  • TGIF! I want cheese. :-w
    My FFFC last week was going to be that if DD had a dairy allergy, I would switch to FF. I can't give up dairy, especially my cheese. :-S
    This was absolutely going to be my FFFC today.
    There's an enfamil can on top of my fridge for this very reason. I tried to eliminate dairy for like a day and I couldn't. There is dairy in or on EVERYTHING I eat. Luckily, we have no dairy allergy. 
  • I'm worried that I may be leaning towards the PPD. I used to only feel this way during MOTN and chalked it up to being tired and irritable. But now I'm feeling this way during the day, too. I have no patience for DD. I feel like all I get to see is her asleep (in which case I try to nap and she wakes up within minutes every fucking time) or I get to see her screaming and crying because she's hungry. I'm starting to resent her and be unnecessarily angry over things I shouldn't. For example I'm laying here in bed crying because she is refusing to nap right now and she just threw up/spit up in her PNP 5 fucking times. And now she's fussing because shes hungru again. And all I can do is lay here and bawl my eyes out. I find myself asking why I did this in the first place. I feel like this mom stuff isnt for me. I need to be more compassionate, and I can't. I think I need help.

  • I went to Carters last night to find some long sleeve onesies. You either have to buy a pack of ugly ones or a pack with 1 cute one and a whole bunch of other shit you don't need. :-<
  • Can babies get diaper rash in their crack where the diaper doesn't touch? I feel stupid asking, but LO has a few red bumps.

  • @MrsSinner402 - I am so sorry you are having such a hard time! <<hugs>> It does get better and I'm sure you are doing a great job, even if you are feeling so poorly. I agree to reach out for help if you need to. In addition, have you had any time away from baby? If not, then I suggest enlisting help from a friend or family member to watch LO while you nap or go out on a a date with your husband. Same goes for your husband… have him watch LO while you nap or go out and do something for yourself. Being exhausted will make every thing so much worse these first few months and getting away from LO while you sleep or take a break, might be in order. I hope you feel better about it all soon!

    @SPurp13‌ -- assets is the spanx brand at target; I really like them and wear them under dresses and skirts at work frequently. I like the bike shorts version -- no lines, holds in butt, thighs, stomach.

    I straight ugly cried for a solid half hour this morning bc it hurt so much to nurse DS with this *still* plugged duct and I was (am) exhausted from him not sleeping.

    I'm not sure what to do -- I've tried every trick, and this plug does not seem to be going anywhere after 4 days. It's so frustrating.

    You might want to call the doc and make sure its not mastitis. I make DH rub it out cause he will out more pressure than I will because of the pain. Dont get me wrong it hurts but he has gotten two out that way after I tried everything else.

  • @MrsSinner401, head to the PPD thread. There are a TON of us feeling the same as you. It sounds shitty, but just reading through and knowing others feel the same make me feel a little better/more normal. 

    I tend to have really bad nights. When the sun goes down, I'm crazy. It doesn't help that I'm chained to the house. I left it one day in a week. It was last night, in the dark, to go to WalMart. I can't really go anywhere by myself or with the baby because I am not sure I'm supposed to be driving/lifting her in the seat, and I'm too scared to go by myself anyway. If I keep busy during the day, I'm ok. But still, I have bad days. Monday was a very bad day. Yesterday and today are not too bad, aside from the trying on of the pants, which was stupid. So, my point is--I hope you have a good day soon.

  • So some of you may remember in my birth story the mention of my amazing nurse. Well the hospital gives awards to exceptional staff and you can nominate them. Well I wrote my story out and I nominated her because she genuinely touched me as an amazing person.I got an email and they chose my story and she won the award! I'm so excited and they asked me to come next Thursday and surprise her when they present her with the award. Well I can't. I'm supposed to be going out of town with DH and we've been looking forward to it for a month now. On top of that the hospital is a really long drive to make alone with my crabby baby. I'm pretty torn about it because she was such a big deal to me, but our trip that I committed to with DH. Ugh...
    This is cheesey, but can you video or skype? Or, can they move it to another day when you aren't out of town?

    Absolutely. My older child gets irritated there usually after sitting in pee too long. Diaper rash isn't necessarily from the diaper itself but could be the poop or pee irritating the skin.
    Okay, thank you! I had a flashlight shining on it in the MOTN trying to figure out how she got diaper rash there.

    The lady coordinating everything told me I could write a letter and attach a picture of my family or I could do a video, I have no fucking idea how to make a video. I guess with my camera? But then it'd probably be too large of a file to email? Anyway I know I'm going to do something because it means a lot to me but I don't know what for sure I'm going to do yet, and the guilt of going with DH on the trip. I wish they'd move it so I could be there! The weird part is they're excited that I still want to participate. Of course I do! Who the hell are these people that they've chosen in the past that don't want to? Weird!

  • Regarding the stuffy noses... How do you guys clean the bulb syringe thingy? We've been doing saline drops but not so much using the bulb sucker bc I feel like it's dirty. I want to try what @dredford‌ suggested....

    We also have a Nose Frida but I have no clue how to use it....

    This kid has too much hair for some damn cradle cap! I'll be dousing her in almond oil, and brushing her hair on Sunday at her next bath X(
  • And this honest company lotion smells awful, and makes her skin dry! Ick.
  • Up next, California baby I guess...
