Good morning!
I am pumping and drink coffee. I am hoping to jump and the shower after. L was suppose to get his 3rd dose of synagis (rsv prevention) on the 21st and insurance denied it, and the said it was a computer error. It finally shipped yesterday so I really hope the doc can squeeze us in today. I will have to call in the afternoon if I don’t hear anything.

I think we could all use a collective hug and a big ol glass of wine. You all are doing great even if it seems rough. This is only a season. Some day you will sleep. And your little’s won’t remember that you watched copious amounts of TV. And even if you feel like a crazy person out in public, i guarantee there is another mom out there who sees you, and remembers how nuts those early weeks/Months/years are. You’ve got this!!! this just made me cry. DD1 has been so so challenging lately... I think it’s been a cross between her being sick which always makes her more challenging, bringing home a new baby, and going completely stir crazy... but she has been such a terrible listener lately and challenges me on EVERYTHING I ask her to do and I end up yelling at her which I hate!! And of course it’s been falling completely on my shoulders since MH has been working crazy hours this past week. I just broke down crying with her after having to throw her in time out YET AGAIN for not listening to me. I’m just so mentally exhausted by her all the time. Anyway, all this to say thank you and I needed to hear this today!

Just got back from the grocery store where I had lots of cramping and a few actually painful contractions - or lightening crotch but judging by the lingering pain in my hip I suspect contractions - sooooo I'm not doing anything the rest of the day.

I’m so irritated. Drove downtown to get DS’ birth certificate only to discover they spelled my name wrong so I have to file for an amendment which requires a crap ton of paperwork & a notary. We need to get this done ASAP so we can add DS as a dependent of H’s so I’m just super irritated that I have to deal with all this.

Did they have you proof read everything in the hospital? My hospital had me proof read all the info to make sure it was all accurate to avoid this. Didn’t someone just post about this happening to them yesterday? peachesncream?

amesie Ugh, my DD1 (2.5 yo) has also been a terrible listener lately. She started taking a bunch of cd’s out of a case and dropping them on the floor. I asked her not to do that, and to pick them up. She just stood there, not looking at me, not picking them up, and then put her hands over her ears. 🙄 Just as one fun example.

All is well so far. I love the midwife on duty but she is only here until 5, not sure if it will happen by then. Started on Cytotec and we'll do some pitocin in about an hour. 2cm now and I forget what else she said but cervix is changing the way it should. And she can still feel baby's head down there so that is a relief! They let me have breakfast but now I'm going to be on liquid diet. Sounds like I'll be able to have soup or something at least.

Hello! I attempted to drive into work this morning. It took me an hour to get 5 miles from my house. Said fuck it and turned around. I’m comfortably working from home again and when I told my boss I wasn’t going to be in today, he seemed confused that i would even attempt it 🤷🏼♀️.
I still have an inside baby. 40+1 today. No new contractions since the other day. I tried castor oil with OJ this morning. It’s done nothing. What a waste of nastiness.
If I make it through the day without going into labor, I plan on rewarding myself with a (small-ish) glass of wine because it’s my birthday and I’m super pregnant and uncomfortable. 🙌🏻

She ended up having a car baby 5 min away from my house. It sped up her labor like wildfire. I hope it works for you, but not as much as t did for my mom! 😂

And I know how they messed up, my maiden name has a “t” and while I know I didn’t also cross the letter next to it, I can see how they may have thought I did (so instead of one “t” it has two).

It was a long night. J has congestion and very little sleep happened.
And he had the largest/nasty poop earlier today - that was fun cleaning up!

Can I just say I'm so glad so many of us are STM and it seems with kids in the same age range because commiseration.

DD1 insisted on taking a nap with the dog on the couch with Frozen on. If she's not sleeping soon I told her we are going to go to her room.so.. Fx. I'm waiting for her to fall asleep to get up and fold wash eat etc since she'll be distracted by me otherwise.
I've had back pain, hip pain, and continued (irregular) contractions - mixed - since coming back from the grocery store. So.... That's fun. I didn't experience any of this with DD1 so it makes me kind of anxious. And I'm peeing a LOT which makes me think something is happening to push on my bladder maybe dropping? Idk.
She reeeally can't come this week though. There is a little too much going on.

There’s no better sound than getting out of the shower to hear your baby NOT crying

For everyone with the acting up 2 yo, it really does get better. All of their little misbehavings are magnified because you now have someone else to care for too. It blows but as each day passes the new baby becomes more of the new normal and the acting out gets better.
Our older kids are so smart, they know when we are stressed and take the opportunity to pounce! The more that I take a deep breath and remind myself I’m in charge, not them, the more calm I become and they read my confidence and stop. This doesn’t always happen but I try to keep it in mind.

Good luck easternshoregirl! Hugs, amesie. My husband works evenings and weekends and I work weekdays, so sometimes parenting by myself gets really, really old. Nada today. Still pregnant, even fewer BH than yesterday.

Just a baby would be nice. LOL. I took it this morning and just woke up to a nice strong contraction. I hope it wasn’t a fluke. 🤞🏻
