Re: Monday Randoms
Good luck return to work moms including @bethas and @smboswell1. Hopefully your days go quickly
LO has only been asleep 10 minutes in the rocking chair, only 20 more to go before I will try to move him to his R&P. I'm trying to read a book but it's making me sleepier. So I alternate between TB, Trivia Crack (apparently my friends don't sleep either), FB, and my book. Agh.
Good luck to the moms going to work! It'll be tough, but it'll get easier and you'll get into a routine. My thoughts are with yall!
Good luck to @targetpopcornmomma too! I hope your appointment goes well today
*edit for grammar and punctuation
@targetpopcornmomma...good luck at your appointment today!! Praying for peace and comfort for you in regards to your surgery. You're almost through this hurdle!!
Good luck to all mommas going back to work today. You'll do great and be home to your baby in no time.
Just spent 45 minutes putting LO to sleep, only to lose her in the transfer to the RNP! ~X(
I needed to get in my final pump for the night. Argh!
We were just starting to get some great 5-hr stretches of sleep around Christmas time, and now the last three nights we've been up every 2 hours or less! Ughhhhh! Her adjusted age is 5.5weeks...growth spurt? Also, she only wants to poop into a brand new, fresh diaper. I need a nap.
@KUinCBUS I had no idea that was possible, thank you!! You just gave me hope for this day
@bethas I am feeling the same about today. It was quite a chore getting everything ready and I've hardly slept tonight even though LO did pretty well.
Pretty sure I will be doing the ugly cry today
@jjandmeg - hope you can watch Downton Abbey either on the PBS site or stream it to your phone! It usually reruns in the middle of the night on PBS as well. It was a good episode, I'm so excited it's back!!
This is my last week of maternity leave! I'm sad, nervous and also semi looking forward to going back. I know it will make things even harder when I go back, since I'm the one who does everything for LO right now. In a sick way, I'm looking forward to my husband spending a 16 hr day with her, just so he can see how hard it is...and he won't even experience trying to breastfeed her, then supplement her, then pump every 2-3 hrs! He's watched her so I could go to appointments, but never longer than 2 hrs. I'm going to try to be positive this week and enjoy the time I have left with my little lady!
Second: I used the bbc feeds, and I've finished the whole season of Downton Abbey! No I have to wait until September.
Back to work for me today...ugh....at least LO gave me a nice start. I thought we were doomed with how it started but it ended up ok.
I had him bathed and sleeping at 8:30 last night. He made it til 9:15 before screamfest started. From 9:15-11 pm we fed again, changed a spit up on sleeper, changed a poopy diaper, and had a 20 minute hiccup session. Then my magical baby slept from 11 pm til 4:15!!! I got a 5 hour stretch! Whew!
I tried to get another hour after his 4 am feeding, but he was fussing, so downstairs we came. He happily hung out in his swing while I ate cereal and now he is sleeping again.
It's 20 degrees outside, very windy and snow covered! Eeeeeeeww!!!

@targetpopcornmomma - good luck today at your appointment!
I am so nervous. I hardly slept last night. DS was a complete angel before bed and when he fell asleep, I didn't want to put him down. I cried. I stayed up preparing lunches for the week and getting everything organized for today. I am heading up a new project and meet my new team today too. This should be fun. I am hoping the pumping goes smoothly. We got this ladies! Also definitely going with the waterproof eye makeup. I will definitely be crying today.
@targetpopcornmomma good luck at your appointment! Remember that taking care of yourself is the best way to take care of your family
LO has been up for HOURS. He's either screaming, grinning (for short periods of time), or feeding. Oh my nips hurt so bad! He's never been like this! Just transfered to rnp, he's awake and fussing but no screaming yet knock on wood. I'm sitting on the edge of the bed, rocking it with my foot. Reeeaaalllyyy hope he goes to sleep soon...
Downton fans. Did you watch/record the special "Manners of Downton Abbey" (or something)? I also recorded something called "Million Dollar American Princesses" which is about the American women who married into the British aristocracy. I heart this type of thing, hard.
@AnnieRoo13 we could get along
Good luck today @targetpopcornmomma!
Also add me to the Downton club! Although I miss Matthew terribly!
I've been all sorts of MIA between the holidays and all the interlopers, I mean family and friends...
Hope the ladies going back to work have a fast and easy day!
I unfortunately have a cold. Not entirely sure how this happened as I haven't been anywhere and I haven't seen anyone (besides DH) for a week, and he hasn't been sick. So far LO seems okay. I've been bathing in purell so fx this goes away soon and LO escapes unscathed.
Good luck to everyone headed to work! I'm pretty nervous about starting today. 4 kids.... Uhhhh. We will see how this goes.
I got a reprieve. My OB called this morning and had to reschedule my pp checkup til Friday. My director won't let me come back to work without a signed release from him. So now instead of going back tomorrow, I go next Monday. I'm so glad to have another week with G but now I have to worry about another week unpaid that I wasn't budgeted for.... Being a working mommy is hard.
I just scratched off the scratch off tickets that people had left here for me in my absence, and I won $500 !!!! squeeeee!!!!
That will pay for 1.5 months of babysitting!!!

@targetpopcornmomma and all the mommies who have to go back to work, good luck!
Little girl is awake and full of smiles this morning which makes the early wake up time a lot easier. Not sure if I should try and sleep when she goes back to bed, or stay up.
Also DH and I started 30 day shred two days ago. I'm SOOO freaking sore! Anyone else start back working out? I noticed a tiny increase in lochia which I'm wondering if normal.
Meet Laura ladies!
For all the mamas returning to work, know that your lo's will be just fine and the first day is the hardest. My heart goes out to all of you!
Good luck to all the mamas returning to work today.
This afternoon Kaitlyn and I get to pick up her passport!
