Woke up still pregnant. This is officially the most pregnant I’ve ever been. I woke up a few times last night with some serious cramping, and my lower back has been KILLING ME the last 24 hours.
I was supposed to be induced today. Someone remind me again why I decided against that?? I want this kid out 😑

DD1 just came into our room crying. She has a low grade fever and said her ear hurts. I was hoping we’d avoid another ear infection before she gets tubes this Friday. Hopefully she goes back to sleep and feels better when she wakes up.

I’m exhausted and solo with the kids for most of today. MH may come home for his long lunch break and then he gets home around 5. Unfortunately it will be short lived Help when he does get home because it’s D&D night for him. All I want is a nap.

Also I am like 5 minutes away from taking down my MIL on Facebook. She is weirdly obsessed with the fact that 2 of her 3 grandchildren have red hair and posted a status wondering if this baby will be a "ginger" and talking about how one of her two "ginger" grandchildren will rule the world. Uhh, have you met DD2?? She is brunette and the bossiest, she is waaaay more likely to rule the world 😂😂 also who the fuck cares what color this child's hair is. Argh it just drives me nuts.

I hope you can get some help marygracerich. I totally get wanting the baby out but not wanting an induction. We have newborn pics this morning in about 2 hours so I need to shower soon.

Still pregnant! I was having some cramping last night so I was excited but I went right to sleep and it didn't wake me up. I'm a little crampy today but nothing major. We are headed to the zoo (near sunfrogger and marygracerich I think) today to walk this baby out and enjoy the nice weather. My mom is driving me bananas. She asks me several times a day if I feel any different and she's made some passive aggressive comments about staying here so long. She also unloads and loads the dishwasher in a method that really makes me crazy. I know it's super minor so I'm holding my tongue, and I appreciate that she's helping with dishes, but nothing is getting clean!!!

benandjerrys I’m so particular about the loading of my dishwasher. It drives me nuts when other people do it! amesie thinking labor thoughts for you. Get out baby! sarahh hope your girl feels better soon. marygracerich oh man. Solo days on the weekend always feel infinitely harder for some reason. I hope you can get some help or at least a screen time purchased nap.

It has not been a good morning. G was put in timeout twice and I told her no tv until she ate a little bit of breakfast. It took two fucking hours for her to take a few bites which is all I asked for. Now that she has eaten a little, paw patrol is parenting. I really want to sleep.

benandjerrys Oh, is that the zoo near me too? (Maybe i’m confusing people’s locations.) But H is taking DD1 to the zoo today too so that I can have some quiet time with the baby. Hi from not so far away!

I am within 2 hours of like 6 zoos so I have no idea which one you are referring to. So maybe you will be nearby? Lol

I’m excited because baby E returned to her birth weight at just 5 days old! Such a change from DD1 where we had to keep going back for weight checks and they told me she wasn’t getting enough milk and it was all stressful... Anyway, yay!

Also If I’m correct, it’s like an hour and a half from me so not too terrible.

I'm crossing my fingers this is what happens for us this time too! With DS, I think we went in like twice a week for the first month and then once a week for a little longer. It took him so long to start packing on the pounds, then by 5 months (or earlier) he was such a little chunker. It was not good for my mental health at the beginning though.

easternshoregirl Haha yes, DD1 looked kind of scrawny in the beginning, and then all the sudden at 4 months she turned into a HUGE chunkster. Were you/will you be breastfeeding? I think it was so much easier this time for us because my milk came in very quickly, since I only stopped nursing DD1 three months ago.

If enough of us are located where I think we are, I think we should have a GTG when the weather gets warmer. We can do a zoo or the please touch museum.

Yeah, bassa, I plan on BFing. It went great with DS after we figured everything out (I had low supply at first...) and then nursed until about 17.5 months. I was just talking to DH last night about how much more confident I feel about going into it this time. Like, how to tell if the baby is actually drinking or just sucking and also having the tools to know what to do if my supply is low again, etc. I'm so glad to hear your experience with #2 is going better!

My u/s on Tuesday showed the baby is actually sideways, when we thought he was head down. So when I went in for my checkup on Friday, the doctor told me I can either schedule a day to try to turn him (she thought chances were good because he was sideways rather than fully breech) or schedule a c-section. I said I’d prefer to try to turn him. So she did a cervical check to see if I was dilated and it ended up being uncomfortably thorough because a) she thought she felt the baby’s head and b) I’m not dilated at all so she couldn’t really confirm it. In the end they pulled out the mini ultrasound machine and he’s wiggled his way back to head down (yay!)
Question: since my appt yesterday I’ve been having a small amount of dark brown spotting. I am not surprised at all because my cervix has always bled at the slightest provocation. I am mildly surprised it’s still happening today. Am I underreacting if I just ignore it?

Regardless that was actually going to be our plan today had DD1 not spiked this cray fever... Except I'm not sure I would be able to do the Philly zoo with all the hills bc just errands to Costco and the grocery store gave me Braxton Hicks.

But not far from there.

I like making friends. Plus many of us are STMs and our littles will be getting cabin fever with the nice weather!!
