It's midnight here and this baby will not sleep. All she wants to do is eat. I think she might be coming down with a cold though. She has a little cough and keeps sneezing. I'm glad she has a doctor's appt tomorrow morning.

Huh. So, I thought that the first 24 hours of newborn life involved lots of sleepiness on the part of said newborn. Not mine. In his...8 hours of life, he’s wanted to nurse seven times, and already cranked out his first poopy diaper. And I haven’t slept yet because he wants to be on the boob and he keeps opening his eyes to look around.
Our mother-baby unit nurse was like...I’ve never seen a fresh baby so alert. Is this my future?? 😳

I was supposed to get my hair done and a mani/pedi this morning. I had a sitter lined up and everything. DH told me yesterday to cancel the sitter because it looked like he'd be home most of the day today. Well, his job has other plans and now it's looking like he'll be getting called out soon. I hope my sitter is still available. I really, really wanted this "just me" time today, especially before my RCS in 5 days. I never get to do anything kid-free and I'm super frustrated and disappointed that it's probably not going to work out in my favor.
Speaking of kids, my 2 year old has been up since 3:50 (it's now almost 5 a.m.) and is refusing DH. So, that's awesome. No sleep and no hair/mani/pedi today either. 😐
ETA: FWP, I know. Just disappointed (and tired).

I hope baby settles down and gets sleepy so you can get some sleep too.

ETA: FWP, I know. Just disappointed (and tired). No way, you’re allowed to be disappointed. I hope your babysitter is still available. Also, this is part of the reason I hope I don’t go early. I have a hair/eyebrow appointment the Friday before my Tuesday RCS & I told H yesterday I plan on getting a mani/pedi the day before. Plus, Infinity War comes out that weekend & we’re hoping to sneak away for lunch & a matinee as a last “hoorah” before three kids life.

Thanks for getting it guys. I legit cried when DH told me that his work was probably going to mess up my plans for today. DD2 just fell back to sleep, so I'm going to try and catch a nap before my alarm goes off. FX my babysitter can come still. I have to leave my house by 8:15 a.m., so I hope she doesn't mind an early morning phone call here in a few hours.

mattsgirl2004 you deserve the “me time”. I hope your babysitter is still available. katietopaz I hope you are able to get some rest soon. DS2 would not fall asleep last night. He was spitting up and gassy. I made DH get up with him at 1:00 and they slept in the living room. DS1 is trying my patience. He is being stubborn and the littlest things are causing big melt downs. I hope this phase passes quickly.

mattsgirl2004 I would be completely bummed. I hope your sitter is still available so you can go be pampered. All of the labor signs that I was having yesterday completed fizzled by late afternoon. Bummer. But I guess that may mean I'll get to enjoy one last holiday feast before baby arrives. I'm looking forward to stuffing myself, as much as I can these days, with delicious food tomorrow at my mom's.

FFFC I keep pushing back non-essential work meetings in hope that I’ll have the baby and not ever have to go.

DD has Easter pictures today. She gets to hold a real bunny so she’s dying to go. Then later we get to ditch her at my mom and Dad’s for the night. The only catch is I have to go to dinner with my husband’s coworkers who I have never met. Extremely outside of my comfort zone but MH is really excited so I’m trying not to grumble. I’m sure my first impression will be a good one, huge and miserable pregnant trying to stay awake 😂

Just had last appt with MFM:
I’m 36+5 She’s 38+5 and weighs 7.4.
SHES ALSO BREECH.
Fml.
I know it’s not the end of the world but I am literally allergic to codeine and can’t take any pain medication because of it. Plus I have three other kids at home... so I’m a bit panicked.
She needs to turn.
I also start weekly NST next week bc old and two vessel cord. The breech does explain why my hips/sciatica is soooo bad. As soon as she flips I should have relief.

So, I'm here at my appointment. No time for a mani or pedi. 😣 I might have enough time to get my hair done before DH goes to work. I told my hair lady to just do enough to make my hair look good for newborn pics in 10 days (I generally get my hair bleached, toned, conditioned, then styled). So, instead of a relaxing , pampering morning I had hoped for, I'll just be getting a touch up job on my hair and leave with it wet and unstyled. Not ideal, but better than nothing I guess.
Also, I'm so freaking tired. Hope my DD2 takes a good nap today.

I hope you are able to get some rest katietopaz. That was our first night as well. All baby wanted to do was nurse and I was exhausted.

My childhood bff texted me on tuesday to say she would be in town for a few days and wanted to visit. The last time I saw her was when DS was a few months old and she hung out all frigging day.
She wanted to come by yesterday and i had to say no because it was the first day we haven't had visitors and I had the opportunity to shower and nap. I told her this morning or early afternoon would be better. She just responded to say she was too busy but I should come visit her this summer. She lives 5 hours away and doesn't have kids. I don't really have the desire or the ability to leave my kids at home for a weekend and I'm sure bringing them would be torturous for everyone.
I don't really know what the point of this post is. Just that it's hard to have friends in a different season that just don't get it.

Today is already the worst. I’m annoyed at pretty much everything, DH is driving me crazy (and I don’t have a good reason why) and DS1 is melting down at everything. Oh and DS1 has a terrible rash that is blistering and spreading (we think eczema bc we’ve been struggling with it all month) but of course our pediatrician is closed today. Naturally.
I’m trying to get us out of the house because that’ll make everything better right?

The baby had her last weight check this morning. She gained 7.5 oz since Monday and is over her birth weight by 1.5 oz. I am so relieved and happy that she is gaining a good amount.

We also had an appointment today! Lyra has grown an inch and weighs 6lbs 14oz! She's getting her two-week PKU with H right now and I'm sitting in the waiting room, trying not to fall asleep.
I might have to stop at the coffee stand.
