I know we all have something that's not quite right going on today...share!

sourlemon · January 2017

One of our cars is dead. Pushed it out of the garage last night so it can be jumped this morning before DH leaves for work (at 6am). At 530 we start trying to jump it. DH must of done something wrong because the cables were smoking and now the jumper car is dead and the dead car is still dead. Ugh.

Pull over my truck to save one car so he can take dd1 to daycare on the way to work...got jumper car to start but not the originally dead car. He said he heard a pop or something. At least the car (with carseats) is running. I'm stuck at home today unless I want to move carseats into the truck...which won't be happening. Hopefully we fix the main car this afternoon!

I have two.

I've had a major headache for two days now that just won't go away. I even have been taking the Motrin prescribed to me right after the birth and that helps for a bit, but then it comes back.

Heres the second: we have guys coming to the house at 8 this morning to hook up a water softener or something. We have two dogs that need to be locked up somewhere while they do it. It's pouring rain outside, so that's not an option, and the workers need access to he basement, so that's not good either. We'll probably have to lock them in a bedroom, which means they'll be barking and whining in earshot for hours today. That should be really great for my headache. Also, with workers in and out of the house, I can't just whip out my boobs to feed Max. I hate using covers!

Boob leakage. I'm sick of going through so many disposable pads each day and forgetting to change them and then leaking through my shirt.
And my tits laugh at reusable pads.

This is Snow Day 4 in a row. We went 1 day last week, and have been off since. I am just starting back and have Parent Teacher Conferences THURSDAY! How the hell am Insupposed to talk about your kid if I haven't really had class with them?!

sourlemon · January 2017

My dogs have really bad gas today...or DD is really stinky in the RnP (she's sleeping still and I'm not waking her). I think it's mainly the dogs. My poor nose!

thedaint87 · January 2017

Today is DH's first day back at work so I'm on my own with the baby. And of course he was up either crying or eating most of last night so I'm exhausted.

BabyRobbinsAdventure · January 2017

The inlaws are coming Wednesday for a week. They are the type that want to help, but don't really help. I'm in no mood to entertain for a week.

cgss11 · January 2017

It's Monday. Baby had a blowout in my bed. I want to try cutting out dairy. Blah blah blah.

dmontgo · January 2017

Somehow misplaced Ashton's SS card. I had it with all of our important documents, and when I checked today it wasn't there. Slightly freaking out. I don't think I left it anywhere public but it's frustrating.

slartybartfast · January 2017

-The Bump app on my phone isn't working right and it's too frustrating for me to deal with.
-I too have a headache.
-I too leak through pads - but I leak through them all. I need a milk diaper.
-DH is just not "able" to comfort this newborn. She's a little difficult when fussy but he always just brings her directly and tells me she's hungry. No, she's fussy. Hang out with her a bit.
-I'm constantly irritable with DH.

Lisa3379 · January 2017

@slartybartfast I've been irritable too, I'm trying to chill out. My boyfriend has spent almost his entire paternity leave on projects around the house, which ordinarily would be awesome, but I feel like he missed the point of paternity leave. It's almost like he purposefully did these projects so he could run to Home Depot three times a day and leave me with all the baby duty. I mean, he helps when I ask him, I just wish I didn't have to ask all the time.

Mamax2 · January 2017

DH fell asleep at 7:15 last night. Ugh. He left me with so much stuff to do, and both kids still awake. I tried multiple times to wake him up, but no such luck. DD and DS both decided it would be a good jight to fight sleep until 1 AM, and then DS thought he'd add to my tiredness by getting up every 45 mins- 1hour until waking up for the day at 5:40. Now he's back to sleep, but I can't nap with him because DD is home from school today due to snow and ice.

PharmDMom · January 2017

DS1 gave Parker a cold. A five week old with a cold is pitiful and crabby. Poor little buddy is sneezing, snorting, coughing and cranky. My back is killing me bc all I've done for several days is hold him. I'm so exhausted. And of course I'm nervous about him being so little and being sick.

No fever but man, it's stressful bc I'm freaking out every time he coughs. Saline drops, Nose frida and vaporizer aren't helping all that much but at least I feel like I'm doing something for him.

fauxpa-2 · January 2017

I have two BFs this weeks. First, is our health insurance/ my husband's job. They were a little late getting signed up for insurance this year so we won't get our insurance cards for another week. I'm annoyed because LO will have had about 5 doctor's appointments before then and it's a huge pain in the ass every time to have to explain that yes we have insurance but we are going to have to go back and run it later once the cards come in. It's just a dumb extra hassle.

My second BF is vitamin D drops. They make him super gassy/fussy with stomach issues. It takes a couple of days to get out of his system and I just hate seeing him so uncomfortable. This is the second time we've tried them with him and it's definitely the drops that are making him so miserable! He's getting some vitamin D from the formula we are supplementing with and that doesn't bother him so I'm just going to stop the drops and take him outside more once it's warmer.

PharmDMom · January 2017

@Fauxpa Have you tried these?
https://www.amazon.com/Ddrops-Vitamin-drops-2-5mL-fl-oz/dp/B003CT36NE

They are only made with fractionated coconut oil and vitamin d. No extra crap added. And you literally use one teeny tiny drop. Just turn the bottle over and the drop comes out after a few seconds. You can put it straight in baby's mouth or on your breast even. I agree if you're using formula your LO is probably getting a decent amount of D, but thought I would suggest these if you're interested.

fauxpa-2 · January 2017

@PharmDMom thank you! I will try those!

This is what we've been using too. I put it right on my nipple before our 1st morning feed.

H picked up a side job today so this was my first day alone with both girls (although my mom came over to help for a bit) but it literally could not have been a worse day for him to work. DD1 has had a fever since Saturday afternoon and was up at 3am burning up and only wanting to sleep on top of me. Meanwhile I had already been up with Willa since 2am and she wasn't settling back to sleep so H wound up staying up with her from 330am until he had to leave for work. When he left I was pumping, the baby was restless and DD1 was crying in her room. Oh and I was crying, of course. I was so overwhelmed and exhausted. Took DD1 to the dr and looks like it's just something viral that we need to wait out but seeing her sick sends my anxiety through the roof especially now with a newborn.

You just described me! I feel your pain.

DiFazette · January 2017

@sourlemon I read that as one of your cats died, not cars... then proceeded to read that you pushed it out the garage and thought to myself - well, that's one way of doing it. Then I re-read, and laughed my butt off.

phoenix870509 · January 2017

First day back at work and it's awful. First my boss isn't in today, and this IS AFTER I texted him last night asking if we could talk today to catch me up. My agents are requesting records and not copying me on the emails so I'm getting yelled at because the agents don't have records when I don't even know about it. They waited on the audit until my return and I have NOTHING for it, and gee thanks for waiting for me to do it guys. Appreciate it. Today is just a mess. I need a drink.

sourlemon · January 2017

@DiFazette hahahaha I'm a dog person. Let's hope I don't have a dead cat in my garage!

ea301 · January 2017

Can my BF be a baby? Cause this girl will not nap.

sourlemon · January 2017

@ea301 my sister sent me a pic of a shirt that said "shut your pi hole" with the pi sign (my thesis was on pi) and I asked her if it's too soon to direct that sentiment towards my kid. I was asking for a friend of course...

kattyc-2 · January 2017

Reflux. I thought we were getting sht figured out, then bam - silent reflux hits. Now it's like I have to figure everything out again. Prop her up during and after feeds, find a way for her to sleep that isn't on her back but isn't a sids risk, feed her less more often, and I feel bad that she doesn't feel well.
Also, I trimmed her nails today and nicked the skin. I know it's something minor but I felt like a terrible mom at the time!
@ea301 difficulty napping here too. And count me in with the headache crowd.

leksiL · January 2017

It's 1:30 am and DH is still at work. His boss always waits until the last minute to assign super big projects with firm deadlines. Then they work on them get them in at the last minute (or late) and they lose the bid anyway. So we might see him in the next MOTN feeding, or the next one. Luckily so far DD hasn't been awful. But I need to take a shower before our BF support group tomorrow am so hopefully he shows up sometime!!

wynterwaddell · January 2017

My BF is once again DH. He came home last night and got mad at me because it's 20 degrees here and I didn't know it was supposed to be that cold so I didn't leave the water dripping because he usually tells me when I need to let it drip. So he got pissed at me and didn't kiss me or even talk to me really and walked in the room and slammed the door closed when LO was in the room in his bed asleep and had been sleeping good up until that point. So LO wakes up and starts wailing and then of course I was up until 4 am consoling him because once again I can't sleep through my newborn screaming his little lungs out, then I finally dozed off while Lo was feeding and then he gets back up screaming at 7 this morning so I changed him and fed him and he went back to sleep until 10:45 which he would have slept longer I bet if DH hadn't been texting me while I was trying to get some sleep and then he says is lo still sleeping? & I'm like well he was but not anymore. So now my sleep is once again non existent along with all the help I never get either. I understand he works everyday 6days a week but jeez I could use a little bit of help every once in while. I know he can't feed him because I'm exclusively breastfeeding and don't have a pump right now but he could always deal with him for a few hours on his day off and let me get some sleep too because he gets to sleep pretty much all day his day off. & then when I replied to his text and said neither one of ne or LO got much sleep last night he texted back and said yeah he (dh) is tired as hell. im like yeah I get you work ax you're tired too but you basically just completely ignore the fact that I take care of he dogs and the chores and everything that needs done around the house plus take care of the baby all by myself. ugh. Otherwise we're great but he pisses me off when he does that.
