10stix 2weeks repeat skip to main skip to sidebar 10stix 2weeks repeat tuesday march 18 2014 not as easy as it looks in the midst of the grief of loosing w s dad we are also being thrown a loop on the feeding front baby j is latching in fact he has a great latch and w s body is built for nursing supply and shape wise but there is a disconnect on the sucking swallow front j will suck suck suck but isn t pulling milk so after 20 minutes of nursing may only be getting 3 of an ounce queue less then ideal weight gain and the stress of a pump pump pump pump schedule and the feel of failure associated with supplemental formula feedings maybe its tongue tie going to see a specialist tomorrow or more of a developmental issue that will resolve when he is bigger and stronger but whatever it is it has meant that we have been bottle feeding bottle washing bottle drying and as w said she didnt sit shiva she pumped shiva all last week i know these issues will revolve themselves or they wont and we look back at this time in 3 years as a minor blip the boy is growing and sleeping and seemingly happy but while we are in the moment it feels hard posted by e at 2 08 pm 10 comments monday march 10 2014 saying hello and goodbye baby js naming ceremony was saturday morning ws dad passed away on sunday morning in the midst of the newborn haze jaundice issues gas reflux there is also the crushing grief we knew it was coming and feel blessed that it happened quickly peacefully and at home but it s still so so hard especially when i think about izzy her favorite person in the whole wide world was her zayde posted by e at 6 54 am 4 comments saturday march 1 2014 he is here born on february 28th 11 16am a hefty 9 73lbs and 21 5 in w is a rockstar it was a long labor that started on his due date wednesday night with hours and hours of pre labor but ended with only 23 minutes of pushing posted by e at 1 37 pm 8 comments wednesday february 26 2014 due date here we are at our due date with nada we saw the midwife yesterday and she pronounced w s cervix as non laboring she was 1 cm dilated yeah membrane sweep but still quite long and high hmmm we are both so excited to meet this little guy and w grows increasingly uncomfortable but we are trying to stay relaxed or zen as my mom would say speaking of my mom she arrived on saturday night to help out with izzy no and during labor tick tock its fantastic to have an extra pair of hands izzy loves the new audience and my mom is in heaven spending so much time with her so its a win win win induction scheduled for next wednesday another weeks feels so far away but this is just one more reminder that kids are unpredictable so there you go little bug posted by e at 5 09 am 1 comment monday february 17 2014 9 days the title of a previous post from one of my favorite bloggers played in my head all weekend is this our last weekend as a family of 3 w is 28w5d with no signs of labor so my guess is no but who knows izzy continues to delight and frustrate us with her sense of humor and spirited commentary on the world and sadly w s father continues to battle with illness so we have had our plates full but we are ready for them to be even fuller i cant wait to meet this little guy that i feel brushing up against my hand when i knock on w s belly i lay in bed on saturday morning for an hour reading the new yorker and thought how different life will be in a few days and we are ready and excited posted by e at 7 44 am 4 comments wednesday february 5 2014 cooked we are 37 weeks fully cooked but likely staying put for a few more weeks we are getting a snow dump today so beautiful and thank goodness izzy is with her grandparents on wednesdays so w and i can crank through the mountains of work we want to get through in the next 3 weeks izzy has decided that she will not be vacating her crib anytime soon she is not interested at all in her big girl room bed we have been incredibly busy as of late see mountains of work but there is a light at the end of the tunnel and we are in full nesting mode re considering nursing any thoughts experiences with non gestational nursing ive read of some success of moms who were previous nursers inducing lactation just through stimulation thinking i might give it a try to supplement share the load getting excited to meet this little guy who still doesn t have a name oh ya and izzy turned 3 posted by e at 8 13 am 3 comments wednesday january 15 2014 busy busy it s been nearly a month since my last post sorry for the long hiatus it s not that i don t have any updates but that we have been busy beyond belief i ve been swamped at work throw in a few work trips to dc and a wedding for one of my best friends last weekend travelled solo to park city as well as the normal holiday chaos and well there you have it w is a champ acting as a single parent during a two week school vacation extended due to polar vortex while 30 weeks pregnant it s not fun but we are on the down hill slop all of my pre baby travel is over and my work is settling back to normal just as we hit 34 weeks ws pregnancy has been so different than mine i was getting biweekly ultrasound by 28 weeks to check on izzys heart while we haven t seen this little guy since the 18 week anatomy scan i spent xmas in the er due to severe dehydration that we thought were contractions while w is soldering on a bit more uncomfortable but doing well by all measures of a normal pregnancy the biggest difference of course the biggest difference is that we have a toddler to distract us from our excitement of waiting for this new baby izzy turns 3 in a month but wow 3 is hard the highs are higher for sure but the struggles are harder too spirited stubborn and vocal are qualities that swing both ways she has had a strong preference for w almost since w got pregnant and my work schedule has only exacerbated it meaning that even when we are both around she is constantly asking w s for attention she is really excited to be a big sister but i know it s going to be a rocky transition the move to her big girl room with big girl bed stated in november has completely stalled out and we have just let it in the midst of all of this ws fathers cancer continues to spread and we are worried about what the next year holds we are also crazily embarking on a remodel because tearing a wall off the house for an addition while at home with a newborn sounds ideal right so yes a lot of unknowns but despite this we are feeling so lucky to be where we are and can t wait to meet this little guy in 6 weeks posted by e at 4 57 am 2 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom pages home timeline our favoriate place on earth about us we are pretty much your typical bi coastal ttc lesbian couple splitting our time between the boston area while w gets her doctorate and the bay area we have a kd who we love but lives 2 000 miles away which makes this process even more of a logistical nightmare after more months than we would have liked i got pregnant in may 2010 using the turkey baster method and we welcomed our daughter izzy in feb 2011 ttc 2 0 kicked off in spring 2012 this time with w s body and frozen goods supplied by kd here we go again blog archive 2014 7 march 3 not as easy as it looks saying hello and goodbye he is here february 3 january 1 2013 79
