Ronan developed a nasty looking rash, so I took him into the ped today. I was pretty sure it was erythema toxicum, and I was right, but I needed reassurance. Ped asked if I have sensitive skin. I snorted, he then actually looked at me, smiled, and said--just expect him to have ALL the baby rashes.

He's gained eight ounces since Friday! Also had another heelstick. I shouldn't have had him stuck at MJH, because he was less than 24hrs old. I wasn't thinking. Metabolic disorders are serious, so I readily acquiesced to a second test. After the nurse wrapped his foot for 15 minutes of warming, I nursed him into a milk stupor. I'm sure the stick was a rude awakening, but he bore up well.

Afterward, he got grandma time while dad took me out to take care of shopping. The nursing tops at Motherhood don't fit me, so I bought some Lilypadz with the giftcard I still have. My OMGWTFBBQthisishugecannotbemysize nursing bra is too tight, so if I let down while wearing it, I soak through the heavy flannel nursing pads fast. These might just do the trick.

My maternity jeans (old navy under the belly) are getting loose, even with a bella band, They're stretch, so I'll dry them hotter than usual, see if they stay up. They're seriously comfy--I should see if they still sell them and go down a size, though they have no front pockets.

I'll begin using the acronyn NAK--nursing at keyboard. Means I'm one handed, like now. Typos may increase, punctation may lapse.
