cavewmn I'm in the same boat, we have a never ending to do list, too. It's overwhelming. I've given up on cleaning the house at this point. It's futile with the toddler. Grocery shopping, is there a store that will deliver? Bills, I can't help with but I use an app called Prism to track and pay them.
We have a store that does online ordering and curbside pickup. I think it would be a pain to put together an order the first time, but then I could keep the regular items and modify a little each time. Then I'd just have to get the kids in the car, groceries and kids out of the car & into the house, & food put away...hmm still sounds like a lot right now.
Currently DH and DD are at the store this will have to work for a little bit. Fussy pants baby boy cries every time he's put down today so I'm about to put him in the ktan, throw some laundry in, and unload the dishwasher. Divide and conquer.

I know not everyone has it, but we've done Prime Now for groceries that couldn't wait. It's not cheap, but desperate times and all that.
I got my placenta pills last night from my doula and started taking them today. She was like you got sooo many! Over 200. I feel like a hippie but oh well.

DS insisted on going pantsless this afternoon. I'm pretty sure it's because baby L wasn't wearing pants ( just a onesie). DS also locked himself in the bathroom for the first time ever. This is just day 2, I sense good times ahead!

The girls have started giving us longer stretches at 6 weeks (magical unicorns that they are). DS was about 8 weeks and DD had milk issues and didn't sleep for more than 30 minutes at a time for a few months while the doctor tried to sell us on GERD and other issues before switching formulas.
DS had a fever earlier this week that I seem to have caught. So my whole body aches and I go from being freezing and shivering in sweat pants and shirt covered in blankets to sweating my ass off and practically stripping naked. No fun.
For some reason even though I had a c-section it still hurts when I poop.
Pain killers slow things down and can give you hard stool. I was taking 4 stool softeners a day and got major hemorrhoids which hurt like a...: well, you know. And major an surgery which means you can push things out all that well. It takes a while to get things moving and normal again.
Oh no housecarder!!! Feel better soon. Fevers suck
It sucks more that H kinda defaults to me. Like if I ask him to do something he will usually do it eventually, and he'll send me to nap and do great. But if I'm in the same room and the babies start to fuss he just sits there, expecting me to deal with it. I have a pretty high pain tolerance so I think he just doesn't realize how much I hurt right now. He'll make comments like "You are such a machine. Even sick you do so much." Well someone has to, and I'm tired of asking you 6 and 7 times to move the wet laundry over or to pick up your daughter who is crying while you play games on the iPad.
We are hanging out today. H took L to the waterpark this morning so S and I are just chilling out. S has had poop at almost every diaper change. The color looks good but I am waiting to see if the consistency changes. So far it's been yellow, slightly seedy but has also been somewhat stringy as well. I am thinking that the consistency being off is just because my supply isn't regulated yet.
I feel so scared all the time, like I am constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop and him start to cry and fuss nonstop like L did. I am really committed to BFing this time and I really really want S to be a happy baby. H doesn't want to talk about it but I know he feels the same way.
sarcaztic10 we are in the same spot with poop too. Ds2 is a little over a week old and it's yellow, but really sticky and stringy. It will change soon and we both will be complaining Of crazy blow out diapers!
We are currently out getting DS1 a haircut because we've got newborn photos and I want him to be in some pictures. I have no idea what they are going to wear, contemplating going to Carter's while we're in town here.
It's so different with this second baby. No way in hell I would have considered being out and about with a 3 day old when DS1 was born!
We had an awful sewer back up in our basement:( we have owned the house a whole 3 months and had the sewer inspected before we bought it. WTF. I can't wait to see what this costs
We are at my parents' house without DH. I just wanna cry. I want to be in my own house.
Ugh katelou that sounds miserable! Plumbing issues are the worst. I hope it's not too bad.
My doula just stopped by for a check in. I talked to her about L not taking my right breast and she gave me two tips and he latched immediately, of course, lol. I hope he continues to do that and it wasn't a "take your car to the shop and it stops making noise" type thing.

I just nursed DS2 and am sitting on the couch with my shirt up so my nipples can air dry. DS1 walks over, points to my nipple, and asks, "what's that?" I tell him and he says, "pull your shirt down." 5 minutes later, he comes over and pulls up my shirt asking to look at my boobs. Kids are funny! I'm not sure what he makes of breastfeeding.

Yay for him latching right away! I hope he keeps it up!

I haven't BFed in front of L yet because I know he will have so many questions. It still takes is some time for S to latch on so my nipple gets a lot of viewing time. I would like to cut that down some before I let him see.
