I'm trying acetominophen and caffeine today so I can still pump and feed my kid. Looking at my computer screen makes it worse so I'm relegated to my phone when I can get to it.
I learned yesterday that my nips were too small for the shields sent with my breastpump. Who knew you could get other sizes?! I've gone down one size and ::fingers crossed:: pumping becomes more efficient.
joy the headaches are rough here too. The pedi said I could go back on the preventative but didn't seem so sure. Then I called a hotline (thanks again dc2london) and they said it was up to me. It crosses into the milk quite a bit. They said the reported side effect was belly related, but my kid can't exactly tell me if he feels out of it or has tingly hands or feet so I'm skipping it I'm wondering if it's hormones adjusting, I remember feeling like this before I started the preventative. A background headache all the time with migraines popping in here and there
Long story short- I'm sorry you're going through this, headaches and migraines are the worst.
There's 35% off coupons on Amazon for huggies snug and dry, little snugglers, and wipes. You can only use one of each, but can combine it with the Amazon moms 20% off diaper subscriptions deal
Thanks, steph. What is your preventative? I was on nadalol but my neuro won't approve that while breastfeeding. However, breastfeeding isn't going so well for me so maybe it just doesn't matter.
I'm blaming shifting hormones for this particular, throbbing and never-ending headache. Today, I muddled through with tylenol and caffeine, but it's been on the edge of getting out of control all day. I'm sad - I want take care of my kid and be with my husband.

A study shows that pacifier use in term babies doesn't affect the duration of breastfeeding (https://www.readbyqxmd.com/read/27572944/effect-of-restricted-pacifier-use-in-breastfeeding-term-infants-for-increasing-duration-of-breastfeeding).

We officially have started witching hour. And my toddler thinks she should scream since her sister is. And I've had a sinus headache for days thanks to the pressure from the storm system. Send wine.

Oh no. I sincerely hope R doesn't get witching hours. M is good at sleeping when he cries, but not falling asleep if he cries.
joy I was on topamax and loved it. Some people say it makes them feel out of it, but I felt okay. The side effects weren't too bad, but I started small and upped the dosage gradually. It was a life changer for me. I had 15-20 headache days plus about 3 kill me now migraines a month, topamax brought those numbers down so much. They got worse during my pregnancy for a bit, then got better. Now we're heading back to where i was before starting the meds

S2 screams when S1 does. I'll ask him why he is crying and he says "because my brother is sad, I'm sad." And then he will proceed to wail. It's kinda funny/sweet when I can tune it out.

Re- soother the hospital this time around didn't have any!!! We convinced one nurse to sneak us one but we have two babies lol so had to go out and buy one! Seriously my nipples were cracked and bleeding but noo you can't have a soother!!
DD1 is testing my patience this morning. "I didn't call you stupid, mommy. I said stu...pid!" She is totally following in her lawyer daddy's footsteps, she tries to talk her way out of everything!
If anyone has a Meijer by you, they are having a great baby sale. You get a $10 coupon back when you spend $50 in the baby section. Plus there is a $10 when you spend $50 pampers mperks reward, in addition to the mperks baby rewards. Hoping to stock up today.
We are off to the hospital in an hour for s battery of tests to be sure R is okay for surgery tomorrow. He won't be able to nurse a few hours prior to surgery and I worry he will cry out of hunger. I also have a ton of other worries, though I'm relieved he can get the repair his heart needs.
coffeequeen14 M will be at home with my parents. They bought her a trike that came yesterday so hopefully that keeps her busy!
