DS2 and I are sleeping in the living room to not disturb DH, but I can't get comfy. Good news - I pumped 2 1/3 oz - my most yet. (I know some of you pump like 8 oz in a session, but I am not there - ha ha.) Bad news - my right nipple is super sore. I hope it's better in the morning!
Random - this thread title reminded me that my H's coworker's DIL is super fertile, and when she went back for her 6 week PP checkup, she was already pregnant with #2. OMG. That would be impossible for me because I didn't even start my period with DS1 until 11 months PP. And also you have to have sex to get pregnant, and I don't think that will be happening before the 6 week appointment.
ETA: We moved back to the bedroom. I'm comfy now, but DS2 is grunting in his bassinet. Sleep, baby!

yikes, being pregnant at my 6 week pp visit would be a nightmare. Luckily I won't be having sex before I get the all clear and even afterwards idk when that will happen. Sex is scary lol
Well I feel like it was bound to happen but my beyond amazing husband was such a asshole last night! It was his birthday and I killed myself to make it good! Got up did everything for the kids so he could sleep in. Raced all over to get stuff to make his favorite dinner and a cake. Then did everything for the kids when he got home so he could have a few hours to himself to watch TV and just unwind. Cue bedtime I am freaking exhausted and he gets pissed at me because I don't want to give him a BJ. Honestly I was so mad I was in tears he said he would of rather that then everything else I do. Ughhhhhh look I get it its your birthday and we can't have sex but really. Sorry rant over!
I'm now the resident bitch in FI's family because I don't want visitors for the next few days, especially not ones who just invite themselves over, and I kicked his parents out from visiting last weekend after almost 2 hours. Too bad. I'm barely holding it together as it is; family can back the fuck off for a while

Good for you for kicking them out! This is the biggest mistake I made when DS was first born. I really think that constantly entertaining and not taking time for quiet contributed to my baby blues in a big way.
Sometimes you just need everyone to fuck off so you can rest, bond, and process the major life change that just happened.

People really don't get it. Between the hospital and the first week and a half home I had visitors, sometimes two a day. I didn't do anything for them but if I want to take a nap I want to take a nap, and there is no reason why I need to go upstairs to pump. I would have BF in front of friends and family....but there is something about hooking myself up like a cow I don't think people need to see.
People are all about the baby and forget about mom.
O slept good again last night. We have a little routine starting. We put him down around 10, he wakes up at 2 and 5 to eat/get changed. I take the 2 am feed and DH takes the 5 am feed. I also pump after both feeds. I bring him downstairs after he's done at 5 and put him in the swing so DH can get another hour of sleep before starting his day. I can handle this schedule until the next thing throws it off whack!
I have a Drs appointment today about my BP. It went as high as 170/90 in the hospital and was still elevated after O was born. I haven't checked it at home, but theres a good chance I have hypertension and will be going on meds today.
Mommy guilt: I feel guilty pumping. Not because I'm not breastfeeding, the choice to EP fits our life and what we want to do. But when he is awake when I'm pumping I try to interact with him, but I can't help but feel like I'm missing time and closeness being hooked up for atleast two hours a day

Oh, no no no no.... I'd be crying too. Sorry he was such a spoiled brat.
I have 4 little bears, just like my name says. 2 girls 2 boys ages 8,5,3, and my newest babe. 2 of my little bears have life threatening food allergies, feel free to ask me more about that!

Yes, I'm so sorry that happened. People are so inconsiderate at times.
alfiesMOM, sorry your H was a jerk. DH said on Wednesday that he had a dream that I gave him a BJ. The funny thing is that I had the same dream the same night. But so far it's just a dream. I don't like doing that unless it's foreplay for sex.
@nursesouder, pumping - ugh. I KWYM about pumping while LO is next to you. I've given him a bottle before while I was pumping, and DH was like, "Wouldn't it just be easier to BF him?" But sadly, with our latch issues, it's not.

His mother had already pissed me off that day during her visit-- it was the first "sunny" day we had and DS was slight jaundice. Pedi told us to give him sun naps, so I had him in the window when the sun was finally at it. Less than 10 minutes after she arrives, she has the camera shoved in his face for 15 minutes. We only get a few minutes of good sun in this weather, if at all. I simply asked that she wait until the sun set (so about 20 minutes after they arrive) before taking pictures. Her and FFIL just scoffed at me for caring about it. They showed up at 4p. I wanted them gone by 6p, preferably before that. 5:45p rolls around and they show no signs of leaving, just holding the baby while he sleeps-- which we asked them to not do, put him down once he's asleep-- so I just walked out and grabbed him the moment he made a fuss so they'd take the hint. He was only 6 days old at that point
She calls last night to say that FI's aunt and uncle are coming this weekend to visit the baby. Uh, no, they are not. Sorry, you don't call and tell me that were having visitors when we haven't had a day alone with our son yet. I told her that I think we're going to take a few days of no visitors since were finally alone for the first time. Cue baby screaming and I tell her FI will call her back since he's feeding the baby.
I take baby and he calls. She's apparently balling because I was so rude to her, asking FI "is this what family fucking means now? I cooked all this food for you guys on Sunday and you kicked me out!!" He proceeds to go "she's having a really hard time, blah blah blah." Yeah, thanks dude, no need to share the fact that I'm an unconsolable mess 90% of the time, especially with your mother who can't keep her damn mouth shut about anything.
I'm still livid this morning. I made FI take care of baby last night until I felt like getting up. 5am rolls around and little man is getting fussy. He's trying to shush him, and didn't like the comment I made of it's time for him to get up. Baby wakes up between 4-5:30a for a bottle and cuddle time. We do this every morning while FI sleeps in; he just never noticed the time
My mom is going to watch LO tomorrow while FI and I help our friends move into their new house! I know she's excited, but so am I. Sometimes on the weekend I just want to tell FI that I just need one good full night of sleep and that he can wake up with the baby. I doubt it ever really happens but it's worth a shot.

I swear there is a ghost in my house. I've been looking for B'd blue nuk for days yesterday I looked under my bed, moved my bed and emptied out the pocket underneath his cosleeper no luck. Reached in his cosleeper for a diaper this morning and what to you know, blue nuk. Oh and my not do favorite MIL is babysitting tonight. I am having my first big girl drink other than wine tonight and I'm excited. Bring in the decision of Jack Daniels or Devils Cut.

DH wanted to go out to eat last night to our favorite Mexican restaurant. It's pretty small and never super busy, but LO was such a fuss bucket yesterday that I vetoed the idea, even though I really wanted to go. Maybe this weekend...

Here's to hoping the dictator is in a better mood today. DH was taking care of him and he spit up all over the infant napper in the pack n play last night. All I can do is laugh because that was basically my entire day yesterday. LO is farting up a storm and I'm a little scared of what I'll find when I change him.
Can barely sleep sure to stuffy nose/can't breathe, plus I had a terrifying dream that my inlaws were delivering my baby who was breech. I have my nst and fluids check today so at least I can ask about the position, although I feel low hiccups so I think all is well

Getting ready to take LO to get his circumcision, someone please hold me! I support DH's decision to have it done, I just hate taking my little boy to the doctor in general

I'm so glad I didn't watch LO get his done. I don't think I would've handled it very well.

I don't know if I will be able to either, but I want to be there to comfort him if I can. I am so glad hubby is going with us!

Both boys for their circumcisions done in the hospital. I was showering when they took DS2 and still in the bathroom when he returned. I didn't know he got it done until I came out. Thanks H. B slept through his.
On a side note, the basketball games that were supposed to take place tonight were cancelled due to illness in the other school. I will cry if it's measles. They've already had one case here in MN. I don't want it that close to home. We need spring.

Which kind is he getting? DS1 had it done the traditional way, but DS2 had the plastibell. The plastibell didn't seem to bother him and there wasn't any bleeding. But I hated sending them off.

He is using the traditional clamping method. His daddy is in there with him right now (What a good daddy, I couldn't bear to watch...) and I am going to feed him as soon as he comes out, here's to hoping breast milk makes everything better!
