Impish Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) Baby 'Boo' is a wk old today! Already :001_huh: After pains are still happening, and they suck. I need to call my pain specialist. RSD is def on the rise...I just broke down and took a break through med I had left over from before I went off everything. Thank heavens I didn't just toss them, suspecting I'd get caught in this exact situation. I don't know if its the weather (cold, and only going to get colder, which *always* sets RSD screaming), broken sleep, hormones, or simply being post partum thats driving pain up...likely all of the above. Wolf took the night shift last night, but I was up at 4 am, b/c Boo wasn't settling. Poor Wolf tried everything...I discovered, after Wolf headed for bed, that the bottle nipple wasn't working, at all. Poor baby had been working on the bottle, and getting nada. No wonder he wasn't settling. Diva is awesome w/the baby. A huge help, even if I have to pull rank just to get *my* hands on my baby! :lol: More than 3 hrs sleep at a time will be a God send. *ETA* Reread this, and realize that its mostly whining. I need to say how incredibly blessed I am by SpecialMama. She took the kids for the Induction From Hades, all 24 hrs worth, minus the brief jet home Wolf did to put the Littles to bed. She's brought supper several nights, comes by to visit to ensure I'm not losing my mind completely and give me another adult to talk to (one that understands, first hand, post partum stuff)...I truly don't know what we would have done without her. I know she'll probably be embarrassed by my saying this, but it needed to be said. Edited November 16, 2011 by Impish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginevra Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'm thinking of imploring you to change your avatar to little Boo. It would really give me a baby fix. :grouphug: for the RSD flare. I'm glad you have some meds handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Poor little Boo Boo! Toss that nipple! When our trips were born and big sis was only 18 months our 6 yr old was a huge help. I can imagine what a help Diva is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 It seems that the Playtex nipples just up and clog. I need to get some 'regular' bottles for when we run out of liners in the middle of the night, and other such occurances. The Playtex ones were a 2 for 1 dealie for the start up set, which is why I went for them. Diva really has been amazing. I'm very, very blessed.

Impish Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 She truly is a "specialmama," isn't she? :iagree: Good friends are treasured blessings! She is indeed. My own family wasn't as supportive when I had Diva. I hemmorraged w/her right up to the line btwn them offering a blood transfusion, rather than just waking up with it. Mom dropped me off at my home w/a 6 yo and newborn. I ended up having to call her, sobbing, b/c I couldn't stay on my feet long enough to make supper without feeling like I was going to pass out. I ended up staying w/my folks for a week, and was let know what an imposition it was every day but the first one. Having someone that just gives is beyond my experience. W/my family of origin, there's always a hook somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
