Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Did you just get re-inoculated, or is this a chronic thing? You poor kid. Nobody needs to be achy and stiff so soon after delivering a baby.
I got re-jabbed, as my immunity was gone. Le sigh.
Has she regained her birthweight yet? I don't expect you'll be a nervous mother, but still feel I should add that if she hasn't it's totally okay--very early for that, actually. I'm just being nosy.
Nah, but on Tuesday, she was up a couple ounces from Saturday, so she's gaining.
Assuming your milk supply is well established enough, and unless your doctor really wants her to go no longer than 4 hours, I wouldn't worry about waking her until it had been six hours, if it's just that one feeding she's inclined to delay, and since it sounds like she's making up for it, otherwise.
It's all morning feedings she's inclined to delay. The doctor said no more than four, and my boobs agree with that. I think we went five or six last night. Ouch.
I am over the mortification (thanks Cindy cause without admiting and talking about it tonight, I might have just been all obsessive thinking all night) and I suspect she will think it is actually amusing.
Feeling sleepy now. 'Night all.
Yay for expanding Tickybox! I hope you get some rest soon.

There you go. There's no sense arguing with doctors and boobs. I'd never thought about it being a low blood sugar period that made them all sleepyheadish.

Atta girl! I think Ben took longest, and of course, that's when I was most worried that I was going to do something (or forget to do something) that would cause him great harm. I was much more relaxed with Julia and Chris.

I'm telling you, it's a great, "How I got hired" story.
That is my pattern, with sleeplessness, Cass. I obsess over things I can do nothing about, especially at arse o'clock in the morning. Sleep well.

Cindy = Cass
Sleep well.
On my way... It is 3, but I am relaxed and feel like I can actually lie down and just go to sleep.
Thanks again for helping me see the Not!Fatal part of my calling to express interest.
edit: Puppycat is having issues. She found a spider on the ceiling. Which I just smooshed (fun with Ambien). She is now quite upset as not only can she not reach the spider, she can't
see
the spider anymore. In my defense, I showed her the squished spider. She just is meowing plantively at the ceiling. I think she wants the spider to resurrect and then come closer so she has a real shot at killing/playing with it. Poor sad puppycat.
Gronk. A couple of hours of sleep will have to do; I give up.
Tickybox! She has a gorgeous glow about her just like her mother.
Did I just miss Cass?
t pouts
I knew I should have gotten up earlier.
Such a beautiful baby! The pictures made me all sniffly. The first one is just so precious. I mean, they're all so precious, but that first one, it's a killer.
I hope Cass and Plei both got some sleep there. sj and Cindy, sorry you're up so early! Craziness. That was me yesterday. Thankfully, today I slept in bit. I needed the sleep after the week I've had.
Today I have to head out to my parents' place and let the woman that's watching the house back in. She locked herself out, poor thing. I figure while I'm out there I'll do some laundry and get the window air conditioner for the living room. We sure could have used it yesterday, but this way we'll have it when we need it again.
Lily is beautiful as is her mommy. She looks so tiny.
I'm up this morning getting ready to study some more for my test tomorrow. Not fun, but necessary, I guess. Last night I went to the "Baby Meets Bowser" class at the hospital. It was surprisingly helpful and the woman discussed all sorts of stuff I'd never thought of. So, it looks like we will be doing a bit of dog training around here. NOt much because they are pretty good, but some stuff that has never bothered me before might be an issue with a baby in the house.
vw, I am glad you got some sleep. I'm still awake. Doing some journal writing, watching Buffy, and probably thinking too much.
