Thank you so so much for all the love and well wishes and welcomes for [name_f]Petra[/name_f], everyone!
Your week sounds so intense, @jenileigh. It’s no wonder you’re having a rough time of it now. I truly believe bed rest is so important and that bleeding is a vital sign that will show you when you’ve gone past your limits. I hope that you are able to just rest as much as possible. It sounds like that is really what your body may need, but I hope that doesn’t need to mean a hospitization away from [name_u]Salem[/name_u].
It sounds like you’re super close, @jenni_lynn91! I can’t wait to read the news of Magali’s arrival. So many little girls!! @PrincessShannon one of your twins is a boy, correct? And @pennysola you’re having a boy. @jky86 are you still team green? But everyone else has girls, right?
Things are still doing really well over here so far (nearly 72 hours in… 68 hours now). Milk is in. Dealing with engorgement has been the work of the last 36 hours and just trying to stay on top of the nipple pain. We have a [name_f]Monday[/name_f] am consult with the ped dentist for laser revision of her ties, and my first postnatal IBCLC consult (a home visit this time, thankfully) for [name_f]Tuesday[/name_f] so I’m hoping we can deal with these issues straight out of the gate, but just making due for the moment and getting through the weekend. She is doing so great, and the boys, too (though I’m seeing so little of them as they’re in their own little world downstairs). Everyone needs more sleep but I feel way more emotionally stable than during my first days with either of the big kids. The other shoe will drop at some point but it has been nice cacooning for the time being.
