Home with Sirris
Well we are home now. Sabastian is having a hard time, with it all. He got a cold from the twins, and overall is grouchy. Then we add in Sirris and he is a mess.
He is acting like he is being replaced, and in a way he has been. I mean a new little guy has taken his place in my arms, and sometimes I have to hold and feed him. I am trying to find balance, but at only 24 hours in, it is hard.
It is amazing how much bigger he got overnight. Sabastian was so tiny, until a new little 8 pound man entered my life.
Sirris is awesome, simply awesome! I am in love with him. ALthough he needs to nurse more.
I have thrush again, and I am upset because I asked for the diflucan to prevent it, and now I have it, but still I can not convince the dr to give it to me.
Anyway, some notes about sirris and the birth and the hospital stay.
He wasn’t descending because he was in the posterior postion, and was getting stuck. WHen they did the pitocin, he only climbed higher and higher in my stomach. He was so high by delivery he was litterally pushed out by 2 nurses. I am bruised from all the pushing.
He is still remarkably calm. It is amazing.
I hated the morphine, it made me very ill.
I am going through withdraw from the norco since I have been home, I have the worst headache. I am still on some, but not nearly at the same levels as the hospital.
Sirris does have a lip tie. I am still on the fence about his tounge.
WHen he was born the nurses commented on how unmistakable it is that he is a boy. Well there is a reason for it. He has something called water on his testicles. His testicles are HUGE. I mean like 2-3 times the size you would expect. Hopefully they will go down. They should. He has the same penile condition as his brother as well.
I should be getting to bed, my iron is down to a 6, and I am simply drained.
My internet is not working on my computer, so who knows when I will update again.
Tomorrow Travis is back at work and I am home with the kids alone… WIsh me luck.

*hugs* I know it’s hard right now, but Sirris and Sebastian will have so much fun together! Give Sebastian loads of snuggles! Brynn would be outraged if I brought home a baby. I can imagine!

Whats a lip tie? i know what tongue tie is but not lip. And i needed diflucan for a skin rash when i was BF’ing and my doc wouldnt give it to me. They “say” its safe while nursing but its a really tough drug on your liver. It really doesnt seem safe for nursing. Maybe thats the reservation. Meds and nursing is something thats not been studied as much as it should. Hes so gorgeous. Rest up!

It’s hard for older children to get used to younger ones. Just try to make them feel included 🙂 And congrats on the baby!

My boys had the ginomous testicles, too. That eventually went down. Sabastian will adjust eventually. Glad to hear that you’re home and slowly getting into a routine.

RYN: I’m not worried about CPS coming, because I know there’s no abuse and I know for a fact that my house is clean enough to not warrant any further action. It’s the having some stranger invade my life because the principal wants to get up in my business.
