Being a mom is fucking hard. From little one getting stuck in labor, to some health issues, to hormones for days, it's been rough. I also can't breastfeed which makes me feel like a horrible mom (even though I believe and advocate that there's no wrong way to feed your baby)
Milestones?
We finally pooped! Baby wouldn't poop in the hospital (and rarely peed) and he just laid a huge one on us.
PIP those kiddos!
I will when I can figure out how...
QOTW: What was your first post baby splurge (food, alcohol, sone thing you bought, etc.) And why?
I've had a few...sushi was one of the best. It was as good as I remembered but I've also had to buy basically Medela's entire product line (which is not my favorite kind of splurge...)

Week/Fruit:
39 weeks, 2 days - Watermelon
How are you feeling?
Absolutely exhausted and sore. Sore back, sore hips, pelvic pressure, etc. Today I had a pretty bad headache - not sure if allergy related or what but it sucked.
Appointments/Updates?
next appt Thursday - hoping I've made some progress as I've been stuck at 2cm and 50% for the past 2 weeks...
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently?
I bought some fabric at Hobby Lobby on Saturday to make a car seat canopy. Today I pulled out all my other fabric so I can make some burp cloths, pacifier clips, bibs, and whatever else I have enough fabric for.
What have you done this week to get ready for baby?
I installed the car seat late last week. We've got the pack-n-play up, and I attached the flip-away changing table. I pulled out my Ring Sling, and will be washing it this evening or tomorrow, along with any other things I can get made for baby.
Rants/Raves:
I'm just tired of being pregnant... I don't remember being this miserable with my first two pregnancies, but those were 8 and 6 years ago, so maybe it's just that I'm older now... idk, but I don't like it...
QOTW: What do you want to eat as your first post baby meal (if you could have anything)?
I really haven't restricted my diet much, but I'm really looking forward to a glass of my favorite wine - Cupcake Vineyards Moscato d'Asti once I get home with baby.

PIP those kiddos!
QOTW: What was your first post baby splurge (food, alcohol, sone thing you bought, etc.) And why?
LOs age: 1 week, 1 day
Best part of your week: Meeting our son
Worst part of you week: Ugh. There were more "worst" parts than I expected: finding out he had jaundice and needed to be on bili lights four five days, taking him to the doctors every morning for blood work, r getting ridiculously engorged on day 2,realizing that BFing wasn't going well, going to the ER for clotting and a UTI...
Milestones: He's a week old and very close to his birth weight despite my sucky (or not sucky) BFing.
QOTW: I got my turkey hoagie!Two if the actually. I also have beer and white wine but I'm haven't had any yet because he has been cluster feeding.
@saiven - It sounds like we had similar weeks. Congrats on your baby boy! I'm so sorry that you've been struggling. I think we both need to remind ourselves that we're doing the very best that we can. Somehow at some point it will get easier. Hugs
milagros315 ugh, you have had quite a week. Congrats on your little guy, I was so freaking excited to see he was here! I'm all about taking things one day at a time right now...
