Never thought sleeping 3 hours at a time would feel so restful.
Supposedly we are going to get a winter storm tomorrow and my parents are driving here today for the weekend to meet DD3. All winter when they have forecasted snow we haven't had anything so for my parents traveling I hope it fizzles out like previous storms.
Stillllll pregnant (40.2) so I guess I'll hop over to February 15 soon. I can't be the only one, right? I know 40.2 is not annoying overdue but the waiting is making this Type A momma go crazy. I've never been so caught up with grading, lesson planning, and cleaning in my life! I now know why women schedule inductions. Haha My midwife made a plan for me to see her for two more office visits with the second one being on February 9th and a woman in my birthing class went twelve days late! TWELVE DAYS! I don't have enough money to online shop for ten more days!! Hahaha oh man!
Congrats to you mommas that have had outside babies and sorry I can't offer any advice on sleeping and feeding!
40.4 today. Feeling like she's never coming. But new development is a sharp pain in right above where my hip and thigh meet. Maybe it's a sign?! Or maybe an overdue pregnant lady's wishful thinking?!?
So Zoey was nursing yesterday and I felt a sharp pain which wasn't much different than I usually feel, but when she spit out my nipple a piece of it was hanging off. X_X For someone with no teeth she can certainly do a lot of damage! My poor nipple
Hello all! Been kinda scarce lurking again. Hope everyone is doing well. Congrats to all with outside babies! And hang in there you ladies that are still pregnant!!! Lili slept for 6 hours straight whoop!! We got some gas drops for her agrees days of fussy baby, an they are a life saver!! On the instructions it says we can mix them with her bottle? I never did that with DD1, does anyone have experience with that and did it work any differently?
After giving birth on the 4th only to have LO stay in the NICU from the 9th to the 19th for severe jaundice & then an infection and then have him re-admitted to the PICU on the 25th because he had pyloric stenosis & needed surgery has been quite stressful. I'm so glad he's home now & I hope to not step foot into another hospital for a long, long time.
Hope everyone has been doing well & has a great weekend!
I've been REALLY really sick this week. Fever, headaches, ear infection, head cold, etc. I haven't been online as much. Finally feeling better. Thank you for asking! I'm 'round
(Zoe Claire- born at 33.6 weeks- November 19, '14 - 5lbs 15oz)
Hi Ladies! :-h I haven't been on much recently, but lurk occasionally. It's easy to catch up since the board is pretty dead now....
Anyway, DD is one month old today!! She's adorable and perfect, of course, but SLOW DOWN, BABY!!
We're supposed to get a giant snowstorm tomorrow, and I'm hoping it comes and we're snowed in for days! No real reason, and we actually have a Superbowl party to attend, but I wouldn't mind a few days of hunkering down with the family. Plus I bought stuff to make lots of dips and snacks just in case we have to stay home for the big game! But, after that, I'll be so ready for SPRING!!
Hope all of you ladies who are still pregnant get to meet your babies super soon!!
@Mrs_Bennett totally agree on getting snowed in this week! It's my dhs last week before he goes back and after this week if we get snow he is a cop so will prob be ordered in for doubles which means I'm stuck home alone for extended periods of time in bad weather with two under two! Yuck! So I'll enjoy snow this week and then I'd like it to be spring so I don't have to stress that!
I'm sad this place is nearly dead now. I miss everyone.
I've been wanting to go get my double stroller, but don't want to pay taxes on it, so I called a store in Oregon to see if they had some in the store. She informs me that last month they were giving the second seat away for free! $180 savings! Argh! I missed out! Anyway, I think we may go on Monday to get it. I'm excited! I'm getting the baby jogger city select double. I'm thinking I want silver, Teal, or black. Decisions. ...
Is it weird that I'm actually a little sad that today is the last day of January 2015? It feels like there was so much magic surrounding this particular month for so long...for me anyway.
I didn't even realize that until I read your post. I forget the date when I'm not at work. DH's birthday is Feb 4 - I'd better get to work on his present!
So Zoey was nursing yesterday and I felt a sharp pain which wasn't much different than I usually feel, but when she spit out my nipple a piece of it was hanging off. X_X For someone with no teeth she can certainly do a lot of damage! My poor nipple
ACK. That sounds so painful.
My ILs are going to be here in about two hours and I've got so much to do still, but I'm sitting here in my PJs because the baby is asleep and it's quiet. DH is currently making beer so I'm leaving him in charge when I start to get ready. Glad he still gets to have hobbies /sarcasm
---------quote fail---------- Omg it is! She bit the other one a little bit this morning before went to see her pediatrician. He suggested I try and pump some of the colostrum out so she didn't have to latch. Well my "good" nipple was so tender from being over used last night that not even 30 seconds after I started the pump the under side of my nipple tore and started bleeding. So now I can't BF at all until my nipples heal I cried for a good hour over the pain and not being able to BF for a few days.
@grumpycat88 does he make special flavors? I would subtlety move stuff around on him when he isn't watching. I do that to my H when his hobbies piss me off. (Childish, I know, but it's fun)
My H is a tinkerer. He is currently working on a night light for Zoey's room. This is what it looks like so far
I was really hoping to nap but the princess has other ideas. (:|
All of us fell asleep on the couches for a couple hours last night. Then we played the fussy/feed me game until 4am. After that, DS slept for a good 4 hours without either of us holding him. Lately, the only way we have been getting long streches of sleep is one of us sleeps with DS. I really didn't want to get into that habit but sleep felt soooo good. However, today DS is deciding to cry when we put him down. Probably time to bust out the Moby so we can get some housework done.
@heidih21 completely had a "Duh" moment after reading your response lol I didn't even think about using a shield. I'll definitely pick some up and see if it helps. I've been pushing out a little colostrum and rubbing them down with it every couple hours and then using lanolin. Hopefully they will heal within the next couple days. I have a meeting with a lactation specialist on Tuesday and I really don't want to have to cancel because they haven't healed enough.
Edit: I posted it before I even wrote anything...I need a nap
H just left to go grocery shopping and pick up lunch. He's making chili tomorrow for Super Bowl, which is amazing of him to do. He is not a cook, by any stretch of the imagination, so for him to attempt something new is awesome. We finally had a talk last night, but I don't really feel any better. He wanted me to get things of my mind so I finally told him what had been bothering me for some time about his health. All he kept saying was he "has a plan" and to "have a lot of faith" in him, but he refuses to tell me the plan! It's like he wants me to be the open book, but refuses to be one himself. Just frustrating. He is being a very helpful husband and doting father, so I really can't complain too much. We are waiting until LO is at least 3 weeks old to introduce her to a bottle. Then he will get up for feedings in the middle of the night. Can't wait!

This baby is very comfortable where she is.
