Is anyone else irrationally sick of wearing pads? Just me? I’m so over it. My bleeding is more like random bouts of spotting, so I shouldn’t complain. But I’m so ready to not need anything anymore.
DD2 & 3 have school today. DD1 will still be home sick so my parents will take them and pick them up. At some point I need to run out and grab a couple of birthday presents for DD2, she turns 5 tomorrow! I was planning to take the girls to the American Girl store for her b-day, but with DD1 being sick it likely won’t happen. Such a bummer.

@jetter luckily I’ve been done with pads since 4 weeks pp.
We leave for DC on Sunday and I’m so excited. We did a 3 week trip when I was on mat leave with DD1 but couldn’t swing that this time since I’m not taking off as much time. But we’ll be there for 5 days so at least it’s something! Hopefully DD1 cooperates and listens while we are there.
Speaking of DD1 she’s knocking on her bedroom door right now for me to get her. Too early!

I am up and getting into the shower. Today I will get some cleaning done since MH has a random paid day off. He told me today was about me getting to relax if I need it. Awesome! Anyway G has school and this afternoon my stepmom is coming over for a bit. Should be a good day.

ajetter. I'm sick of them too. Just yesterday I thought I was in the clear and went without. About 8pm I started spotting again. Ugh... so annoying.

DH has been amazing while I've been sick and has let me sleep through MOTN wake up the past 2 nights. I guess last night he was up for 2 hours. I feel guilty because he has to work so I wish he would have woke me up.

Worst pic ever but 38w! I got up and going this AM. I have a drs appt at 1230 and my parents are going to watch E. We're going to stop at Target on my way to their house and we're also may going earlier to hang out for a bit. So I'll probably get moving around 9 or so, maybe even once E does her next pee. At home today I'm going to attempt to vacuum, put away yesterday's laundry, and do more homework. I only have 3 more chapters of work to do so I'm pretty excited. If I can be done way ahead of time I can try to relax and then I won't be stressed about doing school work while sleep deprived. My next class starts on 3/12 so in about 5 weeks (and that's #6 of 10 I need to complete my MBA). I can't believe I'm really doing it 🤓😱

sarahh, what plans do you have in DC? I live in MD, not super close to the city but love going in for the day. Hope you have fun! We are doing a tour of the Capitol and the mint and may hit the zoo. Not sure what else. I wanted to go to the Holocaust museum and the Newseum but I don’t think that will happen with a toddler. We are staying a few blocks from the National Mall so plan to go over there as well. I’m trying to do a lot that we can walk to from our rental so we don’t expose baby to anything. I welcome any suggestions that you have! We were going to go to the White House and DH and I have it scheduled but DH dropped the ball on the kids getting set up so now we can’t go which annoys me.

ajetter I loathe wearing pads. I’m only 6 days pp and the bleeding is minimal so I shouldn’t complain but pads are so terrible. I’m looking forward to switching to panty liners soon.

Today is the first day DH goes back to work. My mom and I are dreading it because DS1 is so super attached to him and has gotten used to him being home for a week now. I expect a lot of meltdowns while crying “daddy daddy.”

sarahh I have ALWAYS wanted to go to the Holocaust museum. DC is on our list of places we'd like to go on a weekend and the girls are old enough to tolerate that kind of stuff. I only live 2.5 hrs away but I've only been once - and that was on a school trip in 6th grade 😳

sunfrogger I went to the Holocaust museum when I was 9 and that’s the last time I have been sightseeing in DC. We are only 5 hours away so I definitely see more trips up there in our future as the girls get older and can appreciate things more. amesie I obviously have a shopping problem. I like to put my oldest in things I would want to wear haha

SIL took DD1 for a few hours this morning 🙌🏻 My house is gloriously quiet. So I’m sitting on the couch sipping a cup of coffee while watching gossip girl and snuggling my little squish. MIL is also back from her trip and is planning on taking DD1 tomorrow too. My week is looking up!

I am WFH today because we got some snow this morning and I didn’t really feel like fighting traffic. So, I haven’t really gotten dressed for the day. I’ll post my 40+2 bump pic later 😮 For now, here is DD from Monday night. We made chocolate caramel brownies for my birthday. Of course, licking the bowl/spoon is the best part of baking! 👍🏻

Also, add me to the sick and tired of wearing pads. And I’m not even pp yet. I wear them because discharge and to save me from having to change my undies like 5 times a day. TMI maybe? Pregnancy is so glamorous sometimes!

I’m 37 weeks today. I stayed home today because were supposed to get snow and then ice later, and I really don’t want to drive in it. I always feel guilty for missing work even though I have plenty of sick days and they won’t even let let use all of them for maternity leave. My students this year are super tough, they are just so mean and disrespectful to both me and each other. I am so done and am not sad about missing the end of the year with them. 6 more days!

Teddy has his first newborn well check today. My milk started coming in yesterday on day two. Hopefully he's getting what he needs. Love his hat.

The baby is so squirmy today. She can’t relax and just sleep. Not sure what her deal is 🤷🏼♀️

Funny you should mention pads. I'm 2 weeks pp and have switched to what I guess are like foam lined panty liners. But today we are getting newborn pictures and when we got to the studio and I went to the bathroom I realized I forgot one today. Now I'm sitting on her white couch 😣😣
I'm really ready to be done too. It's just so uncomfortable.

Hi all! I have been busy all morning. MH got offered a day off so he took it. He is still getting paid so it’s no big deal. I cleaned most of my house and did a small craft that I have wanted to finish for awhile. G is getting off the bus soon. Then it’s lunch, nap and my stepmom is coming over. Then G’s teacher will be here, dinner and then her ST. So busy! ETA: I totally didn’t remember posting about some of this stuff earlier. Sorry for the repeat info. Lol

The foam pads are the best. Once the first few weeks of bad bleeding are over that's what I switch to!
