I had my postpartum checkup today. My doctor strongly discourages my getting pregnant again. Actually, his words were more to the point of DO NOT get pregnant again. He said my body can’t handle it. He even went so far as to call a urologist friend of his to find out how much the cash price is for a vasectomy. I wasn’t wanting more kids anyways, but it kinda sucks to hear that I can’t regardless. The plan is for Mike to get a vasectomy this year after we get our tax money. What a fun way to spend that! We can’t afford for me to get the mini-pill and I can’t get an IUD due to uterine problems. My doc said to schedule that vasectomy soon.
Joley had her one month appointment and she isn’t gaining the way they would like. She is now getting a bottle of breastmilk in the evening and I am doing compressions any time she nurses to try to get more hindmilk into her. Hopefully she gains for her appt on Thursday so we can see that this is working. I don’t want to have to supplement with formula when my supply is so good. We’ll see how it goes on Thursday I guess.
Pumping sucks. That is all I really have to say about that. I wasn’t sore anymore and now am feeling soreness again from the pump. I bought larger shields and that has helped some. I guess I will get used to this change too. I am having to pump 3 times a day to get enough milk for one bottle. ugh
She is crying again thanks to her Daddy coming in and then yelling something to one of the kids outside. Yesterday was pure hell from him picking her up every time she wimpered. She learned pretty quickly that she will be picked up by her Daddy. Sadly, I can’t pick her up with every little whine so things were rough yesterday. I was able to get nothing done all day. I am going to have to wear her all day if this continues.
It is snowing here. Although pretty, I hate snow. It is such a mess and school gets called off. lol I am betting the kids will be off tomorrow (like today) and I am dreading it. I can’t wait for warmer weather.
I swear… once I get her calmed down so I can do something, someone comes and ruins it. UGH!!!!!!
