Baby is the size of: cabbage

FTM, Etc: stm

Team: blue

Appointments: Next Monday, then weekly

Milestones: almost to weekly appts

Rants: I’d like someone to take over adulting for me for a while. My chiro has yet to submit my appts to insurance (which we need them to do to count them towards our out of pocket amt) which is irritating me. Also a button is falling off my slipper and I hate sewing and wish someone would magically fix it for me (such a small thing, but I’m just tired).

Also I’m sick of gaining weight and already stressed about taking it back off.

Raves: DS is so so excited about baby brother and tells anyone who will listen about him.

Baby is the size of: probably getting close to 8 lbs

STM

Team: green turned blue

Appointments: two week well check on Thursday

Milestones: today is my first day at home alone with both kids!

Rants: I thought DD was adjusting well to the new baby but she's started acting out the last few days. I know it's totally normal and she's also getting back into a routine after being at my parents house and then having DH mostly take care of her. But I feel bad for her and it's very frustrating for both of us.

Raves: I've been so much more relaxed this time around with the newborn phase. It's been a totally different experience so far and I've actually been mostly enjoying it.

Also I'm so glad not to be pregnant anymore. Even with the newborn exhaustion I still feel more like myself and have more energy. I'm about 15 pounds from my pre pregnancy weight but I still feel so much lighter and ready to lose the rest of the weight.

Madeleine Theresa was born today at 12:30 European time, 9 lbs 3.5 oz 😲😲😲

She's been very chill today, but I remember well that first night, so I've been trying to rest. Really hard to sleep with adrenaline.

Week/EDD/Baby's age: 33 weeks (July 4th)

Baby is the size of: pineapple

FTM, Etc: TTM, b/g twins are 9 years old

Team: Green

Appointments: OB apt was Monday and they scheduled cesarean for July 1st, then the growth scan was Wednesday and the MFM basically laughed at the thought of baby waiting until July. Baby is measuring 5 1/2 lbs and is head down. Will start having weekly BPP ultrasounds due to age/BMI.

Milestones:

Symptoms: Round ligament pain, what I assume are Braxton hicks, increased trips the bathroom, trouble sleeping

Rants: I'm sick of working and wish I could just focus on getting ready for the baby. I feel like my house is a disaster but am usually too tired to and sore by the end of the day to do anything about it. But I've kept this weekend open and have plans to attack and organize.

Raves: My MIL gave me $ for Mother's Day so I used it to order the rainbow swaddle set from Milkmaids. My mom came with me to the growth scan and was excited to see her grandbaby. She's 83, (was 44 when I came along) and is amazed at the technology they have now compared to when she started having kids in the late 1950s. (I know, that time span blows my mind) It's been ten years since my first baby shower and I've passed 99% of it along so basically am starting over again. I've been lucky enough to have a lot of gear handed down to me from family members and my in-laws are hosting a sprinkle next weekend. My Mom informed me that my cousins and sisters want to have a celebration for me after the baby arrives - I think in part so that it coincides with our family reunion weekend and everyone will be in town, and in part because they want to be able to buy boy or girl specific items (it's killing them that we're team green). I still feel weird having another shower, but am thankful that they want to celebrate.

Week/EDD/Baby's age: 1 week old today!

Baby is the size of: about 7lbs

FTM, Etc: TTM

Team: green turned blue

Appointments: apparently my practice now does a 2 week checkup as well as the 6 week

Milestones: I had a baby

Symptoms: recovering from labor

Rants: the 3 year old is having a bit of a hard time sharing me.
I am so tired. My parents left on Thursday, and DH came down with a stomach virus that night. I am so scared of me and/or baby getting sick, and I really needed help, and DH has been totally taken out, plus, he should not be near baby right now anyways.
Also, a friend passed away from cancer on the same day DS was born. They had just discovered the cancer less than 2 weeks before, and he had a 3 year old and a 1 year old. He was my age. I am always especially emotional after birth, and this amplified it a lot.

Raves: Baby is so sweet, and so cute, and I am completely in love with him. I know 3 under 5 is going to be super hard, but I already can not imagine life without him.

Pics if you want to share any: I wish I knew how to share.
