Re: Monday B-fest
@AriaAmante143 Don't feel guilty either way! Do what you are comfortable with. I would be super pissed if people told me when I should start leaving LO overnight. I'm guessing these people don't have children?
People keep telling me to potty train my oldest, but how am I supposed to effectively potty train when I spend more then half my day stuck on a couch with a babe on my boob! If my toddler says he has to go he probably won't wait until E is done eating!
But reading everyone's plans for working out and getting back to pre-pregnancy goals is making me feel sorry for myself. I feel like the majority of posters are nearing their 6 week checkup and are functioning as regular humans again. ...whereas yesterday I tried going without any pain medication and wound up bedridden at 6:30 pm.
Basically I'm just jealous others are having an easier recovery than me.
Does she seriously think she gets to say no to what we decide whenever she chooses???
Also, why do we have to pay for the birth certificate? Shouldn't we get 1 for free with the ridiculous cost of childbirth?
Most of my friends live far away. The ones I consider my closest friends are about an hour and a half to two hours away. They live closer to eachother, so naturally they do things together. I'm not saying I need to be invited to everything they do....but I swear they just forget about me since I'm far away....and it makes me sad.
No real point to this except to bitch about it. DH doesn't get it, so he's no help.
Also I attempted so many times to get DD to sleep on her own last night so I could rest and she only went once for three hours. This morning she woke every hour! Arg!
Oh a third one. DH keeps counting down until we can have sex. He's been pressuring me for weeks. I'm just not ready yet, but he thinks this weekend is go time.
Need I say more?! Happy Spring!!!

Now DH has epilepsy and is triggered by lack of sleep.
Yesterday I went upstairs to have a quick shower and left him with the kids. I knew he was tired, but asked him how he was doing and he said 'fine'. When I went up he was cuddling Rhys on the couch. When I came back, he was kind of glaze-y and acting weird, and was sitting ON RHYS' FEET on the couch. DS1 says 'daddy was making funny noises and shaking a lot on the couch. Well, fuck.
So now I don't feel like I can trust DH to tell me when he's feeling like a seizure is coming on (he has early symptoms so knows way ahead if one) and I'm pissed off that he put the kids in jeopardy like that! I'm not sure if he was still holding Rhys when it happened, but he could have dropped the baby, ended up on top of him, smothered him in the couch or a bunch of other awful things! And he knows he needs to get sleep but isn't making the effort to get to bed at a smart time!!
Mostly I'm mad at myself. I should have noticed the signs and made sure Rhys was somewhere else when I went upstairs. Epic mom fail
*sorry for the novel*

Me: 28 DH: 27
She's 5 weeks today. She's been discontent like this since she was 3 weeks. Most times holding her doesn't even make it better. Thoughts?
Eta: it's also the worst in the evening. She cries and fusses throughout the day but starting around 8pm until she finally falls asleep for the night, it's almost constant.

1) I'm discharged. Allison is not, we are waiting on one last test that should have been back an hour ago. I want to dress her and take pics because I refuse to take them while she is hooked up to five million wires.
2) I had a breast reduction 10 years ago, and thankfully, my milk is coming in. However, I haven't been able to feed on demand because she is in the nicu and my recovery was so fucked up. The LC is concerned because she's lost 8% of her initial weight in 5 days and while she latches well most of the time, she gets lazy and has to be nudged along, even though she will do anywhere from 14 to 35 minutes per boob. Lady - let me freaking feed on demand for a week!!! I will gladly sit there and feed her as much as he wants but please face me a chance before we have to supplement!!!
3) people in the hospital need fucking sensitivity training. Stop telling me that I'll be with her soon. I have been separated from my baby and I want her now. You bet your ass I have been crying - stop taking my baby away from me!!! I know it looks like I am a serious candidate for PPD, but why don't you give me a week where you DON'T take my sweet baby girl away from me and we will reevaluate then!!
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.
I'm so tired of breast feeding, bottle feeding, and pumping. If my supply doesn't increase so that I'm able to EBF I think I'm gonna have to FF. So far I'm taking fenugreek, drinking mothers milk tea, and eating lots and lots of oatmeal and I'm still having to give LO around 2 oz of formula at each feeding (we still wake LO every 3 hours at 4 weeks old because he had blood sugar problems and was only 5#6 oz at birth). I really want this to work but I just don't see it happening.
Me: Endo, PCOS, septated uterus (mostly removed)
DH: perfect
Started TTC in June 2011
Baby boy born 3/17/2014
I feel the same way. I took LO for a walk today and since I am just shy of 3 weeks PP, I walked super slow and didn't go far. It was exhausting.
I hope it gets better for you!!
A patience nap I like that term
This is the way I am too. The only way I manage to get a reasonable amount of sleep is to sleep until noon-1:00pm every day. I'm a super light sleeper, and I'm also getting pissy about the people whining about 4 hour stretches not being long enough. We've had a handful of stretches that long, we even got 5 hrs. For ONE night the first week at home. The majority of the time it's 1-2 or 2-3 hrs. And I'm 5 wks in right now! I still have 9 weeks before I go back to work, and I pray that it will even out and she will start sleeping through the night by then! My bitch is about insurance. MH's company was purchased on 3/1 and Aubrey was born on 3/9. Since then we have gotten "explanation of benefits" letters from the ins. Co. Stating every claim for when I was in the hosp. For the baby and I was denied, and we've gotten bills from the hospital and the pedi's ofc for well baby visits. The insurance co is saying it was b/c they didn't receive some letter back from me asking if I had any other insurance. Hello geniuses, if I was on his plan before, why wouldn't I have signed up for this plan or have another? So despite the fact that mh called the ins. Co last Friday to confirm they had my response to that stupid letter, they required an additional call tonight to tell their dumbasses to actually reprocess all the denied claims. I seriously loathe health insurance. Dumb fucks.
ETA I don't call very many nights good.
This has been going on for over a week. LO woke up a 3:30 to eat. After 3 hours of nursing, burping, changing, rocking, walking rounds around the house with a screaming baby, , I had a breakdown and woke up DH to help me. He's now giving her a bottle in the other room, and I can hear him muttering about how tired he's going to be at work today. I quit. I seriously quit.
