NCU entirely - I just passed a clot the size of a ping pong ball... normal? I called the nurse line at the OB office, but they haven't called back yet. I feel fine, so hopefully it is fine, but it freaked me out to see that...

This happened to me; I passed a clot about 2ish weeks pp and it scared the crap out of me, but I was assured that as long as the clot is not accompanied by lots of extra/new pain or bright red blood, then it is nothing to worry about. Clots are often part of the post partum experience. They recommend to rest and drink a lot of water (the usual lol)

DH's boss has a very uncool sense of humor. He called to say that the station DH is being deployed to called to ask if they could get him 10 days early. Then after DH flat out told him no and started to apologize he was like "no don't worry about it! I already told them no for you, I just wanted to see your reaction". Not cool, ass hat, not cool. I almost threw the phone out of the car.

Just finishing feeding DS for the umpteenth time today before I rush to get this place semi cleaned for supper tonight and try to get supper together. Also need to make time to vacuum somewhere between sleeping children and guests arriviving.

Finally got around to going to get a copy of Z's birth certificate. Got home and realized my name is spelled wrong on it! 😡 Now I have to go back with my birth certificate to get it corrected. Thanks for screwing that's up hospital....

Good to hear! It was just alarming to see it! They basically told me the same thing. Drink more water! I actually have been bleeding more the last few days, but since I passed that clot it hasn't been as much. So maybe that actually helped. I love this period of grossness.

staz sorry for the screaming baby! 🙁

musicallyinclined sorry DS1 is giving you trouble. C is a hitter ( to DH and I, not at school thankfully) and it's so frustrating. Especially because he does it for no reason. He'll do it out of anger, happiness, etc. he is just a very physical kid.

flyinghorses6 I hope you get some answers for both girls today!

Afm, I have both kids solo all night. DH has a an event for work and won't be home until well after bedtime. I'm hanging my head in shame because I'm so nervous and so many of you do this everyday. 😳

[flyinghorses6]

Thank you everyone for the good vibes and thoughts. R got a prescription for Prilosec which may take a few days to work, and we will re-evaluate in a week. Tonight I'm going to snuggle the shit out of her because she did awesome all day and it was a long hard day for both girls.

K got another X-ray but of the other leg. No fractures seen so that's good. Holding her down for an X-ray was actual hell. That little kid is strong and she was pissed. She's limping worse now probably because of the struggling and being pinned down. We will see an ortho next week if she's still limping Monday. So I plan on doing that.

Happy to have plans for both girls.

[musicallyinclined]

We just got back home to our house. The car ride took an extra 30 minutes in addition to the 30 minute stop so we were in the car for about 4.5 hours. Both boys spent the first 30
Home screaming. We are exhausted. Happy to be home though.

Been trying to LT here and there to catch up with everyone.

flyinghorses6- yeah for good spots for each girl! Glad each is going in the right direction. Way to fight momma!!

DH should be home in an hour! FX babes give us a good night because DH is gonna be worthless/jet lagged.

[crazycatlady6]

littleredfish - TP to your DH's boss.

dancerspose- WTF hospital!

monicageller - you'll be awesome tonight!

@jacks605 - all the FX for a good night.

[staz]

I've never been so happy to see H! LO did a massive poop earlier. She's happier since then. Thank goodness!

[musicallyinclined]

Just dropped a bite of lasagna on the baby and woke him up...oops. Don't worry it was lukewarm.

My baby was sprinkled with cupcake crumbs earlier. I figure it's better than dropping the phone on them, right? 😉

[staz]

My baby had Thin Mints on her head earlier...

I totally dropped the phone on DS last night. I felt awful. The girls were much older before they got a phone on the face. So much shame.

I dropped my phone on DS a few times. Not yet on Clara, but I'm sure the day is coming...

I've gotten Miss O a couple times now.

[cosmicav]

I just finished sobbing about a sad song. The song is off and I am still teary about it. I feel like I am being ridiculous but I cannot help it right now.

Post partum emotions suddenly hitting hard.

[Deleted]

Well so far not the best start to our night. Nursed and supplemented both babes. Miss O is thisclose to being asleep and I sneeze and wake her up and Lil G poops so back to square one. I nurse again and they are asleep. Put into RnP and G wakes up. Then O again. Nursing Miss O for a 3rd night time feeding.

DH is in the basement sleeping....my mom is staying another night. 😕

[shawnabm1320]

Ugh. I have such a headache. Tylenol didn't help, so I was hoping some sleep would. Too bad I've been up every 45 minutes with my normally great sleeper 😕 Good timing for a growth spurt, sweetheart!

[shawnabm1320]

And also, I'm going to murder my snoring husband. I've smacked him
3 times now, and he's still. snoring. away.

[flyinghorses6]

Prilosec + RNP = 5 glorious hours of sleep. This has only happened 1 other time in 5 weeks.

Now for the second half of the night--which usually causes us problems. I'm going to try the RNP again before just letting her sleep on my chest (although I do love the snuggles). Stay tuned.

[staz]

The RnP is the best thing ever!

[loves2shop4shoes]

E passed out downstairs at 9:30ish when our college friends were still visiting. She fell asleep unswaddled, so we only got 3ish hours from her.

The first stretch of sleep is usually the longest, so now we got another 3 hour stretch and I don't anticipate any long stretches tonight.

Ugh. It sucks so bad how a slight change in routine can result in less sleep. Wahhhh.

[Deleted]

Well after the rough start they did give me a decent stretch. Bad news is I was so tired from last night that when babes woke me up LO1 was sleeping next to me. Lil stinker came in and just climbed in....

Now LO1 is feeding her baby (teddy bear) her special milk just like my babies. Super cute! Even has the MOTN hunger- asked for pizza. Bahahaha!!!.....I'm screwed.

[Deleted]

Well shit....remembering now the hard way that LO1 wanted to go pee before babies were fed. I'd told her to ask my mom because I was changing a baby. Well she didn't tell my mom she needed to go and yepp she just woke me up because she peed in my bed.

Mother of the year here next....pulled the blankets and sheets. Threw a big double beach towel onto the bed put LO1 back in and grabbed a new blanket. (She did get new Jammie's.). Must be doing something right because she thanked me when I tucked her back in because the new blanket was so nice.

[shellbell]

@jacks605 my diapered 3yo woke up wet at 2am. I threw a blanket over the wet spot on the sheet, changed his pjs, and we all went back to sleep.
