Thank you, Dearest Jake, for remembering that night time is for sleeping. Mommy loves you. He slept from 11 to 3 and then from 330 to 6 and 630 to 10. Thank you Jebus, Mommy needed sleep. It was every hour the 2 nights before. He's now eating on both boobs at feedings, if I try to get away w one he's crying maybe 20 mins later if that. He had also realized that having a dirty diaper isn't fun and cries when he's dirty.
As much as I hate winters up North, this late summer/early fall weather IS GORGEOUS! 70s and sun and zero humidity. It doesn't feel hot or cold just perfect. I forgot what this is like. We don't have this in Florida.
Our LC apt was great. He's 9lbs 10oz (8.4 at birth). She suggested leaning back during feedings to slow my flow so maybe he won't pull off to cough. So now I have to feed him upright and lean back..
I'm going to start pumping 1-2x daily to build a stash.
I have my first PP migraine today and cannot take the medication I took while pregnant (fioricet). I talked with LC and his dr about meds I can take and then I put a call into my OB for a new script (imitrex) but even with that medicine I'll have to pump and dump for 8-12 hours (per his pediatricians orders). I really hope my migraines don't come back full force. If they do, I'm really scared I'll have to stop BF so I can take the proper medication. I'm dealing with the one I have today (took a Percocet and it took the edge off and made me high..) because I only have 3 feedings stored currently.. If it gets worse I do have some sample formula I can give him but really want to avoid it if I can.
Winnie is sooo congested. Every time I put breast milk or saline up her nose, she acts like I'm waterboarding her. And the bulb syringe--it makes me the worst mom ever. My poor little baby!
+1. O was sounding like a pig eating this morning so I got the bulb. A few minutes later and he was crying real tears and I didn't even get it all. I rush ordered a nose Frida that should be here tomorrow.
It's weird, but you'll love it. Make sure you get a box of refill filters b

So sorry about your migraines. Among the 1000 other issues I had bf'ibg my first, my migraines were so bad I had to go back on preventatives and birth control to control my hormones asap. Hope you're better soon.

+1. A screams like crazy with the syringe but I've gotten super quick at it and she stops crying immediately afterwards. I was telling my H there's something super satisfying in getting her boogers out and he said that makes me weird. I seriously feel so accomplished when I clear her nose...maybe I am weird.

So it's after 10am here and A is still sleeping. She was awake at 8:30 and ate for 5 minutes...then I put her in the RnP so I could wash my face /brush my teeth and came back to change and unswaddle her and she was passed out. I probably could have done something more productive this morning than sit here eating my breakfast and watching her sleep. I just keep thinking she'll wake any moment.
Just found out H is going on Adderall tomorrow for ADD. I'm worried about mood changes and how it will affect our family.
I was on adderall for about 4 years, I just quit when I got my bfp. It worked miracles with me. I got so much done, things I needed to get done and then some. It focused me, and helped me sort out my 935992 simultaneous thoughts I have every second. Didn't really affect my mood, if anything I was happier bc I was actually getting stuff done. One thing, I took the regular 20mg pills. After a few hours, I'd crash and feel zombie-ish. So I broke up my meds throughout the day to prevent that. If he can get XRs, extended release, it works out better (for me at least). It can also cause trouble sleeping since it's an upper.
My 3 yr old is getting in my nerves. I can't take it. Someone who had an older kido tell me it gets better.
It gets better, then worse, then better again, then worse... and I guess repeat until they move out. I haven't experienced teenage years yet but so far it's accurate.

Welp, there's a discrepancy in the criminal record for the husband of the woman that I was hoping to be able to care for Liam. Hopefully there's a good explanation behind it. I knew it was too good to be true.

Thank you
Did you have to stop BF when you got back on the preventative?
Mine have never been related to hormones in the past. Main triggers are weather changes and ha, sleep and stress. I assume that hormones could have a lot to do with it now though since I'm going through so many changes. We do have a big front moving in though.
Yesterday I made a comment to H along the lines of, "obviously I'm starving the baby, can't you tell my his double chin?" DD pipes up with, "He has a chin just like Mommy." Way to kill what was left of my self esteem kid.

I take propanolol for migraine prevention and you can take it breastfeeding

Awesome! Does your OBGYN prescribe it or your primary? I haven't seen a neurologist since we moved here almost 3 years ago... I wonder if my OB would give that to me. I'm still waiting for them to call me back about imitrex.

Ok am I the only one completely disgusted by the nose frieda??? I went to buy it and when I saw that you had to suck it out I was a whole bunch of nope and it went back on the shelf. Saline and nose aspirater is working just fine.
I haven't consumed the nosa frida kool-aid. I can't bring myself to physically suck the snot out of my kid's face. I know people swear by it but nope!

So I'm not sure if Amelia's sutures are infected. I sent a message to the pediatrician and they said it sounds like a common reaction, but I don't like it. It looks like there are whiteheads at the suture points and then there's one along the incision line.
PT is coming this afternoon and then I'm probably going to take her in. Maybe PT can talk me down lol.
I have complained about my upstairs neighbors & their concrete shoes + stomping rituals before. Well now that we've complained about them to management and the stomping stopped, they've decided to bring their dogs down to shit in front of our apartment and not clean it up multiple times every day. What the fuck.

My sweet neighbor found out she had a miscarriage this AM. I'm giving her the info for this site so she has a place to talk about it. Please pray for her family if you're into that sort of thing.

I was on it for 2 years. It worked wonders for my concentration but I was a complete bitch. God forbid you disturbed me while I was in the middle of something. I was just not a pleasant person, hence why I stopped taking it.

T&P for her and her family. I hope she finds her way here, or has another support system she can lean on.
