It could be absolutely nothing but I'm having a bit of diarrhea this evening. Doc told me to go in if I get contractions 10 min apart (plus a bunch of other things to look out for/come in if I notice) so I feel like I'm going to be on high alert tonight. I had diarrhea the day before and day of baby so FX this means something for you!!

Feel better jessijean! amesie yay for no tears!! Baby and I are each on our fourth outfit of the day. So much spit up. Everything smells like sour milk. Ugh. I’ve been resisting going dairy free, but I think I’m going to have to try and see if it helps. She doesn’t seem overly uncomfortable, but not comfortable either. Edited to add I’m tagging all the wrong people. 🤦🏼♀️

ajetter Ugh, my sympathies. I was dairy free with DD1 for nine months. A huge pain, but worth it once the blood stopped showing up in her diapers. I’m just waiting for the day that happens with this one, since I think it was a couple months in that the problems became obvious.

bassa thankfully we haven’t had bloody stool issues with any of the kiddos. My gut tells me it’s more of an over eating problem than anything, but dairy doesn’t always agree with me so I figure it’s worth a shot. I’m wanting to do a Whole30 soon anyway. But I also like this steady diet of ice cream and carbs I’ve got going on. Eh.

Sorry about the fall sunfrogger. I’d definitely just keep an eye on her movements and call if anything feels out of the ordinary. Also, if you don’t mind me asking how do you get so much leave time. I know we’re due at the same time and I still have 3 weeks left. I don’t mind you asking at all! Parental leave is my hill. My employer is a Fortune 100 financial institution so I work for a very large company. We are rated one of the top 50 for working mom's in the country. (Just to provide context without total triangulation). My STD policy thru work related to maternity gives me : 2 weeks before my due date (2/21- so my disability leave begins 2/7. The first 5 days are funded by "elimination days" aka PTO) 6 weeks after the birth of the baby (with my DD I got "extra" time because there was a positive gap bc she was so late) (this is paid at 5w at 100% of pay and the remainder at 70% of pay) Then, my employer provides : 4 weeks paid parental leave (100%) 22 weeks if I choose to take any portion of unpaid leave (0% but your job is secure to come back to). The paid leave is also available to dad's. MH and I work for the same employer. So he rolled about 5 days of vacation from last year. He'll take 2 weeks of parental plus vacation when she gets here, then he's taking his last 2 weeks when I return to work. I rolled some of last year's vacation days into this year so that I can not go back into work for just a couple days before my disability leave starts. Last time we had saved and I took 6-8 weeks unpaid. This time, we're planning on me only taking a couple weeks of unpaid time. My RTW date unless I win the lottery is 5/14.
