@ismellbooks sleep is so much better once home! I felt like I was up every hour in the hospital between LO, nurses, techs, etc.
When are you supposed to be discharged?
Today! By lunchtime, hopefully.
I'm a little perturbed with M's pediatrician. We saw one of them on Tuesday, and then her partner was supposed to round on him yesterday. She even called at 4:30 to say she'd been held up seeing patients in the office, but would be over soon... She never came. He's healthy. Things happen. But don't say you're going to come see us, and then don't. Not the best way to make a good impression.
Wow I wish my kid's cord stump would fall off soon . I still get nervous I'm accidently going to rip it off or something and I haven't even touched it.
A couple nights ago when we were changing her in the MOTN, she had peed all over when DH changed her diaper so it was on her swaddle pod and PJs. DH could not get the zipper to work and so he brought her to me and I'm not really sure what happened but when I got the zipper down she shrieked so loudly and I was terrified that I had like zipped off her belly button stump. I made DH check but she was fine. Still not sure exactly what happened.
Her belly button finally fell off two days ago at 11 days old, DD1 was at 7 days though so we've been waiting impatiently.
DD2 was up at 122, 320, 522 then 815 last night. It's such a tease because the first like 4 days at home she slept in 4 hour chunks but it keeps getting closer together.
I text DH to come change LO's diaper. I sleep on the couch by him in the RnP...scared to get in bed with this incision. ..he didn't wake up until I was done doing it myself. Stab stab.
Did you say something like, "no worries, you need your sleep...." *crazy smile*?
I just laid him down to sleep....and he poops. Again.
Ugh, that's the worst!
I just got up to change his diaper hoping it would wake him up to nurse on the other side. Got him all changed and swaddled and he pooped again. I swear I even saw him smile.
I just swaddled O and literally knocked on wood that she doesn't poop now.
O just had an epic spit up. My first though was "OMG look at all that breastmilk!"
I sit up an extra 5-10 minutes after feeding/changing DD2 just to help her not spit up. I do it for her and also for my sanity because seeing fresh breastmilk going to waste is painful.
Anyways, I'm up. She was up at 1230 too but it was a really quick feed.
I just laid him down to sleep....and he poops. Again.
Yes DS kept doing that last night! Took us 1.5 hours to go to sleep because it was an endless cycle of diaper change, eat, fall asleep...need a new diaper change.
I'm up and just had my first cry. DH was only supposed to be a "mid" bartender last night so he should've been home by like 10:00. He still wasn't home at 12:30 when I woke to feed DS, so I called him. He said he would be right now. Woke up again now at 2:00 and he still isn't home. The fucker got drunk cuz everyone was buying him shots as a congratulations. The jury would be on my side, don't you think? I told him to just stay at his parents and get his ass home first thing in the morning. He's going to pay for this tomorrow.
With DD1 DH asked me "what do you think about when you are feeding her in the MOTN?" And I remember literally saying "nothing" lol, I didn't have an iPhone then and wouldn't turn on the TV (she was a much lighter sleeper and lazier nurser) so I would sit like a zombie. I wouldn't even think about anything, it was creepy.
I just laid him down to sleep....and he poops. Again.
Honestly though, am I the only one who has already ignored a poop? Right after her 1230 feeding she was making all sorts of noises (her specialty is grunting, she almost never cries she just makes weird sounds) and I thought I heard a poop but wasn't 100% sure. She fell asleep and I was like "not happening" so I left it for this feeding.
I guess I'm lucky in that while DS' latch isn't great and takes a while to get him on, once he is on he nurses like a champ. Only 10, sometimes 15 minutes and he's done. He is very effceient. I even saw a lactation consultant yesterday and we did a before-and-after weighing. After his 10 minutes nursing session, he had gained 2.5 oz.

I haven't, I try to wait a minute to see if he has more, then change right away. But I'm freaked out about DS' circumcision getting infected. Plus I don't want to deal with a leak.
I am so happy M is a fast eater. DS1 used to take 30 minutes each side. Add in a diaper change and MOTN feeds were taking well over an hour. M will spend 20-25 minutes total and goes right back to sleep. It's amazing.
This is R's 4th time up tonight. He was going 3-5 hours at night but has been up every 1.5 or 2 max. I'm hoping this is a growth spurt and he gets back to longer stretches soon. I'm exhausted.

OMG yes, the jury would love you. He better have a good plan to make it up to you.
DH and I here both up at 530 to hear DD2 do the second loudest poop (the loudest literally just happened as I'm currently feeding her) and I pointed at him and said "that's you" lol. He has probably changed 10 diapers so far so I felt good about making him get it. He said there really wasn't even that much poop for how explosive it sounded.
jags8 I hope he pays and doesn't make a big fuss. He was in the wrong.

It's going to include changing every single diaper today.
