Ain't had a hot meal in forever, so I'm eating a cookie My undercarriage stitches mean I'm getting no nookie And now my husband's hiding out cause he hears G is fussing But he knows he better get him or else I'll start cussing
I'm talking 'bout everyone getting thrush (thrush) Midnight feedings I try to rush (rush) My letdown's starting to gush (gush)
Now, now, I NIP 'til they kick me out (out) But I just stare them down (down) Bitchface stare them down (down) Bitchface stare them dowwwwwwn
Nip slip in public Like I really give a shit Tonight, Imma cry Cause you'll wake up seven times Til tok on the clock But the fussing won't stop Whoa-oh oh oh Whoa-oh oh oh
This is amazing. My cousin and I have big dreams to write, record, and produce parody pop songs for teachers to use in the classroom to teach concepts. Example: Talk Dirty to Me becomes Speak Figuratively. We want to be really dorky and make music videos and go on elementary school tours. We will totally sign you to our label, you clearly have a gift for this
Uh, I'm a massive nerd and actually did write a song about the evolutionary process for a science class project in high school, set to the theme from American Bandstand.
T slept from 10pm until 2am when I woke her to feed (I'm only suppose to give her 4 hours at night in between feeds). She went back to sleep until 530am. Then again until 9am. I feel so refreshed. Granted she slept in our bed all night but we all are in a better mood today!

Late to the party!
motownthrowdown that video was awesome! ajetter Rodeo Queen for sure! bibliothecary You realize that you could fund G's entire college expenses if you made a YouTube video with your lyrics! I feel very positive on this. At least sell the lyrics to some mommy YouTube star.
B thinks breathing while eating is for Chumps! It never fails that he chokes. Every time. It's never during my let down though which looks like this lately.
I swear it's one step forward and two steps back. A was 8lbs, 10oz at birth (Saturday) and at her first check up had lost 10 oz because my milk wasn't in. The doc gave us formula to supplement and I cried in the office and the whole way home. I felt like a failure. I spent all day doing skin to skin and nursing. Thursday we went back for a weight check and baby girl gained 2 oz which exceeded expectations and we never used the formula! Then of course she was a fussy feeder the rest of the day and went 5 hours without feeding overnight. I know some of you would kill for that but I just was awake watching her trying to get her to wake up so I could feed her. Finally we are nursing again. I know it hasn't even been a week yet so I'm being irrational but I just want to get the hang of this damn thing!!!
When I was told to supplement 8 days after her birth I cried the whole way home. A hysterical ugly cry and just kept saying I was starving her. We only supplement 2-3 oz a day and she's gaining like a champ now. I think my supply has increased finally. I save the formula for night feedings because it def helps her sleep!

DSHM13 I went through a 1.5 lb weight loss with LO before he finally started gaining. We did end up giving formula as a supplement 2x a day and I felt so awful about it. I wanted to be able to give him everything he needs. You can do this. I found that if I pumped it helped me because I knew he was getting X amount another 2x a day. Trying to wake them to eat is the worst but it gets better. I promise!
After lots of heating pads, warm shower, massage, pumping I cannot get this breast to drain at all. I got maybe half an oz when I should have no trouble getting 3oz minimum. It's getting bigger and redder by the minute. Seriously, if it wasn't wildly innspropriate I'd post a picture. My left boob is easily twice the size of the right. I'm fairly concerned, so off to the doctor... Looks like mastisis #3? I might just be done with pumping/BF.

elizabethnevadap GL on your appt. Also, "waste of money- snip snip DEAD!" Is cracking me up. Tiny old Asian women amuse me and also terrify me to no ends. I had one in the mall chase me down and follow me around once trying to get me to try a new nail salon. I ran and hid, no shame.
If this child doesn't stop punching and scratching my boobs when she's eating, I swear I'm going to swaddle her and wrap her in duct tape. My skin is raw from her repeatedly beating me up.
I'm not going to duct tape her. But the idea makes me smile.
I also put a pan on the stove to cook lunch, put oil in the pan, and then walked away from it and forgot about it til the house was full of smoke. My FIL, who've I met once before, is staying with us. This is his second impression of me. Hi, I'm the mother of your grandchild and I like to set shit on fire. Oops.

I'm really trying to get some BFing going after pumping nonstop in the NICU. Now that we can hold her basically however, it's actually possible! Her latch seems to be great (thank goodness!!) but she doesn't seem to eat as much as with a bottle. And it's a slooooooow feeding. Also. The type A in me can't stand the fact that I don't know exact how much she's eating. In the NICU they told me that 15 minutes of solid eating basically translates to 2 oz for them. But based on what I'm pumping afterwards, she's getting about half that in 15 minutes.
H made me cry on the way to my cousin's house. She made me feel better when I got there. I'm feeling really emotional distant from H lately, he keeps hurting my feelings and it feels like he's more concerned with how everyone but me feels. We need to have a talk but I have a friend coming over in a like bit. So that well have to happen either later tonight or tomorrow morning. I'm really hoping he listens to me and doesn't get defensive. I've also been doing a terrible job taking care of myself, I didn't really the the time to eat until 3:30. Really hiking I can get myself turned around this weekend because I'm not doing great right now.

DH and I did our grocery shopping at Costco. The cashier recognized us and suggested we upgrade our membership since we are their so frequently. Yikes...
DH is at his interview for a promotion. Based on what he's heard, I think he stands a good chance. Fingers crossed.

So after two MD visits yesterday and another one today since DS breathing had gotten worse (stridor and using assessory muscles for breathing last night). He has HFM with sores only in his mouth and nebulizer treatments until his breathing improves. Fast forward two hours while we're at the pharmacy and both boys go into meltdown mode. It took all of my power to not bust into tears until we got in the car. It got so bad that I had my mom drive an hour up here to come help me. Not sure I would have survived without her last night. Ben and I are also now sick with stuffy nose, but that's it. This week can be over any time. I miss H.

I was told by my LC to never base how much your baby is getting by breast by how much you pump. They can draw more than a pump can. I totally feel you on the whole not knowing how much they are getting thing. I just have to trust that if she's hungry she will make it known.
