I am impressed by you people wanting to work out already. I had my baby first and I only just started feeling like myself again last week. I want to start going on walks just to start slowly doing things but the weather hates me so that has yet to happen.
I don't know how to say this without sounding braggy, lol... But I am at least back to my pre-pregnancy weight. That's exciting except for I am super overweight as it is. I didn't gain very much during my whole pregnancy and then started rapidly gaining in my last few weeks. Which now I know was all water retention and preeclampsia related... So the fluid loss in the first week PP was pretty impressive.

leatherpants I can't stop eating either! I swore to my H I would help him lose weight as soon as I had the baby. Instead last night I got cake and tonight I want to order burgers. I'm the worst. But I'm all fairness, I usually eat pretty much whatever I want and just work out insanely to make up for it. My H would rather eat like nothing and not work out so it's hard for us to be on the same page. We were just having that discussion the other day. My bff is your husband. I donβt understand that life. Give me food.

I'm antsy to work out, like mentally it's driving me insane to just sit around all day. But I also worked out until the end of my pregnancy. I was lifting 2 days before my due date and now WHAM nothing. It's hard. I'm still bleeding though so I know I can't do much besides walking just yet.
And I haven't even been able to do that. Ughhhhhh.

Whew. L is having a rough couple days. He finally just pooped for the first time in 3 days. Heβs been super sleepy during the day and really difficult to wake for feedings. Like Iβve tried everything... diaper change, wet washcloth, stripping him down. Heβll wake up crying and then fall right back asleep after only a couple minutes of nursing. Heβs been sleeping most of the afternoon and evening the past few days. Google tells me this could be a growth spurt, but he didnβt really have the frequent nursing before all this sleeping. In fact, heβs been nursing for less minutes overall the past week. I thought maybe he was getting more efficient, but now I donβt know. Itβs making me sort of worried.

Painting baseboards is how I die. Or maybe itβs my MIL showing up for the second night in a row. I am seriously impressed you are doing that while pregnant. It nearly kills me when not pregnant and I canβt imagine attempting it at the moment. I might not be able to walk tomorrow. But I am about 80% faster at painting than MH and FIL combined so I am really hitting it hard to get this shit done. We are so close, then we just need to move the stuff in. Then I can go into labor and not be stressed the fuck out π

I would be a bit worried too. Iβm sure itβs nothing in the end but I think itβs worth a call.

I made the mistake of googling βmucus plug to labor startβ. Why would people post pictures of that online?! Canβt google at least make images not be the first return for gross stuff?
I never saw mine with DD but Iβm pretty sure that I just lost it. Hork. I had a dream a few nights ago that Inloat it but it looked like a clear, clean silicone disk the size of a half dollar. I liked my dream one better.
Is it crazy that iβm seriously considering going to the gym and walking the stair master? I need this baby to GTFO. It snowed today so I made DH walk around target with me but things have kind of slowed down since coming home π

clementine how are his wet diapers? 3 days with no poop is NBD for most BF babies, but I agree that being a little lethargic would make me pause. Is he running a temp at all?

Lots of wet diapers still. And temp is fine! Iβm going to call the pedi on Monday. Although as I type this, heβs in the middle of a marathon nursing session so I hope this is making up for the short feedings earlier today.

I think I found something that J hates more than being naked. That would be wet and naked. He got his first bath since being home, and you would think we were killing him. So far he's a pretty chill baby, but change his diaper or clothes and he immediately starts crying.

There is a four week growth spurt so that could be the culprit! Donβt feel badly about calling or emailing your pedi though, even if just for peace of mind - itβs what theyβre there for.

Iβm so jealous of those of you ready to workout again. I am laying in the couch trying not to act like Iβm dying. I talked to dh about the perks of giving birth tonight. Iβm focusing on the hospital cooking for me, snuggling a baby and watching hgtv. When can I be done??? Then I think about the fact we are never doing this again and itβs bizarre.

So far he's a pretty chill baby, but change his diaper or clothes and he immediately starts crying. This is N. She haaaates being cold. She cries every diaper change and everytime I get her changed. She actually was fine during her bath because the water was pretty hot. Did you put a wet wash cloth on his chest? That always worked best for me.

We've always done sink baths until they outgrow the sink. They are pretty submerged with those and it's quick. Of course, I usually leave that to dh too so I may have skewed ideas of how it goes ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I didn't because I was told not to get his belly button or penis wet. I'm hoping he'll like baths a little more when he can sit in a little bit of water. I might try the wash cloth next time.

H and I went on our last date night before baby yesterday to a really nice steakhouse and it was DELICIOUS. I feel like Iβm still full this morning, but I guess thatβs not too hard when your stomach is squished by a fully gown babyπ
