I know BM is good for pink eye and ear infections, so i thought i would give it a shot!

Did it work for you? My family probably thinks I'm nuts, I squirt boob juice on dd's bum to keep it from getting rashes. And around her eye to get rid of her little white head she got. Seems to work.

I'm really pissed today because DH got a call saying they wouldn't perform his vasectomy until DD is one because of SIDS risk. If my daughter died of SIDS, she could not be replaced. I think it's awful. Now it's back on me to get some sort of birth control. The mini pill is not effective enough for me. I basically want abstinence level effectiveness while still being able to have sex!

Did they use the word "replaced"? That in of itself is disgusting and awful to me. I would find a new doctor immediately. This just seems wrong.

Refusing to do it seems illegal to me, informing of SIDS risk is one thing but the decision of procreating is not for a medical provider to make. This seems weird to me.

I agree! If we had the $ laying around I'd probably get a lawyer, because it seems so wrong to me. I am going to talk to my doctor for advice.. I'm really pissed that now it's up to me, again. Always the woman.. (because ew, condoms)

[rachelilly23]

Maybe it's just me, but I'm all about condoms. So much easier clean up. Why the heck not?

B will be 8wks on Thursday, and we haven't had sex yet. Nor do I have any desire to. We still aren't sleeping in the same bed so H hasn't really even tried.

Have I mentioned we're basically just roommates?

[xxkimmy8xx]

Called my OB BC I couldn't remember when my apt was this week. E will be 6 weeks tomorrow. Apparently it's not till next Thursday! One more week of not having sex or coming up with an excuse not to! Way to have amazing foresight overly hormonal, delusional post parteum Kim!

[cinnamonsmiles]

Anyone else have any bleeding/a period yet PP? I went about a week and a half dry before having random bleeding episodes. Not filling a pad by any means but definitely more than spotting. Just curious because it was not this way with DS.

This is pretty similar to what I experienced. I want to say it was around the 6 week mark and lasted 5 days, so I thought it could have been a period. Still not sure. My OB did my pap when I had my pp visit, so I think it could have been triggered by that? But why would it have lasted that long? Anyway, no bleeding since about 7 weeks. K was 8 weeks yesterday.

Right there with you. A will be 10 weeks on Thursday. Timing worked out that pretty much as soon as I was cleared, DH got his vasectomy and is still recovering from that. I'm completely ok with it. Nursing completely kills my sex drive. With DS it was about 3 weeks after I weaned him and things got better. Then I was pregnant with A 2 weeks later. Lol

This was literally the exact same scenario for me, only DD3 is 10 weeks now. I'm hoping it wasn't my period. I guess I'll find out by the end of this month if I'm already back on track with that... ugh.

I am ready but we have literally only had 30 minutes of alone time when both kids are sleeping. Eliza Jane is 10 weeks and doesn't have an early bedtime yet. She's getting that way so I think the light at the end date of the tunnel is near. I'm ready to be able to put the kids to bed and then have some time just the two of us. I miss that but I know it's just a short stage and it will pass.

Things are weird this time for me too. With dd1 I only bled like 3 weeks I think? This time I keep thinking things are clearing up and then bam back to red blood. I'm 6 weeks out.
I don't think it's my period though because I don't have any period symptoms. I freaking hope not. Last time I didn't get my period back til I fully weaned at 9 months

I got a flat tire yesterday. I noticed my tire pressure light on yesterday morning and drove the boys to where they needed to go during the day. When I went to get something out of the car at 5, I noted it was flat and had a nail in it. AAA put thr spare on. So here I sit with K at Goodyear. Hope it doesn't take up my whole morning...

At least if it's just a nail, should be a quick patch.  That sucks though, hope you're not stuck there long.

It's only 10am and I'm already done with today.  Bear is super clingy and grumpy(er) than normal after his jabs yesterday, and Bird is uncharacteristically jealous that I'm holding his brother all day.  But poor kid is going stir crazy.  We were stuck in a week because of smoke from a forest fire, then another week for pouring rain.  Hell, I'm going stir crazy too.  Yesterday, I texted my best friend to talk about whether Ainsley or Stevie on Hi-5 House is hotter.



Ainsley, BTW.

W laughed for the first time Monday night. Of course, he has not done it since despite my ridiculous attempts. I just want to film it. I don't feel like I'm asking for a lot.

I've been trying to catch a smile on camera for a couple weeks but my little guy isn't cooperating either!

[sunshineshades]

So oddly my ob recommends I get a tubal ligation over dh getting a vasectomy. Apparently it decreases your chance of ovarian cancer by 50%.
I'm not really sure what I think about that. We were set on the V. He says recovery for me would be a week. .. decisions decisions.

[rachelilly23]

K napped from 9-12 this morning, so she was awake from noon until 2:30. It was rough getting her back down. I'm sleepy, but DS2 is wild. DS1 has lego club at school until 5, so I'm tempted to nap.

at LO's 2 month check up today there was a 5 year old boy in the waiting room with his dad. His dad had a beard and the boy told me he didn't have one because he was only 5. So I asked him when he would have one. And he said, "when I'm a grown up, but I'm just gonna shave my face beard off. I'll leave my penis beard though". LOL the entire waiting room lost it.

*raises hand* 

I was sure I had my period but it only lasted two days and barely went through a super light tampon. So now I have no idea wtf it was.

So I used to think how could I possibly know if LO has diarrhea bc baby poop is so runny. But now I definitely know.

Ya. She had her shots yesterday. She is ok though. She had a mini fever last night but it's gone. The diarrhea seems to be getting a little better hopefully ta out of her system soon!

I just got the official form detailing my dock in pay during the summer because I didn't have nearly enough days to cover maternity leave. Because teacher pay is spread out to cover the summer it's not just that I don't get paid while off. It bleeds into summer a lot. If you need me this summer I'll be camping in the backyard eating bologna sandwiches. I knew it was coming but holy shit. ??

My sil discovered E had pieces of my hair wrapped tightly around a finger Tuesday night. E still has an indent around her finger from it. So a reminder to check fingers and toes. It was wrapped super tight and a little swollen. Thankfully not too bad yet. She'd been cranky all day and it made me wonder if that was the cause.

Thanks for this. I have long hair and baby boy grabs on to it. I try to pull it back but sometimes I forget. I read about the father who's baby got a hair wrapped around its toe and it was pretty bad.

"pain and agony of parenthood"

Give me a fucking break. Yes, parenting is hard as fuck, and there I times where I wonder what the heck I was thinking having a kid, but agonizing? No. Not even in the slightest. If someone said to me that that was how they felt about being a parent all the time, then I would seriously suggest counseling, as that screams of severe depression.
