The dictator has been super sleepy since getting his hep B booster yesterday aka we got sleep too. DH did the 530 diaper change and couldn't get him back to sleep. I have my 6 week PP appointment and I'm mildly terrified. DH really wants to have sex and it's been forever because I was on pelvic rest since 20 something weeks.

DH just texted me - DS had a full blown freak out tantrum when they got to preschool. One of the teachers has to step in and hug/rock him and give him his naptime stuffed monkey. I feel badly for him, but he needs to start learning about school and socializing with others and structure etc. I just need to reassure myself it will get better.

grumpycat88 I was wondering where this thread was! I am glad you got some rest Don't be terrified, pp sexy time wasn't nearly as scary as I had imagined it to be. Have some wine and go slow (lots of foreplay for you). It might be nice, you never know!
Random for today: DS is 5 weeks old today and I need time to slow down! He will probably be our only baby (by choice) and he is already getting too big!! My DH doesn't understand why this makes me sad; he can't wait for him to be bigger so they can interact more...
shannjohnston it will get easier! I taught preschool before I quit to stay home with lo. A bunch of my kiddos had rough drop offs when they started, but over time they all got better. Some of mine needed some hugs and cuddles but after that they would go off and play. I know it sucks right now but he'll get the hang of it!
On the crappy side I have mastitis. I had a headache all day yesterday and body aches but the chills and fever with sore boobs. OB called in antibiotic and I sweat through my bed with the fever that now seems to have broken. Hopefully today is a better day. Glad she didn't make me come in.
5:30am and I'm up pumping and watching Nashville. ILs coming over early today to make a few freezer meals for us. Can't wait to get a little more sleep.
Baby refused to sleep in her RnP last night. She would only sleep in my bed next to me. I don't like bed sharing because it makes me nervous but I needed sleep. I hope it was just a fluke.
Cutting down the supplement at the rate our doctor suggested was a disaster. Going more slowly plus all the pumping, as well as lactation cookies, fenugreek, and blessed thistle if road conditions (and pill size) permit.

I bet he has an awesome time today once he settles in. My son throws a tantrum almost every morning at drop off, but when I go to pick him up in the evening he doesn't want to come home. I'm jealous you'll get more baby time today!
The cleaners are coming today - I am kind of excited but also kind of feeling guilty like they'll wonder why I can't clean the house myself if I'm home. So I have some errands to run with the boys while they're here.
I am starting to get sick. I'm pretty sure there has not been a single day in my maternity leave where someone hasn't been sick. DH is getting better, so I guess it's my turn.
In good news - I'm loving my haircut, and both boys are being very sweet today. Maybe sexy time is coming soon, but maybe not. I feel a bit like the Monica "you know you want to get with this" episode in Friends where she's sick, so maybe we'll wait until after my 6 week appointment.
H and I had a long over due conversation about our marriage last night. It has been rocky over the past couple months and I reached my breaking point last night. We cleared the air on a lot of topics and I finally feel like we are on the same page again.
When we went to bed we started kissing and one thing lead to another. Unfortunately we couldn't do full on sexy time because I'm only 3 weeks pp and it hurt too much, but we had a lot of fun just kissing. We haven't just kissed (I mean like intimately kiss not just a quick kiss goodbye) in such a long time. It was really nice to just make out like we used to when we were younger and not feel pressure to do anything else.
We have been together almost half our lives which is crazy to think about but it's true. Growing up together has both helped and hurt our relationship so we both decided that we needed to relearn about each other. We are going on a date Friday night. There's a local Madri Gras parade going on that we are going to go to. I've lived in this area my whole life and only heard about it Sunday but according to their website and the news it's the biggest Mardi Gras celebration in the bay. I'm looking forward to spending some alone time together and enjoying some adult beverages! If you can believe it I still haven't had any alcohol! Z might spend the night at my parents (still haven't decided if I'm ok with that yet) and if she does I'm definitely going to enjoy a few captain and cokes!
Wow..super long lol anyway I hope you ladies have a great day!

Sometimes, I hate nursing LO. I hate the feeling! I don't recall if I have posted this thought here, but I am nursing right now and Ifeel so angry!! It makes me feel so fat. I have to clench my butt so my fat thighs don't touch the rocking chair sides. Does anyone else have this? If LO is nursing from the right side, nothing can loosely touch the right side of my body and vice versa. It sucks!!
It's been over a week since my follow up appointment and still no sex. Sometimes I still get strange sensations in that general area, so the idea of sex just scares me still. My husband's ok with it for now. He watched the baby come out (I didn't think he would), so I think maybe that's why he's in no rush for now. Fine with me!
My husband took LO with him downstairs so I could shower and put myself together. It's been 40 minutes and I'm still lying in bed. I'm working on getting up. Really, I am.

((hugs)) Just to add to the reassurance train, DS literally cried tears of joy when DH and I picked him up on his first day of daycare(he was 15 mos) and now he asks me every day if gets to go to school today. It's been so rewarding for him and he loves/misses his friends(he's not going while I'm on leave.)

Mornings are my favorite time. I'm pumped up full of coffee and ready to take on the day. This feeling usually only lasts a few hours, but it's great while it lasts. LO is napping too. I can't believe he'll be 6 weeks tomorrow.
5:30am and I'm up pumping and watching Nashville. ILs coming over early today to make a few freezer meals for us. Can't wait to get a little more sleep.
I love Nashville! I was watching it on DVR while feeding DS this morning.
We bought DS a convertible car seat yesterday. Regular price at BRU was $340. We paid $125 out of pocket after 25% trade in coupon, 10% registry completion coupon, $90 reward certificate, and $25 gift card!

When I picked him up yesterday his face was blotchy and there were still a couple tears on his cheek. He saw me through the window beside the classroom door and I could see him immediately point to me and say, "Mommy!" I could tell he wanted to get up and run to me, but was hesitant. I didn't know why, but one of his teachers looked over, saw me, took his hand and lead him over. I only figured out later that it must have been because he had been reprimanded for not siting and staying on the carpet during their circle time (hence the tears), and didn't want to get in trouble again I just want him to love this place. DH and I did a lot of research into preschools and went on a bunch of tours; this place is so good and the teachers are wonderful.
kml218 now more than ever, with a new baby, it's so important to strengthen your relationship. I'm glad you guys are on the same page. Enjoy your date!
I'm trying to get the mountains of laundry in the basement done today. Next week we are buying a deep freezer for all my bm as my freezer in the kitchen is full.
I really want to get out today...but its currently 9 degrees. Tomorrow is my 6 week checkup we'll get out for that at least.

maebb Don't feel bad about your cleaners. We have a cleaning lady that comes every other week. We've had her for about a year and a half, and I think I need her more now than when I was working!
Also - DH made an interesting comment last night about me quitting my job and staying at home with LO and being the research and writer for his firm... He must be on crack because his income is sporadic (like big peaks and valleys), but if he keeps talking like that I might just take him up on that. I could always get a PT job to supplement our income...
