I didn't think that would happen so soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/20#post-866300 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:41:14 +0000 kayakgirl73 866300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>G trys to put her feet in the dirty diaper if I'm not fast enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-866273 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:24:07 +0000 pinkb 866273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I am trying to figure out when we can do it again! It was so nice to feel that connection with DH again.</p> <p>LO has started to squirm a bit for diaper changes so it can be a challenge. But her most recent thing is puting her feet down and pushing her butt in the air. She almost always ends up with one foot in the dirty diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-866190 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:24:34 +0000 dagret 866190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: L gets furious when I don't let him chew on his feet during diaper changes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-866170 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:13:01 +0000 allison 866170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Eli just wants to grab at himself. It stresses me out when he's dirty! He's definitely gotten poop hands a couple times. I've started distracting him with the changing pad strap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-865962 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:06:42 +0000 pl0508 865962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: yep the second we put him on the changing table he is trying to reach around and flip to his belly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-865924 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 15:44:46 +0000 oliviaoblivia 865924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkb: I missed your whole post. Sounds like you had a nice night away. We haven't done that yet, I'm too chicken. I'm glad the path report came out ok. I'm sure that will make future pregnancies less stressful.</p> <p>Anyone else having trouble with diaper changes now? L will not sit still and the entire time I'm changing she's trying to get to her dirty diaper or the wipes box or my glasses. I've heard that toddler changes are tricky. I just didn't expect them to be difficult so soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-814168 Tue, 28 May 2013 19:33:17 +0000 pinkb 814168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: What a great pic! SIL is due July 1st and our LO will be 6 months. I feel like a am more excited for her to have her baby than I was for us to have ours...lol. It could have only been better if it was my sisiter.</p> <p>We are doing good here. Found out today the pathology on my placenta was perfectly normal, so it looks like I went early most likely due to stress. I am happy about that, it is something I can manage better next time. We just did our first plane ride with Abi last week. It wasn’t too bad other than exhausting. And we did our first night away from her! I waiver whether or not I would be able to do it but I did! We really needed a night for just the 2 of us. My mom and sister watched her, but we didnt even leave till she was in bed for the night, lol, and we were back by 8 am. But it was a nice get away. I totally felt once we were in the hotel like I needed to be doing something, I felt lost, it was so ridiculous. I wish they lived closer so we could do a date night :( I am working on finding a babysitter I like / trust.<br /> And I have serious baby fever :( I know we are in no way ready and I want more time with Abi just us.....but I think about being preggo again every flippin day and I miss it so much! I think it might have to do with I didnt have to go thru the last month of uncomfortableness and the second to last month I was on bed rest so that was easier than luggin around a big ol belly. So maybe I feel like I missed out a bit, IDK. But seriously I cant stop thinking about it. I dont care to go thru the newborn stage again just yet but I am super excited to have another already!! I am crazy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-813880 Tue, 28 May 2013 16:35:05 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 813880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rescuemom10: There are individual threads for sleep, etc. that are more active. This one kind of died. We need to talk more though! I get really excited when I see a thread pop up, but I don't usually search for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-813839 Tue, 28 May 2013 16:14:02 +0000 Rescuemom10 813839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, so I have been away and really busy recently.

Crazy right?<br /> Aww what a great pic!!! How special to have a cousin so close in age. So the 5th? Wow thats the most I have heard next to my family. My nephew is the 7th. Pretty cool!!!</p> <p>@Mrs Green Grass: Hmm good to know! Hope it tapers off. Some morning I wake up so hungry I feel sick. Ugh!</p> <p>@dagret: Oh no! Knock on wood we havent had that yet. Key word yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-750773 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:08:26 +0000 dagret 750773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: congrats auntie! That's so cool that your sons will have cousins so close in age. </p> <p>@Rescuemom10: I'm starving all the time too, but haven't stepped on a scale in a while. </p> <p>Ugh I hate to say it, but I think L's going through his 3 month growth spurt? It makes his huge eating 2 weeks ago look puny. He was up every 2 hrs to eat last night - I gave up and brought him to bed around midnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-750758 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:01:30 +0000 littlebug 750758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, just a little happy news - my little sister had her baby on Thursday! Our sons are exactly 14 weeks apart! He's a 5th - Daddy is the 4th, and they didn't decide what to name him until Friday, but decided to stick with tradition and make him the 5th! Here's me with D (who now looks like a MONSTER) with my sister and little A! </p> [attach=2005/13/mm166i.600x450.923058_10200364608972619_1219508011_n.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-750753 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:58:45 +0000 littlebug 750753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rescuemom10: YES! I eat like a maniac. I'm 6 pounds below my pre-pregnancy weight, and I honestly don't understand how given how much I eat! My mom yelled at me this weekend for being too skinny and to "stop it," and I was like, "Mom, I'm not doing anything! I eat like a horse and the weight is just dropping off!" I'm not really complaining, but it's hard to believe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-750463 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:11:32 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 750463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rescuemom10: I just recently lost my ravenous appetite. It's such a stark difference! Maybe because I only pump 3x a day (I'm 7 months pp almost). I finally starting to lose the last weight... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-750444 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:04:37 +0000 Rescuemom10 750444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How is everyone doing?<br /> Belle turned 3 mos this weekend. Where the heck has the time gone?<br /> Nursing is still going ehh. She has good days and then super distracted days. Yesterday I was at a friends house and I thought we were going to have to leave she was so distracted but then crazy fussy because she was hungry! Ugh! </p> <p>I feel like a garbage disposal. I am hungry all the time. WAY MORE than when I was pregnant. Know this is due to breastfeeding but its way more intense than I thought it would be. I am now 11 lbs bellow my pre preg weight. So I am not at all complaining but its just crazy how much/often I eat.<br /> Anyone else feel like a vacuum because of how often they eat with nursing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-747747 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 23:06:02 +0000 kayakgirl73 747747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shoemama: Hands free bras are the bomb. I just rented a hospital grade pump to get ready for my return to work and to try and be able to pump enough milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-743157 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:36:19 +0000 shoemama 743157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to say hi to everyone! Molly is now 4 months old...how did this happen so fast??? </p> [attach=2264/13/mltvwl.600x399.IMG_2702.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-730758 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 21:22:00 +0000 pl0508 730758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: you convinced me ! Just ordered me a hands free bra ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-730124 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 16:54:36 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 730124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear tanks and sweaters. Take sweater off, put nursing cover on, pull straps of tank down, unhook bra cups, put on nursing bra, put sweater back on, pump.</p> <p>You can actually do things while you pump hands free so you'll really be saving time! I want you to come back and tell me how much it has changed your life after you try it!</p> <p>I have the medium medela ones. I'm a 36dd pp, 34c before. It needs to fit snugly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-729776 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 14:17:20 +0000 allison 729776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gracecat: thank you!</p> <p>Today has been better, nursing-wise. He ate really well first thing this morning, then again when he woke up from his first nap. Not AS good after the second, but not bad either. I've been nursing him in the bedroom, away from any noises. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-729502 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 12:37:50 +0000 littlebug 729502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gracecat: Thank you for the tips! D does the same thing as @Rescuemom10: just sort of stares off into space. He's just started playing with my hair (ouch) or my shirt, so I also thought about a nursing necklace. I found some on Etsy that double as teething necklaces, so I was maybe oging to order one of those.</p> <p>@Mrs Green Grass: I don't have one. I've thought about it, but not sure how that'll work pumping at work - do I strip down and put it on each time? As it is, each pumping session has me off the floor for 20-30 minutes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-post-partum-thread/page/19#post-729487 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 12:27:00 +0000 pl0508 729487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: do you have the simple wishes one ? I'm about to buy but not sure what size to order? I was 38DD before my milk came in </p>
