Week/fruit/EDD or how old is baby: 34w4d/ Savoy Cabbage/ August 23 FTM, etc: STM Appointments: MW home visit is next week. Team: Green Symptoms: I'm drinking Metamucil right now  , muscle spasms, BH, swelling due to heat, moodiness, trouble sleeping, hunger. Milestones: I think I outgrew some maternity clothes besides the tops I called my "2nd tri" tops because they're short. Rants: I wish my house would clean itself OR I wish I could justify hiring and professional organizer & cleaner to at least get me sorted out. Raves: I bought a magic stick vac, so much easier than sweeping or using the hand vac. It feels like a 3rd tri gift to myself to have less bending over for clean floors. |

friendofdobby - Sorry about your pelvis, but I'm glad you go to PT and it got caught! My PT found scoliosis in my back which she *thinks* causes my sciatica so at least I have a treatment plan. PT, especially pelvic PT, FTW!

Week/fruit/EDD or how old is baby: He is one week old
FTM, etc: 3rd
Appointments: Yet another weight check on Thursday
Team: blue
Symptoms: headaches and my face is broken out... hormones?
Rants: Baby isn’t gaining weight.... 0 ounces from Friday to Monday. He’s down 14 ounces from birth weight. I’m hoping he will be on the upswing soon. I’m giving him an ounce of pumped milk or formula after most feedings.... just hoping for progress!
Raves: It’s fun to teach my girls all the interesting little things about newborns. They’re really enjoying him!
For those of you with outside babies, how are you doing? How are older kids adjusting? I think my H is having the hardest time adjusting to being home with all of us for three weeks! 😂😂 We seem to be driving him nuts!!

After 3 kids my filter is just gone. Someone asked me today if I was feeling pretty good, and I just said "no, not really." 😂🙈 I'm still embarrassed by it hahaha. Should have just made polite small talk!

@kore I’m seriously glad I finally went. I plan to keep going for the pelvic issues until delivery then go back 6-8 weeks after birth to keep working on pelvic floor.

Should have just made polite small talk! . Lol!!! I would have to catch myself when someone asked me that and remind myself that they don’t really want to know. I'm the opposite. If you ask, I'm going to be honest most of the time. I'm unable to think straight enough to answer questions right now so it's polite small talk. I dislike people asking questions if they don't care about the answer. |

Week/fruit/EDD or how old is baby: 9 days old already!
FTM, etc: 3TM
Appointments: Tomorrow for baby. Just to check that his jaundice is getting better. I'm pretty sure he looks less yellow than on Monday. I have a follow up next week because of my BP.
Team: blue
Symptoms: I am more hungry now than when I was pregnant.
Milestones: As of Monday he was only one ounce below his birth weight!
Rants:
Raves: He's been a dream of a newborn so far. I probably just jinxed it.
For those of you with outside babies, how are you doing? How are older kids adjusting?
I'm doing pretty well. Impatiently wanting to be healed and back to normal. My older two seem to be adjusting well. They love their little brother. They've had lots of attention between MH being home and visits with grandparents.

I woke up this morning at 3 am with stomach cramps. It is messing with my "poop or labor" spidey senses. I have one of my last school things that can't be made up if I miss it this morning so I am ignoring it (the stomach cramps) and hoping it's nothing. I just feel "off" and I'm so frustrated, it's the 3rd or 4th night in a row I've only gotten only 3 or 4 hours of sleep. Someone lie to me and tell me I'll sleep more when I have a newborn 😂😬

I hope you made your assignment this morning and that baby cooperates to let you finish what you need to for school. |

I have always been hesitant to use the nursery for some weird reason, but this time I'm gonna be like "take it away, please!! Feed it formula!! Let me sleep!!" The hospital stay was so rough after being awake nearly 48 hours through an induction with kids 1 and 3. I'll just sleep when my kids are 18. I guess. |

Random rave: I did this last pregnancy & PP but I neglected to buy any until last week - GROUND FLAX SEED!! I can't even taste the 2T that I put in my oatmeal or smoothie for breakfast. I admit I've tried to add more fibre in general (including prune juice, not a rave item) but I love flax seed. It also has omega-3s.
If you're having... ahem... issues, it has worked for me in the past & is now.

fatigue has hit again super hard. I need a nap like every day. 3 more weeks of work (at most) and I have no idea how I’m going to make it.

friendofdobby I’m struggling with fatigue too. I wake up feeling like I haven’t slept. DH let me “sleep in” yesterday but once DD woke us I was up so I just lay in bed for 2h.

I'm tired all the time, too. I was solo with the kids yesterday and kept dozing off on the couch unintentionally all day. I got 6 hours of sleep last night, which is the most I've gotten in a week, but I still feel like nodding off on the couch is in my future.
