Lucy ![]() AFM: struggling also a bit. DH is adamant about this being the last baby bc of my health and I am devastated. If it was bc I just couldn't get pregnant (bc I am older) that's one thing, but having the choice forced on me....plus this birth was SO empowering, I just can't imagine.....anyway.... I am also having ovary pain? I thought it was my abs, but it's equal on each side, when I lay down or try to get up (but not every time) and last night I almost threw up from the pain. It's not a pain I can really describe though. ![]() Advertisement

Damian is a week today! I am also struggling with the fact this is probably our last baby. It was such an amazing birth I would love to experience it again. Maybe in a fee years we will be better off financially and DH will be willing to talk about it again.
I've also been feeling off. I'm seeing my midwife today. I've been running a fever of 99.8 for the last 3 days. With chills and fatigue. My two older kids have been at grandmas since after he was born last week. It's been nice but I miss them so much! They'll be home today and I can't wait to see them.

Re: Junebugs chat June 24-30th
It sounds we needs
![]() AFM...I've hit that part of the end where I'm not able to hold back to smart alek comments at work when people say stupid things, like "when are you going to have that kid?", "you're stiiiil/still/STILL here?!", "no baby yet?"....Gah!! Yesterday I actually responded to someone; "nope, had it, dropped it at daycare, and came in anyway because I love it here so much, (pointing to belly) this is all juse residual fat". Normally I'm not ever so snarky, but seriously.....

Other than our breastfeeding struggles everything is going really well. Milo (our nickname for him) loves to be held. It makes sleeping difficult because I'm way too panicky to try co-sleeping, but at the same time I love that he is such a cuddly baby. I feel bad for SO; he's doing so great for his first time. He's been super helpful with everything, and he's getting better everyday. But I'm so short with him sometimes.. He's having a hard time not getting the sleep he was use to. Since he's the one working, and we're trying to work it out so I can stay home because we don't want to do daycare I try to let him sleep as much as possible. But he just can't seem to function as well as I can, and he's getting double if not triple the amount of sleep I am. I know he's trying so hard, but I can't help but get irritated. :/ Sorry had to vent about that.. Sending positive vibes to all those mamas still waiting on their los.. Hopefully soon! |

Ah, I'm in the same boat with dh... I get so angry at him. I ask him to hold the baby while I go to the bathroom or something, come back and the baby is dangling off his belly as dh snores away. He can't do one simple thing to help me out without falling asleep when his sleep has hardly been cut into at all. I'm the one awake with the baby for 45+ minutes nursing every hour and a half to two hours. I'm the one awake another 30 minutes to pump after that. I'm the one changing every diaper because he won't wake up to do it. I'm the one snuggling baby back to sleep because dh can't manage it.

Thanks for all the support on breastfeeding everyone. Our consultant went so well today. He latched right on, once I had the right size nipple shield. We had to entice him a bit by putting some formula on the nipple shield to get him to stay on. He was getting frustrated that nothing was coming out right away. I'm thinking because he's getting use to a bottle. I also found out that I qualify for a free medela pump today from the state. I am beyond excited. I was trying to pump as much as I could with the crappy little pump I had, but I just wasn't emptying my breast completely and it took forever! I'm suppose to pump an extra 2 to 4 times a day on top of his feedings to help get my supply back up and having this pump is doing the trick. I got a whole extra oz that what I was before in 15 minutes compared to 25 minutes on each side! |
