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: whatās your favorite room in your home? Either my kitchen or bedroom. A has the best style. Snuggles & kisses for baby sister. Adelynās chair at my momās is also Audrey sized.

This is not his most photogenic phase, but heās still as cute as ever. 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.

1. 16 days old 2. Heās 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 wouldnāt wish that on anyone. Starting to go for walks! 5. 6 week PP 6. I donāt really enjoy breastfeeding. I feel like Iām missing so much with my DD because heās always on my boob. Iām not really sure what Iām doing or how much longer Iāll do it. 7. My bedroom because I love my bed. The basement is nice for family time.

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: whatās 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 donāt have everything set up for DS yet (diaper changes, naps, etc...) so I havenāt been using it since Iām tired of going up and down 3 flights of steps every time I need/forget something.

Oh kookie3631 Iām so sorry. Being overdue is the worst. I canāt 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.

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 āshe eats againā and āshe is still eatingā so she notices thatās 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 š

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 itās soon! Madymoiselle milk blebs hurt so much. Mine usually took a few weeks to heal Iām 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.

I knew I wanted to check something at Target this afternoon and forgot š£ Just put some warm/hot water in a shallow bowl or sink and dissolve some salt or epsom salt (whatever youāve got) in it. Not so hot itās 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.

But Iād rather have the time off once baby is here than spend a week sitting on my couch āwastingā my maternity leave. lily, I went overdue with DD as well (41 w + 5 d) and listening to my coworkers again is super annoying.
