I've not been waking to pump in the MOTN. I'm so lazy and I hope it doesn't tank my supply. Owen has been sleeping from 10-4 or 5 lately, so I usually just pump when he wakes up. I probably really should squeeze in a pump....but sleeeeep.
I officially am the owner of a deep freezer, which we purchased only to hold BM.
And I'm going to dinner with friends today, I had to make sure the driver has the proper outlet so I can use my pump while out.

Dropped my fussy baby off with husband in the living room around 330 am cause I desperately need some sleep tonight. We usually bedshare, but for some reason LO was cranky and didn't seem to want to nurse. I assumed he'd make her a bottle of bm when she was ready, but nope! My baby was returned to me about 15 minutes later.."I think she's hungry." Perfect, thanks. Why do I feel guilty when I try to skip nursing sessions?! I'm taking her right back when she's done!

MH was such a total dick last night before I went to sleep. Now I'm up for a MOTN feed and he's asleep next to me and I just want to smack him.
I know he's going to want to rush off from my parents' house to head home earlier than I want to today, because he always does that shit. Hello, if you don't want to be here then stay the hell at home!
I took a long nap with Z this afternoon and can't fall asleep now. I read the entire FFFC in parenting thinking it would make me sleepy...nope! Just got angry and then laughed my ass off. It's almost 5:30am and today with Z is going to suck!

Breastmilk has taken over my life!
I've never pumped in the motn. Granted my supply isn't that large (I don't make enough for a freezer stash, just a day or so ahead). 4 or 5 am is still close to that 1-4am prime time for pumping. I'd keep an eye on your supply but it shouldn't impact you too significantly.
Sorry tmi but bright red bleeding cane back for me. No bleeding here since pp week 3. Idk if i overdid it yesterday by going grocery shopping. Or this is AF. If ths is AF im baffled bcoz im only 6w PP and EBF will call my OB soon but everything ive read says te red flag is up if im soaking a pad an hour which fortunately is not the case.

Up nursing LO in bed. Hoping he goes back to sleep. He usually gets bad gas at least once and is usually the 5am feed so I usually just get up now. Today I want to sleep in though.

We have to drive to Spokane today and pick up our previously broken down car (it's 5.5 hours away). Not only was LO unbelievably fussy last night so I had almost no sleep but today is the best/biggest festival our town throws and I have to miss it! It's seriously amazing and I am so sad. We are leaving as soon as I finish feeding in hopes we can make it back before the parade, lumberjack show and fireworks. Urrrgggghhhhh effing cars!!

Ummm, my LO went to sleep around 1030 last night, it is 7 here and he is still asleep! WTF? Leaky boobs, guess I'm going to have to go pump... I'm sure that will make him wake up!
Another night of 6 hours of sleep for LO. Is this... a pattern?! Let's hope it only gets better from here!
My husband and I dtd yesterday. Just over 8 weeks pp and we hadn't done it since at least a month before I delivered. He's been a very patient man for the most part. It wasn't terribly enjoyable, but I survived it.

I wish I didn't have to pump in the Motn! But if I didn't, I wouldn't be so sore! How do you do it??
DH was an ass last night in the MOTN. Basically DS1 was calling for me, I didn't respond right away, and he accused me of being lazy and never doing anything. Meanwhile, I am the only one who ever gets up to feed DS2 in the MOTN. I was baffled by his rudeness and stupidity, so I just said "fuck you." I don't know if I should still be mad at him today, talk to him about it, or forget about it and move on.
I think we're mostly staying at home today. No plans.

DH watched the kidlets last night so I could go to derby. DS was a tiny terror at bedtime and DD has been really gassy. I was grateful for the workout/adult time/socialization and that DH got to experience more of the solo parenting frustrations. It's nice to know he can manage, and helps him understand why wine is so important.
FFSC: my boobs never get that engorged. Even if I miss a couple feedings. Maybe it's because I have a lot of real estate for the extra milk?

I pump right before bed and right when I wake up. I only get sore when the dictator won't let me pump right away. He's 8 weeks old so I think my body is just used to it.
I only sometimes pump motn and that's only if I don't have a bottle for baby. I have no supply though I can only pump what he needs I've tried everything power pumping, fenugreek, Gatorade. As long as I can make what he needs I guess we're okay but I'm nervous about going back to work
L slept for 6.5 hours and then 3. Then this am I asked DH to burp L and he proceeded to spit up down his back. I couldn't stop laughing. I said now you know what it's like for me. He's still mad.
Yesterday Mason was awake all day. He woke up at 7:30am, took a 1 hour nap around noon and when to bed around 10:15pm. He was so cranky from about 4 until I got him calmed down around 9:30. But with all of that he just slept for just shy of 7 hours!
I didn't know it was possible for a 2 month old baby to stay awake all day like that.
@ maebb I don't know what I'd do about DH. On the one hand, I've decided not to hold middle of the night arguments against him. On the other hand though, he needs understand that He's getting off easy when it comes to the kids. It's a good thing there aren't middle of the night quickie divorces.

They do hurt,and are rock hard. I pumped at 11 last night then 5 this morning and pumped 14 ounces. They hurt, I just prefer sleep sometimes.
DH took the babe downstairs at 6 and I kept sleeping.....um it's 9...I love my hubs!
nachomomma, yeah...when I was pregnant with DS1, we asked a couple with 4 kids for advice, and they said don't hold a grudge about MOTN things because people say fucked up things when they're deliriously tired. But it just makes me feel insecure and wonder if he really feels that way.
Right now I'm watching both boys while he sleeps (which happens every weekend). So if he does feel like I don't do anything, I need to set him straight.

Heidihi121. My LO was awake from 1130 am until 800 pm!! I didn't realize it either. Everytime I went to put him down he woke up!!! Grrrr... So frustrating. I tried 6 times throughout afternoon. Plus he did sleep a 4 hour stretch at night and that has NEVEr hapoened
I love the weekends. I get to nurse DS1 without DS2 crawling all over me. Plus, I'll get to play with DS2 without holding DS1 at the same time. It's so much easier!
Cookies as a bribe for DS1 sleeping thru the night have stopped working. I should have known that was too good to be true.

I am so excited! I am going out with DH and friends to a concert tonight while my parents babysit. I am totally planning on not being the designated driver after almost a year of having that job! I am also going to pump and dump and not feel bad about it. Now that C has been STTN, I have plenty of extra milk!
Today my friends are throwing a shower for F. Since they live in several different cities, we thought it made more sense to do it after she was born so they could meet her. I'm excited to show her off and see friends I haven't seen in months, but I have no idea what to wear! I packed away all of my non-maternity pants months ago,can't remember where, and my maternity pants will not stay up. So I guess I'll be stuck wearing a dress even though it's -20 outside. Ugh I wish I could just wear the leggings and nursing tanks I've been living in!

Good Morning Everyone! Hubby and I DTD last night at 3 weeks 1 day postpartum. (Yes, I'm a rebel and didn't wanna wait until 6 weeks). We used a condom to prevent pregnancy and provide lube. It felt amazing!

I agree with the sentiment of not holding a grudge, but I wouldn't be able to not say something. I'd probably try to be as calm as possible and say, "It really hurt me when you said xyz. I hope you said it because you were tired and it was the middle of the night, but I feel unappreciated even though I do __, __, and __. I appreciate that you do __ and __ and I hope you appreciate what I do for our family as well" or something.
((hugs)) I'm sure he feels like an ass when he thinks about what he said.
I went to visit at the school where I teach yesterday, and it made me feel a little better about going back to work in two weeks (!? wtf??? I can't believe it's already almost been 9 weeks)
I'm amazed at the pp and anyone else who has dtd early on. I'm really scared about it. I got cleared on Monday and I think I'm going to need a few glasses of wine to relax enough for it to be enjoyable (or at least not terrible). My doctor handed me a pile of lube samples to help, too. lol.
