All of this. I remember having my first and my mom parading her friends over to see him. Every time they had a conversation about why "so many of us" have c-sections when "none of them" had. That conversation was followed by "why does your kid cry/never sleep?" Because according to my mom, I never cried and slept 10 hours a night from day 1 (a lie when she gave me my baby book a few years later.) This is my mom exactly. Apparently I was a perfect child who caused her 0 trouble till I was 15. Oh and I potty trained myself. Yeah, I'm sure that's true. She was over a few weeks ago when sam had a terrible case of the 3s. They left (it happened right before/at bedtime so they were leaving anyway), but when she called me later she was sure to point out that that just never happened with me. Ummmm sure mom. Even the best toddler loses their mind sometimes. It just pisses me off when she does that. Like insinuating we must be doing something wrong because the 3 year old is acting like a 3 year old C was throwing a tantrum up north last month and my dad made sure to tell me that I never acted like that and we spoil C too much. I was soooo glad my mom jumped in reminding my dad that everyone called me the devil child and people still talk about how awful I was. His response, "yeah well we didn't give her everything she wanted like C gets". I'd been drinking and was hurt and upset so I cried.

Sink or swim. My child apparently sinks. She didn't pass the advancement test at swim class. She still can't back float independently.

They didn't make a huge production about it, which is good. The other two girls have been there longer, so I'm not too concerned.

I could never float on my back because my ass was too big. I can't float. She's close, but they said she isn't relaxed enough. Idk if she'll ever get it.

Do not want to buy this house. She did offer it. It's too small. And I hate the location (backs up to a busy street) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm just sitting down now. I've been running around all day. Maternity leave means I catch up until C has to be picked up. But MH just asked me if I want to come along on a conference when in September with the kids. So I'm pumped and trip planning right now. I might be crazy but I just added another trip to our itinerary, this time with a 5 week old. 😂😂 Where is the conference? Vermont. The hotel has an indoor waterpark and babysitters. So I thought it might be fun to get a babysitter for a couple of hours and have a fun day with just the boy and I.

I haven't really been checking amazon too much. I am in deep watching gardening videos on YouTube. I want to buy all the plants and flowers now.

I spoke to soon 😐😐 the puking is back. 🤢
Appointment went well though. I had a momentary freak out when she couldn't find the heartbeat on the Doppler but then brought in the ultrasound machine and baby was waving his/her little arms around.
Then on the way out a very overtired ryland through the tantrum to end all tantrums and I had to carry him Kicking and screeching. I'm sure it gave all those expectant first time moms in the waiting room high hopes for motherhood! 😂

nam2013, I'm sorry your mom was insensitive. After our miscarriage (and before the girls came along), my mother said she thought God had never given us more kids because I had postpartum depression so badly after our first. Re: prime day--I bought S a new mattress. Debated an area rug but decided against it. Cher, I spoke at a conference three weeks after B was born. We made a family trip out of it and had a blast. Hi all! Keeping busy over here. We just made S a new bed and are starting in on a changing table in the next week or two. We're going to paint the girls' bedroom, and I'm trying to decide paint colors. Might have to pick your brains. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Somehow I ended up buying a decent amount of stuff on Prime Day even though I wasn't paying attention to it at all.

xolastunicornxo sorry you had to be scared. I forgot how long 4 weeks feels between appointments when you don't feel the baby yet. In the past week, I finally feel mine pretty consistently. I go tomorrow to the doctor.

Not really. I tend to call her "she", but in my mind I'm planning for a boy. kim22 yeah, that's the first time in any pregnancy that's ever happened. It def freaked me out. I'll be happy when I can feel her (him?) moving!
