It's Tuesday!!!

What's everyone up to?


I have my 6week follow up with the OB today. I'm excited I see him and thank him, discuss what went wrong during my labour, and hopefully get cleared to exercise!!

[katelou]

My pp appointment is Friday. I am looking forward to hopefully getting rid of the stitches that didn't dissolve

No school today so I'd like to go to the library with the girls at some point.

[cavewmn]

DH saw me in trex mode and decided to call in sick.

Sadly it looks like DH didn't get the job he interviewed for. The extra money would have been real nice.

[housecarder]

I'm working. The girls had their 2 month app yesterday and are growing good.

This morning Evie was fussing and I rolled over to give her her pacifier and she wasn't having it. So I looked at my phone to see what time it was since she doesn't normally get hungry until 5 am and it was 5:20. I about shit, woke up H and had to rush to get ready while he fed her since I normally leave the house by 5:15. Walked into work right at 6.

[cabbagecabbage]

We had doctors appointments for both kids: one month and four year. Everyone is great and I've put almost 3 and a half pounds on my little chunker baby! He's not a peanut anymore.

Now we're off to wait for the sewer specialist plumber. Later I'm hoping to go to my IL''s house to use their washi b g machine. I can't use mine until we're all fixed. Also I need to buy disposable diapers. I have a few but I'm not cloth diapering without a washing machine I can use.

Hey!!!! I'm here and alive! I've been insanely busy. Other than the two kids, who are amazing and sweet, I've been taking product pictures for a solid week. It's like I'm buried in a mountain of clothes that are threatening to drown me. Idk how LLR girls do it because I don't carry as much inventory as they do. Then again, I do have two kids I'm trying to juggle, so there's that. I have a Facebook sale on Friday so I need to be done by then....:..hahahahhahahahaha

J has put on a pound and a half in a month, which is pretty cool. I think she's only been waking up once. Honestly, nighttime is such a blur to me. But the weather finally cleared up and I was able to take both girls for a walk this morning! It was really nice to breathe fresh air.

[Ray]

Sorry to hear about your DHS job cavewmn

AFM, I got cleared to do whatever I want! Doc seemed really happy with how I've healed up so that's great

[sarcaztic10]

I went for my initial visit and X-rays at the chiropractor today. I go back tomorrow for results and a treatment plan. I am really hoping this helps my back.

S I having a very hard time napping yesterday and today so I am not getting anything done...

[housecarder]

It's funny to be on a computer and see all the tickers that say you all are 43-45 weeks pregnant

[comicSans]

Stop rooting on me baby, I just fed you!

I'm glad you are alive!

1st pp period sucks!

[Ray]

I'm just here bawling over HP and the deathly hollows part 2.

[cabbagecabbage]

Bummer cavewmn. That stinks. My husband is interviewing now and it's an emotional roller-coaster.

The horror!!!

[littlesthobo]

My friend came over with her two kids for a play date, it was so much fun! We were out in the backyard the whole time. Together we had four kids under three years old. Which reminds me to ask about birth control at my next appt.

DS1 is down for a nap and L and I are snuggling in front of the TV. His tiny old man track pants are killing me! And I miss the Olympics.

Ugh all the wine and chocolate to you. I'm not looking forward to that.

Separate note. My doc told me because I'm EBF I'm protected from conception for 12 weeks PP.



I feel like I want to go back on BC sooner than week 11 like he told me.

I'm also was wondering what this will do re: my 1st PPP

Then as I left he said "maybe see you back next year?"

Hehehe



Lol I do love him though and will very much miss him as a doctor.

Ray going on BC shouldn't affect when your period returns. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the only hormonal BC you can take while BFing is the progesterone only pill aka mini pill. Most BC pills are estrogen + progesterone which can affect milk supply.

Last time I was EBF and My OB told me I didn't need to take BC for the first 3 months PP as long as my period didn't start, which she said wouldn't happen. And then my baby started to sleep 8 hours a night at 8 weeks PP and bam, there was my period.

[willow]

I just tried the nose frida for the first time. L haaaaated that lol. How the hell do you do it on a squirming newborn!

[willow]

I haven't stopped my PP bleeding yet. it's light but still enough for pads all day. I'm so over it because I hate pads.

Thanks! Yeah that's what he prescribed me.

The only reason I'm hesitant to wait to start BCP is my friend who is currently dealing with the miscarriage got pregnant again before she ever got her first PPP. I realize these two things are not connected, but Id still rather not have a Murphy's law situation where I get KU before I even realize I'm ovulating again.

Right there with you. I've downgraded to heavy duty panty liners, but it's still there. Whomp whomp.

It sucks! I mean I know at 4 weeks out its not abnormal but it's so irritating. I probably wouldn't mind if I could just use my diva cup but I hate feeling like I have to change two sets of diapers every day lol.

[icaughtfire]

+1 on still needing at least a liner every day. I've had more than once where I had no bleeding at all for 2-3 days so I think I'm good without, then BAM spotting for a day or so. Annoying as fuck.

Ray, deathly hallows pt2 gets me every damn time. I've been binge watching all the seasons of Grey's Anatomy because I've got lots of free time & OMG I'm ugly sobbing like every episode. Damn these hormones.

I started applying to jobs because I really don't want to return to my current job after maternity leave. I have an interview on Thursday & I'm freaking out!! I haven't interviewed anywhere in years.

[rungirlrun]

littlesthobo , willow , yep still bleeding here as well. Mine is still pretty heavy too for the most part. Still using super pads :-( My older son wanted me to go swimming with him yesterday so badly, and I felt awful saying no.

Good luck icaughtfire!  I want to return to work when this one starts kindergarden so at that point, I'll have been out of the workforce for 8-9 years.  Plus I was at my last job for 5 years so I do not even want to think about interviewing after almost 15 years since my last one.

[Ray]

Good luck on Thursday icaughtfire

[cavewmn]

Appointment went well. One more week without sex. 2 damn stitches need to go.

Should be picking up BC.

Have to take the 2 hour glucose test soon :/
