Hi ladies! Congrats to all the babies born this past week!
Doing well over here. Still pumping every 3-4 hours around the clock. My goal is to make it past the holidays to save the money then use up my freezer stash then switch to formula around the time she starts solids at 6m. In my head I'd like to go to 1 year old but realistically I don't see myself nursing or pumping for that long. I already want my normal boobs back! I hate these porn star boobs that don't fit into most of my clothes and I hate nursing bras! I just want to wear some cute bras again lol
Livia is doing well... Horrible sleeper just like her sister but I'm used to it already so it shouldn't be too much of a shock to us haha
Haven't been around for a while but here is my update!
My yellow bump turned blue on the 18th of August at 4pm exactly. We have named our beautiful boy Theo George, George being a family name on both sides - we have 2 very happy grandpas!!
He was 8lbs4 and a half oz and 54cm long which is just over 21 inches.
11 whole days early = very surprised mummy and daddy!
Greats I got some pretty lace nursing bras from Target. I have a black lace one and a cream/light beige lace one both with nude underneath. They look like normal bras and very nice for $19.99
Greats I have some nice nursing bras too. Poor DH about pooped his pants when I took him to big some things for nursing (don't ask, I'm back on my "I'm going to do it" kick). But, I got some cute bras for about $20 and they're actually extremely supportive.
Born 21 Aug after 3 hours of labour, which unfortunately had to do on my own, because my water broke at 3am. DH had to stay with DS as we do not have any family. Traumatic experience as the hospital was so understaffed at night, had one midwife and nurse alternating between me and 2 other women on labour. Had a student midwife to watch over me but she was terribly inexperienced and also 6 months pregnant herself, and had to excuse herself for bathroom breaks several times.
But this baby girl is such an angel. Sleeping so well, feeds like a pro, never cries except when hungry and needing a change. Total opposite of my DS who even at this point is a hundred times harder to take care of.
Congrats lian! Omigosh I'm sorry you had a less than optimal experience, laboring yourself and poor staff... but sounds like all that doesn't matter now as you have a perfect baby girl!
I'm officially the most pregnant I've ever been. Had DD at 38+6, water broke at home around 1am then delivered around 6:30am. I'm feeling pretty good actually, just wanting to give OH his son already. I know he's been anxiously waiting to see and hold his lil man.
Having a major oversupply and blocked milk ducts issue over here. Also found out I have a very forceful let down so that explains why Livia doesn't like to nurse and her poor face ends up covered in milk. Made the huge decision to wean from breastfeeding/pumping next month and switch to formula. Doing so for my own selfish reasons tbh. I hate nursing and I hate pumping. My boobs hurt constantly from oversupply and blocked ducts no matter how often I massage them out. I miss my old boobs and hate having to base my daily routine around pumping every couple hours. I can't leave the house for more than a couple hours unless I bring my pump and supplies with, and it sucks!!!! Luckily hubby and my family are being very supportive of my decision. Rylee was formula fed so I think that's why this decision wasn't that difficult to make.
Livia is fine, only sleeping 2.5 hour stretches though.
Cameron Joseph was born on August 27th at 4:41am weighing 9 pounds and 21 inches long!
9 POUNDS I would have never ever thought that was possible! We are on cloud nine! Spent our first day/night home now and are adjusting to life with a newborn, which is going fairly smooth. Cameron fits right into the family. He is a generally well tempered baby and is nursing regularly which is absolutely a dream for me! OH has been AMAZING, like he's done this before... I have a whole new love and adoration for him. Will pop on when I can. Hope everyone is well!
A bit behind, but Oliver Stephen was born August 25th at 6:28am. 8lbs, 13oz. Really quick labour, nearly birthed without the midwife! We got home the same day and he had a couple of rough nights up all night feeding but he's settled in really well. Like he's always been here.
I'm late to the game on getting on here, but Dillon James arrived August 23rd. He weighed 6 pounds 14 ounces and 20.5 inches long. We are so in love with him! Labor was pretty fast and painful, although I had 4 straight days of prodromal labor leading up to it as well. Now we're just living the sleep deprived life with our sweet baby boy!
