Last appointment with the perinatologist today and OB directly after that. Ultrasound tech said thekid had a really big head. When I told her I was a RCS she's said "I'm so glad to hear that" 😂😂😂 how big is this kid's head 😮
Everything is looking good, I'm just living in the third tri discomfort. I'm getting too big for most of my clothes, but of course not buying anything with 3 weeks left. I'll live in my maxi dresses since I can't wear yoga pants to work 😀

Have my ultrasound tomorrow. My mom asked if I could get a picture, but they only do pictures at the 20 week ultrasound. She said I should see if I can get one on my phone lol

Today was my first day home with Harper without DH. Pumping and feeding is so time consuming. Not to mention the leaking. I got up this morning and thought I had time to pump before Harper woke up. Nope. So of course I had to feed her and both of my boobs are leaking through my shirt. It was a ridiculous funny sight. I remember stuffing washcloths into my bra because of all the leaking. Of course then I heard about milk savers months later. I always have to do this I need to check out the milk savers again. I try not to pump more than 2x a day though so I don’t end up having over supply like I did with ds1 because I was constantly engorged with him

I feel like things are much...messier than they were last time. No alarmingly sized clots but just more in general. I feel so gross.
Thank you to whoever suggested using a cut up tee shirt to keep the csection incision dry. My OB suggested using pads but the adhesive kept sticking to everything in there.

No pictures, boo, but everything seems to look good. He was playing with his toes while the tech was trying to take measurements, and he seems to have dad's abnormally large head lol. He has his head buried quite far down, to the point the tech had issues measuring it.

You know you're just a few days PP when you get wayyyy too excited to find an extra bag of the super soft hospital wipes, an extra peri bottle and another bottle of Dermaplast that your H failed to mention he put in a random bathroom cabinet. I was just about out of all these things and going to place an Amazon order. This made my entire day. 😂 I love big sister’s expression in the birth announcement thread photo. So cute!

How’s everyone doing? It’s so quiet here!
DS will be 2 weeks on Thursday. I’m pretty much nursing and holding DS during waking hours and binge watching Call the Midwife on Netflix.
It’s a miserable rainy day today so at least I’m not missing anything lol
I’m actually looking forward to going to the Dr. this week for an incision check and to the pedi for a weight check because it gives me a reason they get out of pjs and to leave the house.

My feet are SOOO swollen. Unfortunately from December-April we pretty much LIVED at the hospital. We were home for a week or two here and there. DH came on the weekends, so nothing really got done at home---we are now playing catch up at the very end of pregnancy. It is exhausting. DD had her oncologist appointment today and luckily we don't go back for 3 more weeks. I told DH he will be taking that appointment, because I am not going in the car for an hour and a half drive the week of my due date.

I’m around too. L is two weeks old today, which is hard to believe. It simultaneously feels like he was just born and that he’s been here forever.
V finally seems to have adjusted and is less emotional. H and I are finding a balance with each of us spending alone time with the two boys, which has really helped. V also really loves his brother and doesn’t mind that he tags along for activities and bedtime, and will even ask to have him come most of the time. L, for his part, is a super chill baby (KNOCK ON WOOD), which helps in dealing with both of them at the same time.

I'm getting SO annoyed with our upstairs neighbors. They never stop their dogs from barking, even in the middle of the night, and with it getting warm they've started leaving their windows open, which means that the sound travels out of the windows and bounces off the house next door, amplifying it. I kind of can't wait for the baby to get here so they can get a taste of their own medicine.

I’m around! G will be two weeks on Thursday. DH goes back to work Friday and I’m dreading it. Four kids is... busy. G had his tongue tie clipped this morning and it was so sad. I’m hoping this will help his latch and we will be able to breastfeed. I was about to throw in the towel. Other than that I’m doing well. Although I’m so tired. So tired.

I’m also around ... my mom will be here till Saturday and I don’t want her to leave I was having a lot of bleeding and blood clots so my dr said I need to take it easier and rest more (which I didn’t feel like I’ve been over doing it but apparently I have) DD will be 2 weeks on Friday. Its hard to remember our lives without her! onlymee I think your super woman because idk how I’ll handle 2 kids by myself and your going to rock 4! lol

birkmmm trust me it is hard but it just sort of happens. We have so much going on right now DD is in school and does ballet, DS is in preschool and has a ton of appts every week, and then my 2 year old is still part baby, lol. My H has been so grateful lately and keeps telling me how he’s so thankful for me and all I do and I’m like THANK YOU. I’m so nervous to get back to normal, or I guess create a new normal. ETA: girl, take it easy!! I have learned this the hard way. Listen to your body. ❤️

I’m here. DH has been home this week so it’s been so helpful. I’m going to be really sad when he goes back to work next week. I’m starting to feel a little better emotionally so that’s good. E will be one month old on Saturday, unbelievable.

Remind me never again agree to having a party at my house 3 weeks before my due date. It’s good motivation to get art hung on the walls & the last of the boxes unpacked but I am exhausted.
We finally picked a baby name. DS throws a fit any time he hears it because he has been convinced for months we should name the baby Darth Brooks. So that’s fun too.

I had contractions about 8 minutes apart for at least 2 hours last night, but I fell asleep and it never turned into anything. Now I'm just frustrated because it feels like a missed opportunity, even though I logically know baby will come when he's ready.
