And it works well??? If C is a gas machine like her older brother I might have to get one!

It worked last night. You massage their belly then lubricate it and stick it in lol. It released a lot of air and poop I was pretty surprised. She settled fairly quickly after it, a previous gassy night it took a lot longer for her to settle.

Have you tried different ones? F usually rejects the soothies but likes the mam ones.

R rejected all of them though

I wonder if this would work on my boyfriend;) he could do it right before bed and hopefully not send the rest of the night farting

MissDemeanor, good call. We currently have all smoothies. Gonna have to change it up.

rinny , lol at your mom wanting to plan ahead 😂😂 she sounds like my MIL, who means well but asks many times a day how I'm feeling, and if neither me or my H get back to her she panics and calls and makes sure we didn't forget to call her to tell her we went to the hospital.

You can send them this (someone shared with me today):

I will be using this if my mother texts me again for a baby update.

[MissDemeanor]

My mom insisted on coming to my house every day after my membrane sweep "just in case". It annoyed the hell out of me. Except I did go into labour while she was here and I was glad we didn't have to wait 45 minutes for her to get here.

Don't tell her I said that.

[lakegirl]

The inlaws took me out to lunch after my appointment. I stuck with my regular diner grilled cheese and fries. But the conversation was epic guys. It was so hard not to give them a big you don't say face.

Fil: I don't know why sil has such a hard time with her inlaws. Part of me thinks it's her and she's just being difficult.

Mil: I've told her she needs to be less selfish and think of other people's feelings. Etc etc.

I never tried a mam with R. Now I'm wondering if I could have had all that extra sleep...

He got one during his circ. DS1 had one pretty much from the start because of his NICU stay.

[ashtog]

Re: soothers - do you guys tap the back of it when it's in their mouths? If you do it stimulates the sucking reflex. I get a lot of nb clients who can't get their baby to take a soother and I tap the back and they take it no problem

[rinny]

Good luck with the SNS opheliainwaders! Hope she comes around soon

[biscotto]

We had newborn picture at this morning, can't wait to see them. This afternoon my mom and I took DD to the toy library and for a snack out while DD stayed home with H.

[heybulldog56]

opheliainwaders, w also using an SNS over here! Let me know if you find this elusive goddess of breastfeeding, please.

Yesterday I was irrationally emotional about breastfeeding and today I am feeling overburdened with guilt. I feel guilty for completely rocking DS1s world. I feel awful. I know everything will be fine, better than fine, in the long run. But right now I feel horrible.

[thelittleredm]

I've been sitting at the kitchen table waiting for DS1 to finish his one bite if sausage and two bites of egg for almost an hour now. He's currently rubbing my foot to keep from eating. I shouldn't encourage it but this is about as pampered as I get anymore so I'm going to let it go.

[silvermelody]

Oxycodone is amazing. I was crying earlier trying to put on a new pair of mesh panties, it hurt so much. Now I can actually stand without wanting to weep.

I ate my breakfast like I had been stranded on an island with just a volleyball for company.

LC came back and said we're looking great, which is a relief.

Waiting for DH to get here, gotta sign her birth cert.

[silvermelody]

heybulldog56 I was weeping about ruining our perfect family yesterday. These hormones are no joke. Our big kids will adjust. Kids are resilient!

[heybulldog56]

silvermelody, oxycodone is the shit.

[ellabee]

Vent: I'm so over all the postpartum bleeding. I feel like my life would be so much better if I could just not wear stupid pads and worry about leaking anymore. My ladybits feel sore from all the pad use. Blah.

[thelittleredm]

ellabee, +1. I'm barely spotting during the day but it's just enough that I'm still stuck in pads -.-

[thelittleredm]

Just put W down for a nap in his crib for the first time. We'll see how it goes.

[ashtog]

Hugs heybulldog56 that's where I'm at with L too.

[rinny]

Hugs heybulldog56, opheliainwaders, silvermelody - baby obviously isn't here yet, but I already have all the guilt about rocking DS1's world and tear up on a nightly basis after bed time, and I don't even have the reality or PP hormones of it all.


lakegirl, I ended up making that URL my work status. lol.

[heybulldog56]

I hate that we have to feel this way but im glad I'm not alone in feeling this way. So grateful to have this community. I tried to talk to Dh about it earlier and he was supportive but I don't think he really gets what I'm feeling.

[silvermelody]

My call to the nurse just now "I need water and more mesh underwear". Birth is so glamorous!

Ped stopped by for the discharge exam. They are a little concerned about her weight loss, she's down 9%. But she was super sleepy last night and didn't want to eat much. The LC was happy with her latch and swallowing, that seemed to make the ped feel better. Our follow up is tomorrow since the offices aren't open on the weekend. I hope our actual ped we see for DS is there but I'm not sure if he works Fridays.

I still need my dressing removed and my exam and we need our discharge papers. Supposed to be out in the next hour but I don't see that happening.

[lakegirl]

Current situation: group nap. Ds took a short one and I don't want him to get up yet. Now I'm reading about everyone's feelings about adding another kid and trying not to feel guilty.

[peaseblossom55]

H is napping on the couch. I'm kind of annoyed.

We are good to go here but they forgot to put in the prenatal vitamins for me so we are waiting on that. I don't need them because I take different ones.

[judyblume14]

Sorry you're feeling down, heybulldog56. Feel your feelings, but also know that you are awesome.

[judyblume14]

Just to put things into perspective, I feel like a crappy parent to DD1 on most days anyway. I figure... Can't get much worse ;-)
