So the hubby pissed me the hell off this evening (long story)

But its 1:06 am here and I should be sleeping since Jack is...but nooooooooooooooooooo i'm up polishing off this bottle of wine. I have to work tomorrow and I think its gonna be a long day.


becky468 - Thursday, 4 September
i'm so glad you can relate to me cause not many people can. Our move will be over Christmas too.

How about today or this morning baby Jack woke up around 6am with only letting me get 3 hours of sleep so I was sooooo tired that I fed him and then I put him in his crib so I can lay down for 15 minutes. Huh well I crashed and forgot about him I woke up an hour and half later and was in a panic because I forgot I put him in his crib. Went to his room and he was screaming his head off and was beat red. I felt terrible. I never meant and had no intentions of doing that its just that I crashed.

The pediatrician told me to put him in his crib for 15 minutes while I get some rest well yeah we see how that went.


becky468 - Wednesday, 3 September
Well my husband is going to recruiting duty. He got picked its one of those f*cked up things the Marines do because nobody wants that job...so he asked if he could recruit back in our home town of Pittsburgh and they said yes. Wait thats not set in stone he won't find out for sure where we'll go until he's two weeks into the school. Grrrrr so yeah everything is crazy.

I do hope for sure that we get Pittsburgh that way I could finish nursing school because my mother inlaw will watch baby Jack while I go. If we don't get Pittsburgh then i'll be a stay at home mom ALL day while my hubby works 12-15 hour days 6 days a week. Its totally sucky and he has this job for 3 years.

I hope the formula works too. Hes actually been pleasent today he sat in his swing for 40 minutes wide awake not fussing. It was amazing. I even go to take a shower "a quick one" but I showered. lol.


becky468 - Wednesday, 3 September
well they switched his formula....again to Alementum. They gave me samples so if it works then i'm gonna get a perscription and go to wic and get it changed.

She did say it sounds like colic and the only cure is to ride it out and it should go away in 3-6 months. Well my hubby is leaving in Oct for 7 weeks hes going across the country to San Diego. So im on my own and in that time have to pack and get ready to move.

Life is gonna be very challenging for me here in the near future. Too bad my 10 year old couldn't drop outta school and stay home and help me. lol.



becky468 - Monday, 1 September
Yes defintly take advantage of WIC. We have been on a super tight budget since I have been out of work and it sucks not being able to go out and buy the things I want and haveing to always right a store list and stick to it. I have learned to adapt.....

At leats you'll have Jermey home with yu to help with Rowyn (just looking at the bright side of things)


becky468 - Monday, 25 August
i'm alive. lol

Its going ok. Jack I think has colic. Seriosly. Hes got all the syptoms.

I'm getting about 2 hours of sleep a night except on weekends when my husband deals with him.


becky468 - Wednesday, 20 August
Hes sleeping better but he still has his nights, Last night he was ok but the night before I got 2 hours of sleep. *YUK*

Jack is on Soy formula that shit smells.


becky468 - Friday, 15 August
Ohh yes I have had one and I got buzzed off one beer. lol.

Baby Jack had to be switched to soy based formula.

Ohh and he weighs 9 pounds 2 oz as of today.

Doc said to put rice cereal in his bottle to keep him full longer cause he was eating 3oz every 2 hours or less. He wants me to hold him at 3 to 3 1/2 oz. He also said to give him sugar water in between feedings if he really wants food and is screaming his head off.

Have you ever heard of that??


dasha - Friday, 15 August
Thanks chica. It was totally crazy, but everything is great now....ah. the child cries, and the heifer must go running.....moooooooooo.....(everybody always said having a newbie was exhausting, but holy crap, I just wasn't ready!)..Have a lovely day!


becky468 - Tuesday, 12 August
I will try that floor in a diaper thing today and i'll let you know how it goes. He slept pretty good last night. He fell asleep aroungd 12:30 am and was just waking up every 2/ 2 1/2 hours for a bottle last night and then after eating his bottle he went back to sleep.

His cord just fell off yesterday. It was in his diaper. lol. I went to change hid pee pee diaper and saw it int here and was like wtf is this (I thought it was a turd lol)


becky468 - Tuesday, 12 August
when you say stimulate....like what should I do?? lol. He actually slep 3 hours straight last night. Boy was that nice. The hubby is going back to work Wednesday..Nooooooooooooooo!c


becky468 - Sunday, 10 August
I'm jelouse your baby loves to sleep at night. Mine sleeps all afternoon and evening. Grrrrrr. I'm miserable.....


becky468 - Friday, 8 August
OMG girl mym lil man hates to sleep. Myhusband goes back to work on Wednesday and I don't know what i'm gonna do. My hubby has been getting up with him at like 4am cause i'm up until then with him and then I go to sleep until around 8. So i'm working off of 4 hours.

Ohh and my lil man is a pig. He eats every 2 hours about 3-4 ounses at a time.

I'll write more later. Hes awake. Go figure.


becky468 - Tuesday, 5 August
Ohh wow thats great your inlaws took Elizabeth. That definitly gives you so extra time.

Ok so that makes me feel better that you put Rowyn in the bed with you too. I actually didn't last night and he was up..no kidding from 11pm to 5am. Yeah I was at my wits end and about to have a breakdown. I woke my hubby up at 3am to take him because I was so frikken exausted. He was up with him from 3-5. I had to wake up at 7:30 because I had a WIC appointment to get my formula this morning. So yeah i'm dragging ass today and my sis is comming dow and I have bottles to fill and laundry to do. UGHHHHH I'm so overwelmed. I'm glad he's here though.

So this morning when I woke up I went to the kitchen to get coffee and my husband started laughing at me and i'm like whats so funny. So he takes me over to the mirror and says look down and my whole shirt was drenched with milk. YUK! So when I went to get in the shower in took off my 3 sizes to small sports bra the like exploded and milk was pouring out.

So with my milk pouring out does that meen its goona keep making milk since some or I meen alot came out today or is this normal. I'm just asking cause you went through this les than 2 years ago. I just don't remember my milk staying this long with my daughter. Its been since Saturday whe it came in and i'm wondering how long it will take to dry up..or how long it took for yours to dry up?


agonzales - Tuesday, 5 August
I love your birth story and thought it was funny how you said you shouldve named the baby after the nurse lol. By the way congrats on your precious baby.


becky468 - Monday, 4 August
Ohh I understand about the holding think. Bbay Jack hates his crib and bassenet. I put him in bed with me last night(I know thats a bad thing), but he at least slept for 3 hours straight. He doesn't like his swing either he does like his bouncy seat.

So my Dolly Partons are so deformed looking. They have this crazy shape to them and I swear they weigh 10 pounds a paice right now. I'm so desperate that I had my hubby go out and by cabbage yesterday because I heard that it helps dry up the milk faster. I can say that my bleeding slowed a down a bit today. I can't wait to I can wear panty liners. lol. Thats sounds so bad. Ohh the joys of post partom. haha.

I bet you have your hands full with a 1 year old and a new born huh? Is your hubby off work for a few days? The Marines gave my husband 10 days off. THANK GOD! I have lots of family comming down from PA to visit all this month. Its like jeeze can ya'll wait till my milk drys up at least. My sis gets in town tomorrow at least she'll take the baby on enight for me so I can get at least 5 hours of sleep.


becky468 - Monday, 4 August
Ok...HOLY SHIT!! Sorry for the laguage, but your doc is an extreme ASSHOLE. Why on God green Earth would he make you go through labor that long? I meen obviously your baby was ready to come out if you only pushed 5 times. (by the way wow)
I hope if you plan on haveing anymore children you NEVER go back to him again because hes an idiot loser asshole. I feel terrible you had such a horrible birth experience.

My doctor broke my water at 4cm (I think or maybe 5) but yeah thats definitly what you needed because when mine was broke my labor progressed so much.

I have to agree about the staidal it does nothing. It just made me high (I was a lush and took 2 rounds) I'm surprised I remember my babys birth.

Well its over now and you and baby Rowyn are healthy and happy and thats all the really matters.


becky468 - Monday, 4 August
OMG 10 stitches??? No girl mine was only 3. I'm sorry you had got that many I bet your definitly feeling like poo then.

I can't believe Rowyn was over 8 pounds. That great. I love good size healthy babies. I actualyy thought Jackson would be bigger, but 7, 10 is good.

We took him to his well check today at the docs office and hes doing great. He's only 7 pounds 13 oz now. Doc said he lost weight the first day or two. I was wondering why because Jack eats like a pig. lol.

My lap top charger broke so i wasn't on last night. I have a computer upstairs in the office but I hate dragging the baby up here. The hubby is supposed to go out and buy a new one today because I told him I wanna get on the computer and chat with my other sleep deprived friends. lol.

Well i'm off to read your birth story and i'm sure i'll be commenting on it......ttyl

btw...don't you just love the new saggy belly??? hahaha Its such an awesome look on me.


becky468 - Monday, 4 August
Ohh i'm here and sleep deprived. lol.

So how are? I have been dying to read your birth story and haven't got around to doing it yet.

Hows little Rowyn doing? So how much did she end up weighing?

So I felt ok the first day or so after comming home ven after getting stitches and then this morning.....BAM...my milk came in and i'm so engorged. Put it this way Dolly Parton don't have shit on me. Ohh and when I went and changed my bra to put on a tighter sports bra my boobs smelled so bad like sour milk. YUK. Sorry to sound gross. And I have been haveing more blood clots. Jeeze!

I just wanted to jump on here real quick to see if you wrote but I'm gonna read you story probably in the middle of night when Jack decides to stay up from 2am to 5am. lol


kris10jd - Saturday, 2 August
OMG! your story was scary, you are an amazing mother for going through that! Good luck to you and your new baby :)


Judesmama - Saturday, 2 August
Hi! Congrats on your baby girl! I could not believe it when I saw the name Rowyn Avery in the birth stories! About a month ago I was chatting on here with some mama's and I mentioned that I adore the name Rowyn Avery...another mom wanted to snatch that name up, but already had a name picked for her little girl. I thought I came up with that name by myself! Anyway, it's such a great name...thought I would share that story! My baby is coming in about 3 1/2 weeks, she will be Olivia Paige. All the best to you and your little family!
