Monday, Jan 3 - Sunday, Jan 9

 I doubt he has a good latch. I try and try and am doing it wrong because he won't open wide enough! Arggh. The pain is excruciating. I need to go to the WIC's consultant soon. I've tried your suggestions and he's being really stubborn. You're right. I'll try the CDing when he's not around.
I'm having a serious problem evacuating. Moi ran out to get mineral oil and milk of magnesia which I took for the first two days at the hospital and evacuated a bit before checking out from the hospital. I drank the mix yesterday and today and still no evacuation. It's very painful because all of the toxic and venom are cooking inside and it's making my healing process a slow one. Multiplying the constipation with grape sizes hemmorrhoids it's not fun plus the inflammation in the surrounding area from the episiotomy and more.


Jan 9, 2011
I'm truly having problems with the updates on my phone! I have Gmail synchronized into my Android phone but it's not updating at all! I've been waiting for your e-mail and nothing. Now that I'm on the laptop, lo and behold, all the e-mails are there. GRRR.
I need to take the phone to the Sprint store which is like 30 plus miles away from here to see if I can get it updated.

Nursing is going good! I'm very hopeful! Thanks so much for your support. Thank God that hubby is supportive when it comes to nursing. He even bought a Rocking Chair which I will send you pics later. I was able to nurse him while I was out in the store. People give me looks but I think it's out of curiosity. I bought a used Bebe Au Lait nursing cover and it works great except for it gets hot when he's under the cover.

Abdiel drank from one breast yesterday and was full. I waited to see if he would drink again. Since he didn't, I pumped the full breast and got like 2 oz!!! :) So far, I've only stored 3 oz in the freezer, I need another ounce to store another 3 oz. I'm drinking MilkMaid Tea and it works I guess :)

Today, I would have been 40 weeks. Will post pics soon. I went on eBay and bought a video monitor for Abdiel, 6 pieces of the white membrane for my Medela Pump and a post partum waist belt. I weighed 123 lbs before pregnancy, 131 lbs pre-labor, 118 lbs post partum.

As far as CDing. Hubby doesn't want anything to do with it. He feels sorry that it's so huge on Abdiel. I changed him at least 8 times yesterday. I'm doing the angel wing fold with snappi. It's challenging when he cries because he's hungry but also peed and pooped. I've noticed that after CDing Abdiel, after a while, even if he hadn't peed or pooped, the prefold would feel wet inside. I really think that the prefolds hold more stink than sposies. I doubt that hubby has noticed that YET because I'm the one checking and changing his CDs. It's harder to check on the CD because I have to unsnap the cover, take one side of the snappi off before I can see anything. Hubby doesn't check it because he knows that it's not like a sposies, where he can just pull the gusset out a bit and is able to see poop or pee.

He also knows that I can't stand the sposies!

Oh oh, MIL is here. I'll chime back in later!


I love the burp cloths and wipes. Hubby doesn't particularly like to use it for bathing Abdiel but he folds the burp cloth in 4 and uses it as a pillow for Abdiel, he also uses it as a burp cloth, I use also use it to lay him on it while I nurse him in bed. We use them when we go out. :) They're very handy and cute!!
