I think I'm an idiot. I really hurt today and its my own fault. Yesterday I over did it and I tried to cut back on my pain meds a little. Not a good combination.

Leaf 🌱 and ArielMermaid I’m right there with you. I’m so frustrated and irritable a I’m done. I don’t even know what would help my mood at this point. Sorry guys. I’m kind of checked out at the moment and just can’t keep up with the board and am pissy at life right now. Also, very sorry for all having feeding issues and no sleep

I tried to do this too and it just ended up making my recovery longer and harder. There’s no shame in taking the meds if you need them! If there was ever a time to take it easy and take care of yourself it’s now. I truly found that taking care of myself in those first few days and weeks actually shortened my recovery. Hope you feel better soon!

So the doctor yesterday gave us a prescription for Zantac for the reflux and suggested elevating his mattress in his crib with books. You guys - he slept SIX HOURS straight last night and then went straight back down for FOUR!!!! I mean I can’t say for sure it was all of that but I am so happy this morning. But somehow still exhausted. I think the nights have finally caught up with me.

Hope you feel better soon! Thanks. I think I'll take your advice and take all the pain meds today. They were just making me sleepy yesterday, so I thought I'd just try taking one instead of taking both. Lesson learned.

I do not want to give birth again. That shit sucked. But I do want this baby out. Pregnancy is weird. Same here!

So it is looking like I am going to make it to my induction on Monday. I keep thinking things are happening, but then it all fizzles out.
For some reason I feel like a bundle of nerves about the induction. I was 3cm dilated two weeks ago, so at least I am not starting from scratch. However, the unknowns about being induced are getting to me. And I'm all worried I'll keep getting bumped due to lack of hospital space. I just hope things go relatively smoothly and the induction doesn't take a crazy amount of time.

Vent ahead: I think I may be the most pregnant now and it’s making me RAGEY. Prodromal labor blows and everyone asking when I’m due is making it worse. I’m exhausted and terrified that I’m going to be overdue with a monster sized baby and be too tired to push its fat body out. If one more person/nurse says “well it doesn’t look like a 9lb babynis in there” I may punch them in the face. I measured slightly behind with DD too and my belly size literally has almost zero to do with how big this kids head may be. The more they head-pat and the more tired I get the more likely I am to feel/act completely irrationally. Can some one just drug me until my water breaks? Friend, I would give you all my drugs if I could. ❤️

We had s good reflux night here but you are convincing me that Zantac is the miracle I need.

L would have like one decent night, two to three terrible nights. My view is I may as well try and see if the meds make a difference. The pediatrician did say it could take up to a week to work - so it may not be all sunshine and rainbows from here on out and may not work immediately. But my kid today is the happiest I’ve seen him in two weeks so I’ll take it.

MIL has been here all week, which has been a great help. FIL is coming tonight for the weekend and then they’re both leaving Sunday. SIL just said she and my 6 month old niece are coming down with FIL. I was initially really excited to see them (I mean I’m still excited to see them), but now I’m a little worried it’s going to be a hectic weekend, more than I’m prepared for. H has a hockey tournament with a game tonight, 2 tomorrow, and 1 on Sunday. I’m hoping I can sneak out and watch a game and the ILs will watch L.
Hugs and sleepy vibes to all the babies (and moms) dealing with sleep issues right now. I’m right there with you.

Has anyone had to use a bili-bed at home? We went to the apes this morning and they want us to get one. DS1 had jaundice also but was treated by the lights at the hospital.

I just took L for a long walk around the neighborhood. It was amazing to get out and get some fresh air. But I guess I forgot how steep some of the hills are in my neighborhood. My legs are going to be angry at me tomorrow.

Thanks for the encouragement and kind words. Thankfully, mornings and afternoons I tend to feel much better. Hopefully the rollercoaster will level out here very soon.
DH and I braved out first family outing with both boys today. To Target, naturally. Baby fell asleep partway through the trip, and the toddler was chill, so I’ll call that a win. Except for the random lady who came up and got handsy with the cart, saying “ooh, that looks like a brand new baby!” No shit lady, so back up a bit and stop breathing all over him.

My legs are going to be angry at me tomorrow. I'm so jealous!! I've been itching so badly to stretch my legs and get fresh air but the weather has been conspiring against me. Snow, rain or epic wind. Every day. Grrrr. I've got fingers crossed for this weekend.

I am snuggling DS on the couch while he watches his show. DH is holding DD who is snoozing. I am drinking a gin martini (tiny because I have no tolerance lol) and pizza is being delivered shortly. I'm sure it's a fleeting moment but ahhhh I feel normal right now.

I’m sorry for everyone dealing with sleep deprivation/reflux/pp hormones/family health concerns. I’m trying to keep up with the board but failing!!
Re: reflux vs dairy sensitivity, I would echo the recommendation to check for mucus and/or blood in stools. Both my guys had dairy and soy intolerances for 1 year plus and the mucus was the giveaway in both. I’m really really really hoping this baby has a happy gut with no intolerances!!

The more I'm not pregnant, the more I realize that I was pretty severely depressed when I was pregnant. I just feel so ecstatic and everything just seems so wonderful now. Even waking up with a baby seemed amazing.
It's funny what not throwing up everyday will do to you.

I just called & ordered Chinese for H to pick up on his way home from work & we're going to watch Ferdinand & have a couch/coffee table picnic. H is off tomorrow, so we're emptying out my car, dropping the kids off to MIL, then vacuuming it and going to look at an Acadia at a dealership about an hour or so away. They're holding it for until until 1pm. Then, a trip into Target to finish all the pre-baby purchases (some diapers, baby wash, pp underwear, nipple cream, etc.).

Today has been awful. The baby has been so fussy and she's spitting up constantly and screaming unless she's being held. Dd1 is home with me today and wants my attention so bad but it's impossible when I can't put the baby down. I finally put her in the K'tan so I could eat and get a few things done around the house. But dinner is not made and the house is still kind of a mess.

Even waking up with a baby seemed amazing. It's funny what not throwing up everyday will do to you. Pregnancy sucks. Late pregnancy especially. I felt a thousand times better 1 day post partum than I had for the last 3 weeks. Both physically and mentally. I know it isn't true for everyone but I feel you. It's so hard not to get bogged down by the compromise in quality of life when you're pregnant. It's so significant. I'm so glad you're feeling better!!!
