Oh and also we'd have no-one to have the dogs- the lad who usually stays at our house with them is also going to the wedding! The terrier also can't do kennels!

 

[SBB]

Lou I don't blame you for being pissed off at all

That's ridiculous they're having no kids at the wedding... Who does that?! Strange...

God a whole weekend alone would certainly make me more likely to argue!



Chell I'm in bed so will watch your vid tomorrow

I really should try and go to sleep now as I'm sure Ben will be up any time soon! I've just noticed on the video monitor that he's lying on his front! He's never done that before! It's so scary!

I also think if he wakes briefly at all he'll scream cos he's stuck! Even though he turned front to back at 12 weeks and for ages afterwards as soon as he learnt to do back to front it's like hes forgot to do it the other way! Either that or hes too lazy! In the day though i can't leave him to play independently on his mat cos he turns to his front and then just screams til I turn him onto his back- and then just repeats! I tried ignoring him to make him do it himself but he just screams until hes sick the bloody plonker!!

Where's Casey tonight?

 

[kcw81]

I am here - will read back in a bit but hello all! Good night ukers and Lou I sent u a message just now on words.

 

[kcw81]

Hey guys sorry I am mia today.

Nice blankie JEss! you are talented.

Suz that sucks you overreacted cuz it is bound to make you feel bad. I Think you should totally be given leeway in all situations as new moms we deserve a lot of leeway to act like dicks. Especially you and Lou who are SOO sleep deprived! IT can't be helped! I Wish Sammuel would sleep. xxoo

Chell will try to go watch your video in a bit. very cute pics of your three kids you posted yesterday!!

Lou thats rough you have to juggle which pics you send to whom since the ILs have a beef with your methods. I Would say screw them and send them all the same pics but I understand if it stresses them out. its so dumb though I Wish they were more educated on it and understood that it was fine. ugh. What do you win with the contest?

Does anyone know about abnormally low sodium blood levels in younger adults? Specifically in overproducing breast feeders and whether its really that big of a deal?

I keep having to get my blood tested because my sodium was low and I tried to tell the doc I pump 60 oz milk per day, plus I workout everyday, so I need to drink at least what I am outputting plus what a normal person needs right? She seems all brainwashed or something saying I must only drink 64 oz water per day, and it is not normal to drink more than that. That doesn't make sense because that is what a non breastfeeding girl drinks. IT only makes sense that you have to replace the fluids you lost to breastfeeding plus sweating plus then a normal person needs 64 oz per day.

I tried to only drink 64 oz a day after her first advice to me a month ago and it messed me up, I was really dehydrated and dry mouthed and constipated. I seriously do express 60 ounces of milk a day, its not a lie. So what can I do? She wants me to come in tomorrow and talk about it more since my levels were low again today.

Anyway, if you know anything about this and whether she is being stupid or I am please let me know. I feel really good all the time and healthy so I Don't feel like I need to change. I do drink a TON of milk water and juice. Anyway sorry for the long post but it bothers me I have to go back in to discuss this more with her, like its worrying me and I wish they would leave me alone.

 

[babyloulou]

Casey- hi honey- I don't know much about it i'm afraid but I do know that too much water can be very bad for you and even fatal in extreme cases! How much do you think you drink in a day? Can you not cut down your pumping a bit? X

 

[kcw81]

I am trying to slowly wean, so I guess in the next couple months I will be off the pump and maybe the situation will be fixed? I drink like twice what she recommends at least.

 

[lisaf]

I drink a ton of water Casey. I Don't know much about low sodium but what if you drank stuff like Gatorade instead? Would that help?
I drink that much water often, but I don't have a sodium issue so I'd hate to say it's safe. Why didn't your doc recommend you drink a bit less instead of cutting in half what you are used to?

 

[kcw81]

I don't know Lisa- I was talking to her Asst on the phone all the times- not her. Maybe when I go see her in person I can explain better. She will probably push that I wean now but I am trying to stockpile a kittle longer. She said 64oz of anything- including juice v8 etc. I feel like it's just different times of day I have gone in for the test affect the results based on whether I just pumped and chugged water and juice or not.

 

[kcw81]

I googled low sodium and it's like a problem for old people. I feel like the doc may be just sort if grasping at straws for some extra billings related to me!

 

[Onelildream]

Kc I am a firm believer that ur body will tell u when something is wrong. Tell her how u feel and maybe make her test u when u are weaned down a bit on pumping. That will only be in 2 months or so... I have to stop bfing, Connor wants to feel full and my morning feedings are not sufficient any longer; he wants formula. Plus AF is not here and it has been a month already of cutting my feeding down more than half. I think the last feed will be the hardest. I really will be sad. Are u cutting off completely too, or just down enough to pump at night on your trip?

 

[kcw81]

I don't know yet chell ! Weaning is hard! It's hArd to tell your body to turn off the milk when it clearly doesn't want to! I was trying to wean completely but now I think I might have to still go 2-3 pumps a day in 2 months. If I could get it to once in the am and once a night that would be nice!

 

[SBB]

Quiet today!

Casey I have no idea re the sodium / water thing. If you feel good then I would think that's what counts!

Lou I am going to do Kinleys 'K' tonight so Ben will have to wait! I will need to have the letter for photographing in a couple of weeks anyway so won't be able to send it straight away, hope that's ok...

x x x

 

[babyloulou]

Yeah course it is Suz xx

Casey- did you go back to the doctors today? What did she say? X

 

[kcw81]

Hey suz- r u and Danny patched up? I wonder how cat and k are.

I think I will try to cancel my doc appt today. I will ask if I can delay the discussion till I wean and retake a blood test.

 

[2016]

Hi ladies. Someone might have posted and I missed it but has anyone heard any update on Kinley from Cath? They are always on my mind...

 

[kcw81]

Lou I tried to cancel but they really want me to come in. I have to go in a couple hours. Ugh.

2016- not heard anything lately...

 

[babyloulou]

Casey- GO!! It's obviously important

No I haven't heard from Cat either I might email her...

 

[SBB]

Yeh I was wondering if anyone heard from Cat lately... I hope they are all doing well...

Yeh casey me and Danny are fine now thanks
