it's to early/too late for me to come up with a creative name for the thread! Up pumping and listening to my husband struggle to get Jack to go to sleep. No idea why he's being so difficult to go back down tonight!
We had our date night together which to be honest I was a little hesitant about bc I had so many emotions regarding how little help he had been lately, my mom leaving tomorrow and still holding grudge/nervous about his myrtle beach boys trip in March. I found out he was going over xmas but to avoid fighting this past month really haven't brought it up-seemed like a
Waste of a conversation in my
Opinion since neither of us is going to change our mind on the trip- I think he was selfish to do it but it's booked so what can ya do...
Well anyway he mentioned how he feels like he was much better with dealing with my dd when she was born so I used that to kind of enter the convo about how much he has sucked lately and it actually went really well and it transitioned into discussing the trip and i feel like we
We're able to hit the hard topics right away, solve them (hopefully) and then enjoy the rest of the night.
So we had some wine, good food, then walked down to our favorite bar and had a beer and we were
Home by 830 lol! My mom
Had made cookies and bc 3
Drinks made me drunk I ate all the cookies when everyone went to bed X_X
Re: Sunday randoms
We are having newborn pictures taken Sunday morning. It's Super Bowl Sunday but we will be done before the game comes on. A friend of mine from high school is taking the pictures and she's only charging $50! She's just getting back into her photography business after taking a year off to have her son. I'm excited for these pictures.
I'm hoping that the Super Bowl will be an exciting game and a good distraction for me. Let's go SEAHAWKS!!!!
DH and I (both tired and not feeling great) got into a fight last night about diapers. We kind of made up. Maybe we'll make up more later.
DS1 had a 101.5 fever yesterday, and then DH started getting flu-like symptoms. I felt like that on Friday but thought it was just the mastitis, but maybe I had a virus too. So idk if we'll go to church today if they're sick.
First of all GO HAWKS! :P I can't wait to put Liam in his Seahawks onesie my SIL made. I'm so excited for this game!
Anyway, I managed to get 2 hour stretches from Liam last night. Man does he eat, and poop! At least he goes back to sleep right away. (Knocks on wood)
My boobs are so leaky. I woke up drenched!
My mom leaves today, and now I'm kinda sad. I hate that she's leaving on these 'bad' terms. Yesterday was much better with her. I'm sad we both missed out of a week of being able to enjoy Liam, together. I love her and wish we were closer.
@britb618 glad you had a good time last night!
My boobs are getting really hard so I think my milk is coming in! \:D/ I'm hoping my nips are healed enough today so I can pump. I've been too scared to look at them this morning because I know my sleep bra is stuck to one of them. Note to self: don't put on a bra right after you lather down with lanolin.
My mom sent me a text at 7am that said "special delivery for mommy, daddy and guests. Get them when you're up. I double wrapped them and sealed them in a mesh cooler so you don't have to worry about bugs." I was super confused so I went out front to see what she was talking about. She made blueberry and regular pancakes for all of us and left a bottle of syrup to go with them She's awesome!
@britb618 glad you had a good date!
End post
@kmf218 hope your nipples heal quickly! That's awesome of your mom
@labellavida tonight will be fun! Sorry about your mom, at least you guys kinda talked about things but it sucks that she is leaving before you had a chance to really enjoy each other- hugs!
@MusicFanatic that happens to me all the time- I absolutely hate the feeling and am just happy when I drop the bottle and not the baby!
@littlefoote hope wyatts congestion clears up, Jack and Mackenzie both have it too...much better to snuggle at home
I started laying piano at church again this morning. Seeing DH hold Little Man during the service was adorable, but I was sad I couldn't be the one to hold him or at least be near DH for most of the service.
DH now has to work during the superbowl. I'm a little disappointed. One of his employees mysteriously called in sick, so now is just me, baby, dog, and two teams I don't want to see win. I'm rooting for the commercials.
TMI ALERT
On another note, I need to call my Dr. My bleeding is starting to get progressively worse. I'm starting to pass clots, but they are small. H is frustrated because I know I need to call, but don't want to today. I don't want to miss the Super Bowl. You know, priorities.
GO HAWKS!!!!
The real MVPs of tonight's game
2. I ended up in the ER on Wednesday night at 1 am. I had a bad crying day and my mom stayed late and listened to me talk and cry about the state of my marriage. Then she left for the night and I was all alone with all 3 littles. Boys were put to bed and I was nursing the baby. Five year old runs to the bathroom and vomits. I go try to help him feel better, shower him, re-dress him, strip his bed, re-make his bed and tuck him back in, get all his sheets and jammies in the washer, then I immediately have to run and vomit. I call my mom and tell her we are sick, but okay, I don't need her to come back.
As soon as I get off the phone, I start seeing stars, call right back and tell her I'm about to black out, get here NOW! Thank God baby is safely in her pack and play, but she is crying and I have a chain, deadlock, and the regular lock all locked on the outside door for the night, so mom won't be able to get in the house when she gets there. I start to make my way through the house to unlock the door and also yell to my five year old to come unlock the door because I'm not sure I'm going to make it. I only make it halfway through the house, to the dining room, before I black out, bang against a counter, and fall on the kitchen floor.
When I can eventually get back up again, I head for the other bathroom that is closer because now I have diarrhea. I black out again sitting on the toilet and I'm so so scared. I have my eyes wide open for a long time but can only see black and can hear the baby crying in the background but she sounds so far away and my ears are ringing. The boys are both up now and worried about me, the two year old is patting my leg saying "Mommy hurt". I can't move and all three of these little ones need me.
Thank God my mom and dad live next door so she gets there quickly! My dad follows and they call my aunt to come hold Syd while mom calls the doctor's emergency line and they tell her to take me to the ER for fluids. ER doctor decides that I'm very dehydrated from nursing and vomiting etc. and that infection that I had before having the baby never went away because there is still fluid on my ear. They never even gave me an IV, just sent me home with zofran, an antibiotic, and instructions to drink lots and lots of Gatorade.
My mom stayed the rest of the night, taking care of the baby and my five year old who continues to vomit all night. Since the baby had formula all night and I was so dehydrated, I almost completely lost my milk in one night and have been drinking ALL the Gatorade and water trying to get it back. But, at this point, even though my supply is getting back up there, I am seriously considering switching to formula so I don't end up in this situation again and it would be a lot easier when it's me vs. 3 kids. I must've fallen funny on my left hand because my middle finger hurts and the top of my hand is swollen.
3. I have lost all my baby weight plus, I actually weigh less now than I did before I got pregnant with my first. My pinky ring won't stay on my finger and falls off every morning in the shower. And, I was able to wear my pre-pregnancy jeans today. Obviously some of that is water weight that I need back, though. The find-out-your-husband-is-cheating and pass-out-of-dehydration diets are not the best way to lose weight.
