In preparation for my pp gluclose tolerance test I just went to the store and bought goodies to make oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies, cool ranch doritos, and the hot tamale candy.
I need an intervention.
@windwithfingers. Sorry for that huge blow. I can't imagine how hard all these aftershocks have to be in addition to losing your DH and the birth of your lo.
@MRSclarke08 I have done that with the slippers before years ago without being a new mom #-o
@PurpleHippo19. Lo loves his hands in his face! Exhibit A
How do you guys manage to eat? I cannot keep this kid happy today, so I've barely had a chance to do anything but feed him and change diapers. He screams if I put him down and he screamed when I put him in the carrier, even though he loved it when we went grocery shopping yesterday.

Try putting him in the carrier and taking a short walk around outside or in your house to help him calm, settle, and relax before making food. Also, think foods you can eat with one hand.

I promise to try and catch up on all the randoms. I attempt it every day but never quite make it past page two.
I took the twins to the pedi by myself today! I felt like super mom. N went from birth weight of 6lb 2oz to 7lbs, and K went from 5lbs 9oz to 6lbs 14oz!
I also had an OB appointment today and my OB said I was a bad ass. He was surprised to see me looking so good and moving around. That made me feel pretty fantastic.
I miss you ladies and I love to see all the pictures of the cute babies.
Thank you, lady's. I really do appreciate all the hugs.
DS has heat rash on his face, probably from sleeping and sweating on my chest the past few nights. Poor guy. It doesn't seem to bother him but I feel really bad.

@AppleGrapeMSTK so sorry you are struggling with DD. I teach in an inclusion classroom. When you meet with her teacher ask if she is in an intervention process for her learning needs. We call it RTI (response to intervention) here in GA, but they may call it something else where you are. If the teacher has not started her in this process (basically a way to individualize her learning in order to see growth) then they need to start. Also, you can request a direct parent referral for her to be evaluated to see if she has learning difficulties. You are NOT a failure. Some children learn differently and you can be that advocate to help her get what she needs.
We spent all day Sunday at my parents' place. My mom called me this afternoon and informed me that my dad now has a nasty cold. She said he feels really and and hopes that our dd won't get it. Me too. Here's hoping my poor 1 month old baby won't get a stupid cold.
I'm getting these sharp pains in my nipple/boob every so often. Sharp stabbing shooting pains. Is this normal pains for any lactating mother? Or is this something I need to look into like thrush or something else? DD isn't showing any signs of thrush but of course I used the google and now I'm thinking I have some sort of ailment. Hoping it's just normal lactation pains. Anyone? :-S
I'll just go ahead and quote myself since I didn't get a response.

I must have missed this, mobile sucks sometimes. I get those pains sometimes, I don't have thrush. I assumed it was normal, when do they happen for you?
I agree mobile sucks! No specific time. Just randomly.

This happens to me too and it is completely different from letdown, which for me feels like a tightening. I thought I had thrush too and freaked out but the LC I spoke to said it's normal.

How do so many people feed their baby while he/she is swaddled?! I'm reading this on the bedtime routine thread and that's crazy to me. DD can barely stand being swaddled so I couldn't imagine feeding her while she's awake and having her swaddled. I think she'd go nuts!
I was wondering about that too. DS doesn't mind being swaddled most of the time, but won't eat that way.
We left the baby with MIL and went to the Outback and Sam's Club. I made full eye contact with the nurse that told me I was starving my baby and told my doctor I was unfit to parent. I'm sure she thinks I left my baby in a garbage can somewhere since we didn't have her with us. Fuck that bitch. She looked scared now that I was up and out of fucking bed.
Fucking run, bitch. I can't catch you yet, but if I do, there's nothing wrong with my arms. In other words, I will cut you. Until you bleed. To death.
I also never thought I'd leave my 3 week old with someone to go to dinner. I needed it.

S gets swaddled arms out from his 9/10pm feeding until his 9am feeding. So he takes his MOTN feedings swaddled that way and by nightlight. I hate to disturb him in the MOTN, and we swaddle a bit loose so he can still kick a bit in the swaddle.

Did you see her at the Outback? I think she was terrified to see you in a place with so many steak knives in arms reach.

YES! I passed her on the way to the bathroom.
And @persephonerose it's a long story. My husband was still at the table when I saw her though. I should write the birth story already. It will be featured on next season of American Horror Story. AHS: Birth Story.

We swaddle with her arms out. She's never been a fan of arms in, since she likes to have her little hands by her face.

That nurse is terrible. Did you file an official complaint?
We left S with my mother to go to dinner, and run errands a few times. Your LO was well cared for while you took a breather; nothing wrong with that!!!
