Hugs veganontuesdays. The last few weeks are already hard and then everyone starts the “Baby yet?” questions. It’s the worst.

Wow toddler sister is not adjusting well. This is going to be harder than we thought. Even though she is a sweet girl with babies, this change is hitting her hard. She is acting up a lot. Dh is being so patient.

veganontuesdays - every conversation with my parents/ILs starts with "I'm not in labor." They are like, so disappointed, lol. I'm just glad little dude listened to me and didn't try to make an appearance yesterday with the snow. Hugs, ldubhawksfan. I'm sure your DD will make the adjustment, but I'm glad DH is being patient/helpful.

Good luck tomorrow kim22! Can't wait to hear the news. ldubhawksfan, N has his rough moments too adjusting to "his baby". It's one of the reasons I am sending him to daycare 3 times a week for a while. He needs the normalcy and I need to not have to deal with bad behaviors with an infant who eats every two hours.

Dh is being so patient. Yes. The adjustment is stressing me out a bit. She was pretty defiant for a couple of days and now she wants to hold him a lot. Which is sweet, but it stresses me out. I would be happy to not hear "I wanna hold him" for a while.

Thanks guys. DD really means well and generally isn’t acting up to be bad. She really does want to be close with DS but isn’t gentle enough yet. It’s just a constant hovering with intervention. We are looking forward to dc tomorrow and Tuesday. Then hopefully dh can rest and recover and also enjoy some 1:1 bonding with his baby boy too since it’s been the two of us split the whole time Home.

+1 for testing struggling toddler.
-1 for toddler wanting to hold her tiny sibling.
+1 for feeling like I constantly need to protect D - tonight at a birthday party L crashed into her head with her own head and it made this awful noise, which led to an absurd pediatrician call where they asked me to look out for any lethargy or limp limbs. Like you remember she's a newborn a sleeps constantly, right?!
Currently raging because D woke up at 1 (great! -an almost 3 hour stretch!) and has not stopped snorting and grunting since, then deciding to scream her face off at 215. So I've now been up for an hour and again am having my nipple destroyed. So pissed. I forgot how much of infant sleep is just a non linear unpredictable shit show. (In case any of you first time moms thought like I originally did, that once they do things like sleep longer stretches, that they do those things consistently.)

Water broke!!! Only 4cm and contractions aren't hardcore so it'll be awhile.

My engorged boobs are so painful. The initial latch is teeth grinding and feels like when I was having terrible clogged ducts with DD. I need to work them, but can’t take a hot shower with my incision and steri strips. So tomorrow I’ll use heating pads.
But my let down is nuts and soaking my shirt while nursing. First motn feeding my boob was leaking so I told dh to get a cup. Second boob I actually got a medela one and collected 5 ml from the just nurses boob! This second feeding, the letdown from the other boob stream was another 20 ml that I collected just by holding it up to the nipple.. Currently between boobs since this guy poops every single feeding.
Also DDs freaking fire alarm went off 1 hr before this feeding due to the humidifier. Damn it. Dh hasn’t come back in, so he’s either still getting her back down, or she somehow didn’t wake and he’s catching some uninterrupted zzzzs downstairs.

Dh is being so patient. E is still waking up nightly. She’s pretty good during the day, but sleep regression has always been her way of dealing with even small changes. It’s been almost three weeks and she’s still waking at least nightly.

I think last night was the first night I didn’t soak my shirts, but now my right boob hurts sooooo bad.

Its like a mix of love and jealousy. She is so cute with him, but she’s 2 so she’s just crazy.
