I'll start again! Since I'm up and the installers are here putting in my new washer and dryer! Woo hoo! But oh, so tired.. up from 2-4am, then back up at 6. Please nap today, DD.

MrsSarahRenee · December 2014

My 5 week old already rebels a against naps. Booooo

AppleGrapeMSTK · December 2014

I had the worst sleep last night. Bed at 10, up with DS1 twice, up with DS2 twice, then up for good at 3:50 am. Could have gone back to sleep if DH's alarm didn't go off every 7min from 4:15 until 4:45.

Maybe it's my lack of sleep adding to my unhappiness, but I am pretty bummed about my birthday. I always make sure that birthdays are special and no one gets left out, but I never get the same courtesy. No card, no cake, no nothing. I had family portraits taken as my gift, but yesterday DH said he was taking the kids shopping so I had a little something to open on my birthday, and he forgot. He did the same thing on Mothers Day this year.

DS1 did draw me a picture of a bug. It's a pretty cool looking bug.

Leysin97 · December 2014

To those of you already back at work you are amazing! I couldn't even imagine being back right now. Happy hump day!

Baby took forever to go to sleep last night..she finally conked out around midnight and slept till after 6.. ill take it I suppose

Lindzoid · December 2014

Been up since the 5am nursing session, I'm trying to prepare myself for my return to work.

MrsSarahRenee · December 2014

Thinking I may tasks the baby to the mall to walk. Where do you lady's work out when it is cold???

AppleGrapeMSTK · December 2014

Thanks for the love, lady's.

On a total side note, there is a discussion about their kids' names on this local mom FB group I'm in. Everyone has horrible names! Another lady named her kid Soulleymann. Amazed to find another Solomon in the area, but how can you butcher the name so much?? Is it not unique enough for you??

Other names on the list include Jurn.ee, Milod.in (Milo+Odin), Ko.wyn, Ac.elynn, and Drui.dess. Many of the other names the moms have admitted to making up, like Tyian.niah, which is the y00neek way to spell Tiana.

Calling all dog people!

DH and I noticed last night that our dog is acting very strange. Like he's been totally rejected, almost. It's very weird. He walks around with his tail down, won't eat unless you're telling him to, has a really sad face... we can't figure it out. He's normally VERY excitable and happy... this is very out of character for him.

We can't think of a thing that has happened to make him act this way. Any clue what would cause this kind of behavior out of nowhere?

eta: I am a cat person and don't really like dogs, so I'm not super familiar with dogs and their ways. We've had him almost a year now, and I'm still getting used to him.

As long as you rule out any sickness, it could be behavioural changes due to the new baby. It might seem out of nowhere, but I bet he's gotten less attention since LO has come home and it might just be manifesting itself now.

Or he could have an upset stomach.

MrsSinner402 · December 2014

DD hasnt pooped since about 2:00 yesterday. Normally I get tons of poops. Could this have to do with the shots she got maybe?

Yes! I have to force him to sleep when he starts getting tired. I hate to see what he's like as a toddler.

I don't know if it's related to the shots, but my DD won't poop either and is not happy about it. So love tits for solidarity.
We went 2 days without a poop when she normally poops every few hours. I called my mom and she said all babies do this sometimes. It won't last long.

Sure enough, we saw 2 days worth of poop this morning at 3:45 am. Yuck.

My baby goes five days. When she goes , she means it @-)

golfingdarwinfish · December 2014

S and I are listening to classical music while he lays in his boppy and stares at the phone (source of the music). I looked over at him during a long violin solo and he had tears running down the side of his eyes. Next up was the piano, and he was considerably happier during it. Guitar he woke up from a nap, dropped his binky, and moved his arms a ton.

I know he's far too young to have emotions brought on by the music, but I'm going to pretend that he is especially moved by the violin.

July 15 has another "everyone is so mean" post titled "Isn't this a support group?" Lady's like that are why participation awards are given out to everyone.

Ohhh, I haven't seen that one yet! One of the best things about being a mod is the reported posts forum - it's great for keeping up with drama around TB. I'll have to start sharing especially dramatic threads.

Our pup did this too. The vet said he was just still adjusting to baby and all the changes. We made sure to get him a,couple new toys and to be intentional with our attention to him. He was back to his normal personality in a couple days.

Am I alone on this?!?!?

Nope. People are super dumb.

I think it's refreshing that the line associating specific colors with each sex is becoming a bit blurry.

Serious question, how do you force him to sleep? Mine fights naps all the time....

I hold him on his side in cradle position with his should under my boob and his head on my boob, force a pacifier in his mouth and walk, sway or bounce while patting his back and shhing. His cry gets weaker until he finally drifts off. The big trick is trying to put him down.

My boobs let down on their own with no stimulation and leak everywhere. I'm doomed to be forever chained to my breast pads.

Same. I hate it.

slsl509 · December 2014

My boobs also leak constantly. I can't even dry my hair after a shower without breast pads or a I soak the front of my robe.

DD was mistaken for a boy until she was 2 and had enough hair for a small pony on the top of her head. She could be wearing a pink dress and people would still be dumb and call her a boy.

DS spit up so much on me yesterday I had to change my underwear. And him, and the sheets. Ugh. He also seems to be developing a small flat spot. he's such a unicorn good napper that he's laying on his head a lot (and hates being worn). Never had that problem with my diva DD who wanted to be held.

MrsSinner402 · December 2014

I was explaining to SIL this morning about how I hope DD naps today so I can nap too. Her response was "she will be fine if you sleep." As in I should just take a nap while she's awake and she'll be fine. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. NO.

Syllessa · December 2014

I haven't started reading yet, but I needed to share. I was scrolling through pics on Google looking for my new siggy, and found a pic that I swear is my cousin and me. I've never seen THIS pic of us before, but I've seen Christmas pics where she and I were wearing those dresses, at those ages, and it LOOKS just like her.

I'd be the one on bottom. So weird.

slsl509 · December 2014

Have you guys tried putting your LO near the clothes dryer? That has been my ultimate move when DS is too wound up to fall asleep. I carry him into the laundry room and put on the dryer. He's out within seconds. It's almost eerie. i also put the RnP outside the laundry room with the door cracked so it's not too loud (I measured, it's 50 decibels that way).

YMMV but the dryer has been an absolute godsend this time around.

You are seriously my birthday twin. Same date and everything. I've made sure every year to have at least cake and card for FI, usually there is a gift, too. My bday? Not even so much as a "happy birthday" until last night, when i got "oh, I saw on FB it's your birthday, so happy birthday." Needless to say, he spent the night in the living room. He "forgets" every year.

Jennifer18131 · December 2014

H told me this morning that my Christmas present would be delivered today and asked that I leave it on the front porch in case the packaging gives away what it is. The package was just delivered and I'm already tempted to peek. I'm such a child.

Nope! I told DH that we have a seriously pretty boy ;-)

windwithfingers · December 2014

My mom is napping with DS on her chest. It's super cute and it gave me time to paint my nails! Made me feel good.

Oh and an update on the ILs: they're acting like nothing happened and asked to stop by on Saturday. I said yes. We'll see how it goes.

bumpuser10309732 · December 2014

Does anyone else's LO rub their face into you when you're trying to get them to sleep? It drives me nuts!

Omg have you seen the video of the baby crying when his mom sings to him? Sweetest thing ever! All the feels for sure

I have to opposite problem with people always thinking DS is a girl.

Old guy in the waiting room: "Is it a girl?"
Me: "No, he's a boy"
Old guy:"Oh no, he can't be a boy"

WTH does that mean?! TPs to them all!

MrsSinner402 · December 2014

When I'm already sleep deprived and cranky I should know better than to try and sleep during the day when she naps. Because I just start to doze and she wakes up. After 20 fucking minutes. Then I'm even more cranky.
