The Good, The Bad, and The Smelly
The Good:
J. has been sleeping for 6 hours straight for the past 3 nights in a row!
I still have 4.5 weeks left of maternity leave - woo hoo
The Bad:
J. has baby acne -- the poor thing looks like a teenager!
My milk supply is starting to diminish, so we're having to supplement with formula to keep J. from screaming. That kid can down 5 ounces in one sitting at this point!
My husband is being laid off from his job. The positive is that he's getting a nice severance package, but even so, now he's gotta find something else.
The Smelly
My adorable, sweet little boy has the absolute worst smelling gas in the world! And he is a little farting machine. Always a joy when I'm breastfeeding him. I think I've gotten used to it though because he had the nastiest poo yesterday and while my husband was gagging, I didn't even flinch.
I'm taking fenugreek seed to help try and boost my milk supply...all it's done so far is make my sweat smell like maple syrup. For real!

that's quite an update. Glad you've been getting more sleep, I'm sorry to hear about your husband's job- really nasty timing, though. Hope he finds a better job soon!
Oatmeal (even oatmeal cookies)! that should help your supply.
I'm so sorry about S. and the job. That's the last thing you need to worry about. The severance pkg. is great though...at least that's time he can look for a job in MY TOWN! Oh pleaseeeeeee?
The fenugreek seed thing is amazing...do you think the french could start taking it? When they sweat it sure isn't pretty.
my word verification is "FUNKS"! I swear!
Eeeek so sorry to hear hubby lost his job. :o( Awesome that Jake is sleeping so long!! YAY!! And I have no idea what to do about milk issues; I never had any. ;o)
Also I think it's something about being a mother that you don't really smell the stinky stuff. There have been several times where I've taken over from Kurt cuz he's gotten a bit green around the gills, and I barely turned a hair.
"yftmwzce": What your hubby says when presented with a particularly stinky diaper!!!
.....and the alchoholic chimes in..."BEER" beer is what my doc, and a few old school baby books, told me to drink should my supple get low. Don't ask me why but having a beer does help- only one so you don't get the little booger drunk. OH- and the stinky gas? Welcome to the world of formula diapers. Especially if you are switching back and forth between that and nursing. I remember the first one Jake had- my ex blamed it on me eating something funky. Jackass.
Sounds like you are having a blast stinky gass and all,.. wish I could be there to give you a big HUG!!! Congrats lady!
I suppose there are worse things for your sweat to smell like than maple syrup!
Good luck with all that you're going through right now! Huge hugs from me to you, hun!!!
xoxo
