I finished painting the nursery yesterday. Now to just get my husband to change out all the power outlets, the ceiling fan, and put the crib together. I feel like I need more than 4 weeks to get it all done.

So nobody is in active labor right now? Feels weird and quiet after all that excitement.

I've just been crampy off and on today but that's how I've been all week so I don't know if the membrane sweep worked or not. I lost my mucus plug last Saturday and just had my bloody show now-sorry for the TMI. We are going to the zoo tomorrow and I'm hoping all that walking will help get things moving.

nevertoomanyshoes Did the prednisone help you? I had a horrible night last night and am going on about 2 hours of sleep. I can't do this for another 3.5 weeks. If it helped you, I'm thinking I'm going to call my OB this morning and ask for a prescription. I think it did. My OB said it might not work but it’s definitely less painful now. It can’t hurt to give it a try!

I feel like the top of my abdomen is going to split open. Like straight down the middle starting where my ribs come together. I had diastasis recti with my last two, I can't imagine this will be any different, probably worse.

2 week pedi appt and L is back up to birth weight! Also he peed through his diaper onto the exam table and we forgot his diaper bag so we’re great parents.

clementine It's great that he's back up to his birth weight! Don't be so hard on yourself about the diaper bag though, it does take a little getting used to. You just had a baby! You can cut yourself some slack on forgetting things.

Friday means Diners, Drive In’s, and Dives marathon day. I watched so much of this show when pregnant with DD1 I was afraid she would recognize Guy Fieri’s voice as her dad. It’s like hungry pregnant lady porn tho.

I called my OB this morning after having another rough, sleepless night due to the carpal tunnel. She said that steroid injections into my wrists were my only other option, which I agreed too. The neurology department has to do that though. So, she sent a referral to them today. When I called to talk to them, they said they have get authorization from insurance first which could take a week or more and then it could be another week or two after that to get me seen since they're so booked. Ugh. By then, I'll have had my baby. I'm so frustrated that I can't be seen sooner and that I won't get any relief or sleep these next 26 days. I bawled like a baby on the phone when the receptionist told me. I'm sure she thought I was nuts. I was just hoping this would help. I'm exhausted and in pain and frustrated to have no other options.

It happens! Glad he's back up to his birth weight! When DD1 was a baby, I forgot her bottle and formula at home when I went to run errands. She started to get hungry and was getting fussy and when I went to feed her, I realized it was all still sitting on the counter at home. Needless to say, it was a long almost 30 minute drive back to our house to feed her. She survived though. Sometimes things just happen. 😉

mattsgirl2004 that’s horrible! Are you having a csection? Any chance your on would move your induction instead? That seems like a lot of work when your baby is just about term.

Word vomit ahead, I'm sorry.
DS1 had part 1 of his evaluation with the school district this morning. The speech therapist and school psychologist were there. He had a little bit of a rough time, but did okay. As we were wrapping up and talking a bit about what's next, both of them mentioned some of the red flags they're seeing, like less eye contact than they'd like, some difficulty with transitions, etc. and both gave me the impression that we're ultimately looking at an autism spectrum diagnosis.
This isn't a shock to me, per se, but I'm having a really strong emotional reaction to it. Their concerns are the things we've been working hard on in the past 8+ months of speech and ABA therapy, and I think it's hitting me hard because he's come INCREDIBLY far and improved so much in every area especially socially, I thought that he was just a late bloomer and that I was overthinking that he might have something else going on.
I'm sure the pregnancy hormones are a big part of it, but I just want to cry. I don't get wrapped up in wanting my kids to be perfectly "normal," I just want DS to do well and be happy, and I'm imagining how something like ASD may make that harder for him. And of course, wondering if there's anything we could have done/be doing differently as his parents and advocates.
We'll know more after part 2 of his evaluation and the report/recommendations meeting after that. Both of which somehow have to fit between now, around me having this baby and postpartum recovery, and DS1's birthday in mid-May. This timing is not helping my emotions.

It’s like hungry pregnant lady porn tho. My BFF was on one of the episodes so you’ve probably seen him by now. He owns a baking company in Dallas and one of the restaurants he provides bread for was featured. He looks like David Boreanaz (except Indian) and was probably wearing a shirt that says Hot Buns on it.

clementine dont feel bad, I did the same thing at Em's appointment one time. I was praying she didn't pee the whole time. katietopaz I'm sorry, that's rough to hear at any point but especially with all the pregnancy hormones going on.

katietopaz, go ahead and cry. Seriously. You are allowed that. Take your time. That’s a big thing to try to process with a lot on your plate. You are good parents. If you weren’t, he wouldn’t have progressed as much as he has. You are doing everything for your specific, unique child - whether or not there is a “label” for the way his brain works, with a lot of love and care. No child in the world could ask more from their parents. ❤️

katietopaz I’m sorry for the tough day. It sounds like you are an amazing advocate for your son already! I know a formal diagnosis can be scary and I definitely understand your feelings. He’s the same kid whether or not he has a diagnosis and it may even qualify him for more or different services. I’m glad he’s made such good progress so far and with additional services in school, hopefully he will continue to improve! Pg hormones are definitely not in your favor here, but I hope you can get some answers and a good plan moving forward after the evaluation is finished. Hugs!

katietopaz ((Hugs)) sounds like you’re doing an amazing job making sure your DS1 gets everything he needs to help him succeed no matter what, if any diagnosis. Sounds like a very emotional time, take care of yourself and let yourself feel how you feel just know you’re an amazing mama.
