How do you all shower during the day with your older LOs? I'm struggling bc mine likes to shower with me and get into everything. H works from home, so he’s usually around while I shower and DD1 plays in her room or all around the 2nd floor. But if he’s gone and I want her to stay close, I pull out one of the baskets of various mini lotion bottles from the bathroom closet, and she’ll sit on the floor playing with it for the majority of the 5 minutes I’m showering. I also don’t trust her with the baby though, so at this point I just wait till H is around. He has some work trips coming up, I guess i’ll have to figure out other solutions.

rebeccabunch I got my little silicone pump and got 1.5 ounces on the opposite side just now. Not bad for minimal effort. DH is still feeling nauseous. So far the rest of us seem ok but I'm nervous.

G is napping but she isn’t napping well. She has been asleep for less than an hour and has woken up briefly twice. Poor thing.

Operation drowsy but awake is a fail today. Operation 45-60min awake time is also a fail. But I'm watching teen Mom and snuggling a sleeping baby who passed out on the boob. So I'm enjoying that.
I did preschool pickup today with the baby while h went to the gym. It wasn't a total disaster. I wish our school had the drop-off pick-up line but we have to go in.

I really had to fight DD1 to take a nap today. Ugh. I hate days like this!
While she's napping I'm going to do some crafts. Tonight I'll do homework. I'd like to sneak a shower in too but not right now since she just fell asleep..

Nice! That’s why I liked it, I really didn’t hv to do much and I could get 2-3 oz a feed that I used it. I’m glad I used it a lot a week ago bc H has been feeding her a little 2 oz bottle once a day when I hv a cant handle it moment each night. If you ever do it overnight or first morning feed you will probably get even more.

DD has been in her room “napping” since 11:30 (its almost 2 now). She came out a few times to go potty but I haven’t seen or heard her since probably 12:30. I really hope she sleeps at least another hour. DH is on his way home with bread & applesauce so we will have some good snacks for her when she wakes up!
DS is napping on my chest right now while we watch the olympics and I have to pee sooo bad but he is so snuggly I don’t want to get up! Also I forgot to say this yesterday but o stood on my scale with him and I think he is pushing 12 lbs haha. Our “scale method” was pretty accurate with his weight check at 2 weeks so I will believe what it says now. Biiiig boy.

DD2 went to hang out with my dad. DD3 asked to take a nap at noon and she usually doesn’t nap until 1:00 either. And now I’m sitting next to my non automatic RnP rocking it. I should have just bought the damn automated one, but I won’t on principal now.
Does the haaka or whatever one you have, or rather can you use it on the opposite boob and then still nurse off that one? I want to start building a little freezer stash. But I’ve been too lazy to pump. And I don’t want to put in too much effort because DD3 never would take a bottle. Like would hold out 8+ hours if she didn’t get a boob.

I hoped that the novelty of seeing me at work would wear off after Monday. Nope. I’ve moved to snarky remarks, “still here?” “So I keep hearing!” And next up I’m just going to start throwing pencil erasers at people. Not being an ass to DH is also a full time challenge. This baby needs to show up so I can move from “very pregnant and bitchy” on to “lack of sleep bitchy.”

You just reminded me I need to sterilize my pump parts and try to pump this week. H and I have a date Friday night and I want a bottle for MIL just in case the timing isn’t right with DS’ nursing.

Mine often nursing just one side at a session but he wanted the second side after I did the haaka thing and he seemed satisfied. He definitely got milk. It definitely doesn't pump to empty

Those with the auto RNP...is the motor really loud on yours? Goodness. We are borrowing one and I plugged it in for the first time last night, MOTN. Is that the norm with them?

Our daycare is making me feel like a JV team parent. She used a nose frida on him this morning and showed me how much she got + told me how much faster he drank his bottle after. I feel horrible. Then she sent me a pic of him swaddled sleeping flat on his back. He has not slept on his back for us since the hospital. Of course I'm trying it now and it worked at home too. Parent fail.

Anyone else get weird itchy spots/random rashes after delivery? I don't know if it's from the epi or it is hormones or what! The top of my back has been crazy itchy since delivery. Same thing happened after I had G. It’s drives me batty. I think it’s finally starting to calm down and not be as bad as it was. I get a itchy upper back during pregnancy and the first few months after delivery. So weird that others get this too. DH bought me a back scratcher when I was pregnant with DD1 and when I was at work I’d use a ruler.

We just got back to our rental and left this morning at 7:30. We walked 9 miles and I can barely stand. During our Capitol this happened which was fun. He guessed that DD2 was 2 months which isn’t too far off!

I'm 2.5 weeks PP but still have a pulling feeling from my stitches occasionally and yesterday one was bleeding. I'm afraid to look- my vagina's fine, right?

Mine is really quiet but it’s the newest model. I had read before that they were loud so I’m thinking they improved that maybe...?

I shower when DS1 naps or I let him watch Music videos on the iPad in the bathroom. Or in the evening when DH is with DS1.

Mine still stretch and occasionally bleed still and I'm nearly 7 wks pp. My OB said I look fine just healing a bit slower. I'm sure at 2.5 it's completely normal.
