Was it you who was dealing with this a cple weeks ago? Did the nystatine work well and how long did it take before you noticed a difference? Was it difficult to get it applied in babies mouth? Unofficially, yes. I decided I had thrush but Nsmouth seemed fine. So his dr wrote a prescription for him but told me to apply it to myself so I never had to give it to him. Sorry Hey as long as whatever it was that made you worry (and hurt) resolved by now!

I started washing the 0-3 And 3 month clothes because all the newborn stuff is getting too tight. The newborn diapers barely fit but we only have a few left, thankfully. I have a lot of feelings about this.
E slept from 8:45-1:45 last night. I only woke up to check on her 3 times. 😂
I have either bad allergies kicking in or a cold brewing. I feel crappy and it's only Monday.

So D had been sleeping since around 8.30 and didnt seem to want to wake up for her regular around 11pm feeding. In itself not a problem except I was looking forward to sleeping through the night maybe 😊 and without her before midnight feeding that never was going to happen. Lucky for me she did wake up around midnight and i just put her back in bed again. Fx she will sleep till 6 or maybe even 7am now?? 🤞🤞 I am crazy excited about the prospect! 😁

cali housework is overrated and a tidy home impossible when caring for a newborn - I have realized that much hahaha! I manage laundry and the kitchen and bathroom and that s about it.. the house is in desperate need of a vacuum cleaning ugh. Yay for M sleeping 5h - I hope she gives you more of those! Does P. always work nights only? Yes, unfortunately he does.

I love the fact there are no more night shifts...

I agree that 90% of my time is spent looking at the mess that has taken over my house. I can't keep up. It was great when I had tons of help, but just in the last 4 days I have 3 loads of laundry, dishes and everything else.
I managed to vacuum, but I gave up after that.
Actually my morning started off great, this evening sucked. My blood pressure was pretty high before I took my meds. I had a headache/migraine which is why I checked. So of course my anxiety went up as well.
It has got me thinking though. I always suffered from migraines with aura and now I am wondering what my blood pressures looked like then. I know the two can be related.

My guy has gone to bed at 8 the last 2 nights so DH and I have gone then too. Best decision we have made. Tonight he slept 8-12 So I had almost 4 hours of sleep. We will see how the rest of the night goes. He is eating right now and I'm trying to fill him up. He had a really good day of sleeping yesterday and I need him to have a good morning since ill be gone 4 hours.
I'm nervous because dh hasn't had him for that long by himself but he is sending me to a resort for a massage and bath treatment. I'm looking forward to it and hope I can enjoy it and not worry too much.

Sorry to hear your BP is causing you to feel unwell still even while on meds cwbh928 😕 Maybe an idea to consult with yr doctor, that may help with your anxiety as well? king26 yay for some longer stretches of sleep even id it is at 8pm! I hope your night is decent as well. What a lovely idea of YH to send you dor a massage, so sweet, you deserve it! I hope you can really relax and not worry much about J and YH

D. is battling a cold and her nose is sooo stuffed up she can hardly breath while BFing. Poor thing. Sleeping is difficult as well and I hear her snort and grunt and snotter constantly. Kept her with me after her MOTN feeding (I told you she wouldn't sleep thru hah!) cause I simply feel too anxious letting her sleep on her own while so stuffy. I somehow got just like 2.5h of sleep and am just soo tired. I normally would simply sleep some more once D. falls asleep after nursing her but I got a grocery delivery scheduled in 1.5h. Mayb eafterwards ...?? /zonk

We probably been very lucky to never really had this bad days before... but D. has been fussing and crying since 5am (it's 2pm now) and I am just at my wits end. Going to put her in the stroller and go for a walk... even if it doesn't send her to sleep it will at least hopefully clear my head. Thank gosh MH is off work wed and thu... in case she still is this fussy I can use the extra hand.

I wonder whether she is feeling off for some reason.. she has had 4 big poop daipers today which is a lot for her!!
Or maybe the thrush is bothering her? Or both? Or her baby acne??
I finally got hold of the GP earlier and she wrote an rx for nystatine but it won't be available for pick up at the pharmacy till tomorrow afternoon 😕

This is how my days are and it's so frustrating because sometimes there is no reason, they just cry. Fussiness is at its peak supposedly starting around 6 weeks so I'm hoping it just starts to get better with time

addymac we have a pretty solid routine but I feel like it's essential with twins. It's also easier with EPing I think because I have to pump every 3-4 hours so I work around that.

muscari we're struggling with fussiness too but in the evenings. It's anywhere from 7-11 it seems. My parents are watching the kids Friday night so H and I can go out to dinner for our anniversary and I'm worried about how P will be. Like I'm seriously considering going to dinner early so that we're back early. I don't know that I'll be able to relax at dinner otherwise 😔

Just had my massage and had a nice time in the baths as well but now I'm getting nervous I'm gone too long. Its been over 2.5 hours. I hate that feeling. DH wrote and said they are doing good...he slept over an hour they did walk and play may and he just asked if he can give him another oz. Of formula. I said yes because I want him to be good foe dh. He wants me to stay and rest but I'm starting to get nervous and I have a 45 minute drive home....but I'm sure they will be fine...right?

cwbh928 sorry your bp is still giving you trouble. Is your medication helping more than the previous one? They are definitely helping. I'm still taking labetalol, but I am also taking hydralazine. I don't know what caused my BP to rise last night. I know maybe they need to adjust but I'm not sure.
