My name is Lizzy. I'm 20 years old, happily married, and have a handsome toddler son named Desmond and a beautiful newborn girl named Athena. God is my guide, and my family is my life.

Friend: Hey, you up?
Me:

Athena, once again, is still up... It's been days. I'm so tired.

I need some encouragement here please.
My little Athena is a month and a half old. She is failing to thrive... It's a tough thing to hear. She's actually smaller now than she was when we left the hospital. She wasn't a preemie, and she's eating good. I know because she has 4-5 poos and 7-8 pees a day. She's exclusively breastfed, never even touched a bottle before. I've met with a LC and her pediatrician has looked at her, She's not latching easily but when she does, she stays on good and eats ...

The infamous boob death grip 😵😵

Sacrificed an extra 45 minutes sleep to come out to the living room and play guitar hero to unwind and of course by the time i got the guitars synced and the game ready, I heard crying over the baby monitor.

Havent really slept longer than 2 hours a night total since Athena was born. She never sleeps and when she finally does, then my son (who used to always sleep through the night 12+ hours) wakes up for 2 or more hours at a time. My husband is a literal corpse when asleep and wouldn't know if he caught on fire, so I'm on my own. You can't "sleep when the baby sleeps" if you have 2 babies that never sleep at the same time. I have mastasis from my low iron due to blood loss and it feels like a milli...

Things haven't been good between my husband and I since the new baby came. I'm doing everything and I'm the only one taking care of the kids...I'm tired of crying all the time. I'm tired of being alone constantly, I'm tired of the pain and suffering I'm going through daily. I'm just tired, period. I want everything to stop.

Moms! How do you fatten up your breast milk? Athena is getting sick because of how low fat content my milk is.

I finally had Athena Joan!!!
Athena was born Wednesday, May 10, 2017. I went in for an induction at 5:00 AM because my labor had to be seriously controlled due to what happened during my pregnancy. I was 75% effaced and 3cm dilated when I went in and they started the pitocin drip at 6:30. Contractions started immediately and were roughly 7 minutes apart but not very painful. At 8:30, my midwife got there and was going to break my water but it broke on its own while she was in the room. I was al...

I've had issues with my financial advisor not listening to me since I got her this year. I told her I was going on leave and she said it didn't matter. Got everything all done today, all 50 million pages signed and turned in... Asked her since I'm going on leave for 4 months if I still had to pay the $50 a month those months. She then tells me all the financial aid I filled out is void because I'm going on leave and I'll have to redo it in August when I come back... 😭😭😭😡😡😡😕😕😕
