Thanks guys! (and sorry fistful)

Evey Shea has a full head of long, dark hair and looks like a bundled up Eskimo baby. Big round face and cheeks like her Momma too.

Nice! She was born on my grandpa's birthday, who passed away when my mom was 21. Never got to meet him, but he was an amazing man. :heart

Shay was my brother's middle name, who passed away a few years ago. I have him to thank for helping to make me an atypical girl. :bow2

Post by: lennedsay on June 25, 2012, 10:54:36 AM
Thanks guys! She's doing so well and has blown her nurses away with some of the things she can already do. She's almost able to roll over already, which shouldn't happen for months. We're going to have our hands full :lol

My in laws have done the following since Thursday:

 - came up the first night after visiting hours were over and we had not gotten sleep in around 40 hours.

- they couldn't come up sooner because they "had company" - some friend who I've never heard them talk about but was more important than coming at an appropriate hour to meet their only grandchild

- They ran into my parents as they were leaving (since, you know, visiting hours were over), and my outspoken, amazing grandma asked why they were coming up so late. My MIL said, "Oh we know that grandparents have rights and can come to the hospital anytime they want, day or night." Not true at our hospital, and you have to sue for grandparental rights, which won't be awarded if the parents are still together or if the grandparents have no prior relationship with the baby. So no, this is a privilege, not a right.

- since it was after visiting hours, my nurse came in to check me, and needed to get some supplies, so I went to the bathroom while I was waiting. My mom called to let me know his parents were on their way up, so I told hubs that they needed to stay out until after the nurse got back and was done (5 min tops), because it's all pretty invasive. They came in anyway and put a bag of books on my bed while I was in the bathroom. So as I waddle back to the bed (one of the first times the nurses let me walk to the bathroom by myself), I have to pick up this heavy bag of books and move them. She wanted me to open them right then, and I can barely walk and can't sit down until the books move, and my nurse is standing there waiting on me. So I just pick up the bag, move it and say, "uh, thanks." and then the nurse makes them go behind a curtain and wait. But she wanted praise and wanted it then, so she's probably pissed about that. Sorry I need to sit down because I just birthed your grandchild in the middle of the night.

- the next day they came up to the hospital without calling, the only visitors that didn't call/text first, and I was trying to order and eat dinner so I could take my pain meds, which was pushed back

- I was getting ready to nurse the baby while I waited for my dinner to come, but couldn't because they came in. Kept saying I needed to feed her, and MIL even acknowledged they were going to get "kicked out" so I could nurse instead of actually stepping out voluntarily. 

- My FIL made several crude remarks about me breastfeeding (hence why I don't feel comfortable breastfeeding in front of them)

- my MIL asked the weirdest question that probably had underlying meaning, "Now what foods can't you eat while breastfeeding?" So I told her, "The same healthy, balanced diet I was on while pregnant. Some older women always try to say there are foods you need to avoid, but that isn't exactly true anymore unless there's an allergy." aka tell the old bitch at your work to stop giving advice on shit she doesn't know about. Sometimes her generation are still in the "formula is a miracle created by scientists!!" mentality.

- my nurse actually had to make them leave the room so I could feed her because the nurses were concerned about her health, and his parents were huffy

- the entire time I fed Evey, the woman kept knocking on the door asking if I was done yet. The dads here might be able to attest to how long the breastfeeding process can take in the beginning. I can't do it under a cover yet because I have to see how she's latching, it could take a minute or an hour to get a newborn to latch properly, then it takes longer to feed in those first few days because your milk isn't in yet, and she's just getting little drops of colostrum (the super healthy stuff that comes out slow). 

- when they came back in after we finished, they stayed another few minutes and said they were trying to leave but they couldn't get in to grab her purse because of the breastfeeding inconvenience (then knock on the door and ask your son to hand it to you? It's not that hard, and she wasn't shy about knocking.)

- room service delivered my dinner and she said it looked way better than the food they provided in her time. Just to get everyone up to speed, she never gave birth. My husband is adopted. She was never in the hospital eating bad food after birthing a child, so we're still not sure what she was talking about.

- she informed us they would see us this weekend at our home, and I flat out said we wouldn't be having visitors (see below for follow up)

- they didn't ask once to hold the baby that 2nd visit

- my bestie had shown up while they were out waiting, and MIL kept repeating that they were kicked out because I needed to breastfeed, not at all acknowledging that we were providing a huge benefit to her grandchild but that it was inconvenient. That's why you should've called first.

- she also told my bestie that my husband went "all crazy" and forgot to call them the day she was born, so they couldn't come up until late the night before. Except my husband did call them at 3:30 in the afternoon, 6 hours before they showed up, and they flat out told us and my parents they couldn't come up sooner because of their company. Plus how would they have known to come up if we hadn't called them? Chinese riddle for you

- since it was our fault they couldn't come up until late at night, it was also our fault that they hadn't eaten dinner before they came up and had to stop at Denny's on the way home and didn't get home until midnight. The night before we had to go to the hospital before we ate dinner, and didn't have a meal from 11:30am until 8am the next morning, and I pushed out a watermelon in that time, so I really didn't care.

- hubs called his parents the next day  after we left the hospital to make sure they weren't going to just "stop by" our house. (Since I told her we wouldn't be having guests, not sure why this is necessary but it was.) MIL was going to come out anyway against our wishes but my FIL told her we needed rest and talked her out of it. 

There's probably more but I forget now. She's a piece of work. :lol my poor husband is so used to it, but he's embarrassed and honestly wonders if she's getting Alzheimer's like her mom.

Meanwhile I have a snugly little girl curled up next to me. :heart

Bingo. Your granddaughter is sobbing hysterically because she's hungry and hospital staff has to tell you to GTFO so I can nurse her, and you raise your hand to ask if you can take a turn. :yuck

We did move away from them, from 5-10 minutes to 30-40 minutes. It didn't help. We would need to move to another continent without phones or email.

My dad is very laid back (read: likely high on pot), but he will dwell on things and let shit bother him. I'm the same way. We will let shit slide for the sake of keeping peace until we blow. He doesn't want my FIL around the baby because he's so disgusting. In this day, you say gross shit in front of a child and you might find yourself on a sex offenders list.

There are some general "probably shouldn't say that out loud bro" rules for conversation, even for family members. I'm sure in laws may comment on their son or daughter in law being handsome/pretty/attractive/etc all the time, but I'm pretty sure saying "can't wait to see you in a bikini LOL" crosses some line. Especially the the other father lol

Maybe if he made that type of joke in private to your husband, I could kind of understand it. Actually..nah

Reading all this makes me even more happy both sides of my family get along nearly perfectly. My dad kind of has a condescending attitude towards my mom's oldest brother but that's it

Dang you're right! I upgraded to Senior MILF in light of the situation.  :-*

Had another talk with my husband last night regarding his parents. We're both so emotionally done that we're giving up with them. If they make a complete 180, we'll reconsider. My parents just got into a huge argument with my dad's mom over shit that happened 20 years ago that they still haven't acknowledged or apologized for. Came to the awful realization that in another 20, 30, 40 years, we could be in the same situation as my parents if shit doesn't change.

Thanks for all the congrats, guys. :heart Little one is doing pretty good, but may have some blocked tear ducts. She's so pitiful with her gooey little eyes. Gotta go to the dr tomorrow... :(

Talked to the pediatrician's office about the crusty, gooey eyes. It's blocked tear ducts and really common. They told me over the phone how to massage the ducts open and warned I might see some increased goo after the massage. Oh man, after one eye, I wiped her eye with a cotton ball, and she opened her eye and this huge glob of eye snot was in there. It was incredible!

Yesterday my husband said she had a booger so big it clogged the snot bulb.

I think having pets is great practice for kids. When my dog shat all over her crate in a diarrhea explosion, I was surprisingly not mad at all. I just took her outside, cleaned her crate (and the walls) and then gave her a bath. I didn't mind it at all. Which utterly shocked me. I figured my aversion to anything disgusting (I am a germaphobe) would deter me but it hasn't yet, despite all the puke, pee, and poop I've had to clean since she became one of the fam. Nope.

Title: Re: Our own Lends finally passed down that crusty bun!
Post by: lennedsay on June 27, 2012, 09:02:02 PM
No, they love her! With three of them, they aren't the center of attention individually. They're a little pack, and they know she's part of our pack now. We prepped them quite a bit while I was pregnant and while I was still at the hospital, so when they finally saw her, they knew what she was and were all just excited. They had gotten pretty protective of me when I was pregnant, and they've actually chilled out a little now that she's here (probably due to sleep deprivation lol). While I was in the hospital, I gave a blanket that had been used for the baby to my parents or husband or whoever was going to feed and let the pups out. So when we got home with her, they knew her smell already.

We did have an issue initially with the newest dog being overly protective of the baby, and he would physically come between the other pups and the baby. But he saw they weren't going to hurt her and chilled out. They all worry about her now, trying to see her when she cries and fusses. We get these looks of panic saying, "Well, do something!!! Our baby is in need!!"

Relaxing on the couch now, all 6 of us. :heart

The next chapter of the Chronicals of Passive Aggressive In Laws...

His parents have not tried to see the baby since we were in the hospital, so hubs and I agreed to invite them out yesterday. He emailed her Friday with pictures and said we would have time in the afternoon to have them out if they wanted to see the baby. Saturday, his dad called and we asked if his mom got the email, and explained they could come out the next afternoon. Less than 5 minutes later, his mom calls, pretending to be oblivious to the conversation he had JUST had with his father. She got the pictures he sent, but was upset we weren't having them out to see the baby. Uhhh... Did you read the rest of that email? We invited you guys out. Plus we just talked to your husband and invited you guys out again. Then my husband said, "Did Dad not tell you he just spoke to me? You know what, this could help explain why we had to explain to our friends that we really did call you guys the day we had the baby. Because I talked to Dad that day after calling repeatedly, but you told all of our friends that we never called you guys and that's why you didn't come up until after visiting hours." She started fumbling and talking all nonsense and finally admitted that his dad didn't tell her until later (your first grandchild is born and you forget to tell your wife. Nice.) So he told his mom that his dad not telling her is not the same thing as us not calling, and it makes us look like the bad guys when we did everything possible to make them feel welcome at the hospital. 

She kept changing the subject when he would call her out, and she was getting little digs in where possible. She brought up my mom again and how my mom will never like her, where really its the opposite and my mom has tried to make her understand that her behavior is affecting her relationship with us and therefore will affect the baby. My mom has reached out to her and she ignored my mom completely. My husband said that with the baby here, there will be many changes, and she said, "Oh yea and I bet it's alllll on my part huh?!" and he replied, "Actually yes. You're pretty much the only problem." lol 

Then she brought up that damn SIDS cradle they had made for us. Did I even tell you guys about that yet? It's this huge cradle as big as our crib and the mattress doesn't even fit, so the baby could roll to the edges and get stuck in the 3 inch gap around the mattress where there's just bare wood. The mattress is this piece of soft foam and since it's an abnormal size, no crib sheets fit it. It's everything they teach you about what causes SIDS other than "back to sleep". There is nowhere it will even fit in our house - living room, our bedroom or her nursery. I can't lift anything heavier than the baby right now, so my mom and husband carried it to our basement and couldnt even lift the cradle onto the base because its so heavy and huge in size. She knew I was researching cribs like crazy, trying to find the safest one as soon as we found out I was pregnant, but still went to a friend to have him make this Paul Bunyan sized crib. Since it rocks, we can't use our baby monitor and movement sensor with it. Yes, we're extremely anal about safety, but we have health issues that run in the family and its just not worth risking our child's life. I swear she had the crib made knowing we couldn't use it, just so she could bitch about it. Plus it was a way to have everyone at my baby shower focus on her instead of me, the baby, and the many other gifts we received.

Anyway, she brought up that cradle again and asked us to take a picture of the baby in it before we "threw it away.... unless it's already in the trash." "Yea mom, we threw it away already." 

My husband was able to put her in her place multiple times during the convo, and it seemed to work eventually when she realized he wouldn't be putting up with her guilt trips and her struggle to be in the spotlight. She just needs to be in control and we've realized that if you give her any ounce of control, she goes crazy with it. She even offered to bring food for Sunday (actually the first time she offered to help in any way in months and months), but her idea of bringing dinner was picking up a bucket of fried chicken. My husband just said, "No, I've been cooking healthy meals for her, especially with her breastfeeding." He was afraid she'd show up with some food I couldn't even eat and he'd have to worry about getting me something to eat. They did that a few months ago - "we'll bring chicken!!" They brought hot wings from their favorite bar, knowing I have allergic reactions to spicy foods, and I was still in 1st trimester projectile vomit mode, so anything fried was inedible. Then my husband realized the wings came out of a freezer bag with a date written on it that was no where near the date they brought it over, like 3 months prior.

So fast forward... Baby starts having diarrhea, so I'm freaking out that she's going to get dehydrated and could be hospitalized or worse. She was happy, sleeping, eating, peeing - everything was normal except liquid poo, so we kept an eye on her to see if it was a one-time thing. Sunday morning it wasn't better, so I call the doctor's exchange. The pediatric nurse tells me the want the baby to be seen at the emergency room within the hour. So we spend most of the day there. They give her an IV and catheter, took tons of blood, etc. :( it was so sad but she did great. 

He calls his parents to let them know and postpone our plans. She's completely nonchalant about it, and just focused in the fact that her plans were ruined. "Oh that's fine..." Didn't offer any assistance, or to go check on the dogs. All of my family and our friends are offering so much help, and even though we haven't really taken up anybody on their offer, it's still been really nice. They are the only ones who have not offered help, other than the damn chicken.

We get home hours later and she calls as we're walking in the door. "Well we thought you would at least call us...." He almost loses it and explains we just got home and none of us have eaten or gotten any rest. Then she says, "So I guess we can't come out and see her today...." and he tells her, "Look, I'm not entertaining these constant guilt trips. My child is 10 days old and was just in the ER all day long. This isn't a personal attack on you. She is sick." wtfffff if someone tells you that your grandchild is in the ER, are you going to be pissed because your plans are ruined? 

"Well I hope you know how proud we are of you two and we think you're doing a great job."
"Mom, why would we know that when you guys question and disrespect everything we do or say?"

She's fucking crazy.

On a positive note, the baby's blood work came back fine, and she's plenty hydrated with no fever. So hopefully she'll just get over the 'rhea soon. It could've been a bug she picked up at the hospital when we sat with my dad during his heart tests, or it could've been her stomach getting used to the breastmilk, as it transitions to the "mature" stuff. She's still happy and bright eyed!

Ibogaine sounds like what they need. One feels immensely awful about everything bad they have ever done to themselves or others. 24 hours of pure hell if you've lived a shitty life pretty much. I relived every single terrible event in my whole fucking life. One cannot sleep, to sedate someone in that state would probably kill them or come really close. Xanax which usually will kill any psychedelic trip dead in it's tracks does nothing. I did it a few weeks ago, and became a completely different person because of it. I quit cocaine cold-turkey, forgave the three people on my kill-on-sight list, became alot less hateful and alienating in general.

I think everyone, especially those in great turmoil, seriously addicted to hard drugs, or are assholes should do it once. It WILL change you.

Little One is still not out of the woods, but we're starting to think it's not a virus or bacterial infection. I'm on a dairy ban (no cheese!) to see if this clears up her 'rhea. Still no fever though, lots of wet diapers so plenty hydrated, everything is good except for the stinky liquid poos. She kept me up all night long last night wanting to nurse, and I finally busted out the pump today when my parents came over to help. Now they can help feed her so that I could get some sleep without waking up every half hour to feed her. Just woke up from the longest uninterrupted amount of sleep I've gotten since my 2nd trimester - 4.5 hours!

My MIL actually left us a voicemail last night that wasn't hateful. She wanted to check on me and Emmie. We're trying to figure out who Emmie is, since her only granddaughter's name is Evey, but hey, it's progress. :lol

Back to the ER...  :( Nothing scarier than changing a newborn's diaper full of blood. Food allergy confirmed, likely cow's milk. It should clear up now that I'm off dairy, but we'll still see bloody diapers for awhile.

Thank god we never put her on formula, which is cow's milk-based. Little squirt can't even handle a bowl of Froot Loops in the morning!

Thanks guys :( you'd never even know she was having problems. She's such a sweet little baby. She's been a little fussy at night, but is fine as long as she can nurse for awhile. She's probably trying to soothe her little belly...

Makes sense too, because I basically went off all milk and ice cream when pregnant. I still ate cheese but the thought of milk/ice cream would make me feel like I would vomit. I finally got to the point where I could eat cereal with milk, but not until the 3rd trimester.

:gloomy My poor little girl...

The good thing is, a lot of kids grow out of that milk allergy.

We went to the doctor today and she we can start reintroducing her to dairy at 9 months and see how she does. Apparently I have super breast milk though, because despite everything, she still surpassed her birth weight (was 7lbs 13oz at birth, dropped to 7lbs 3oz before we left the hospital, up to 8lbs. now). The doctor was very impressed with my supply lol

Until 9 months (or until I stop nursing), no cheese... :gloomy

Let me give you a sample of what transpired...

MIL talking to my child: "You are such a cute baby, even if you weren't planned!"

Apparently stopping birth control for 3 years, buying a house 3 years ago big enough for kids in a great school district, and saving money/paying down debt isn't considered "planning" for kids. Not to mention that I spent the last 2.5 years at doctors and chiropractors getting my health concerns under control so I could physically handle pregnancy. Since I wasn't forcing my husband to have cold, mechanical sex with me on ovulation days and neglecting his yogurt slinger the rest of the month, my child was an accident.

This is the same type of shit my scumbag of a father would constantly try and pull. Every instance of doing something that would be classified as barely humane was endlessly mentioned at every opportunity. Reminds me of one tragecomedic instance where my idiot brother went to visit him a few years ago, walking away utterly impressed at my dad's "generosity":

"You (referring to me) kept saying that dad was a shitty guy, but when saw me being really hungry one day, he actually gave me a slice of pizza! When in fact he could have let me starve! What do you think about him NOW, bro? :smug"

So back in the 50s you were supposed to put babies on their stomachs to sleep. Then the SIDS scare hit. Since the 70s/80s they say to put babies on their backs until they learn to roll over, then they can sleep on their stomachs. SIDS has gone way down.

Kids just aren't used to it anymore, so they have to adjust.

Gave her a bath, put her in PJs and fed her one last time. Bedtime until 7 or 8am tomorrow. :rock

She's such a little shit! She's so sweet and sleepy during the day so that everybody thinks she's perfect. Then at night when it's just Momma, Daddy, and Evey, she just wants to eat for hours and be wide awake.

I thought she didn't like her bed that's in our room, so we got a little co-sleeper that fits between us. It's a metal frame with mesh on the sides and a little mat on the bottom. Then my mom got her a portable soother pillow that you squeeze and it vibrates so she thinks it's her bouncer. Then we have her fucking frog that sings lullabies. There's no room for us in the damn bed. Does any of that help her? Fuck no! She's still just wide awake for fun!

And all I want is a banana pudding shake from Chick-fil-A, but dairy... :fbm

That fucking frog has that too, but I'll give you one guess about how well it works.

She's just literally wide awake with no intention of sleeping, ever. If she's sleepy, the frog works as does swaddling/rocking. But shit! Girl is ready to party in the middle of the night!

We started putting the baby in her crib in her own damn room, which is directly across from our room, and she sleeps basically all night! She gets up once or twice to eat, but then back to bed immediately and asleep for another 3-4 hours. GLORIOUS! 


 :drudge MIL Update: My husband has finally realized that we're not fucking crazy and overly sensitive to these obnoxious little comments. He's been dealing with it his entire life, so he seriously thought all this was normal behavior. I think he brought the situation up to a few of our friends and to a few coworkers to get other guys' perspectives (instead of just us crazy wimmenz), and they all agreed it was complete bullshit (duh). His mom emailed us about wanting to come out and he emailed her back, calmly explaining that things need to change and that we're not going to allow her to say insensitive things, especially to our daughter.


GUESS WHAT HAPPENED?! We're mean and we don't like her and we are just pushing her away and we only like his dad and she has to watch everything she says because blah blah blah. Never once acknowledged that she lied and said our child was unplanned, never once apologized for her behavior, never acknowledged that she is in full control of changing this situation. It's all about her, and she's the victim yet again. PITY PARTY, TABLE FOR ONE.


He emailed her back and reiterated some of the hurtful shit she's done recently, and that she responded exactly how he expected her to.


She's never going to understand, but hey, her loss. She's pushing away her only child and grandchild. We still have a big family on my side and a huge group of friends. They literally have no family in the state except us. Sucks for them if they don't take the initiative to correct this.

Oh man, I went through the same thing with my ex-FIL.  He never thought that anything he said was wrong and acted hostile towards me (and Amber) anytime we ever said anything to him about it. 

Trust me, their loss, not yours or your family's.  I'd rather my kid grow up knowing awesome family who loves him instead of some who do and some who could give a shit.

Good lord, yea your FIL was a real gem. I remember you talking about him...

So far, we haven't heard from his parents. She replied as the victim to my husband's initial email, and he responded back, but she never replied or called since. And his dad hasn't called or anything either, so I guess they're totally fine with not seeing the baby. My dad's been saying all along that she probably just isn't interested in being in the baby's life, so she's purposefully pushing us away. Eh, we're still in contact with my husband's family from out of town (aunts, uncles, cousins), and they're all amazing people. My family is still around constantly. The baby will definitely not have a lack of supportive, loving family.

Kids sleeping in their own room is an awesome thing. Addie sleeps 10-11 hours straight through the night. :rock

Addie is now rolling over and we started rice cereal. Crazy how fast they grow up.

God they do grow up so fast. It seems like yesterday your wifey was still preggers, getting hit by cars. Every time I crossed a street or parking lot while pregnant, I gave any approaching drivers a look that could penetrate their soul.

Evey will be 4 weeks in two hours! :D She's been a little fussy the last few nights, but nothing like before. I ate Nutella twice in the last few days, so I'm going to try to go off all foods containing dairy, not just basic dairy products. Her little tummy just can't take it. :(

My husband's in charge of tactics for dating-age. So far it involves machetes, animal carcasses, and a kill room reminiscent of Dexter's set ups.

I ate Nutella and she slept all crappy for a few nights, but she was better last night. Eats around 9, naps until we're ready for bed around 11, eats, diapy change, swaddle and 5 min of fussing. Woke up around 3 to eat, got full, changed diapy, passed out. Same story at 7:30-8.

Stevie B - does he nurse or eat formula? Is he fussy during the day? Could it be gassiness from something in his diet? Evey is a nightmare when she gets gassy and can't burp. Since I nurse her, there are many more variables, but I've been keeping track of my food and can immediately tell what I ate that she doesn't like. On those days, she's really good during the day and sleeps (probably from exhaustion), but is miserable at night. Also, the cluster feedings...  :-\

Wyatt is breast fed still. Really, all we're dealing with is a combination of many things. For one, he's teething. Two, he's overcoming an ear infection (he seems to have a problem, here. During a previous visit we were told that his ears were irritated but not infected). And three, we were never adamant about sticking with the crib come hell or high water.

When he initially transitioned out of the bassinet, he was actually very good. This was at about the 3-4 month mark, and lasted about a month. He was like how you described.

However, somewhere around the 5 month mark, things got bad. He became much more difficult to get into the crib (i.e. would wake up when you moved him to there from the swing, for instance) and stay asleep. And even when you did, whereas before he'd be out for a good 3 hours give or take, he was suddenly only lasting an hour at a time tops.

That's when we pretty much just started letting him sleep in bed with us. And that's where we've been ever since. He'll sleep through the night for the most part, but he squirms more than he used to, gets uncomfortable, and requires nursing sometimes as frequently as every hour. Is it diet? Is it teething? Pain in his ear? The acid reflux the doctor also suspects he has?

We don't know. All I know is that the dream of him sleeping in his own room peacefully just seems so far off.

We're hardcore crib people. Addie slept in a pack and play in our room for the first 8 weeks, but then it was off to her room and the crib. She also takes 2 hour afternoon nap in her crib everyday, which probably helps. The thing we do is she is NEVER asleep before getting to the crib. She can be sleepy, and we'll bounce/rock her in our arms, but she always goes down and falls asleep in her crib. And, once she is in her crib, no matter fussy Addie gets, we don't pick her back up. We'll put our hand on her and rock her up and down or side to side until she calms down, but she doesn't get picked up until nap time is over.

Have you tried a bedtime routine? Around 7pm we give her a bath, put her in her PJs and then Em feeds her. We also have a fan going in her room and music playing to help calm her down. She's typically asleep between 7:45 and 8:15.

We have tried. I wouldn't say that we've come up with anything concrete, but there have been attempts at establishing a schedule. However, neither my wife nor myself are necessarily the most organized, disciplined people. So, we quickly default to "what works." And unfortunately, only two things have proven to be effective at getting him to sleep. One is his swing which he is quickly outgrowing. The other is nursing.

Despite numerous attempts, he has never actually fallen asleep in his crib. And now that he's crawling and attempting to walk, putting him in his crib when he's awake invariably just leads to him immediately standing up against the rails and showing no signs of fatigue or weariness. Often, even when he's asleep, it's just like some reflex he has that as soon as his back hits the crib, he flips over to his stomach and sits up.

God damn that's my fear...

I can tell Evey's tummy is upset when she wants to keep nursing to console herself. Even when my milk was hurting her, she just kept wanting to nurse to try and soothe her belly. I've basically had to give up any dairy and anything that is acidic or spicy at all - salsa, red sauce, etc. AKA the most bland diet ever. It would've been easier to switch her to hypoallergenic formula, but I'm willing to change my diet to see if it helps, and it has. If the diet gets too hard or complicated, then milk-free formula it is.

Has the wifey changed her diet? It takes a few days or even longer to tell a difference, but if it's a tummy problem, it might be worth it to try (or try hypo formula if she doesn't want to change her diet).

As far as the sleeping situation... I have no advice or knowledge bud. I know they say kids love order and predictability, so whatever you guys decide to do, stick with it for a week at least.

Trust me, I know the feel of "whatever works." I hate hearing her cry and I will give in and give her a paci, but my husband is the voice of reason and refuses to let me do it two days in a row. (She can't keep the paci in her mouth so I'm inevitably signing up to wake up every 10 minutes to put the paci back in her mouth.) One of you guys have to be the hard ass and keep up with the routine. Sometimes that's me, and sometimes it's my husband, but at all times someone is taking on that role.

I don't think there's been any radical shift in diet. So, I don't know. He's got plenty of things that could be the culprit, but it's hard to narrow down. Like I said, right now there's definitely two big things that could easily contribute to his misery: an ear infection (he's about halfway through this round of antibiotics), and a bunch of teeth coming in. It's hard to distinguish because, for the most part, he's pretty happy when he's awake and rested. It's only when he gets tired and doesn't want to go to sleep, or is sleeping that he becomes a miserable handful.

But, if it were stomach problems, it seems like he should show some symptoms when awake? But, I obviously don't know. I'm no doctor.

Yea, he'd probably be fussy. If he's happy, then that's probably not it... I'm out of advice. I just changed my first diaper 4 weeks ago, so I'm worthless.

Our friend just came over with his 1 year old and I'm thinking about checking out the return policy on this baby before she gets mobile.

It could very well be. We don't know, which is frustrating. There's not any real indication to go off of. Like, the other night, he just started crying in his sleep at 2 in the morning, sat up, and just seemed kind of miserable. After about 20 minutes of just praying that he would calm down and go back to sleep, I just got up and plopped him down on the living room floor. And that son of a bitch was just happy as a clam crawling around.

So, what's our takeaway? Two ideas for ailments could be his reflux (i.e. sitting up presents less of a problem for stomach acid getting into the esophagus), or it could have been his ears (he's now not laying on them and causing pain). Or, it could just be that he was tired. Either way, he didn't go back to bed until 4:30, and the swing was required at that.

Babies fucking suck sometimes.

Edit: And though he's not walking yet, honestly, I don't think his crawling really presents that much of a problem. I mean, baby-proofing can be annoying if you don't keep a really clean and organized house, but overall there's not that much trouble he can get into. However, I might be underestimating things because I'm constantly finding that -- as he gets taller -- I can't take for granted that just throwing shit out top of tables and what not means that it's safely out of reach.

Thonce uh The worst thing about having kids is everything and also kid's birthday parties and it's fine when you don't have kids because you don't have to go to them. You have one kid and it's going to get invited to many parties each year. Perhaps as many as twenty. Two kids and pretty much you're going to parties every single day.

"You wanna go, to the party? Kid's a bit of a jerk, no?" I asked Jacob but he was adamant he wanted to go to the party. Yay, I get to stand with a bunch of people I don't know while you get to play in the play area. Awesome. Sucks being me.

So we went to Waitrose to get a card and a present. The kid, my kid is very indecisive so it took 20 minutes choosing a card and even then he picked one of those ones of people in black and white days with a bunch of shit written on them, Wholly inappropriate but he chose it. Then the toy was another 20 minutes. "What does he like?" I asked Jacob but Jacob didn't know. He was just looking for toys for him. "We don't have to go," I assured him but no, he wanted to go. We picked something for £12 which seemed like the correct value of present to buy. We're running late by this stage luckily I've only got a basket. So I go to the basket only checkout as any normal person would as there's a massive sign saying 'baskets only'.

Some woman. Some aged woman has somehow got a trolley's worth of shopping into a basket. I'm saddened but not surprised. She is in front of us. When she puts it down the cashier struggles to remove anything and scan it without the whole tower of shopping in the basket collapsing. I mean things are falling on the floor. The cashier looked at me, and I rolled my eyes to show camaraderie with my fellow shop assistant.  Her face remained expressionless because the people who work in Waitrose think they're oh so special. Why look at me then? Bitch. Anyway, the woman with the massive pile of shopping in her basket - shopping that is falling on the floor because there's so much of it - looks at me. I smile because getting all bent out of shape will do no good. She returns my smile but she doesn't seem ashamed like she should be. Odd.

She then walks past me back onto the shop floor while the cashier struggles with her shopping. Luckily the cashier is bagging it for her or we'd have been there forever. I watch the woman go, she doesn't go far, just to the end of the aisle two away from us and she picks up four big multipacks of McCoys. I looked down at Jacob and realised I was squeezing his hand tight. He thought I was joking until he saw my face. I continued to look at Jacob. He looked at me. The woman returned with her crisps. We had to step back to let her past. Jacob saw something in my face and said,"no Daddy, don't."

I took a deep breath and looked at Jacob for as long as I could, it wasn't long. I turned to the woman who was piling the crisps onto her basket which the cashier still hadn't got to the bottom of. "I'm sorry that's just... that's... that's taking the piss. That's taking the piss. The fucking piss. Jesus." I said. my voice was level and calm. I wasn't saying it to her, just talking out loud. The woman looked at me gormlessly. "How's that a basket?" I asked her. The woman smiled nervously. The cashier looked at me. "And you can't go off and get more stuff, not when your basket's down. Not when there's a queue behind you." There wasn't a queue behind her, only me. The shop wasn't even busy and I'd have been quicker using a normal till, that was the worst bit but I'd sort of wanted to let this woman know she was in the wrong. The woman didn't respond. I was angry, for sure. but something told me she might have a massive son around the corner or something so I literally bit my tongue and squeezed Jacob's hand. The woman paid and picked up her four massive shopping bags and because she was a wretched cunt she turned to me before leaving so she could have the last word.


"I don't appreciate being spoken to like that," she proclaimed like she was the Queen.


"And I don't appreciate..." I didn't have anything. "You... cunt."


"Pardon me?" She asked visibly shaken.


"Get batteries for your hearing aid, Grandma," I told her. I shouldn't have swore. She fumbled for her ears and then scuttled off. I shouldn't have mentioned hearing aids. I didn't know she had one. I hoped she wouldn't have a heart attack and die on the way to her car.


While paying for my two items I again rolled my eyes at the cashier but she just looked at me with her dead Waitrose shark eyes. After paying we loitered for a couple of minutes at the top of the moving walkway to give the woman time to drive off and then we went to Pirate Pete's. Jacob took his shoes off and went into the play area leaving me sitting in the cafe bit with people I didn't know or want to know. I looked up to see the woman carrying the crisps. I took out my phone and pretended to be reading something on it even though I didn't have a data connection. I stared at the phone without looking up for two hours.
