Dd wouldn't nap more than 30 mind all day and I should have just put her in the moby so shed sleep but I wanted to pump...next time though, moby for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1690176 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 04:16:07 +0000 Mae 1690176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: good job on your first day alone! I only managed to pump twice today for the same reason. But lo was happy being held, so sorta don't care ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1690164 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 03:39:06 +0000 nana87 1690164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm answering these about yesterday since it's only 4:30am now and nothing has happened yet today besides lo nursing!</p> <p>Win: dh, who usually works from home so is around, had jury duty today so it was the first day I was truly alone with lo, and we made it through unscathed!</p> <p>Fail: I'm "supposed" to be weaning off nipple shields but it was too overwhelming today. And lo didn't nap so I didn't get to pump as much as I "should" (trying to boost supply) since she wouldn't let me put her down</p> <p>Truth: I'm missing a conference this week that my grad school adviser organized in Paris and I know it would've been way to hard to go now but I'm still disappointed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1690161 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 03:24:35 +0000 ScarletBegonia 1690161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Win - made it to the pet store to buy litter and food for the cats (we were scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of what we were feeding them..surprised they didn't get sick!)</p> <p>Fail - my son had a massive poop-splosion on the way home from the pet store</p> <p>Truth - I watched 4 episodes of Dawsons Creek today while he napped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1690154 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 03:01:27 +0000 Arden 1690154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Win - I couldn't sleep so I was window shopping and realized the Tea Collection 50% off sale had started! I stacked that with a 30% off code I already had and ended up making out like a bandit. :D It was like Walmart prices, so I stocked up. Happy dance! </p> <p>Fail - Um, I'm still up at 4AM so tomorrow I'm going to be incredibly tired.</p> <p>Truth - I don't even care. I will drink coffee and dream of the enormous package of dirt cheap, adorable baby clothes on their way to me. Vi's going to freak! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1690124 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 00:45:36 +0000 Mae 1690124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: I'm so impressed! I have my first solo outings with lo tomorrow (just to ped then ob) and even that makes me nervous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1690003 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 21:19:58 +0000 skipra 1690003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Win - I managed a trip to the grocery store with both boys and no screaming. I learned from previous trips that the little guy does not want to shop in the infant carrier and it frees up the cart so I was able to actually shop for the week.</p> <p>Fail- I just about lost my mind with having two crabby boys all morning and not enough sleep last night. I really need to work on my patience.</p> <p>Truth-this morning was challenging and I didn't even shower until 8 pm. I actually went out in public that way. Gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689864 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 19:44:06 +0000 Anagram 1689864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Win--I finally figured out why my LO has been so miserable and with a fever all weekend (ear infection!)</p> <p>Fail--I gave my sick 11 month old a bite of diary/soy/gluten free cookie and she immediately threw up</p> <p>Truth--the throw up got all over me, and a little in my hair. But I'd just washed it, and I'm totally not washing it again before work tomorrow. Don't care at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689848 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 19:36:42 +0000 Mae 1689848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@X0X0X0: you kept your LO alive and kept the house from burning down. Good enough! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689715 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 18:21:34 +0000 X0X0X0 1689715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Win - I was able to get my 10 week old to nap in his crib</p> <p>Fail - I was expecting to use this time to cook some baked chicken, until I went through my pantry and realized I'm missing half the ingredients...ugh</p> <p>Truth - I haven't done anything else all day, so dinner would've been my first accomplishment of the day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689659 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 17:39:29 +0000 Mae 1689659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsrain: yay for us both surviving!! I don't feel quite the same about showers bc with my c section incision opening up I've had to scrub that daily in the shower so I've actually (had to) showered daily but it is sort of stressful because I have to rush it in before my husband leaves for work so he can dress the wound. But I think the first time I can take a later-in-the-day leisurely shower will be amazing! Also yay for her not screaming! I have a hard time putting LO down without her crying so I think that will be a challenge for me! haha</p> <p>Also what show? I watch netflix when I nurse usually so I am always looking for new stuff because I run through shows so fast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689652 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 17:32:31 +0000 mrsrain 1689652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Today was my first day at home alone with LO, too! Way more intimidating than I expected...</p> <p>Win - Put LO in her bed for a nap this morning after BFing, and even though she did not fall asleep she was calm enough that I was able to take a hot shower. It's AMAZING what a difference a hot shower makes in my day!</p> <p>Fail - I just could NOT get her to latch on at the breast this afternoon, even with the nipple shield (it kept coming off). I finally had to give her precious ounces of breastmilk that I was hoping to save for tonight's feedings. Oh well. :meh: </p> <p>Truth - I passed up the opportunity to take a nap because I was caught up in some bad mystery show on Netflix. I'll probably regret that later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689634 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 17:16:00 +0000 PixieStix 1689634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Win: Got the batteries changed in the rhyme &amp; discover book to show my LO for the first time!</p> <p>Fail: He cried when we showed it to him ... -.-</p> <p>Truth: Not sure what to put here since it seems like it's supposed to be related, but I have a feeling I'll hate that toy later. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689625 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 17:08:39 +0000 LovelyPlum 1689625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an update:</p> <p>Fail: I left the handle to my manual pump at home today, and I was bursting.</p> <p>Win: I was able to hand express 50 mL!</p> <p>Truth: It involved me hunched over the desk squeezing my boobs while at work. Good thing I have a door! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689621 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 17:06:52 +0000 LovelyPlum 1689621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: preach! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689519 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 16:12:17 +0000 lizzywiz 1689519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Win: put together a sweet father's day gift for DH- a photobook of just him and LO, set up to read like a children's book for him to read with LO.<br /> Fail: I followed that up with wasting 3 HOURS online.<br /> Truth: I'm still online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689517 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 16:11:49 +0000 Mae 1689517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: omg for real. i'm usually so paranoid about germs and whatnot. and in the last month i'm like ugh whatever. pee on me? Meh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689513 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 16:08:26 +0000 LovelyPlum 1689513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: @ellewoods84: I am soooo much less grossed out by pee and spit up than I used to be. I'll change her if it's a lot or if she's cold. Otherwise, well...</p> <p>And don't even get me started about the crap that's all over my sheets! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689503 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 16:05:40 +0000 LovelyPlum 1689503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Win: I made it through G's baptism weekend with ALL of our family here!</p> <p>Fail: I went to Target before work this afternoon and had to leave all my bags at the register, because my debit card was at home.</p> <p>Truth: I then came into work...where I promptly started eating candy and HBing. Hence why I'm still here, and it's already 5... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689449 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 15:41:50 +0000 jedeve 1689449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>W: I finally bought potting soil and reported some herbs and LO loved helping!</p> <p>F: I forgot about a dentist appointment until they called and was 20 min late. </p> <p>T: I'm so overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I have to do before baby gets here I don't do any of it. I need to finish his quilt and sweater, clean, pay bills and argue some insurance claims. But most days I don't get anything done besides regular household maintenance. And today that is looking like a stretch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689409 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 15:29:17 +0000 twodoghouse 1689409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I have such cabin fever that we have to get out occasionally! Also I constantly have someone here with me so that makes it easier! You'll get there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689322 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:57:49 +0000 Mae 1689322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: i'm so impressed by how much you get out and about! I haven't taken Fiona anywhere but the doctor, LC, or one quick trip to target (on our way home from the doctor lol) yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689308 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:51:16 +0000 twodoghouse 1689308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Woo hoo good work! </p> <p>Win: my mom and I just got back from grocery shopping with both babies. Slept the whole time!</p> <p>Fail: all of yesterday and overnight was a hot mess. Just a total disaster. Luckily we all napped from 7-9 am because there wasn't a lot of sleeping before that.</p> <p>Truth: I went to the store smelling like baby spit up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689300 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:48:20 +0000 MamaBehr 1689300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I've totally peed wearing babies before (my own, not others!)<br /> Win: it isn't chickenpox!<br /> Fail: probably should have called the pediatrician earlier about DS#1's rash/hive things<br /> Truth: I almost wish it had been chickenpox, then at least I would get what's going on with his skin! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689279 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:40:32 +0000 matador84 1689279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That cracks me up.</p> <p>Win: I'm working part time in June, and the kids are in daycare. I'm supposed to be doing projects around the house.</p> <p>Fail: I came home to do chores and...</p> <p>Truth: ended up watching like 3 episdoes of OITNB instead of doing ANYTHING productive today. And now I just want to take a nap, but I have to pick the kids up in 30 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689193 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:06:18 +0000 alohaorchid 1689193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are all work related.</p> <p>Win: I just got out of a meeting where a policy I've been working on just got approved. Employees are going to love this! I also just ate a really tasty pasta salad that I made yesterday</p> <p>Fail: back to back meetings all day, and that great policy I'm implementing I won't even get to use it because I'm a contractor</p> <p>Truth: I spent the first hour of a conference call this morning browsing the internet looking for clothes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1689098 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 13:22:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 1689098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: That's awesome. I definitely managed to pee with her in the Moby, no shame. And of course I didn't flush until she woke up! I would definitely not take a sleeping baby out over a little toilet water (or some breastmilk, @ellewoods84: ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1688983 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 12:15:49 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1688983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: woohoo!! that's awesome! I loved the moby for those same reasons- serious lifesaver until he learned to nap on his own. and yeah... totally have used the bathroom with it too. I hated the tails - so I'd tie it nice and short in the front or at my hip instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1688979 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 12:13:56 +0000 blackbird 1688979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahahahaha.....a little pee never hurt anyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winfailtruth#post-1688972 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 12:10:07 +0000 yellowbird 1688972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lolol!!!! I've definitely been there before!!!</p> <p>Win: I spent some time playing with my LO this morning and it was great!<br /> Fail: I was 3 minutes late to work<br /> Truth: I don't even care!! </p>
