I must be the only one who doesn't get the munchies. I've actually been the opposite. I have to remind myself to eat. I have zero appetite right now and it makes me sad. I don't know what's wrong with me.

I am the exact same. FTM so don't know if this is normal or because I have been slipping on the eating but my boobs are not getting as hard anymore when it's time for him to eat. They use to be painfully full when it was time to eat but now they feel somewhat normal so I don't know if my body is regulating my milk, I'm not eating enough to make it, or my supply in general is declining.

This. DH has been getting on to me, but I can't force feed myself. All I've been wanting is water.

I think I've finally kicked my cold but it has left behind a crazy sore throat. It hurts sooooo bad. Trying to figure out what you can and cannot have while breastfeeding is frustrating. Thank God kellymom exists. My pedi and LC would be so annoyed with my constant questions by now.

I have my pp checkup today to discuss BC. I'm pretty sure I'll be getting the mirena implanted next week. I'm a little terrified to get cleared to DTD. My DH was one of those that was really weirded out by there being a baby in there, so we haven't DTD since I started showing back in like August.
Also someone please join me so I'm not just rambling into the night by myself. This is the only thing keeping me awake right now for DS to eat.
I'm here! LO fell asleep after nursing, and DH finally dozed off again in the crappy hospital recliner. I'm supposed to buzz the nurse so she can take my vitals but haven't cause I don't want to wake DH. She'll come back around, right?
And speaking of stomachs, my linea nigra is still crazy dark.
I know it can stick around for years after a pregnancy. My friend has a 5yr old and an 18 month old and said it never fully went away between kiddos but it did fade

Holy crap that is a long time. My 6 wk pp appointment is next week. I am kind of hesitant too, but it hasn't been that long since we had sex.

Well the night started our great. DS fed at 11 and then slept till 3, one of his longest stretches yet. Since 3 he also woke up at 5 and now 6:30 :/. He really needs to get this sleeping thing figured out. He did sleep in his RNP again after the 3&5 o'clock feedings. So we're making some progress I guess.

Also whoever recommended lathering him up in diaper cream before bedtime is a genius. I changed him right before our 11:00 session and just now had to change him again. That's so much easier than having to try and fumble around in the dark in the MOTN. Also pampers can hold sooo much more pee than Huggies IMO. DS pees out of the Huggies within 2hrs.

Agreed on pampers vs huggies! Also not changing diapers every feeding in MOTN has been a game changer this week for us too!
My 6 week appointment is at 7 weeks (almost 8 weeks ) because my doctor isn't available until then. But at least I'm able to do LO's pediatrician appointment on the same day in the same place so one less trip into the city for us. I just want to get laid already.

Mine too, but I am very fair-skinned. I got an above-the-belly-button line and a below-the-belly-button line and they totally don't match up, so that's cool. Good thing I'm now entitled to wear mom swimsuits, I guess?
