@nblondheim big hugs! I hope everything gets better soon.
@wisconsincheese12 try not to worry! I bled/leaked fluid from my incision for a couple of days. I was terrified of wound packing too but my OB just put me on preventative antibiotics and had me keep it clean and dry. It cleared up no problem. I hope everything turns out okay!
It's neighborhood yard sale day and I'm on my front sidewalk selling some some crap with my kiddos. We get tons of traffic through our 'hood on yard sale day. Baby needed to eat and hubby isn't home, so I fed her while sitting here on the sidewalk with a million cars driving by staring at our crap and, subsequently, me. Not quite sure if I feel accomplished or trashy right about now.

Inlaws making dh use the creepy stalker camera today. Of course it should be a time for them to talk like normal people (need I add that he had to call them and have them on speaker to communicate since the camera is one way sound. They could see him sitting there) anyways they bring up
*Money.
*His car (long story)
*Threw a fit cuz I wouldn't come out there.
*This insane camping thing that's in JULY! It's April, stop reminding us!
Now I'm feeding lo and dh went in a diff room to talk becasue I can't stand when he answered their insanely ridiculous and rude questions!
Grrrr.
(Oh I logged in to see what they could see since they kept saying they could see the wall!!)
Ok that's friggen creepy as hell! And a no go for me, that's just to far! I am so happy that my mil is to into herself to try and do something like this!
Did our first exercise speed walk today I feel great, Colton slept through it and H was panting the older boys complained the whole time! Gotta love family time!
Apparently I didn't *knock on wood* hard enough in the c section check in thread.
After the whole week of no incision bleeding.... I am bleeding.
Monday can't come soon enough, I'm giving in and calling the ob right away Monday morning.
As of now I'm not even going to tell dh because he's grumpy and he will be mad and say I can't take her alone, but also complain if he has to take us there. Lo is a month old today I think we will be just fine if I take carry her to the car myself, I can always carry the car seat out, then carry her out.
Ugh. I just want to be done bleeding from my incision, this stuff makes me nauseated and slightly paranoid of having to do that terrible wound packing thing or whatever (
FWIW, wound packing is weird, but it's not painful unless the wound is really deep. My husband is such a trooper for doing this for me. I guess it's only fair since I got them from birthing his son.
I am awaiting a call back from the pedi to see if they think I should bring A in or if it can wait till his 4 week appt on Thursday.
A was circ'd. All healed up nicely and we got an A-ok at his 2 week appt.
Yesterday I noticed something that didn't look right. His head looks good, but there is this new area between the head and the shaft that looks funny. Almost as if the skin got pulled back or maybe a blister.
It doesn't bother him and isn't showing signs of infection or anything, just looks a little funny.
Any thoughts from the M14 ladies as I sit and await the pedi call?
First family gathering with Mia today. >.< It's all DH's family, on his mom's side. They were kind if obnoxious before I had her, so I'm anxious and not really looking forward to this. They're all going to want to hold her, and if I tell them no, H is going to give me that dumb look that says he thinks I'm being a bitch. I'll be bumping periodically through the whole spiel, since they generally don't talk to me except to ask the usual "are you getting enough sleep?" / "is she STTN yet?" BS. Blah.
Someone distract me from how much I know I'm going to want to strangle his mom. She does that dumb baby talk that makes her sound like she was dropped on her head as as baby whenever she's around Mia, and it pusses me off every time. >:(
My big boys are having a sleepover tonight and H is going out for guys night. Yikes extra kids and it's just me I hope they don't try to take over I am way out numbered...
@CHalePhoto a completely understandable heart attack! That guy's lucky he walked away relatively unscathed. .___. I applaud you. Did you say anything to him after the fact?
I'm guessing I'm the easiest person to find online on this board because I'm an idiot..haha. Oh well...I really have nothing to hide
Me either... Don't need to hide Anything from you guys I don't think, unless one of you are really an insane crazy stalker. I would hate for the outside world to find this though just like sassy flats.... My in laws might be offended, but then again maybe they need a pinch of reality.
I feel like if one of us turned out to be a stalker they'd be the most patient stalker ever. 10 months. Persistent.

Yeah if that were my MIL there's no way in hell she'd be a primary caregiver to my kid. Who knows how she would talk about you behind your back to your child.
Was your H around when she said that?

This comment is actually pretty mild from her. She was also the one who told me in early pregnancy that I was just the vessel for her grandchild and my opinions didn't count (after I asked her not to touch my belly because it made me uncomfortable - I wasn't even showing).
I could go on and on. It gets worse with severe name calling and putting down her younger children in front of them.
MH wasn't in the room, but it wouldn't have mattered, she still would have said it. This is why we chose to ignore it. Her comments are not worth justifying with a response
@WoodShopGirl there are 1,001 variations of normal when it comes to a penis and if this doesn't look angry or infected I think you can relax for now! It's always good to call, though, and there is no substitute for someone eyeballing it. What did the pedi say?

Thanks so much! The pedi basically said the same thing: as long as it doesn't get angry red or have any pus it should be ok. They are going to look at our 4 week appt on Thursday but they didn't seem concerned and said it could definately wait until then.
That is unless it turns angry, then I am to take him in right away. But so far so good.
My MIL called to say she would bring us dinner and hubs accepted (it was of course so she could see the baby). Well, Marlena fell asleep just before she got here and I needed her to sleep because I fed and pumped today and knew I was dry, and if she woke up early, it'd just be a comfort nurse fest that my nipples just couldn't handle.
MIL gets here and sees the baby opening her eyes and says OH look who is up, all because grandma is here. I made it a point to say she had to keep sleeping because I have no milk for her right now.
Hubs and I had to go down to the nursery because MIL put up curtains, and as soon as we got down the first step, I could hear her talking to the baby (as if she was trying to get her to wake up to see her). As she was leaving, she mentioned how she got her mini baby fix and that her work friends threw her a grandma shower for things to keep only at her house.
Ugh, @CHalePhoto and @WoodShopGirl can we just round up the in laws and send them to in law island!?
Just in case you didn't know, if she did wake up and wanted to nurse she would of triggered another let down. But it definitely works to keep MIL away.

Can't comment on all, but wanted to say I was catching up on all you ladies.

::nervous FTM sits on her hands and waits::
I hope it is not a scar. MH and I were not strongly for/against circ and this has me questioning the decision to do it. Ugh.

She is hogging A.
And the third sentence out of her mouth as she is holding A directed to him "I know. I know. Mommy doesn't feed you enough."

I don't know what it is, but she always has to jab at me like this. I really do my best to ignore.
This is one of the major reasons she will not be a primary care giver despite her insisting she should be.
It is a cycle in MH family. His stepfather is verbally abusive to my MIL, she is in turn verbally abusive to her kids.
Edited to say that at least MH has recognized this and broken the pattern. He is super aware of not bein like his family and is the complete opposite.
Was your H around when she said that?

Sounds nice and all but a bit overboard. I

I feel like a bumpie failure!
And i just looked at your maiden and still have no idea.
Oops!
It was not easy!
I thought you found her.
And no, i remembered your photographer from your newborns and found you through there and all the adorable Ryker photos!
