I think I am going to have sex today! I am almost five weeks pp and I feel fine. I am however terrified I remember how bad it was last time! Pray for me!
This is more if a confession... Little Man is almost 5 weeks old and he never did cluster feedings! Until 2 weeks old I fed him every 2 hours. After that he went to 3-4 hours in the day and 4-5 at night. I consider myself very lucky!

It's a long day in the BellaVida house hold. Kids are driving me crazy! The two older ones. Not listening and doing what their told. Owen is following them around so he can play, and screaming when they won't play with him. They need to just hurry and get their chores done and get outside to play!
My H is at work, and 3 pm can't come soon enough! I think it's wine o'clock.
Ugh I think I'm getting my first period since delivry and have a feeling it's going to be terrible.
WTH. I got mine today. I thought all this BFing would buy me few months period free. Dr said my period would return 3 months after I stopped BF. Not fair.
I have 4 little bears, just like my name says. 2 girls 2 boys ages 8,5,3, and my newest babe. 2 of my little bears have life threatening food allergies, feel free to ask me more about that!

Maybe this should have gone in the confession thread yesterday, but I know that I am crabbier than I should be around my H. It's just that every time we talk, he disregards how I feel. If I cry over anything, even if it's because I've had a rough day of screaming kids, he tells me I need to learn to suck it up and deal with it because I don't have a choice, and never offers me a hug or any sort of consolation. But, although he doesn't say this outright, HE doesn't want to deal with ANY of my emotions, unless they are pleasant. He blames it on being emotionally scarred from his relationship with SD's mother. And then he doesn't understand why i'm cranky, and says it must be because I'm turning out like my mom (who actually deals with severe depression and bipolar disorder, neither of which I have). I'm so frustrated. Any tips on how to talk to him are appreciated. Even if I need to simply be told to stop being so cranky. Maybe I need to change my attitude first. I can't control him, but I can control my own emotions. But I just want someone to talk to!
I can feel where you are coming from to a degree. My husband refuses to talk to me while I'm crying. It's really hard but sometimes I'll just out right tell him all I need is a hug and for him to just hold me. With him his problem is he doesn't know how to fix it (whatever is upsetting me) so he gets frustrated with me. I've told him many times I don't always need him to fix anything but for him to just tell me it will be ok. If we really can't talk it out while I'm crying I have gotten better at taking alone time to regroup and I will talk to him once I stop crying. Sometimes I s r art up crying again so I will stop talking collect myself and pick up where I left off. Not sure if this is helpful or not but you shouldn't hold feelings back. You will end up exploding on him!
Someone on one of the FB yard sale groups is selling a used 18M Burberry t-shirt with a hole in it for $40. I am admittedly cheap, but I don't even spend $40 on new t-shirts for myself.

Our family friend who came over to meet DD and try to take some family shots basically spent two hours being like a professional! I am so excited to see what she got (even if DS didn't cooperate in the slightest).
There's a post on the dump that would be some pretty good mud if things were normal over there. About her 1 month old baby with a fever
I have no clue who most of the posters there are now. I don't know if they are new or lurkers who now feel comfortable that all the regs left. I check it every so often for shits and giggles, but it's so so dead.

I find it kinda funny that a month ago, TB was constantly used and now? Well, they shot themselves in the foot!

I checked in and saw a few birth announcements with no comments. Almost feel bad for them. But if they creeped around they would know where to find the love.
I just cried in front of the lactation consultant at the hospital. I don't remember DS1 acting so frantic before my milk came in. Felix still isn't even two days old, so I hope my milk comes in this evening and he finally gets happy enough to sleep. I naively thought this would be easier the second time around, and in some ways it is, but in others it's so hard. And I'm surprised at how much it hurts again!
I also cried in front of the lactation consultants. The first three days were the worst for me, and then it got a little bit better. Hang in there!!!

What I was thinking too. When's the last time the first page went back for days and days. Not when we were there

We left LO with my MIL for an hour today to go have lunch and buy me some nursing tops and bras. Even though we've told her several times that size 1 diapers are too big for Fiona and packed newborns for her to use, she put her in one (since she bought a huge pack at Costco) and had to deal with a major poop explosion. I don't want to sound like a bitch, but she always assumes she's right about everything so it kinda made me happy to have her admit she was wrong about this.
What a day....snuck out this am to go to grocery store, fist time driving since c section and it was nice to just be out on my own...stopped in at tanning place and spent ten glorious minutes in the heat /fake vitamin d! It was glorious! I haven't gone in like three years but honestly I've been feeling so frumpy, my skins been breaking out etc and the weather has been so miserable I figured it couldn't hurt to try and see if it helped! And it did! While I won't be doing this on the regular bc I know it's not good for you, in super happy I went and have some color back! But dh went back to work today and man it is tough having two under two! My dd always loved the swing but ds isn't as obsessed and just wants to be held....and I wanna oblige but my daughter needs constant supervision and attention and she's been acting up a lot lately (terrible twos come early) so I feel like I'm about to snap. He had finally fallen asleep on me and she poured ice on him and I....I'm not saying she did it on purpose but I was dosing and the ice on him and I really shocked me and I didn't react well. So I put both in their cribs and shut the door so I could walk away from the situation. Of course they were both screaming and I felt like the worst parent ever....but I needed that ten minutes to cool off....parenting is tough
I naively thought this would be easier the second time around, and in some ways it is, but in others it's so hard. And I'm surprised at how much it hurts again!
This. I thought it would be a breeze the second time around. Was I wrong. But I will say that some parts were easier and now 2 weeks pp it is easy better
My mil got a stomache bug on the 27th and father in law on the 28th my mom left on the first so honestly it was fine that mil wanted to be on the safe side and not come around to see kids...but now it's the 7th...and she still hasn't come by to see kids or check on me or help out at all...and I'm pissed. She knows her son works shitty hours and that I had major surgery two weeks ago but she doesn't text to ask how I am or if she can help out?! My mom lives four hours away, she lives ten minutes, apparently she texted dh last night and said she was coming by...he felt bad bc we had plans and told her we wouldn't be home. I was like why would you feel bad the woman hasn't checked in on us for weeks, he tried to say she was really sick, yea two weeks ago, and she couldn't just check in to see how I am...he told me to call her tonight for help, I told him I'm honestly over it, we always are doing everything for his family and if she can't check in on me and the kids I am certainly not reaching out to her...maybe I sound ridiculous but I'm annoyed and i don't like asking for help and I have trouble even accepting it when people offer but this is my husbands mother....she should be around to help out and I think it's bullshit
Oh and my damn incision is killing me lately...I stopped taking the Percocet like the week of the surgery but had to start taking it again yesterday bc the pain is almost unbearable...I'm guessing it's bc I've been lifting my dd who is like 30 Lbs but I don't have much of an option bc like I said...I have no damn help!!!!
