Is anyone watching life in pieces? H and I just started season 1 on Netflix and we are dying laughing. It's so so so relatable! Especially this couple with a newborn. I just started it this week, and I'm on season 2! It is so good, I can't believe that I hadn't watched it before. Adding this to our watchlist!!

hi! I'm now 5 days overdue and annoyed. Physically, I don't mind being late--but my MIL is only here until Sunday to watch kiddo, so if I go later than that we're kinda screwed on childcare for when I go in the hospital. Oh well, we'll figure something out, but it's still annoying.
I had an NST and BPP today, and everything looks fine; they could see that I was having regular contractions every 2 minutes (not that they are helping with anything). They said I could go the full 42 weeks if I have to (please god no). Appointment with my midwives on Monday, so we'll see if they mention induction or not. They don't do internal checks, so I have no idea if I'm dilated/effaced at all (probably not--I was 8 days over due with kiddo, and when I went into labor, I was barely dilated.)

After taking three fabulous naps today, baby woke up to eat at 7:15pm, immediately passed back out on my chest and slept another two hours. I’m reeeally hoping the whole sleep begets sleep thing is true.
Also we’re on sleeper number five now. She peed everywhere while DH was changing her diaper. 🤦🏼♀️

We didn’t take her in— her doctors office here won’t even make appointments right now for kids if their parents think it’s flu. They’re just advising all the at-home care & emergency room if it got really bad. DD had all the symptoms and so far it has followed the timeline of the flu progression. Sweet girl fought it off well though & has been fever free all day! It’s been a long week lol. How's the baby? He is great so far. We’ve been keeping him in our room pretty much 24-7 when DD is awake & she isn’t allowed in there (I know germs travel anyway but I think that has helped). He has been such a sweetie since I’ve basically been nursing him & setting him in his bouncy seat until he naps & gets hungry again. We snuggle at night after DD is in bed haha.

We are still on the breastfeeding struggle bus too mrsp84. Well he seems fine but I'm in a lot of pain. Today I'm thinking it might be thrush and I'm trying to treat it topically. I have an ibclc coming to the house on Monday so if it's not thrush I just need to make it til then. I keep telling myself just to push through until then. Are you getting the tongue tie clipped? I called 3 lactation consultants on Thursday and none could see me until Tuesday. DD2 has been cluster feeding like crazy and I cannot pump enough to even keep up with what she needs. In one feeding early this morning, she had 6oz! It wasn’t all at once, but over the course of about an hour. I go back and forth about getting her tongue tie clipped. DD1 had hers clipped and it did nothing. She was already hooked on bottles and was not at all interested in the breast. I offer the breast every other feed or so to see if DD2 will latch better, but we haven’t had any luck. And pumping is so exhausting.

I hope you figure out something that works for you guys. Anecdotally, a friend of mine had her tongue tie clipped as an adult and said it was the worst pain she'd ever experienced. It was interfering with her eating so that's why she had it done. Maybe a pediatrician or ENT could anticipate if that would be a problem in the future to help you decide.

I actually still have a tongue tie. I never got mine clipped because my mom never breastfed and it was probably never really thought to be a problem back in the 80’s. But, you definitely give me something to think about in case DD2’s becomes an issue as she gets older. It wouldn’t hurt to get an opinion from the ENT. I know when I took DD1 in to get her tongue tie clipped, it was literally 2 seconds and then over. So if anything, it might be worth it just to do even if we decide to forgo the breastfeeding.

benandjerrys, when DD had thrush years ago she hated to swallow the nystatin too. The pediatrician encouraged us to dip a Q-tip in nystatin and rub her gums. Then I would get another Q-tip and rub her tongue (toward the back, but not far enough for a gag reflex). Applying that stuff four times a day about drove me bonkers.
