I knew things were going too well DH had j for his night feeding while I slept and I heard him yell cue panic. I get out to living room and he and j are covered I vomit. J projectile vomited all over both of them. It freaked DH out, j was crying, like was coming out his nose Poor guy. Should I call doctor? Ohh poor J and YH. Projectile vomitomg would freak me out some too. Re calling the dr, i honestly don't know. Was it just the one time or did it happen again? If it was just once I probably wouldnt call but see how things go but if he keepa throwing up like that I would likely put in a call.

Mine sleeps alright thru the night but simply wont sleep but short 5-15min powernaps during the day which has its own challenges..tho I am grateful she will at least give me 4-5h of uninterupted sleep most every night plus another 1-2h after her MOTN feed. That helps with getting thru the day more or less in one piece. That's frustrating too because you can't so anything if they dont sleep during the day. People who say babiesnsleep all the time have no clue. Aye it is hard to get anything much done for sure. So I end up staying up too late once she falls asleep in the evening cause I do need some no-baby time on occasion to get some things sorted.. while I actually should sleep too when she does really cause nighttime sleep is all I get. No longer naps for baby during daytime means no downtime for mama either..plus she wants to nurse every damn hour or hour and half when she s awake π€€π₯ which takes a good 45 minutes usually.. so pfffff.

P has done it a few times - one time it was so forceful that because she was laying down, it got in her eyes, ears, hair, etc. Itβs definitely scary though.

There's really no need to call unless he keeps doing it consistently. Poor your guys! The other night N spit up all over me and him and the bed and I yelled out- you'd think DH - WHO WAS RIGHT NEXT RO US IN BED - would have woken up... nope. He slept through all my yelling and cussing and I was like are you serious right now?? Lol. I wish I had that ability to sleep that soundly right now lol

Yay my boppy finally arrived! Sucks tho.. I had jΓΊst gotten D. down for a nap and I am pretty sure the doorbell woke her up as she started crying within minutes. Darnit. It took me for ever rocking her and humming a lullaby to get her to fall asleep and she only had been down for 15 minutes. At least I got to try out the boppy right away? π

MH is really sick with the flu. He has a really high fever and body aches so I've banished him to the guest bedroom because I do not want M (or me) to get sick. But unfortunately that means I've been 100% soloing the past 2 days and trying to take care of MH too. I'm tired as hell and have gotten very little accomplished outside of nursing, changing diapers, entertaining M, and bringing soup and medicine to MH. Major props to @easilyunamused and anyone else who solos on a regular basis, it is hard as hell. I managed to get dinner in the Crock-Pot during her very brief nap this AM and felt pretty proud.
I also had my 6 week pp doctor appointment today and brought M with me. All went well with my check up but M spit up a ton all over her outfit in the waiting room and then had a poop blowout in the exam room, so that was fun. She seems to be having a lot of blow outs lately, not sure if she's having stomach problems or if we need to move up in diaper size or what!

cali I'm sorry your H is sick. I hope he is better soon! Afm- had my 6 week pp checkup and theybdiagnosed me with pp anxiety/depression. I'm surprised a dually. Physically they said I look great. They are putting me on zoloft...anyone have experience with it? I hate this. Also wanted to know about birth control We tried having a baby for 4 years and needed 4 ivf cycles so I'm not worried about it. Those of you that are if what t u doing foe birth control? My midwife wrote me.out of work for 8 weeks and may for 10 so I am getting paid foe additional weeks that I'm home now. I have to use my sick days but I have 150 so who cares if I use 48 foe 8 paid weeks.

king26, we are not doing anything for bc but we also would love to have one more kid so if it happened naturally and we didn't need IVF again that would be great (and would save us several thousand dollars). I don't expect that to happen but my doctor wanted to make sure I was ok with the possibility. I know you mentioned you are oad so in that situation I'd probably do something, maybe iud. If we're lucky enough to have one more I think mh will get a vasectomy cuz then we'll be done for sure.

king26 Iβm sorry about the diagnosis but Iβm really glad your doctor recognized the signs and you are being treated. *hugs* In terms of BC, we are only using condoms. Once my period comes back Iβll start charting again too. We arenβt sure weβre done having kids yet, but if we decide to have another one it wonβt be for at least another 2-3 years. Hormonal BC messes me up too much (Iβve tried various ones with varying levels) and IUDs scare me, so condoms & charting it is.

Iβm going to try birth control pills when I get my pap in January - unless I canβt handle my abnormal cycles before then. Iβm hoping I wonβt need them because I donβt do well with adding hormones.
I tried both IUDs last time and I spotted the entire time they were in. The Mirena made me feel unbalanced and I knew I needed it out when I was looking up how to rip it out myself.
I had a tubal ligation, so my concern is regulating my cycle and lightening up my blood loss. Mine are so heavy that they interfere with my life.

I think my H is worried about me since he heard my diagnosis. He currently has J in the carrier walking around doing stuff so that I can get some work done. He was pretty anti-carrier before today. I think I love him more then anything.
J is still only sleeping under an hour if he is in the bassinet or RNP during the day but will sleep 1.5-2 hours in the car or in the baby carrier. I don't want to spoil him so he doesn't want to be put down to nap but I also want to live me life.

If you Google "fourth trimester" it will discuss how baby is still in a very early stage and needs lots of contact and that baby wearing helps baby feel secure but doesn't form bad habits.

king26 - I agree I don't think you can spoil him just yet. I was iffy on the fourth trimester stuff but then I read more about it and it makes sense. Also, for sleep sanity, I would wear the heck out of him, heh. I'm sorry bout your diagnosis but I'm glad your Dr is on top of looking out for you. I think you being surprised by it is a good sign, though. Hopefully the meds kick in quickly and help. Hugs. And hugs to your DH for showing concern and taking over some baby stuff. Having a partner who gets it or at least is concerned and will step up is huge! cali I'm so sorry your DH is so sick. I'd be scared of you or M getting it, too. Fx he is contained. I'm sorry you have to do so much alone. It's really hard. I'm getting an IUD in a couple weeks. I've had both kinds (hormonal and non hormonal) and I while I would prefer non hormonal I much prefer the less period side effects so I'm going with the mirena. The IUD kept me from getting pregnant for 9 years, and I seem to get pregnant easily (when trying), so I am a big fan of it.

Sorry YH is sick cali, FX you and the LO are spared. Solo parenting is hard! I got through my first 7 days by the skin of my teeth. Now MH is home for the next 7 days, and though I'll still be on my own MOTN, it's great to have someone help during the day. king26, I'm glad your doctor is on top of your mental health and hopefully the meds will work. If you are struggling, maybe taking the time to talk to someone would be helpful as well? Hang in there, you're doing great.

MH and I used the pull out method for 7 years and tried unsuccessfully to get pregnant for over 2 years. We were finally able to conceive with IVF. So idk what I'll do for protection. I don't want to be on birth control or have an IUD. I keep throwing out the idea of a vasectomy because we have embryos on ice if we decide to have another child.

I'm trying really hard to convince my husband to get a vasectomy but he is resisting. It freaks him out, but I keep saying it's only fair since I was the one dealing with pregnancy and child birth. We'll see. We used just condoms for years when not TTC without issue, but I don't know if I want to risk having a 3rd baby.

cali ugh fx you nor M will catch the flu and that YH will soon get better! king26 <hugs> so sorry about your dx but it is great your dr is so on top of things. The comment about loving YH made me aww and tear up a little. π I am glad he is taking care of you as well. I don't have first hand experience with Zoloft but do with (major) depression amd depression. I hope that the dx, knowing and the meds will help you feel better. please reach out to us or someone when you need to! X addymac that is a little odd about the BC! Which one did they rx? I was adviced a mini pill with just P4 cause if BF as well but forget the name. I have to set up an appointment with my GP at some point to get the rx. But my hormones are still out of wack enough on their own and we arent having sex yet anyway so I am not in a hurry...)

So apparently J heard myb issuesto because he decided to sleep ok tonight. He did a 3.5 hour stretch followed by a 2 hour stretch which is unheard of. I'm sure we will be back to the hourwakeups now but it's only2 am so I Wil still get decent sleep. Plus my mom and dad are coming today which is great. I really need to see them. DH tried to get up with me for both feedings so far but I made him stay in bed this time. I know he was up earlier making surevi was asleep ( I heard him check me)
Also, you might think in nuts but we had J down for tummy time and he moved his head from one side to the other but got stuck going the other way and was really mad. He grabbed the blanket he was on and threw himself.....and rolled from tummy to back! Now I know it was a fluke but DH and I were shocked. I don't think it will happen again soon but it was crazy. Hopefuly he doesn't rollback to tummy anytime soon because I need him swaddled at night.

LOL i wrote my previous msg while MOTN and was so tired. I meant to say depression and anxiety and that being on meds (and getting a proper dx and knowing) helped me tremendously. It took some searching for the right one but once we found it it helped me be able to tackle life again.

When D. switched from short bits of sleep to a long one, they didnt gradually became longer but she went to 5-6h a time pretty much overnight. Enjoy your parents visit! I know how much you been looking forward to it. π

Do your babies want to on the boob pretty much every hour, hour and half max, as well? Not just I the evening but pretty much all day? Trying to figure out whether this is the prequel to her next leap ... but she sorta kinda been like this for a while now. Together with the fact she easily nurses for 45-60 min at a time this is slowly driving me a little nuts. Mostly cause I have shit to do but don't get to it.

No wonder women carry and birth babies π I brought this up to MH and he said he would never. Something about it putting him at risk for prostate cancer? I had never heard if that so did some reading and apperently there was this one increase in risk found but there have been larger studies since and none show there is this link.. Maybe I should let him read this one study article that said: βOnly a small increase was found in the earlier [2014] study and no increase was found in ours, so if I were considering a vasectomy I wouldnβt be too worried about prostate cancer,β Jacobs says. βFor men who want to do something to lower their risk of fatal prostate cancer, there are two things that they can do: maintain a healthy weight and quit smoking. Smoking and obesity have consistently been linked with higher risk of fatal prostate cancer.β He smokes.. (only outside of the house tho). Β

I hope I will be able to get D down for a nap later on so I can tidy a little bit. One of my cousins and his wife are visiting tomorrow and I d like things to not look like a bomb exploded.
We had a big fall out with them following our first loss early '15 and it left marks. Esp on MH and I think he still hasnt 'forgiven' my cousin for some of the things said and done. We haven't had any personal contact except for running into eachother a couple of times at family gatherings. I reached out to his wife after D was born when I learned thru another cousin she thought we were still mad at them and didn't want anything to do with them anymore. Which isn't true.. we just couldn't handle all the drama nor made up shit. I would like to put this behind us. Things won't be the same no more but there is no reason to be stuck in negativity. I am nervous for tomorrow to be honest. And want a tidy home to feel more secure and confident - if that even makes sense. Ugh. I just hope the visit will go well...

I try to distract him with other things because it's too much. I like when MH is home because it really helps A not comfort nurse. When I hold him, he just expects the boob.
