Daniel woke up at 1am last night... ugh.. I am not liking these wakeups... stupid sleep regression!

Taking him to the ENT doc today to look at his lip.. wish us luck!

 

[SBB]

Good luck Lisa! And Daniel!

X x x

Just ONE wakeup Lisa?? ONE all night???

 

[kcw81]

Yeah Lisa you can't complain on here until you got what Suz and Lou have. insomniac babies! Jess that is so exciting about Lillis tooth! she is going to be able to bite food soon! Jimmy still is a gummy old man baby. His might come in discolored too Lou because he had jaundice pretty bad. They say it can happen with Jaundice babies too - we had to put him on the bilirubin blanket for a week and everything.

Suz I am just busy busy cleaning house while jimmy watches and worrying about the inlaws getting here. I have so many things to worry about I don't know where to start so instead I am trying to keep super busy going above and beyond what is expected for cleaning and such. oh well. I will pack tomorrow I guess. Come to think of it, going on the trip is the thing I am in denial about, travelling always stresses me out. All the unknowns plus this time I have to pump. Ohhhhh man I gotta get moving here before I think about things and go into anxiety breakdown mode!! Glad you got some work done today.

 

[Peach Blossom]

Oh oh... think Lisa is in trouble!

 

[kcw81]

Someone play me in words pleeeeeeeease!!!

So the doctor says we can get it clipped.. but its a more invovled procedure. They have to swaddle/strap him down and inject numbing stuff. There is a higher risk of bleeding and they could have to put a stitch in.
I'm really torn about it. Every time I put him on the breast I want to do it, but then when I'm not in pain, I start second guessing it and don't know about putting him through that.
The doc said it will probably help. Though he said it isn't bad enough to interfere in most cases, but since I have pretty flat nipples it could be a factor in my pain problems.

It won't cause speech problems like the tongue tie can, the only potential to him is to have a gap between his teeth.
It feels selfish to put him through that for my comfort but then if it keeps us breastfeeding longer, then that is for his benefit too. UGH.. I'll probably do it, but I'm afraid it won't help and I'll have done that for nothing.

 

[lisaf]

oh, and I hate traveling too casey!

 

[kcw81]

Thanks Lisa! I am freaking out but trying not to think of anything related to us leaving. Denial. Wow so just get that thing fixed! It might make bfing feel so much better won't that be nice? Plus no gap in the teeth might help appearance right? He won't remember this trust me. R u just worried about his discomfort?

 

[lisaf]

I'm worried that I'll put him through pain and discomfort for my own selfish reasons. If it was needed for his health/development I wouldn't hesitate, you know?

I'm making DH come this time though!!! lol!

 

[lisaf]

yay!!! its fixed!!! whew, that was annoying!

 

[kcw81]

That centered text was weird. How long till his numbness wears off? I am sure it won't hurt If they numb him. He will dribble milk out like we do after we get novacaine at the dentist! So cute. Haha I am sadistic.

 

[lisaf]

lol, ok that part sounds cute.. but from experience with his tongue tie thing, its not so cute when its tinted with blood... after nursing him my nipple was smeared with blood.. .kind of creepy.

I wish I could know for certain that it would fix my problems nursing... ugh. What if I put him through that and it doesn't help, he just latches crappy on purpose?

 

[kcw81]

Yeah the potential benefits outweigh the downside. The downside is one measly day of pain for months of nipple relief. Compared to constant nipple pain and probably quitting bf early.

 

[lisaf]

yeah, I know, I just have to wrap my head around it. I even put off making the appointment until I could think it through.
Part of me feels guilty for putting him through pain, but the other part of me feels that its only fair after the pain he's put me through

 

[kcw81]

Totally! Good night Lisa I am going to go puke my stressed guts out. Ugh I wish we could just ffwd to when we are in Hawaii with everything already situated.

 

[Onelildream]

Lisa- do it and blame it on the gap thing. Doesn't matter hoe cute a guys is, if there is a huge gap in his teeth it's not the right kind of distraction! I would do it. Don't feel bad. But if it doesn't change the nursing maybe u should exclusively pump?

Jess hooray on the tooth! Milestones are so fun!

Casey- sorry bout the stress! I'll be right there with ya on that in a couple weeks!

Marg- trip sounds fun! I went on the 7day there. Had a blast! Bring some extra cash, the shopping is great at the marketplaces and you can barter them down well. I love getting the woodwork, like jewelry boxes, and knock off purses!

Oh my I forgot whatelse I've read! Sorry

Oh I sobbed today; Connor was crying and tense while poopin so I took his diaper off and he has a maaaaaaassive fissure where his butthole is literally torn from straining and bleeding. Omg. I wanted to puke and sew it up and bawled bc I never wanted that to happen to my sweet baby! I am calling the dr tomorrow to get a daily laxative.

 

[SBB]

Lisa breastfeeding isn't selfish, and wanting to do it painlessly isn't either. I guess just make sure he has lots of cuddles and comfort on the boob when he's done having it. It won't be very nice but he will be ok

Chell poor Connor is it the formula making him constipated?

X x x

 

[sonyabazonya]
