I'm at work today but I am one of the few here. We have tomorrow off so of course most people took today off. I only have 7 hours of PTO since coming back from maternity leave so I'm stuck working. It's kind of nice, though, because it's quiet. I am missing O's 2 month appt this morning, which I am sad about. I just hope MH remembers to ask the pedi about the few minor things that concern me. It often doesn't matter how many times I remind him, he still forgets.
pinkmickey24 amazon has fenugreek if that helps you! That's where I get mine.
sleepymonkey my H is the same way. I could give him a list and he'd still forget something.
Both kids slept the entire time I was getting ready this morning. That never happens. It was glorious. We're headed to the library this morning then our towns Fourth of July celebration after H gets home from work.
tortor4 I hope your little one is feeling better! Thanks, I will have to order from now on because if I still need it once I return to work it won't be as easy to get to the natural food store.
I went shopping yesterday to try to find some new shirts for work and had no luck. It appears that the current trend is boxy, shorter or hi-lo shirts which are cute on a lot of people but not me. Boxy looks terrible on people with a really large chest (makes me look bigger) and the shorter length in the front does nothing to cover my tummy which is my biggest problem area. Plus with my long torso, it's just not cute. I'm already missing my maternity clothes.
MH just texted me from the pedi. In the past month O has gained 2lbs 10oz and 2"! He's now up to 12lbs 10oz and 24" long. No wonder his 0-3 month stuff has suddenly gotten too small for him!
I have my six week OB checkup today. I know H is excited for me to get the ok to resume activities but he can shove it. After being touched out all day long the last thing I want is sex. Ho hum.
Both boys are sleeping right now and I don't really know what to do with myself!
lupincat, H and I have only dtd twice since I got the all clear. It's a little painful for me still and while I know that the pain gets better each time we do it, it still doesn't make me want to. Also after working all day and taking care of the kids in the evening, by the time they go to sleep, I just want to either veg on the couch or go to sleep myself. Not in the mood!
So the pedi told MH that we should try to phase out O's 4am feeding and do more cluster feeding in the evening. Currently he drinks 4.5oz every 3-4 hours during the day, has a 5oz bottle around 11pm then wakes up for another 4.5oz bottle around 4am and goes back to sleep until 8am. She says he should be able to go 7-8 hours MOTN without a bottle now. I'm not sure this will go over well with O.
He usually falls asleep for the night around 8:30 and then H gets him up at 11 for a bottle because that is the time that has worked out the best for him waking for a MOTN feed at a "reasonable" time. We don't want him up and hungry between 5:30 and 7am because that's when we're trying to get ready for work and then driving him to my parents' house to drop him off. We're hoping to be able to get him to settle in to a 7-7:30pm bedtime soon. I think DD started going to bed earlier around 3 months so I'm hoping we can do that with him as well. He's still not napping at anywhere near consistent times (or even amounts per day) but he's starting to be a lot more aware and interactive now and I know that's when DD's sleep because more consistent.
If love isn't helping your child to poop or fart, I don't know what is! 🤢
I used to have to help DD poop a lot. Oh the joys of having a chronically constipated child. But when it's your kid, you don't even think twice. That is love!
