I ventured out with both kids alone for the first time today! Due to a very rough night last night and the night before, I needed to go to Walmart and purchase my last resort formula, Alimentum. Last night, we had a feeding frenzy from 7-10pm, and then finally sleep at 11pm. He finally slept in the swing after trying every other option other than in bed with me! The boy wanted to eat, but wasn't comfortable when eating, then would cry, then fall asleep, then I would put him down, and minutes later he was writhing himself awake! I even tried putting him on his stomach (unbelievable I know it) and that didn't work. Swaddled, unswaddled, side, back, stomach, swing, head elevated, head flat, nothing worked! So we are going to try Alimentum and see if it is the one thing we have been missing all along! Cross our fingers!
Oh and the shopping trip went pretty well. Minus the lack of room for groceries in the cart. Of course I needed other things than just formula! But we made it work. And Rowan listened pretty well, and Eddie slept through the entire trip. Needless to say, we left right after Eddie ate, went in our pajamas, and were home by 9am. Success. But takes a lot of planning to do, and that was even without showering and dressing! I fit right in at Walmart!

He looks just like Rowan in this picture
Seriously he sounds just like Mason was! Horrible for the mommy and the baby! I'm sorry that things are hard right now! They will eventually get better ;) Hang in there.
Walmart is good for that exact reason! And why don't they make a cart with a good place to put an infant carrier? I always pile them on top of Jillian (the light stuff), and get very funny looks from people!
