@CHalePhoto‌ hahaha glad your H finally spoke up! Your MIL needs a wake up call!

@lnvane00‌ i'm sorry you are having a rough time, i know when i got smaller flanges it made pumping way more tolerable. Maybe check there?

@Jt7dreamz‌ Gross question but is the discharge thin and yellow (like watery) or thicker (like pus)? If it's watery it's normal drainage but if it's thicker it probably is a sign of infection. Glad you're seeing your doc today! Good luck!
It's infected. On antibiotics. He took a culture. Clean it twice daily w peroxide. Man that burns. Boo to me!

That sucks, but it's good that you went to the doctor. Healthy momma, happy baby!

@lnvane00 hugs! Switching to ff was really tough for me too. I didn't really consistently pump, but I felt super guilty for not giving J breastmilk when I knew I had the ability. Just remember, it seems like a huge thing now but when our kids start kindergarten no one will be able to tell who was formula fed and who wasn't. In the long run a happy mom makes a much bigger difference.

@chalephoto I want to high five your husband. Did you guys ever find out what was in her locked room/secret nursery?

I just need to vent to someone. Im sitting here pumping and I hate it more and more and more each time. I feel like I cant stop pumping because my son deserves what little breastmilk I can give him. But I just sit here and cry because I hate being hooked up to this thing! I get anxiety through out the day knowing I have to pump. My nipples feel like they are being ripped off and I just get angry and feel resentful being hooked to it. Im so uncomfortable the entire time because I can't lay back and relax and it causes so much tension and pain in my back.
I feel like im under so much pressure to keep at it im a hormonal emotional mess lately. I feel like I am constantly walking on eggshells all day and night. I think I might be getting depressed or have the baby blues or something. I don't know

I juat needed to get that out to someone who might understand

I was there just last week. My little guy was a month last Friday. He never latched (tongue tie) in the hospital and we started pumping and formula supplementing from day 1.

I felt horrible, like a failure bc he couldn't nurse. However, I was committed to giving him breast milk however I could--so I was pumping like crazy. Hated It. Cried every time. Nipples hurt so bad. Was stressed and i know baby was feeling it.

On Sunday I told my husband I was done as long as he was okay with it.

Best decision I made. For my sanity and for my bonding with the baby.
Many kids are raised on formula and turn out just fine. It wasn't my original plan, but my son will be one of those kids and it is okay with me finally

Her poop grunts also are hilarious and cute, who knew pooping could be so entertaining!?

Yes! Here is her poop face since i missed the thread before it died!

legallyginger · April 2014

There is a March 2015 board.

Wasn't it like yesterday that I was peeing on a stick?

ladyglittersparkles · April 2014

In bed DH is snoring the dog is laying on top of me and the boppy (she's 55lbs) and LO is on my chest and I'm pumping my right milker because it was way engorged.
Wtf
I see now why they say moms have no personal space.

amdecker1016 · April 2014

Has anyone done the bluum box?

Nursing makes me have to poop. DS is also a pooper when he eats. We are full of it I guess...

But for reals, am I the only one?

No, lol. I thought I was the only one!

Me too. .___. I just thought I was a weirdo lol

Does anyone else's LO sleep like this? She ALWAYS sticks her tongue out when she's sleeping, and when she's done eating. Cracks me up.

I finally got on a computer for the first time since the boys were born and updated my ticker. Now the bad grammar is killing me. Can't they adjust the subject/verb agreement for the age of twins?

Dammit. I just realized @qsflame was right in the other thread. I'm way too obsessed with grammar.

I totally nailed it

But then I read your ticker and started to develop a tic of my own.

mrsdahamm · April 2014

I just got walked in on while pumping. The other person is way more concerned about it than I am lmao

The room I pump in is attached to the pharmacy. There are two doors, one to the waiting area, and one to the pharmacy. The one to the waiting area locks, but the one to the pharmacy doesn't. I had to take a quick chance to pump because half my help leaves in 20 minutes. One of the girls (thankfully) didn't hear me and was trying to go through the room to get something from the floor. I tried to tell her to stop but she didn't hear me in time. I could hear her freaking out when she went back into the pharmacy (through the alternate door). Is it wrong that I genuinely don't care? I feel like I have no modesty at all ever since having a baby.

I pump at my dining room table company or not! H has a friend that totally freaked when he came over and found me at my milker, you would ave thought that I was naked eating dinner!

Do you know how hard it is to coordinate picture outfits for three kids when you're on a super limited budget? Flippin' hard. I wasted my whole day trying to nail it down.

AnonymousMotherOfOne · April 2014

75*F is uncomfortably hot for me, and I have a headache. I would sell my soul for a cold soda right now. I'd sell my left foot for ice water, but LO is constantly attached to the boob today, and I suck at walking and feeding. -_- Blah.

We did white shirts/onesies and blue jeans! All stuff we had.

ProudMommy030614 · April 2014

@karacakes98‌ we are doing all of us in beach attire, we live in Florida and already have all of that stuff! I am to frugal to buy new clothes just for family pics

Aturl · April 2014

Huge mommy win today! I went to walmart and did a huge grocery trip that lasted a couple of hours with all three kids!!! Wore LO and got DD to actually sit in the basket the whole time without crying!!! Yay!! I am beyond proud of my kiddos right now!!!

nblondheim · April 2014

I just sat on DH's lap and cried while he held and rocked me. We didn't get good news about FIL. As of now I can't say more than that.
I did tell him now I know why the twins like to be snuggled and rocked sooo much.

Thank you all very much! I'll update more sometime next week when we know more and get the go ahead that others can know. I'm very easy to trace and don't want to cause any drama.

mevensen · April 2014

MIL rant: I know my drama is minor compared to FBW or CHale, but I need to vent and DH just yelled at me for complaining. MIL just sent me a message asking to stop by tomorrow morning to see Emma and drop of more damn goodwill crap. I told her I wasn't going to be home because my mom and I are prepping for Emma's baptism on Sunday. She proceeded to get mad at me because she hasn't seen Emma in two weeks. Well gee that really isn't my fault and I wouldn't have so much shit to do if you would have offered to get off of your ass and help us with things, but instead she chooses to sit and get drunk every day. And she wonders why we don't stop out there very much.
Edit: words suck

Aturl · April 2014

@nblondheim‌ so sorry. T&Ps with you guys

nblondheim · April 2014

Okay this day can end...my little brothers gf is in the emergency room due to massive pains she's had the last 3 days but today nothing has relieved it. My moms on her way there. (she pretty much lives with my mom)

nlane0723 · April 2014

T&P's to your family @nblondheim‌.

ProudMommy030614 · April 2014
