i will...  

Sara H and Sara C, where are you?!

Quoting msplainjane:“ Sara H and Sara C, where are you?!”

I am here now. Jake has been lazy (surprise... no) all day playing poker on the computer. I would think he would be a little helpful while off on leave with me. He does NOTHING... well I take that back, he cooked a roast last night. But besides changing a few diapers he does NOTHING and I am about to kill him. I need him to go to work. The day my water broke we got into an argument about the fact that he does not help out around the house at all, he said that day he would try and be better. HA!!! I get no sleep every night, he sleeps 8 hours every night. I try to get the house semi-cleaned during the day while I should be taking a nap but it is the only time that I can get him to watch Josephine so that I can do the dishes, sweep the floors, do laundry etc....

I want to scream! Josephine is VERY clingy and wants to be held all the time. I really need to get her sleeping in her bassinet (or at least her pack and play) before Jake goes back to work. The funny thing is that if she wont wake up to eat ( I have to wake her every 3 hours and try and make her eat) I lay her down in her bassinet in the bedroom. With out fail she will be up and crying in 5 minutes. So frustrating!

Went to see her surgeon today. He thinks that we need to start supplementing my breastmilk to try and get her to gain more weight. He thinks she looks pretty skinny. She is 22.5 inches (as of last Monday) and 8lbs 4oz. She is long and skinny. Though Jake was VERY skinny as a child. It is frustrating. I want her to be healthy and gain weight. I feel like a bit of a loser that she isn't gaining enough from me. This is so hard. Everyday is such a battle. just when I think things are looking up I feel like we get hit with something else.

Also, please pray for my Mom. She has been in the hospital for the past two nights. On Tuesday we all went to my parents house for lunch and I was going to help her decorate the Christmas Tree. Just before we were going to eat lunch she started feeling sick. She had got a small cut on her right hand the day before when getting the tree. Due to her weakened immune system from having cancer twice she got a blood infection. She has been running a fever that has spiked at 104.5 a couple times. Her hand where the cut is is still all swollen and a plastic surgeon was coming to look at it as he may have to cut it open to drain the infection. Luckily she knows her body if she hadn't gone to the hospital the infection could have killed her pretty quickly. Please pray that the infection goes away and she gets to go home tomorrow.

Sorry for the long post. It has been a trying day...

Nessa, Lots of hugs to you! I am sorry you are having a bad day. I wish I could do something to help you. I will definately give Josephine an extra kiss for you!

Sara I'm sorry he's not helping you! Have you talked to him about it recently? Do you think it would do any good. You definitely sound like you need a rest, and I really really hope he lets you get some sleep! Also, sorry they are wanting you to supplement, I know it's not even close to the same situation but they told me that David wasn't gaining enough and wanted me to supplement, in my case I kind of wish I hadn't listened because I ended up giving up on breast feeding but I know you have to doyou what you have to to keep your little girl healthy!

I'm sorry about your mom but I'm glad she knew something wasn't right and got herself in to see someone! I just said a prayer for your family.

Sorry about your mom. I understand the clinginess. Luckily she sleeps in her bassinett most nights. But like when she falls asleep for an evening nap I can't put her down. If I put her upstairs I think she senses we are not there and 5 mins later she is up.... IDK what to do.

So I am trying to get her in more of a nighttime routine, by keeping her up more during the day, nursing her in her room which is dark and quiet. Last night I nursed her in there at about 1130 and she fell asleep and stayed asleep til 6. So I know she is super tired and when she was ready for her 10 oclock feeding I brought her in there and she fell asleep but as soon as I take the boob out she wakes up. So now she is laying in her crib crying cause I am at my wits end. She keeps acting like she is hungry but I put the boob in and she pulls it out and looks at me. I feel so bad for letting her CIO right now but I really don't know what to do..... It's so hard trying to figure out what they need sometimes!

OMG i know... it is so hard. Poor Bug gets gas every feeding. After she is done about 20 minutes later the gas comes. She will be laying on my chest. She will raise her head up and look at me and SCREAM. At least I know her lungs are healthy. She screams so loud. And then she stops, until a couple minutes later, then the scream again. The look on her face says "MOMMY HELP!!!) Ugh breaks my heart.

I haven't said anything. I am too emotional and I am afraid I will just lose it. I am exhausted but I feel horrible leaving her and sleeping... isn't that bizarre?

I knew that supplementing was probably coming at sometime. Most likely they will just have me give her enhanced breast milk, which I will just add something to my expressed milk. I am not ready to give up breastfeeding. With her intestinal issues I would want to chance the constipation that tends to come with formula feeding.

Anyone heard from Sandi?

Megan- My sister goes back in 6weeks for another ultrasound. As of right now the dr said the kidneys are dilated and have fluid in them... Im not sure what that means or how bad that can be... Im just hoping and praying that everything will be ok and that my sister doesnt have to go through what I've gone through.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I hope everyones holiday season starts getting better really soon.

Quoting Josephine's Mommy:“ Anyone heard from Sandi?”
