@krystal- thanks hun, makes me feel better. And i understand about the animal thing. I have three- 2 cats and a dog. And honestly- i want them all gone. The dog is doing freaking fantastic- his meds are helping him so much (he's a schnauzer so a terrier like your little one- they are all very high strung) and he is doing so well. I thought i'd have so many issues with him. He's been such a good boy i'm amazed. But the cats, and the dog, it's like, too much to handle. And i know they're not getting the attention they want or deserve. They were my entire world... and everything has shifted to this one tiny little body.
That's awesome about the cloth diapers!! Ava's cord fell off on friday- the hospital had left her clamp on and had to get that removed at the drs on wednesday- but she had been tugging at it, and hitting it, so it was super loose- (cue insane mommy) and it finally fell off, i had a heart attack because i thought it was too early- but it actually looks good! Was so scared. And yeah the night sweats! Oh my gosh! They were so bad last night that i woke up freezing because i was dripping! Sheesh. it's terrible. And i'm still bleeding a bit, i thought it was almost gone but then it came back a bit heavier again- nothing worrisome but just tricky and annoying. It's trying my patience. OH and you've been bf'ing for a while- tmi but are your nipples still really sore ? I seem to have a lot of trouble with them. And if i don't have them covered at all times- i leak everywhere. I mean if i'm feeding her i need a towel under them because i've already soaked her shirt. Excess leaking. I also think it's awesome that you have gone out and about. I mean, i am afraid of going anywhere yet! I feel like i need to stay in my house where it's safe.
@natalie- Hun you probably don't have the nightsweats because it has to do with bfing. It makes you sweat terribly. Even worse if you are engorged - awful. LOL i do miss my drink occasionally- but i didn't really do the drunk wild nights. I could have like one or two drinks and be on the floor. I'm a light weight! lol. I just enjoy watching tv, unwinding at the end of the day, and having a nice drink. But, i'm ok without it for a while! I could go for a nice glass of wine though.
@Sequeena- How are you and your boy holding up?
@mal- so sorry about the jaundice hun- i hear it's not that uncommon though. So once you get through the annoying testing- i think you're going to be just fine.
Rooting for you and baby! And my dh goes back to work tomorrow... came up so fast. Scary that tomorrow i'll be on my own. So nervous.
@ttc- Omg it's pouring here too. I walked the dog in it this morning- to get out of the house because dh was up with her and she wasn't screaming- so i took the time to walk ben. He pranced out in the rain- and it actually was really nice. Felt like a kid with my crocs on, and wanted to just go walking down the street with the water going in my shoes. Guess that makes me loony. It was so fresh and real out there. Relaxing almost. You should try to take a light stroll to to get rid of the cooped up feeling. I bet your boy would love it! if you have someone to watch the young one, just take the older out and go splash in some puddles.
AFM- doing a bit better today, used the co-sleeper we got at target yesterday. She used it!!! :yippee: and i actually slept pretty well! had a few diaper changes during the night, and a few feeds- but she does very well at night, doesn't wake up as much to feed. But, she always does- and lets me know it's that time to be changed and eat again. She leads me in the scheduling. it's nice.
My nipples are pretty sore, i hope that goes away soon. And the pads i'm going through is insane- it's got to calm down sooner or later, they're too expensive to buy so many!
And we are going through diapers like crazy!!!! and wipes! omg! i mean i was expecting a ton but this is more than a ton! I have the baby with Constant Poop Syndrome! CPS! CPS!
Last night i was cleaning her up, just a little poo in her diaper. Well, then she gushed urine ALL over the changing table, and then shot poop. seriously baby? so we had to be changed because our urine went everywhere.
She's lucky she's so damn cute.
