I have spent a tremendous amount of time trying to understand how my kid is folded up inside, where his head is relative to my pelvis, how feeling his movements tell me if he's posterior or anterior, and a hundred other things.
Spinning Babies is ruining me.

If it helps, I am 99% sure DS was posterior. I felt lots of movement in front and my labor was definitely all back labor. Still, even at over 8lbs, DS turned right around when coming through the birth canal. I was seriously worried beforehand that his size (they estimated he'd be about 9lbs) plus his positioning would mean an emergency c-section, but nope!
Can anyone recommend. Good breastfeeding app? I would like one that will keep up with what time, how long, and which side. Extra brownie with ice cream and syrup if it will also help me keep track of when I took pain meds, and alert to when it's time to the them again.
Sorry, I haven't gotten a chance to read through the last few days of threads. But huge congratulations to all the new babies! They are so wonderfully special and especially exhausting.
countrycotton, I use Total Baby. There's an alert section where you can create reminders. Hope that you are getting some rest out there.
I have legit gone crazy. H is taking a nap during the actual 2 hours dd4 takes a nap. She has been horrible sleeping since we came home from the hospital but so would I if my abdominal wall had been cut into.. Dd3 is being horrendous and refusing a nap. 1 and 2 are playing their kindle. I know it is hard working, but ffs it is hard keeping a premie quiet so everyone else can sleep. I need sleep. But he never wants to hold her more than 5 minutes. I think the nicu killed daddy bonding for sure. I.just.need.sleep. 'It is only temporary' keeps running through my head. I can do this. Someone please say something inspiring because I'm at the end of my rope. I just need sleep to make it all better :,( ps. And then baby 3 decided to finally poop in the potty as her final part of training. Love, happiness and sorrow + PP hormones = a lot of emotion. I'm not looking for anything, just venting at this point. I'll get it together soon.

Oh man kokopelli! You need a break! Wake hubs up at the one hour mark and say MY TURN!!
"This too shall pass" and "You are the whole world to these tiny littles".
It's hard with two, so you have super hero status with your hands full over there.

I am feeling not quite end of my rope, but insanely demoralized. DD3 is waking up and can't do light sleep on her back at nap any more, so no more putting her down for a nice daytime 2 hour snooze. I wanted to avoid the RnP due to DD2's flat spot - I can feel a spot DD3 has that is already prone to flattening and I don't want to go that route. DD2 is very 2 - her tantrums are waking DD3. Argh! A friend is bringing a loaner swing tomorrow but DH hates swing sleep. I feel stuck.
I will say, kokopelli, that DH did not bond well with DD2 at first. It was tiring, but she is now totally Daddy's girl and they have a good bond.

Omg I swear I know how to spell. Was trying to type whilst bouncing the baby
I just want to curl into a ball and have a good cry. This too shall pass...this too shall ass.... .....
I want to hug you so bad and take your kid for a couple hours, so you can have that time to do what you need for you.
If you need to take am extra five minutes to attend to your baby, maybe you do. It's a hard job you're doing. A very, very hard job. It's okay to ask--no, DEMAND--help from your partner. Even if it's "your job" to attend the kids, you need to be well-cared for, too.
Do something selfish for 60 seconds, just for you. Anything. Drink a glass of water, read a paragraph of something, listen to part of a song. 60 seconds of selfish isn't going to make or break anyone, but it will do wonders for you.
I have an adult sippy cup of wine because that's how our night is going. I think DD finally calmed down (*knocks on wood*), but she was screaming and crying with gas before.
I was making the night bottles and I thought H had stored our extra can of formula somewhere and didn't tell me. Nope. Our piggy is just going through formula a lot faster now So I need to go get more. The NICU had her on Neosure and it only comes in the small cans so we need a new one every 2-3 days now.
Maybe that painful cervical check this morning did something after all? I have already been losing chunks of mucus plug for weeks, but now I am starting to lose brown blood streaked mucus bits, too. Hooray for cervical irritation?
We discovered what our punk-ass neighbor is actually up to with all manner of sketchy mthrfckers in and out of the building at all hours... that bastard is smoking/dealing crack over there. For the moment there isn't much we can do, but the guy renting the second commercial space is on it after punkass and his buddies dented their car. We shall see if he is successful in raising enough hell to help get this guy evicted.
This neighbor moved in back in march then went to jail 4 days later for a month for auto theft. They tried to hide the stolen car in our carport. We had cops crawling our whole building the next morning. Pretty much this guy is bad news bears and gives no fucks about rules. Landlord.... apparently doesn't want to deal with eviction proceedings. Sigh.
