Still got an inside baby! But feel free to AW your outside cuties since we skipped Hump Day 😇
I told myself I wasn't gonna get a baked good with my coffee today, but man this almond croissant is bomb 😅 Hope you motn'ers got some rest in the early hours!

I'm just sitting here snuggin R. Ive been up since 3:30ish, dozing on/off but R had rough morning with lots of gas. K is upstairs with DH, whose heading out to work soon. My friend and her granddaughter are coming over this afternoon to play with K, and visit R. That's really all we got going on here.

Same old same old here. DS actually slept through the night, though, so today is already a win! We have no plans today - but it's supposed to be 70(!), so we're going to spend quite a bit of time outside. I am getting a lot of crocheting done watching DS play outside this week ☺️
I need to take both kids to wegmans to get a treat for DS to take to daycare for his 3rd birthday tomorrow. It'll be the first time taking them both to the store....
DH is working from home, so it's kind of nice but kind of annoying in that DS does not understand that daddy can't play.
Twinsies - I had an almond croissant this morning too coffeeonice! So worth it.
DD had a rough night and was up a bunch of times for no real reason, which is unlike her. I let DH deal with her wake ups since I was up with B. After his crazy growth spurt day on Tuesday, we were back to normal for the most part. Longest stretch was only three hours but at least he went to bed at a decent hour.
Today I have my postpartum visit and a lactation consultation to evaluate Bs latch and tongue/lip ties. Busy day for me but I prepped enchiladas yesterday for dinner tonight so I still feel like I'm ahead of the game.

We were cleared to let DS sleep longer stretches at night even though he is just shy of birth weight so we did. He slept from 11:30 to 2 in his PnP then changed/fed and slept in our bed until 6:30. Didn't get him back in the PnP the 2nd time but I'd still call it a huge win that he went in at the start of the night with 0 issue. Those longer stretches of sleep are amazing and it was nice to be able to fall asleep with DH and him not have to be out on the couch. Felt normal again.
MIL is taking DD1 for a few hours today. She seems to be having the hardest time adjusting to less attention with a newborn and a teething toddler in the house so I think a day out for her will be great.
I will be taking it easy because my bleeding seemed almost over but picked up again big time starting Monday night. Yesterday I was bleeding heavier than I did right after having him so the midwife said I've been doing too much. Not sure how to do less with other kids around, especially when one in 15 months old and teething her molars and only wants mom.
Day one of maternity leave!! yay but also #stress because I would like this baby to show up as soon as possible now so all my paid time isn't spent just waiting around. FX

It's a beautiful day here, but I'm stuck on my couch and glued to my pump. I feel less flu like ill today, but my breast is killing me. I only feel relief for a half hour at most after pumping.
Hugs to those will inside babies still and those who were up most of the night with their outside ones. It figures that one of the few nights Z did two good stretches of sleep I had to be awake anyway.

Have you heard of "dangle feeding"? That's how I got my clogs out in the past. It's kind of awkward, but totally worth the relief.

Took DS1 to MDO totally forgot they are doing their Mardi Gras party today so my kid is the only one not in an adorable Mardi Gras outfit. Awesome. DS2 did two decent stretches last night in the pnp. Hopefully I can quit falling asleep nursing him and do the whole night in the pnp. In regards to pp bleeding 3 weeks and a day and still more bleeding than a panty liner can handle. I am over it.
dancerspose, I have had mastitis 3 times now, only once so far with this baby a hot compress felt good to me and as painful as it is some gentle pressure on the lump while pumping/expressing helped work it out. Sorry you're dealing with it. It's pretty miserable.
@dancerspose I find using the back of a comb and running it gently along the clogged area towards the nipple helps break it up. It works especially well in the shower.

Morning ladies.
I'd be lying if I said I was in a good place today. I just feel so broken after last night.
When DH woke up, I talked to him and told him I was upset with him for leaving us last night to go to bed. He didn't ask if I needed anything or if I minded if he went to bed. He just basically decided he was done and left me alone to clean up the mess.
Believe me, I get being frustrated. I really really do. But I needed him last night. And he knew it. And he wasn't there.
He apologized and I could tell felt really bad about it. But idk. I need to trust that he'll really be there for us. And not just talk a good game of "wake me up".
I can't wait to see the pedi tomorrow. Can. Not. Wait.
I'm 3w2d and still needing a pad. It's not much, but too much for a pantyliner. And definitely there when I wipe.
Last time around, I needed a pad till about 5.5 weeks :/ I remember specifically because it was just before my 6 week appointment that I didn't need it anymore.

loves2shop4shoes please take care of yourself. If you feel overwhelmed, sad or anxious all of the time don't be afraid to seek help.
As for your H, yes, talk to him about how he needs to do more MOTN but also with my first kid me and H had an understanding that whatever happened or was said MOTN would stay there. People are not the best when sleep deprived and a baby is screaming at 3 AM.
When H's say "wake me up", wake them up. My h doesn't hear when I need him unless I...wake him up. I text, call, punch. It's not fair for me to be upset that he was sleeping because I didn't wake him up.
I wake him up every single time the toddler has a MOTN need. He doesn't hear it otherwise.

Yes. I'm a total bitch in the MOTN. Waking up/being awake is much harder on me during the wee hours than in the daylight.
