Does anyone else's kid have trouble latching? It's not that he can't- his latch is fine, but he prefers to put my nipple in and out of his mouth for five minutes before finally latching, screaming with hunger the whole time. I've tried feeding him when he first shows signs of hunger but he does it then too. It's very annoying. Weight gain is good and latch is ok so. Thinking this is a personality thing not an anatomical thing. YES LO has been doing this so much the past few days. It’s so annoying!! It’s like JUST LATCH ALREADY!!

J is taking a nap in the RNP - I really should be doing something around the house since he is finally giving me a nap where I don't have to hold him!
But...I am online and eating junk food.

Baby’s appointment went well other than her being pissed for the shots. She’s sleeping now. Today she’s 6w1d and is 12 lbs and in the 90th percentile for weight height and head. I don’t think DD1 hit 12 lbs until 9 or 10 weeks.
Hoping that she doesn’t have a reaction but I’m keeping an eye on her and have Tylenol ready just in case. Her Ped doesn’t want to see us back until 4 months so we have a good break!

I am sitting on the couch binging ER. DD took a decent nap this morning so I got a ton of work done. With my two older kids in daycare, being home with a newborn feels like a vacation lol.
+1 to the stuffy kid. I am actually really worried about it, DD has had a stuffy nose since birth due to probable meconium aspiration. She was on some steroid drops in the hospital as the frequent suctioning had caused some swelling of her nasal passages. Her stuffiness hasn't really improved and although I try to suction her nose infrequently, when I do suction it there is usually blood present :-( I feel so bad for her. Our two week checkup is tomorrow so I am hoping to get some answers from the doc then and am also hoping it hasn't been interfering too much with her nursing/weight gain.

At what point should I start to worry about little mans poop, or lack thereof? He hasn’t pooped since yesterday evening. He has had plenty of wet diapers. He wasn’t finishing his bottles last night but is eating a little better today. Should I worry that he is probably constipated? ETA: nevermind! He finally pooped. He is so much happier now. 😊

mrsp84, tit for commisseration, I was like that with DD1, and I appear to be heading down that path with DD2 as well. Huge hugs!!!! It is so frustrating when your body can't figure out what it needs to do. I am so thankful today that DD1 is taking a nap. She didn't nap for me yesterday. Today during her nap I finished up my week 5 homework, I made a few phone calls for adult things that I needed to tend to, so I'm pretty happy about that! I have to go finish thawing the chicken for dinner.. I am trying chicken and dumplings in the Instant Pot. Chicken & dumplings is probably one of my favorite meals ever, but it takes forever the way my mom made it and way too many dishes! The only 'adult' thing left to do this week is call the ped back tomorrow afternoon to see if they were able to complete the health form for DD1 so I can stick her in the back up center for a free day off for mommy next week. We really should have it done already anyway so that when DD2 gets here, if those 'freebie' days pop up I can send DD1 in with MH and have a relatively easy day at home!

Similar to dragonflyinn ROUGH one last night. She hasn’t let me put her down for two days now and my longest stretch last night was 1.5 hours with a 2 hour wake up and 3 hours of sleep total broken. This after a perfect ten of a night of down at 20, up 2-2:30, down again until 6:30. Get back there baby. I’m nursed out. Just complaining. H is off tomorrow and I told him to get his arms ready bc she’s all his.

helloerrbody I know you got a ton of responses but we are dealing with some congestion light sporadic coughing and sneezing at 2 weeks. This has been since the moment she was born. Drs assured me not illness but normal newborn congestion that is usually worse with winter babies due to dry air.

I think DS1 did it too.

Had my 38 week visit today. Baby boy is measuring 7 lbs 3 oz which is tiny compared to DS. I’m also 3 cm dilated and he’s low, head down and face down which means I have to pay attention to all of my contractions now. I feel like a complete newbie because I didn’t contract/dilate with DS until my water broke and I dilated to 4.5 in 30 minutes.
And my anxiety is bad because everyday this week at daycare someone has puked after snack time. He was complaining about a stomach ache before bed but said after he went to the bathroom it felt fine. But he mentioned he was afraid he had the bug. I do not need the stomach bug in our house right now.

I think we have a 2 week lull. mrsp84 is overdue I believe so she's likely next and then I think there are quite a few of us at 38w now ( pinkcat, kbw, and me that I can name off the top of my head)...

I mean, I was only sort of kidding about making sure I got all my paid time off.. I certainly would like it but if she arrived after next Wed when I hit 39w I wouldn't complain either. Except that with a completely closed cervix at 38w I am pretty sure I am going to end up having to go the route of induction again.

We had baby’s newborn shoot today and it was pretty rough. He was not wanting to sleep even though he’d been up for almost 2 hours before. Luckily we had 30 minutes or so that we got him conked out and she was able to shoot. Here’s a sneak peek! His face looks so serious lol!

So I nursed DS an hour ago and he is soooo wide awake. I’m exhausyed so I laid him down with his paci in our room & im in bed with the nightlight on playing Disney emoji blitz, waiting for him to hopefully fall asleep.
Also— anyone else’s babies been hoarse at all? I’m hoping it’s from the drainage & all the crying he did last night, not anything serious. Because he has been so hoarse all day. No fever or anything so I really don’t know why.

I’m still around! 39 weeks today. I am trying to remember what my doctor said about the earliest they induce. I got up to pee FIVE times last night, my hips hurt, and everyone keeps telling me he’s going to be a big baby. I’m going to be hinting about it at my appt. tomorrow.

PLEASE let me be next! 40+4 today. Zero change as expected at my appt, however, doc did do a membrane sweep so I’m hoping it kickstarts labor this weekend. After he did it, he said it may not have worked because he couldn’t quite get between the uterus and bag of water like he wanted to. My body/baby is stubborn! I go in on Sunday to be induced if I don’t go on my own before then. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
