This little baby hates my left boob. I have no idea why. She will never start a feed on that side. She’ll gladly accept my right boob, and take the left for 2nds but will never start on lefty. What gives kid??

I’m laying on my bed in the dark alone & it’s amazing. DH is holding DS & watching some video about a gun show on his laptop at the kitchen table & DD is sitting with him. So I’m just enjoying the peace before someone hollers that they need me or something.

sarahh , those are so precious! It looks like your DD2 is going to have red hair, too! Both girls are adorable. I am here and very uncomfortably pregnant. Had my 38 week appt this morning. Still only 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced. I am fully prepared for this baby to be late. Except the thought of that makes me want to cry. They won’t even schedule an induction for me until after my due date. Whyyyyyyy?!? I know it sucks being uncomfortable, but unless there is a medical reason to induce, the research shows it's better to wait. Hang in there!! I know they won’t induce unless it’s medically necessary. And at this point, I’d rather wait to see if she comes on her own because I was induced with DD1 and ended up being in the hospital for 5 days! I’ll be doing all the things next week to kickstart this party! It’s just nice having an end date to look forward to.

I feel my first PP poop coming on and I’m so scared 😳 T’s and P’s for you. Hopefully you’ve been taking some stool softener to help with the first one.

Twins amesie truly the greatest invention ever. Putting it on, H was like “oh that looks super uncomplicated & easy...” lol. In his best sarcastic voice. And then after a minute I had him in & H was like “oh. That’s cool.” Haha

amesie and dragonflyinn I wasn’t able to use a wrap with my first daughter because she was in a brace for her hips. I got a solly and I’m so awkward trying to wrap it correctly so I’ve given up so far. Hopefully I can figure it out soon while she is still so small. I just got a Tula in the mail yesterday that I’m excited to try since it doesn’t look as complicated.

My midwife recommends inducing at 10 days past due date if all is fine until then but baby still hasn’t come. So it’s definitely not scheduled, but I’m using that as my latest end date.

I don't have a Solly but I have a Boba and the videos on their website were so helpful. (looks pretty much like the same wrap technique) Check there or Youtube!

I was super intimidated by it at first but all I did was watch a YouTube video on how to wrap it and followed it step by step. I had to pause it and rewind a couple times haha. But now that I’ve done it once I think I’ll be fine from here on out. Keep trying! It’s amazing. The Tula is also another love of mine so I also support that too

Hi all! Everything hurts and I'm dying. We took DD1 for a walk today w my dad and it was short and I'm pretty sure that was torture. I swear, my husband is trying to send me into labor early. This baby is really hurting my ribs, my ribs hurt on both sides and I know she's head down. What gives!!!! sarahh i love all the pics!! also today was DD1's first full day in big girl panties and she did GREAT! we did a pull up at naps because i'll tackle naps/night while i'm on leave but.. I am SO happy. moar squish pics please!!! finally.. i am not a stretch wrap kind of person. my boba aggrevated the hell out of me. i have a ktan which is fine but i so prefer my lillebaby. and i'm so excited that i have an embossed to try with this little lady, the inside feels so nice and soft!! i'm excited to try the ring sling too. while i do not want to go super early and have to worry about nicu and health and losing some paid leave.. i'd love for it to be like.. feb 20th. please. i am so over this pregnant thing.

So with DD1 I used a feeding/diaper tracking app but I swore off it with DD2 because it made me a little obsessive and nutso. Welllll, the app is back because I just could not for the life of me remember when I had last fed this kid or changed her diaper. It gives me push notifications to do both of those things and I love it again 😂😂 MOTY right here. Third child probz, right?!

My dad and sister took DS for a hike today and I got so much organizing done! The upstairs is all set and DH and I can tackle the downstairs little by little. I did zero vacuuming and scrubbing because we have cleaners coming on Thursday (gift from my parents). So I could focus on all those little tasks that never end up getting done, like organizing the bathroom cabinets.
I just bough more shampoo, conditioner, and face wash because we are “out”. Turns out I had four of each shoved into the back of the cabinets under the sink. Clearly I need to keep track of my hoarding a bit better. But I guess I won’t be spending more money on that for a long time!

Please let that be the case here too, although I'm pretty sure I could feel her head up high at the time. DH did some moxibustion on me (sounds kinky, eh?) and I could feel her start to roll around. It is crazy, I don't know if it's in my head or for real but I swear her movement during the technique feels different. More smooth, rolling type moves instead of pushing/kicking type. And now it smells like incense in the house! Too strong for my pregnant nose right now but we'll have to air it out tomorrow b/c it is pretty cold out right now.

We are home from the hospital!!!!
Lat night we had to start using some formula (20 mls per feeding) because she had lost 10% of her body weight and my milk hasn't come in yet. I cried all night because after getting formula all night she wouldn't nurse right after because it was too much work. I pumped several times to try to keep the demand up so my milk comes in. But the formula is what she needs to help with her weight and low levels of jaundice (no light treatments but we have to take her for blood work tomorrow to double check levels).
Being home is amazing. So much more comfortable, quiet and less stressful!!! We have all napped and eaten and had a few visitors and no nurses, vital checks, announcements and random hospital employees barging in. I'm a little nervous about tonight and having her in our room with all of her grunts, squeeks and breathing (she is a noisy little squish) but I'm sure we will adjust.
All of her feedings here at home were formula followed by nursing so I don't feel replaced anymore and I'm almost positive my milk is starting to come in. My boobs are feeling warm and my right breast is a little achy and I have a "knot" which I'm pretty sure is a milk duct that is filling up. I'm hoping we can stop the formula in a day or two...

Ugh just finished crying ugly tears. I've been following a story on a local 7.5 month old who came down with meningitis (I believe?). He passed away today and I'm just heartbroken for his parents.

We are supplementing with formula as well because of low supply and he lost 12% of his birth weight. But I do the breastfeeding first and then formula so he isn’t too tired to take the breast. Is that an option for you? He’s still hungry when the bottle comes out and it’s a lot easier for him to down it. He’s over a week old and my milk still hasn’t fully come in. I might always be low supply, no way of knowing yet. So we will continue to do both breastfeeding and formula for now. Fed is best, right? Don’t beat yourself up if you have to do formula for longer than you had hoped.

MH went to get breakfast for us. Then he told me I can go back to bed after he starts the laundry. Apparently I won the husband lottery this morning. After my extra sleep, I am going to the grocery store. 😊
