I just need to vent for a moment. With H being away I am packing everything by myself! I broke down this morning, I am just so overwhelmed by everything. Everything is in piles around the house. I have never been so unorganized. I just need someone to hold LO so I can run around and get stuff done. My grandmother was going to but she is sick

@BridgetThoams‌
I wish I could help out! Moving is super stressful and exhausting as it is. You're super woman for doing it alone with a newborn.

@targetpopcornmomma We feed little one 4oz anywhere between 3-5 hours. We are sometimes starting to give her 5oz right before bed. Plus I have even filled two of her 4 bottles for daycare with 5oz. Sometimes she will eat the full 5oz sometimes she leaves an ounce. I know when LO was going through her growth spurt and 4oz wasn't cutting it we did what you are doing giving 2oz when she hadn't hit the 3 our mark. Maybe try and give 5oz and see how that goes but those growth spurts can be killer. Good luck

This is quite random and not really to baby related. But I had a pair of jeans I bought right before BFP so didn't get to wear them much. Finally was able to fit back into them and the 2nd day I wore them went to get into my car for work and they ripped X( so bought some new jeans wednesday. What sucks is I'm at that height were the regular length is just a tad to long and short length is just a tad to short. Too bad they don't make a inbetween length

@targetpopcornmomma Gio has been getting 5 oz feedings for awhile now. He is on the verge of getting bumped up to 6 oz. feedings. There are plenty of times when he still wants more after 5 oz. Sometimes I make him 2 more oz and he will devour it all. Last night he ate 5 oz at 6:30, then when I tried putting him to bed at 8:30, he wasn't having it. He ate 4 more oz, then fell asleep. So he ate 9 oz in a 2 hour period. He is quite the piggy.

@targetpopcornmomma‌ I am trying to figure that out as well. Typically my LO eats 4oz every 3 hrs. Sometimes she wants more and I make her another 2oz - which she will drink 1.5oz of. But it's certainly not after every feed.
Until she consistently wants more after every feed, I will just make her 2oz more when she wants it.

@MmmPopcorn‌ are you by chance not Canadian? Do you know what a loonie is?

@AnnieRoo13 My grandmother was Canadian-born, and I still have family in Ontario. I learned about loonies when I visited once!
Oh good! I always forget Americans don't have loonies! One dollar bills freak me out

You win the internet today. Congrats.

Anyone planning to take LO to a beach vacation this summer? I REALLY want to go to the beach this summer, but I am afraid I may be biting off more than I can chew. We are in PA, so Ocean city is about 7 hours away. I figure he would be around 7-8 months when we would go.....so he would probably be trying to eat the sand by then. :-/

You we go to St.Augustine, FL every summer and this summer is no different! We are going for 8 days! LO will be at a great age says my mom

Work has been busy but great! Here is how my day has gone so far....

8:00- finished nursing. Put Beckham down to sleep so I could get the 4 and 7 year old off to school.
9:15-10:50- Beckham is awake. The two year old, beckham, and i watch tv. The nanny dad comes up and tells me he is on a conference call and to move rooms if anyone starts crying.
11:00- right when I start nursing Beckham, the 2 year old starts crying. I jump up with Beckham on my boob, grab drew, and run to the playroom.. Hilarious. Beckham goes down for a nap.
11:15-12:30- clean the house while drew is playing.
12:30-2: Beckham is up. Drew helps me change him and feed him. We play. Beckham goes down at 1:50. I take drew upstairs, rock her, put her down for her nap. At 2, Beckham wakes up and my mom walks through the door to get him! Now, the 4 year old is home from school!

3:15: kasi poops in her pants. Explosive diarrhea from the meds she is on. I wash her off, change her, get her ready for play practice.
3:45- kasi is out the door and the 7 year old is home! He is pretty independent, so now I'm bumping and waiting for drew to get up:)

Woooooooo

Wow @smboswell1‌! I'm so impressed with how well you're managing to take care of Beckham and nanny. I can barely get through the day with just my LO!

Thanks! I honestly don't know how I'm doing it!

@gldnbearz‌ you're lucky you've had changing tables! Every time I take LO to the dr I have to change his diaper a minimum of 2 times. Idk what it is about that place but he loves to go. And they have no changing tables. Luckily I carry one of those mat things with me to lay down lol @LivInCA‌ I pm'd you back! Sorry it took me so long. I'm mobile and don't get notifications

Ugh this - Will has gone through 1-2 diapers every time we've been do the pediatrician. He's usually dirty when we strip him on the scale, and then twice he's gone again when we were stripping him for the doctor's examination. Once he peed all over the exam table. I figure it was not the first time this has happened.

Had a great Friday, he took lovely naps so I got showered and got to do some dishes so DH didn't come home to such a freaking mess. A friend from work came to visit me on her lunch break and brought me pizza.

Holy shit. My kid finally slept at daycare.

The inventor of the swaddle sack deserves a medal... And a bj.

I went to pick him up and we was just starting to wake up. They mentioned he hadn't had his second bottle yet so I bounced and went back two hours later. It was freaking amazing.

I highly doubt something as genius as this was invented by a man!

Curlyfries851 · January 2015

So I know this is so opposite of an issue for most people...but I'm pretty sure LO hates when I hold him lol. He's okay when I feed him, but if I ever try to hold him just to hold him, he gets all fussy and cranky til I put him in his bouncer. I know he likes me cuz I can get him laughing like crazy and he loves when I play with him when he's laying or sitting in his bouncer, but I can't help but feel sad that he doesn't like cuddling with me

BridgetThoams · January 2015

@curleyfries851 have you tried holding different ways. My niece only likes to be held facing outward, she gets mad and screams if you try to hold her facing you.

Random: 2 months ago when I gave birth the last thing I wanted was to get pregnant again. Now its all I can think about, I really want to be pregnant and have another baby, like now!!!!!!!!!! LO is only 2 months old! Why am I thinking this
