Morning ladies! I got two 3 hour stretches last night, so I now feel like a human being. I think I've figured out how to do this whole two kids thing for now. At least while Jo spends 90% of her time sleeping. Now how I'm going to integrate my business into all of this is a whole other story.
I'm getting around to writing my birth story, but I'm still feeling emotional about it. Sooo, not sure when I'm going to get around to that. I hope everyone has a good day!
If labor stalls and I don't have a baby today, I'm going to lose my mind. Been having painful contractions every 8 minutes all night long. It's only 5am so I've been trying to rest/sleep, but it's difficult.
And random, but is pressure/pain on your butt part of labor? Do not remember that with my son, but every contraction causes major pain in my butt. Fun.
rungirlrun are you home or at the hospital? I had a lot of pain in my butt during labor. When it was time to push it was unmistakably different, but it was all in my butt. I didn't have that with DS1
We are home alone today. DH went back to work and I got very teary. My BFF is coming over in an hour so our bigs can have a play date. I have a milk soaked shirt and haven't brushed my teeth yet. Fun times.

I'm at home. Trying to stay home as long as possible. And my body is known to stall labor so not rushing anywhere until it's really time. Butt labor pain is no fun! Sorry you had it too.
As for me, I'm nursing Sam, hoping he'll give me a couple extra hours of sleep afterwards. Not crossing my fingers though since he was very fussy all night and up constantly. Ugh, mommy just wants some sleep...

Both girls are asleep and DS is lying next to me on the couch watching shows on the iPad. I'm debating if it's worth the risk of him being unsupervised to nap. Probably not.

We've been cluster feeding since 5:00am. My nips. My poor nips.
Date night was fun last night. I pounded 2 beers and ate my little heart out with fajitas and then scarfed a chocolate dipped soft serve ice cream cone. Was gone only 2 hours and felt so weird to not have my tiny human along! But very nice to have adult time just H & I.
DS won't sleep in the rnp at night. He'll be perfectly happy and asleep on me, I put him down, get back into bed, and he starts fussing and eventually crying. It's infuriating. He prefers to sleep all curled up on his belly on one of us, which is not great for our sleep. Hoping pedi thinks gas drops or gripe water will help or has another suggestion.

Same here. DS has slept overnights on me or MH since he was born. I mentioned it at his pedi appt and she just shrugged it off and said he will sleep solo as time passes. 😒
Ohhh man, I thought pregnancy was glamorous, parenthood is even more so! Finished feeding Sam and he was laying in my arms, out of nowhere threw up alllll down my side. Just lovely. So I had to clean myself up, anything else it got on, and am now feeding him again.

Some days I feel I would rather wear a trash bag. Easier clean up and less laundry. DS gives me enough laundry to do, ha.

Still in the hospital. Right now I am holding S and trying to hold off on BFing until the LC comes. I want to make sure he has a good latch, especially on my right side because my nipple hurts like a handful of needles are being shoved into it when he feeds.
He woke up about every 2.5 hours last night to eat and this morning has only lost a few ounces! I really don't like the pedi that is seeing to him here. He keeps reminding to work on breastfeeding...
Things I forgot about, babies move a lot and make a lot of noise when they sleep...

A was the exact same way until we started tightly double swaddling her again. We had stopped for a while because she was fighting it but it looks like we weren't getting it snug enough to keep her arms on. She (and I) have been sleeping much better since.

I have another OB appointment today. They'll try another membrane sweep and if that doesn't work I guess I am in for another induction. At least he will be here soon!
I am feeding again. DH wants to try bottle feeding all night to see how much he's eating. He thinks he's waking up every 2-3 hrs because he's it getting enough. I think he's waking up that often because he's a baby lol. He brought up trying formula because it will make him more full but I really don't want to do that.
