It's weird because I keep having random spotting too. Like two days of spotting, then nothing, then a day. Make up your mind body. Plus all I do is BF, soooo go away.
I saw my 2nd stitch come out this morning. I kinda want to take a mirror and see how many stitches/ the status of my vag but I don't want to be scarred either.

DS1's fever is back up. I am so frustrated. We are also back to not taking medicine. Jesus take the wheel. DS2 woke up screaming. He has a bunch of funk in his eyes. Thinking clogged tear ducts working themselves out. He also seems to have some pretty uncomfortable reflux happening. Anytime he is flat he starts screaming. He also puked on me in the bed last night, again. We are tired.

I assumed I've been gifted this because I go from 7:30pm till 4:30am without nursing. (Please note: my baby is not asleep that whole time.)

I've had a few days of random spotting too. I didn't have a period until DS1 weaned at 14 months last time. I'm pretty sure the iud helped that. I was hoping for a repeat of that.
Has anyone else started shedding? I put my hair in a pony tail last night and I swear it's half the size it was a week ago! When does the shedding stop?

Sorry to everyone that's spotting. What shellbell said: BF you had one job (well, in addition to growing a tiny human)!!
R is still being prett fussy most of the time. Luckily, overnight he just wakes to eat and goes back down. But I just need him to grow out of this fussy stage.
Babies need to go back to sleep at night. M was happily awake for almost two hours MOTN when I finslly gave up and put her back in her bassinet awake. Apparently that was okay because I heard not a peep until L woke up two hours later.
musicallyinclined- OMG the shedding is insane! I think it's worst because I don't shower/wash my hair daily like I normally do so when I dry my hair post shower the floor is covered.
I've got ewcm going on right now, so I have a hunch it's around the corner for me, too. I'm FF so I shouldn't be shocked, but still. Last time, the first pp period cramps were brutal. I'm really dreading it this time.
Learned an important lesson this morning: never leave your phone by your side on the couch while burping the baby volcano. 😝

Alternate tylenol and ibuprofen every 2-3 hours depending on dosage to help control period pain. That kept me from being doubled over on many occasions.

I always forget about this. I usually end up taking Aleve because it kicks in quicker (for me) but then it wears off and I'm stuck and can't take more. Then I end up clinging to a heating pad. I doubt that's going to be effective whike taking care of the munchkins.

It's coming out by the handful for me. I think I read the shedding should stop by one year. Boo.

My great grandma and cousin (she's 16 and homeschooled) came over to visit this morning, and my grandma showed up a bit later. My grandma cleaned my kitchen again and folded laundry. She's wonderful. I also managed to unload the dishwasher and run another load of laundry while great grandma held the baby and my cousin played with Forrest. I think we should all live in familial colonies. That much help was amazing! But my cousin's mom is BSC, so maybe that would be bad, come to think of it...
Last night we discovered that the roof is leaking in DS's room, and last week the check engine light in my car turned on once again. So new roof, possibly new car, combined with the birth to pay for, it looks like we're going to be broke for the foreseeable future...
I haven't lost hair yet, but maybe I'll be spared since I didn't have significant hair loss last time!! But then again, last time I didn't have night sweats either.... I've been dripping this time.

My TMI - my lady parts are so so itchy. I'm assuming it means things are healing? But gah! I keep lining my pads with tucks to tame it down. I cannot wait to feel normal down there again.

shellbell so sorry for the period. And sorry to all you dealing with spotting too. I've always had adult acne (thanks PCOS). It actually cleared up while I was pregnant but now I keep breaking out around my mouth, chin, and nose. I also seem to have stopped shedding since giving birth. My hairdresser said it could happen while BFing but to be prepared for a big shedding when I stop...
I think C finally likes the swing! He napped for over 2 hours, and MH and I were able to clean the entire house and do 3 loads of laundry. Bless you, child.
That balanced out the karma since I woke up to a flat tire. Greeeeeaaat...

K is napping, R is nursing/napping on me. I've tried to pump twice today and only pumped 4 oz total. Yet when R nurses I hear tons of swallowing and see lots of milk. Wtf pump?! I rely on you for at least the next 5 weeks. I need you to do your job.
