king26, I haven't talked to my doc because I just started realizing that it might be actual pp anxiety and not normal worry. I also feel like I want to avoid meds because I'm already on BP meds and I worry about too many meds with BFing. But if it keeps getting worse I'll definitely talk to her. I'm a worrier by nature so it's hard to know what's normal worry for me. As for the probiotics we give her wellements probiotic gripe water.

Does anyone else have issues with Tapatalk randomly not showing posts and skipping pages? I only realize it’s happening because i’ll see someone quote & respond to a post I never saw. Then i’ll go on web view and see it. Super frustrating 😒 Yes! I hate this too

Anybody who BFs feel like when your home and not out doing something, your LO wants to just live on the boob? If she isn't sleeping or hanging out in the swing she basically will only sit with me for a few minutes unless nursing. Ugh I appreciate the sweet snuggles but so tiring some days. I know I can wear her around the house but sometimes your back needs a break too. 😩 Yes, that is all M wants to do if I'm holding her. It's frustrating because I wish she could just snuggle with me and hang out without having to nurse. A would happily hang out on the boob all day long. I definitely get a little jealous that MH can hold him no problem. I grab him and he automatically turns his head towards my chest and wants to latch.

T had PT this morning and R had her 2 month appointment this afternoon. Everyone had a bath or shower today, so it feels like I’ve just been on the go today.
R weighs 13lbs 2oz, height 23.23” and head circumference is 40cm. Her doctor was impressed with her head control, since she’s also lifting her chest with her arms. R has also rolled stomach to back a couple times and tried to do it as the doctor was examining her.
R spit up the flu vaccine and a bunch of formula. We didn’t bring a change of clothes - we need to get into the habit of doing that for outings. So, she wore a soaked sleeper home and got a bath. Apparently, some babies spit up the vaccine - T never did that.

We had her shots today at 2:45. She didn't cry with the first one but did for the second but stopped quickly. So far has been sleepy, really hoping that continues tonite and she sleeps ok and is not super fussy

You guys are right about the flu vaccine. I thought last appointment the doctor said R would get it orally when she asked if I wanted T to get it. I honestly don’t pay attention to what vaccines they get. I get them all on the schedule they recommend.

I thought maybe there was a new flu vaccine approved for infants, I got excited there for a sec 😄

Wow where was everyone last Night? Dis all the babies sleep? I checked in once but didn't have the energy to post. I'm sitting at the dentist now waiting for my appointment. I'm having less anxiety then yesterday but hoping j is good for DH while I'm gone. We are still in the space where he is up for 1.5 hours in between naps. He eats for 30 minutes then we have to entertain him which is hard and he often just cries. We try playmat, tummy time, walks, etc but many times we just sit with him because there isn't much to do.

That sucks. I also wanted to start a crock pot meal but haven't been able too. Hopefully I can get it in by 12

((hugs)) thinkchocolate05, I know that feeling. It's so nice that you want to do all that for YH but I'm sure he'll understand if baby H doesn't cooperate with your plan. Sometimes I swear it's like they know we have so much to do and they act extra fussy!

I went on a field trip with DD1 this morning. M was home with MH and fussy but took the bottle at least. She didn't sleep that great last night, hopefully it was just the shots

This week has been the worst and today is the icing on the cake. I have had to be gone for school stuff every day this week and feel like I'm missing so much time with M. Today, I have to be in court to testify about a case I worked on in my former job FOUR god damn years ago. I'm so annoyed that they're bringing me in for this and it's taking up my whole day, so another day away from M. My mom is watching her today during the day. Then tonight I have to go to a baptism preparation class at the church for her baptism that is coming up. So I'll be away from her again tonight. And my mom just told me she can't watch M tonight so she asked my aunt. I'm not crazy about that idea but my aunt just texted me and is super excited about watching her so now I feel bad saying no and I also have no other options since they only offer this prep class once a month and it's mandatory to do before her baptism. I totally trust my aunt but I just have never left her with anyone but my mom or MH. Ugh, I'm just feeling so anxious about it all and I want to cry because I miss my baby. Also, M slept horribly last night, she slept from 11-1, 2-3:45 and then was up pretty much from 3:45 on, so I'm fricking exhausted on top of everything. I feel like I need a break from all this outside stuff and just want time to be a new mom!!

P has her 2 month appt later this afternoon, which means shots 😔 I’m making H come with me. I hope she does well.
I noticed last night that DS’s voice sounded a little froggy, and then this morning he was coughing a lot. I really hope he’s not getting sick.

Dentist went well. All looked good and I went to walmart aftetwarfs and didnt text my h at all. Definite improvement on my part. J has been eating and sleeping like crazy today. I thought growth spurt because he has been cranky the last 2 days so maybe he is just tired? While online the longer naps because I can get crap done I worry what it will be like tonoght. He's had like 5 decent nights of sleep ( meaning ive had longer stretches) and I don't want to go backwards!!! ((( cali))) I'm sorry this is stressing you and I totally understand you just wanting to be a new mom. It's taken you along time to get here and now you feel like you are missing out. I hope you get to spend more time with her soon and that she sleeps better tonight. On baptism....is there a timeline we should get him baptised? My mom is all about in the first 3 months but it's not happening. I want j to be less cranky before we do it so I'm thinking closer to 6 months. Plus I want my brother to be the godfather and he s not available to come down until after christmas.

king26, I don't think there's a set time for baptism. The old school way was to do it right away, like my grandpa was scandalized that we didn't have her baptized before taking her out of the house but I don't think that's the modern way. I know people who haven't had their kid baptized until they were one or two years old. I basically just want to get it done before the holidays when everything gets crazy so we're doing it next month. We're not having a big party or anything, just doing a small lunch afterwards with the godparents and the grandparents.

Ugh, I'm engorged as hell right now while I'm waiting here to testify and it's so uncomfortable. We need to get this show on the road so I can pump. Just praying my boobs don't start leaking because I totally forgot to put extra pads in my bra this morning. That would really be the cherry on top of this shit show day.
