@skamber‌ I feel the same way. DH has been amazing, both with DD on her own and with helping me out. I loved him before obviously, but seeing him with our daughter is just a whole new level. I love how he loves her.

lest12 · June 2014

I would take the baby @ricecakes1216‌!

DH works at an upscale steakhouse. People bring infants there all the time. Not a winery, but its definitely a place people go to drink.

DS motorboated me when I was getting him in position to bf tonight.

Hahaha my DS does that too.

rainbowdashh · June 2014

@ricecakes1216‌ I took DD1 to a winery around 4 weeks old. I'm planning on doing the same with this baby. I'm doing a winery 1k "run" in August

tbmadeamistake · June 2014

@StrawberryDreams219‌ that's so exciting!? What part? My uncle lives in Brisbane so if its near there and you need a contact let me know and I'll hook you up

A winery run? This sounds awesome!
We live in wine country so we will have Lots of trips to wineries.. I just want to make sure I'm not crazy for taking him.

We are moving to Australia....holy shit!! :-SS

Congrats! I was going to ask you for a moving update today but didn't want to pry!

My mom was planning on staying with us for two weeks to help us with LO but now she might change her flight and go home early because she is bored. LO is such a good baby and DH and I are working so well as a team that she doesn't have anything to do. It makes me feel really proud of DH and I and super happy that Murphy is such a chill baby.

I feel like it is to good to be true. My pregnancy wasn't great because of my constant hives (I was allergic to LO) but the hives went away within hours of delivery. Maybe LO is a good baby outside of the womb because it sucked so bad when he was inside. Knock on wood that things stay this great!

CJnKR2014 · June 2014

@Taymiller‌ i hope thats true!! Thats awesome that you have such a chillaxed baby!!! Kellan is usually pretty chill but can get worked up sometimes, and Connor likes to "complain" lol but honestly as upset as i am about some things going on, my boys are pretty good babies.

Taymiller · June 2014

@CJnKR2014‌ - I can't imagine having two so my hat is off to you! My DH's name is Kellan and he is pretty chill so I think it must be the name

CJnKR2014 · June 2014

@Taymiller‌ yay another kellan!!! I love knowing people with that name, cuz it is pretty unique

theres a little soda shoppe in my town that has been open and family owned since the 20s, and the current owner's grandson's name is Kellan

It really is tough with twins, a lot tougher than i had expected. But really the little happy things make it worth it. Even with the baby blues and all the stress with finances and BFing/pumping and everything, i still find myself staring at my babies and just smiling like a moron.

And I will admit that I post way too friggin many pictures of my babies on Facebook. Like 5+ pics a day! bahaha....

I put a ton of pics on FB & Instagram. I don't care, don't be my friend if you don't want to see them! Both of our families live 10+ hours away and most of our friends too...so I'm gonna post a ton of pics without shame!!

I post tons of pictures too. I actually wrote a warning status letting people know I'm "that mom" and they should consider hiding me if they don't want to see pictures. I can't help it, my son is too dang cute!

cMichelle0423 · June 2014

So LO had his cord stump accidentally torn off... I honestly have no clue how, I'm assuming it was a combo of him wiggling around and it getting caught on his clothes.. he's 2 weeks old now and you'd think it would have fallen off on its own but it definitely came off too early. I freaked out and called my mom who didn't answer, of course. Thank god my SIL is a nurse and was able to calm me down! I'm pretty sure I worry more with DS2 than I ever did about anything with DS1. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around?!

Skin to skin is my favourite thing in the world right now.

I don't think you're crazy at all! A few of the wineries near me are having a 1k walk where you wine taste in between. I'm so excited!

kbellizio3 · June 2014

We're going home today!! Also, we're friends with winery owners so she'll probably be over at the winery within the next week or so. So no judgment here about babies in wineries!

I could definitely do a 1k or even a 5k if I knew there was wine waiting for me at the end.

Totally!

lest12 · June 2014

DH and I decided we were done with visitors. Luka is a week old, and this is the first day we haven't had at least 4 people "dropping by". I'm flat-out not answering my phone or texts other than my parents and sister. It's all prohibiting me from getting rest and recovering, I'm tired of hearing everyone's good-intentioned advice, no one is offering any actual help (they just want to steal baby-time from us while DH has to clean up after them) and it is getting in the way of family bonding time. I'm completely over it and putting things on lock-down around here.

elsa1688 · June 2014

@lest12‌ good for you! Do what's right for you and baby

elsa1688 · June 2014

I don't know where to ask this... I had a c/s 3 weeks ago. The discharging dr (not my normal dr) said "pelvic rest" for 6 weeks. I know this means no vaginal intercourse but what about everything else?

b48kate · June 2014

I am amazed at all you ladies who are DTD to jump start labor and or are looking forward to getting back on it after delivery. I am a full blown panda at this point.

lest12 · June 2014

@nelleebelle‌ - I'm sorry they are throwing this at you right now. Don't feel bad taking your friends up on their offer though, especially if you would return the favor!

elsa1688 · June 2014

@nelleebelle‌ hugs! Hope everything works out!

@StrawberryDreams219‌ scary! My LO's default position is a potato bug position (all curled up) and he puts his chin in his chest. It scares the crap out of me.

Had C's two week appointment. He's growing so fast. His birth weight was 10lbs 4 oz, then he lost weight and was 9lbs 14oz. Today he is 10l s 14oz. He also grew an inch and a half! He's in the 96th percentile. Such a big guy!

Close enough to kiss
Keep chin off chest
Supported back

Edit links hate me...

Very useful...I saw a really horrific looking carry at BRU today (where I was getting that earth mama nipple butter). Couldn't express what was wrong at the time, but now realize it was the chin-on-chest thing...

I just had my first post pregnancy beer, so good!

All the contractions I was having stopped. I was so sure last night was it. I'll go cry into my pop tarts now.

Boo! Get it together uterus! On the plus side... pop tarts! Mmm.

MrsBHM · June 2014

Do y'all have any sort of routine down with your LO's? I feel like I should be doing more with him that I am. He's 3.5 weeks old. Mostly I feel bad bc I feel like I keep him in too many "things" throughout the day. Like his swing, RnP, pack & play, etc. He's content in them & I usually put him in one so I can get something done for 10 min and then he falls asleep so I leave him.

I had a dream I had twins and I only fed one baby overnight and completely forgot to feed the other baby. I woke up in a panic.

Props to mommas with twins!

I woke up in the middle of the night thinking I had 2 babies and was forgetting one of them. Weird!

Taymiller · June 2014

We got a package today with the video of the service for my MIL from the funeral home. DH is happy we got it but it is also a huge reminder that she isn't here with us for such a wonderful time in our lives. He noticed something that made us think she is with us, on her death certificate it is has a time of death listed as 10:04pm, Murphy was born at 10:04am. I don't think that was a coincidence.

elsa1688 · June 2014

@Taymiller‌ hugs! It's so hard not having moms here to see this special time

I need to get out of the house today and I have zero motivation or energy. And I don't even know what to go do.

lest12 · June 2014

Hugs @taymiller. I think our loved ones find ways to be with us. I'm sure she is with your LO.

lest12 · June 2014

Did everyone's hospital have the same pink and blue striped little baby hats?? They're so cute on all the babies.

Lindsleigh77 · June 2014

Today is my due date and I want my baby out.... Had a membrane sweep yesterday and since have lost my plug and had some bloody show (yup TMI but IDGAF) currently bouncing on the ball and hoping it starts soon. Any words of encouragement? I never lost my plug etc until my water broke with DS.

Come on baby...

Ours did not. They gave us a hand knitted hat

This is exactly me. I've been having contractions but still nothing consistent enough to feel like this is it.

I hope it happens soon for you!
