Morning. I disappeared again >< I've been trying to at least read to keep up this time.
We are moving today. Found out on Friday that little tiny puts us over the legal limit of people in our apartment so they can't renew our lease. Go go scrambling for any three bedroom even remotely affordable here. Long story short, we spent all day yesterday packing and the movers will be here in the next hour or so.
I hurt so badly ><
On the bfing front, gas pain has been our enemy here. I've given up potatoes. Don't know if it helped or his digestive system matured. I just know I miss french fries!

Just squirted myself in the face with breast milk.
The first time DH witnessed DD1 popping off the boob unexpectedly and seeing milk shoot across the room was priceless. I don't think he knew if he was disgusted (as a new dad and at the general idea of breast milk shooting across the room toward him) or amazed at the sheer power of bm.
The pediatrician we saw yesterday said DD could be swaddled with one arm out even though she can turn onto her side. This made all the difference. She is sleeping so peacefully in her pack and play that I keep going in to check on her bc she's so quiet it scares me! We may begin to sleep again! 😂

I actually like the newborn stage Guess that is my UO lol. They are like cute little squishy potatoes who just eat and sleep (even if the sleep is not at an opportune time). It isn't ideal but I do pretty decently when sleep deprived, too. Plus I can tuck the napping baby into my arm and lay on the couch and watch a show for an hour or two....whatever show I want without fear that the kid will repeat something they heard. Can't do that with the toddler lol.
I do very much look forward to more independence from baby but I don't mind this part one bit. Upcoming milestones I am looking forward to: -social smiles -when they HOLD THEIR OWN BOTTLE

My mom called to check on me and asked how I was feeling. I told her I'm always stressed and irritated for no reason and her reply was, "Well you need to snap out od it and enjoy the baby."
THANKS! It's not like I've even thought of that. Shit maybe all my problems could be fixed with positive thinking.

Feels like there is a splinter in my vagina/ass region. So either scar tissue is a little aggressive, my stitches are randomly pokey, or idk something is wrong.

She's petty much this person and does not get why I'm so stressed and overwhelmed all the time.
But, I mean...
1- failed IUD so I didn't think this would be my life.
2- DH is gone almost all of everyday because of work and college.
3- I possibly have PPA, I go to the Dr in about a week so we'll see.
I was somewhat dreading the newborn phase, but DS2 is so much easier of a baby than DS1 was until like... 6+ months old, so in comparison I don't necessarily feel like I have a newborn this time around. Also, the knowledge and confidence that comes with having BTDT with a lot of things is making this a much smoother experience than I ever expected 2u2 would be.
All that said... I'm pretty sure my chill baby will eventually pay me back for these easy newborn days by morphing into a difficult toddler. But I'll do my best to enjoy this time as long as it lasts.
I've had two chill babies and I still hate newborns. :/

My vagina is still broken, a chronicle.
Like in solidarity. I had the nurse take a look and apparently mine is a huge hemorrhoid. Not fun.
First night home and nursing in MOTN... baby boy is getting better at nursing but is super slow, he loves taking breaks. Nursing takes 45 minutes to an hour sometimes
A was a slow eater at first and would constantly fall asleep in the middle of eating so my LC recommended massaging my breast before and during the feeding. It speeds up the flow which seems to keep A focused a little better and has cut down our feeding times to 15-20ish miniutes of good eating
I just did this and it did seem to help! Once he starts fixing it perks him up, thank you ☺️
@priss08 hugs. I hope your Dr. can help. I'm assuming your mom lives away? Since her offering to come help for a few hours would be more helpful than her insensitive comment. Sorry you have to deal with that.
Hanging out in BH/real contraction limbo here. Frustrated with my mom who keeps asking if I think I'm going to go early- I don't know! She did this with DS too. I'm not in charge of when I go into labor, sorry if certain times are less convenient for you but babies do what they want. I wish she wouldn't offer to help but then start talking about times that are better. Either be prepared to drop everything and come or don't.
