I can't believe it's not even 8:30 yet! What a morning! First off...my Ben who usually sleeps til 8am was up at 6:30...throwing off my usually relaxed morning with Daniel. Then Daniel threw up his entire feeding. Then I spilled 6 oz of just expressed breast milk all over my glider. Fun, fun... Can I just start this day over again? Or better yet...can we just call it a day already and start all over tomorrow? Hoping everyone is having a better Wednesday than me! Cary
:hug99: It has to get better from there on out! The worst part of that IMHO is the spilled milk. I would cry.

You SO can cry over spilled milk when it is EBM. I guess think of it like my husband does ... (and is jealous of me for) ... 6 ounces at 20 calories an ounce ... that is 120 calories ... it is like you ran a mile and a half =) So at least it wasn't for nothing =) Just repeat after me ... "tomorrow is another day... "
QUOTE Then Daniel threw up his entire feeding. Then I spilled 6 oz of just expressed breast milk all over my glider. Oh no! I'd be ready to throw a tantrum over losing all that "liquid gold"! What a morning. I just hope the rest of the day gets better! :hug99:
Mine started out kind of crappy as well. Braxton greeted me by throwing up all over my shirt and the spot I was lying in. Then his coughing from the throw up woke Caleb in the other room making me "start" my day much earlier than anticipated. Now I'm handling an insurance claim (Caleb's PT slammed into our garage door) and have been on hold for 10 minutes. Fun stuff.
You poor thing! The spilled milk would put me over the edge. It must be the day, or something -- both of my babies were up half the night, for no conceivable reason -- I guess I can't complain, since it's the first bad night in three months, but dude. I'm so tired... Hope your day turns around significantly!
I smiled reading your post! Hee! My day started out like that, too. Not the spilled milk, but the alternating schedules, and fussiness, and getting up early from naptimes, etc. I feel like I'm finally starting my day, hours later. Hang in there!!
[SIZE=10pt]It must be the day ~ we've had a rough day so far too. DD was up most of the night..coughing, sneezing, runny nose. DS woke up early and was ready to play. DS napping now...DD army crawling around with the cutest sickie face there is. I would have definitely cried over that 'spilled milk' ~ unfortunately, been there done that <_< Hope your day has turned around April [/SIZE]
Well...my day really didn't get any better...I'm just glad that it's over and it's Thursday! I find when we start off bad, it just keeps on going that way. I was just "off" mostly due to stress. My Daniel has been struggling with reflux...not eating much, and vomiting up entire feeds at least once a day. It has really been stressing me out. We just switched to Prevacid and are still waiting to see some effects. The Dr. said it could take up to 2 weeks. But...on a good note...since I was so worried about him, I called the dr. who suggested brining him in for a weight check. I did and he gained 11 oz in 2 weeks. I couldn't believe it! Very thrilled. So although still worried about the reflux and sick of doing laundry, at least he's gaining weight. And actually the dr. said that he was "thriving". So good to hear. And, we've now switched him to Alimentum and it seems to be working OK. We'll see as the days go by. Cary
