Wednesday spam a lot

misshart00 and cginge That's scary! I'm not sure I would want to know that even now. I'm glad you weren't aware of it at delivery.

[misshart00]

I was aware of the cord being wrapped because I could feel his shoulders for awhile and the doctor was doing something. I didn't think it was a huge deal at the time but looking back on it, I realized he wasn't crying yet. But as soon as they finished, they got the rest of him out and immediately on my chest.

It was even a "high risk" line item on our EOB now that I think about it.

misshart00 cginge DS also had the cord around his neck. I didn't know that until about an hour after birth, but I definitely knew something was up because he came out so very blue and not making much noise. The OB still had DH cut the cord, I reached down and touched his little blue hand and he reacted a bit, and he made noise quickly after they got him across the room to the pediatric nurse practitioner (who was present because of meconium in my water) so I wasn't super concerned.

Our family were creeping outside the delivery room (SIL actually stuck her foot in the door after a nurse went in so they could hear - yeah our families are a bit intrusive) so when doc said there's the baby and no cry followed, everyone in the hall was super worried, especially my mom.

PikoPiko hope you get good results from your GTT

Also, my LO has crazy hands. They have a mind of their own. Lol. They scratch his face when he is hungry, take pacifiers and bottles out of his mouth when he wants them and can be a real nuisance. Luckily they make up for it by curling around my finger when he falls asleep.

This is DS too! He wants to hold his pacifier but his wild hands knock it out of his mouth constantly.

And yes! He is a completely different baby now. Full of smiles and coos and doesn't need to be held constantly.

misshart00 cginge lilyelayne DD had the cord wrapped around her neck and was blue as well. She didn't make noise for a while, and her apgar was 7 due to color and lack of crying. I was never really worried, though, because I saw her moving. The word the docs kept using was that she was "stunned." Come to think of it, maybe I was too!

PikoPiko good luck on the GTT. Also dealing with witching hour(s) here from about 6-8 or 9. She's also recently just decided to eat that entire time, and the cluster feeding is leading to a longer stretch at night than her previous 2 or 3 hour stint. I hope that is the case for you!

My period came back yesterday. I'M ONLY 7 WEEKS PP! And EBF on demand. THIS ISN'T FAIR! I swear it came back even faster than last time, and that my PP bleeding lasted longer than last time too. It just finished up right before my after-care visit. So I've only been pad free for like a week or two. Gah. With my luck, my next baby is going to be 10 lbs 6 oz and my PP bleeding will run straight into my first PP period.

LO cried pretty much all afternoon. Ugh. I'm ready for the 6 week fussiness to go away. I want my sweet, calm, happy baby back. Today he slept from 12-1, woke up and ate 3 oz (i offered 4 but he didn't want to finish the bottle) then cried from 1:30-2:30 when I took him for a walk. That calmed him down, he cried till 3:46 when I offered him another bottle, and cried for an hour and a half till I offered him 2 oz. He passed out after the last 2 oz and has been asleep for an hour.

I'm frustrated because I think he might want 4oz or maybe a little more, but his tummy can't quite hold it all at once. In between the feedings I tried everything, rocking, singing, quiet, diaper change, burping etc. It seems to be happening in the afternoon only, he's fine in the mornings.

Spam for today:

Anxiety is high today but I'm working through it. My sub is an idiot and is bombarding me with emails. Today he sent one and then went to find my husband because he needed some information. My husband couldn't figure it out so he had to call me because my sub had to get the issue figured out before class started. I'm writing an email to my department chairs and principal telling them that they have to get the sub in check because he shouldn't be contacting me. He is being paid to do a job, so he needs to do it. Ugh, I truly hate incompetent people!

Right now, I am being lazy while Brady sleeps and watching the HBO documentary Going Clear about Scientology. This shit is crazy! ***Sorry if you are a scientologist, but this documentary is bat-shit crazy. If this stuff is true, I have no words for it.

Boo to the drama with the sub.

I have that documentary recorded and can't wait to watch it. And yes. They are crazy!!!!!

[cougarette]

PikoPiko Good luck! It's probably a good sign that it didn't make you as sick this time!

[cloe111479]

Long day. Bad work week. Two trials. I'm exhausted and we still have a big hearing tomorrow.

I told DH no one is to come to our house or bother me Friday. I sleep and don't get out of pjs. That's fhe plan.

I'm exhausted.

[cougarette]

I got my leave extended from 5/1 to 5/20!

[cougarette]

DS has baby acne all over his head, in his hair too. It's hard to just leave it alone. Should I try rubbing some bm on it?

Edited because had =/= has. Stoopid swype

[lilyelayne]

cloe111479 I'm sorry your week is so rough. Internet hugs.

Just catching up on spam. Busy day. Took pictures of LO for his 2 month this morning then got out and went to a hikes with tykes walk which was fun. Loads of little guys running all over the place and I got to try out the ergo for longer then I had before. LO has been a cranky mess since we got home though. He's been crying more today then he has in a few weeks and was eating once and hour. Wonder week or growth sourt...no idea! He is finally in a better mood and playing in his pnp hopefully getting tierd and ready to sleep

[cougarette]

I can sympathize, flyster. DS was fussy all afternoon. He would cry off and on from about 3 to 7. When DH got home he took over so I could nap. Don't know what got into him. He calmed down when we gave him a bath though and he's down for the night.

[flyster]

We did the bath too which helped . Now nursing and fingers crossed sleeping!

[mamabutt2]

DH and I finally got our taxes completed today. We had to find SS's social security # in order to claim him this year. Bio mom was zero help with this. I'm assuming because she wanted to claim him two years in a row. :mad: Not nice lady. The deal was every other year.

Other than that, LO and I had a very uneventful day. Although he has been asleep since about 7:30/8 this evening and only woke up to nurse a bit, scream, then put himself back to sleep when I left to find his other binky. Came back in the room to him sleeping away! I'm shocked that he's still asleep now at 11! I'm just afraid that this means he'll be ready to go for the day at 3 or 4am though :/
Fingers crossed I'm wrong!

[PikoPiko]

Thanks for all the well wishes re: GTT.

LO is behaving better today during the day. Hopefully he'll behave tonight too and let me have some rest.

BTW, Achievement unlocked: Witching Hour successfully averted.
