I've been dealing with some major ppd and ppa since hazel was born. I didn't feel like this after Everlie. My mom took E for the night bc she's off tomorrow. And DH just took hazel to pick up pizza. He'll only be gone 20 mins or so but I'm so grateful that he's thoughtful enough to take her with him so that I can have even a small break from someone being on me at all times. I love my babies but I'm so touched out lately and am thankful for the short break.
I would be running naked through the house.. That way clothes aren't even touching you. Hugs, Mama. It ain't easy but you're doin it!
Is it pimply at all? You may need a rx for Nystatin.
I don't think. There are like two or three tiny areas that are redder than the other. Is Nystatin for yeast? I have lotrimen from when he had it bad last winter when he had bad diarrhea.
Usually, yes. But my ped usually prescribes it when ds gets an antibiotic because he always gets nasty rashes from the abx.

Poor J, @mrspanpan I hope the butt paste helps. We're lucky that P has not been prone to diaper rash, but at one point, she did get a bad one, and extra strength Desitin + a layer of coconut oil on top did the trick. We did that on the advice of her daycare teacher.

amberlie I totally feel for you. I honestly can't imagine how tired you must be with a newborn and an Everlie. You know it's going to turn into a well oiled machine once the difficult newborn days are over, so it's just getting through these rough parts -- I'm glad you're getting help and the occasional micro break.
M has been getting his canines for exactly forever. Teething has always been our discussing drawn out hell. For normal teeth its taken generally two months minimum for them to break through.
Ditto here. J's came in pretty much all at the same time and he basically didn't have time to get fussy. I swear C's take 3-4 months to poke through after we see them pushing up the gums. It takes foooooorrrrrrreeeeevvvvveeeeerrrrr. I didn't get my wisdom teeth out until I was in college, so now I'm wondering if I put my parents through similar teething hell. I feel like karma demands that I had to.

amberlie I'm glad you're getting a break. It's so hard to have 2 littles. Especially I feel like E didn't sleep well for you so you never got a restorative break before H. Don't be too hard on yourself. Being touched out is a real thing. Have you got any medication for the ppd/ppa? With school and two babies you've got a lot on your plate!
packmomma I missed what happened and why you're pursuing a lawsuit, but I'm so sorry you're feeling like you're not being heard. People file suits pro se (without legal counsel) pretty regularly, so the courts are used to it. If you really feel like you want to push forward, that's definitely an option. I don't know how many attorneys you consulted, but it's worth asking a few more what they think. Just keep in mind whatever the applicable statute of limitations is (usually between 1 and 3 years for personal injury, which is what it sounds like you have), so you know you're filing in time.
Yeah tuscanlatte E was/is a shitty sleeper. We ended up having to sleep train her about a month ago bc no one was getting any sleep. We backtracked this week bc she was sick.. she's been with in my room for the past 3 days.
My dr started me on Zoloft last Friday. So far, it's all side effects and no relief so this week has actually been harder than others. I'm hoping that changes.
I'll start classes again for the first time since H was born on Monday and I'm nervous about managing everything.
All this cake talk... I hate you guys. I went to the doctor today and apparently I gained six pounds since my last appointment a few months ago. She gave me "the look" when she said it. I hate feeling so judged about my weight. It's the #1 reason I avoid going to the doctor. I cried in the car after my appointment. And now I want cake, but I know I shouldn't eat the cake, but I really want the cake!

amberlie I remember your posts about E's sleep because it reminded me so much of my DS. It took me 3 years to recover from that shit!! I hope the meds actually start working soon.

joi922 sorry about the cake haha. I am a fast weight gainer and loser so it seems like it goes all over the place but never stays still. I am very familiar With that look.
packmomma , oh no, I am so sorry! Can you find a new one?
The paralegal basically said we could shop around but unless we file on our own (which we may) it's just not worth it. I feel so impacted by this (still in pain, have had to up meds, and not sleeping) and she tells me it's not worth their time. Cool beans lady. I may have cried when I got off the phone. It just feels so invalidating.
It is totally invalidating. You've been through something traumatic and the people responsible for that have not taken responsibility at all.
Could you go through small claims court? I have no idea how that works, but from what you see on TV, maybe that would have potential?

Dealing with two babies is way different than dealing with one. There's often no break, which can escalate depression and anxiety. I'm glad you're able to get 20 minutes of peace and quiet tonight. Have you been able to get them on the same nap schedule? I'm guessing not based on your earlier posts today. That afternoon nap time is the only thing that saves my sanity. That and help from my husband so I can get some alone time.
Can your H watch the kids so you can go out somewhere by yourself this weekend?
aydee nowhere near the same nap schedule. E takes one nap (usually) but her sleep has been all over the place since H was born. H isn't on any sort of schedule yet. She usually only sleeps when held. I think I'll feel better after tomorrow. My mom will have E until DH gets off and we go pick her up so I can catch up on sleep whenever H takes naps.
Oh man amberlie, I'm glad you got s break and will have a chance to catch up on sleep today. I hope you get more opportunities to get some down time, especially with school starting. Hugs.
amberlie, I'm glad you're getting a break. It's super important. I had some nasty PPD with dd and it was definitely rough. We are here for you. Just know that, and vent as you need.
I was kept up some extra time last night due to 3 helicopters hovering overhead. Turns out El Chapo caught a nice extradition flight to the US and basically drove passed my house.
