Both kids are napping so I'm enjoying some food and tv time. I had an appointment with lactation today and I feel like I'm getting back on track...finally... for now I have to keep pumping until my nipples heal and then I will be trying breastfeeding with a shield. I hope it works out this time.
My dad and his wife are here til Sunday morning. It's nice to have company but also chaotic and I sort of just want to binge watch greys on Netflix and I can't when they're here.
I think DS has a milk allergy (my older kid) so I need to grab some soy milk tomorrow. Hopeful that will solve his constipation issues.
I really wish my kid would give me 3hrs between feedings. And we cluster feed every freaking night before bed. Sigh.

A nipple shield was very helpful for DS and I at the beginning. Hope it helps you too!
Also A went from 4 poops a day to none for days and then an EPIC BLOWOUT. Just gave her an unplanned bath and now I need to wash the swing's lining. Bleh.

DH got home tonight and doesn't feel good... so he went to bed in the spare bedroom (feels pukey... fabulous). I had to solo parent all day. Made dinner and both kids desperately needed baths. Managed ok but it would have been SO much easier with another set of hands. Now I'm holding E while the dinner leftovers sit in the kitchen. Argh.

I was MIA yesterday so I'm just catching up...hugs all around!
I spent a couple hours yesterday visiting my office so my co-workers could meet DS2, then to pediatrician for his 2 week checkup and DD's yearly well check, which were both great. Declan gained 10 oz since his last weight check 10 days ago, so I was relieved that he's getting enough milk. Then we went to the grocery store (mainly so I could get a Starbucks, lol). I was exhausted after that and my bleeding has picked back up, I assume from lifting/lugging the car seat all day.
