I’m so close to my wits end with these kids during bedtime
They’ve woken the baby up FOUR times tonight and the baby hasn’t even been asleep for four hours yet. Whyyyyyyyyyy do they refuse to listen to me. It is so frustrating.

@mamainottawa Where in Missouri? Happy to lend you a car seat while you’re here if you’re nearby so you don’t have to buy one here!

[Emma @dancelife314]

My favorite time of day truly is rocking baby boy to sleep. Just me and him soaking up the time together. It makes me so happy.

@BlessedMess_ Had the same thing happen to me! he did not flip&I chose no ECV bc he was so big &there were more risks to him than me during the procedure&it didn’t feel safe for me. Don’t let it consume you, I did and I regret it. I hope he flips for you! The section wasn’t as bad as I thought

Boobie babies are a different breed and I love it

[Emma @dancelife314]

This has been the best postpartum experience I’ve had out of all 4 kids. I am just so lucky to have this sweet, sweet baby added to our family. I just can’t believe he’s here and I’m always just so happy to the extent of happy tears.

I nursed baby boy twice on the same side within an hour of each feeding and I was still sore from being slightly engorged, so now I’m pumping. Let’s see how much remains post nursing.

Discovering hands has made nursing milk with a side of finger. Talk about major distraction

[Emma @dancelife314]

Last time I worked the bingo dance fundraiser baby boy only ate 1.5 oz over about 6/7 hours. I work it again tomorrow and have been pumping to have some bottles stored for my husband tomorrow, but I am so anxious he won’t eat as much for that long period of time again.

[Emma @dancelife314]

I’m actually so emotional that my baby is almost 11 weeks old 😭

[Emma @dancelife314]

I pumped on the way home and then immediately proceeded to spill it all over the counter when I got inside

[Emma @dancelife314]

I don’t mind holding my babies all day long when they’re babies. Little guy sleeps in his bassinet all night so I love the contact naps during the day

[Emma @dancelife314]

The way Charlie moves his little feet when he eats is something I never want to forget. It’s one of my favorite things about feeding him

[Emma @dancelife314]

Literally cannot keep my eyes open 🫠

[Emma @dancelife314]

First the 5 year old wouldn’t go to sleep. Now the dogs will not stop barking at each other. From 3 floors away I can hear them like they’re in the other room. It’s almost 2 AM and I have to be up soon with the baby and I’m going crazy

[Emma @dancelife314]

Baby boy started to wake up and his bink put him back to sleep but now I’m thinking I should just wake him to eat… but idk 😭

[Emma @dancelife314]

Mastitis twice in one month!? MISERY. 😭

[Emma @dancelife314]

I fear I may be coming down with mastitis again 😭

[Emma @dancelife314]

3 wake ups and one full outfit change so far tonight. How his diaper came off under his sleeper while sleeping I’ll never know

[Emma @dancelife314]

Well… up at 3 and nursed until 4. I pumped for a few minutes on my other side and looked in the bassinet and now baby is wide awake? Sir, please go to sleep
