Friday is here

[erinshelley21]

Thursday ended with excitement for us. I was feeding DD and Dh was putting ds to bed when we lost power and I heard an awful noise. I thought we were getting ready to get sucked up by a tornado. A car hit a gas meter about a 1/4 mile from our house and it caught on fire. Everyone within 1/2 mile was evacuated. We left before that though since we knew there wouldn't be power for a while. We grabbed the necessities and headed to my brothers house.

There was a good 10 seconds I thought we were going to die. It was an awful noise.

[erinshelley21]

I didn't realize I copied Thursday's thread title. Whoops.

[glb30]

erinshelley21 oh my gosh! How scary! I hope everyone is as settled as possible at your brothers.

[glb30]

My in-laws are here, and for once I am enjoying MOTN. I need my daily dose of alone time. And alone time with DD.

I went to the gym yesterday (it felt SO good to have a good work-out!!) and left DD with my in laws. She doesn't cry much, so imagine my surprise when I got home and asked how she was an my MIL said "she cried a lot." I actually think it was just a normal amount of crying, and she was just taking a poop- which sometimes she fusses during. It made me super anxious, and I wondered (since the baby was sleeping peacefully where I left her when I returned) why she didn't just say she was good?! Lie to me.

[mosdub]

Whoa, glad you're safe. Hope no one got hurt

[mosdub]

Baby won't sleep unless he's on me or someone else, and has been cluster feeding. I think he skipped a couple days when he was born and launched into needing all the breasts now.

I can hear a woman laboring in the room next to mine. Thank the lawd I'm done with that.

[glb30]

mosdub baby is throwing you right in to the middle of the night madness! I hope you are feeling well, and get some sleep soon.

[caer]

Wow erinshelley21, that's scary! I'm glad everything is ok.

Welcome to the MOTN fun mosdub! Are you still at the hospital?

Yep! I think we will be discharged this afternoon. H was finally able to put him down, he slept maybe 20 mins which was a welcomed cat nap. He's back to nursing now and OW my nips already hurt

[sterl724]

C and I made it through our first day home alone pretty well yesterday! No major meltdown from either of us. I even for some laundry done and actually cooked dinner!

I was really hoping C would sleep 6 hours again tonight. It was perfect yesterday, because I was finishing up nursing when h got up for work. Instead, C only slept 3.5, and now I'll go back to bed shortly before the alarm and H getting up. (Just long enough to fall back asleep!)

Glad he went down for a little bit! Did they give you lanolin for your nipples? I used that stuff after every feeding for the first couple of weeks and it seemed to help with the pain. Hope you can get some more help soon!

[mosdub]

Exactly 24 hours ago, I was pushing this amazing thing into the world. So weird how so much can change in such a short amount of time.

caer I'm definitely going to ask for lanolin when the nurse checks on us this morning. Along with more ibuprofen (my perineum is soooo sore). I am happy he's such a good little latcher and sucker though!

[mosdub]

Nurse is going to take him for 24 hour tests so I can get some sleep. YAS.

[sterl724]

erinshelley21 that is scary. Glad everyone is ok and that you had somewhere to go!

mosdub it's so crazy how quick everything changes. Enjoy your sleep!!

[muskiefan]

erinshelley21 that's crazy! How long will you need to stay out?

mosdub hope you are d/c and you can rest more at home.

glb30 I agree with you about your ILs -- even if she cried, say she was great. After all, she's a baby. Babies sometimes cry. Don't feel guilty for leaving for a bit!

[muskiefan]

DS has pink eye and he is at the height of the terrible twos. 😩
I think he's having a hard time adjusting to L needing us and he's lashing out, especially when he knows I can't do much to discipline (won't sit in a time out when I'm nursing). Today is going to suck.

[seadragon2013]

We have E's two week checkup and my two week incision check today. I'm a bit worried that the incision isn't healing quite right - hopefully they can give me good news.

[kristhegirl]

Baby sleeping good. Husband snoring bad. Then baby grunts began in his sleep. Mama moved to the couch. Tired.

[erinshelley21]

muskiefan we got the all clear to go back home around midnight or 1. We were all in bed already though.

[erinshelley21]

I need coffee. So much coffee.
Maybe the power outage will have given my keurig a break long enough to get it's shit together. If not it looks like I'm buying a new one today.

[amandamh2]

L actually slept a chunk in her bassinet so yay for that. No plans for the day, might go file taxes. We'll have to drag both kids along whenever we go so that will be,interesting

Mother love nipple cream! I swear by that stuff!

I literally just went through this this week! My 2 1/2 year old had pink eye and is also in the height of the terrible 2's! You have oh my sorries! DD is acting out a little bit too since the baby came around. Not anything towards the baby but just in general. Like she's up the attitude quite a bit. I kept her home for two days with the pinkeye and by the time it was all said and done I couldn't wait to send her back to the sitter! I felt absolutely awful but I just needed a break.

I feel like this is a poem for the ages

[moutonrouge]

Baby actually slept well last night in spite of yesterday afternoon and evening being a nap shit show. Hoping today is better or that I cry less.

[mikaela20]

erinshelley21 Wow that's crazy and scary. Thankfully everyone is ok. And yes you need coffee! It's worth the purchase if it's still broken.

mosdub hopefully you get some rest while they take him.

glb30 yes she should have just said she was fine. Babies cry alot. When their not sleeping or eating, they are crying because they want to either be sleeping, eating or be changed.

mosdub already joining the MOTN madness? Glad he is nursing like a champ. Time flies so fast. Enjoy all the snuggles.

muskiefan oh no. That doesn't sound like fun!

[mikaela20]

It's been so long since I got a haircut and ive wanted to do a short angled Bob so that's it's not as easy to get baby puke in it.

But DS started playing with it for comfort and just holding it in his hands. How can I cut it now?!

He is holding both sides now in both hands. It just melts my heart.

[erinshelley21]

Got mcdonalds breakfast and coffee so I feel like a human. SIL and my brother don't eat breakfast so she grabbed mini donuts last night after she took their dog to stay somewhere else (he is not friendly). Donuts will work for the 3 year old. Not the 27 year old nursing mama. Or me even when I'm not nursing. I require real breakfast everyday.
