thoseareradishes , that made me cry. Poor thing.

oneslybookworm , Nice job on your OWS! You are so inspiring to me, doing all of this with the baby. I had all these plans to run a half next weekend and do another tri this summer but...I am far too exhausted to train. My hope is a fall half and then more next summer. You are amazing.

Honestly, I couldn't do all this without J's help.  He's been amazing!  We're both in training now, so we don't see each other as much, but we work to make sure that the time we have together is quality over quantity.  But yeah...I owe it all to J, he gives me time to training (as I do for him), and that makes all the difference.

thoseareradishes , that sounds hellish. Your poor baby! Even if pain weren't an issue, I'd be raging that they didn't at least sedate my kid (if that was an option) or try something other than holding her down. Any kid would find that awful, but I seem to recall you saying E is pretty sensitive to new people and new situations, and I know that would have traumatized A as well.

Yeah she doesn't really warm up to new people very fast.  She also hates going to the doctor anyway, so future doctor visits should be fun.  I regret so much not making them stop.  Like, what is wrong with me that I didn't demand that they stop?  

It's not your fault. You were trusting the professionals to know how to do their jobs.

Oh Radishes, please don't regret it. You knew that what they were doing (placing the IV) was in her best interest. The situation was already incredibly stressful, and I don't know about you, but after such awful medical experiences where I and my baby were saved by competent doctors, I just tend to assume they know what they're doing. Like you said, the whole thing took maybe 10 minutes. This was not enough time for your brain to really process what was happening and decide to stop them. ((hugs))

cactuscookie, loira, thank you. It is so hard to tell myself that. Thankfully, aside from some sleep issues, she's doing really well. Yesterday, she tackled the cat (and laughed), bit me hard enough to leave a mark (and laughed), and shoved cat food in her mouth then speed away from me as fast as her little knees could carry her (and laughed, of course).

Haha, I'm glad she's feeling better! Nothing like a little head surgery to make you grateful that the baby is torturing the cat, huh?

My anatomy scan was this morning. It was fun to see the baby. I wasn't thinking and had a donut this morning and she was really squirmy through the whole thing, lol.

My H is here! Wheeee!

So happy for you loira!



So many hugs to you thoseareradishes, you are such a good mom for your little girl.

I can’t believe E is almost 3 weeks old, time is flying by. He sleeps through the night for the most part if we time his feeding perfectly. It also helps that his witching hours are 9-11 and is so wide awake at that point that by the time we go to bed he is exhausted. He is such a spirited little guy, has so much personality already and definitely shows his emotions. He definitely seems much more alert than I had expected at this point and loves going for walks so he can “look” around. Between H and my mom I haven’t had a day home alone with him yet but that will change Monday so wish my luck.

Breastfeeding still isn’t going well so I’ve pretty much been exclusively pumping which I am fine with.

I was in England last week for work. Had a good trip.

We are going to start iui again next month or in July, just depends on timing with our vacation.

S has her eye surgery this Wednesday, I’m scared 🙏😥 it’s an 1.5 hour surgery.

Sending good thoughts for your little girl's surgery starryfish. ❤️
