Nope I foolishly thought it would be okay since I haven't bled for a while. I guess I'll see how I feel when I get back to town.
Definitely call the doctor if the pain continues. I had a forth degree tear, but I was not cleared for sex at my 6 week appointment, and my bleeding had stopped.
@notquiteblushing I was the same way. The first PP sex at 8 weeks was ok as it happened, but I was SO swollen and sore afterwards. I also had bright red bleeding that was heavy enough I thought it was my first PP period So I told DH we needed to wait awhile before trying again. We waited another month (so 12 weeks PP) and it was fine.
ETA: I saw you're only 4 weeks PP! No wonder you're sore! Are you even cleared for sex? Take a breather, try again in a month at least.
My kid has been waking at 11 pm almost every night and I can't get him back to sleep so I end up with him sleeping with me. I'm so tired. I think canines are the problem.
Mine does this too, 10:30-11 every night. It's so frustrating because I've just about fallen asleep at that point and it wakes me up. I go in and check on her if she hasn't calmed down in 10 minutes or so. If she hasn't, she's usually pooped or wants water. Can you preemptively give Motrin before bed?
I picked up Name of the Wind last week. I started reading it and was like, "OMG this is dumb. I'm not going to read this."
Then I read your GR review and I was like, "Well, if page likes it, then I should probably keep going."
OMG I'M OBSESSED. OBSESSED.
I was pissed I had to watch Clueless last night because I just wanted to read it. lol
Are the second two books in the trilogy just as good?
ETA: I just read that the third book doesn't come out until 2016. Fuck.
I love that trilogy. Well, the first two books, at least, since I've been waiting on the third book for FOREVER. I'm going to need to reread them before the third one is released, but I'm not starting them until there's an actual official release date because it keeps getting pushed back.

Yeah I've given advil the past 3 nights before bed. Sorry you're dealing with this too!
At a wedding months ago my cousin mentioned that his FI is moving to Phoenix over the summer and they'd be driving. I casually mentioned that our house is on their way and we'd be happy for them to stay here one night on their way out. Then totally forgot about it because we made no concrete plans.
Well, he emailed me last night to say they'll be here Thursday!
My house is a wreck because I'm tired and lazy and have two kids home all day. I haven't actually cooked a meal in two weeks, so I'll have to get the motivation to do that. (They plan to arrive shortly before the kids' bedtime, so I don't want to rush right out the door to a restaurant with hungry and tired kids. I'd rather put them to bed then cook something for the adults)
Plus I feel like poo today. Every time I fell asleep last night DS2 woke up. I went to bed at 9:45, he woke up at 10:15. DS1 got in our bed at 2 so I went to the guest room and fell back asleep at 3. DS2 woke up at 3:30. At 5 I woke H up and made him take over and I slept until 7:30, but still definitely not enough.
We are going to a local amusement park today, just the boys and I. I love summer so much and am sad that there is only about a month left until the weather starts changing here. I panicked about the end of summer last night and booked us a week to camp at a local state park in a yurt (LOL) since there were no cabins available. My love of summer is debilitating sometimes.

I missed all of the 90s movie talk last night because I started Friends on Netflix and was on season 2. So dumb because I have a gazillion shows to watch, but its comforting and easy. And I don't remember much of Season 2! Once I get to Season 4 I'll probably stop.
Today's going to be busy. DD (2 weeks) has an early intervention evaluation at 10:30 & a pediatrician appointment at 4:30. We have to stop by H's job to show her off & figure out when he's going back to work. I have to make appointments with a neurosurgeon & lactation consultant.
And I'm focusing on breastfeeding DD. She will nurse, but she prefers pumped bottles. It's like she's too lazy to BF exclusively for all her nutrition, so I've been pumping too & following each nursing session with a bottle. I'm sick of that already, so hopefully I can see a lactation consultant soon & get some help with BFing.

I think it must be between her sleep cycles or something. It's been like this for almost 8 months.
I'm so disappointed in my Medela Freestyle. Time to pull out the PISA again.
After using a PISA for a few weeks, I tried to use my freestyle this weekend. It's just not as good. Period. But I like having it for pumping while doing other things.
I have exactly one week until a big project I'm working on is supposed to execute, and I'm running into a wall with a few last minute things I need to finish up. It's seriously stressing me out and I don't feel well equipped to handle it today. Somebody help me be an adult!
Whatever is wrong with my husband's throat (he's in with the doc now) I hope he gets meds for it because he is testing my patience. I think this may be worse than the man cold.

lol. Welcome to my world.
I'm not a big fantasy reader but it's an amazing series. The second book is better than the first IMO. I actually reread them both this year and I NEVER EVER reread books.
I can't wait to hear what you think when you are done!!

The last 2 nights DD (2.5) has flipped out when we put her in the crib. WTF kid, you've been going down happily for months, please don't start this now!
Four weeks tomorrow and yes I had third degree tears.
I had a lot of pain and some bleeding when we tried 6 weeks PP (after a third degree tear, and before being cleared) and I was so worried I'd messed something up. But when I told the NP at my appointment the next week she was like, "No big deal; that's totally normal! Try different positions!" So hopefully it's the same for you.

Okay I think I will get it too. I loved unbecoming.

There was a snake in our garage this morning. Ugh. A super tiny one but gross. The door was only open for like 5 minutes between when I ran outside and when H found it.

Sometimes I'm jealous of my H. He has a job that he loves and a kid who's interest in him wavers. He gets to do just the fun side of parenting while I'm stuck in the drudgery as the default parent pretty much 100% of the time. After my failed sleep in this morning, he went back to sleep and had a 3 hour nap. I just woke him up and kicked him and L out of the house for a bit so I am getting a little break.
Disclaimer- this is just how I feel at this particular moment after a particularly rough night. H does contribute in a lot of ways and I know L's strong mama preference is difficult on him too. I'd probably be really sad if the roles were reversed.
If your kid had a really strong mommy preference, when did s/he outgrow if?

I don't have any helpful advice, just commiseration. I'm the default parent too and it's difficult. DH isn't home nearly as often, so when he is, it's a treat and we plan ALL THE FUN THINGS because I want to maximize our family time.
So he often gets to enjoy the best parts of DS, going out doing fun things. Then on the days he's not around, I'm dealing with trying to grocery shop with a beast child and DH just doesn't get it sometimes.
DS and I are going out to eat with other daycare parents/kids and the teachers from his class tonight. Lord help me, I don't know any of the parents.
Somehow, my introverted self (and extroverted child) got placed in the most social toddler class at daycare (there are 3 toddler classes). In just the past week, there have been 4 out of daycare events where everyone coordinated FB events and hung out - dinners, birthday parties, a cook out, etc.
I've avoided all of them because, seriously? I barely see my husband 4 nights a week, I don't want to hang out with daycare people 4 nights/days a week outside of daycare. But I'm officially going to be the rude one if I decline again. Plus, then I'll feel all butt hurt when I'm not invited in the future because I'm crazy like that.
So it's his teacher's last week and then she's moving out of state. I'm sucking it up and going. But that is not my idea of an enjoyable Monday night.

kdubs923, I think part of it is just a symptom of having a shift working H/dad who just isn't around much. It's so tough sometimes as you know. Thanks for the hugs and wine. It's nice to know I'm not alone.
