Second day DD sleeps all night in the cosleeper!!! The catch... she's on her tummy. We did naps like this in the pnp a week ago with many checks, fftc I guess.
Before this she was sleeping on my chest w me practically sitting to sleep at night because she hated swaddling and her Moro reflex was so awful when laying flat.
I am hoping to head to Target and the consignment shop today. DS is getting too big for his swaddles, so I need some bigger ones. I also need to start stocking up on supplies to send to DC.
I am starting to freak out a bit about going back to work. FFTC - It's not about leaving DS that I'm worried about. I know he'll be fine at DC. It's all the work that I know piled up while I was gone that I am worried about and how I'm going to get through it all.

My MW appt bummed me out, so I'm not going to new moms group. I still have high blood pressure, my heart murmur was not pregnancy induced, and I'm not totally healed so she applied something that stings so effing bad.
I really don't want to deal with the BP and heart stuff right now, but I know I should.

We had a double checkup for DD (1 month) and DS (4yrs) this morning. They both did great. Poor DS got Pdap, mmr, and chickenpox vaccines (maybe I'm forgetting one?). Unfortunately, he also likely has an astigmatism and nearsightedness, so I'm guessing he will be rocking some glasses within a month. DD is little, but growing well. She got her second hep B shot. We all recovered with donuts, except DD who will enjoy hers secondhand. 😉

. six weeks is the blink of an eye. Your body just went through a crazy ordeal, let yourself heal. Generally the only "exercise" that is recommended until then is walking. Ease back into heavier activity.
moutonrouge I am absolutely the worst about taking care of myself, but: make the appointment(s). Heart problems are nothing to be trifled with, especially for women. I hope you get some answers soon.
I'm sorry I have been totally mia lately. I havent even managed to lurk to keep up. I hope everyone is doing well and life with LO is starting to straighten out.
I thought my period started 2 weeks ago when I last checked in here but no.. that was just the warm up. This is the most horrendous period I have ever experienced. It started Friday morning and got way heavier yesterday and heavier still today. I'm a bit concerned because I am passing some significantly sizable clots (tmi sorry). Bigger than anything after delivery. I am wearing overnight pads and changing them almost hourly. I tried super tampons yesterday but they were useless. I normally have short, light periods if i even have one at all so this is startling.
Luckily my pp check up is tomorrow FINALLY. Otherwise I might have put a call in today.
obi I know PP periods can be crazy. I hope everything is normal!
Thanks! They sure can! I was expecting heavy and some clots like after my vaginal delivery but I know you don't really "clean out" as well with a c section though. It's really just the size of the clots that have me a bit anxious. I am pretty confident it's all fine but I'll be happier once I hear that from my OB.
I'm so sorry about the lousy news moutonrouge it sucks dealing with health issues and especially learning you have them hopefully they are easily treatable and you heal quickly now
moutonrouge please please please don't put this off. I won't share my anecdote because it isn't helpful to scare you but suffice to say that this stuff is no joke and you are always better to be safe than sorry. I hope it is easy to resolve!
Took both kids to an airshow today. It was really cold but DS yelling "More airplane! More airplane!" and getting super excited was totally worth it. DD slept almost the whole time despite fighter jets and formation flying being really loud.

DH left for a meeting so it's me and the kiddos. We got outside for a bit but DS is back on the couch and his temp is actually going down. I'm hoping an early bedtime is in order. Mama could use a glass of wine!
We went to the zoo today with some other moms and kiddos, all around age 2. After DD and I went clothes shopping, grocery shopping and took the dog on a long walk. I am totally wiped. I don't know how you toddler moms do it. You all have my respect!
I have been feeling bitchy today. Can't put my finger on it. I just belted my lungs out to some Les Mis in the shower and am feeling less bitchy but now slightly weepy while I eat some m&ms.
Non breastfeeding Lovo would say this is impending menstration emotions.
Breastfeeding Lovo says, it better hell not be.
Ahhhhhhh!
I keep getting these waves of iridescent rage that last maybe 30 minutes, usually focused on my husband (just in my mind.) Like, I know he's done nothing wrong and I'm completely ridiculous in that moment, but I want to vent my spleen so badly and feel like I'll snap at any moment.
And then it melts away into nothing as suddenly as it appeared and I'm totally normal and loving-feeling towards him. This happens maybe a couple of times a week.
