I just had a 2hr nap instead of doing the dishwasher, putting dinner in the crockpot (too late now, oops) and starting taxes. I feel a little guilty but I'll get over it.

My LC stopped by with the scale she's letting me borrow and we discussed our more intensive plan to get N to put on more weight and boost my supply.
I've pumped twice in between/after feeds and got an ounce total both times so I'm cautiously optimistic. I also taught her to take a bottle today, took about an hour but I think she's got it now.
Mom is making chicken parm for dinner, DH is working this evening. Not much else going on

Tonight is mh's last night of work this week. Dd knocked over a whole large cup of water playing where I told her to get down and I lost my temper. I raised my voice and stuck her in her crib so she screamed and screamed and ds also decided to scream the entire time I was cleaning the spill up. My mom guilt is now high. Also I ordered pizza for dinner tonight because I just can't and thought I had enough cash but I'm a dollar short to give a decent tip. Ffwc I took a dollar from dd's piggy bank.

meeggaannw, big hugs. Mom guilt blows. I think you are doing great. It's all about survival. In the end, everyone is going to be fine (better than fine, actually. I'm sure of it). It's just so hard to remember that during this insane time.
silvermelody, pumping an ounce after/ in between feeds is great!

All of my BFing sessions today did not go well. Boo. He was so irritated and frustrated. Could it be that he's gotten lazy thanks to the bottle feeds? I just hope he's gained more weight. We have another weight check tomorrow.

Ugh, I'm so mad at Pizza Hut right now. My pizza was supposed to be delivered by 6:45, which is a little late for dinner but I was pushing it. Well at 7 I called to see what was up, my pizza is still there and is next to be delivered, I live 15 minutes from Pizza Hut. So now dd is having leftover mac and cheese, which may or may not be what she had for lunch. And of course ds is nursing now, the pizza should be here any time. It should be fun to hear him scream because I unlatched him.

I keep eating junk food I really need to stop. E keeps falling asleep in our arms and then gets so upset when we put her down. Not much has been done today. Sigh.
Just lost my temper with DD. She keeps doing everything she can to draw out bedtime. It's utterly ridiculous and I'm so over it. Last night she didn't get to sleep until 9. I'm putting my foot down because I'm not doing this every night while simultaneously trying to manage Bs cluster feeding.
Even mh is getting in on the meme fun and sent me this one.
The day isn't over yet!
Every night I get super excited and think maybe tonight is my night because my water broke at 4am last time. I can feel the adrenaline starting right now. Then the alarm goes off at 6 and sighs, not my night.

I remember being pissed off every time I'd pee and there would be no sign of mp. How sad is that.
I started bleeding around 5pm tonight. Waited til about 530 when it was clearly not just spotting. MW had me come in again, hooked up another nst, all good there, showing some contractions. Only 1 cm dilated, and was perplexed about the bleeding so sent me for an ultrasound next door just to check placenta. Waiting on a call back. She did say it could be early labor and of course the bleeding could be from sex, but it's a bit more than normal from that. Right now I'm figuring no news is good news and hoping the contractions lead to something.
Well, this is a hell of a drill if it is. Contractions definitely getting stronger and closer together, but haven't timed them yet and they're not painful, just more than my previous BH. Going to take a long hot shower and break out my glass of wine just for this occasion and try to get some sleep. Fingers crossed!
