I’m so not ready. I’m October though so hopefully she cooperates and stays in until then.

I'm tired and super grumpy today. My congestion has been so bad this past week. I'm planning to just do laundry today and hopefully DD plays with the neighbor all day.

I still need to find a pediatrician for the baby. Whoopsie!
Let's hope he waits until close to his due date because I have way too much to do and deal with.

Nymeria,I need to do laundry as well (regular and at least one load of baby stuff). Hoping that by doing a little at a time I can have it all complete before DD2 arrives.

I feel kinda lousy that I'm not getting anything done lately while DS takes his nap, but I just cannot get through the day these days without laying down too!

I guess the lousy feeling part is that I'm not really accomplishing much the rest of the day either!! 😂 |

Even though I've done the whole new born thing before I still find myself second guessing myself on a lot of things. Lily was awake for like and hour and a half straight this morning which I think is too long for a newborn right? Also we have to swaddle her with her arms out, so her hands are freezing but the rest of her is warm. Gah I'm worrying about so much stupid stuff!

Oh, I'm sure I'll be joining you in worrying about stupid stuff soon! It's still much too early for any sort of "schedule" to develop at this point, but I'd think the saying 'watch the baby, not the clock' still applies here. If she wasn't miserable during that time I wouldn't worry 😊 Plus, I know there are times that my LO still on the inside is squirming around for that amount of time too! For the cold hands - baby mittens? I feel like a lot of people hated those when we did our product love/hates, but I used them ALL THE TIME the first few weeks! I used them because he kept scratching the shit outta his face, but cold baby hands sounds like a fine reason to try them as well 😉 |

That's a decent amount of time but you can't force a newborn to sleep so try not to worry about it being too much awake time. I always just let DS be awake when he wanted and sleep when he wanted rather than stress myself out with what he "should" be doing. |

She hasn't really been awake as of yet (thanks to the jaundice) so it was just weird to have her be awake so long. She was just sitting and looking around, and not upset so I don't know why I was stressing. |

So I’m finally getting around to packing my hospital bag, and am just now realizing that I have no idea where any of my nursing bras are. So that’s an issue. Now I’m off to order a couple from amazon in case I don’t find mine, and go back and read our hospital bag thread to secall the things I’m forgetting.

chriskoo I just put my first few things in my bag a few minutes ago. I’m supposed to still have a while, but I washed a few things and went ahead and packed them. It’s making it all too real!

It made me laugh that the most recent post in the hospital bag thread was in late July - here I am in September just thinking about it now. Lol oh well!

Lol oh well! haha I didn't pack my bag like I said I was going to until 8 o clock the night we got induced. It was much easier with the second baby because I brought so much less stuff. |

Ugh shitty sleep sucks. Good luck getting through the day. chriskoo - I would not have thought the thread would have been that old either! I started mine over the past couple weeks, but I just packed it for real over the weekend. |

That song "You're Gonna Miss This" by Trace Adkins came on while we were in the car yesterday and it made me bawl my eyes out. I am generally not an emotional person like that, but I could not stop the tears. MH seemed to think it was funny! I was laughing at myself for my reaction so it's ok he was laughing too.
I've been having a hard time the past couple nights putting DS1 to bed realizing he's going to have to share me soon. Normal STM feelings I'm sure, but it just really hit me over the weekend.

Nymeria - MH has really taken on a lot of parenting duties since last school year which I'm ecstatic about but knowing that DD's whole world is changing in 13 days and she'll be relying on him even more is making me feel like crap.

I've been struggling with having DH do most of the parenting for dd1. He's been great with offering to hold dd2 while I play with dd1 though which makes me feel like I'm not just a baby holder and feeder right now. All of my family has offered to take dd1 but I want to say actually come hold my baby for an hour so I can take dd1 to the park!
