I'm getting sick ugh I thought I was fine but I feel it coming. My mom is really sick right now so I probably am going to get what she has.. I really hope not because she has a fever and wheezing... Ugh. Also I am so scared Rhys is going to get sick.
We started Rhys on Nutramigen. He seems to be doing better but I am sad to stop nursing. I'm still pumping just in case but I might as well stop because I ate dairy today...
I'm having a hard time because first of all I needed the Csection and now I'm not going to breastfeed... I just feel like I'm failing him (I KNOW that's not the case- I just feel that way, it's hard emotionally.) especially because I probably could have cut my diet more (like cut the whole "top 8 allergens") but it was so hard for me and I was so stressed and scared to eat anything and he was just in pain. Ugh! It helps to see him feeling better but still... It's only been 4 days so we're both still adjusting. The worst is that at night he obviously wants to comfort nurse and it breaks my heart

I'm sorry you're going through that ladybug. You haven't failed that handsome little man in the least!!! I'm glad the nurtramigen seems to be helping him.
Tomorrow is our 17 week ultrasound!! Eek! Fingers crossed that these babies feel like giving up the goods!!

Oh but the one positive thing is we're going on a date this weekend! Since he takes the bottle fine and I won't need to pump so yay!
That's a great positive!
I did pretty much what your doing including the last minute c section. Tried going mspi but it didn't work. Pumped for awhile but eventually went to nutramigen. It was so hard but after a few weeks became easy. I hope it is the same for you. Hugs!

((Hugs)) I felt a lot of similar feelings when I had Natalie. I went into it wanting to have a natural birth and ended up with a c-section. Then, I had a hard time BFing and ended up switching to FF around 5 weeks. It is so hard to not have things go the way you would like them to, but PLEASE don't blame yourself. You're doing an amazing job. Regardless of how he got here, you brought your little guy into the world and that is an amazing thing. What he eats won't matter when you look back years from now. What will matter is how healthy and strong he is and how happy you both are. I know it really sucks to feel this way but you are not failing him at all. You're a wonderful mother.

My brother was diagnosed with Kienbock's disease today and I am really worried about him. Basically, the bones in his wrist are dying because blood flow has been cut off. I am trying to talk him into coming to louisville (he lives in Florida)to get a consultation at this world rebound place that specializes in nothing but hands. He is only 30!

I am so sorry! I hope he will come up and they can help him! T&p for him!

careyalis I hope your brother is ok and he can find a good doctor soon.
ladybug big hugs to you, you are a great mom! I'm glad R is feeling better!
We have officially had a 3rd failed dairy trial. Lily woke up a lot last night and had a terrible mucous filled poop today. I am pretty discouraged. I'm started to feel like this is probably a long term thing and I should just accept it. My little girl's tummy is so sensitive. She did have a tiny bite of my egg and didn't throw up, so that's good at least. Why did she have to get my tummy!? Will the new baby most likely be like this?

That's so exciting! Do you have any guesses?
Two boys is my strong feeling, but could be boy/girl.
And I'm cheating a little. I had the the genetic screening done ("Verify" I think) and it supposedly has the technology to determine gender for twins, but that portion came back as "inconclusive" however the nurse read the report to me and said it detected trace amounts of Y chromosome, so it's pretty likely/definite there's a boy in there. Two boys has been my gut feeling from the get-go though

Bummer. D still can't have dairy either. She can have it in baked goods but definitely no milk/cheese/yogurt/ice cream. Unfortunately R is more sensitive than she was

Same for Lil, she's ok with a cookie here or there but no straight dairy. I am a little scared to see if the new baby has it. It seems like most of the moms here have more than one kid with it, like it's very likely. do you give D a milk alternative? Now that L is weaning and she doesn't really like almond milk I don't know what to give her, besides coconut yogurt.

Ya she loves almond milk. Have you tried the flavored ones? Maybe start with that thrn transition to plain. She mostly drinks water though

OMG NO. I friggen ruined my H's football tickets that I bought for him. I doubt ticketmaster is going to replace them.
Fucccck
Oh shit. That sucks. I haven't printed the tickets I bought yet because I'm terrified they'll get ruined somehow. I know you said you bought them off someone but were the printed or actual tickets? If they're printed maybe you can find a way to reprint?
Lol there's a whole back story here but the funny part was that I Asked Ian if he knew who my two closest friends were and he named one and then said "wait - your real life friends or do your internet mommy friends count?" Haha so even he knows that we're all so close.
I really want to test tomorrow, but I only brought one test on vacation. Period isn't due until Saturday so I will try to wait until Friday!
Are you vacationing somewhere without stores?! Because you should definitely test tomorrow and then buy more!
Haha we are in San Francisco, so plenty of stores! I only brought one in hopes it would keep me from testing until Friday, but I now regret that decision. Maybe I will tomorrow, hmm I can't decide!
