Part 7: Due December 2017, Jan Feb & Mar 2018

Max wearing to tight of a bra or one with underwire. My case with ds3 was I had a shapewear thing on and it was to high up and I went out for about 3 hours and skipped a pump by since I was used to pumping I got engorged. With ds4 I told my lactation consultant about this and she said don't pump. I was hurting myself by pumping every feeding because the more you pump the more you produce so I didn't with ds4 and I never got it.
Lola too funny!

Omg Lola that sounds soooo painful! So sorry that happened to you!!

Ash, that's what I'm thinking also. Just feeding no pumping.

Max & Ash-I did pump b/c I wanted to save milk, but you're very right...it's supply & demand!! The more feeding plus pumping, the more milk that can lead to engorgement! I have the Lanisoh Therapearl gel/bead pads to put on the bb's to help too...they can either be heated or chilled.

Max & Mommy-it was awful, but aside from being in pain, I had to be away from my newborn baby while in the hospital which made me SO sad. DH did a good job of taking care of DS1 & sent lots of pics!

HE diet really helps to get Boy? How much time it should be taken?

It does come and go but it's around for a large portion of the day. I bet it's just my milk ducts getting ready and colostrum forming. I have recently weaned my DS3 at 18-19 weeks so I wouldn't think my breasts need to change too much! They do seem to be getting bigger and that may contribute too. It's just not fun!

Lola, those gel pads just reminded me of something! When DD2 was born, I had a girlfriend come over that successfully nursed her three kids for a long time to help me. I was getting engorged in the beginning and she took my husbands tall work sock (clean lol), filled it with an entire bag of rice, and put it in the microwave. It was warm and because it was long, I was able to wrap it around my entire breast. Less than a minute of that and then I would nurse and it cleared the entire breast quickly! I think the heat is key (or was in my case). Just a cheap tidbit in case it helps anyone else! :)

That's a great idea max! Only one of my babies I was successful with nursing was Kolton my third baby. Nurses him for 15 months. Braxts I only made it for 7 weeks, but I was really depressed with him. My dad died the same day he was born and it took a real emotional turn on me. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...454a6b0a5a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9deef609ae.jpg pictures I got done a week after he was born. He was wrapped in my dad's shirt then I had the memory bear made out of that same shirt afterwards

So I really hope we are expecting this month! I figured out we would find out thanksgiving weekend what gender would be and my little girl is just hoping that santa will give her a baby sister for Christmas! So was thinking me and dh go and figure out gender and then the next day, if it's her baby sister have one of dh's coworkers dress up like santa and tell her that her baby sister will be here in May!! She would so love that and it'd mean so much to me being able to give her an early christmas present like that, one she longs for!

Oh Mommy - that would be awesome!! Are you taking anything this month?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mommy, omg losing your dad and having a baby on the same day?? I'm so sorry for your loss, that would have been so hard.

Fingers crossed SO hard for you....what perfect timing it would be!

I just did a relax approach this cycle Kat, so if it happens would be great for sure! Will test next Thursday!

Thanks Max, was the worse! So glad I have my little Braxton though, he's a character. Reminds me a lot of my dad for sure!

Thanks max! Hope this is the cycle!!

It just ups ur odd but people still get opposites while on it so it isn't a magic pill.
I am not sure of how long h need to be on it but i did it to my best for about 8 weeks and then 4 weeks of partial HE diet so round about 12 weeks

Max great tip!
Mommy that had to of been rough! And would make for a very emotional day! The bear is so cute! My mom makes these from old shirts and stuff. When will you test this month? Nm I see it now.
Sumbal I'm not sure what's recommended 12 weeks maybe?

Was an emotional roller coaster for sure. Thanks Ash! My friend Marie made it for me! She also used a pair of his jeans.

Hey, ladies! I've been reading if not commenting. Sounds like everyone is doing pretty well!

Going back to teaching this week is kicking my butt. No matter how much water I drink, I have no foot or ankle bones by the end of the day, even if I found time to sit too. Any suggestions for reducing swelling? It's prob just the heat and change in routine, but I thought I'd ask!

Hello all - so much going on with you all. I just got caught up on everyone. Too much to comment individually, but your bumps look so cute! I feel like a whale!

DS4 had a relapse Tuesday night and I was sick with the bug too, so I was out of work yesterday. DS1 started 7th grade today and DS2 started 1st grade! DS3 will start pre-school on the 5th. They are growing up so fast!!!

I had a rough morning with dropping off at school and finding the new bus stop. It is 0.5 miles away from our house and 4-5 different street turns to get there. I called the school's transportation department to see if they are adding in another stop because of all the new houses being built and was told no. They are moving the stops out of the subdivisions and onto the main roads "to increase efficiency" of the bus. I was livid and wrote to the Board of Trustees to see what can be done. That is not acceptable to have 6 year olds waiting on a main street for the bus. My DH was supposed to walk to meet the bus because we figured it was near the house. We were wrong and since DH walks with crutches, that is way too far for him to push a stroller. Now he has to drive to meet the bus. :( We may as well just take him to school at that rate. It has been a rough day to say the least.

Can't wai to see the next round of gender reveals happening in this group real soon!!!

Srg my neighbor wore compression socks laid down and put her feet up at the end of the day! I've never tried it but I'm going to this time.
Shan that's insane I'd be very angry I know here we pay school bus taxes [emoji849] so I would throw a fit! Luckily we live 5minute drive from the school.

Max, awesome idea! I agree, heat def helps!
Mommy-sounds like the perfect plan! Fx it works out! Yay for testing soon!! I'm sorry for what you went through with your DS & dad [emoji22] Very cool keepsake with the bear!
Srg-I can totally relate to going back to work! Not easy to get back into the early routine!!! Not sure what helps the swelling? I had bad swelling towards the end of my last pregnancy & had to sit with my legs propped up.
Shann-sorry that stinks getting the bug while preggo! And what a pain with the bus stop!
Sky-how are you?? Update when you can!
Nacire-I've been thinking about you [emoji173]

Thanks Lola! Hope everything is going good with you!

2.51cm, spot on measure wise, heart beating fast (he didn't measure velocity but it was pounding), and limbs wriggling..so emotional!!! :awe:

Hope all is well, we have a super busy day today :) we met with hubs at lunch to check out a people mover car, man it feels like a monster in size comparent to my Elantra, but it was spacious and comfy ..the girls loved it haha

30k for a 7-seater or 33k for a 9-seater with leather seats..it's surprisingly nice ;)
But will have to check out the Kia Carnival and the Hyundai too...different budgets, so trying it all out first, we don't need until early March anyways beforehand Bub comes ;) it was funny seeing hubs saying "we have 3 kids" to the sales guy lol

Congrats lmsm!! Too excited for you!!

Mommy2apples I'm so sorry about your dad. Your photos and teddy are just precious [emoji173][emoji173][emoji173]

Srg hope you find something to help with the swelling. It's awful when you feet swell up that bad [emoji853]

Shann that's crazy about the bus stop! Absolutely agree its unacceptable to have 6 year olds waiting on a main street for a bus! That's a scary af thought!

Kat I heard from sky a little while ago (maybe a week?) Need to reread my last pm with her and will update. She hasn't yet responded to my most recent message.

LMSM look at your gummy bear [emoji3][emoji7] I like the Hyundai Imax but Hyundai was one the manufacturers at the dealership I worked for so I may be abit bias [emoji6] the Kia Carnival looks good though and is popular which is a good sign :)

Kat just checked and my most recent message was sent 4 days ago so its probably been a bit over a week since I've heard from her. She was pretty busy and tired etc so I'm sure she'll update when we can. I've deleted all my nessage up to 2 days ago so I no longer have her most recent [emoji53] I'll message her again and mention you's are asking after her :)
