I thought it might be fun/helpful to do a late night random thought thread for all the time spent up for those dreaded nighttime feedings. Of course you can post any time, I just like having something to look forward to reading during the night and thought it might help anyone who is awake feel less lonely.

But my mind keeps asking, what if it isn't dairy? What if it was just the formula? What if it is something else in my diet?
So, I am leaning towards going to strictly formula to eliminate most of the variables... but I enjoyed breastfeeding (most of the time) and I'd like to think that I'm helping her health-wise. It's now been about 24 hours of only formula. My boob (the only one she'll nurse from) hurts so bad, even though I've pumped. And what do I do with the pumped milk if she can't have it? There isn't much, but throwing it away makes me want to cry... more.
My mom commented that DD smells like caramel and I was like I'm pretty sure that's just a combo of sweat and breast milk, but I'll take it.

@Hipshaker me too. Ftm and getting a lot of judgement from in laws. It just seems to be the only way we get sleep and we are all happier for it.
Poor DH, this guy is so stressed out right now tho he would never ever admit it. Too many gigantic life transitions all at the same time as becoming a dad. He quit smoking two days after DS was born and has stuck with it so it's been over 6 weeks now but I think he's hitting the point where his lungs are going to start....purging... All the yuck. He was coughing so much last night, just hope he doesn't get pneumonia from successfully quitting smoking, that would be the last thing he needs right now
@GAgirlinSDakota that sounds so stressful with a newborn and all those pp hormones! I hope you can easily figure out what is best for you and your kids and that you have a good support system if that means leaving your SO
edit: realized I wanted to add more and didn't want to do another post

I realized when my alarm went off at 5:15 this morning, that we need to get a move on with our upstairs remodel, or make the journey up and down stairs if we move DS up into his nursery. He's in our bedroom that we have downstairs that has a joining room. It's used as mine and DH's changing room and DH's computer desk is in there. Well, it's where we both would get ready in the mornings if the other was sleeping, so the other wouldn't be bothered or woken up. We put DS's bassinet in the office last week, to make a little more room for us to maneuver around, in the bedroom. Well, I had to feel my way around the office this morning to grab my makeup, clothes, and other belongings and bring them into the bathroom, all because I couldn't turn a light in in there or our bedroom, as DS and DH were still sleeping. DH had to pick up the bassinet and move DS back into the bedroom once his alarm went off, because he wears glasses and would have never been able to get his way around in the dark.
