jessijean I’m still wearing black maternity leggings and wear them out in public. I’m thinking about having my first beer tonight. I’ve been hesitant because I’ve been avoiding carbonation until my incision is fully healed but I thought f it I need a beer haha

So i just watched my gfs DD for an hour while she was at work and her hubs was on his way home. I forgot how different two kids can be! DD1 was extremely advanced in everything and big for her age so I have a super skewed perspective on what's normal. I will soooo need you guys to ground me if this babydoesn't follow the same curve!
But it was nice to see DD1 playing with a younger child! It makes me really happy to see and excited to give her a sibling. Since picking her name .. Sort of? I feel a lot more excited.

I think baby is starting to drop. The last few days I've noticed an increase in discomfort (*cough* pain *cough*) when I stand up. I'm getting pressure and pain in the cervix/between my legs in the bones and it takes about 6-8 waddling steps for it to go away to any degree and for my gait to be somewhat normal. Still can't breathe easier so it could just be pregnancy pain...
I laid down for a nap around 6 and slept for an hour and feel better, but I bet I have trouble getting to sleep tonight because of the late nap.
DH doesn't know it yet, but he is going to have to help clean the house tomorrow, I can't do it all myself and our downstairs needs a good cleaning.

I haven’t felt good since I got home from my appointment. My stomach feels “weird” & my back is so achy. H just put DD to bed & now we’re watching Hell’s Kitchen.

They say it is the worst flu season in decades, at least in my state. The death toll is way higher than usual at this date in the season. So sad and scary. that is awful and so terrifying When we took DD in for flu symptoms last week, the urgent care nurse said it has been insane with the flu. Random - I had no idea how they tested for the flu. Not fun --- swab WAY up in the nose! DD hated it...but at least we were able to confirm she had the flu

Sooo my sister is taking me out for appetizers and possibly adult beverages (yay! finally!) but I'm in the in-between of what clothes fit me. Is it acceptable to wear yoga pants out to dinner?? I'm only half kidding... That's all I've worn since delivery. Of course it’s acceptable! You can’t be even 2 weeks pp I’m guessing. I must buy my clothes too tight or something bc it takes me months to get in my real jeans and stuff.

I’ve swabbed people many times at work, so I was fully aware of how far up you have to go. And it was STILL awful for me having to get swabbed last year when I had it haha.

DH is on the phone with his mom right now (I reminded him it was her birthday today - he would have forgot otherwise!)
I hear him telling her that we are almost all set for the baby and I just want to roll my eyes. He has done maybe 5% of the things to get ready... give me the credit!!!! :-)

I want to go into quarantine and in I’m just hoping DS doesn’t bring it home from school. me too 😩 I’m scared to have DD come visit in the hospital in fear that she’ll contract it somehow. I’m so happy I’ve been out of work and will be returning to work at the end of flu season so I’m not exposed and bringing it home with me

I think I drank some sort of crazy juice this morning. I decided to transition the baby from the rock n play to the bassinet tonight. I must be out of my mind. I really hope this works.

Thanks sunfrogger and pippiann It went really well for him actually. He slept his normal amount and after feedings he basically went back to sleep quickly. One of the feedings he was up for about an hour but other than that, he did great. Unfortunately my body is awful and decided that I was only going to sleep for two hours. I have said it before and I will say it again, insomnia blows.
