Rough night (somewhat @ related)
For some reason tonight just feels like the shiit has hit the fan. I'm trying to help DH with his healthy eating since he got an ultimatum from his doctor on Monday that told him he has to go on a diet since his cholesterol is so high he is a heart attack waiting to happen. I know we caught it before anything serious happened but I still can't help but feel terrified that something is going to happen before we can get his levels down.
Today I went to a friends "meet the baby " shower. There were 3 babies there and Edmund seemed so far behind the other 2. They both were crawling and pulling themselves up on things and Edmund can't even crawl yet. The other 2 were 6 months and 10 months old.
Then tonight I came home to a post by a friend wanting to know remedies to help with breast engorgement and it just upset me because, even though I thought I had finally come to terms with it, I was never able to. Due to all the stress of Edmund's condition and the nurse telling me that I was feeding him wrong I never established a supply and just dried up. I still beat myself up sometimes thinking I could have done more to get it back.

I know it is SO hard not to compare with children. I have finally come to terms with the fact that Tman is going to do things his own way in his own time and that's that and has nothing to do with any other kids.
NOW, if I could only come to terms that ladies are popping out babies all over the place and I can't get pregnant again, we'd be good. Seriously, there are people in my church that have THREE kids all younger than Tman.
If it makes you feel any better, Tman was 9 months when he crawled and he didn't stand or pull up before then. AND, I never made enough milk to breast feed Tman either. I tried the feed, pump,supplement for a month and then couldn't do it anymore. You were dealing with so much more than I had to, so try to not be so hard on yourself.
TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.
Don't compare babies! It's hard but every child is different and your lil guy is AMAZING! If we all grew up the same way the world would be a boring place!
And as for breastfeeding, you did what was best for you and your family! Don't feel guilty for being a wonderful mom!
I hope you're feeling better about things.....
