@amdecker1016 I take ativan and it helps a lot. I also used to take Effexor XR for depression and anxiety and I loved it (thats what I want to switch back to). I don't know if you are dealing with any depression, but the Ativan was just strictly for when I had anxiety attacks and it was great. 

Right now the depression seems to be at bay- but i used to take lexapro about a few months before the BFP.
I may see about that, and i know that effexor and ativan are good as well!

Oh holy shit. We just had an earthquake, and June was upstairs in her crib while I was downstairs. She's fine and it was a small one but I just freaked the fuck out and ran upstairs. I have horrible fear of earthquakes, so needless to say she's downstairs in her RnP now

@laura8388 I am in southern california by Disneyland, born and raised. They happen a lot down here so I am used to it. But my dad was in big Alaskan earthquake as a boy (9.5 for 4 minutes) and was very jumpy when it came to earthquakes when we were little. This has passed onto me and I HATE them. Oh and I am still jealous that you are from NZ. I have always wanted to go there! 

amholley1

I would agree with you about the natives too! I work at a hotel right next to Disneyland and we get SO many NZ natives that come to stay with us (Canada too  ) and I love talking with them! They are always so incredibly nice and so happy. If you ever plan to come to Disneyland just let me know, I can most likely get you a sweet NZ/CA native discount on a hotel room

Okay so we've had a total of 6 earthquakes in the last 1.5 hours all centered in my city. The biggest was 5.1 and there is broken stuff in my house. I don't think I'm gonna be able to sleep tonight. Luckily June is very content

@amholley1‌ hope you are all right!

I woke up at 6:30 freaking out because the last time we fed J was around midnight and I figured he was starving. I totally forgot he had woken up at 4am to eat.

@amholley1 - that's so scary!  I hope things settle down soon.  I could never live in an active earthquake zone.

Get some rest. It's ok to have meltdowns. (I know how you feel when you feel "by yourself" but your DH is there) everything will get better with time. Enjoy your next few days with your DH

@Laura8388‌ hugs men can be so dumb sometimes! I think a damn good long nap is in order for you today!

Colton's first time in CD little big but ok for daytime

(Idk why it's not facing the right way?)

@Laura8388‌ We could be sisters!!! The start of my crying fest last night was because DH slept 8 1/2 straight hours, showered, ate, etc while the babies cried and I took care of them. It must be nice to sleep and take care of your own needs! Then when they were crying later he continued to try to plug them with just a nuk when they were hungry. When I'm mad, I shutdown too and don't talk! We also don't fight! He talked to me before he left for work and told be me was worried about me...cue water works for the rest of the night and reality that PPD is there for me! *hugs*

You are strong as fuck!!
I couldn't deal with my husband being gone that long. Seriously you deserve more then a trophy...you are amazing for doing what you do!
Xoxo

@laura8388 you look fabulous. Hugs! I usuallu have to fight the urge to silently fume whenever I'm upset with H. It always works out better for us if I just let it all out, even if it means I melt down on him. Also, everything that @tallash said.

mrsdahamm

@Laura8388‌ *hugs* I too know how it is feeling like you're doing it alone even with H there. I hope it gets better and that you both enjoy your time together before he has to leave.

I got my placenta capsules!! I am so absolutely grateful that I at least got this one thing that I was so passionate about. Nothing else worked out in my birth experience like I prepared for (except of course my perfect boy) I am so glad with my unexpected csection they were able to save my placenta for me
i got 161 capsules!!!

So Jack is like 95% formula fed. I try to nurse him a couple of times a day before giving him a bottle. I'm not sure how much he's getting though because he will usually still take his normal four oz no matter how long he nurses. I got curious so I decided to pump and got an ounce. Now I'm entertaining thoughts of trying to up my supply again and start bfing more. I was all set to stop nursing this week and now I'm just lost again. Such a mindfuck, ugh.

Thank you all. How are you doing lnvane00??

I am doing good I think! Literally taking each day hour by hour. Little man sleeps so much during the day and only wakes a few times at night. He is such a good baby. One thing that has been so confusing and hard is feeding. I am pumping and giving him formula and I kind of feel like I have no clue what I am doing. But I am not on any kind of pumping schedule. I just do it every couple hours or when my boobs are sore. Just pretty much doing what I can and trying to recover from the section. It sucks having a huge sore scar on your belly. Mobility is very limited.

@Laura8388‌ @nblondheim‌ i guess that makes us triplets? =]

DH works nights comes home and sleeps from 8-5. Then gripes when he gets up because he's "tired" and doesn't really lend a hand helping her. Its so frustrating. I would LOVE 8/9 hours of sleep.
We got into a fight the other day because he got up and i handed her to him, and he said "your mom doesnt want to hold you" jokingly but i went off. Taking care of her all day and giving her to you so you can spend time with her- whatever.

Anyway, needless to say, he now takes her without saying a word!

I think all men are kind of under the impression that babies come out ready to play catch and watch hockey (or football, basketball, whatever) and cracking fart jokes. The whole newborn/infant stage always seems to take them by surprise.

I forgot how useless DH can be during this stage. I have to remember to tell him what to do (please change Audrey so I can feed Rhys) and not expect him to ask what he can do to help. It will never happen if I don't start him in the right direction!

Yikes I am all alone with all 3 of my kids for the first time... I hope the bigger ones don't start a mutiny...

@Laura8388‌ even post meltdown you look beautiful I hope that you feel a little bit better now. You're one of the strongest moms I know (know?) with the schedule you & Jodi have. I can't imagine having DH away for a solid month. It's bad enough he works 7 days a week about 12-16 hours a day. You are incredible and a wonderful mom to Ryker. Jodi seems like he is a good guy though and I imagine he would understand if you explained things. Hope the rest of your day goes better

I had a mini ugly cry in the middle of Walmart because my card got declined... Luckily my mother was with me and took care of $40 worth of baby purchases (pack of diapers, bottles, and a pair of swaddling blankets).

This is the second time something has gone wrong with my account, and I know this time it's not my fault!! ):<

Of course, when we got to the parking lot Mia had to be changed right now and was crying her little heart out, which broke my heart (while I was still kind of in tears because I was so embarrassed at the checkout and people kept staring at the crying woman with a baby...) so I changed her, and then found out that her little belly button looks like it's getting infected. HOLY DUCK. We just left the damn hospital yesterday!

Feeling like the world's worst mommy right now.

amholley1

@amdecker1016‌ @saisongbird‌ than you!! Were okay, it's just crazy because there have been over 100 aftershocks! I've felt about 30 of them, the most recent about an hour ago. This is definitely a first for me. Going out an getting an earthquake kit together today.

Just got out of the movie theatre, sitting in an overcrowded restaurant waiting to be seated. I'm trying not to have a panic attack from the mix of claustrophobia and anxiety from being away from J for so long. The anti-anxiety exercises the therapist gave me aren't doing crap.
