My family is coming to visit next week which will be great since we haven't seen them since Jan, but it's probably going to put a crimp in my usual sitting around essentially half naked with a baby on my boob which is what my days look like. Because while I have no problems with strangers seeing my boobs somehow the idea of my Dad seeing them is less okay.
Although it won't be as bad as if my ILs actually come to visit the week after like they say they might (seriously it's two weeks away and you still can't tell me if you're coming when we live halfway across the country so it's not just a 20 min drive but requires actual planning? But that is a whole other vent)
DD and I went out to Hobby Lobby (my favorite place) for a few minutes. I needed to get recipe cards for my sister's bridal shower invitations. I would have stayed longer, but DD was done. Oh well, I stopped at Starbucks on the way home, so win for me.
As for PP sex, yeah, we've done it 2 or 3 times. Wasn't that great for me, but I honestly felt bad since I was on pelvic rest for the pregnancy, so I did it more for DH. It was better the second time, so I have hope. It's just hard to find the time when I could be sleeping.
Question for you all- any suggestions on tv shows or movies that are entertaining to watch while I'm bf? I have Netflix and Amazon prime. I just finished Jane the Virgin, unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, The Ranch, and dead like me for example of what I like.
I've made it through all of Downton abbey. It was enjoyable.

No pp sex yet here but I'm at 4 weeks today. Last time lots of lube helped and it was uncomfortable for a couple of months. After about a year it was back to normal.
ETA. I've been nip from the beginning this time and haven't minded. I always use a cover though and will try to nurse in my car before going in if possible because in private is easier than public.

I tried nursing in the car once and was so uncomfortable! I kept jamming my elbow (and once the baby's head) into the door. Maybe I'd get the hang of it eventually but I'm a city person - I'm only ever in a car if we're on a trip.

I'm on the last episode then I'm moving on to finish Boardwalk Empire. If I finish that I'll start The Wire.
I was in bed all day yesterday with a 103 fever... But finally was able to talk to my doc and have been on antibiotics since last night... I feel so much better!
Since getting sick (Sunday night), the babies have been feeding every two hours like clockwork, which means I get all my sleep in one hour increments. I'm really really hoping this is a short phase.
No pp sex for me. I have a bit of a sex drive but we just have no time. Juggling four kids is hard!
I'm sooooo sorry! Is it mastitis?
I think so, antibiotics has really helped. Now my boob is all blistered though from the constant feeding kind of ready for these kids to grow up a bit!

On Netflix I have been watching 30 Rock (awesome and similar to Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) again. Also watching The Office again, there are a ton of episodes. On Amazon I liked Catastrophe and Schitts Creek.
We're having a rough 48 hours. No sleep, just screaming and when he does get to sleep he wakes up in two seconds unless he's being held. I'm hoping this is a short phase.
txmommy14 we've had sex twice. I'll be 6 weeks on Thursday. I had no tearing or anything so it's been enjoyable for both of us. Also I have the milk snob but haven't tried it. I guess I should.
If you haven't watched mr robot that's a great show. The second season just started.

I'm the same way. I could care less if strangers see my boob and just cover up for other people's comfort not my own. Something about my dad though makes it weird and uncomfortable. I will say my dad is very respectful and will leave the room or lok away. This time I had so much trouble healing and they were at our house right after the baby so I just sort of blocked myself with pillows and my dad looked away.

So. We had the weirdest waitress at dinner. After she asked me how old L is, she would not stop going on about how brave we were. I'm assuming she meant going out but she's an infant, wtf do you think is going to happen? Then as she's setting my glass of wine down in front of me, she looks at me with my kid on my tit and is like "oh, are we pumping and dumping?" The fuck?
Idk. Very dear diary post but I felt like you were the only people who might find this as annoying as I did.

I feel like a whole new woman now that I found a bottle DD will take. Tonight after dinner DS and I went to the mall while DH stayed home with DD. It was nice to get out with just my sweet guy. We had to get shoes for Sunday for DD's christening. When we got there we got to see a rainbow, it was nice.

I nurse anywhere and everywhere. Today was at the DMV in a super crowded waiting room, in the car, at dd's dance studio lobby... Baby's gotta eat.
DH and I have been having sex since 4 weeks pp. I stopped bleeding around 3 weeks, and I didn't tear. We didn't have "clearence" from my OB yet - but bc I didn't tear I figured I was good to go. We don't normally use lube - but I need it for the first year while I'm nursing. (Hint: coconut oil is the best, imo). It's been not as often as normal, but great.

I'm okay with breastfeeding in public but feel odd doing it at home in front of family. My sil was here for a week and I'd be breastfeeding privately in my room and she'd come in and say oh, are you being s good eater or is he eating? I was weirded out. I obviously wanted privacy which is why I was in my room. My dad is coming in a couple weeks and I'll just cover myself. He'll probably leave to room as well.
Also, feel you on In laws planning skills. Mine still don't have a trip planned and they won't let us know until a week before, like usual.

How do you even respond to that??
Right?! For a split second I felt like I needed to explain myself before I was like "lol fuck this lady" and ignored her.
