Taking it easy this morning and then I’m supposed to take the kids to meet a former coworker for coffee. I hope G behaves so I can visit a bit.

Baby has been awfully quiet all morning. So, I broke out the doppler to check on him and for a few long moments, I couldn't find his heartbeat. Talk about instant panic mode. Thankfully, using the doppler was enough to make him mad and he moved slightly making it easier for me to hear his heart beating away (about 140 bpm). He must just be having a lazy day. Wednesday morning can't come soon enough. My anxiety is at an all time high. The Doppler is truly a godsend for anxiety. I’m glad babexstarting moving around. I hope that anxiety calms down ❤️

We are settling in at home. First full day. I was nervous about my parents being in town so close to our homecoming but it's been great. They are going out of their way to smother my son in attention and I really think it's helping his transition. He was needier than I expected yesterday, and it made me sad and tired. Today is better.
DD is doing well! She's a pretty agreeable little thing. She's eating a ton, both nursing and formula. We gave her a little bath today which she hated but now she smells so nice and her hair is fluffy 😍

It is just above freezing here so it’s been raining sideways and basically dark all day. I have no energy. Damn weather.

I'm not having an easy time drying up my milk.
I have either a clogged milk duct in my armpit or a bump from shaving and I have no idea how to tell which? Any thoughts?

We are at DH's parents for Easter. The nephews are doing an Easter egg hunt in the basement because it is cold and rainy. And it is supposed to start snowing at some point. So much for Spring.
When we left the house baby was super angry and due for some sleep. She fell asleep in the car and then we got her to sleep in the house. I was just holding her for about 30 minutes but was feeling anxious about things. There is family here that hasn't met her yet and I know people are dying to pass her around. But A) I hate the notion of "passing her around." It makes me antsy. And B) She desperately needs some real sleep or she's just going to be overtired and angry and the rest of our evening is going to be awful.
We ended up swaddling her and putting her down in one of the bedrooms because I figure out of sight out of mind. And now I am paranoid someone is just going to help themselves to her from the bedroom. My anxieties around this baby are pretty low, except for in social situations I suppose.

We’re home! DS1 is doing pretty well, but it’s a definite adjustment for all of us.
It feels like there’s a lot that will be happening this week. The OB on call at the hospital when we were there doesn’t do circ’s, so we have to take him in this week for that. Then, the on-call pedi today said he has a notable tongue tie. But for whatever reason she couldn’t clip it - we have to wait until we go for his checkup Tuesday morning and get a referral to an ENT.
So...a little hectic. I’m very glad my mom is here.

It was unpleasant.

Every time I sit on the toilet I say a pray my water will just break. I planned to continue to decline cervical checks until pretty much the end but now I really want to know wtaf is happening up in there. Thank you for the tip about the bath... though maybe Inshould just go beg DH to have sex with me instead...

FFSC: I've used the Easter Bunny way too much these past few weeks as a way to get my kids to behave. I think I've said "You better be good or the Easter Bunny isn't going to bring you a basket" like 12 times today.

H came and picked G up once he woke up. He was all over the place and at one point crawled under the table and started picking gum off the bottom.

I think a warm compress or a shower would help both the clogged duct or an ingrown hair. But I would think a bump that you can see on the surface would most likely be from shaving? But that’s just my thought. Drinking peppermint tea can help with drying up your milk as well if you need.

I hope things improve and the Easter bunny still comes to your house!

Still no sign that baby is coming... I was avoiding sex the past few days because I really thought it was going to happen and I wasn't sure I wanted to encourage it. But I told my husband it's back on for tonight and he seems happy lol.
I also did a lot of walking today so maybe my hopes for an Easter baby will come true ☺️

DH and I are splitting shifts overnight, so one of us sleeps in the bedroom with the door shut and the other is on baby duty in the living room downstairs. DS did not sleep, especially at this point, so this setup is from him. The baby duty person does not expect to sleep but it's a bonus if you do.
Except DD is....not like DS. We were supposed to switch off overnight and I just woke up in my own bed after a basically full night of rest. According to our log app, DH fed her two bottles overnight and she has been sound asleep the rest of the time. I don't want to go down there to bother them--they are sawing logs.
😳 please, for the love of all that is holy, please be a sign that this one will be a sleeper. DS woke hourly until he was 1 and it almost killed us!

Oh and just in case that last post was too braggy I haven't been able to hold in either my pee or gas since childbirth. I'm a great easter guest. 😂

That sounds wonderful calendula. I hope that continues for you too! This child of mine needs lessons. He sleeps but I swear the amount of groaning and stretching and whining is killing me. He sounds uncomfortable and I can’t figure it out. I also can’t sleep with all the dramatics.
