I've been working for about an hour to get the baby to sleep. I decided to make him a bottle to see if that would get him down. Mh is in the living room feeding him and I'm climbing into bed.
We are fighting right now, he is just being such a jerk! He is ready to have sex, obviously, and I'm not ready, also obviously! He is being mean and sulky about it. Like dude, your behavior right now doesn't make me want to be ready any faster. I told him that and he said it doesn't matter, I wouldn't want to anyway. Ugh! I have no idea how to fix this with out just giving in and having super uncomfortable sex before I am physically and emotionally ready.
meeggaannww ugh I'm sorry. I am sure he doesn't actually want to do it if you'll be uncomfortable. If I were you I'd just ride it out and hope he gets out of a funk. Maybe offer some other touches instead so he doesn't feel forgotten about. Men!!
My DH hasn't asked about sex yet. Maybe because he knows how long it took for it to not be uncomfortable for me last time? Dunno.
B went down for what I thought was his bedtime, but was up an hr later. He went back to sleep after half a boob session and went 3hrs, so not bad. He usually does a shorter stretch after this feed, so see you again in about 2hrs...
meeggaannw, I'm sorry your H isn't being very understanding. :-(. My H was trying 2-3 weeks PP!
I feel so much better after a semi-decent night of sleep. DD slept unlike the night before, so we weren't going in and out of her room. DS slept 10-2:30, 3-7, and is sleeping again (8am) but I decided to take advantage of the quiet time before the kids were up and took a shower and now having a cup of coffee. DS's second stretch is such a pain, the first is in his bassinet, swaddled but the second he can't seem to get comfortable and I decided to just put him in the wrap and let him sleep on me. It worked and we both got some sleep, but it's not a good solution!
I'm wondering if DS has some mild reflux? He always coughs and seems a bit uncomfortable during feeds.
DD is celebrating her 2nd birthday at daycare today, I made her a carrot cake to take. Can't wait to see pics of her party!
meeggaannw, I'm sorry you're dealing with that. MH mentioned it once and I said it could be more than 6 weeks because cs. We'll see how it goes more in a few weeks.
thelittleredm & judyblume14, solidarity. That was my day today (yesterday?). Could not put her down for anything. I think it ended up being gas.
ashtog are you going to get the tooth pulled or fixed? Fx it feels better.
C finally gave me a good stretch after the two swaddled poops. We've figured out a good routine that seems to get her to sleep decent stretches more than half the time. I swaddle in a Muslin then again in the swaddle me for reinforcement, put pandoras lullaby station on and feed her then let her sleep on my chest about 20 mins after she's done to be sure she's out. Last night she wouldn't let me put her back down after the first stretch, hopefully it'll work better today.
I got 3 hrs instead of 2! That means only 2 wake ups overnight. This is a positive trend!
When I wake up engorged though, B has such a hard time latching on my left side. His frustrated whine when he can't get the nipple is so pathetically adorable.

Hey ladies! Sorry I've been mia - my app updated and I was locked out!
All is about the same here. I'm up for my feeding with B tonight. He just blew up his diaper and am waiting to see if he's finished or if there's more to come.
We have his 1 month visit today and I can't believe it's already been a month - which means only 2 more months of mat leave and being with my babies all of the time
meeggaannw so sorry your H is being a dick right now and not understanding

A 5hr stretch! I didn't think I'd get so lucky after he slept so much of the late afternoon/early evening. H is still up. He's been playing his new video game all night. I swear to God if he bitches about being tired later, I will be very stabby.
Up feeding W after a longer stretch and I need to pump. We all got sleep tonight thank god. DH is feeling better as long as he takes his meds. He has an appt today with a urologist. He's hoping they'll break up the stone so he can pass it easier.

We got about a 4.5 hour stretch. She was super fussy after we all went to bed so I wound up having to rock her to calm her. I think she's having a little reflux lately so I'm letting her doze upright right now to see if that helps. She's only been taking the right side MOTN so I'm glad I got the silicone pump to take some pressure off the left. Otherwise it's almost painfully full and she really can't latch well.
