I'm attempting to address and stuff graduation announcements for DS1 today. Definitely a mix of emotions preparing for graduation for my oldest and first born, while being very pregnant with my youngest and last born. I know I've said it before, but it goes so fast. I keep thinking to myself, "Wasn't he just a tiny baby like yesterday?" I'm going to be a blubbering mess these next few months.

This morning may send me into labor early. I'm taking DS to get a much, much-needed haircut. His hair is a total mop, and I know I shouldn't wait till after the baby gets here. The kicker is that he absolutely loathes haircuts (hence the mop). I'm taking him to a place that's amazing with kids with sensory issues/ASD and he's been once before, but it was still an exhausting hour-long ordeal and lots of me holding and soothing or bribing him. Maybe I'll throw the hospital bag in the car to go with us. I hope his hair cut goes better than expected!

I tripped on the steps & fell off my (two) step porch yesterday afternoon and landed on my hands and knees on the brick patio. I started to get crampy & super sore in the evening, so my OB had me go in for monitoring last night. My cervix is closed, but I'm 40% effaced and she's at a -2 station. On call OB was able to feel her head move during the check, so that's super fun. All seems fine, though, and I don't have to check in with my regular OB until my normal appointment in two weeks, but I also have an NST on Monday, so they weren't overly worried. eek hope you’re not too sore! Glad you got checked out and everything looks good with baby.

katietopaz I can relate to the haircut struggles. DS1 screams and cries through his haircuts. I have reached out to get help with my PPD/PPA today. The PA at the OBs office called in a script today. It is much worse this time than last time. I have a lot of things/feelings to work through with my counselor.l

Thank you for the well-wishes! The good news is, I didn't go into labor, his hair is cut, and the ladies there were wonderful and so patient. The bad news is, he knew what was up as soon as we walked in and wanted nothing to do with every bit of bribery and distraction we threw at him. I just held him in my lap and even with intermittent breaks, he cried the entire time, poor guy. We'll keep working on it. woodenshoes I'm glad your OB got a script called in quickly for you, and you have a counselor to talk to. I'm sorry that things are so much worse this time, but I think it's so good that you recognize that and aren't afraid to reach out for help. Sending you much love and light - I hope it gets better, very soon. tinyjoys Yikes! I'm glad you're okay and that baby checked out fine, too. Hope you aren't too sore!

I'm still a little sore, but it's mostly my super scraped up knee that hurts when I move it (now I get why my kids are so whiney about scraped knees!). I think you have an M15er, too, right? Mine hates getting her hair cut with a passion, which is why it's been like a year & she looks like a homeless scraggly mess 99% of the time, but a sucker and Facetiming H helped A TON.

So, uh, I might start the second wave of baby flood? Waiting to get a call back from the OB, but she mentioned maybe just inducing today.
I am not ready. D:

This is a totally normal feeling, just so you know! Even when you feel you're totally prepared, you still feel like you aren't ready.

I layed down with my little two for nap. Three hours ago. I cannot get up. I am exhausted. They’re of course destroying the house and I got exactly nothing done on my list today. Is it time for dh to come home yet?

Rama totally normal to not feel ready when shit gets real. You'll do amazing and it'll be great! I went walking at the mall to try and move things along but walking with a toddler meant it only lasted like a half hour. How many Boba wraps is too many? I have 2 but they just released the most gorgeous print.

cornpop, No such thing as too many Rama, good luck! mattsgirl2004,glad you got a day off, but sorry your hands are still so painful. I have a legit bruise coming through at the top of my belly. This kid is not being nice. I am so glad it's the weekend. I hope dh is ready to take over bc I am so done. I am trying to enjoy my littles, but man, I can't keep up. How are the rest of you doing it?

I need this baby to come because whenever I get down, I buy baby clothes. I'm going to be broke if she doesn't come soon.

Rama Oh my goodness, maybe a baby day?! You'll do wonderfully if today's the day! tinyjoys Yep, DS is a M15-er too. I'm sorry yours has a hard time with haircuts too. I hope it's just a phase and they're both out of it sooner rather than later! DS got my unwieldy hair with curls too loose to lay nicely without help, plus frizz. It really looks ridiculous quickly. cornpop I am you. I've been stress-shopping and my bank account is not loving me.

Soooo...I’m going to try the randoms thread. Totally new for me. I feel terrible I haven’t been an active participant with you all other than the weekly HDBD but I never had time to keep up when I was working. I thought I’d have so much time with a newborn but apparently I forgot about how utterly exhausted you feel ALL. THE. TIME. I’ve pretty much been feeding the baby or napping 😂
So I’m taking advantage of BOTH kids napping at the same time. What?!?!? This is like the best thing ever!

dizzycooks, I totally agree. H has been working late practically every night this week and the kids are desperate to spend time w him. TV has been parenting a lot for me lately, more than I’d like to admit. I have no idea how I’m going to handle normal life w two kids and a newborn. I’m feeling especially anxious about this summer when school is out. Here’s hoping this baby is the easiest ever!!
