed off.

    I am pretty sure she missed the point. DH went there to tell her that she was no longer welcome to watch our kids, but he didn't get that far. In any case, we decided that there was going to be no sweeping this one under the rug. No amount of gifts or idle conversation were going to smooth things over. She made her choice.

    Speaking of choices, I guess she'd rather go to another 49ers game with her loser bar friends than have Thanksgiving dinner with her family. Doesn't surprise me. That was her excuse for not coming to meet her granddaughter at the hospital.

    My brother was supposed to take care of my cats when I was gone. I get home and they have no food, no water, and their litter box is full. There's also day-old puke on my carpet. X(

    How does everyone keep the diapers from sticking to baby's butt? Surely I don't need butt paste every single time?

    Also, DD has been spending so much time playing on her kids kindle. But it keeps her entertained while I deal with Mr. Cranky ass.
