Anyone have a cure for a super irritated nose and tons of sneezing that doesn't involve allergy pills? Ugh. I can't stop sneezing and don't want to risk anything affecting my milk supply right now

Following. My nose won’t stop running and it super sore. In a desperate attempt to help it feel better I put Vaseline on it a few minutes ago and plan to go to bed (I have to sleep sitting up because I am coughing so much and can’t breathe).

I hope you feel better soon! I am also afraid to take anything because I am nursing (not worried about supply but don’t want to take anything I shouldn’t for L).

For the sore nose, I used the Aquaphor we got for E's dry skin patches. I had tried Vaseline, lotion, coconut oil, all sorts of things but the Aquaphor really helped! I hope you feel better soon too! Luckily mine is just a crazy amount of sneezing, but sneezing kinda hurts right now, lol.

estrellita Vicks VapoRub and Boogie Wipes?

I was dragging my feet on leaving the house this morning. It's really damn cold, below freezing. And then the guys showed up to clean the gutters. Totally forgot it was scheduled, but perfect excuse to stay home longer. Although it sure must suck to be out there cleaning gutters in this weather.

Thanks! Why didn’t I think of Aquaphor- that stuff is amazing!

I hope your sneezing stops soon! Sneezing postpartum is not fun 🙁

I ordered a new laptop. Woot. My old computer is driving me crazy how slow it is so I'm very much looking forward to the new one.


We are having a good week around here. DH had a good interview and an offer should be coming. He also had a phone interview for a different position today which he said went well. He was thinking last night today would be a short day so I'm hoping it is. I'm so excited to hear more about the interview.


I'm feeling pretty behind on things in general. Everything is getting done but I feel like my list keeps getting much longer. My mom hasn't watched the girls since this summer so I asked her is she would watch them sometime next week so I can tackle the end of my Christmas shopping and start wrapping so I'm not feeling so anxious about it all. With all the uncertainty of job stuff all over again I just need to tackle some things I can control to keep my anxiety in check.

bk1, enjoy your new laptop and FX for a good offer for your DH!

I just sat down to pay bills and we are bleeding money over here. 'Tis the season. Ho ho ho.

((Hugs)) and prayers bk1! I hope your DH gets an offer soon! I also hope you get to tackle some of your list so you aren’t so anxious. I am behind too from being sick and it’s frustrating.

I am still really sick again today. So over this. I can’t take anything and I am not sleeping well from all the coughing. I even texted my old lactation consultant and she confirmed there’s not much I can do. DH has disappointed me this week too because he hasn’t been helpful as much as he can when he’s home and never once even offered to come home a little early so I could rest (or even asked if there was anything he could do to help). I told him I was disappointed over text today because he kept saying he can’t take time off work but then he texted letting me know he’s leaving work early for a dentist appointment.

I've got a couple groups on FB and honestly I do most of my online posting there. I debated quitting GBCN altogether but I do like checking in for updates and using GotP when pregnant.

On the computer note, we finally bought the laptop I said we were buying months and months ago! I'm using it to transfer pictures to my external hard drive to free up space in iCloud. For some reason my pictures & videos are taking up 95% of my storage space.  😁
