I just took L for a long walk around the neighborhood. It was amazing to get out and get some fresh air. But I guess I forgot how steep some of the hills are in my neighborhood. My legs are going to be angry at me tomorrow. I'm so jealous!! I've been itching so badly to stretch my legs and get fresh air but the weather has been conspiring against me. Snow, rain or epic wind. Every day. Grrrr. I've got fingers crossed for this weekend. I hope you can get out soon! I was lucky with nice weather today. But earlier this week we had snow, then 71 degrees with a tornado warning the next day. Get it together. Mother Nature!

Prodromal labor is a special type of hell. I’m so sorry.

This poor baby is miserable. She has just been screaming all day and now she just spit up pretty much everything she ate and it came out through her nose too and was so sad. Dd1 rarely spit up so this is new territory for me and makes me so sad seeing her so uncomfortable.

Like there is no way that feels good.

I’ve given up burping mostly. Like I’ll rub his back while holding him but trying to burp him makes it so much worse. He becomes inconsolable.
I’ve also switched from a football hold to nurse to a cross cradle. It seems counter intuitive but it seems to be helping. I wonder if he has a better latch this way or can control the let down better.
Today was marginally better for us. I’m still going to hit up the dr though.

DS1 was a “happy spitter” in that he spat up after most feeds but gave no fucks about it. DS2 spit up including out his nose yesterday and his little face was so pitiful, he looked so shocked and confused poor thing.
DS1 is giving us a good run for our money today, much stubborn, so tantrums :/

Still breech.
I wanted to go to Ulta after my chiro but it doesn’t open for a while. Grr.
The weather was supposed to be snowy today but instead is overcast and 40 as the high.
Seriously? It’s April 7. Not January 7.

Em didn't want to go to gymnastics today. I was looking forward to some one on one time but she wasn't having it. So now I'm up and wearing makeup for no reason.
We have no plans this weekend and it's going to be too cold to be outside so I'm pretty much dreading the next 48 hours. I see a lot of Curious George in our future.

Ugh. My sister just dropped her 2 year old and 2 dogs off at my parents house and said I have to go help with the bowling tournament my dad runs...surprise. DH is helping too since my dad is in the hospital. I was not planning on house arrest with 3 kids and 3 dogs today all by myself. Real spring weather definitely would help. Or an infant that didn’t always seem so uncomfortable and could be put down easily.

We are 3 hours from home at DH's Grandma's today. We drove up last night and are going back home tomorrow. Baby's first road trip! She did really well on the drive up here, slept the whole way! It's been pretty good.
We came up specifically because his Grandpa passed away back in September and so DH is helping his Grandma clear out his woodshop and hopefully help her sell some things. Her husband left her in a not so great financial state in a house whose foundation is crumbling because he made poor decisions when they built. I feel really bad for her. We're tying to help where we can.

I’m sorry for all of those dealing with spitty babies. DS spit up sooo much all the time. I was always covered in it. I have a feeling this baby will be the same.
I’m feeling super irritable today. My mom is coming to stay with DS at our house during my induction and suddenly she’s freaking out about her small dog and having to bring the dog to our house and whether our golden retriever and cat will be able to handle it etc etc. Um, ok, valid concern I guess, but could we not have had this discussion earlier than two days before my induction?!? We don’t exactly have any alternative options right now and I have other things I’d rather focus on this weekend! Ugh.

Second good night in a row and back to a happy baby! I’m feeling relieved and happy I trusted my gut (and followed everyone’s advice here).
We are off to the local automobile museum today. They have life size hot wheel cars set up for the kids to play in and DS1 is currently all about them so it should be fun (although as I type this he is currently melting down so....).
Sorry for everyone stuck indoors because of crappy weather! Hope it warms up soon for everyone.

I just worked out. It was super modified and slow and severely hampered by children but it felt decent.
My pelvis is still a bit fucked up though

Painting baseboards is how I die. Or maybe it’s my MIL showing up for the second night in a row.

Every day i say I'm going to work out and I just cuddle my baby instead. Whoops. Based on the scale I have...a lot to lose. But I'm actually pretty okay with what I see and so far most of the clothes I've tried on fit so I'm having a hard time getting motivated. My old Barre studio is having an open house next weekend so I'm telling myself that will be a good way to break back into working out.

But everything feels like crap. Plus I can’t stop eating. Omg. Out of control. I am starting a BBM workout program with meal plan on the 16th so hopefully my eating can get under control

leatherpants I can't stop eating either! I swore to my H I would help him lose weight as soon as I had the baby. Instead last night I got cake and tonight I want to order burgers. I'm the worst. But I'm all fairness, I usually eat pretty much whatever I want and just work out insanely to make up for it. My H would rather eat like nothing and not work out so it's hard for us to be on the same page.

He actually had to be operated on later again that night due to bleeding he was still having. That operation really helped. He is improving now. I haven’t talked to my mom yet today but he might be off the vent now. Hopefully he will be out of ICU in the next day or two.

Ok, glad to read that I am not the only one who is feeling hungry and eating all the foods.
We managed to get out of the houses today for a Target run. I managed to put on lip gloss, pencil in my eyebrows, and wear my extra elasticky, non - maternity pants. I felt surprisingly human.
