Our basement. It’s finished and has a lot of space and a nice comfy couch with built in recliners. The room is currently overrun by my 3 year old’s toys, though, so I need to organize and get it back to my happy place.

8. Show us that bump/baby!

[tinyjoys]

How old is baby?
6 weeks this past Tuesday.

How big is baby?
I'd put her somewhere around 9ish pounds. She's slowly outgrowing newborn clothing, but too small still for 0-3.

Symptoms:
I had mastitis about a month ago, but still had a residual clogged duct on my left side, near my armpit. It doesn't really bother me at all and is about the size of a grape. But, I have a clog on my right side, at the top/outskirts of my areola. It's grown, is red/warm and causing discomfort, but I'm not experiencing any other symptoms of a clogged duct, like a drop in production. I need to make an appointment with my OB to have it looked at next week. I'd do it for today or tomorrow, but I'm having car issues that require it being towed to the dealership and they won't have a loaner for me until Monday.

What/when is your next appointment?
One day next week. My OB is awesome about fitting in for "emergencies", so it'll probably be Monday or Tuesday when I call.

Questions / concerns / rants:
None I can think of.

GTKY: what’s your favorite room in your home?
Either my kitchen or bedroom.

I'll accept my MOTY award now... I keep comparing A2 to

She's lost most of the hair on the top of her head at this point and basically looks like a mini version of him.

[jessila]

tinyjoys, I'm cackling at that comparison. L is nursing and was not amused by my level of glee.

[budders]

tinyjoys I love the comparison!

L is losing patches all over his head. It’s very haphazard.

[lemons]

1. 16 days old
2. He’s got to be pushing 10lbs. I think I need to stock up on some bigger summer clothes. This was very much not an issue with DD. Girl was in NB for a month.
3. Still has a penis!
4. I feel good now that the antibiotics have kicked in for the mastitis. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Starting to go for walks!
5. 6 week PP
6. I don’t really enjoy breastfeeding. I feel like I’m missing so much with my DD because he’s always on my boob. I’m not really sure what I’m doing or how much longer I’ll do it.
7. My bedroom because I love my bed. The basement is nice for family time.

[kiri]

1. How far along are you? Or how old is baby? 5 weeks

2. How big is baby? He was almost 10 lbs at his appt on Monday

3. Team: blue

4. Symptoms: DS - breaking out and I noticed a spot of cradle cap. Poop...lots of poop. Me - flabby

5. What/when is your next appointment? Just had my 6 week a little early and then having my annual in early August

6. Questions / concerns / rants: Regretting every calorie I put in my mouth during and after pregnancy. I went to lululemon yesterday and was mortified.

7. GTKY: what’s your favorite room in your home? At this point, whichever one is organized and clean. I had H and my dad work on part of the walkout basement when they were here helping me and the room looks great. It has a treadmill and a tv to stream workouts so hopefully it will get a lot of use and become my favorite. I don’t have everything set up for DS yet (diaper changes, naps, etc...) so I haven’t been using it since I’m tired of going up and down 3 flights of steps every time I need/forget something.

[budders]

lemons we have that whale outfit too, and a blanket with that animal print!

DDs room. She picked the color and decor and it’s so her!

8. Show us that bump/baby!

[robot]

Oh kookie3631 I’m so sorry. Being overdue is the worst. I can’t even imagine still working at that point. I had to tell DH not to tell me what his coworkers were saying, that was enough to get me going.

[Madymoiselle]

1. How far along are you? Or how old is baby? 3 weeks old

2. How big is baby? Somewhere in the 7lbs

5. What/when is your next appointment? Ped 1 month check up next Friday to check in her jaundice

7. GTKY: what’s your favorite room in your home? The living room or the pool table room. One was designed by an architect and built 40 years ago, the other one is all me and modern.

lemons, I am with you on the mixed BF feelings. DD1 was a nursing champion and it was a done deal in 20min tops. This one is a sloooooow eater and I can nurse for a good hour at a time. So much loss time and DD1 has started to say ‘she eats again’ and ‘she is still eating’ so she notices that’s basically all I do.
Add in the things I mentioned in HDBD as well, and I am getting annoyed. I have already introduced 1 bottle throughout the day and it has helped me stay sane 🙌

[lily]

kookie3631 ugh I remember how obnoxious coworkers were when I was overdue with DS1. Literally no one wants you to have the baby more than you. Hope it’s soon!

Madymoiselle milk blebs hurt so much. Mine usually took a few weeks to heal I’m sorry to say. Saline soaks help a lot. Put some moist heat on it before nursing will help that initial latch not be so excruciating.

Saline solution like the one for the nety pot? I knew I wanted to check something at Target this afternoon and forgot 😣

[lily]

1. He is 14 hours old

2. How big is baby? - 7lb3oz

3. Blue

4. Symptoms: contractions when nursing.

5. What/when is your next appointment? - still in the hospital so all the time? J has his first pedi appt scheduled Tuesday.

6. Did not plan on a natural birth but I’m loving the recovery. Also so glad this kid wasn’t sunny side up like his brother. 2 stitches instead of 42 is incredible.

7. GTKY: what’s your favorite room in your home? - I’m with adeline that it’s a new (to me) house so I kinda love the whole thing. My master bath is so luxurious I’m going with that.

Just put some warm/hot water in a shallow bowl or sink and dissolve some salt or epsom salt (whatever you’ve got) in it. Not so hot it’s gonna burn of course. Stick your nipple in for a few minutes. Do this a few times a day or as often as feels good.

[kookie3631]

robot, every night I go to bed hoping I’m going to wake up in labor and am just disappointed when I wale up the next morning and realize I’m stil pregnant and have to go to work. But I’d rather have the time off once baby is here than spend a week sitting on my couch “wasting” my maternity leave.

lily, I went overdue with DD as well (41 w + 5 d) and listening to my coworkers again is super annoying.

[itsmemeg]

1. Or how old is baby? 7 weeks

2. How big is baby? Somewhere in the 9lb range

3. Team: pink

4. Symptoms: my nipples are killing me

5. What/when is your next appointment? Had my PP apt today. OB wants me to try some anxiety meds to see if that eases up some of my stress

E has her lip/tongue tie appt next week

6. Questions / concerns / rants: I’ve never taken meds for anxiety or anything so I’m a little nervous.

7. GTKY: what’s your favorite room in your home? From a comfort standpoint, my bedroom. I love my bed.

Yessss. I cried nearly every morning after my EDD because I woke up not in labor. You’re a rockstar for going overdue twice.

LOL. I do not feel like a rockstar-I feel more like a beached whale. NST showed some slight contractions (although I didn’t feel them at all) so fx that I go into labor this weekend.
