****loss and living child discussed***** We're queer. I'm 34, have severe stage 4 endo, and both fallopian tubes are gone. My love ("Manada" 33) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tav.in and Ca.sey at 21 weeks gestation.
My friend is having an Epicure party tomorrow so I'm pretty excited. I love going for the food.. Hahaha But I'm also planning to buy one of those veggie spiral slicers. I've always wanted one!!
I slept in today and it felt glorious. C had to wake up just before 6 AM for work so I won't brag to her.
Also, I have $170 worth of Shoppers Optimum Points to spend so I am going on a free shopping trip today!
Yay!
Is it a "spend your points" event? We have a ton but have been waiting for one of those.
No but I have a coupon that lets me redeem 95,000 points for $200 instead of $170. Do you have the app? It's an exclusive offer but it could be exclusive to everybody.
We are starting to get into a routine, and it feels good.
My mom went shopping yesterday, and sent us a big box today. I am excited to get it.
We brought our 8 Lucie bins out of the basement. We have so much girl stuff! I had forgotten about so much of it!
We have been in a little bubble since we got home on Wednesday (which has been so nice), but the revolving door of visitors starts tomorrow. I am excited for people to meet Lu, but I am a little worried it will be overwhelming - especially for William.
I can't get enough lunch meat. Seriously. I am going to OD on turkey pretty soon...

Tomorrow M's mom is visiting in the AM. I need to work for a few hours then we are joining the YMCA! I'm excited but have feels about O in the childcare center.
We had a really nice day. We met up with 3 couples and their babies. The adults are all people we met in a baby loss support group who now have babies between 3 weeks and 8 months old. We got there a bit early so we could walk around and get Ellis a cat nap and then M was able to get her to nap towards the end of our time there. So most of the time we were there Ellis was a happy baby who had fun with the host baby's toys. There was delicious Thai food, carrot cake, and wine. And it was really nice to catch up with the adults and compare parenting stories.

Weekend has been crazy. Friday night we made dinner at home and C let me take a shower and rest while he made dinner. It was SO nice.
Saturday we went to breakfast and then watched our Friday night movie since neither of us could stay awake to watch it Friday. Then C had to work and I did laundry and looked up nutritionists. Then we went to dinner with some friends.
Today we will go to church, then probably breakfast and then we are watching a friend's baby all day. We will still be grocery shopping and doing Sunday stuff. It should be a productive day!!!

My boobs are currently resting on top of my belly - time to go bra shopping.
Just wait until you start breastfeeding!
My boobs currently need their own zip code. I need to order some new nursing bras asap. The ones I have from last time are too small and don't have enough support. It is a mess.

I was looking through photos on M's phone and saw one of Ellis sleeping on my lap. Then I looked again and I was breastfeeding her but my boob was hanging so low that she was just lying on my lap.

Yep. I believe it. The struggle is real, friends. My DD bras are all too small. It is a sad state of affairs.

I keep thinking my nursing tank tops are already too small but think a large may be too big. In any case, I feel like I spend half the day with my boobs hanging out feeding Little M. It's 2:30 and all I've done today is feed Little M (a lot), make breakfast (which I ate during a feeding), and put a load of laundry in the washer. I've been trying to go to the post office for days.

Big hugs, kh826! I remember the postpartum shit show. For me days 3-8 were the hardest and things were noticeable better (but not all better) by day 14. It was rough going there for a while! Please feel free to message me on fb if you want to chat. Xoxo

Thanks healz413 & cetcar - you guys are awesome! I am feeling better for the moment. Something dumb set me off last night and I started crying about BFing, William adjusting to being a big brother, my anxiety/fear about having sick kids (neither of them are - this one was fueled by the week we spent at children's hospital with William from week 4-5 of his life, and my fear that Lu will have to go to the hospital for no actual reason - I was just on a roll). Then I got mad because J was on her phone and not trying to comfort me. It was actually kind of sitcom comical looking back. She said she wasn't sure what was going on but thought I just needed a minute to let it out. That's fair. It's also fairly atypical behavior for me. Anyway, I got it out, and now I feel better. I am sure I will have another moment at some point, but that was definitely my peak postpartum messiness to date! Ugh!
