I'm going to try making this today: birdandgoose.blogspot.com/2014/11/diy-babywearing-coat-zip-in-insert.htmlLooks super easy plus I got materials for less than $5 at the fabric store, so it is worth a try. I have to go use my mom's sewing machine though b/c mine is broken and I need to get it fixed at some point. DH took E down to visit his parents so I have all day to do stuff and rest. I already did errands/grocery store. I plan on cooking oatmeal, muffins, meatballs and soup to stock us up for the week. I also need to do a bit of cleaning but I will try not to over-do it. I can't do everything in one day, like I would try if I weren't pregnant. My body just won't allow it. Right now though I am eating some grocery store sushi and will enjoy some cookies and a cup of tea next! Also, I decided something like this canvas project is going to be my Christmas craft to make and give to family members. Hey, that blog post is from my IRL friend! I have always wanted to make that but my craft talent is exactly zero. Maybe even negative haha. How cool! I was looking up maternity coats and extenders and I was like wth?! The extenders are like $60. It seemed pretty simple but having a set of instructions is still super helpful. ETA: wait, or were you talking about the lights/canvas one?! Haha.

Hi yall,
I have a yeast infection. It's the literal worst. I didn't get one until 8 mo last time so why not do it earlier at 6.5mo???? Ugh. I also have super awful vasovaginal swelling.. Greeeeeat. I picked up a 7 day monistat which is what they told me to use when I was pg with my DD. So I can start that tonight. And i got medicated wipes to help me thru the day.
About to put DD for a nap.. Then pie crust making, schoolwork and making dinner. Woo... Exciting Sundays.

sunfrogger, I had one earlier and they put me on diflucan, which knocked it out. Do you think your doc will give you that if the monistat doesn't work? Sorry for the discomfort. It isn't fun. The weird thing for me with mine is I didn't feel any different (thank goodness), I just noticed my discharge was sometimes yellowish-greenish. Pregnancy is so glamorous!!!

My DH and I just got back from a little weekend getaway. We spent two nights in a rustic log cabin in the white mountains in NH. It was a nice little getaway. My mom took DS, we FaceTimed him last night and he was crying because he missed us, which made me cry. He loves spending time with my mom though and had fun. We are now cleaning up and unpacking.

Thanks marygracerich! DH is about to go get me some stuff, I’m not sure what I can take but he is going to ask the pharmacist. Miralax is making things generally bearable for me but it doesn't work super fast

I feel like as a STM, I should be less nervous for a newborn. But I think I feel more nervous this time! All the same fears as last time (I’ll be responsible for this tiny life!) plus the stuff that was hard the first time (now I don’t have to imagine pp recovery, breast feeding and all it’s hassles, so. little. sleep). This does not seem fair. I should be a confident old lady this time!
Not trying to scare anyone. It’s all worth it or I wouldn’t be doing it twice. But I’m getting the jitters as things get closer!

Hey ladies! This weekend has been some what productive, hubs converted the crib to the bassinet and he is currently cleaning the carpets in the living room. I am trying to get m down for a nap and going to try to make L 3 o’clock care so that I can do skin to skin. We still need to get a deep freezer or I am going to have to start tossing food soon. This week I plan to wash all Newborn clothes and prepare for the ILs coming at the end of the month. Hopefully tomorrow they will have my degree plan switched over so I can get started on those classes. It suck that I did 8 weeks of student teaching for nothing but not much I can do.

I'm sure they will give me something. I just figured I'd start with what they gave me last time. I remembered the discomfort from last time and knew immediately that's what it was. I only have ever . gotten them during pregnancy so I was waiting for the shoe to drop!

Today I'm wondering wtf I was thinking. DH has been gone and my toddler has been so uncooperative. Everything has been a fight or a tantrum. Eating, getting dressed, bath time, bedtime. I didn't know how in the world I will handle 2 little kids/babies.

I didn't know how in the world I will handle 2 little kids/babies. In moments like this, I remind myself that women have been doing it for thousands of years and most of those years had less things to entertain kids. If they can do it, we can do it. We will survive even if it’s hard af.

I went through the emotional stress and panic of “how the eff am I going to deal with life with 2 kids” the past couple months. But lately I’ve had a calm about it all. Probably denial? Or maybe it’s that I have everything pretty much set and ready to go for this LO to come out? I don’t know, but regardless I’m not stressed about it. It is what it is and we’ll figure it out! 🤷🏼♀️

Also tagging sunfrogger. I'm sure y'all are going to think I'm totally crunchy crazy, but garlic is the best cure for yeast infections. I used to battle chronic infections until I discovered the garlic trick. You peel a clove of fresh garlic, cut off an end, and shove it up your vagina. No I'm not joking and yes I'm serious. It kills a yeast infection quickly and without the nastiness of Monistat. Hopefully y'all are feeling better by now but just have to share my "magic" trick even though it seems insane lol.

It works for uti as well, but you have to eat it to get it into the urine stream. I used to chop up raw garlic and eat with buttered pasta and cheese to get it down. @dragonflynn hope your feeling better too! Today was day 1 on monistat for me, I applied day 2 before bed. Except that I'm up with an upset stomach right now so hopefully that cream had long enough 🤷♀️. I definitely felt better thru the actual day today and started to feel pretty shitty once I got home. And I passed out around 7 so mh took care of DD.
