Dude, the newborn haze has begun. So remember when I thought we had crappy sleep with R at night? Well now sleeping every 4 hours seems like a good deal.
I contacted my old therapist on Monday morning about something she was supposed to send in May to licensing. Still fricken waiting. It is the literal one thing standing between us and the twins. If it isn't sent in this morning, that means for sure that we won't be licensed at least until next week because they don't work on Fridays. I could just cry about it, well TBH, I have cried about it several times.
karlamo - ahhh the newborn haze! I am sure it will be crazy and exhausting, but hopefully also awesome, rewarding and fantastic. I will be thinking of you and your family! I hope Mamosey is able to take a decent amount of time off from work to be home with all of you. Hugs!
shemarie82 - Is there anyone else you can call to try to expedite what the therapist is supposed to be sending? That seems really frustrating. I'm sorry. Thinking of you!
A few randoms from me this AM... *Excited to meet some former Bumpies this weekend!
*I am trying a different breakfast this AM in hope that it doesn't make me feel sick. Scrambled eggs and veggies. We will see...
*I don't think I have been drinking enough water lately. I need to work on that!
I wish that there was kh826, but she runs her own practice. I know that my priority isn't necessarily her's but I am so frustrated!
Rather than just being a Debbie downer, last night we went to a Foster Family picnic and it was great. There we 3 other same sex couple's there that are foster parents. It was nice to be able to connect a little bit and start to form some relationships with those people. We don't really have any LBGT friends, so maybe this will be a good step toward having some new friends.

Ransoms: DW had taken a break from the drag king troupe she performs with during TTC. I feel bad for her because she truly loves the performance, but the show is always the last Thursday of the month, which is always during her cycle, shots, or right after insem. ? and the meds make her feel so sick. However, tonight we might just go watch for something fun to do DW hasn't watched a show with her peers performing in probably 4 years, it could be really fun to go.
Work is picking up with all of the students back, so the days are busier which is nice. We also launched Pumpkin today, a week before Starbucks so we will be BUSY with that.
I'm leading a district meeting next week and I'm nervous.
ALSO I got busted at work today, I deserved it and all bc I was being snarky, but I feel like a prick. I was totally making fun of this woman at Drive Thru, I thought she left, and then all of a sudden I Turn around and she goes "I can hear you". I said "oh I'm sorry have a great day" and shut the window. FML. The story goes "I said oh you have a medium light roast coffee, and she goes a medium half caf, in super bitch mode. I said yep it's a halfcaf and it's super hot" she then said "oh well you didn't say halfcaf." I just kinda stared at her, and she took her coffee. I then turned around and lightly made fun of her to my co workers, and ....yea. I'm the worst ever.
Ellis is 9 days old today and manada and I are settling into a routine (just in time for her to go back to work Wednesday of next week )
We are so very happy to have E but it has been tough. Post partum hormones were not my friends, especially days 4-6. And now we are doing an intensive feeding schedule because E isn't gaining weight. I feed her from one breast for 20 min then hand her off to M who bottle feeds her 2oz of expressed breastmilk (what I've been able to pump plus some donated breast milk from a friend) and while she's doing that, I pump both breasts for 20min to try to build up the supply. We're going to do this for 48-72 hours and then have her reweighed. The midwife's theory is that she's just too little to have the sucking power she needs to get enough food while not burning too many calories eating. She's hydrated and not listless so there's not a worry for her health and safety but obviously we all want to get her gaining weight.
****loss and living child discussed***** We're queer. I'm 34, have severe stage 4 endo, and both fallopian tubes are gone. My love ("Manada" 33) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tav.in and Ca.sey at 21 weeks gestation.

Sorry to hear post partum has been tough. It gets better. Hope you are able to get some rest when you can. And I hope Ellis starts eating more. I remember C lost a little weight the first week but started gaining like a champ thereafter.
It really does get better. For me at least the first 2 weeks were the toughest.
We are still sick. C is overall better but I feel like my head is going to explode. I'm a bit of a baby when I am sick though.
My mom is in town for a meeting and is stopping by shortly. The house is such a mess but I haven't had energy to pick up and watch C. Thank god she isn't a neat freak like my ILs. Although they are going to be here Saturday so eventually we are going to have to clean the house, dammit. She said if I wasn't up for it she didn't have to stop by but I want to see her. Maybe that wasn't the best judgment call.
healz413 - the first 2 weeks are TOUGH! Hang in there! I remember between week 2 and week 3 I started feeling a lot better and so did William. We got into a bit of a routine, and I felt more human. I'm sorry to hear that E is struggling a little with weight gain, but it sounds like you and manada are doing a great job as a team. Fingers crossed for some weight gain at her next appointment!
I am training someone at work and they have basically moved into my office. It is hard to mess around online when you have someone staring at your computer screen all day. Plus, my introverted self is in desperate need of alone time. Sadly, it is going to be this way for a long while I fear.
I am ready for fall tv. There is nothing good on right now.
4th grade is going well and they both seem really happy. YAY!!!
