Driving to my inlaws vacation house for the weekend so we can be local to work on some renovations on our place. First long-ish trip (2hrs) with both kids. We'll see how productive we can be....
I feel like I can't not wear a bra. My nipples are so sensitive that if they're not contained with a bra and nursing pads they'd be rubbed raw by any shirt I put on.

ellabee, oh same. I am, in general, team no bra. Unfortunately in my current breastfeeding and pumping state, it's not possible. I hate it but yeah, same here with the super sensitivity. I now live in either a bra or nursing tank and always have stupid pads on as well.

So today sucked.
My c section incision is infected and has a seroma (pocket of fluid). I was really looking forward to getting into some real clothes---at the very least some maternity pants. But, now I'm still in granny panties with a maxi pad and gauze over the incision. This is bringing me down so much.
Oh and DD has a dairy intolerance (just like DS 1 did) and some neck muscle issues from being stuffed inside my small frame. So, on top of keeping her alive I have to do these exercises and hope it improves before the dr orders Physical therapy. I know it's not big deal, but I'm just hormonal!
B is doing a post-nursing nap sesh on the boppy in the sun (to help with the jaundice). This is my view. Chillaxing for 5 more mins before my toddler tornado arrives with DH.

heybulldog56 big hugs. I cried when my dad left on Sunday and I know I'll cry again this Sunday when my mom leaves. It made it really hit home how far away they are
I have to wear a nursing bra, these tits are too big and my boss nips are too sensitive.
weeklyplanner oh no! Sorry about the infection, that sucks. And the dairy intolerance too? I was telling my mom, for all the pumping and supplements and chiro to make BFing work, I'm not sure I could do the food/dairy restrictions. I love food too much.

Newborn session went great. Took her a little while to get sleepy but then she was a perfect doll.
Unfortunately on the way in I tripped and landed hard on her sidewalk. Both knees are scraped up and my left elbow is killing me when I bend it. Didn't hit my head though and thank God my mom had the baby carrier. My incision seems fine. But I'm hurting through my usual painkiller regimen. I burst into tears and scared my mom (she had to drive us) but I was just shaken up and frustrated.
weeklyplanner aw man. I'm sorry for all your troubles.
silvermelody ouch! Glad your incision seems to be okay.
ellabee I'm jealous of your view! I'm staring at my yard because the toddler wouldn't nap and I could not deal with that today so we drove around for a bit. Now he's conked out. Thank goodness for smart phones and car chargers!
I need to pee but I don't want to give up my peace and quiet yet. Ds always wakes up when the car stops running. How much longer can I hold it? #momproblems
MH went back to work today so my mom is over. I had a terrible night due to my itchy rash, my OB put me on steroids yesterday to clear it up and it's been helping a bit. I've just been resting all day when I'm not nursing so that's been good.
Hi guys.. I disappeared again for a little bit because lots of crazy kids but also lots of emotions. One of my clients found out at 13w that her baby had a heart defect, and would need surgery right after birth. A few weeks ago they decided to do an amnio and found out she has trisomy 18. 😠they have decided to do palliative comfort care until she passes on her own if she's born alive, but there's a big chance she will be born sleeping. I am on call to do photos in either case. They induced yesterday at 9am and as of a few hours ago she was at 3cm. We did maternity photos last weekend to celebrate her dd little life, here's one of them
