wow that sounds awful ac!! don't worry hun you will always be their mum and things will go back to normal I promise just try to relax and and get yourself better xx

Sorry I haven't posted... things have been crazy and busy. My mom arrived on the 11th. Things are good now! I've been able to nurse Rose about 3 times a day, so not as much as I was but still something. The rest she is fed formula.
BTW, not meaning to make it sound like I'm bashing formula, I'm just feeling down about the loss of exclusively breastfeeding especially since things were going so well.
My period is late, I'm sure its due to the trauma my body has been through but its still getting on my nerves.


Hope you ladies are well!!

Heyyyy all!

I'm feeling a WHOLE lot better now I'm almost ready to send my mom home My specialist appointment is feb 11th, so I'll know more then on what is going on with me.

I have a bit of a dilemma... My in laws REALLY want my oldest daughter to spend the night with them, they have been wanting it since she was a baby but every time I have been saying no... I mean we see them a lot and like usually spend nights there or they come here, and they're more than welcome to spend the night here too. So I never really saw there was a need for it. Anyways, my DH just out of the blue tells me that they want her to spend the night there next week and he okayed it... yet he didn't even ask me.. and when he mentioned it I said no not yet, I mean I KNOW she is too young, like her comprehension isn't quite there, they don't really live close so if she had a meltdown in the middle of the night its not like they could bring her back home right then either. I just feel like I'm the bad guy for saying no she can't spend the night over there yet.

 

[magicwhisper]

how annoyig of your oh

glad you are starting to feel better though

 

[AC1987]

I finally just gave up and said fine she can spend the night. I'm tired of fighting. I figure worse that will happen is she'll have a meltdown and they can deal with it.

 

[ricschick]

ac glad your feeling better!!!

I can see it from both sides its his parents and he trust them so he feels comfortable with it and you don't but if she knows them well and is happy with them I don't see one night being a problem IMO x I think you would have more of a problem then Cassidy would lol xx

 

[AC1987]

Yeah, I'm sure she'll be fine, I think its more I'm not used to being apart from my kids either. It was even really hard while I was in the hospital being apart.
I did worry a bit about her comprehension if she knew it was just for the night, cause she is young.
But I know she loves them.

 

[AC1987]

Wow this place has been so quiet lately!! How is everyone??

I went to the specialist on the 11th and have to have a colonoscopy tomorrow BLECH!! I'm on an all liquid diet and I'm soooooooo hungry!!!

[ricschick]

[AC1987]

Everything checked out fine.. so it was probably just some bad GI bug that I had.

My mom leaves on the 15th of March...

My vacation plans got messed up so I have no idea when I'll be back to visit family.

 

[ricschick]

that's good news!!

 

[AC1987]

So I'll be going to visit family in May Later than I thought but so far it looks like it'll happen!! Ugh I miss them all SO much!!

How are you ladies??

Rose will be ONE on Friday.... HOW did this happen?! What happened to my tiny newborn??

 

[AC1987]

Ladies?! Where have you all gone to? WHat is new? how is everyone's babies?

My cat had to be put down yesterday... it still isn't quite registering, I've had her for 16 years, she would have been 17 years next month. But she got so sick..

And this past weekend my mom went back home, only to be taken to the hospital once she got there for heart problems I'm stressing about it, I feel so helpless being here!!

 

[hello_kitty]

Hi ladies,

This thread has been super quiet. Guess everyone is busy with their babies lol. Not much going on here. The boys are keeping me busy and I am going back to school again. We will be traveling to Vancouver and Victoria Canada in 2 weeks. Super excited about the trip.

I just got my period back last month and since then has been broody on and off. Its not as bad as the first time though. The first time around, I began ttc as soon as I got my period back at 8 months. This time I can wait another 10 months or so. The reason I feel broody is because I wish to establish breastfeeding again. Both time I always mess up my milk supply. I am still pumping for Jayden and breastfeeding at night but my supply is horrible. Plus less than 3.5 months til he turns 1, thats when I am gonna end breastfeeding and put my pump away and move on to the next stage. My husband is really set on visiting his family in Feb of next year though, so I have to wait til March to ttc again.

Hey ladies long time no chat! My phone hasnt been lettin me on bnb but i think its finally working again for now so here i am! Hope ur all well, sorry to hear about ur cat ashley *hugs*
time sure does fly when u have kids jamie is nearly 10 months! Crawling at top speed and pulling up to stand on everything in sight. Hes so cute but challenging! I struggle to keep him from rolling off the changing mat hes such a pain for it. So strong too! Hope all u mommas are well xx

How is it that our 2nd babies are getting so big too?!

Its insane how fast they grow!!

I'm going crazy with Rose though..
Shes been having diarrhea on and off for 4 weeks now I have NO idea why. When she had only had it for 2 weeks I mentioned it to the pediatrician who didn't seem too concerned, just said to lay off whole milk and try soy in the meantime, so I was getting her onto soy, but then the diarrhea continued, just once a day, and maybe 2 days a week she won't have it.
Then this morning she had a rash on her face, chest and back. I'm so frustrated
So tonight gonna get some soy formula so she'll just be on straight up soy to see if its a milk thing or what. If the diarrhea continues I'll contact the pediatrician.

 

[hello_kitty]

Aww hope she will get better soon Ashley.

Not much to report here. Jayden is becoming a handful. He will not sleep on his own anymore. He'll just stand in his crib and wail until I bring him to bed. So frustrating.

 

[AC1987]

Well I have Rose on straight up soy formula and no diarrhea. I will try her on milk again probably next week, my hubby wanted me to wait a while before trying it again since she had diarrhea for so long.

I know I mentioned up above that my mom was in the hospital, well she was only in for a week then got out, she apparently has to take nitro for her heart.


And May 1st we leave for Canada!! I'm SOOO excited!

bahahah also Cassidy told me that we need another baby.

 

[AC1987]

Bleecchhh I've got baadd period cramps... which is odd seeing as after I had Cassidy they seemed to have gone away for good.
Not sure why all of a sudden I've got them

Hayley had her baby!!! Congrats to her!
