Three Things Tuesday 6/28

Jenly17 · June 2016

1. I feel terrible saying this, but I'm ready to wean from breastfeeding. I rented a hospital grade pump for a month and it's just about time to return it. My supply is low and I honestly just want my body back. I feel so much guilt because DS loves to boob and is really comforted by nursing. If it wasn't for that I probably would've thrown in the towel a while ago.

2. For the past 3 days, I've been wearing my Bellefit on the smallest size. Wooooo! No joke though, I still can't wait to take the thing off after several hours. Plus DH calls it my body armor... I get it, it's not hot.

3. We DTD for the first time the other day and it felt so much better than I thought it would feel. Maybe it's because it was after the second child? I dunno but yay for sex again!

1. I'm sitting here enjoying a bowl of oatmeal and peace and quiet. Both kids and DH are sleeping. Cora got up at 6 for a bottle then went back to sleep. I stayed up and got things done.

2. We're having a pool day with friends. That's what I'm going to miss when I go back to work...Getting together with my SAHM friends and their kids (during the week).

3. Cora is almost growing out of 0-3 month size clothes. Wish she'd stop growing so fast. She has a ton of cute clothes she hasn't worn.

1. Alex took his 6 week vaccinations like a champ. He cried for a couple of seconds and that was it. I am so proud of my baba.

2. Today was the first time I drove with LO in my car. My mom had to sit in the backseat to calm me constantly.

3. LO is picking up weight at a healthy pace. So happy cause he had a slow start but is now making up for it. Jay!

gamommyx3 · June 2016

Charissa I'm always so happy to see that Alex is doing well after all you went through

1. I saw my favorite musician (Andrew Mcmahon ) last night. It felt very weird (bad weird) to be out at a show instead of being home with the family. But it was by far the best show I've been to (I've probably seen him a dozen times at least) and as my husband said I won't have a lot of opportunities to go out.

2. We DTD a few times this past week & it was fine (more than fine!!) After the first minute or 2. I second the YAY for sex again!!

3. My kid has decided to just never sleep again ever. Im tired.

Charissadeats · June 2016

@Aquinna82 Thank you!! That means so much, I actually shed a tear just now. Haha I am a loser.

dsmith211 · June 2016

1. LO had 2 great nights of sleeping through the night, of course while my mom was here. Now he's back to being up every 2 and a half hours like clockwork. On the plus side I think my body has finally adjusted bc I'm following the sleep when baby sleeps rule and I'm not completely exhausted right now.
2. I desperately need new clothes. I'm actually back at pre-pregnancy weight but all my muscle is gone from not running for so long and all my jeans look like saggy potato sacks on me. It's a good thing I got the all clear to start exercising again.
3. Only 5 weeks left on my leave and while it took me awhile to adjust and I was desperately wanting to go back, now I'm kinda sad. I want to go back bc I'm definitely not cut out to be a SAHM and I need to get back into that routine but I'm going to miss hanging out with this little guy all the time.

Jenly17 · June 2016

@cortney626 the clothing struggle is real. I try to put DS in something new everyday, but he's growing like a weed.

wamam027 · June 2016

1. Im in the baby growing out of clothes too fast club too. I've been putting DD in 3-6 month clothes for the past few days because 0-3 are too small.

2. DH's evil mother sent us a boat load of clothes and the bitchiest card ever. Part of me doesn't want to put one piece of that clothing on my daughter, but I'm trying to be the bigger person and remind myself that they're just going to get peed on, pooped on, and spit up on. Thanks grandma Evil!

3. My dad gets here tomorrow and I'm so so excited. This whole single parenting thing is a real struggle and it'll be so nice to be able to have adult interaction and see him with his grandbaby for the first time. Countdown to grandpa time!

NinnyJean · June 2016

1. Poor LO has been staying up like four hours in the mornings and gets herself so exhausted that she just cries and cries until she wears herself out. We're trying to find a way to get her to sleep earlier but haven't found a good method
2. Pollie slept in her crib the past two nights!
3. One of my best friends has yet to meet Pollie (6 weeks old) and hasn't even mentioned coming up to see her. She lives about two hours away but it still irritates me she hasn't mentioned seeing her

and_peggy · June 2016

1. Today we have the inspection for the house we bought.

2. One week exactly until my birthday and until DD is 2 months old.

JoMunson · June 2016

1. DH and my anniversary is next week. We usually go camping that week where we had our honeymoon but we're putting it off a week because my mom is having surgery. I honestly had no clue it was July next week. How is that possible?
2. I'm wearing some ankle boots I haven't been able to wear since month 6 pregnancy. I'm so happy!!
3. I'm now obsessed with makeup tutorials. I'm usually a wash and go girl (except for hair which I usually straighten). I'm thinking a change is in order.

kbrands7 · June 2016

1. I'm finally feeling like taking both kiddos out aline isn't too difficult. We went clothes shopping and grocery shopping this morning.

2. Count me in the yay sex! crowd.

3. I really need to try for a nap if I can get both boys down at the same time today. I haven't had one for close to a week and I'm tiiiired. At least DS1 seems to be coming out of his sleep regression.

kitandcat · June 2016

1. DH and I DTD on Sunday (5 wks + 2 days PP csection)... I did not think I was ready and I was so worried it was going to be uncomfortable, but it was ah-mazing!! Count me in the YAY!! crowd!

2. I finally figured out my Moby wrap!!!! The hilarious thing is, I posted in the baby wearing board that I couldn't figure it out, and then tons of people said the had the K'Tan, and I went to their site and they had a video that compared the ktan to the moby and it actually taught me a way to wear it that finally works!!!! AAHH!!

3. I am below my pre pregnancy weight!! I've been eating like shit and not exercising so HALLELUJAH for breastfeeding! It's motivating me to watch what I eat and start exercising to see how my body reacts! Waa hoo!!

2.red.heads · June 2016

1. I hope my older two kids remember the good times and not my scary mommy times (like 2 hours ago - both twins were hungry at once and the crying had me so frustrated/angry).

2. I can't wait for school to start already. Then I'll know my older two have something engaging to do and I can focus on the babies, guilt-free. Then when the big kids get home from school I can (try) to focus more on them, guilt-free. That's the hope anyway!

3. By the time I get my birth announcements in the mail, my babies will be able to walk to the mailbox. lol.

doozer1345 · June 2016

1. Currently obsessed with making different kinds of pasta salads for dinner. They're light but still filling in this God awful heat!
2. June has been super fussy the past 2 days and I'm about to lose my mind. Not colic bc she is soothed by me holding her but dear Lord I'm exhausted.
3. I get a pool day (sans kiddos) on Thursday!! I'm excited.

bkjade · June 2016

1. DH has had concerts or events almost every night this week. Doing mom duty solo is making me cranky, even though I know it's good for us to both do our own things and he checked with me before he committed to going anywhere.

2. Speaking of doing our own things, I went to see Dolly Parton with some girlfriends on Saturday while DH did his first solo night. It was my first "night out" since LO arrived. I had fun, but with all of the pumping, the hangover (evidently I cannot drink like I used to), and just missing her I would have rather just had a spa day. So much wasted breast milk.

breastmilk > wine

3. Hoping to get cleared to work out at my 6-week on Friday. I feel so out of shape. I've lost all of the pregnancy weight but I'm so squishy and constantly out of breath. I'm hoping to be bikini-ready by the time we go to Puerto Rico for our anniversary in August. That might be optimistic.

amberraysofdawn · June 2016

1. Had my 6w pp appt today. Cleared for exercise/etc, but still on pelvic rest until I get my IUD in a couple of weeks. Otherwise I have to wait for my period to show up to get it, and since I'm still BFing who knows when that will happen. So still not quite in the yay sex! camp yet. I'm too tired anyway so I'm okay with waiting another couple of weeks. DH isn't happy, but he isn't the one who can get pregnant so he'll just have to deal with it.

2. DD slept for six hours straight last night! Had an almost wake up around three am where she was making lots of noise in her sleep and stretching/stirring, but I just sort of snuck a paci in her mouth and she settled down and went back to sleep after that.

3. After reading all the stuff in the Babywearing thread, I stopped by BRU and picked up a K'Tan Original (I wanted the Breeze, but this was the only one they had in-store). Will try it out in a bit after DD wakes up from her nap...

AuntieCre5 · June 2016

1. Reading people comments about losing all there baby weight already make me want to cry. I still have so much to lose.

2. Started working out yesterday after my 6 week appointment and it felt so good! Happy to have that back

3. Ready for the hubs to have some time off of work. I miss him and his help so much!

Bltbear82 · June 2016

1. I went back to the gym yesterday, saw my trainer and I didn't want to die so I was really excited. I told her I felt good this morning, she laughed and told me she was being nice yesterday. Scared for tomorrow.

2. My in laws left!! One of my best friends is in town for work so he's coming to see us tonight or tomorrow, then my husband's oldest friend and his wife and two kids are in town from Sweden and spending 4th of July weekend with us. I need a vacation from entertaining.

3. The parks department runs free swim lessons in the outdoor pools and my toddler won a spot through the lottery. I'm so excited for him to swim twice a week this summer instead of just playing at the water parks. He's going to lose his mind when he sees the pool!

yogahh · June 2016

1- My PP appointment is tomorrow, and I hope I am cleared to work out since I already started running

We are joining a new gym this week after I am cleared, and all I can think about is getting my ass on a spin bike! Gym has child care. Just wonder what age you all would be comfortable leaving LO at the gym care center?

2- Today is DH's last day of work (off for the summer). While I am happy he will be here to help with the baby, I am not excited like I thought I would be to spend the next 5 weeks together. Since having the baby, there has been some distance between us, and honestly, every little thing he has been doing is bugging the crap out of me. Hopefully we can use this time to get back on track.

3- Harper's pedi apt was today. She is 7 weeks (as of today) and weighing 12 pounds and is 24 inches. I think 3 of those 12 pounds is in her thighs. Another 2 pounds in her cheeks

Bltbear82 · June 2016

@yogahh just confirm with the gym, I know my local Equinox doesn't start childcare until 6 months. I think your comfort level depends on a lot of factors kind of like daycare, what's the child to caregiver ratio, what's their sick policy and vaccines, what their policy is for finding you on the floor.

Kurrant · June 2016

1) I had my first glass of wine in almost a year this past weekend! I pumped during the week and took 10oz out on Sunday and DH fed her. It was great!

2) I've been aggressively block feeding recently and Lucy is like a different baby. She cries less, she sleeps for 6 hours straight at night, she's less angry when she needs to poop or fart And her poops aren't green anymore! Yay!

3) I found a lady auctioning off loads of new baby clothes that she doesn't want from her baby shower and wow is it cheap! I got 6 items from Carters (which we don't even have in NZ) for $6! I was going to buy a bunch of items this week but I'm glad I found this instead. I really don't want to spend a fortune on clothes she will outgrow in a few months.

cortney626 · June 2016

@yogahh My gym won't take the babies until they're 6 months old. If it was a younger age, I'd send her after her 2 month shots. But my older one goes to kids club and would be with her. The teacher in there just holds the baby the whole time when there's a baby. They don't feed or change diapers, they'd call for the parent. I can't wait for her to be 6 months so I don't have to wait until DH gets home. I'd like to be done with the gym by then so we can have family time then.

gamommyx3 · June 2016

@Kurrant I'm always happy to see you & Lucy get a WIN too

PYLWhammy · June 2016

1. Went to the LC again today - I've been exclusively pumping/bottle feeding for a week, but the LC got baby back on the boob (without the nipple shield!) and since coming home she's fed twice on the boob. I'm so excited that maybe we can finally have the breastfeeding relationship I've wanted.

2. I love my MIL and we have no issues whatsoever, but this weekend she advised us to not pick baby up every time she cries. And DH is agreeing with her (he's such a mama's boy). I think I've said "you can't spoil a newborn" a million times in the past two days.

3. I've gone out two days in a row with just the baby, just to run errands and such - SO awesome. I'm happy I don't have to rely on DH to be my taxi anymore.

Yes me too!! Was rooting for you guys and so happy she is better now.

1.
It is 4:45 and baby is on my lap after a feeding on the boppy in my bed. About to swaddle and transfer to bassinet. Toddler climbed in our bed a bit ago. Then after baby is swaddled and transferred ever so carefully in hopes not to wake, I will transfer toddler back to their bed.

I will savor this quiet peaceful moment though. It is kind of cute as they are blissfully asleep in that deep peaceful sleep phase. I love that the babies are so safe and healthy and resting so peacefully. Life is good right now you know? I know it only gets more complicated from here or so I hear as they grow, but right now while they are so young we are in a nice little time vortex and I am so glad I get to enjoy this time with them and watch them grow into their own little people.

2. As usual I want bagels from my favorite bagel place. Or jalapeño chips. Or something delicious.
We don't have those items in the house so I will eat an apple after putting the kids back to bed. Probably with some almond butter that I bought in bulk late one night while searching Amazon.

3. I got somewhat matching red, white, and blue shirts for both kids. And also ear protection for both so we can watch firework shows. And glow sticks to bring to the shows plus a red white and blue pinwheel, all for the toddler. I would say we are prepared for the 4th this year
