I had a nightmare that our builder built our house, showed it to us, and then escorted us out as another family who could "get a loan" was moving in. Yeah not going back to sleep after that.
I sent an angry email late yesterday bc I'm over client shenanigans. Can't wait to see the fallout today. My boss has my back so it's on them to get their shit together.
Oh no, are you keeping up with the pain meds? After the first day or so I had to remind/ask the nurse for more.
oh yes. I'm on schedule for motrin but norco on demand and I ask for norco every chance I get. The incision is painful/burns on one half of it. It's healing normally, I guess it's just painful.
Ughh I'm sorry, hope you feel better soon. Rest while you can while you're still at the hospital.
We had our newborn photo session last night. We also had her take a few family photos and that was disaster. DS was extremely uncooperative. He's been really against having his picture taken and it makes me sad because I love photos so much! But the photographer was still able to get a few good shots. I can't wait to see them!

DS2 is 10 months, but I still watch the morning news with him. I stopped around this time with DS1 because he would watch, DS2 never looks at the TV. Poor baby number two.
DS2 has a cranial helmet check today and I'm really hoping for positive numbers. I'm starting to really struggle with the helmet; I miss his head and profile without it. On a positive, he trying to stand a lot and it adds cushioning when he falls?.

This is also DS1, he's never liked the camera. Ironically he loves to take photos, but it's so frustrating. Hugs!
I never want to feel the pain of a c-section recovery again after this. I don't remember it being this hard last time.
My recovery with DD2 wasn't all that different from my c/s with DD1. The only difference was that I wasn't in labor for 20 hours prior to my c/s with DD2. I had toradol with both girls and that helped a lot. I refused norco because I was afraid of getting sick from it. And I was sick enough from the surgery itself.
One thing that helped ease the pain was keeping a stool by my bedside for getting in and out of bed. I hope you feel better soon. I think you will a little better every day.
I just RSVP'd to go to a meetup on Saturday. I've only been to one before and felt like a lunatic trying to handle both babies by myself when everyone else just had 1 baby, so I'm hoping it goes better this time as I'd love to find some mom friends.
J woke up screaming and crying last night around 10. I thought he had gotten sick and was having a delayed reaction to eating his baked milk muffin. He says he's not sick but is grabbing himself and crying. So I ask if he has to go potty. Doesn't answer but looks like he does. I pick him up and take him to the bathroom. I start to pull his pants down and he starts peeing before I can get them down. But, he has an erection so it's spraying the walls, me, everywhere. Then after he stops he still has the erection and is upset. So I'm trying to explain that it's ok and just an erection to a half sleeping 3yo lol.
I take him back to his room to change his clothes and get back into bed and call H up to clean up the bathroom. H was laughing so hard he could barely clean it up. He said next time I should let him help J since he understands how these things work and I dont. OK H.
Only 20 minutes into my 3 hour glucose test and I'm already bored.
At least I'm allowed to wait in the building lobby where there's a couch instead of the lab waiting room with uncomfortable chairs. I might fall asleep on this couch at some point... That'd be awkward.

H is dropping of his sperm sample at the RE for the initial testing this morning. I am so anxious to get the results which should hopefully be available later today.
It feels like fall here today, I am so not ready for summer to be over.
Lots of stuff going on at our house. We're converting our garage and adjacent half bath into a bedroom suite and demo is in full swing. My H has finally caved to the idea that we need a dumpster rather than him shoveling millions of bags to the curb. I fully intend on doing a basement clean out when it arrives tomorrow!

I'm sorry it's so painful. I remember the second time hurt but I pushed through and made sure I was walking and moving as soon as I could. I think that helped the second time. Also, I wish I'd used the belly band thing to keep everything together in those days.

I'm not doing well today. Last night I was convinced the baby was dead and had to pull out my Doppler for the first time in months. All this false labor is messing with her movement and making it tough to do kick counts. I have an appointment this afternoon but I'm going in early. I'm past 38 weeks, she needs to come out.
Sometimes I wonder why I torture myself and think it will be different each time, because shopping with a 7, 5 and 3yr old is not fun. This past weekend, even with my Mom watching the older two, DD3 managed to climb into the store window display and run around, laughing the whole time. At least one woman found the humor in it when she saw DD3, lol, but I was mortified. Plus she's grabbing the backpack from the mannequin to give to me, then covers her eyes with her hands and says, "You can't see me Momma!" Then all three managed to get into the changing room without me, and although DD3 had no clothes to try on, she wanted to take her clothes off just like her big sisters were. I really don't know how my Mom did it with the three of us, without losing her patience like I do.

We're going to baby story time today. It's actually a Meetup at a library story hour and even though DD is young for story time, I figured it was a good chance to meet other moms.
My pants won't button anymore but I'm still not big enough for maternity clothes so I feel like I'm really struggling with what to wear. But, since I'm short, I'll pop out soon enough and be huge so I need to enjoy this stage.
