Happy Friday! Who's ready for the weekend?! Any big plans?
I hit a new low yesterday. I finally got LO down for a nap (why must he fight them so hard?) and hooked myself up to this wretched pump. After about 5 minutes, I got a bloody nose. No biggie. 2 minutes later LO is screaming from the swing. So I shoved a tissue up my nose, grabbed my pump with one hand, and sat on the floor trying to calm LO down with my other free hand. Super glamorous!

Re: Friday Randoms
I don't have any weekend plans that are too exciting. Taking the kids out to lunch with my mom tomorrow.
Is this the freaking 6 week growth spurt? My child will not sleep and is
comfort sucking my nipple off. Ahhhhh.
I'm sitting up with G to help with her reflux. She spit up twice yesterday morning and choked on it so I called the dr for some Zantac. He's reluctant to prescribe it as she is having weight gain. Sooooo, we sit upright for 30 min after eating. She just loves it
I have my pp checkup this evening and my baby brother has a basketball game tonight. Tomorrow, I'm getting my skunk tail colored. Ahhhhh, I can't wait for some pampering!
I'm trying to figure out what we did differently and there were two major things. Normally he sleeps in a bassinet placed in his crib, but we took it out last night as he's getting a little big for it, so it was straight crib sleep. Also, DH have him a bottle of pumped milk at about 10 when LO was pretty sleepy. I guess it sort of acted like a dream feed and kept LO full until now.
Unfortunately I couldn't sleep the whe time as I was worried something was wrong, but it's still the most sleep nice gotten since we had LO!
Up with both boys. I was feeding LO when ds1 came out scared because he had a "bad dream". So now he's curled up on the couch watching cartoons
I agree, those spurts should come with a nanny. I also think my the time a child is 18 mon little cleaning fairies should just hover around them. My time would be so much better spent if I didn't have to peel stickers off the floor.
So DH and I just DTD and it was awful. He wakes me up in the motn and the lube is nowhere to be found ( because who knows the last time it was needed). It was AWFUL. Luckily it was quick. But now I'm up pumping because my body is used to the girls being emptied once I wake up.
Oh and baby girl caught her sisters' cold. Ugh.
On a different note LO is having a tough time eating this morning because of his stuffy nose. I used the nose frida and got lots of boogies out but he's still struggling
@LivInCA I pm'd you back! Sorry it took me so long. I'm mobile and don't get notifications
Also- I dk why my username changed. Not new to the board.... Formerly Lo2010
@uncharted01 That. Is. Amazing. A perfect storm of sorts!
@flutterbuggie Yay new friend/extended family member!!! I really hope you two hit it off and you have ALL THE PLAY DATES
@targetpopcornmomma Babies coming with a nanny?!?! Brilliant. But it sounds like delivery would be even more of a nightmare. :P
@gldnbearz I haven’t had to do this yet, but I hear the back seat of the car makes a good mobile changing table.
Congrats, @AnnieRoo13 on your sleep!
@bethas Happy Birthday to DS1!!!!!
We have our first music class this weekend. I am so excited to sing, dance and play instruments while LO stares off into space or sleeps!
Edit: spacing
That is awesome @AnnieRoo13 hopefully LO keeps that trend going. I know that when my LO sleeps longer I wake up in a panic thinking "Why hasn't she woke up yet?" then I lay there waiting to either fall back asleep or until she actually wakes up. It will be nice when LO starts to be consistent with her sleep at night.
Big plans for the weekend me and LO are going to my best friend's DD birthday party so that should be fun. Then other then that watching football. GO COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also something random today. Since I have come back from marterinty leave at work there is this one lady who is very eerily nice to me all of a sudden. Before I even left she never talked to me (or anyone else in my office, even though she use to be in our office before she got a new position) I think it might have to do with the position she is in because it only last two years and that's up right about now then she will have to come back to a clerk job (unless she applies and gets a foreman job) But since she was hired before me she can knock me out of job position and I would have to go to another job position of someone that was hired after me. So it makes me wonder if that is the reason she is being so nice because she is about to take away my job. But it is very creepy
I'm already tired of all the sickness this winter and it's only the beginning of January ugh!
Happy Friday Ladies!!
No big plans for me this weekend. DH is working daylight, so I plan to take Gio out to visit my parents, my sis, and her 9 month old. It supposed to be in the teens for a high, and windy. That sucks. They live about an hour from me, so when I go visit, I try to stay awhile. I need to get groceries too. We are just about out of bread and milk. I need to come up with some meal ideas for next week too. That should consume my entire weekend. Saturday is supposed to be our last bitterly cold day though....starting Sunday we are supposed to be back in the 30's. I might go outside in a tshirt after these 0 degrees days.

Um why must DH want sex when the kiddos are up does he not get that sneaking off to our room will not work when we have a 3yr old who follows me around the house constantly. Come on DH stop thinking with the little head lol
I need some advice on how to pick up friends lol. I just found out my next door neighbour has a baby that's a few weeks older than my LO (hubby saw her outside a couple weeks ago and she asked if we had a baby then shared her news...usually we are like boats passing in the night because DH and I are commuters...) Anyways, I think it would be nice to have a mommy friend right next door, but I'm not sure how to re-introduce myself...I honestly don't even remember her name from when we introduced ourself when we moved into the neighbourhood. Without knowing her name I feel like I'd be such an ass to, like, knock on her door. I honestly feel like a teenage boy trying to think of an "opener" lol. Advice? Lol

@bethas Happy Birthday to DS1.
Question: how do you define "poopy diaper?" Every single one of our son's diapers is a poopy diaper. He doesn't have a lot of full diapers, but every diaper has poop in it. There has maybe been one diaper in the last six weeks that was just a pee diaper. Is this normal? How should I count poopy diapers when I go to the ped's office?
@gldnbearz I change diapers in the car often! The public changing tables kind of creep me out, so it's easier for me to use the back seat. I've also changed DS in the stroller. You learn to get creative!
My boobs were engorged and I didn't know where I was, but yay!
flutterbuggie
Almost completed my first week back... Yay! Hurry up 6!
@MmmPopcorn are you by chance not Canadian? Do you know what a loonie is?
We have LO's car seat in the middle of the back seat of a Mazda 3 sedan. I've tried to lie her down. Doesn't seem to be enough room to get the job done.
@oklahomamom09
I love my pediatrician's office. I asked them if the public restroom outside their office had a changing table and they had me come into the exam room area bathroom even though it wasn't time for our appointment yet.
Okay, good, I wasn't sure! I know not everyone knows about our funny money. I mean how many countries have a coin called a loonie!?
Best/longest night of sleep in our house yet! Also most engorged boobies EVER but it was so worth it. I feel like a new woman.
