OK so maybe I'm starting to nest.
I pulled all 5 of my previous nursing clothes out with my old beat up nursing bras and tossed them in the wash. Trying to get my hospital bag together. I started purging the linen closet of products we don't need / trying to make things super accessible.

Hey there! I caught DS cold. So fun. I need to not be sick when i have this baby. In like 9 days. After colds turning into sinus infections and ear infections this pregnancy I don’t have a lot of hope. Ugh. My parents started their drive. They’re taking 3 days to drive down and will be here Wednesday. DS somehow slept until 8:30 this morning AND napped for an hour on his own in our bed. That NEVER happens. I made buffalo Mac and cheese with the left over buffalo chicken dip w burgers for dinner. So good. I made a ton so I’m freezing 3/4 of it. We’ve just been relaxing all day and watching football. It’s been nice. 38 week appointment in the morning! Also, DS became really attached to his baby doll this weekend. He’s been carrying “him” around with a blankie and a bottle. So sweet. I wonder if it means he knows what’s going on. We’ve been talking to him about it the whole pregnancy but we don’t normally get much of a reaction.  |

My nerves are shot. My toddler is having a very rough transition. Lots of scream crying going on. I feel bad but yet I cant get thru to him that crying isn't telling me what he needs. Oy.

I'm irrationally annoyed that I have to change all the clothes from my dresser. Again. I feel like I just moved the maternity clothes in and regular clothes out. (I did that probably around 25 weeks because lazy) now I'm realizing that all my maternity tops won't work for nursing. So I need to swap again. Fwp but very annoying.

I’m currently walking on the treadmill. Hoping to start encouraging this kid to make her debut. It’s insane how different in activity level I have been with each of my pregnancies. With DD2 I ran a half marathon at 23 weeks and was still jogging on and off at 37 weeks. With DD3 I made sure to get in at least a nice long walk daily before I was put on bed rest. This time around my body just has not responded well to lots of activity. I had the speed set to 2.5mph. And even that is pushing it for all the ligaments and muscles in my lower belly. Getting back in shape is going to be a loooooo g road, I have a feeling. I'm only on baby 2 but I'm having the same issue. With DS1, I taught and then took barre 2 days before my water broke. I was super active the whole time. This time, my SI joint/lower back and foot issues have just made it impossible to exercise almost at all. I'm not looking forward to how hard it's going to be to "bounce back" this go round. |

jessijean are you home now? I hope you have some support I can't imagine dealing with a need toddler and a newborn and recovery. Yep, we were discharged yesterday. I'm hoping some of the energy is he hadn't seen us in a couple days. DH is home for 2 weeks and we are keeping the daycare routine. I just get frustrated quickly and when he screams after I set a limit we both cry. I hope things get better before I'm alone with the kids every afternoon. |

It will get better. DD1 acted out so much when we brought DD2 home. I felt like I ruined everyone’s lives. But little by little it will get better. |

I am right there with you. I feel like G is so mad at me. The hormones are making this 1,000 times worse. There have been many tears shed in my house the past few days. |

I feel like my perfectly happy little girl now hates me because I brought home a new baby. |

marygracerich I cried a lot, A LOT, when DD2 came home. DD1 truly was just so naughty and so mean and she only wanted me. The first probably two weeks were the worst. Thankfully she never acted out towards baby. Just DH and I. She still wanted to hold and love her sister. But it tore me apart inside. Eventually though, it was just the new normal and she stopped being so mean. Also for us 2.5-4 has just been notoriously hard with our kids. They are threenagers for a reason. It’s a tough time! But you’re a good mama and it will all be just fine.
