Quoting Moi H*:" Today is the first time I'm taking both kids out alone...and it's raining. DH forgot about Ivy's appointment and went to work."

Good Luck! I'm sure everything will go smoothly!

It started out rough. Lol. JJ started acting like a baby and was crying because he couldn't have his way. Then Ivy started crying because he was crying. I had to step away and breathe. They both did very well at the doctor's office, though.

Awwwe   ive never went during off season. It's probably less overwhelming.

It's ok mama. Just focus on getting that baby girl out safely

I didn't either. LOL! I really need to go to Walmart, but it's supposed to rain for the next three days.

Omg I'm never shopping alone with the kids. It was a nightmare when we went grocery shopping on Sunday. I wanted to kill myself and that is not an exaggeration. Nope never doing that alone.

lol! I waited until DH got home on Sunday. He works in a grocery store so I usually send him a list. He never reads the whole list, though.

Ivy's 2 week check up went well. She has gained one pound, one ounce (8lb3oz) and she's an inch taller (19.5in). She has an umbilical hernia. Her doctor is very proud of my breastfeeding progress.  

I need my electric pump, though. Just hand pumped 3oz from one side and it's still leaking milk.

Omg   did they say an estimates time of arrival for the one you ordered?

Glad she's gaining well. Idk how much Scarlytt weighs. She has a 1 mo appt in a couple weeks so well see. But I hope it's a lot. She went from 5,12 to 6,8 in a week. And she starting to look chubbier now.

What exactly is a belly button hernia? Scarlytts belly button won't stop bleeding   lylians never did that. Scarlytts is like a weird inny outty thing. And I can't see the exact middle cause it's super tight so I have no idea what's going on in there haha.

They didn't give an estimate. Just said that there is a nationwide shortage due to the new insurance policies.

Her belly button is an inny outty and looks a little swollen at time. You can really tell when she cries. The doctor said it usually goes away on its own, and that it won't be a concern unless she still has it at age 6/7.

Laura - you have a medela right? Do the standard breastshields work for you? Mine seems like it doesn't fit well this pregnancy and leaves an imprint when I'm done. I ordered the 30mm to see if it will be a better fit.

I was due Feb 17th. butttt...
Last monday i went to my 38 week appt and was dilated to 4 so my nurse stipped my membranes. Wednesday I lost my mucus plug and Thursday feb 7th I woke up to my water broke i felt a gush and jumped up at 5:40 am . Got to the hospital and DIDNT realize that when your water breaks it KEEPS coming HAHA my water didnt break on its own with my daughter so i had no idea! Every turn in the parking lot of the hospital to find a parking stop it was gushing out and i didnt bring towels FUN haha then we get inside and my pants were soaked and my slippers anyways. I had him at 4:04 pm that day. 10 days early but 6 pounds 12 ounces 18 1/2 inches long and perfect as ever!!! My boyfriend, his mom and my mom were in the room. my labor was SOO much easier then with my daughter and the after birth. I didnt get cut or tear and i didnt push to long. my nurses were all GREAT and it was just a very special experience. After i had him though they told me my blood pressure was up which ive never dealt with they said it was 160 something and normally its 90. i dont understand all that but they took blood n said they were going to make sure it wasnt effecting my kidneys. which freaked me out n i was crying had like 5 nurses talk to me to calm me down n explain it. So now im on blood pressure medicine because its still higher then normal.. I am allergic to latex but didnt realize n the catheder is made of latex so i got swollen. I could pee FINE when i was swollen once it went down to normal i got a bladder infection and CANT   ouch .. Well thats about it We came home from the hospital on saturday. He is SOOOoooo sweet. we love him and so do our girls they are very proud to be big sisters  

It wont let me add pictures   ill have to try again later !

My LC at the hospital checked mine cause I wondered too. She said as long as the actual nipple is not touching the edges it's good. I have large areaolas   tmi. So I didn't know how they were supposed to fit. What do u have now? I have 4 27mm ones cause both my kits came with 2 if u wanted me to send you a pair if you're using 24's right now.

Congrats   sounds perfect!! I also got a bladder infection (idk if it was from the catheter or not). Not fun.
