labor day
Rosie is still going through a super fussy time around 10p-12a. We have tried hylands colic tablets - they sometimes seem to work - and tried gripewater too - though she seems to spit out most of it…She just needs a change of scene every 5 min or so, then she eventually settles down and sleeps great - most times I don’t even remember waking to nurse in the night!
Re: dirty fingernails - I dont know hoe rosie’s nails get so dirty! I have been trying to keep them short and just gave her another bath yesterday - She is getting so chunky - it was hard to try to clean between the folds in her chubby neck and thighs…
Our midwives had a “Labor” Day picnic yesterday for all past and present clients - I thought is was a really cute idea and it was great to show off our girl and keep in touch with other mamas we had met through the office and our birth classes.
Joe and I had a great dinner on Sunday for our anniversary - we ate at the Townsend - where we got married - there were 2 other weddings going on that night - so it was fun to watch and re-live our big day. rosie was a perfect angel, slept for the first 1/2 hour, then I nursed her for 1/2 hour, and she slept the rest of dinner and all the way home. While I was nursing at the table, a hotel staff person came up and told me they were getting ready to lead the wedding guests and wedding party right by our table to the back room for dinner - at first I thought she was going to ask me to stop bf - but she said “I just wanted to let you know” - so I stayed put but did bring the blanket around rosie up a little closer to her face to ensure you couldn’t see any boobage. Most people walked right by us without looking - a couple people noticed and smiled - and one lady walked up and very loudly said “good for you” and gave me a big smile and thumbs up! I thought it was so cool and made me feel great! I looked at joe and he said “its like you are part of a cult” - I said “I am!”
I have been having some milk leakage - but usually only when nursing - the non-latched on nipple will leak - and I get leakage from both when going to the bathroom - weird huh? I have some reusable breast pads and I just got some lilypadz to use at my sis’s wedding…I usually dont use any pads at home, and I sleep topless for easy nursing, so leaking is not really a big deal - I usually just mop up the drips with the topsheet
