DD was up at 3:45 & 5. I just got her back down. She just sat in my bed and yelled.
I think I need to pick up some formula to supplement with- she seems hungrier lately & I'm not sure my bewbs can keep up with her. I've started working out a lot more & I think it's effecting my supply.
The problem is that she won't drink out of a bottle.. Formula from a sippy? Mmmm, sounds delightful. I'll try.
What kind of formula should I get? I think she has outgrown her milk/beef intolerance (I've been having dairy and a few hamburgers & she's been fine).
Could you try more solids? Around this age DD started to prefer food to BF or bottles. If not, maybe soy? DD is mspi and I can eat dairy and soy, but she can't tolerate it directly yet.
She eats 3ish meals a day. But I do need to make more of an effort with lunch. I just don't really know what to feed her. I eat random stuff for lunch, like yogurt or a sandwich, or leftovers. We don't do purees, but I guess I could for lunch. I need someone to make a meal plan for infants.
We are taking M ToTing tonight. He is 12 weeks, so LOL. We weren't going to do it, but some friends invited us to go with them and their two and four year old boys. H thinks it's embarrassing that we're taking our baby ToTing, but I just see it as going for a walk with our friends and showing off our adorable baby!

My child was up by 5:50am, dressed and with his Halloween costume on, all ready for school. No big deal because I was already awake, but damn, he is going to be exhausted tonight.
Now, determining this still cost me the $80 service call fee plus whatever the sprinkler system guy charges (the leak is coming from the sprinkler meter in the laundry room. But since I shut off the water supply to said sprinker meter, the leak has stopped. Aaaaand I cancelled my 10am, 11am, and 1130 am patients since the repair guy gave me a window of 1030am-12pm, so I'm not expected back to work for another hour. Upon which starts lunchtime. SQUEE!
It would be awesome if getting my right side mirror reattached to my car was just as easy but somehow I doubt it.
Our new couch came today! Hooray for adult furniture. DH moved the old college futon to his office as a guest bed. We bought a new cover to spruce it up a bit. The new house is really coming together!
I'm feeling really guilty for not bringing the babies halloween costumes to daycare today. I was worried they'd get dirty before we wear them tonight. But the daycare teachers seemed sad. .
There is someone on my FB feed who is just flying her nutter flag left and right. I'm not sure how widespread the story is, but a two state troopers were ambushed outside their barracks about an hour north of us a month or so ago and there has been a giant manhunt for the shooter ever since. He was taken into custody yesterday. Nutter is now proclaiming with CAPITAL LETTERS and !!!!!!! and lots of ellipses that the entire story is fabricated, there never was a shooting, and the whole thing was just a cover to detract attention from President Obama over the past month.
Go home.
my parents are an hour-ish northwest and yeah... I've seen some interesting stuff roll across my newsfeed from friends back home. mostly just that they think he was captured sooner and the police were just waiting for the right opportunity to say "got 'em!" meanwhile wasting tons of resources on the manhunt. mmmmkay.
slightly ironically, a similar situation happened a few miles from my parents about ~12 years ago (two officers killed, suspect fled into the woods for a few days). no one thought the police we're wasting resources then when it was our barns and basements being searched before we could go home.
lol. we need to work on our range over here or something. Don't forget ieatgoldfish and noscreentimeforu
I am so glad there is only one person in the office today and she is on the other side of the floor, because I am legit LOLing at crying real tears over grandmagooglesstuff.
I'm home with the kids today. I've been forced to lurk ML because this board is all over the FF thing again and I can. not. even. And then it's Halloween on CEP, which is sort of entertaining but mostly just silly. ML's dramaz wins today.
DD2 had her 15 month well check today and had to have blood drawn, again. Her lead levels were slightly elevated the last time they drew blood but still well within the normal range, so they wanted to retest. Besides making me a nervous wreck, blood draws have been incredibly traumatic for her. For the second time, the phlebotomist could not get blood from the first arm and had to try on her other arm. It's horrifying. I'm grateful we don't have to do this more often, because she flips out and it's all I can do to try to keep her from flailing and I'm also a wreck each time because it's been so bad. Both times, the phlebotomist has also seemed really shaken up by the experience, so it's not just me. I just feel so bad for my baby
Also, I'm irritated because I work part time, until 1. I was suposed to have a call with my boss today at noon because we haven't really talked in a week and she's on vacation next week. Of course, she just cancelled and asked to reschedule it for 2 o'clock. I'll make it work because I have to, but I was hoping to just do Halloween things with DD1 after I picked her up at 1--not wait around to talk to my boss.l
The company I work for is trying to be super festive - a costume parade (for adults), pumpkin decorating (also for adults) and pigging out on candy in the cafeteria.
Which is nice and all. But we're a finance building. During month end. So... It's just a bunch of HR people coordinating things, but nobody can attend. Hey, if you wanted us to be festive today, extend deadlines.
I just freaked myself out because I can't do math. lol. I had the first part of my pre-natal screening done yesterday and rather than just print me a picture, they gave me the whole disk…this meant I could see the measurements. Well I miscalculated a conversion in my head (which I caught about 10 minutes later when I actually used a calculator), which caused me a bit of a freak out. Phew. THIS IS WHY MATH MATTERS. Lol.

I just made an appt to get this iud out. We aren't TTC, but I can't take the IUD anymore. I've posted about it previously.. I tried to wait it out a little longer, but I'm just done.
