Today is my birthday, and to start the celebrations, A spent all of last night fighting sleep, screaming whenever we set him down in his crib no matter how tired and drowsy he was in our arms, and wanting to feed every 2-3 hours (when he's usually able to do 4-5 hr stretches at night). E had the right idea, though -- straight down without a fuss, 6 hr stretch, followed by a 4 hr stretch, and then another bonus hour.
Is it bad that I have a favourite child today?
Happy birthday! It's my birthday too!
H forgot until he had left the house for the day. I thought about asking daycare to have DD1 make a card for me, but I thought that would be too pathetic.
Had my 6 week check up yesterday and all is back to normal. Md agreed if we want a third that birth control isn't a good idea. I almost laughed when he asked if we had sex yet. The desire is there but we have two kids in our bed and Alexis basically attaches herself to the boob around 8 and doesn't let up until 10.
Oh good! I was hoping I wasn't the only one with a leech in the evenings. Delilah nurses to sleep at night. We start at 8 and she goes back and forth to each side a couple of times before she's finally asleep enough to put down.

So my incision did open up a small lil bit so I'm going back in two weeks to have it checked again. On another note I remember I had some belly overhang after my first section but I can't remember at what point it went away. I feel like I have a giant floppy belly that won't go away . I'm still up about 25-30 pounds. I go back to work Monday and I have every intention of repeatedly telling everyone baby is 6 weeks to validate why I'm still fluffy. I also need to find leggings. Where can I buy leggings???
You know how you shake an etch-a-sketch to erase things? When E is on the boob and sleepy but fighting it, if I jiggle her she falls asleep instantly. I can't put her down but she is out!
T has barely slept in the past 12 hours, just 10-15 minutes here and there. I really hope this does not carry over into the night time. Please sleep baby girl.
Interviewed a nanny yesterday. We liked her but the family she is with now and would be with on days she's not with us doesn't vaccinate. She's had tdap and flu but I'm not sure if it's an issue for me or not. I guess I need to look into any other vaccines that maybe she could get to keep us covered.
That's annoying. I'm not sure what I'd do. I appreciate her honesty. On one hand i'm sure the chances are small that she'd bring something to B. But on the other hand what if.... Ugh good luck with your decision. Maybe ask the pedi for advice?
Talked to his doc. He thinks as long as she has the TDAP & flu and isn't coming straight from their house it would be a very small chance B would catch anything, especially since he's started his immunizations. That's a relief.
I finally reached out to my doctor about ppd. I have a counseling apt tomorrow. I've never been to a counselor, so I am nervous, but hoping I can get myself in a better place.

laurasuzanne2006 how is your incision opening up? How many weeks pp are you? This is the most horrifying thing I've heard in a while. I'm sorry.
And target carries leggings. They might even have some in the maternity section, not that you still need maternity, but since leggings are spandex-y, you might want extra belly room.
I also saw my oald in action today. I had a solid stream for three minutes. As soon as I touched my boob it started again. I got almost a full ounce. Crazy. But made hand expressing much easier.
