katietopaz i must be living under a rock i’ve never heard of the salad and i’m off to google! is it doing it’s job? cornpop so glad her bili went down and you didn’t have to take her in well i survived my first bedtime alone with both of the girls. so there’s that. i am so tired this morning...i went to bed at 8 last night and my fitbit tells me i’ve gotten over 6 hrs of sleep and i shouldn’t complain but interrupted sleep is just no good. drinking coffee and watching some gilmore girls before i need to hop in the shower. not much going on today. trying to decide if i’m brave enough to get to the library with the girls today. i will probably just end up heading to my moms for naptime before dinner. i am hoping to squeeze a nap in myself. I’m having a debate with myself about my Fitbit. Like do I want to know how little sleep I’m getting at a time and how much I’m awake or not?

Lol mattsgirl2004 I live in a rural area and we have had a drive your tractor to school day for a fundraiser. Most traffic jams around here are because you get stuck behind farming machinery.

Halp me. How do I get my baby to sleep somewhere other than my arms? I can get about 10 minutes usually before she wakes up. We are living the same life. These last few days, L will only sleep while being held, walked around, and patted on the butt. I wish I had the magic answer for us both! I just keep telling myself that it won't last forever.

Right there with all of you who are sleep deprived. I remembered this part but it’s always worse living it. I’m not great when I don’t get sleep.
Sleep has been hit or miss the last week so we kicked L out of our room and put him in his crib the past two nights (his room is literally next door and with the doors open I can still hear him). It’s been soooooo much better. Apparently he just hated the pack n play. The first night was great - he slept 4-5 hour stretches. Last night was okay the first half but then he cluster fed from 4 am until 1 pm - every hour literally. Ugh. We will see how tonight goes. He’s currently sleeping despite our best efforts to keep him up so I’m a little worried.

It's about 3:30 a.m. here and I'm wide awake with irregular contractions, hip pain, and baby has some serious hiccups. 6:00 a.m. is going to come quickly. Hoping I can go back to sleep soon.

I got pooped on twice and peed on twice in the last 24 hours. I’m so happy H has a 4 day weekend ahead to take some of the diaper duty away from me. 😂

DD decided to wake up this morning at 5:30. Add me to the everything hurts and I'm dying club. At least DH is getting off work early today and can help with some last minute cleaning before his mom shows up tomorrow night.

I'm sorry you didn't get some relief yianna. I had my bloody show this morning and feel like such a newbie googling what it means. Sounds like it could mean things are starting, or it could mean nothing at all. Boo. I felt weird and crampy during my commute to work, but right now nothing is happening. I'm ready, let'd do this baby!

Our newborn photos got postponed because the photographer is sick. I'm glad she didn't want to get the girls sick but I'm still upset that it was postponed. I just wanted to get it over with. Now Noelle is going to be 5 days bigger when we do it.
And it's crappy out today so now I'm stuck inside with a toddler and a newborn and no plans. And my H rescheduled a job so he won't even be around

I just heard from my H that mil isn't coming. She was supposed to be here tomorrow night. I'm not sure how I feel about this. One one hand I'm angry that she's been telling DD for months that she was coming. On the other hand, I'm happy because tomorrow is my birthday and I didn't want to deal with her. At least I don't need to finish cleaning the guest room now.

I’m living in baby reflux hell. I’m positive we are both constantly covered in spit up and the laundry is insane.
Plus he is always groaning because of it. Fuck you reflux

I don’t understand how people can pack a bag so far in advance. I packed one for the version and keep pulling things out of it to wear/use. ArielMermaid our bassinet is still in the basement and our car seat really needs to be washed. We’ll figure it out LOL

One million thanks to whoever mentioned watching Call the Midwife forever ago. I am thoroughly enjoying it from the couch with a baby in my arms as L refuses to be put down.

I'm struggling today. The photographer thing is so stupid but it completely threw off my mood. I'm crying at anything and having a really hard time dealing with Em who seems to know I'm struggling and is choosing to push all of my buttons.
And it's preschool spring break and my SiL/BIL are in town so my ILs don't want to watch Em while they're here so I'm going to have to parent both kids probably mostly by myself for the next week. It seems so overwhelming.

I packed my bag a month early... and had a baby two days later.
Science, y’all.
