oh and in regards to the royal baby...I literally could not get myself to the bathroom for at least 12 hours post-partum and I had a totally uncomplicated birth. A big hell no to heels tyvm. I cannot even imagine. I know it's typical to go home quickly and, she's probably being well cared for, but that 30 minutes of smiling and being public would be so freaking hard. I am struggling today, two weeks later, oy. I hope she's laying in bed and resting now.

Yikes sorry, dizzycooks. Fist size is time to call the midwife told me. I was 😱 at golf ball size so I can't imagine not calling for fist size.

I can’t imagine what kind of mega pad Kate is wearing leaving he hospital 7 hours after giving birth. With DS1 I was still pissing myself at that point.

just got done with my 6 wk check up. my mom came to watch the girls so i had a little time to myself. i made a bottle for her to use just in case while i was gone, but she didn’t need it. thinking about having mh give it tonight while i take a bath and read a book.
it was dd1’s first trial run to the care center/school were sending her to today and drop off was terrible, but she didn’t want to leave when it was time for me to pick her up. i guess that’s a win.

dizzycooks I’m good just tired. Delivery was fast and furious but I got lucky and didn’t need stitches so I got to go home fast. I can’t believe my lady parts are still intact.

Oh man, we finally pulled out and put together the swing last night, and I got the best nap out of the baby this afternoon. The auto-rock on the RNP must just not be enough motion for the guy.
I know she has a team to make her look fabulous, but I still can’t believe poor Kate out there in heels just hours after giving birth again. And walking gracefully enough you can’t tell she’s probably rocking the mesh undies and multiple pads. I was waddling for days.

I was hoping the royal baby would be a girl. Mostly because I wanted to keep up the illusion I had built in my head that ArielMermaid and Kate were the same person.

Oh glad to see this thread, I thought I lost track of days! We are on day 2 of potty training DS1. Send all the good vibes my way please and thanks. (He’s actually doing pretty decent on recognizing he has to go, he’s just scared to actually release anything. Like he went 4 hours yesterday without peeing despite tons of fluids). DH and I are trading off watching the baby and DS1. I’ll give you one guess which one is easier! YOU ARE POTTY TRAINING WITH A NEWBORN?!? Colour me impressed. That might be my potty training PTSD speaking too. Don’t be impressed. There might be something wrong with me. Or that may be the wine talking. Did I mention I needed wine after today 😂😭

mattsgirl2004, I went for a walk today too and discovered out new playground does not have benches yet. I am legit dying over here. How big is too big for clots? I am a little concerned. I am resting quietly on the couch now, but obviously that won't last long as the kids will be up from nap soon. ArielMermaid, Congratulations! That seems fast to go home. How are you feeling? yianna, What's the conference for? Is anyone going with to help you with baby or how does that work with a wee one at a conference. Baby can be with me the entire time! My bestie will be there too so I have help!

We had N's 1 month Dr visit. She gained a lb in 2 weeks! She's basically a giant.
I'm feeling very annoyed with everything today for no reason.

I forgot how long it takes to get ready and out the door with a new little one.
Feed and rock baby, lay him down, take fast shower, baby wakes up mid-shower crying, change baby's poop diaper while soaking wet in a towel, lay baby back down, get dressed, fill 2 year olds sippy cup, put deoderant on, baby wakes crying again, hold baby and brush hair, get 3 year old a snack,brush teeth while holding baby, make bottle and sit down to feed baby...
This has been my morning so far. It's taken me more than an hour to just get to this point. I still have to finish getting myself ready and dress my kids too. All of this just to go grocery shopping. I'm already exhausted, lol.

mattsgirl2004 You are a rockstar. I thought it took forever for me to get Dd to preschool this morning, and I just had two kids to worry about getting ready. I had to call my dr today. Last night DH was helping me take the tape off my incision and it looks like one of my stitches ripped. Waiting to hear back on what I should do. We put neosporin and a bandaid on it but I’m not sure if I need to go in or do something else.

auri So from being a rockstar! My life is such a chaotic mess right now, it's almost comical. Lol. I'm trying to see the humor in it all or might have a minor breakdown. ETA: I meant to comment about your stitches situation. I hope it ends up being okay and not a big deal.

I "liked" just because I get it and glad I'm not alone in the chaos of daily life. I know it gets easier as they get older. Just have to remind myself of that from time to time.

OMG I just peed myself. 😡 I thought I was over that. I sneezed really hard while nursing in bed and I must say that the Always Infinity pad saved me from being a pee covered mess. Those things are a scientific miracle - how do they hold so much?!?

I think we may have a bad latch. My nipples are a mess. I need to try to correct this now that I’ve realized.

ETA: I meant to comment about your stitches situation. I hope it ends up being okay and not a big deal. I still think your a rockstar. Your keeping 3 small humans alive, and two of them are toddlers/preschoolers. They can be difficult on their own without the added stress of sleep deprivation. My dr did just call me back about the stitches. Said as long as it doesn’t look infected that it’ll be ok. Thinks that maybe that stitch just dissolved a little early.

Don’t you just hate when you sit down to check off your to do list and rest with a movie and discover you’ve completed exactly ONE thing? Ugh. This is not good.
