Happy Wednesday! We went to see the lactation consultant today. He’s definitely eating a ton, so no worries there. We chatted about the latching and unlatching issue at night and she thinks it might be because my breast gets too hard and rounded for him to latch properly when he hasn’t eaten in awhile. I seriously have Pam Anderson boobs right now, so that could very well be it. I’m going to try a few minutes of hand expressing or pumping when it’s been a few hours since eating to see if that helps. ( rebeccabunch I think you were asking about that). And a squish pic!  |

Update :
Epi placed.
Within about 10-15 min after being placed, my water broke on its own. And it's clear! Yaaaaay.

Sounds like things are going well, sunfrogger! Glad the Foley was a better experience this time. Hope your epidural keeps you nice and comfortable! |

Sooo many cute babies in this thread! Yay sunfrogger! Good luck! Hi all! Today is so nice. It is my birthday and started with my dad bringing me donuts, my sister coming to take DS on his first outing (Target of course!), and then my mom coming over. Last year at this time we were doing our last IUI before starting IVF, and at my birthday dinner my sister was helping me do Ovidrel shots in my stomach...what a difference a year makes!! 💕 |

Happy Birthday pinkcat!! DD2 did so great with her first day time naps in her own room in the crib. We are going to start the night in there, too. Right now everyone (H, DD1, & DD2) are all sleeping. The house is so peaceful. Don’t worry I’m sure I’ll be in the MOTN thread all night 😂 |

We did another weight check today, she gained .5 ounces, so better than nothing. Have to go back on Friday. DH took DS to the park while I took the baby to the appointment, it was good for him to get some one on one time. Here is DD in a milk coma  And DS at the park  |

Faith has started a mutiny... She has been so fussy the last few days and last night she fussed for about 2 hours after eating at 3 which resulted in me trying to sleep with her on the couch... We woke up around 8:30, she ate again and then we both went right back to sleep until 1:00 this afternoon. She just cries no matter what, holding her up, down, walking, sitting... So frustrating... This afternoon I got some work done by putting her in the k'tan but then she woke up crying again after about an hour. The pediatrician says fussiness peaks at 5-6 weeks and she is 5 weeks today, hopefully this is a short lived stage! Here is a picture from Saturday... She was not impressed with us trying to dress her in real clothes for her 1 month pictures, it didn't help that I didn't realize that the clothes were too small (cries) until they were finally on. *shruggy guy* Even though she is screaming her head off I love this picture, it makes me laugh.  |

DH is back to work tonight so it’s my first evening alone with the baby and toddler. When I say alone, I mean my sister and her wife were both here for two hours helping me wrangle them. Basically the second they left I went straight into “I don’t know how to do this and I’m completely overwhelmed” mode. DH definitely needs to set up a few things tomorrow to make nursing while watching a 20 month old doable.
Both are asleep, so I’m sitting with the newborn on my chest trying to talk myself into attempting the transfer into the bassinet.

Today I had both kids all day and it wasn't too bad! What progress! Joel napped most of the day so that helped, haha. 6 out of 7 days he doesn't nap at all then he does like this and sleeps ALL day. Maybe a growth spurt. Hopefully it doesn't affect tonight.
I hired house cleaners today. Praise the Lord.

H came home at 8 and is still mad at me from yesterday. Blah I wish he would cut me a break sometimes, I am not perfect.
