So either DD has a stomach bug or rice cereal really doesn't agree with her. Last night after I put her to bed she threw up. I happened to be watching on the monitor the first time do I ran in there and picked her up, then she threw up all over me. It happened 3-4 more times over the next hour before we got her back to sleep. Then of course I spent the night half awake because I was worried listening to her sleep. She was up in the MOTN to eat since her belly was empty, but slept fine besides that. No puking since. I'm hoping it was a one time thing.
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)

I am sick again and alone with the babies all morning, so we are having a very low maintenance parenting sort of day. As in, make sure they are alive and not screaming, but don't worry about reading or singing or interacting. Thank goodness they are cooperating.

Like for cooperation. Big dislike to being sick again. Feel better.

M has taken to smacking himself in the head repeatedly while nursing. I've tried holding his hand or giving him a lovey but it doesn't help. Should I just let him do it?

I would say.... there's nothing else you can really do and hopefully it's just a short lived phase. I don't think he would do it if it really hurt him. Olivia smacks ME over and over when I don't get settled fast enough. Silly babies.

DD does this too. I sometimes leave her, but I often hold her hand. She hits pretty hard and I worry she'll give herself a black eye.

I'm curious. A coworker of mine said the Chinese Gender Predictor Chart was accurate for all 3 of her kids, but it was wrong for me. Was it accurate for you?

DD now has a fever. No puking since last night but tonight has been worse in that she hasn't slept for more than 15 minutes at a time unless I'm holding her. MH tried to be helpful and ended up giving her back to me. He now says "she hates me". Of course she doesn't hate you! She's sick and wants mommy. Ugh. I hoping she'll sleep for at least at hour in a row so that I can try to sleep too. Going to be a long night if this keeps up.

I'm having a hard time - DH has been complaining of lack of intimacy (sex but also just romance) and I'm having a hard time wanting it. I think the antidepressants have seriously tanked my libido. I honestly just haven't really thought about sex. I feel like it's important and I don't want him to feel unhappy... but I kind of just don't feel like it? What do I do, just kind of go with it for a while?
I'm here too and have been for almost 4 years. What has helped us has been to communicate. H knows that this is a problem for me because of the ADs. Sometimes it's just a fake it til you make it. He gets it. He doesn't necessarily like it, but he gets it. It's a trade off for me feeling like a normal person. We'll have times where the sex us just for him and we're both fine with it. Other times, we're both into it. It works for us. But it's all about communicating how you are feeling. HTH.
Eta: this didn't happen for us overnight. We struggled with this for a few months before finding what worked for us.

::hugs::
I'm on the other side of this. While pregnant, sex felt ridiculous and I couldn't do it. But, after having her, I was so. excited. to go back to it. And we just ...haven't. My husband hasn't felt his best in a long time and the being up with the baby was exhausting.
I'm sad - I won't lie. But I get that other things are going on and sex like we had in college is not always at the top of the list. I try to be patient, say that I'm ready when he is, etc.
The only thing that I can add is to make sure he knows that it's not him. I spiralled on it being my fault - birth messed up my body and he wasn't attracted to it anymore, etc. I mostly believe that's not true, but sometimes it gets to me and I just need to hear that it's not anything that I did. We do spend a lot of time together, have gotten back to wine and TV at night, we do get dinners out occassionally, and communicate okay.
It's such a hard time - so many feelings, issues, distractions, and so on. It takes time for the pieces to fall back in line. Keep talking to each other. ::more hugs::
He brought it up last night and I felt so terrible because it seems like we're just in a sexless routine and I've been ok with that. He wasn't whiny or anything, he just seemed sad and said he missed intimacy. I think part of it is that he isn't good at keeping up with his friends, and I'm most of his social outlet and pretty much his only really close connection. Sex aside, I maintain close relationships with many people - so I don't feel that's lacking for me.
Maybe I do need o try to fake it until I make it.
Also joy I just want to give you hugs, too! I do not believe that having a baby messed up your body! It's so not your fault, friend!
