jacks, totally take advantage of the nursing staff - they really are amazing at getting people to leave you alone in the hospital! I will be doing this too. My ILs are coming down Thursday afternoon from out of town for my Friday 7:30 am c-section, even though I told MH I don't want visitors the first day. They didn't ask - they assumed it was a given that they would be there. What is so hard about people asking if it's okay if they come visit?!

@ges072115 Exactly! No one has asked or even mentioned their plans to me! I mean, my parents are coming but a) my mom is super grandma and I don’t feel weird nursing in front of her b) my dad is super grandad with DD and is in charge of getting her to her weekend activities. I can’t tell H’s parents not to come because it would totally crush them not to be there and despite my complaints, they’re good in-laws. My mom confirmed that some of my annoyance was probably pregnancy hormones 😂 I just don’t know what his parents are going to do all day! I definitely don’t want people just sitting around the tiny hospital room. lemondrop To be fair, they were free with my newborn session so I didn’t technically get my shit together to book it separately! I figured if they were terrible, no worries. I did learn a few things that I want to do differently with newborn pics. Aka if my boobs feel like they might be too out, they probably are.

Tlex that is a lot to deal with. I am so glad there was not any retained placenta. I hope your baby boy is better soon and this transition gets easier with each day.

Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: 5 days
Baby is the size of a: 8 lbs 4 oz, up 3 oz from her last weight check!
FTM/STM/TTM/etc:ttm
Appointments: midwife came this morning to check us over, we have our first office appt next tuesday
Symptoms: feeling great overall, still have a bit of my cold remaining
Milestones: gaining back weight!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I feel like life is calming down a bit. She is up every 2 to 3 hours at night so I feel more rested. We are getting a little routine of her being awake in the morning and the girls come into my bedroom and hang out with her and read while I can relax and eat breakfast. My husband is working from home so it has been nice having him around and all the meals being prepped. Bedtime has been a bit crazy bc I think just having the new baby excitement but we are trying to keep bedtime routine the same and last night was definitely the easiest getting everyone settled.
QOTD: Is it warming up in your area? What's your favorite Spring activity? We love going on walks and getting out to the parks. It has been nice and sunny so we have been going on short walks the past couple days which has been lovely.
Share any U/S or bump OR BABY (ahem) (WE HAVE NOT HAD ENOUGH BABY PHOTOS, MY FRIENDS) pics
Going on a walk (not sure why it is loading sideways)

Happy Birthday remi! orangehibiscus, I’ve also been having that feeling like having a tampon in, so uncomfortable Tlex, so glad there’s no retained placenta, good luck with the new job! Did you ask your OB about it? I guess it’s just normal, but it is uncomfortable! I hope it goes away soon for us both.

Tlex yikes it sounds like a lot to manage. I hope you're feeling ok and not totally overwhelmed. If anyone is getting maternity pics omg, please post them! I had them done for my daughter but couldn't afford them this time. My thoughts are with everyone that is dealing with the pain of third trimester. Your little babes will be here soon. Also anyone with babies that have arrived, I hope you are all doing well. I am friggin exhausted. 12am-4am seems to be when this dude likes to be cheerfully awake. His tiny little peepers are wide open, just taking it all in. Not sleeping. I am so grateful to have more maternity leave this time. If I had what I had with Ramona, I'd be going back next Thursday. Which would fucking suck.

jacks Can you just tell them when to come to the hospital? I told everyone I wanted DD there first and no one else the first day. After that they had to text first because I didn't want a million people at once and if I needed to sleep I wasn't afraid to say do. Everyone is local so it's not a big deal to be flexible like that

Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: 3w3d old
Baby is the size of a: not sure of weights, but they are growing out of the newborn size!
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM/TTM (twins)
Team: identical boys
Appointments: 1 month checkup next Friday for the babies
Symptoms: I think night sweats are mostly gone... they are the worst.
Milestones: Got out 2 days in a row for walks.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm worried about my supply, it is hard to keep up with these guys but so far so good. Sometimes I think they just want to comfort suck so we ordered pacifiers to come tomorrow. Like they won't mind of the bottle is gone, they will suck on the empty nipple (or comfort nurse on me) and I don't want to overfeed them. I had oatmeal yesterday and saw a great result later, not sure if it's related. And I'm drinking a ton of water. I seem to consistently get 5 oz total per pump ever 2 to 3 hours, but sometimes they will drink 4 oz of breast milk at a sitting. Seems like a lot compared to what I remember with DD, but she was on the breast more.
QOTD: Is it warming up in your area? Yes!
What's your favorite Spring activity? Going to parks and on walks, sitting out on our deck once it's nicer.
