My ILâs wanted to go to dim sum for brunch, the place they wanted to go to is closed so we are driving around trying to find some where to eat. So glad I pre ate my breakfast and had my coffee or Iâd be super hangry.
Iâm still pregnant, so signs of labor to report.

Still pregnant! But only til Wednesday!!!
We are eating breakfast and then heading out to the pumpkin patch. It's still humid and miserable outside so I think our visit will be short. Plus, I'm scared to try a porta potty while this large and unbalanced. Afterwards, lunch and probably grocery store.

Thought I was having a baby last night, I was not. Contractions were painful (and I have a pretty solid pain tolerance) and about 10-12 minutes apart starting at about 330 am.
Had my bloody show at 4 am and decided to take a shower at 6. That's when they started getting less intense and now are about 1 an hour. Ugh.

So exciting with all the babies coming đđ
Just finished feeding lil fella and will be heading to a LC appt. shortly to do a weighted feeding measurement. Nervous since we've stopped supplementing this past Monday. Lil fella fire hosed me early this am before I could get his pee rag on đ Then he proceeded to projectile poop but luckily I recognized the sound of his bum puckering and was quick enough to cover it with a diaper- fresh new one of course. After waiting a min or 2 I got a new diaper under and was ready to close the deal when more poop started shooting out. Did this 3x times. So basically went through 4 new diapers consecutively đŦ But I managed to contain the shooting poop at least đ¤Ŗ

Iâm having chronic pregsomina. Itâs making me very cranky. I need to figure out a better pillow situation. I think Iâm allergic to my snoogle.
Itâs DS2âs third bday tomorrow and we are having his little family party tonight day. Luckily we are ordering pizza, I ordered his cake and Iâm buying all apps. Iâve been up pretty much since 3:25.
This is one big complain post.

So many babies!!! cythe thatâs exactly how my labor started after getting my membranes stripped. I had two days of on and off contractions before the real deal hit. Hopefully your time is soon!!! duskymonkey the important thing is the poop mess was contained đ hope the weighted feed goes well curmudgeon enjoy the pumpkin patch! I so want to take DD but feel LO is a bit to small this weekend. Our plan is to go the weekend before Halloween August Blooms get some food in that belly soon! rebeccabunch - that is how all of DDs bdays have been so far - pizza, apps... things I donât have to make myself. I donât see it changing anytime soon |

We are being discharged this afternoon, unless something changes, and I'm so thankful and anxious to be home! Samuel is doing great, nursing well. We still can't get over how big he is! The kids were pretty excited to come meet him yesterday, and it was super cute.

My nephew is having a birthday party today so I need to run to the store and get a card (SIL insists no gifts, only money đ - whatever). I may attempt grocery shopping with the baby as H has to mow and do yard stuff to get ready winter. This also means I need to shower as LO is currently just snoozing next to me while I internet. Big plans over here this weekend obviously!

I was up for 3-4 hours between DS1 and contractions last night. So i made DH get up with DS and I'm hiding out in bed. Of course i can't fall asleep again. We are doing chores this morning and the pumpkin patch this afternoon. I'm planning to schedule a pedicure for Monday or Tuesday so that either baby will come to prevent mommy time, or i will get to go relax by myself for an hour.

I did not. We hv roku and all the streaming channels instead of normal cable and the CW app doesnât release until midnight on the original ep air date. Iâm too tired to watch it now so Iâm waiting until night when Iâm not so crabby. Update: I watched! It was good! |

Baby girl has a stuffy nose. Poor thing! DH just reached Dad level 1000 though. He read to squirt breast milk up her nose. He did and then she sneezed and a bunch of snot came out and she seems a lot better now. So for future reference, breastmilk is a substitute for saline spray to clear up stuffy baby noses. Sounds weird but it worked.

DS is like 1000000x more laid back than DD ever was as a baby and itâs magical. She never slept ever. Like 8 hrs awake as a newborn was normal, and she cried constantly due to reflux and was not a great feeder plus supply issues...our newborn days with her were not great. DS however has been a dream!
DH took DD to her first theatre movie today for a free movie day by us, she was so excited for a daddy-DD date! I am sitting at home drinking hot (albeit decaf because Iâm afraid to jinx it) coffee and just watching DS sleep while I play on my phone. Best.

@ cythe I think that baby of yours is coming soon! Both times my bloody show hasnât happened until I am almost fully dilated and ready to push, so I think things are moving in the right direction for you. I have everything crossed!

This was my experience w DS2 v DS1 down to the 8 hours of straight awake time. So much more enjoyable this time, right??? |

Still pregnant here! We are still packing up the house and doing minor repairs/painting. I'm washing all the baby things and taking many breaks in between. I'm ready for lunch.

Still pregnant. Iâm still having cramping/contractions off and on and feel like my vagina is about to break soooo hopefully that means something will happen soon. I just canât imagine going to work for another week.
We ran errands all morning so Iâm exhausted and hurting. Plan to get a pedicure during DSâs nap time and I canât wait.

Back from the pumpkin patch where we didn't get any pumpkins. But lots of games and face painting. Wore DS out to where he slept on H's lap in a booth at lunch. So we actually got to take our time with eating. Why is it still 90 degrees tho?? Someone send some fall weather this way.

cythe Sounds like things are happening đ and jealous of your pancakes. @teinitrotouene Take it easy today, I hope your body gets it together like Taitais did and you get to meet your baby soon! curmudgeon No fall weather here, weâve had an super warm fall. I was sweating this morning with the humidity. Finally got brunch, it was good but the place was pretty stuffy. One of the staff gave my MIL grief for walking DD around to keep her entertained while we we were waiting for our food. I donât think weâll be going back there. On the car ride home my MIL was pointing out restaurants and asking if weâd been, we had to explain to her about how most of the time eating out with a toddler is hellish, so we donât. She couldnât understand why, even after telling a story about going out with my SIL and her toddler smashing dishes by accident. đ

August Blooms I wouldn't go back either if they commented on walking your child around. We usually have to walk DS around places until food comes. Didn't know restaurants had rules that you had to stay seated.

Pretty low key weekend since we have a 1 week old. Other than my parents and sister stopping over to visit, nothing else really going on. Even in the crazy that is having a toddler and a newborn, things have felt pretty chill and I'm really enjoying it so far.

rebeccabunch sorry about pregsomnia! âšī¸ I had a lot of trouble sleeping this time around too. How are you coping otherwise? A while back you talked about being anxious at the end of the day and having trouble winding down for the night? Has that gotten better?
