We've been going to bed super early too! We've gotten into a routine where we put M down at 7:30, come downstairs and clean up the kitchen and toys, sit on the couch like zombies until 8:30 and then take J upstairs to start the night routine. Sometimes he will go to sleep after that 9pm-ish feeding, and sometimes he'll cluster feed until 11 or so
The early bedtime is definitely helping me to get more sleep than I otherwise would - and that 30 minutes of time sitting on the couch with DH is some of my favorite time of the day
-
This is gross - but is anyone else feeling totally disgusting? I'm a sweaty mess all night and even after I've showered I feel gross and stinky during the day too. I remember the night sweats from after I had M, but I can't remember how long they lasted. Yuck.
-
@MrsF: we have the cluster feed as well before bed time. I feel like I should just attach her to my breast from 9 - 11 pm some nights.
@MrsF: OMG yes! I feel so gross. I sweat at night like crazy.
-
@MrsF: I remember this from my first, but never really went through it this time. I mostly just felt gross because I couldn't wash my incision. But now I finally can. It was getting to be stinky!
My problem, hygiene-wise, is dry skin. My face is so dry it hurts. I'm putting on lotion as much as I can but I don't want my face to start breaking out either.
-
@Adira: @BandDmommy: @MrsF: I had 2 2nd degree tears inside and 1 out... Called the ob and they just told me more baths and rest. I guess I get to tough it out.
-
@josina: ugh - sorry
-
@MamaG: OMG yes! Xander seems HUGE to me now! And so old!!! Walking, talking, has teeth, etc! He was my little baby and now he's such a big boy!
@MrsF: Ugh, yes, totally with you on feeling gross! Sweating galore! And I need a shower... oops. That's tomorrow's goal!
@josina: Oh yikes! That's a lot worse than me! I'm sorry!! I hope you feel better soon!

I ordered birth announcements!!! I really need to order Christmas cards - the birth announcements can wait. BUT I don't have a good picture of Xander yet for Christmas cards and I got some good pictures of Logan, so I just went ahead and ordered them. Anyone else doing birth announcements?
-
@josina: sorry
@Adira: cute!
-
@Adira: I ordered both announcements and cards this week. I debated doing it all in one, but I didn't want to short change k.
-
@Adira: so cute! I just ordered our Christmas cards and figure those count. I did the same with M
-
STM -- when did your milk come in? Compared to last time? Last time I gave birth early Thursday and it didn't fully come in until Monday morning and I'm stressed about that this time since I know baby boy will be small like his brother and there will be a lot of pressure to feed well.
-
@josina: I have 2nd degree tears too. They're no fun.
-
@winniebee: mine came in right away this time. Last time it took a day or so but I also wasn't allowed to hold LO for a day so that probably delayed it.
-
@Adira: I think I'm going to do our Xmas card / birth announcement together and use the newborn pics we just took, will be cutting it close but I should have them by next Wednesday.
@winniebee: I gave birth on Wednesday and mine came in sunday morning... I did have to supplement Friday and Saturday. -
@MamaG: hi i'm from the feb 2015 board... Do u mind sharing where you got the personalized blanket? Not to be weird or anything
-
@Baby2Feb15: it's from etsy shop isewjo. The turn time was really fast.
-
@winniebee: Mine came in immediately. Maybe by the next day, if not the day of. With Xander, it took 3-4 days to come in.
-
Up for MOTN pee.....lol
Hope all Mamas and babes are doing well!
-
@FaithFertility: hahaha... Hi!
-
@MamaG: thank you!
-
is it just me or does your bed feel fabulous once you put LO down?
-
@Adira: this gives me hope!
-
@winniebee: mine came in more quickly this time too I gave birth Monday evening and milk was fully in on Thursday (it had taken longer the first time) My nurses said it's usually faster for STMs.
Also - baby J was bigger than ultrasound estimates. Hope the same is true for you!
-
@FaithFertility: thanks! You too!
-
@BandDmommy: my bed feels amazing
-
Ugh - ladies - I just realized that in my sleep-deprived state I ordered our Xmas cards to be shipped to our old address! (In the same state) anyone know if fedex will re-route it if I cont them? I'm so bummed
-
@MrsF: good to know!! Have they shipped yet?? The company may change it for you. Also I think you can call your local fedex to re route.
-
@winniebee: yeah - they've already shipped (I was so happy about that yesterday!). I'll call fedex in a few hours.
-
It's only 10:00 and I'm already finding two kids challenging, even with Hubs here helping. I've been nursing Logan for an hour because I think he is trying to nurse to sleep, but Xander is being so loud that he can't fall asleep.
-
@Adira: have you tried giving him a pacifier? I gave D a pacifier after she was done feeding but still wanted to comfort nurse. She loved it!
-
@MrsF: ugh, so frustrating. Hope you are able to get everything sorted out.
-
@Adira: Beautiful announcement cards!
-
@BandDmommy: I wanted to wait until he was up to his birth weight before giving him a pacifier...
-
@Adira: agh gotcha
-
@BandDmommy: But then for sure, he's getting one!! I have a bunch ready! Although that reminds me, I need to sterilize them first... and all the bottles and pump parts. Bleh...
-
Hubs is already frustrating me. Whenever I'm not nursing, he immediately is pawning Xander off on me so he can nap or play video games! I get that he's used to a lot of down time on the weekends, but we have two now and I'm not getting any breaks...
-
@Adira: annoying!
We ordered our double BOB today soooooo excited!
-
We are officially a family of four with no guests for 2.5 weeks! K is celebrating the occasion by sleeping ALL day long. She's been sort of awake to eat and that's about it. I'm fearful for what tonight will bring.
C has been a little on the lazy side today as well, I really hope she isn't getting sick. My throat is still sore and I can tell that I definitely have some sinus drainage. DH is still getting over his head cold too. It was beautiful out today and I hate that we are spending our days inside, but I am too anxious about any of us getting sick (more sick), especially K. I hate that I have a newborn during flu season.
-
@MamaG: Yay for no guests!! We live close enough to family that people just visit us for the day, but we've had a whole week alone already. MIL is visiting tomorrow though and bringing us food!
What a bummer about all of you being sick! Definitely wise to stay in just to be on the safe side. And hoping K surprises you and sleeps well tonight!
