Im having a rough day. This baby cried a bunch, then little things just started going wrong (like my kids yogurt lid being an asshole). Then it got worse. I didn't want to go to the supermarket or cook so I had DH pick up a rotisserie chicken. He got home, parts of it weren't cooked through. He took it back and got a new one when he was picking up SD from soccer. Got home- also not cooked through. So gross.
pbandjelly - my pedi, who is great on many things, noted DD2's mild flat spot and ignored it until I brought it up. So it varies. I wouldn't assume until you ask.
Good to know. I thought checking for those was a given.

I can't stop eating. I am so hungry. Ended up making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with S2 tonight and they're fantastic. I ate six. I'm still hungry.

Just popping in to say I'm sorry I haven't been more involved recently. I feel like I've adapted well to mommy life, but the csection recovery has been rough. I've been doing too much and have really been paying for it today. I have a follow-up appt tomorrow. I just went to the bathroom and I'm a bit concerned I pulled my incision. Only time will tell I guess, have to watch it.
Me (30) MH (32) Dx: MFI (low all the things) M. 10/11. TTC Since 01/14 IUI#1-3(Letrozole + Trigger) = BFN Second Opinion. Changed RE's. IVF 09/15 Long Lupron 12R/9M/8F, Transferred 1=BFN. 4 frosties. FET #1 12/15 Transferred 1 (3 still on ice)
I'm just going to pop this in the randoms. We are going to Florida in Dec, so I need a one piece swimsuit to hide all my stretch marks. Do you think this one is too old/frumpy? I'm 31 and don't want to look like a granny.
DD is still struggling with either reflux or formula (or both) and I don't know what to do. It is heartbreaking when she screams hysterically on and off through her bottles. 😕 I hate all this trial and error.

DD3 wanted to go to bed at 7:30, but putting her PJs on woke her wide awake so we had evening fussies instead.
Only when I gave up on settling her and went downstairs to watch the Royals game with H did she chill out. I guess she was just mad I was keeping her from the ball game.
joy I ended up with a vacuum assist as well. Did you tear? Hope you're feeling ok!!
Yes - I had a second degree tear. I have no idea how many stitches I have because I was losing my shit over people still touching me after she was out. So many hands, so much pushing and pulling on me. I couldn't calm down with so many people all over me.

I love that and would totally have worn it as a teen/20's had this style been available. I've never worn a two peice, well since I was in single digits.

Ugh I did not like all the hands pushing and poking either. I yelled at the doctors to stop touching me several times, lol.

I ended up with two second degree tears - no fun. I'm sorry you had to deal with all those people touching you I'm also sorry to say that they will probably still come by to press on your uterus for a while...
I bought this spray that really helped me - it's the Earth Mama Angel Baby New Mama Bottom Spray (ugh what an annoying name). Anyways, that with tucks pads and padsicles felt really good to me. Also the peri bottle with warm water. Hope you heal soon!!
hannahbear Wow, that just made me realize that the super fancy hospital I delivered DS at didn't have padsicles! Glad I didn't need them this time around, I guess.
The pedi told me my kid is gaining too much weight. I really don't know what to do with this information...
I mean, I refuse to starve my child.
I just wanted to share my experience. DD was always in 99+% for weight until she started crawling. My pedi implied that I was feeding her too much, but I was nursing. I read that you can't over feed a breast fed baby and that breast fed babies are usually on the heavier end at the beginning. I took that advice to heart and as soon as DD started crawling, her little rolls evened out.

Re: overeating - DD1 was 95th percentile in height, 90th percentile in weight at 6 months and nursed frequently. I wondered regularly if she overate. No one ever was concerned (strangers did comment). It took until 2.5-3 for her to really lean out. Crawling and walking did not do it. Eventually her appetite changed and she did.
Can I bitch and whine for a minute? This time, not about still being pregnant, at least....
This week just seems to be the worst week to have a baby. I don't have a ton of reliable people in my life that we trust to watch DD. Of those who can, they are super schedule restricted. My one covers-all-time-even-overnight person is going in for surgery of her own tomorrow night and Wednesday, which I completely am not mad about, it was a surprise they could get her in so soon.
My mom is... weirdly unwilling to even attempt to rearrange things in her life to be able to come help except at certain times. I get that she has obligations, but I KNOW she could get help as a once off. As it stands, if I make it to induction on Friday, its happening so early in the morning that I will have to go to the hospital alone for several hours at least.
I know this isn't the end of the world and all, but it is just kind of emotionally painful to realize that my world is so small, I have no one to call in a pinch that I can trust to be there for me.
I just feel gross about it all. It doesn't help that my sense of impending doom is back really strong. I have been dealing with it since I got pregnant this time. Everything has been perfect so far, but now I am wondering when the luck runs out.
Sorry for the complaints, guys. Hug your smushy babies for me.
::hugs:: venyia. I was alone at the beginning of my induction. It wasn't awful. My body only needed cytotec to start contracting regularly.
My circle is also small and we have grandparents with odd schedules. We will end up in your position soon enough for some reason and it will be frustrating.
I hope everything works out for you. It will! One way or another, it will be okay.
You can do it, venyia! I was alone for part of my labor in the hospital. H went home to take care of the dog because we have no one here. I spent the hospital nights alone too (DD was in the NICU). Grandparents are 16-18 hrs away so we did what we had to do until they could fly down.
You will do whatever you need for that baby and soon you'll all be home together enjoying your little one!
