I still haven’t eaten my KitKat!
Going to try to go get N’s booster flu shot when I get off of work today. Fx the timing works out cuz then we can visit DH at work who has a long on call day and most likely won’t see N at all otherwise.
His shoes came in the mail on Friday but we were out so they diverted them to the post office so I have to try to pick them up tomorrow. And I bought a bunch of clothes from carters during their 70% off sale so I need to pick them up at the store. So many errands. I’ll probably end up doing 90% of them tomorrow.

Hi August 17 ! My baby started pulling up and standing yesterday, in the crib as well. We lowered it today and put a convertible seat in my car. Because she is way to heavy. Oh she got her first tooth. What a week!! wow what a week! I'm hoping we can keep the infant carseat until at least june....you know, since it's currently snowing and all

So I went to Mass General yesterday for my 2nd opinion and he was in agreement with my colorectal surgeon and GI dr’s opinion that it’s likely from Crohns 😢☹️
This legit happened to me out of nowhere the end of my pregnancy. He did say he has had many otherwise healthy women come to him with these issues after pregnancy.
Besides my broken ass, I have no GI symptoms at all so it’s hard to fathom I guess.
They want me to take Humira which scares the shit out of me. I’m not comfortable taking it and BF so now I have to decide if I wait till I’m done or wean. I’m aaaallll up in my feelings right now.

Oh wow, jt2378. They just go straight to the medication? I know nothing about chrons, but I assumed they’d have a definitive test that would accurately diagnose it. Especially if they want you to go on meds. I’m sorry!

Is my A16 baby the only one left that doesn’t have a tooth yet?! Awww! He’s the oldest of us aside from the bug twins, right? That’s kinda funny! Enjoy his toothless-ness as long as possible. On the days we bf N always bites me - except the first few times I yelped and he’d start to cry. Then, I learned to not yelp, I would just say sternly “Noah, NO. NO BITING!” And he’d look at me all doe eyed like what did I do?! And NOW, he will bite and then IMMEDIATELY look up at me and give me a mischievous smile like hehehhe I know what I did. And I just look at him and then he laughs. THIS KID!!

And N is a silly boy, isn’t it so cute to see their personalities start to shine through?!

@easilyunamused it really is fun to see their personalities emerging! He’s such a ham. I miss the newborn snuggles but I LOVE this age and seeing them grow so much and learning new things. Oh babies 💙

@easilyunamused, I have had a series of tests that essentially don’t show the diagnosis. There isn’t 1 definitive accurate test for Crohns so it’s really hard to diagnose. The meds are really the only possibility to make me not live in chronic pain everyday and to hopefully have possible healing. It just feels so hopeless right now. Omg enjoy your toothless wonder right now. Same thing with the biting here too addymac. It hurts sooooooo bad!

Hi ladies! It’s been crazy here! Toddler has been driving me up a wall. Hudson is on the move so no breaks for us. DH has been working like a nut since his promotion so that’s been fun too. jt2378 I am sorry. I don’t know much about crohns, but I do know a few people who suffer with it. 2 of them started with it after pregnancy. I also want to jump in on personalities! It’s crazy how different my boys are! The way they develop, their interest (at similar age), How fast milestones were hit. It’s crazy! I’m playing some catch up, but hope everyone is doing well otherwise and that it finally stays warm!!

Hey jt2378 I stopped breastfeeding and started taking some not safe for breastfeeding meds. I felt really guilty stopping because I felt selfish. But happy momma = happy family. Sorry for the crohns dx. My sister just got diagnosed with colitis and her suffering was unbelievable. Crohns is no picnic Thanks. Actually the more research I’m doing, it’s not actual unsafe to take with BF. The GI dr had said that but I didn’t believe him. It still makes me nervous though so I’m not sure what I’ll do. I know stopping isn’t the worst thing thing in the world it’s just my last baby and all so I’m all up in my emotions. I’m sorry about your sister, I hope she gets on a treatment plan and has relief too 💕

It says we are in the midst of it but I swear she starts everything early so it’s been tough but better the last few nights with only 1 wake up again. Still can’t wait to just get to none though lol.

She doesnt do it again right away but when she lateron does nip she will look up at me with this particular grin she also has when I tell her to lie still (yeah right ha ha!) instead of rolling while changing her. I love it and find it cute ans annoying as F all at the same time lol Oh and D has her two bottom teethies now - the first cut 2 wks ago the second a week later orso?

@starzia so many new things in one week! Here D has gone through a huge jump as well. She d been crawling backwards for weeks now, then finally found her forward crawl monday before last. On Wednesday she decided crawling was for babies and decided to pull herself up to stand and it has been her favorite trick since! Where did my ittybitty baby go???

cwbh928, thank you, its so interesting that you know 2 people that started with it after pregnancy too! Are they doing better now? muscari, thanks for the love...supposedly many people have great success on it so hopefully I would be the same. That would be the goal. It just sucks that its likely a life long medication

N had been sleeping like shit too, king26. He was up 3x last night barely eating but enough to scream his head off until I fed him and then was awake from 530-645am. I finally woke him up at 9am bc he was still snoozing. Talk about fucking up his daily schedule
