2 month shots are not fun. They weren't too bad going in, but both babies are super fussy tonight even after getting tylenol. Family friends came over to meet the babies and they screamed the whole time! H is feeling under the weather today so I am gearing up for a sleepless night... but H promised me a nap tomorrow.

Minus the twins and visitors, sounds the same here! Super super fussy all afternoon and evening (although he did nap a lot), and dh now has my cold that I had last week. I haven't given tylenol but may depending on how he does the rest of the evening. I hope the extra naps don't affect sleep tonight!
This pregnant talk is terrifying to me. I had my six week appointment yesterday so we finally had sex. But my IUD placement isn't for another week. I will just die if I'm the first one that gets pregnant again.
I said I was going to try to put her to bed early... yeah she was not on board. Every time I lay her down in her crib (after rocking her to sleep), she starts screaming. Ugh. I'm hoping she finally goes to bed soon and gives me a decent stretch, but by then she will probably be hungry again.

I'm on round 2 of bedtime too. I'm hoping this one works.
I'm attempting crib sleeping tonight. I've got everything crossed that he sleeps for some of evening in his room and crib! He slept in there today for a nap but on his belly (unswaddled) for 1.5 hr. But I don't want him on belly at night when I can't check on him regularly.
When DD got her shots, the first shot there was a moment where the nurse got a "what the f*ck did you do?!?" look and then she wailed. I felt bad thinking it was pretty funny.
Evening. H's aunt from the east coast evacuated for the hurricane and is here with us. DD has been asleep so they haven't met yet. Our dog is not a fan of guests so it's a little extra stressful because he's so loud, but overall it's been fine. Just waiting to see what west coast FL gets hit with from Matthew now.
Bedtime went better than expected considering the vaccine induced fussiness. We gave them baths and I discovered a trick- feed right before the bath so they are calm and satisfied, then pjs, swaddle, and top them off before bed. M didn't cry once during his bath!
Operation get DS into crib not going so well. While I was still awake I let him sleep unswaddled on his belly. He slept for 2 hours until I attempted to flip him on his back. Despite best efforts he will not sleep on his back. He wakes up every time. Sleeps great on my chest though, but once again probably bc he's on his belly. I wish he'd learn to roll over so I can feel comfortable with him sleeping at night on his stomach.
I'm impressed with those of you having sex. I'm 11w pp and couldn't imagine. First of all ...oww at the thought. But second of all...when? I guess if there is a time baby is actually asleep then I'm asleep too. Or finally eating. There is no time to work on any kind of foreplay etc. & that would be required for it not to hurt. And I don't exactly feel sexy right now. So basically no libido, no good time. I considered trying it once but was in a ton of pain after inserting the diaphragm. even with lots of coconut oil the area was so raw & red. So much pain that I was like no way could I have sex right now and it was so much worse after getting the diaphragm back out.

katelm I'm with you on this completly. I'm 6 weeks pp as of yesterday and have no desire to jump back into having sex. I'm always sleeping or eating or showering when she's asleep, but really I have very little desire.
Me (30) MH (32) Dx: MFI (low all the things) M. 10/11. TTC Since 01/14 IUI#1-3(Letrozole + Trigger) = BFN Second Opinion. Changed RE's. IVF 09/15 Long Lupron 12R/9M/8F, Transferred 1=BFN. 4 frosties. FET #1 12/15 Transferred 1 (3 still on ice)

bocaburger for my sauce, I make a roux with 3 T olive oil and 1 T flour. Cook it over low heat until blonde, then add 6 oz of tomato paste. Whisk that quickly for a couple of seconds then pour in 3 c of chicken stock. Add 1/4 c of chili powder (not hot chili powder! Lol), 2 T cumin, and 1 T oregano. Bring to a low simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes to thicken. Sometimes I replace some of the chicken stock with beer--it gives it a deep, earthy flavor.
I typically use a double batch of sauce for 1 batch of enchiladas bc we like them saucy. So I lightly oil a 9x13 pan, then spoon a little sauce on the bottom. Line up 8 tortillas across the pan, folded. Fill each with cooked shredded chicken, shredded cheese, some black beans and some vegetables if desired (I often add some cooked grated zucchini and carrots), and a spoonful of the sauce. Roll them up, seam side down. Pour sauce overtop and spread more shredded cheese on top. Cover loosely with foil and bake at 375 for 45 minutes.

How was the rest of your night?
It went well as long as I didn't attempt to put him in the crib or his seat. So we just slept together in his recliner. I'm going to keep trying..at some point hell sleep in there.

We've made it work on weekends, once LO is down for a nap. I was so uncomfortable during pregnancy that it really felt isolating and I missed the intimacy. We've had to go really slow and use a lot of lube.
