Hugs to all of you awesome mamas making the adjustments. It won't be like this forever, just take it one minute at a time.
As for the pibble house, my manchild is most certainly dying. I slept on the couch last night to not catch the death germs. I went for a massage this morning and came back home and his "back is hurting from sleeping so much." Oh fucking well. Must be nice to sleep that much. Meanwhile my massage was awesome but my hip and pubic bone are killing me. I would like to take a nap, but there are animals to feed and more work to think about maybe doing. Still having off and on contractions that lead nowhere, and my cervix occasionally feels like it's just going to let go. It would be my luck for her to debut when H can't handle life.

It's the worst when the man child is sick. And before I stopped them, those massages were the only things that didn't keep me from killing someone some days.

heybulldog56, My H is acting the same way. I do almost everything anyway since he's back at work but it's so frustrating when he comes home and acts like he's the only one who has had a long day and that turns into him being overly reactive to DS1.

ellabee I've been burping after each side and each feed, or at least trying. I asked LC and she said if it takes longer than 5 mins then not to worry about it esp if she seems fine.

pibblemom, I hope you're able to get some relief from the pain. I didn't get any until W showed up and there is still a spot in my back that won't stop hurting, but it's not as bad as it was. I hope this isn't the case for you!

ellabee, I burp after feeding and sometimes in the middle of one. He usually burps afterward but it's no biggie if he doesn't. The middle of the feeding burps usually only happen when my nip is hurting and I want him off.

I haven't been burping unless I remember. Oh, and I now have a headache. Baby's first pedi appointment is at 245 and I'm nervous about it. I dont think I'm going to be happy with what doctor has to say about his weight gain and BFing. Too many emotions. Fuck off hormones.
I received an obnoxious text from my mom wanting a baby update. I responded with oops. I forgot to tell you I had the baby this morning. Sighs. So it begins.
I'm also not impressed with the new insurance broker who is responsible for all of the delays according to HR. We finally received our new cards and they spelled my kid's very simple, short, super traditional name wrong. Boooooo.

Okay mamas, I've decided to order a manual hand pump because I just self expressed into a cup more than I've ever pumped with my electric pump. Any recommendations?

What electric pump do you use? If you plan on using both, it probably makes sense to get a manual that fits the flanges of your electric. I'm not wording that right, so I hope you know what I mean.

Yes that makes sense. With dd I used a PISA but my insurance gave me a lanisoh pump time. I did buy new flanges for my Pisa so I should stick with medela. Thanks for the insight.

I am so sorry I'm an awful friend and haven't been back in about a million years it seems. I think I have found that 5 kids in the house is my limit. You know that complete exhaustion feeling right after you had baby and a few days later you feel a little better because you're kind of able to get a little sleep here and there? I am still 3 weeks out with miss C in that exhaustion. Cannot nap when she does because L is up, cannot nap when L does because that is my one hour to shower or supper prep or just sit on my phone for a bit. Then the 3 bigs come home and utter chaos erupts.Every day just blurs into the next, L is freaking CRAZY and so busy. I am so tired. And overwhelmed. I think I have baby blues which just pisses me off more than anything because I have no reason to be upset or down about anything. Stupid hormones. And exhaustion.
Oh and I did newborn photos for someone else on Sunday. Because money.
Sorry for the rant.
Tldr; 5 kids is too many kids, unless you're ok with a messy house and never sleeping again.

pibblemom no help at the moment, tonight is mh's last night of working a 7 day stretch so I'll have his help starting tomorrow afternoon/evening. The nights mh works he has to sleep all day so I get absolutely no help from him, I mean I get it but it really sucks.
I hope your h pulls it together soon and you don't catch whatever it is he has.
ashtog hugs lady. Just big hugs. I'm worried about the exhaustion and nap thing with just two so I cannot imagine five. But C's newborn photo! Oh my melts! She is precious.
I'm alone in my house! MH just called and suggested we go out to dinner tonight, so excited! Definitely will take my mind off things, I can't believe I'm having the baby tomorrow!!
