So H's car died on Friday, 3 days after we spent $1200 on it to pass state inspection. So now I get to drag my 2 week old out car shopping today. Yaaaaay. 😒

I hope car shopping goes okay. That was one of the worst experiences of my life- just exhausting and time consuming and shitty salespeople. Woof. ::shudder:: Thoughts & prayers for you, girl!

I am so upset. I got discharged from the hospital Saturday after needing IV antibiotics for a uterine infection. Today, one of my blood cultures came back with a yet unidentified bacteria in it, so they sent me back to the hospital for more IV antibiotics until the culture grows more so they know what it is (it may not even be in my blood currently). The worst of it is that my obgyn doesn't want me to breastfeed until they at least know what the bacteria is, and this time I don't have him here with me 😢. He is going to get formula tonight.
We supplemented with formula with DS1 bc I didn't have enough supply, and I know it's totally fine, but I'm just so disappointed bc breastfeeding has been going better this time around. Also, the infectious disease Dr I saw today thought it would be okay to keep breastfeeding, so that makes me feel worse if my ob is making me stop unnecessarily. And now I'm also so anxious I've already infected him while I was feeding him. Ugh. I'm going to pump and dump every 2-3 hours, so hopefully my supply will stay up. Sorry for the long incoherent ramblings.

Oh god thinkchocolate05, I'm very sorry, that's awful. How come he couldn't come with you again? I hope they determine the bacteria isn't there and you can get home soon to your little guy

That sucks thinkchocolate05. I hate when Drs give you conflicting information on that stuff. Same thing happened to me when I needed to take meds for the postpartum Bell's palsy. Maybe you can pump and possibly store that milk until you know for sure if it's safe or not? I hope they find out quickly.

I just pumped and was about to dump it but what if my blood culture from today comes back negative? Then it should be a waste of perfectly good milk. I'll ask the nurses if I can store it.

Yes! Genius idea @easilyunamused, I probably would have tossed it without thinking and cried the whole time lol I hated dumping when I was on those meds. I definitely wanted to cry! I hope they have a storage option for you thinkchocolate05! And that your bloodwork comes back clear. 🤞🏼

I hope they determine the bacteria isn't there and you can get home soon to your little guy He technically could come, but since he's not a patient dh would have to be with me to watch him in case I got taken for a test. Also, we would have had to ship DS1 off to his aunt for the third time in 2 weeks. It also worries me to bring DS2 into the hospital environment again with all the germs especially when I'm not allowed to breastfeed him. I would never forgive myself if he caught something.

I was too rattled to think of it.

I'm so sorry thinkchocolate05. I hope you don't end up having to dump everything you pump, and that everything turns out to be ok.

Sorry y'all for still being MIA. Things are okay just so chaotic and with as little sleep I am currently getting quite overwhelming. Recovery is also rougher then I expected (didnt anticipate that c-section on top of 20h of active labor lol).. every thing is slow going except for time! Really do hope to be back on soon as I hate missing out I all your stories and babies! Who all are waiting on their outside babies now? pepperpottsj and pennylane and? Strenght and patience coming your way ladies! And I hope I didn't miss to congratulate anyone on their precious babies but if I accidentally did - so sorry! - congratulations!!!

After 6 hours at the dealership yesterday we were able to leave with a car! We bought a 2017 Mazda 3 (H's car that died was a 2005 Mazda 3). DD did surprisingly well - she slept most of the time but she did get a little fussy at one point. I would have been pissed if we didn't find something and had to go back out today, especially because it's raining.

The weather has cooled down here at night. Anyone's LO's hands freezing at night? I feel so bad, the rest of her feels warm. None of the sleepers I own have the hand covers except newborn and those already seem snug on her. I remember using socks on DD1's hands but she was bigger
