I've never been happier for Sunday to get here. After 3 very long weeks my husband goes back to work, He has been driving me nuts. I really don't know why he too 3 weeks off, other then to play video games and drive me fricken nuts.

Yup my right is the bigger producer.

mrsdahamm

With James it was my left, with ethan its my right. 

I guess its ok because James made my left bigger than my right anyway and I was going to work on getting them back to about the same size

Well good to know it could switch. But darn it this is my last baby it would be nice if they would of switched so they end up the same size.

I do believe in roll call she said her water broke? I have heard nothing since.

I pumped after a feeding for the first time today. I got four ounces and felt rather accomplished, and now that I have one bottle's worth of milk in the freezer, I will return to my regularly scheduled routine of not pumping. Until LO is big enough to need more than four ounces in one feeding...then I'll pump one more time. Haha

mrsdahamm

@amdecker1016‌ yep last I heard was in roll call

I just swiffered and mopped my living room, dining room, hallway, and kitchen. I never thought my life would come to this. lol

@kirotea‌ how did you know it was thrush?? We're having a hard time with BFing too. My nipples are cracked and bleeding, I get these weird shooting pains. I'm pretty sure I may have a plugged duct too. I called the LC today and left a message. I dread feeding her. Aside from this morning, when I cried from the pain, I've just pumped every few hrs. After her 9am feed I just couldn't bring myself to try again. Cue mommy guilt.

Look in baby's mouth, if there is a thick white film on baby's tongue that doesn't easily wipe off it's probably thrush.

@WisconsinCheese12‌ I've totally leaked like that many times!!! I'm a distracted pumper!

My wrist has been bothering me since probably 2-3 weeks PP (I'm 7w tomorrow). I just picked up LO and was moving him higher toward my shoulder and my wrist popped. So now it hurts worse ( I should probably have it looked at, but with a 7 week old I couldn't really manage a brace or anything invasive they would possibly want to do if something is really wrong... So I'll just complain about if instead.

Ice, ibuprofen, and wear a brace at night.

I had horrid carpal tunnel with my second, and there's no way I could wear a brace at work (nurse). But it helped immensely to have it stabilized at night. Even if you have to take it off for feeds, put it back on while you sleep.

Throwback quote lol but thank you @TallAsh I finally got a support brace yesterday and it already has made a huge difference just wearing it last night

Eta - I asked my dr about it at my appointment and he said it doesn't seem like carpel tunnel because it's not really radiating up my fingers. I'm supposed to take ibuprofen regularly but I always forget until it hurts really bad (duh)

@Laura8388‌ Plane? ::peeking out from the rock she lives under::

Malaysian airlines flight that went missing two weeks ago; 239 people on board and it just went missing off radar. There was hope that it had landed somewhere .. Or something .. There was no answers, so people had hope the passengers were ok. They just announced they believe it went down in the Indian Ocean - therefore no survivors.
It's only been the main event on the news haha you mustn't get TV under that rock

DH has been hogging the tv and we're barely moved in so I haven't had time to watch the news. .____. That makes me sad. But at the same time I kinda hold out hope that something miraculously happened like on LOST, and at least a couple people are okay still... Wishful thinking...

They haven't found the actual plane yet though, according to CNN.  Just that it seems likely.  The report said that the pallets that were found could also have been used in the shipping industry.

Says the uncultured girl who moves on from serious world news:

Why does sex have to hurt so bad?! I didn't even shoot this baby out my vag! And yes we used lube :-S

AnonymousMotherOfOne

@mrsdahamm‌ at least you're trying it. I can't let MH anywhere near me and have been sadly stuck with (tmi, I'm sorry) my hands and mouth. My doctor finally took a look and said it's probably because of some inflammation he saw up there. .____. Now I'm scared to even try sex for induction purposes, because the last time we tried (with lots of extra lube/stimulation) it hurt like a bitch. ;___;

@WisconsinCheese12‌ the 6 oz came from 3 pumping sessions. I actually need to supplement Noah as I'm not keeping up with him.

Darn. Yah that's what we are doing too, supplementing with some gas ease type of the liquid formula stuff. Idk how some ladies are freezing so much, one girl on fb has a 3 week old and last week posted that she froze her 50th bm bag! Gah I am nowhere near that ;(

Holy cow. I'm lucky if I can pump enough to cover a day's worth. :-/

LC didn't even call me back and my nips HURT!!! And lefty is bleeding and cracked the pedi can't see us until Friday to see if she can fix his tongue tied or not. Gonna be a long week!

AnonymousMotherOfOne

....MIL called to ask DH if I was in labor because "she had a feeling".

Woman, he would have called you already if I were. He promised, and MH is the last person on earth to break a promise like that.

And stop effing complaining about being old. It happens. Get over it.

@kirotea‌ I hope you and your boobies get some relief and feel better soon!

Today, after I came out of the grocery store and was loading up my car, a man with a clipboard stopped me. He was getting together a petition for someone who was running for Senate. He went on his rant about how great the guy was who was running, etc. I was doing a good job listening and he almost had my signature until he mentions that this guy is pro-life. I informed him that I could never sign it because I am pro-choice. He could see that I had children with me. He looked surprised and then asked me, "well, you would never get rid of any of your children, would you?". I gave him a dead stare and replied, "actually, I have." *crickets*

What courage!!  I hate when people make assumptions about our lives... I hope he felt like an ass

mrsdahamm

If like to ffmc. I used baby powder tonight... On my baby.

He keeps trapping moisture in his armpits and groin and growing baby cheese so I'm hoping this helps.

mrsdahamm

FIL leaves tomorrow. If I don't kill him first. Long story, but I don't like him using our bathroom anyway, so keep that in mind. Our bathroom connects to our bedroom and I had JUST said 5 minutes prior that I was going to try to get the baby to sleep and put him in his bassinet in our room. I almost had him asleep and FIL knocked on the bathroom door then went in and used it while talking in his normal loud voice on his phone. LO didn't wake all the way up, but it was definitely a setback. Now he's on his phone again in the livingroom talking loud as hell and we keep having to remind him to be quiet.

Omg my inlaws are the same. Alexis was a very light sleeper. If my knee cracked when walking away from her she would wake up. They know this and would use our bathroom. Here's where it gets worse, they had to walk by the main bathroom to use mine.

Milks in! I confirmed by squirting Colton up the nose!

@mrsdahamm‌ I've totally used baby powder on the twins too!

WisconsinCheese12 said:

Afraid to google baby cheese.

Lmao I probably wouldn't recommend it. I just mean the white stuff he gets in his creases. I'm not 100% sure if it's yeast or just dead skin.

Officially grumpy.  I had a prenatal massage scheduled for tomorrow... then we looked at our bank account and after buying so much stuff lately for the baby... we decided it was wise to cancel the appointment.

Lo has her second appt today to follow up from last week... Probably because she's bf and she was in the nicu, I hope the pediatrician is ready for 1934 questions from dh! Lol.

Right before her appt we have to stop at my doctors office for labs since I failed the blood pressure check last week I'm nervous because I'm not exactly sure what it means if I fail again....should have asked!

Good luck with the appointments today

ProudMommy030614

My main goal today is take a shower! And if i am really adventurous I may try out my pump. My girls are porn star size!
