When does the big hormone dip come? I think it was day 4 with DD, the day we went home and I just wept all day. I feel amazing today, but warned DH it's probably coming soon.
Also, breastfeeders did you get engorged this time when your milk came in? I felt more full this morning, but not like whoa milk. I think that was also late day 4 with DD and today is day 3.
My milk came in on day 3 this time. Definitely a lot more milk and engorged. Ds1 just had his first breakdown about the baby. I was trying to feed ds2 and he was crying- milk was squirting - ds2 wouldn't accept either boob. I told ds1 I needed to feed ds2. He slammed his little body into the bed and started sobbing. He seemed so broken hearted. I had to get Dh to help (he was in the middle of a project) because I needed someone to hold ds2 because ds1 just needed me. Mil helped so much too. I was very grateful. I know it's a huge change for ds1.

So it looks like a small part of DS2's circ readhered. This happened to DS1 and at some point it fixed itself. Is it something I can work at now or would it hurt too bad? I tried pulling a bit and nothing. Don't want to hurt him obviously.

Ds1 is having a tough time with ds2 today. I know I completely changed his world a week ago. I feel like less of a mom than I should be to both of them

I feel the same. I'm having a hard time with patience too.

I felt like that for a long Time. If I had to take care of DD1 I felt bad I coudlnt attend to the baby, and vice versa. It takes a while to adjust but those feelings go away eventually. You're doing the best you can for both kids and that is enough.

Just keep using vasaline or coconut oil and gently pull it at each change. It will eventually be fine but it needs to be moist to separate. This happened in a small spot on both of my boys and it was fixed fairly quickly.

This is actually what I did and got it free. Glad to hear it was the right thing to do.
Sorry, this is funny. I feel okay to laugh because I still look pregnant - not as much as I did a few days ago though!
I just asked DH, how pregnant do I look? He says I've lost about 20 weeks, but he's probably over estimating haha.
I've lost all the weight I gained plus a few more pounds but the shape, well, it's different and not attractive.... yet. We were trying really hard at the end of my pregnancy to help ds understand what was happening. We might have pushed a little hard on the baby in the belly thing. He just pointed to dh's belly and said bee bee. Ha. Now you know how it feels, dh.
The last couple of days I've been feeling low, this just hit me all wrong this morning. I'm trying to laugh at it.

DD looked at my belly yesterday and asked what's baby doin? We pointed out grandma was holding the baby. Guess she didn't quite get that he was the same baby we'd been talking about. She also sometimes tells me her baby is kicking or her frog since the pedi "checked her belly for frogs" once.
Just got home and DD is napping. Interested to see what she'll think of him here.

Susan0utLoud I hope I wasn't offensive. I refused to be in the photos with the in laws, Dh, and the kids. I don't want the look in sporting right now to be captured. I will do immediate family (Dh & kids), but not more than that.

Wait ... all the weight and then some - so soon? Is that OK? With DD at my 2 week checkup my midwife said I was losing weight too fast and had to eat more. And it definitely wasn't all off yet at that point.

I only gained 12 pounds and am not breastfeeding. I have lost about 17 as of yesterday. I'm eating a lot, haven't tried to lose. I gained and lost the same last time in about the same timeframe.
Eta: I had GD this time and was very strict with my diet. Trust me, I'm eating everything.
Hey athn64 did you join the J16 FB group? Guessing not.
Nope. I have zero desire to.
Yea this pretty much seals the deal that I won't become close with those ladies like this board. Someone commented saying that they hardly ever look at the TCF board anymore now that they have the FB group.
