MLK weekend randoms

Chunky boy! Sa.muel Jos.hua.

I can post a longer story later but basically he is huge & the epi was great until he started to engage & I felt every second of the pressure. They let me labor for awhile even though I probably could have pushed sooner— I’m glad I waited bc he was out in 2-3 pushes & barely any tearing. We got an Hour of uninterrupted skin to skin & he latched like a champ! Even with epi I was up walking in a few hours & feeling great. DD is coming to meet him in a few hours! ❤️

Also he is a SLEEPY boy. He nursed an hour his first time & slept for ages after.

Guys. I've fed E 7 times since midnight!!! He's a hungry little guy. I'm sooo tired. I also gotten projectile peed and pooped on. Pretty explosive Saturday night!

So mh is doing breakfast.. DD insisted she wanted pancakes. I'm really loving the quiet time.

My accounting book is an actual hard cover book and I'm not happy. It's so much easier when they're ebooks. I could have got the ebook for $100.. But why when the hard copy is $17.

Wow! Good luck dragonflyinn!! Thinking of you!

I'm also hoping this quick labor stuff rubs off on me. I would like to go med free but my pain tolerance is pretty low so we will see.

I typically have a low pain tolerance (I think...?) but labor is different for me because it’s pain with a purpose and I’m prepared for it - if that makes sense.

dragonflyinn congrats girl, he’s adorable! 😍

Ok worst part about this being over— when I had my epi I couldn’t feel the ridiculous bug bites on my feet. Now that it’s all worn off I’m itching like crazy lol

I guess I am old school, I prefer an actual book. Reading a screen hurts my eyes quickly but I could read a book all day!

It was like that here from 11 to 2. He just kept wanting to nurse. Much tired.

So many babies so far! 
Anyone else having one today?!

We're waiting on DH, he went out to get some bagels. E and I are starving! We may have had a couple of cookies to hold us over. 
I am going to the store today and I also want to pick up a couple more things for the nursery to get that set up.
Hopefully we hear back from my BIL to see if they have our crib hardware or if not, DH can go to the hardware store in town and get them to help him figure out what he might need! I'm ready to get organized in there.

bassa that’s so exciting!!! I am scared of not getting an epidural this time bc it was really quick last time (I did get one) and they told me to be ready for a quick labor this time. I am not ready at all for an epi-free delivery lol

I told H that if he ever convinces me to have a third child, I will literally camp outside the hospital at the first contraction. Like, screw the whole “labor at home to be more comfortable” thing. #pleaseneveragain 😬

I remember thinking I was going to wait until I “really” needed an epidural because the nurse who ran the childbirth classes said it was nice to be able to walk around, go to the bathroom, etc.
I did labor at home for awhile, so they offered an epidural right away and I could have cared less about where, when, and how I was peeing. Just numb me please!

By hardware do you mean screws and stuff? I’d contact the manufacturer and see if you can order a new set or they can send you the screw type or something and you can go to Home Depot.

Congrats bassa and dragonflyinn! What an exciting weekend over here!

[dragonflyinn]

I just took a shower & it was amazing. This baby sleeps so hard lol DD was much more alert & awake than he is!

[jessijean]

DH's work Christmas party was last night. I LOVE his co-workers and their spouses. I somehow fit into a pair of prepregnancy dress pants (usually very loose) and I feel I looked great for being 2 weeks postpartum. And... wine! I asked her for a white Russian and I got kaluha & Pepsi???? I decided to stick with wine after that, hard to screw that up.

I took it slow enough that I didn't have to pump and dump! Win!

[hiimjamie]

dragonflyinn congratulations! He’s so handsome!

[watermelonseed]

Congratulations dragonflyinn!!!!

[dragonflyinn]

Also— this is SO different the second time around. I remember feeling so self conscious about how I still looked pregnant, unsure about nursing, etc. It’s all so chill now!

So I usually am but for textbooks I really prefer the ease of the eBook! In general though ebooks have been winning me over. But I do love to sit down with a hard copy and go wild. 😉
