321 posts just caught up on. Hugs to Aria. Laura, hope all is good with your mom gone. FBW hugs on going back to work. I know I am missing a bunch of ladies here.

Ok, guise, I need bump help. I just spent 30 minutes trying to update my ticker. I can create it, but every time I try to upload it as a hyperlink I just get that weird postage stamp like thing. Any help?

I searched for the old sticky that had the print screens, but there are so many "ticker" check ins I can't find it.

I was able to update my ticker, but when I try to insert a picture of LO, I get the stamp thing too

@AriaAmante143‌ so sorry you're going through this

I hope things get better for you soon

@Laura8388‌ hugs to you too! It sucks when such a good support has to go

@saisongbird‌ I totally know what you mean. Granted, I didn't have it as bad where I can't remember things... But it can't stop dwelling on how certain things panned out and I get weepy. The fact that I couldn't see my child for his first 16 hours kills me. I know he didn't know if wasn't there... But at the same time I wonder if he sensed a lack of something during that time

we can't change the past though so I guess we have to just remind ourselves to stop beating ourselves up over things we can't control

@bunnyfungo‌ My shifts range anywhere from 7.5 hours to 12 hours. I try to pump no more than 3 hours apart. I usually end up with a surplus at the end of the week. The babysitter and mh are both good about trying to hold him off if he should eat around the time I get home.

How is dd2 doing in daycare this week?

ladyglittersparkles · May 2014

Being a mom. You'll never be "good enough" when you compare yourself to the world's standards. Do your best to be in tune and available...you'll do fine at motherhood.

just for you mamas today!

xoxo

Sorry FBW. have you guys talked any more about your in-laws' offer?

legallyginger · May 2014

I've gotta AW this picture of Jack. It makes me wonder what he's thinking. Excuse my husband's feet and the weird eye on TV.

I would have freaked. I don't get how people think that's ok. That's not even ok when there's no new baby in the house.

Seriously! He is holding that upper body up like a pro.

9 weeks. He came out holding his head up. I'll be lost next time if I have a floppy newborn!

Fml... my husband invited my inlaws over for dinner without asking me first.... then they get here and my mil is planted right next to me watching me feed my son just waiting for the second im done. Then she asks me twice if im done with him. ...does it look like im done with him!?
She gets him and he is just crying and crying and she asks HIM if he's had enough to eat and I say yes he's had enough. And the whole time he is crying and she is just shoving his pacifier in his mouth and he doesn't want it and im about to flip!
And then starts my Fils baby talk...
I just cant tonight ugh!
my anxiety is so high right now my mouth is dry and I am biting my tongue SO hard. I want to grab my baby and hide

mrsdahamm · May 2014

I'm sorry @lnvane00‌ can you tell them he's tired and overstimulated and needs to go to sleep?

@FarmBoysWife‌ I hate that you're having such a hard time. I hope you guys can work something out soon.

Hugs @FarmBoysWife‌. Hang in there.

B started nodding off at 7:30. We usually put her to bed at 10:30, but maybe she's signaling that she needs to go to bed earlier? So now it's 8:30 and we've finished our nighttime routine, and she's passed out in my lap. This is either a great idea, or I'm in for another rough night.

This was us tonight too. Usually we start getting ready for bed around 9-9:30 but tonight she was overtired by 8:00ish. We gave her a bottle at 8:05 and she was asleep by 8:30. She only slept half an hr and has now been alternating between sleeping for a couple of mins and stirring in the pack n play. I hope I didn't make a mistake laying her down early. Messing with the "routine" is scary. Especially when YOUR sleep is involved.

Comcast can bite me. The channel with the game on has had the "this channel should be available shortly" message for at least 10 minutes.
Maybe you can watch it through the xfinity website or the channel's website using your Comcast login?

Yeah, just logged in. Right after my team got a goal, of course.

Just my luck - that's the only channel that's out right now.

I would flip out. Go Bruins!!!

CruiseGirl28 · May 2014

@FarmBoysWife‌ So sorry! I haven't gone back to work yet, but I am going to be the exact same way.

@Laura8388‌ *hugs* I cried when my mom left too.

*sigh* she was completely passed out, I put her in the PnP, went to the bathroom, came back and she was wide awake. Now she's screaming.

Damnit.

legallyginger · May 2014

That awkward moment when your husband is holding your baby in one arm and a pint glass in the other and your infant swings wildly and whacks his head on the pint glass. So much for that head control I was bragging about, kid.

At least no beer was spilled?

mrsdahamm · May 2014

I just want to take a bath. I NEVER take baths. Mostly because my bathtub grosses me out, but also the time factor. It's the biggest hassle in the world to get h to take LO right now because he's still not feeling well plus has heartburn really bad. And he keeps reminding me it's been an hour and a half since LO ate. I know. And he also went 3 hours a few times today so stfu. I just don't understand how he's so amazing with LO when they're alone but when I'm around he's completely helpless.

Sorry. Rant over. He really is a great dad, he just frustrates the piss out of me lol

rockopera · May 2014

Seriously. I rock the kid for an hour. Almost works three times, but fails. DH gets out of bed, does it for 4 minutes and he is out.

H has also gotten the only social smiles and chatter that started yesterday.

Not hard to tell who the kid likes better. I'm partially joking, and partially pretty sad about it.

mrsdahamm · May 2014

And then I get bitched at because as soon as h tells me the baby is nuzzling him I hurry and just wash my armpits and crutch, rinse, dry off, and put in deodorant. During which time he asks me THREE times what I'm doing and I get pissy with him. Fml seriously.

karacakes98 · May 2014

My kid will ONLY sleep by herself (as in, not on my or in my arms) if she's on her stomach. Seriously, WTH. If I could just leave her on her tummy, she'd probably STTN, but I don't dare let her if I'm not awake and keeping an eye on her.

kaking78 · May 2014

I have been peed on twice tonight while holding J in my lap. Huggies are not for us.

@woodshopgirl I was having trouble too with TB's tickers this week. I couldn't copy the code, but I was able to copy and paste the image. That was two days ago and the timeline is updating so I think it worked ok.

saisongbird · May 2014

I had a sad moment today. The hospital sent us a copy of Allison's birth certificate so we can add her to our insurance. The second page wad her footprints and one of my fingerprints. Well... I have absolutely NO memory of it bring done. None whatsoever. So I cried. Because I hurt having no memory regarding the beginning of her life.

How am I going to get past this? I'm not one for therapy (bad experience as a teen) and yes I am only 3 weeks pp but the sadness is overwhelming.

PerkyErky · May 2014

I had 2hrs child free unexpectedly this evening so I went to the mall to try and find some pants that fit and use my gift card to "save" money. Yeah, I ended up crying in the Macy's fitting room, did not buy any pants, and bought myself a Cinnabon to feel better.

Clearly I am a problem solver...

I've been refusing to buy new clothes because I think I will end up with similar results. But I also have no idea what I'm going to wear when I go back to work in 3 weeks. Somehow I don't think sweatpants will be considered appropriate.

CruiseGirl28 · May 2014

@saisongbird‌ I'm so sorry. I know there are a few other moms on here that have a similar situation (they cannot remember details from right after their baby was born). Maybe talking to them will help.

Ah! Just realized I have nothing to wear to work. At my old job, we could wear jeans. At my new job, which I got in November, it's business casual. I got some maternity work pants. I don't have any work pants. I have dresses/skirts that I can wear for a bit I guess.

rockopera · May 2014

@saisongbird‌ hugs. Give yourself some time. I was still crying at everything at 3 weeks. I felt more like myself at around a month, and I had no complications. It is okay that you are still sad, and the hormones are still raging.

If you're not feeling better after a couple more weeks, you may want to think about therapy. I'm sure it will be different than it was in the past. Esp if you find the right provider. Best part for me is that I can just keep talking about what is bothering me, long after I feel like I can continue to bring things up to H or friends. But hopefully you're on the downward slope for hormones and you'll feel less intense feelings about it soon.

pepperedmoth · May 2014

@saisongbird‌ I agree with @rockopera‌. If the feelings persist I think it might be a good time to give therapy another go. I've had a mixed bag of experiences myself and find that the quality is totally dependent on having a good therapist. Shop around a little for sure and find someone you can work with.

Failing that I also agree maybe PM one of the moms here with a similar experience. I know @SassyFlats‌ had a very similar story and also can't remember big chunks. I had a similar section with separation from LO but I do remember everything so that's different. Anyway you could certainly PM either of us!
