I was late posting this because DH did the 330 feeding. Yay! But for some reason he never gets the dictator back to sleep so here I am doing that anyway after the kid fussed enough to wake me up. Sigh.
Well I am officially inducted into the 3 am feeding club! Yay? No, yay ! I love being a momma. But DH has come down with a man cold so I get to be on my own for the night. Aaand even better I'm down to 3 Tuck's pads. It is so hard to tell how many there are left in that container!! At least I have witch hazel and cotton pads until my mom can run to the store. Stitches suck serious hairy balls!

cherryfive I'm finally in the club too but forgot to post at the 3:00 so here I am
Baby D had a rough night on our first night home. His poor tummy was all kinds of upset plus dealing with the after effect of his circ, the poor little guy was up all night. We were worried this was going to be the new normal for us. Well tonight he has slept in between every feeding! It has been glorious. Fx this is a sign that mommy may still be able to sleep at night, even I it is only in 2hr increments.
I'm still trying to get the hang of this site. Idk what I like better, the tapatalk app, or the actual site. I'm listening to Liam have hiccups in his sleep, and remembering him having hiccups all the time while he was an inside baby.
I can hear rain on my windows. Very relaxing. I think I'll go grab a cup of coffee then jump in the shower. Or I'll actually shower first. While I can. I'm gross.
I'm in the middle of the night feeding club too! Unfortunately, C and I are still a bit clumsy at breastfeeding and need both hands to get it done so I'm just now catching up.
We got released last night after a 24 hour stay and I'm glad to be home before a snowstorm hits our area. I'm sending out birth announcements while baby girl lays in my arms and just farts away!
I am officially an exclusive pumper. I'm a little upset and a little relieved about it. LO won't latch well even with a nipple guard. At least now I know he is eating enough. Sad note though I think I May need to join the baby blues club cherryfive I second that. I can't wait till They dissolve away!

I was just pumping and now we do formula also. EP is hard work but if your supply is good, you'll be fine! Make sure you have the correct size nipple shields for your pump and a good hands free bra. Remember at the end of the day, you are still giving your baby breast milk and LO is being fed! Also, every so often rub some of LO'S saliva on your nipple so your milk is able to change according to their needs.

Thanks! I'm doing well with it so far. My friend told me to try rubbing some nipple balm on the flanges before starting the pump and now it is so much more comfortable. We also did get a bra, and it is a god send. I'm pumping now and still able to post and play words with friends it's the little things that keep me sane right now.

I tried on my pre-pregnancy jeans this morning and they totally button and zip! I can't actually wear them because they give me muffin top, but I'm getting there

6 weeks pp and out of all I had my second worst poop yet this morning.
Last night was rough B was up 5 times between midnight and 8.
When I EPF DD I was told nothing so I pumped for 15 minutes and did nothing. I got mastitis twice that eventually took my supply and also think in part was my BC. Around the 6 week mark. I second what other pp said about having the correct size nipple shield. I think that played a huge part in my problem. And I've never heard to put their saliva on your nipples that's really cool! Makes sense now thinking about it.

DH and I had some sexy time (not "actual" sex, but you know...). It was awesome!! And he must have been appreciative because not only did he do one of the MOTN feeds, but also got up with DS and let me keep sleeping! Now we're all still in pjs watching Toy Story 3 (for the 20th time or so). Hooray lazy Sunday morning!
I forgot how much having "period poops" sucks. This TMI brought to you by my cramping need to poop this morning. Something I did not miss while pregnant
DH and DS1 are sick, so we skipped church. DH is still in bed, but the boys are being good. I'm hoping to go out with DS2 during DS1's nap and buy DS1 some new shoes (his feet have already grown a size since Christmas), craft stuff, and maybe something for me.
Oh and for an update on FMIL-- I'm pretty sure (like 99.5% sure) my grandmother told her to back the fuck off on Friday. She called FI to apologize for causing problems and said she'd back off finally when he went to talk to her that night. We'll see how long it lasts. I don't think it'll be more than a week, if that. I'm still pissed at everything she said so I don't think she'll be seeing me for a while after that and all visits with her grandson are limited to an hour, at max two. At a time since he gets easily overstimulated by her shoving the camera directly in his face. She made FI feel like shit so now she can sit in my dog house for a while
hollydfromtn I have never been happier to be woken up in the middle of the night. Who really needs more than 2 hours of sleep at s time? Our first night home G let us sleep two whole 3 hour stretches. It was amazing. lasawyer91 I am so sitz bathing today. I hope it helps!
DH had a mad sweat during the night so I hope he's on the mend. I've been having to be a forceful nurse with him but if it works...! Love being a mom to our whole family.
LaBellaVida your post makes me feel so relaxed. We're supposed to get rain today. Hope it pours. I'm a true NWener I love the rain Oh and GO HAWKS!!! I am sooooo excited!!!!

Good for your grandmother! And at least FMIL apologized ... even if it's short lived.
