Tuesday MOTN

[mellymel]

OMG. DD just whacked me in the face with her glass bottle (yes, she's 16 months and still takes a nighttime bottle, don't judge me right now). It hurt so bad and I probably will have a black eye. I yelled so loudly at her that I scared the crap out of her. She didn't mean it, she was just playing around, but it hurt like hell. She still won't fall asleep. Ugh. This is gonna be a long night.

[Brie]

Finally home from urgent care and I'm eating dinner. So tired. Someone have a glass of wine for me.

[Yankees21]

I should clean our disaster of a kitchen, but I have a headache and Home Alone 2 is on TV, so nope.

Ouch mellymel, sorry.

[rugbywife]

I decided to try to put DD down at 7pm instead of 7:30. She cried for maybe 3 minutes total - I did one check.

HOWEVER…whoever said naps would be a biatch was RIGHT. DH says it is brutal.

[sjh722]

I am still sick (hello, 12 weeks, did you not get the memo?) and spent the better part of my day trying to get my diclegis prescription covered.

BCBS would not take the $30 discount card. 1 pharmacy and 3 phone calls later, they say it's not on their "preferred list". But the preferred list is apparently secret, because she put me on hold 3 times to ask a pharmacist what they would cover. Then her best answer was to call my doctor. "So, you are suggesting I request something else, have it sent to the pharmacy and processed, then see how much it costs? And do this over and over again until I find a prescription that is not several hundred dollars for less than a month?" Yes.

My OB's office said there were samples for me at the front desk. 3 f'ing days worth.

Then Costco said, "Oh, if they are covering any of it, the discount card will work. Transfer it here." Super. Did all that. Nope, still $$$$.

I am so mad and ready to start throwing things. I don't even feel that great, it's just keeping me from feeling even worse. Tomorrow's plan is to bypass the front desk and go directly to my midwife's nurse and beg for a large bottle of samples. If that fails, we start playing prescription roulette and they are going to get tired of me calling back asking for something else because the first thing was $400.

ETA: to add insult to injury, it was only $30 (per discount card) the first time I filled it at CVS. BCBS tried to tell me that CVS must have had Diclegis "on special" that week. Uh-huh. I am SURE that was the case. 

[Saudade]

I am *thisclose* to throwing in the BFing towel. I cannot figure out what causes DS2 so much pain but it's awful. It's not worth it at this point because I'm surviving on water. He screams bloody murder for 30-60 minutes each night because he is in so much pain and nothing calms him. Sucks.

Also. DS1 has been getting up anywhere from 3-5am since late last week. Shut it down. I bought a ok to wake clock and it'll be here tomorrow. I really really hope it works. I'm so fucking tired.

[laurenh]

DD seems to have quit the crib maybe? She slept on her travel cot for 4 nights while we were on vacation and now the past two nights she has woken up within an hour of going down and will only settle on the cot. Maybe this will make her bed transition better?

I'm sorry Mel.

Brie, urgent care?

40 minutes and counting for bedtime.

See earlier thread. Bad bite at daycare that broke the skin. He's fine but pedi wanted it checked out.

I've got you covered.

[heygrey]

i feel like we have 4-5 great days with bedtimes (<5 fussing) and then one night where he cries for 45-60 minutes. is this was life is like post-CIO? will he eventually get over that odd night?

i'm debating a second beer. and something to snack on, but i can't decide what sounds good. maybe stovetop popcorn?

[hermione]

Tonight I caught C with her leg on the rail of the crib. My 17 month old cannot climb out of the crib - it's totally not allowed. DH and I have spent the last hour devising plans to thwart her efforts if this continues. I guess we'll be purchasing a sleepsack this week.

[catsarecute]

I'm getting a tattoo next Friday and I have no idea where I should get it. Seriously problem, obviously.

[rbp]

First wake up before midnight. This doesn't bode well. I sincerely hope this is the 6w growth spurt!

I offered to sleep on the futon in the nursery now that my mom is gone so that H can sleep better. This is way less comfortable than our bed. (wilted)

[smm5623]

Still no poop. 9 days and counting. He doesn't seem uncomfortable however he does have gas that would put frat boys to shame. Oh and he's refusing to sleep. Newborns are tough!

[sent]

Woke up at 8 am, didn't go to sleep until 9:40 pm. 3 lame naps. I wasn't even with her most of the day and the 2 hours I spent with her involving bedtime were exhausting to me. But a smiley baby throughout and only got mad when I tried to make her take the bottle thinking this was her "sleeping cue" and it was now time for her to finish the bottle and go to bad.

And to top it off, we now have 2 MOTNs lately where bottles are guzzled.  My guess is because she isn't taking in more in the daytime.

I may start a thread soon looking for ideas on "How to wear out a 9 month old and feed her more in the daytime."

My son went 12 days total at three months. He was fine, but be warned, when it started coming, it all started coming!

[teatimefor2]

I'm exhausted and have pregnancy insomnia. Plus this baby is kicking a ton. I just want to sleep. It was easier then H was a newborn.

[bowies]

H: You're the best mother in the whole wide world.
Me: Ha! Not even close.
H: This means I'm the best motherfucker in the whole wide world.

Another typical night at Casa Bowies.

[biogirl21]

J just started screaming for seemingly no reason. H and I are having a conversation over the monitor, lol.

[waterchurch]

I just started crying because DS hit me in the face and laughed. It did hurt, but he just liked the reaction. He wasn't trying to be mean. I just started leaking tears before I could help it. Damn hormones.

It's been a weird day. DH's office was closed until lunch time because the a/c was out (it was like 105 today), only to have him sent home again at 4. Then DS had swim lessons, except I spaced out on what time lessons started. I had 5pm in my head as the time we had to leave, only to get halfway there and realize lessons started at 5. Derp.

[Blue Moon]

I left a bottle (3 oz) of pumped milk for H to feed DD sometime between 930 when I went to bed and 1230 when she woke up crying. When I came in to get her, the mostly full bottle was sitting on her dresser. She usually takes 3 oz from H no problem, so I'm sad to have wasted all that breast milk now.

[pinotgrig]

I woke up about 10 minutes and grabbed the monitor before going to pump. G was working on rolling over! I watched him for a few minutes but he was starting to get frustrated, so I went to his room. By the time I got there, he was on his belly! And not happy about it, lol.

M went five days without pooping then pooped three times yesterday. Including one poopsplosion while SIL was watching him.

[rbp]

Phew. Made it almost to 4 am for wake up #2. Thank you, baby!

[bowies]

DS has decided that 2.5 months is a perfect time to have a sleep regression.

Does this mean he's advanced?
