I have to take R for a weight check today (20 miles from my home going one direction) and then to my OB's clinic (60 miles away in the other direction) due to the pain I'm having in my lower abdomen when I pee. So, lots of time in the car today.
R was up wide awake from 3 a.m to sometime after 5 a.m and up for the day at 6:30 a.m. WTF baby? Why do we need to be awake so much in the middle of the night/early morning? It's a good things he's as cute as he is. 😜

DH is wandering the yard with some landscaping people. We have major flooding issues on our property. Plus we are hoping to smooth things out and plant grass this year. We have a couple companies coming out in the next few weeks to try to figure out what this will cost us. We live on almost 6 acres that used to be farm land. The back 3ish acres of our property we are still letting the gentleman farm because we don't have much use for it at the moment. I know everything we want to get done is going to be expensive... I just hope it is reasonably expensive. I'm a little scared. Lol.
Baby has been freaking out this morning (and had an equally terrible weekend). She drifted off to sleep finally. Yay. I let the dogs out into the yard because they were barking because DH was out there without them. I was like seriously, you can deal with the dogs right now I am not listening to them bark, and they will be I serious trouble if they wake up my baby.

Good luck at the pedi and OB mattsgirl2004. Hopefully the drive goes smoothly and they can figure out what’s going on and you can feel better!

SO has been blowing the driveway for 2.5 fucking hours. I'm over it. B is over it. We've been inside for 4 days. My mom is home today too but just feeds into the bad toddler behaviour. She can not say no to him. He had a melt down demanding ice cream and I offered to make him an early lunch if he was hungry. I walked away when he threw himself on the floor shrieking and THEN SHE GAVE HIM FUCKING ICE CREAM. This shit happens all the time and she will not reign in the treats.

We have a pedi appt in a few hours....I should probably start getting ready now😂 It’s supposed to snow a bit here today and after a couple 70 degrees days last week, I’m fuming. The only way I’d be okay with some snow is if I can get out and get a pic of L wearing his super cute fuzzy bear snow suit that isn’t going to fit him next winter. I’m sure it will probably fit him perfectly in the middle of July but I’d probably lose my shit if it were cold enough for him to wear it then.

I hope your appointments go well today mattsgirl2004. Today was DHs first day back to work. My parents are here until Saturday, so I'm not solo parenting yet. I'm a little afraid for next week when I will though.

I finally caught his eye from the end of the driveway and waved him in. Now he's mad because he wasn't finished and when else is he supposed to do it? MAYBE AT NAP TIME. Which likely won't even happen now cause he's so wound up. I'm done with today.

My husband let me sleep from 10pm-2am but I never fell asleep after that. I just have so much anxiety about sleep that I can't relax and drift off. N actually slept really well last night and I was just laying there awake 😴

MIL has flown out and I’m tackling my first full day solo parenting. I thought we were doing well and moving along, but then I realized it’s taken me two hours just to get the toddler, baby, and myself fed and dressed for the day. What is going to happen when I actually have somewhere to be at a set time in the morning??

This was DS1 with juice last weekend at a birthday party. We don't give him juice so I am assuming my sister gives it to him when he goes out with her to play places. She can't say no to him regarding anything even if it unsafe.

My parents live with us so that we could manage schedules and save money but it's been so hard to enforce boundaries when he just runs to Nanny when I say no.

mattsgirl2004, hope both appointments go well and the time in the car passes quickly! leatherpants, be adamant about the meds. They are a godsend. Promise. snowmoon that’s so hard when a family member undermines your authority. Have you talked to your mom about it? My feelings are if your mom is alone and sneaks treats, eh, NBD, but if you are present, what you say goes. If she isn’t sure she can ask you.

WE HAVE MEDS.
I hope they work.
He’s also growing really well. He’s 8lbs 7oz which is almost 3lbs up from birth weight at 6 weeks old.

Not due until next week but the “are you in labor yet?” Texts have already started. Kill meeeeee. Block them all. Obvs you can’t but man those were the worst with DS1. Like everyone thinks you’ll keep it from them. Also, c’mon baby mermaid. You want a pony or not?

I just realized I didn’t check in practically at all last week. I don’t know where it went. It was a trying week here. DS1 is about to turn 3 and has the attitude to go with it. He basically has been rather dramatic about everything - if he doesn’t get his way it’s an epic meltdown. He hasn’t acted like this in ages. So we are dealing with that. Like we signed up for a multi sport class with him that’s an intro to several types of sports. Our first class was on Saturday and he was the only kid who did not listen. And screamed every time he was told to do something. Yeah. I had that kid. It was not fun.
Otherwise I’ve been feeling like a terrible parent with DS2. I still don’t really feel bonded to him. I feel like I should be so over the top in love with him by now and I’m just not there. DH reminded me I felt this way with DS1 early on. Maybe I have to admit to myself that I really hate the itty baby stage.

I’ll probably go way over and need to be induced with this one.

sunshinedaisies the itty bitty stage is the worst. I felt the same way until my kid could almost walk. Like, I loved her, but I don’t know if I liked her. She was so mean.

Maybe I have to admit to myself that I really hate the itty baby stage. My kid was a fucking nightmare for the first 6 mos of being 3. At some point he became human-esque again. He won’t be “that kid” forever. And honestly they are all “that kid” at some point. And I hope it’s ok to hate the itty baby stage. Because I think I do too. Like it’s ok if he’s sleeping soundly but the rest is kind of garbage. All this to say, hugs ❤️

katietopaz i am concerned about what it is going to look like when I have to get both boys and myself ready when I go back to work. Right now with everything being at 9:00 or later it hasn’t been bad, but getting out the door around 7:00 is going to be difficult. sunshinedaisies my DS2 is really dramatic and has epic meltdowns in public. It is embarrassing. I can’t wait to be done with this phase of his life.

I had my 6 week postpartum appointment today. My blood pressure was 110/60 which is low for me. It likely explains why I have been having headaches and occasionally feeling light headed. My BP meds were decreased so we will see if that helps.
