lastkiss Today DS has napped for exactly 45 minute spurts (usually with a lot of intervention like rocking and shushing unless I lay with him). A baby's sleep cycle is about 45 to 50 minutes, so it's like he can't cycle through a second time to keep going. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank goodness my mom came by today. She rocked DS back to sleep when he would fuss during his nap, and she took care of the sink full of dirty dishes while I was feeding and laying with DS for his last nap 🙌🏻

Starts about 5 weeks past EDD I was just looking at this today. Bullet #3 about sleeping better when in close contact has been VERY true the last couple of days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Add me to the fussy baby group! DS would cry every time I set him down yesterday and he wanted to nurse every hour all evening. Today he's ok in his swing, but still fussy a lot.
I ended up going with the mini-pill today, but I may switch to the iud if I have trouble taking the pill at the same time of day. I was fine with BCP prebaby for 14 years but adding a tiny person to my routine my make it more difficult to remember.

txcatlady I took the mini pill very briefly after DS1 and I had an awful time remembering to take it. Definitely +1 to setting and alarm to take it. I have my PP visit in 2ish weeks and I'm undecided on BC options. We've always done well with condoms and period tracking in between kids, but I reeeeeally don't want a third for a long time so I think that may be too reckless. Somehow I don't think H will be cool with celibacy either lol!

I got pregnant with my 2nd on the minipill, you really have to take it perfectly. The great part is that we decided to try for another, and found out I was pregnant a few days later when morning sickness kicked in. All in all it was a welcomed fail, but this time I am going to have to try way harder! I need to get the Moby more, but if all else fails I will get a ring sling  I am happy to say after two night of my LO waking up a TON he was much better last night. 3-4 hours and didn't stay up forever.

Baby girl is a month old today. Not sure how that happened because it doesn't feel like it. Our trip to the movies yesterday was successful.
Baby girl gained weight and hope she continues to show weight gain at Tuesday's appointment. I have had hit or miss success without the nipple shield. Honestly, breastfeeding is becoming difficult the past few days as she screams and cries most of the time and won't latch. I'm trying hard not to give up, but it's tough because I hate seeing her so upset. Part of me wants to do a day or so of formula, so that I have enough to feed her breast milk from pumping each day. Also, feel like it will cut down on the time I'm spending feeding and pumping DD which I feel like will help curtail some of the boys attention seeking behaviors.

No, H, you changing diapers and feeding various kids is not "helping me out". They are your children too.
If looks could kill....

My MIL came over today to bring DH a Father's Day card. She signed it from DS and wrote a passive aggressive comment in the card that she bought it alone because we wouldn't let her take DS out alone. Really annoyed me that she did that Bc that's my job to get him a card from DS, plus she keeps asking when she can take DS on a road trip alone, not happening. Thankfully DH is on my side and responded to her most recent request that he can go on a road trip with her when DS can drive himself back home. I'm really happy that DS was fussy today and MIL only held him a few minutes while she was here. I promptly took back my baby when he started crying. She really annoyed me today and now I'm grumpy. I might go buy some wine...that should get me in a better mood.

txcatlady a road trip?! A passive aggressive Father's Day card?? What the heck?! Guys, I've done nothing for my H for Father's Day. I so wanted to do something special for his first Father's Day but I just don't have the energy to even think. He has been nothing short of amazing and I really want him to know that but I don't even have a card for him.

piratecat I've done nothing as well. I don't feel too bad because we really didn't do anything for Mother's Day either (DS was 1 week old at that time). My mom took his 10 year old daughter out to get a card for him, and she got one "from" DS as well and signed it for him. Yes, a 4th grader saved my ass on that one. I seriously considered trying to find a card or something on Amazon Prime lol. My hope is that he'll be able to rest and watch a lot of golf tomorrow as my gift to him.
