God bless Honey!

It's so frustrating trying to keep her latched on. Yesterday was pretty good and that should have been harder. I keep trying but she's fighting me and gets mad at me. Another lactation consultant should be here again today. I know all the answers I just can't seem to get them applied to us. Ill just have to keep at it until we get it right should be easier when my milk comes in soon I hope.

Hope all the new babies are doing well for you all and every ones recovery is fast.

Corbyn fights me and screams so i give him a drop of ebm then put him to the breast x

Hopefully the consultant will help x
 
Holy crap, congratulation Saphire! :hugs: That's so awesome!

Wonder how Junebugs is doing??? :)

Congrats honey and good luck today!

I have my 6 week PP visit today and I want to die. Aria cluster-fed from 7pm-9pm, took a short break then did again from 11-3. I was so sore and felt so dried up that right around 3 I gave her EBM and she took 1.5 oz of it! Then I tried to bring her to bed and she lasted a half hour before she whimpered and I began to cry because I had already thrown up once and was feeling so shaky and weak. OH took her and changed her and apparently fed her another ounce and brought her back to bed, where she decided she needed to nurse from me and screamed bloody murder until I woke up and fed her. :headspin:

So yeah, I'm pretty :loopy: at the moment. Need to force myself to nap this afternoon so I can be better prepared for another crazy night, if she chooses to have one like that again. FX she doesn't, but still, better safe than sorry!

And I owe OH big time, he had to work today and still got up and took care of her for me so I could pass out. :| I feel so guilty because I try so hard to not wake him or have him wake up when he has to work. At least he only works 1 of his 2 jobs today.

/rant.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Anyone doing anything special????? Besides Honey, who's obviously having her baby! :rofl:

Then she conked out until 8:30 and I woke up with two stiff, sore and painful boobs.
 
Oh, wow, congrats to saphire, becstar, elli... did I miss anyone??
It's a baby boom in here!!! I mean, I guess I knew that would happen... it's February, after all... :dohh:
But WOW, they're coming so quickly now!!
And at least one more by the end of the day!! Good luck honey!

I'm sorry you had such a rough night! We've had a number of them, too! At least I know it's "normal"!!!

No plans here. John's commander and first sergeant are in town so he's at work and who knows when he'll be home. Why they chose Valentine's Day to come visit their office I'll never know. Ah well!!
 
Congrats to all you new mommies.. :) 38 week checkup for me tomorrow.. :) Hope for some more news..
 
No plans here!! Just a night in with the family. :)

Appointment went well! I am cleared to do everything so I'm hoping to go riding this weekend. Just need to make sure hubby will be around and that someone will be at the barn. :happydance: FX!!

Major engorgement issues happening again. Oversupply due to her crazy growth spurts? Maybe. Idk. It hurts. :(

Haha you're definitely not alone JP!!! I think it's about 50/50 lately how nights go :rofl:

Hope the LC helped, Saphire!
 
Congrats Saphire and Becstar!

Tiggertea - My due date was 11th and he arrived on 13th

So today Josh was readmitted to hospital after we went home last night :(

Although he seemed to feed well yesterday he just wouldn't feed overnight and his blood sugar went so low we couldn't keep him awake. I don't really understand why it happened...everytime I offered him a feed he either wouldn't take it at all or he latched on and fell asleep.

The first mw we saw at the hospital was a complete cow and everything we said was wrong. She made me feel like all of this was our fault. :'(

Since we got here he has had formula and some glucose and his blood sugar has recovered but we'll definitely be here at least tonight until he's feeding better.

Most of the staff we've seen have been really good but earlier they wanted to put a tube into josh because he wouldn't take more milk after they'd fed him 40ml only an hour before! Fortunately a bf specialist intervened before they could do it and argued with the doctor.

Feeling really down and stressed right now. It's great to have you guys here to listen!
