Anyone else's vagina still not really comfortable with sex at 4 months pp? Mine is still feeling a little raw/ sandpaper when dtd.

Sadly it's so rare I don't even have an answer for you. I know last time I was like that until DD1 weaned though.

erien22846 I plan on just making stuff for me but if I really enjoy it I might look into making things to sell.

macaronmama Happy birthday!

sanibel21 Planning on making tshirts, mugs, cards and random decor items. I already picked up 2 buckets to make the kids easter baskets out of.

becole Mine is actually way better after this birth than after DD's. Still need lube though. (Always have)

[jwinct]

Happy birthday, macaronmama! And happy belated birthday, hikingmama222!

I have to keep reminding myself that I don't have to pick DS up after work today. I'm so afraid my autopilot will kick and I'll drive to my parents' house. My parents got free tickets to the UCONN Women's Championship basketball game (and they are HUGE fans) that's tonight and they wanted to spend the day at the casino (the game is at Mohegan Sun Arena), so DH took the day off to stay home with DS and he's going to pick the girls up early from their after school program. It will be so nice to just be able to drive straight home after work and get dinner started and eat a bit earlier than we usually have to.

@snuff9861 - I think we're all anxiously waiting to find out of you peed on another stick today.

I did. Even the control line was super faint. I think I just have a shit batch. I'm going to maybe not pee on anything for the week and take the digi on the weekend and see whats up.

I clearly do not have this problem.

penguin129 my therapist gave me goals the first appointment. Maybe if she wants patient Lee she should have asked you to set some goals and given you feedback on them.

Thanks. I think you meant if she wants the patient to lead... I gave them a copy of the goals from the other office but I guess they didn't look at them. I didn't even think to have her look at them until the end of my appt. I'm going to search at home for my copies. She might not even be the therapist who sees me next time.

Yes meant patient led. I went back and fixed it.

Would she maybe not see you because it was just an intake or because they rotate? Seeing a different therapist every time seems like it wouldn't be productive at all.

Hey you could just be toughing it out.
I am using lots of lube and I remember this same feeling after DS1 as well. I just can't remember when it went away. It's for sure not happening often over here. I can also still feel where my stitches were.

[erien22846]

macaronmama Happy Birthday!

britta Happy first day at the new job!

[sanibel21]

Good luck today britta! How are you feeling on the Celexa?
becole I think I'd have to have had sex more than twice since dD2 to really comment. But honestly it's been painful especially in the beginning and especially certain positions since dd1 was born.

[becole]

I know my OB said to just keep using lube while BF. She said it's basically like menopause- thin cervix and dryness. I also just don't enjoy sex as much when I'm Bf. I just cannot get over the anxiety of my boobs. I tell him not to touch them but sometimes he forgets or gets caught up and it just pulls me completely out of the mood. Then im nervous he's going to touch them again or they're going to let down and I can't relax. I hate that boobs were ever sexualized. It just makes me feel so gross.

It's because I'm self pay w/o insurance. Apparently they changed their policy on who can take a sliding scale patient. I may have to see an intern now.

I killed the threAd talking about vaginas again.

[becole]

Don't worry I'll have another vagina question in a few days.

[fem]

I made eggplant fries with dinner. DD1 said they were sort of yummy and DH said they were 'actually good.' Win!!

I feel you so much on this.

Thanks for saying so. I wasn't sure if I need therapy or this was along the "normal" line of thought. Some people seem to so easily go from mommy to sex kitten and I'm finding it... hard.

On boobs: I'm never not wearing a bra unless I'm showering or popping one out to nurse. Unless you are my baby or a lactation machine pretending to be my baby, do not touch.

I saw that on GMA this morning. I'll read the article when I find some spare time. Thank you for sharing.

becole samesies on both the boobs and not very interested when nursing. I actually usually just leave my bra on.

[adouces06]

Hi guyzzz. Work was crazy today, then my sisters and I took my parents out for their anniversary. Now just relaxing and watching The Voice. We are getting out of the sickness zone around here, although DS' cold has morphed into a nighttime cough. And still tons of snot. Lucky me.

[fem]

I just want to go to sleep but there's a tornado watch and the line of storms is about an hour away. Hope you guys are safe erien22846.

[vavavictoria]

Hi ladies. Busy day at work plus H had a stomach bug and has been puking all day. I'm single parenting tonight. Let's just say C has not been a happy camper. She has to wait a lot. Luckily V pooped in the potty so she got her prize which is an old cellphone that H has put some animal videos on. I'm putting C to bed while V gets to watch videos on the phone. I hope nobody other than H gets this bug. It does not seem fun. I woke to him bailing out of bed and the sounds of puking coming from our bathroom at 5am this morning. Poor guy.

I feel the same way about boobs. It's just weird and distracting to leak or let down during sex. And half the time my nipples are sore from the damn pump anyways. They will come out to play again in 8 months or so but for now, off limits.

Just coming to check on you! We're hanging out in our basement. Possible tornado just north of us. Lots of wind (60-70mph), rain, and thunder here. Hope the kids can sleep through it. Not sure what's headed your way, but you stay safe too!

We're in the Quad Cities so the line of storms is headed to us next. I hope it stays north of you guys!

The town I grew up in (in Indiana) has been hit by tornadoes a few times so this always freaks me out.

I hear you. I've had too many close calls. I enjoy a good steady rain but HATE storms.

[fem]

Basement time for us. Of course this was the one night the baby was still asleep.

[adouces06]
