Shit, shit, shit... DH is showing most symptoms of influenza. Obviously everyone except the newborn had the flu shot but I know it's worthless this year. I hope it's something else bacterial/treatable. I have never seen him this sick. It seemed like a cold over the weekend but overnight he developed a fever and feels worse. I’m so sorry. Sounds exactly like how the flu started for MH a few weeks ago.

It’s craxy how different DS is now compared to his first week of life. He is having soooo much more awake time lately. Like 1-2 hours at a time. 😳 I’m like just go to sleep lol. Thankfully he isn’t like DD who refused to be put down unless she was fast asleep. He’s just chillin in the bouncy seat checking out the room haha.
On the other hand, DD is not napping well at allllll.

I had one really bad day of engorgement too and thought it was going to stick around longer but with lots of feeding and cold/hot packs it was much better the next day, and definitely straightened out now! Hopefully you’re feeling better soon amesie!

peachesncream you can do it! You know you have baby brain when you pull out a load of wet laundry to see if your phone is in there. 😳Nope it wasn’t thankfully! I’m been having BH this afternoon and wish they would either go away or turn into something!

Anddddd DH tested positive for Influenza B. They are putting the baby on tamiflu for preventative measures and was on the lookout for symptoms for the rest of us. I'm terrified at the idea of my newborn contracting the flu.

If someone asks me one more time today how I feel.... Girrrrl, you know how I feel about this. I left work early today because out of nowhere, we’re supposed to get 6-10” of snow throughout the day. Sitting in traffic during my evening commute did not sound like fun considering it took me 2 hours to get to work this morning. I should have worked from home. The second I walked in the door at work, everyone was all “whyyyy are you here?” “How are you feeling?” “When is that baby coming?” So I was glad to leave early today because it seemed like no one wanted me there 🤷🏼♀️

But this week it seemed like I had SO many more people say something about it! Omg.

I'm terrified at the idea of my newborn contracting the flu. I'm so sorry. I would ask your doctor for Tamiflu for you also. All of our doctors put all of us on it when DH had the flu. We stayed healthy so I have hope y'all will, too! Keep him majorly quarantined if you can and use Clorox wipes behind him/on everything/anything. I'm not usually a bleach fan, but I went Clorox for this and it worked. ETA I also made him wear a mask if he left the room he was quarantined to and gloves.

Oh no jessijean, I’m glad there’s preventative measures you can take for baby and I hope it works. Hope your H is feeling better soon.

jessijean Oh no, I’m so sorry! Hopefully he recovers quickly and no one else in your house gets it. amesie Others have said this, but just adding that I too had uncomfortable engorgement a few days in. Lots of massaging, and it cleared up in a day. Much easier than the early days with DD1! So today I took DD1 and baby E to DD1’s gym class. It was our first big outing together. I was nervous, but we survived! Baby stayed in her car seat away from everyone, so I’m hoping we avoided germy contamination. I used a lot of hand sanitizer. But at least we got out and I got to socialize a bit. 😀

Hello! I keep trying to post and then something comes up and then I feel behind so I’m just going to go for it. Got home on Saturday. Things have been going well except I’m also dealing with boob issues amesie. Not full rock hard engorgement but super inflamed, super tender on the sides, and I’m clog prone and worried about. Boys have been so sweet to the baby. I’m enjoying these snuggles differently than w my boys and not rushing around and over thinking things. It’s been nice. Lots of nursing and snuggling watching Victoria. No jealousy yet from DS2 which I was expecting. DS1 has been a super helper and decided he wants to be a mommy when he grows up. I want to post my birth story but have been waiting on the hospital professional pictures we ended up buying bc I know I won’t get it together to schedule a photographer to come to our home. Maybe I’ll post it and pic update later.

I really wish I didn’t have any responsibilities outside of feeding the baby. I just want to snuggle and nurse and nap. But the rest of my kids keep needing things and I’m almost out of clean laundry. Whhhyyyyyy.

OMG. Pregnancy brain on overdrive. I stopped to visit a friend this afternoon (she had twins 10 days ago!) and she was like, oh I have something to show you. Go look at your thank you card that you sent. I had intended to write her a thank you card after my shower and I opened the card and saw "Kat, Tha...." THAT IS ALL IT SAID. I put that in an envelope, addressed it, stamped it and sent it. I couldn't stop laughing.
No plan yet for our baby. I cried and lost my shit on the doc I was seeing today at the office. They are continuing to let me down in the same ways they have during this whole pregnancy, which is BS. I won't go into details b/c I don't want to get all fired up again right now. Basically just crappy communication and inconsistency.

Blahhhh. I’m awake & don’t want to be. DS nursed at 7 so he will be hungry again around 10-10:30 so it’s not worth it for me to go to bed now only to wake up in an hour. At least he is asleep in the PNP and not my lap haha. Im watching the new episode of Home Town on hgtv. Also DD has been really tough for nap & bedtime lately. Not sure why but she wakes up crying & constantly asking us to come in & im not sure what the deal is.

I’m having wine for the first time tonight. I should stop drinking it and go to bed until she wakes up (which could be 5 minutes or 2 hours) but... it tastes so good now!

jessijean my H got flu B last March while I was pregnant with a different pregnancy. We also didn’t know for a day after he’d been sick but we quarantined him and I didn’t allow him out of the guest room unless he sanitized first and he used a bathroom no one else used. It was a lot of work but worth it when no one else got it. I like helloerrbody ‘s mask and glove idea. Keep in mind that he is contagious 7 days after symptoms start. It was tempting to let my H back into the fold when he was improving but I held strong. Good luck!
