Screw you, fenugreek. I did not want a letdown so forceful that it drowns my child. I have to say, milking myself into the bathroom sink to relieve pressure is something I could have done without.
I am in the same situation but extremely thankful it worked! It has changed my outlook on BFing to make me think we can actually do this. I am so relieved. Bring on the pressure! Ok, not too much though.

Wait. I thought you were dealing with oversupply? Why are you taking fenugreek? I felt like my boobs were going to explode when I was taking fenugreek! Don't google that one for gif purposes unless you want nightmares.
I was. Then they slowed down and I'm going back to work soon and I got stupid. Fear makes me do dumb shit.
My boobs need to get with the program. Baby T is asleep in her pnp. The tiny creature on me is furry and has a tail. We do not nurse the cat. There is no reason for you to be spewing forth milk right now. Quit your leakage. We need to save some for the little hungry human.
I pumped for the first time in a while. Got 4oz. I did it with the intention of H feeding N sometime tonight. I'm lame and want to nurse him... I'll either freeze the milk or let H feed sometime tomorrow depending on how the night goes.
Maybe the bonding has/is finally happening!
I do this too. I'll pump and keep an extra bottle in the fridge for H to feed E, but then I'll be like nah I'd rather just nurse her. Probably bc when she wakes up MOTN, she's already crying and I don't want her to wait the extra time it takes to wake H up and warm the milk. Poor hungry baby.
elizabethnevadap after we got the mamaroo, H sat there watching it for awhile then asked me for one for his birthday lol.
LO is having some kind of tummy trouble. She'll grunt after a feeding like she's constipated (which she's not). I haven't seen anything in her poop to think she might be having reactions to what I'm eating, so I'm at a loss as to why she seems so uncomfortable.

Needs to burp?
They are also getting use to their use to their guts moving things around. Some babies aren't bothered by it while others grunt their way through. At least that's what my ped says.
DS1 wasn't much of a grunter while DS2 grunts in prep of every poop or fart.

I have a major grunter! She does it after eating quite a bit and is very squirmy. I'm thinking its gas. She does that a lot in her sleep too.

Is passing a large blood clot at 2 weeks PP normal? I haven't had any so was surprised. It was smaller than a ping pong ball (which was the threshold to call the dr in my discharge papers). My parents left yesterday so I'm hoping it's just because I was more active today than I have been in the last 2 weeks.,,.

I had one that was pretty large. I was probably about 2 weeks PP. I freaked too but was able to ask some nurses about it because E was still in the hospital. They told me to go to the ER if I continued to have clots that large but that it was likely my placenta scab falling off.
My brother and his kids came for a visit. They went mith H, the kids, and I to the fall festival. My niece and DD wanted to ride the camel and wouldn't go unless I went too.
I felt pretty cool being the only adult joining the fun. I can pass for a 15-16 year old, maybe it wasn't quite as ridiculous looking and I felt. Haha
R just slept for 5 straight hours- that's a record! Just fed her and put her back down. There is probably some German word for the exact feeling of being on pins and needles waiting to see if your child will stay asleep. I am that.

I am so tired of waking up drenched in sweat. I wear a minimal amount of clothing to bed and have only a sheet and light blanket on my bed. Ceiling fan is running almost top speed...idk what else I can do
E pretty much slept all night this weekend. Until 9:30a on Saturday morning & then 5:30a today.. back to sleep until 11a. Well now that it's time for SO to go to work again & I'm responsible for all motn stuff... she was awake already by 1a. It's 2 now with no signs of a peaceful night.

3 a.m. is the point where I find it very hard to like this human I have created. You are fed and changed. Go back to sleep. I do not want to walk you around the kitchen one more time. It is time to sleep and not scream in my face.

We have our AC blasting still in our room. I still need to sleep in just a bra and underwear. Although tonight I did wake up with the sheet on me I was a bit chilly. I can't wait to be able to start wearing a shirt to bed again.

Mia is fighting sleep for the last few nights. The screams and cries are making me nuts! Please let this be a short lived phase! I think I slept maybe a half hour and have to get DS to school in 3 hours.

I feel very lucky that LO (mostly) gives us one 3.5-4 hour stretch at night. However, after that he is up every 2 hours almost on the dot. People who are talking schedules or who get multiple long stretches make me jealous, but I know things could be worse. I just can't even picture what "scheduling" would be like for us since at almost 8 weeks we are still feeding every 2 hours.
