TTC and Beyond!

[TTCaWee1]

I just broke down and cried for the first time since being home from the hospital because Ellie has cried alllllllll day long. I know she was uncomfortable bc she was constipated. She was so gassy too and hasn't really slept all day. She finally pooped and it filled her diaper with thick (sorry) poo. Poor baby. I thought she'd feel better after but she just cried and cried until she finally fell asleep. I have literally held her all day long. Haven't even showered....DH is at work tonight too. I hope she's out for the night and wakes up happy with a clean colon in the morning.

Awe Rachel- deep breathes mama!! That really is the worst feeling when you know they're hurting and inconsolable Poor baby girl, I hope she feels better in the morning!

Ashlee- that decal is ridiculously cute!!

DH plays softball a couple nights a week and before I got Preggo I vowed that for every night he went out and had "fun" I would have a night off too. He went to softball last night for 4 hours, so tonight I came to my moms, drank some wine and ate Doritos on the couch. Peace and quiet, mommy time.

Rachel- so sry. Alia has those days. And having dh to help is key. Hope she sleeps well. IV learned over tired babies are the hardest to work with!

 

[goldstns]

Daycare told me Alia rolled over al by herself when napping yesterday!!

 

[brunettebimbo]

Sorry Rachel Those days are tough!

Nikki how exciting!

AFM - Finally got crosshairs although FF has given me dashed ones?

 

[frsttimemama]

Yay for poop Rachel! Sorry you had a rough day. Hope ladt night got better!

Glad you got xhairs BB!

Aww how exciting Nikki! Hope she slept better.

I am completely and utterly exhausted. I'm to the point where I can cry at the drop of a hat. Ugh. This week needs to get over.. but I have a 13 hour day ahead of me.

Baby belly 18+5.. now granted I was a bit of a chub beforehand, but I think my belly popped. And my new favorite thing is honey roasted cashews. YUMMMM!

 

[Disneybaby26]

Adorable bump Sandy!! Honey roasted cashews sound amazzzzing!!

Has anyone tried "club" diaper brands? Kirkland from costco or berkley and Jensen from bjs? Thinking about giving them a try!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Adorable Sandy!
Rachel sorry!
Nikki that's awesome news.
Afm feeling slightly better today. I have a bridal shower this weekend then we are going out with bil and his gf so that's something to look forward too.

 

[frsttimemama]

Thanks! I got a little bag last night.. I need a big container! Lol.

I've considered trying Sam's Club brand but I'm nervous to.

 

[frsttimemama]

Katrina that sounds fun! We are going garage saling Saturday morning and otherwise, IDK. Glad you feel better!

 

[goldstns]

We use Kirkland wipes. We use pampers swaddle diapers cuz we love the yellow to blue pee line. We order from amazon ... Found it to be cheapest and we have free shipping cuz of prime. Cheaper then Costco even

 

[goldstns]

But to be honest 70% of the time she's in cloth

 

[Ingodshand]

Rachel- so sorry you had a rough day. It can be so hard but hopefully she is feeling better today!

Kara- so jealous of your night out! I am really trying to breastfeed so a night away well not happen yet! Cannot wait though!

Sandy- i would say you have popped!! So cute! When do you find out the gender?

Bb- yay for crosshairs!!

Nikki- i m taking mother's milk plus. It has fenugreek and other herbs. I think it works great and does not affect Evan at all. It is a liquid too.
Afm- just got done another marathon nursing session and about to get in the shower. I an really glad that i have made it this far with bf but it is so hard. I thought it would be easier since it is my second time but my nipples are just on fire! At least i am able to keep up my supply which i could not with Alyssa.

 

[Disneybaby26]

Lol me too, Sandy!!

Also, anyone have a side sleeper? Miss Kay refuses to swaddle and definitely prefers her side. She does her back fine at nighttime and I know that's best but wants to be on her die for naps. Thoughts? We've got a personality coming through over here!!

 

[Disneybaby26]

I was just checking out amazon, Rachel, you're right!! Thank you!!

 

[frsttimemama]

Thanks Sarah Our anatomy scan is next Friday. Can't wait to see him/her again. Everyone says girl except my sister-in-law so we will see. I'm thinking boy. Sorry you are having a tough time! I can't imagine flaming nipples.. yikes! Would love more pictures when you can!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Sandy - Yay!! What a cute bump!

Rachel - Sorry you had a tough day..

I obviously have no experience with diapers yet, but my daycare lady said she LOVES the target brand. We got a bunch of different kinds at the baby shower, so I guess we'll see what we like.

afm- I can offically say my due date is NEXT MONTH!!! Here's to hoping this girl comes right around her due date. I really don't want to go over into July.. but I have been prediciting a 4th of July baby for awhile.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Kara have you tried a swaddle sack or leaving her arms out? I sometimes lay Ellie down on her side and she will sleep that way during a nap. But haven't used a wedge or side sleeper. Oh and I've only used pampers and huggies. Can't stand pampers. Neither can Ellie. They get too mushy. Heard target brand is good too. I buy from target bc they usually give you a gift card if you buy 2 boxes. And I print the $3 coupons so I get another $6 off. I just bought some and it averaged to be $29 for 2 big boxes of huggies

 

[frsttimemama]

I may have to take advantage of that deal and start stocking up!
