July 06 mamas: get yer March on! - Page 3

[sewaneecook]

I have some Fuzzi Bunz with Hemparoo inserts that are very trim, but I only have 6 of them, so I keep them in the diaper bag for outings. I'd hate to invest more in to an entirely new set of CDs. I guess I save the tight pants for when we're out and about and using the FBs.

I had to post one more time ... 800 posts. Only 200 more until I'm a senior member.

Now, I must. go. clean.

[SabbathD]

Oh DD hates the mixer too, I forgot about that. And the blender, and the dryer, and the dishwasher.....

Ya know....maybe that's why my house is always a mess.

Sabbath - that was my excuse with Adia! My sister was telling me this morning that my niece loves the CD my mom got them for Christmas that has vacuum, hair drying, washing machine, etc. noises. That would've been like one of those Halloween horror CD's with Adia.

Another TCOYF-lover here. The only problem with NFP is that I know when I'm fertile, so it's faaaar too easy to go "Oh c'mon, let's go for another one!" You've heard of my Francesca?

(Oh funny! I used because I couldn't remember the right smiley there. I guess it works, but the lowercase o is more appropriate.)

Same problem here! Logan is absolutely TERRIFIED of the vacuum cleaner. He cries in sheer terror whenever I turn it on. I try to vacuum when dh is home so he can take the babe upstairs. Yesterday I had to run it after dd #3 dumped popcorn all over the family room rug. I was scared he would choke. : That happened right before she took a permanent marker to the television screen. Yesterday was not a good day here!

, Liz! Even c/s moms have issues. It's a common misconception that a c/s avoids this type of thing and that vaginal birth causes it. You might consider discussing it with your doctor to rule out anything medical. For some women breastfeeding is enough to cause discomfort while DTD. Others say that when AF returns they feel a better balance of hormones that helps with this.

HI,
I havent gotten my period yet either, which is interesting since I have been weaning my son since Jan. and we officially ended our nursing relationship Feb. 20th....separate story had to wean to follow up on a finding in my right breast, would rather not get into it as it was the hardest thing I have done as a mother..
I have taken 2 pregnancy tests, both negative, because it seems like I should have af by now, especially since Im not nursing...

Dang, so no margaritas????


Sarah, this group has been great listeners in the past to each other. No judgement, no snark. If you feel like you need to share, then go ahead. If not, then that's fine, too.

I hope everything was ok with the breast exam! Having to give up BFing before DS and I are ready is one of my biggest fears.

Truly no judgement here. I know that the same cannot be said for everywhere but we truly don't have any judgement to pass around in this group, and would be happy to support you in whatever predicament you might be in. Nothing is black and white, and there are a lot of varying shades of gray in this world. Your LO is lucky to have you as a mommy, and you are a wonderful person for giving your baby the BEST YOU ARE ABLE. Love yourself mama.

Your hormones are most likely quite wonky right now, just had a baby less than a year ago, weaning ect. It's possible that it will take a bit to sort it all out. again s s and more s. I don't know why, but I massively teared up reading your post. It just struck me as so....sad.

Hi! I'd love to start participating in these threads. I saw them before and now I finally have a little time.

My dd was born via emergency c-section on 7-7-06 after 37 hours of labor w/o meds. We should have guessed that date, though because 7 is our (dh and my) lucky number! And now, on March 7 she will be 8 months old.

Still mostly bf, she eats 2-3 tablespoons of baby food two times a day.

No AF and I'm LOVIN EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

Hope to see all of you more on this tread!

[SabbathD]

My baby was born on the 6th!! Welcome!

[fenwickmama]

mine was 7/7/06 too!

Yes, I had that same issue despite a c/s. I wasn't sure how common it was, though. I had medical issues and had all sorts of stuff going on in there during DS' birth -- internal monitoring, multiple blood draws from his scalp which involved a wide tube being placed and a light inserted, etc. so I thought it might have been because of all that equipment going in and out.

What a great description.

Oh, and re: your book question, DS finds a book that can be loosely translated as "When all the little ones are sleepy ..." to be tastiest.

He is not at all interested in reading, but eating books, wow, now there is a fun activity!
