I'm thinking tomorrow might be the Day!!!
I've been crampy and achy all day with like a constant throbbing. This evening I've been able to time contractions pretty close but they aren't really strong yet.
Hope I can sleep tonight and maybe can have a baby tomorrow!!!

My benefits coordinator called to let me know DS was added this morning, retroactive of course. I apologized for my hormonal breakdown. She was very understanding.

Sleep slowed it all down. Nothing really like last night yet but maybe things will move along later. 🤷♀️ I have to take DD to her flu shot appointment, made a bunch of food to freeze, and might walk the park. Today is my step dads bday too and he was guessing today as baby's bday. But if he doesn't come, we are having dinner with them tonight.

DD1 is a mess and so off her regular schedule from all the time she spent with my inlaws being here last week. She has been impossible to get in and stay in her bed at night. DD2 pretty much refuses to sleep at night and screams like crazy. She won't take to nursing at night well either, but does well during the day with both sleeping and nursing. I"m about to lose my mind- I was in tears last night from frustration of not being able to console her and get any rest. H went to work today for the first time so I tried to let him get some rest last night.
Sorry for the word vomit, just need to vent for a moment.

Crying in the middle of the night is the worst! DD screamed her head off before going to sleep last night (it took us three hours of passing her back and forth) and I was crying too. Hopefully today and tonight go better for you.

The middle of the night is the worst. I am not looking forward to H going back to work next week.

Add me to the list of those who had a lousy night last night. I also had a shitty day yesterday and today is not much better. I'm not even sure which kid I'm more fed up with. Thank heavens it's MH's day off tomorrow.
I'm also eating like shit and that's certainly not helping my mood or anything else. I guess at least I'm eating....

Congratulations knitty!!! And omg! Mal.colm was the boy name we had chosen!! I'm kinda bummed we didn't get to use it cause I love it. It's not very common, so that's crazy we had both chosen it within our little group!

DS's test came back normal so he's likely just a carrier. We are so relieved but I'm going to ask my OB if he can order carrier screening at my 6 week PP visit.

After two difficult days of DD not wanting to be put down and only sleeping for short spurts until early evening, today she has basically been passed out in her glider all day. Of course she sleeps all day when MH is home to help 😑
She seems to cycle like this. She'll have a couple days where she eats and eats and snacks and snacks and my boobs feel deflated and like they're struggling to keep up. The next days she sleeps all day and my boobs have upped production and are really full all day!
She did wake up long enough this afternoon to devour both boobs and have a massive poopsplosion all up the back of a super cute, mostly white jumper 😕 I got it rinsed and directly into the wash with stain remover, so hopefully it comes out.
