Leaf 🌱 we had to deal with lack of getting squished too. So much spitting and coughing!! Thankfully it resolved before we went home, but we definitely spent a lot of time auctioning his mouth. I’d never heard of such a thing previously. mattsgirl2004 I hope things pass quickly. The pain isn’t infection is it? I hope you and your dh find some common ground. We’ve definitely had some blow outs post baby. Which reminds me....I’d like to avoid that this time 😳 so difficult. They’re calling for 5 more inches of snow here on Wednesday. I want to crawl into a hole. 16” this weekend was enough. I cannot deal with this for much longer.

dizzycooks My OB thinks it's a bladder or kidney infection. Hopefully I'll get some answers and maybe some antibiotics tomorrow. ETA: So sorry for all the snow.

Congratulations Leaf 🌱!! My baby also didn't spend much time in the birth canal and had some issues with mucus. That's such unfortunate timing with the stomach flu for your H and DD but I'm glad they've recovered and that everyone is adjusting to the baby 😊

Well CONGRATS Leaf 🌱. Glad everyone seems to be doing better. I cannot sit on the "baby didn't spend long enough in the birth canal" bench. DS spent plenty long in there. 😏 ETA I thought I could see almost a ridge on DS's head for how far out I had pushed his head before the episiotomy. Like I kept trying and trying to push his head out and there was all this pressure and how many ctx at that one spot that you could see a ring. Idk if that makes any sense.

Congratulations Leaf 🌱! We dealt with the mucus too. She would gag and choke and almost stop breathing and it would freak me out. I'm glad D1 is starting to adjust and that you guys are doing well at home.

I called the pediatrician and we wouldn't be able to get in until May. I left a message for the nurse and of course I missed the call back so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see what they say. It just worries me that so much comes out her nose which also causes her to be congested so I'm constantly trying to clean out her nose so she can breathe easier when she eats.

I hope you get some answers and hopefully meds tomorrow mattsgirl2004. Sorry you and your H are fighting. Newborns are rough and Mh and I have definitely had our moments since the baby was born. Extra kids on top of it makes things extra stressful. I hope you are able to get things worked out soon.

I told this to my pedi today because we are in the same boat. They suggested what you are already doing - using the suction bulb to clear the nose and using saline drops to make sure it’s lubricated in there so it can just slide out and not get congested. I hope you can get in sooner than that.

I’m so salty. I’m sleeping that newborn life but I don’t have one. I couldn’t fall asleep until well after midnight, up at 2:30 to pee, up for pee at 4:30, then up for the day at 5 thanks to a toddler nightmare. I’m dying.

Does anyone else’s baby have an umbilical hernia? B has one and it’s no biggie but the Dr pushed it in today to see how big it was and omg it grossed me out. Why are belly buttons so gross? ::raises hand:: It is little and soft and no big deal but she also had a little granuloma that the NP put silver nitrate on. Basically it's a chemical that stops the growth. But she put it on healthy skin which made her red and raw and it was just way more than what she should have done. I feel bad for baby because now it is seeping and looks way worse and it really didn't have to be that way.

I can’t believe the speed at which so many of you spit those babies out. I hope it rubs off on me.

Congratulations Leaf 🌱!! ArielMermaid I feel like you really deserve a break! I’m sorry sleep (and everything) sucks right now. Hope that baby makes an appearance soon. mattsgirl2004, I hope you get answers soon and start feeling better. Sorry to everyone dealing with more snow. Like I don’t even get how that’s a thing right now. I’m sitting here trapped under a baby. This is our first wake up tonight (it’s 4 am here) so I’m a little thrilled over here. Hoping he goes down easy for me so I get some more sleep. I have my 6 week check up with the OB but otherwise no big plans today.

sunshinedaisies I’m a complainer. I’ll have this baby and still be bitching. The good news is I think our renovation is done. There are a couple of tiny details that need to be sorted later because we are tired. But we have the office moved into the new room and all of DD’s toys are moved into the “playroom”. My living room looks like grown ups live here again. It’s so nice. Also, I haven’t seen my FIL in a week. I love him dearly and he made the Reno possible, but I haven’t had an iota of privacy this entire pregnancy, so it’s so nice just to have the three of us here at night.

Leaf 🌱 congratulations! L was delivered via c section so we dealt with the mucus stuff too. mattsgirl2004 I hope you get some answers. I also am sick of snow. Hopefully it will be done this week. The weather forecast for the rest of this week looks better We are meeting DS1s daycare class at a little children’s museum today. It should be fun and gets us out of the house. My dad got home from the hospital yesterday. The boys and I are staying at my parents tomorrow night.

Maybe that means you’ll have one of those unicorn newborns that sttn like all the grandmas insist their babies did ArielMermaid. And it’s so awesome your Reno is done.

Ok B has only had one dose of the meds but seriously that was a fantastic night. He slept soundly and for long stretches (well 3 and 4 hours). But soundly. No groaning or moaning or straining or crying in his sleep. I feel like a superhero this morning.

ArielMermaid you’ll feel so great once that baby is out! Seriously, just to n it need to pee all the time...it’s coming girl! So I had to drop something at fedex this morning and I was feeling like a rockstar bc I got both kids to their schools on time. At fedex I realized I didn’t have my wallet or enough change to pay the $1.40 bill. Wtf? Now I have to go back again with 3 kids rather than 2 with my wallet. The only good part was that I made it to my car before I started crying.
