Random saturdays

Yay irish14! Enjoy being home

It's been a crazy few days. DD's bilirubin levels went through the roof, so we had to be readmitted to the hospital and start supplementing with formula and pumped milk. We spent one night there and got discharged this morning. She's feeling so much better. We have to use the annoying bili blanket at home till they give us the all clear, hoping that will happen tomorrow. I'm dealing with all the associated mommy guilt, but it's great to be home (and we actually got sleep at the hospital).

Hope everyone is doing well! I can't believe all the babies.

Did I miss a piratecat update somewhere?

cubbiebear325 I used Miralax plus Colace after both boys to help move things along and make it....less difficult. Hope today's the day, that discomfort sucks.

So we are camping right now... last hurrah as a family of 3 (eek). We're only 40 minutes away so it's kinda no big deal. HOWEVER... we had a nightmare of an evening yesterday. Stupidly I never opened the camper after winter storage to get it prepped for our first trip. It just didn't cross my mind even though I do it every year. It's a hybrid camper so it's a camper you tow but the beds fold out like a popup camper (convenient when your tow vehicle can't lug a huge heavy full size camper). WELL there was a leak and a small hole in one of the bunk's canvas.... SLIGHT water damage .... BUT .... HUNDREDS OF CARPENTER ANTS.... I'm terrified of bugs but luckily ants are the least terrifying... but my blood pressure was most definitely through the roof and thank god my husband took care of most of it. But it was traumatizing. 2-3 hours of cleaning and killing bugs. It was a nightmare. It was so hard to contain them to one area so they wouldn't just scatter throughout the camper. My heart is racing just thinking about it.

So needless to say we slept in the back bunk which was perfectly fine and clean.

Now that it's the next day the ants are 99% gone... I still find one wandering here and there but it seems like we don't need to burn the camper to the ground.

Never again will I go straight from storage to campground.

Good luck with solo parenting!  That sounds tricky but you'll make it through and i'm sure it'll get easier each day!

Good luck on resolving the gas problem... we were also in a daily gas drop routine with DS but it's tricky when that doesn't do the trick.  

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!

How did errands go?? What'd you end up tackling?
Also, how old is DD?

Good luck!  We're also hoping we make it to Tuesday as well and each day the lightning crotch escalates lol.  And I also get random waves of period cramps and nausau ... so naturally I over-analyze everything.  I just want to get to my csection without a hitch.  Fingers crossed for you and me! haha

Ohhhhhh yeah...... I've heard about these.  I didn't get them with DS but I hear they get worse with each pregnancy... 

SomersIsles omg that sounds awful!!!! I would have freaked the f out!!!! And yes let's both make it to Tuesday! I'm totally overanalyzing every little sensation!

cmb, we're using Tommee Tippee and Avent bottles. I really wanted to use Playtex nursers like DD used but he does not like the nipples on them.

SomersIsles, we were able to go to lunch and go to Lowes for some yard stuff before DD got cranky and unpleasant. We went home and H stayed with the kids and I went to Target by myself (it was glorious). DD is almost 3 1/2 and has always been higher maintenance so it is not surprising that she's having issues adjusting to sharing the attention.

sleepymonkey cmb , what gas drops are you using? Violet has had two rough afternoons of fussiness, and I'm willing to try anything to give her some relief. Bicycle legs help a little, but I'd love to get ahead of the issue.
