jillywilly my 3yo DD is not doing so hot. Not terrible but not great. I am getting a TON of sass and lots of no! Add me to the baby not matching club. It’s all me, I can’t find a comfortable way to hold him with out suffocating him with my massive boobs.... grrr Happy Thanksgiving

My 3 y/o decided to stop napping the same week we brought the baby home. It’s been... not great.. for his behavior.

Is anyone's big kid(s) really struggling with the transition? I swear the only word W has said since we came home last week is "no." And his listening is basically non-existent. Coupled with an newborn that I'm really struggling to try and nurse and isn't doing so hot in the weight gain department, our first week home has been... rough. Yes, I am right there with you. DS2 is a tantrum throwing "no" saying mess. He threw a one hour tantrum yesterday where nothing was making him feel better. He just screamed and of course I was sitting in a chair nursing F and unable to really do much. Ugh, I just have to keep telling myself it will get better and this won't last forever.

Good luck with the testing letsgetphysio. I hope he’s able to get off the oxygen soon. Sorry to all the others dealing with a rough transition with older siblings. Right now DD is obsessed with her brother but he’s not home so she really doesn’t understand it fully yet. I am crossing my fingers that the real transition will go smoother than what I’m imagining. Girl just loves attention. Thankfully DS1 is at an age were he understands it’s just temporarily difficult while we adjust.

Had my 37 week appointment today. H and DD got to tag along. They both got a kick out of hearing the heartbeat. No progress from last week, which is fine. I need dude to hang out until at least Wednesday. Bad news was all of my ligaments and bones and pelvic whatever are shifting and separating and the excruciating pain at night is normal. Just gotta deal. Ugggggh. I can do it!
Add DD to the list of 3-year-olds having a rough go. Combination of threenager and big changes and HOLY ATTITUDE AND WHINING, BATMAN. The button pushing is intense. Commiseration. I haz it.

It’s all me, I can’t find a comfortable way to hold him with out suffocating him with my massive boobs.... grrr Happy Thanksgiving I'm sorry you're in this boat, too. For us it's that B is so sleepy, he's latching but has a hard time getting enough. And since we were in the special care nursery and he needs to gain back to birth weight still, we're in this horrible nurse, supplement, pump cycle. I keep telling myself it's temporary - after his next pediatrician appointment tomorrow I'll decide if I'm going to try and get him to just nurse or slowly wean off the pump and move to formula. So not that much longer, but it's exhausting right now.

Black Friday/Cyber Monday shopping over here. I have almost finished shopping for DS2 and we know what we are getting DS1 (none of it will ever go on sale). Just a couple more things to buy for both older boys then a joint book subscription for DS2 & 3 to get in early December.
I successfully got DS2 and DS3 down for a nap at the same time! If only DS1 (8 yo) would also nap... He is running around like a crazy person and keeps startling DS3. It doesn't help that he forgot to take his ADHD meds this am either.
Also, bought myself a Sakura Bloom blackout ring sling. I know I have a problem...

H is at the family cabin until Tuesday. Rifle season opens on Monday. It’s like a holiday around here. I’m overly jealous that he’s hanging and drinking with the guys while I’m hugely pregnant and stuck inside with a 3-year-old (so much rain).
I can’t wait to have this baby. I’m such an uncomfortable whiney pants.

Had my repeat NST on Wednesday and my contractions were gone which was good but she failed the NST so they had to send me for an US at a different location. We had plans to travel to my ILs for thanksgiving so DH had to pack for me (I gave very specific instructions but still..) it was very hectic. Thankfully she looked great on US and we made our way up to ILs. Had a nice thanksgiving. Had DS bday party yesterday and he had a blast. We plan on decorating for Xmas today.
Next NST is Tuesday afternoon. I have a feeling that these NSTs are gonna keep being an issue. I was at the doctors for 4 hours on wednesday. We shall see I guess!

I caught DD eating donuts in bed 😂 For a child who is her father’s twin, there are times when I’m reminded that she’s half mine. Hahahaha.

jense927 I always drank something really cold and sweet right before my NSTs to get him being active and his heart rate where it should be. Perfect excuse to have a cold Starbucks drink or smoothie!

My blood pressure has been a little high since we’ve been at the hospital. No other issues, but it looks like we may have to spend one more night here before we can go home. I’m really ready to get home and i know DD1 is missing us. Also I’m so over getting woken up all night by random people coming in and out!

Can anyone recommend a Facebook breastfeeding group to join where they don’t act like formula is the devil?
