Wide Awake Wednesday!

[spacedcadet]

DS slept through the night!!!! I feel like a new woman. I'm sure that this means that tonight will be horrible, but I will celebrate today.  How is everyone doing on this hump day?  Any good news?  WTF's? 

[doglover31]

That's so awesome that DS slept through the night!

I cannot wait to have one of those nights myself!

I would like to WTF my body...I got the Mirena IUD back in November. And for the last month I keep feeling like AF is going to happen then it doesn't. I'm so tired of it. I'm tempted to make a call to my OB to see what he says....but I don't want to waste my time if I am just going to be told everything I'm going through is normal.

[jt2378]

spacedcadet, sooooo lucky and happy for you, I would be rejoicing as well!! Can't wait for the day!

doglover31, I'm pretty sure most people don't get a period with the IUD but I'm not completely sure. I have been waiting for AF's return and loving it not being here, that will be a crappy day when she makes her comeback, LOL

My good news is my MIL got her lymph node biopsies back and all came back negative! What a huge relief, she still needs chemo but we are so thankful it did not spread to the lymph nodes!

My WTF is still work related, can't get my head out of the sand here!

I will second WTF to my body, its way too TMI to go into with you ladies but lets just say I don't think anything will ever return to normal down there, UGH not sure if I should call OB or its just the new norm. Either way it sucks!!

[spacedcadet]

Thank you! I was shocked! This is maybe the 3rd time that this has happened and I think once was after shots. He slept 9:30 - 5:30, woke up, had a bottle, and then went back to sleep for about an hour while I got ready for work. I woke up at 5 and had to go check on him. When he went right back to sleep, I was worried that something was wrong, but he woke up and seemed fine. Who knows?

[spacedcadet]

WTF bodies indeed. I hope you guys start feeling better/ getting relief.

doglover31 - it can't hurt to call, even if it's just for the peace of mind that what you are feeling is normal or expected anyway.

You too, jt2378. Also, glad to see the good news about your MIL. Hopefully the chemo helps, and she can heal.

anniebn - I hope your allergies and boob feel better soon.

Could be the 9 month growth spurt early? I love how they say babies can sleep more in growth spurts, not my DD! She refuses to rest, haha!

Maybe DS is starting to figure this sleep thing out, wouldn't that be nice?

[doglover31]

anniebn, so far the Mirena has been great. I've had spotting off and on, then have what I think is AF then it stops then a few days later spotting again. Its been this cycle for the last month! Glad you are feeling better!

jt2378,great news about your MIL! Hope work gets better for you!

spacedcadet, we had our longest stretch ever with DS when he got his first set of shots. He slept like 7 hours....and that has never happened again!

I don't know. I think the last time he sttn was a growth spurt, which meant he was then a bottomless pit and was up every 3 hours to eat. But he has been doing that already for like the last month it seems so I don't know.  We will see what happens tonight, I guess.

Hooray for sleeping babies. My fingers are always crossed for you ladies!

Also, WTF body. I though I was getting my first PP period last week because I spotted for 2 seconds. But then nothing. And I stepped on the scale this morning and have gained a couple pounds. So now, of course, I'm flipping the fuck out because I'm cuckoo for coco puffs and have convinced myself I'm knocked up and that was implantation bleeding.

jt2378, re: your TMI. I am going in for my annual exam in 2 weeks and will be asking ALL OF THE QUESTIONS. I hope to God this isn't the new normal.

Oh boy! Keep us posted if you POAS !!!

And please let me know what your OB says (PM if you want). I should just call and go in but I'm scared of the answer!!!

[doglover31]

judyblume14, keep us updated if you decide to test!

[jt2378]

@beckaroo, its judyblume14 we are waiting to hear about POAS! LOL

OMG, keep us posted beckaroo!! GL!

I would probably secretly be excited and then reality would set in and I would freak the F out!

+1 for awesome sleeping babies and WTF with bodies.

AF came back for me pretty early even when I was EB but I feel like it came back worse. I have really really bad cramps and it lasts for 6 days. Ugh.

WTF to my LO losing her mind in the bath tub last night when I was trying to giver her a bath. It was the first time transitioning from the sink tub to the real tub. Don't know what I'm gonna do. *sigh* She's too big for the little tub now, but she was crying so much she was shaking. I felt so bad.

alioop1028, I know I hear PP periods can be awful, ugh sorry yours have been!

Poor LO, that stinks! Here is the tub we use for DD: tub 

I feel like it looks smaller here than it actually is. DD is on the bigger side and she still fits in it fine...She insists on sitting up now instead of laying down of course! I'm nervous to use the big tub because I don't think she will like it either so I'm holding out for now

ETA: I love your siggy and wish I could figure out how to GIF

[doglover31]

@beckaroo, yes that is judyblume14 that is POAS. not me! DH and I are OAD. So that would definitely be a surprise! Keep us updated!

alioop1028, I got AF back early too even while EBF. I think DS was 8 weeks old. I was so upset....that was supposedly one "perk" of BF that AF would stay away. Not for this girl.

[jt2378]

doglover31, I'm an idiot what does "OAD" stand for?

[doglover31]

jt2378, one and done

Nice! So you still use this on your sink area. I think I'm gonna go out and get this today! Lol

It's hard to gif on mobile. I'm on the computer at work so I just "copy image URL" and paste it in the little image icon in the post window.

I thought the same thing! Haha It was so nice not having AF during pregnancy. I was like "I better lose the weight BF then!" Nope. Didn't happen. Mother nature was rude.

Whoops sorry to be confusing! No, I use it in the big bath tub, it would definitely be too big for the sink area

I would probably secretly be excited and then reality would set in and I would freak the F out!

That would probably be my reaction too!  In theory, I want 2 kids...but I kind of go back and forth on it every day it seems.  I think, "I'll be ok with getting KU right now", and then when AF time gets close, I start panicking.  

@beckaroo, judyblume14 - Good luck POAS!

spacedcadet, so don't leave us hanging, how did DS sleep last night?!

He slept ok...he was back to "normal" which is better than I was expecting. We had a little trouble getting him down, so he went to sleep at around 11, then woke up at 3, had a bottle and then went back to sleep until around 6.

That would be heaven in this household! LOL i would take an 11:00 bedtime if it meant 4 hours!

Good Gravy! What a day. I missed my lunchtime pump. When I went to the mothers room for my afternoon pump, the damn thing wouldn't turn on. So, I had to stop and get batteries (and pregnancy tests). Thankfully Ameda is sending me a new powercord over the weekend.

Equally thankfully, Lucy will remain an only child for at lease a little while longer!

Truth be told, I was a teensy bit disappointed. Because I miss the teeny tiny new baby phase. But I'm okay with waiting a little longer to get back to that!

Glad to hear you got the news you were hoping for but I hear you! I have all the baby feels lately but know it is definitely not the right time.

Hope tomorrow is a less crazy day
