I just need to vent for a second. I've been kind of emotional this morning because I put it in my head that Harper might go home this weekend because she's been rocking the bottles even though she hasn't been successful in bfing yet. All I want for Mother's Day is to take her home.
But she took three feedings in the last 12 hours through her ng tube instead of the bottle cause she was so sleepy. So I feel like we moved one step forward and two steps back. I'm still hopeful, but now it's got me all emotional thinking we'll be here 4 weeks on Monday.
I had to get out of the hospital this morning just so I'd stop thinking about it. I know I should be grateful she doesn't have any other problems than feeding, but it's still hard.

The beach was totally worth the 7 hour drive to get here. So thankful for this relaxation before baby crunch time.

I made a huge tiny mistake and didn’t wear my compression socks to work. It just felt like too much effort this morning. I have regrets.

Pretty sure the first mosquitos to hatch in the state are biting me. I already have 2 in the last 2 days. This is so unfair. I'm so uncomfortable as it is, without this.

Thanks for letting me get all it out. Today was just a bad day emotionally and I feel like I can only talk to DH about it. So I appreciate being able to vent here.

I didn’t have this with DS so all so new for me. My boobs are completely different this time. If too much time passes between pumping, my breasts get all tingly. And when I put the flanges on to pump, they almost let down automatically. So weird.

kiri, did you have your baby today, too? Yes! We don’t have a name yet though. RCS which was much less traumatic than the urgent first CS. Recovery sucks. Baby turned out to be on the large side so having some issues with blood sugar. Hoping that things start falling into place tomorrow. I’ll post more details soon!
