Wine and Whine Wednesday anyone?

Anyone up for this?

Wine: Our anatomy scan today was good! Nothing abnormal and L got to come with me for a change.

Whine: I asked my OB if she wanted to test me early for GD. She said she could or I could just go on a GD diet now and test at 28 weeks. She said even if they test now they would have to retest me at 28 weeks. So, we are now on a GD diet starting tomorrow, which makes me sad. L told me and the OB she would go on it with me, which was sweet, but I'll believe it when I see it. She was not successful doing this with me the first time around when I had GD.

Second whine: c has a cold.

Second wine: she has been extra cuddly with me because of the cold when she isn't walking around deliriously. And she has told me she loves me at least 20 times. I never get sick of that.

Wine: I don't have to go to jury duty tomorrow.

Whine: That means I have to go to work. But it's almost Thursday which means the good part of the week is starting (M is home Thursday and Friday with O).

Wine: cetcar and kh826 had their babies!!

Whine: our night time wake ups are getting worse. And we are at my MIL's tonight (and were here last night) and the bed is too low for me to stand up out of while holding a sleeping baby cradle style (I still don't have core strength after pregnancy and csection). So I have to wake up M for all the transfers back to the pack n play. And it's a double bed so when I bring E into bed at 4 or 5 am, I have to get M out.

Wine: J and I are on a little getaway in the mountains just us and a cabin in the middle of nowhere. So fun!

Whine: Being on my period while on vacation sucks!

Wine: We are home. I feel really good. First day/night has not been bad so far, and William finally sat with Lucie for a quick photo, but he says he doesn't want to hold her yet. It's ok- we're not pushing it. William is in bed, Lu is napping in the Boppy Lounger, and J and I ordered a pizza! Ahhhh, life is good, even if for just a moment.

Whine: J lost my debit card today. She used it to pay for parking at the hospital today, and then when we got home she couldn't find it. I called and cancelled the card and they are expediting a replacement. It isn't the end of the world, just slightly annoying.

My milk isn't in yet. We are offering Lu the boob every 2-3 hours and she latches great and sucks for a while, but then gets frustrated b/c she isn't getting anything. I have met with 2 lactation consultants already. I know it's super early. We are using all the tricks to get my milk in, doing lots of skin to skin, offering the boob and letting her latch and suck as long as she will, and also I started pumping today in between to try to stimulate ... I pump and get nothing which is frustrating but I will keep with it. But, we have started formula. We actually are using a sensitive/non-spit up kind b/c Lu has been spitting up excessively. Pedi isn't concerned, but this formula seems to be helping after 2 feeds.

Wine- Madeline had her appointment with he pediatrician today and she's gaining weight. She was 7lbs 7oz at birth, 7lbs 7oz when we left, and her lowest was 6lbs 13oz. Today she was 7lbs 3oz! Making progress, hopefully it continues. We had a more human day today, actually left the house (we both showered!). Survived our first out of the house feeding today.

Whine- Sore nipples......

Kh826, my milk took 5 days to come in. By the fourth day, L was ready to get the show on the road. We too had been supplementing with Mo's pumped milk. It's hard to be patient but hopefully it'll come in soon and with full supply. Keep at it girl, you can do it.

Whine: My boys are sick and my wife is OOT till Friday.

Wine: My sister whose a nurse has come to my rescue and is staying with me.

Whine- Sore nipples......

I found the miracle of miracles for sore, torn up nipples. It's Dr. Jack Newmans all purpose nipple ointment. It contains 3 medicines in one and you need to get it at a compounding pharmacy. I used it for a few days and my nipples healed immediately. It's great and bf safe. Something to keep in mind if the usual coconut oil, lanolin stuff doesn't work.
