Knox wanted a PBJ yesterday so I helped him get everything out and then must have walked off to do something for the baby because I remember he finished making it himself. I went to get the PB out of the pantry today to make oatmeal balls and could not find it so I asked him about it and he was like oops I think I threw it away when I was done. There was like half a jar left 😅 sir, do you even know how expensive groceries are?!

Mostly just bummed because I wanted oatmeal balls.

The baby let me put her down long enough to make my lunch, get dinner in the crock pot and clean up the kitchen. I'll call that a win.

We are hunkered down for a cuddle nap now and I can physically feel my blood pressure dropping with her on my chest. We are gonna be okay. 💕

Nope. Just all around nope. I'm over this day and it's only 10:15 AM 😩

#we had such a good thing going with one kid #I am reallllly wondering why I wanted to start over #love her dearly!#do not get me wrong #but mama is tired #and overstimulated

It's me and my Notes app with the bullet points that can be checked off against the world.

I am so stinkin proud of my girl! She is doing so much better in the car. She made it close to 25 mins today before she started fussing and we only had like 2 more mins of the drive at that point. It was so nice!! I'm glad I did not spend a ton of money on things to make it better or rush out and buy a new car seat because it seems like she just needed time. We got Knox's school supply shopping done which feels good. I just need to get him a new backpack and order a school supply box because we didn't like any of the options at Wal Mart.

Going to do my daily house reset and then hunker down for a contact nap!

I knew better than to stay up for an hour after Lainey went to bed but I did it anyway and now I have regrets 🥱 I can't wait until she's ready for an earlier bedtime and I can have some of my evening/night back.

We had a successful morning out of the house! We met up with my SIL at a park/splash pad so Knox got to burn some energy playing. I wore Lainey girl and she snoozed the whole time. The Momcozy baby carrier is one of the best baby purchases I've made. We made plans to meet up again on Friday. It helps my mental health so much to get out of the house and each outing we have without a baby meltdown I get a little more confident about taking her places.

We are home now and after I get everyone fed I'm hoping the babe will "play" independently on her piano mat for a little bit so I can get the house picked up.

I had the most insane dream I've probably ever had in my life. Like I am so mind fucked this morning lol not sure what part of my subconscious brain was unlocked but yikes/wow. 😅

I'm actually sick over the fact that it's already August. This is my last full month of maternity leave 😭 I go back 6 weeks from tomorrow. Knox starts school in about 3 weeks. A second grader!! Time needs to slow down.

Lainey's first stretch of night sleep has been ~2 hours shorter all week and I'm getting so frustrated 😩 we aren't doing anything differently. I've already put in my time with a baby who does not sleep and now I've had a taste of one who does and I cannot go back.

The boys are off so here goes nothin!

I need to get to the grocery store at some point today and I'd really like to clean the master bath. Other than that it's just snuggles and chillin with my girl. My goal for tomorrow is to make it to Target. We might stop by my SILs if baby boss is cooperating.

Hilarious how small your goals have to be when you have a newborn 😂 when it was just the three of us I'd clean the whole house and run a full day of errands and not think twice about it. Now I'm like if we can make it to one singular store when we have literally nothing else to do, that will be a win.

Apparently Lainey's vaccines contained a fat dose of anti nap. She has fought every single one for the last two days and Mama is starting to lose it 😵‍💫 The guys are going out of town this weekend for a wrestling tournament and I wasn't worried about being on my own with her until this new development. Sooo if you see me crashing out on here tomorrow and Saturday, just mind ya business lol

i know i'm strong but damn i'm tired too

Now that I'm in a better head space, let's discuss the 2 month check up.

For one, the pediatrician I chose has a resident working for her so we see the resident first and I am not vibing with her at all. At the one month check up, the resident asked if Lainey's skin always looked like that. It was literally just how skin looks when a baby is cold, like a little extra veiny. (She was in just a diaper in a cold ass doctors office) Then at the two month check she is the one that was pushing to start formula. Lainey has gained weight. She nurses great, seems content after eating, and has plenty of wet and dirty diapers. But I guess her percentile almost dropped to the next lowest curve and that's where they start to get concerned. The pediatrician was fine with continuing to breastfeed and do the weight check and go from there. I really don't care about formula. I was so much happier when I switched Knox to it. I don't think I'm ~better~ than moms who formula feed. I simply don't want to pay for it in this economy IF I can successfully breastfeed. Which everything in me tells me we are doing just fine on that journey.

Then the birthmark. Multiple doctors have seen it since Lainey was born, including the Ped. No one has said anything. Then the resident says oh that needs to be checked by dermatology because it could be a hemangioma. The more I reflect on my experiences with her, I think maybe because she's a resident and still learning she's been like... extremely cautious about everything. And that's fine for her! Not fine for me. I have anxiety and this is not helping. I really like Lainey's ped but I'm considering switching to someone else in the office to avoid continuing down this path with the resident.

I got the weight check scheduled so hopefully it confirms she's on her own curve and we can put that conversation to rest. Shots sucked as always. We did one dose of Tylenol to help her through the worst of it, snuggled and slept lots, and she seems to be just fine today.

Alright! It's a new day! The crash out is over! Thanks for tuning in. 😂
