kensie5226 I’m sorry for the rough toddler day. I’m having one of those over here but without an outside newborn. I may have had a breakdown imagining that a few minutes ago!

OMG today sucked. DC sent E home “sick” claiming a 101.5 temp and when we got her home it was nothing but 98.4 all afternoon. She didn’t nap b/c of the change in schedule and she was a shitshow toddler all afternoon. I did drink a glass of wine which was nice, but damn I’m done. I’m so sorry! That sounds so rough. I hope E felt better today and stays at DC!

No major changes at the doctor's office today. The sonographer said he's looking to be about 8lbs now, but she and the doc both told me measurements at this point are unreliable and could be off by almost a pound (I guess I looked panicked? lol). My induction has been confirmed for the morning of the 19th, unless something happens before then. But for now, looks like little man is happy to stay put. I did treat myself to Chik-fil-a after and got the peppermint chocolate chip milkshake everyone's been talking about. It was good, but I remembered why I don't usually get milkshakes (only wound up drinking half but at least the craving is gone now!). Because of coworker illness and our company holiday party, I'll go into the office tomorrow but then it's telecommuting until the baby comes, because Monday was the first day I was really super uncomfortable at work, so I think being home where I can stretch on the couch with my laptop if I want will be better

Oh my god guys my emotions are all over the place knowing that N won't be our only little man anymore. We went out to dinner tonight as the three of us for the last time and when I looked at him I was getting so emotional that his life is going to change in a drastic way tomorrow. I mean, I have two siblings so I know what a gift they are to have but I still had passing emotions that we were somehow ruining his life. I'm know those emotions are normal, and while I'm excited to meet our new baby, part of me isn't ready to have another.

I cried last night cuddling DD and again on the way home after leaving her at ILs. Tonight was partially because I’m sad to leave her and to not have her alone anymore, but also because the weight of me being scared for tomorrow has hit me.

I was having some really intense pains on my right side starting this afternoon anytime I was up walking around. This lead to DD mainly watching TV today or playing with stickers while I was laid up on the couch. My Dad was freaking out that it was labor...I’m pretty sure it was a mixture of babe’s position and gas. DH should be home now in time for my induction (hopefully they have a bed for me! 🤞) so I’m really really hoping I don’t go into labor before then!

Hugs sarahandben108 and ldubhawksfan. I hope everything goes well today. What you're feeling is totally normal - I cried pretty much the entire day of D's birth over the same thing, especially since going into labor unexpectedly meant I didn't get to have a "last day" with L like I planned. L also seems huge and so grown up now that we are home. But we are adjusting and like you said, in the long run, we recognize our siblings for the gift they are. Also, recovery has been MUCH smoother for me this go round (and it was smooth the first time) so I hope that will be the case for you as well.

I had my 37 week apt yesterday. 3rd doctor now who has asked how close I live to the hospital because this baby is going to slide right out. LOL. He was the last doctor that I needed to meet from the practice and he's actually my fave! He's on call tomorrow and Friday so he leaned in to my stomach and said "see you Thursday big guy!" haha

DD met DS last night and when she came to the hospital she seemed so much older than when I left her Monday morning. She seemed like such a big girl!

I'm know those emotions are normal, and while I'm excited to meet our new baby, part of me isn't ready to have another. This was me. The crying continued for a couple of days after R got here. Every time I looked at HK the guilt would overwhelm me. Now I just count my blessings. I didn't grow up with any siblings so I am excited to see what is to come. It's so sweet to see her look for her little sister and if she makes a sound she is the first to run to her.
