Same. It's already going by tooo fast!

My hospital meals sucked. I ate what I thought was a pork chop and then looked at the menu card and turns out it was chicken....

Emily041285

We had our first epic throw up moment. DD apparently will just eat and not stop if she is full so all her "extra" ended up all over the recliner we nurse in. I have a little oinker I guess!

pineconey

Well. My milk came in. Dramatically.
Seriously, a WATERFALL down my right side while nursing on the left. The ONE TIME I removed my breast pad first....

deidremaria

I think I slept for about 3 hours. I THINK

My favorite hospital foods: chicken quesadillas, red grapes, muffins. The bummer is they don't serve food from 9pm-6am. LAME for nursing mothers!!!!

Good news: Asher got transferred to peds so we all get to stay in one room tonight! (I was allowed to be transferred too)

My hospital had the best food, the omelettes...yummmm. And for the birthing center, there was a limited menu you could order off of until 11pm. I had a couple 2nd dinners

Yay for Asher!!!

pineconey

Cluster feeding already?! Oh my. Picked the wrong night to start rooming in! Lol. Poor DH -he was so frustrated that Asher kept acting hungry. He BF for over an hour, then I passed him to DH to put to bed. Wouldn't stop fussing, drank the 30ML I pumped earlier, fussed for an hour while I dozed. DH passed him back to me, nursed twice on both sides for an hour total while DH slept, then I needed a break from feeding so I attempted to wake up DH by saying his name. Loudly. Took 10 min. I can't get out of bed with the baby in my arms yet, so I was stuck. It was pathetically comical. Asked the nurse for formula to supplement. He's slamming that now. Dear heavens... Hope he sleeps now after eating for 3 hours straight. I need to sleep.

Hooray!!! I'm finally caught up in RTT after my 1 am and 5 am feeding sessions. So happy to hear how everyone is doing! @kseccomb17‌ I hope things keep getting better for you now that DH is home. @pineconey I'm glad to hear you and LO are kicking ass and taking names as you recover. @deidremaria‌ stop being so damn gorgeous on your porch. Also, I'm jealous you have a porch. @Ashleypixie‌ I'm down 25 pounds, have 10 to go until my pre pregnancy weight and there's no way anything fits me normally. But hey, I have a gorgeous baby instead and like @KendraColeslaw‌ said, that's what matters the most!

Way too many postings to catch up on all of them individually. Looking forward to getting back into bumping. MIL left Saturday and my folks arrived Sunday and will be here through next Wednesday when Merri is two weeks.
Holy shit. Two weeks?!?

She's being a rockstar. Poops like a freaking champion. I lover her pre-poop smiley ritual she performs while breast feeding. Cracks me up every time.

Oooh I'm gonna have my hands full with this one. 2 weeks old and he just frog leg/army crawled up my chest for the third time today to bury his face in my neck. Between that and the crazy neck strength he's had since day one I foresee this kid crawling WAY ahead of the norm. He's gonna keep us on our toes for sure.

You may have to watch out for climbing. DS is 2 yrs and has been climbingg like a monkey all over the furniture since he could stand. Just about gives me a heart attack all the time.

rockstarlaw

Good morning all! I'm still pregnant, still working, and barely keeping up with RTT but I'm sending high fives out to all you successful mamas! Look at you guys, getting it DONE! Kudos!

deidremaria

@aviola329‌ my bf and I were just talking about the same thing with Dylan. He does this a lot. Especially on my bf's chest which is much larger than mine so that's more climbing space.

thomas930

The post office lost the cloth diapers I ordered.....I'm not real thrilled with them. I ordered a few more newborn right after Logan was born since they were the only thing that fit and if they don't show up soon they wont fit him anymore. The post office received the box so it is here in town but they have no idea what happened to it once it was scanned in.  ( X(

I am naturally a mush-ball. I am so scared of having even MORE feelings! And lately, I can't hold any tears in, happy, sad, excited, hungry...

Lorelei has been doing this from early on too and she also flings herself around with her giant head. I feel like I have to constantly keep both hands on her cause she's always trying to get away from me!

Has anyone heard from @serlena? 

Teresa1896

I'm going to run away and join the circus. Baby was up just enough last night to keep me from getting any solid stretches of sleep. And now DD is being a whiny turd, pretending to be helpless to get my attention. Come on, kidlets. Get it together. At least take turns being turds!

SoulTermination

I think I'll leave this here in lieu of making a birth story post, or at least just yet.

Yes!!! I was just coming on to post an LB / RTT post! Her water broke last night, she's laboring at home as of 3am and I'm waiting on further updates of her arrival at the birth center :-)

Awesome!!!! Go @Serenla‌ ! I'll blame the misspelled named on lack of sleep

Emily041285

Go @Serenla‌! I was just thinking about you last night!

@ColleenSwerb‌ every time you don't post for a bit I think you're in labor.

@AprilMay9‌ how are you?

Any other RTTers I'm missing?

I hang around RTT and am also pregnant--40 weeks today. @AprilMay9‌ --- I think we may duke it out for last April baby...

I've said for some time I suspect I might be last to give birth. Haha! Little guy seems really comfortable in there. I'm actually hoping for Friday (May 2) since it's my dad's birthday! Good luck ladies who still have inside babies!

Dear Massachusetts,
Pave your fucking pot holes.
Sincerely,
In labor.

cgoldian

Congrats @honeyzoo! Good luck @serenla!

My goal for today was to leave the house with LO by myself for the first time but since it is cold and pouring rain I have changed it to taking 2 naps before DH comes home. That would be amazing.

fourthnlast

Good morning! Congrats to new mamas, good luck to all in labor today!!!

I've been a dirty lurker lately if I've had a chance to bump at all. Life decided to get super crazy for about a week but things are hopefully calming down and I am home with my sweet baby Emma Rose so I will have time to post a birth story soon. Congrats to everyone with outside babies and good luck to everyone with inside babies!

I think this the 3rd A14 Emma! The day my Emma was born, there was also an Emma Rose born later that day.

Woop woop, my OS diaper stash arrived today!  So excited, prepping them right now!

I pumped, fed E and changed him in great time. I was planning to get out of here for awhile and then I got a stupid stomach ache so I started watching old episodes of 8 Simple Rules and it's the episode they made after John Ritter died. Ugly crying now.

Saddest episode of all time. Total ugly cry.

Why has everyone I know decided you don't get food for a second baby? I'm seriously missing all the food people brought by after DS1. I'm not asking for the presents and diapers and all the rest of the stuff people brought back then - but damnit, I want some lasagna and casseroles!

I should have made DH grocery shop before he went back to work.

Dafuq?! That sucks we had meals brought in the first week and a half from church.

Tferr02

I went to the grocery store with 2 year old DS1 and LO! I am feeling so accomplished! I can nap the rest of the day now right?

I feel like this LO generally got the shaft compared to #1. Hardly any visitors, no meals brought, and some of my friends haven't even told me "congratulations!" It makes me sad, but LO doesn't care.

allyandmike24

Willa is 8 lbs 14 oz. at her month checkup. She was 6 lbs. 1 oz. when she was discharged from the NICU 3 weeks ago. Someone has been hitting the boob juice pretty hard. She also pooped all over the nurse when she was taking her temp up the bum and peed on the table as soon as she was cleaned up. Classy broad. 

Emily041285

No one has brought us food at all and we've only had like two visitors. My parents are here and I had to make dinner last night! I'm jealous of people bringing food for a first baby!

pineconey

"You need to be up walking around."
"You need to be sleeping more."
"You need to be pumping after every time you feed."
"Feed him every 3 hours. But don't wake him up to feed. But feed every 3 hours. But do what you think is best."
ETA: "We are concerned about your weight, blood pressure, and every decision you've ever made about your health."

All day. Every day. What the hell do they think I'm doing all day?!?
I love 90% of my nurses here. The other 10% can suck an egg.

In all fairness, we haven't had a lot of visitors yet because we got sick, but family has brought nothing so far! Hmm...how wrong is it to tell friends they can come over now just with the hope they bring dinner? : P

No one even offered to bring us anything. We ate a lot of pizza the first 2 weeks
