Hi guys, just checking in. Today was rough. I had the worst labor ever! The pit was started and I was slow to change. Finally, I got an epidural that didn't take on my left side. Wth?! So I could feel every single contraction on my left side only. It was a nightmare. I pushed for almost two hours before he was born. Anyway, as soon as I had him, my brother and parents showed up so I was visiting with them so I didn't have a whole lot of time to check in.
We are still deciding on a name but hope to pick one tomorrow.

Morning. The SIL who eats crackers for me? Guess who organised her baby shower for about 75% and wasn't even mentioned on the invite? You guessed right. Wish me luck today!

snoopmommymom hopefully today is better for you and your H today. My H is similar and I fully expect the silent treatment when I get home from the wineries this afternoon...but I don't give a shit. He will get over it.

He will get over it. This. DH watches the boys solo a few Saturday mornings a month while I go to running group. Somehow they're always terrible for him and it's too much for 1 person. Um, they're just as much your kids as mine, and I can handle them solo...

nam2013 sorry your sil is such a bitch. Hope the shower is still fun! I'll have to admit, she didn't send the invite. My other SIL, who I get along great with, did. It just felt, let's say, not nice.

My symptomless UTI now has symptoms. I have been on antibiotics since Wednesday. I'm afraid of how this is going to go.

I was supposed to sleep in today. So far C has been climbing all over me insisting on watching videos in my room, L got upstairs with a poopy diaper and MH opened all the blinds in my room while I changed her. Now MH is laying in bed watching stuff on his phone asking how I slept. Everyone get away from me!

Snoop, I'm sorry. As others said, they're his kids too. He needs to act like it.

Can you take AZO Standard while pregnant? It always helped my symptoms and is over the counter. . I have Cystex so I just looked and it says "especially important to not use in the last 3 months of pregnancy." If my next dose of antibiotics doesn't help, I will call the doctor. Maybe she can change the antibiotic, hoping she doesn't send me to the hospital. Last time I need a combo of 2 IV antibiotics.
