Speaking of mom guilt: ds bashed his face into the coffee/train table while I was making tea. His nose is definitely a little swollen. I'm trying to decide if it's a tad crooked now. There was no blood, he cried for a couple of minutes, didn't fuss just now when I squeezed it about two hours later, he still sounds like Darth Vader from his cold so I can't tell if it's messed with his breathing...I'm leaning towards not broken? I know my anxiety is jacked right now because of pregnancy but talk about intense and nausea inducing mom guilt about his cute little face being ruined.
Oh my. *hugs* to all of you dealing with little midget jerks in your house. They will be fine, but I can't even imagine how hard it is to put on a happy mommy face.
My H has joined everyone elses H from yesterday that came up with a man cold. He didn't want to go to my appt today because he "had a headache" and now he's in bed. No sniffles, no cough, just a headache and he "feels weak". Grow a set man.
I've been having cramps and half assed contractions so I'm back to sitting on the exercise ball hoping it will encourage something but not actually expecting anything.
I feel like this about the jaundice too. And whenever someone comments on his size.
In general I'm feeling much better than I was over the weekend but the anxiety is still there, especially over sleep. I just can't relax or nap, especially during the day. I feel like the second I do the baby will need me. Like I can't turn off at all
It's supposed to go away on its own, right? As long as they're having good diaper output?
At the pedi today she said there is such thing as breastfeeding jaundice; they mainly look at the whites of their eyes.

Poor W had to get both heels pricked for his Hep B today because the first one didn't bleed long enough. The sticks startled him so much both times that he pooped both times. It was nasty.

My FIL had the day off and came by to help dh assemble the new changing table. They surprised me and put the whole nursery together! Now we just need to hang up the decor and put shit away in the dresser.
I just wrapped DS up in my boba wrap and my heart might explode. I love this so much.
Confession time! I'm having massive mommy guilt. I have zero patience for DS1's antics. I know it's normal to feel this way given my hormones being crazy and having low energy levels. But I feel like it's taking a toll on our relationship and I hate it.
+1 so much. I have zero patience with DD and I hate it. I want to be the patient fun understanding mommy again. After DD does something, she's said a few times lately "mama that makes you sad or happy?". I know it's her way of judging what kind of mood I'm in and i feel so bad that she feels like she needs to walk on eggshells.
Hugs ladies. It's tough but i guess normal given were all going through similar things. Try not to be to tough on vourselves...
So, DS2 had his tongue tie clipped this morning. He did great, only a little bit of bleeding and he only cried for 10 sec after (he was more upset before because hangry).
It's early but I'm a little discouraged there isn't the immediate improvement DS1 had after his revision. He's still compressing my nipples, maybe not quite as much. Hopefully we can adjust over the next couple of days and a visit to the BF group tomorrow will hey us some help...
MissDemeanor, we have no good snacks or treats in the house. I really want oreos now...

Wwj17d R has given me little to no sleep all last night and today, lots of screaming and crying. I finished feeding him, swaddled him, and stuck him in the swing in my bathroom so I could take a shower even if he screamed through it. Well he fell asleep. I don't want to move the swing with him in it and Our bathroom door is too skinny to bring it out w/o turning it sideways anyway. Do I leave him in the bathroom and hope for a good stretch of sleep so I can sleep too OR do I risk waking him and move him to the bassinet. The bathroom is 4 feet from my bed and I will hear him when he wakes up.

Which do we like better for Finley's room? The top one comes in white, gold, silver or navy. The bottom one is just gold. His room is printed light blue, and furniture is white.

I like the non-pattern of the second but I think I'd want white stars, depending on how light blue the walls are, so I'd go with the first.

Haven't caught up, but chipping in here. meeggaannw and heybulldog56, when you can't do a weighed feed rightnow!!!...A good indicator of whether you're producing is counting wet diapers. By the time they're a week old, I think they should consistently have about 6 per day

judyblume14, I'm going to request a weighed feed at pedi today. His diaper output has been great. We were shy of the goal by one yesterday. Today seems better but it could be the formula from supplementation. I guess there's really no way to tell except the weighed feed. I'm hopeful he's gained weight and we can stop formula. I'm sure that will then reveal more about my supply.
