I am taking both kids out of the house by myself for the first time today. We been home solo all week but have had some friends come over to our house to play. I'm going to Bible study, so there will be childcare for my toddler, I figure it will be the easiest thing to start with!
Don't hate me, but the past two nights DD has slept a 5 to 6 hours stretch. We had to wake my son up every 2.5 hours until he tested negative for the metabolic disease they thought he had, so being able to let a newborn sleep is new to us! I keep making sure my husband knows how thankful he should be that we have gotten a few good stretches and not to get used to it! I don't want him to be impatient with her if and when she starts waking up every hour again!
We had a pretty good night last night. I have some errands to run this morning and then I will get my 2 mile walk in before picking up the preschooler from school.
So I ended up having to get a new iPhone and lost pretty much every picture from the first three weeks of her life. I retrieved some pictures that I happened to text to family members. So sad about it, and a new phone was so expensive! Lesson learned, buy extra iCloud storage now, don't wait!

I'm so impressed with your walking at the end of pregnancy and postpartum!
I have a MIL vent I need to get out. I shared a little while back about how my MIL sent DH an unsolicited birthday list of things she wanted. Well, I basically ignored it, but DH ended up buying her something because I guess he felt bad. He ordered something off of amazon that was very similar to one of the links she sent to him. Well, she received it yesterday and I guess it was not up to her standards. She texted him basically saying "no offense, but this isn't what I wanted and it's ugly."
I don't speak to her anymore, but dear god it took every ounce of self control I had (plus DH telling me not to) to not call that bitch up and tell her what's up. Who does shit like that? He hasn't replied to her yet and I don't think he will. He's literally the most generous and compassionate person I've ever known and she basically has thrown it in his face (again). I feel so bad for him.

Ewww. That comment isn't worth a response. Your DH certainly went above and beyond by getting her ANYTHING in the first place. Spend your energy talking to your husband and making sure he knows he did nothing wrong. Ignore your MIL - she has serious issues and it's not your problem (or your DH's).

What is wrong with that woman? I would not reply to that shit.

Thanks! It is one of my outlets. I am crazy type A and need to get rid of energy!

Today is DH's last day home and goes back to work tomorrow so he stayed up super later with DS last night. I went to bed at 9 and didn't have to get up until 4am. DS is stretching his night nursing to at least 3 hours, so I'm happy.
Today I'm taking DS to the nursing moms group at the library. I have even fewer clothes that fit now since my stomach isn't maternity sized but my thighs and hips are gigantic - so I'm definitely self conscious about going out.
Just had my weekly appointment. Still hanging out at almost 3 cm and completely effaced, baby low, at 2 days before my due date. I've been at this point for about a month so it just goes to show that it doesn't mean anything. I really thought this one would come early. So we had the induction talk. Dr thinks it would be a fairly easy induction so I said what the hell let's schedule something for next week. He is going to call me back with possible days.
I'm glad your appointment went well microworm. I feel ya on being surprised with how long this one has stayed in. I hope your doctor gets back with you soon for an induction date. For some reason, I just felt a lot better after we had the induction discussion. Even though obviously we won't be pregnant forever, it feels kinda nice to have a finish line.

Agreed! With DS1 I had an induction date scheduled for 40+6 and he came on his own at 40+3 so here's to hoping DS2 follows suit and gets his act together!

I'm hoping DD gets her act together too! I had DS at 39 weeks after going into labor spontaneously and progressing very quickly for a FTM. Because of that history, every OB I've seen has made a comment about how I'll like go early around 37-38 weeks and to not be too far from the hospital. Joke's on all of us!

Seriously! Back a month ago my Dr was saying to expect to deliver around 38 weeks and to be close to the hospital because I would progress quickly. lolok Doc.
babyzebra true! This one has been stubborn the whole time. He hasn't let us get a clear shot of his face.
So did you get to schedule an induction date? I know you were saying possibly Fri but maybe Mon/Tues.
Yeah it's going to be Monday. I go for a pre-op apt at the hospital on Saturday, then have a NST in the office Monday afternoon, then report back to the hospital Monday evening to start the induction. I still really really want her to come on her own before tben, but this has allowed some planning for my parents and sister to help us out a bunch.

I also upload to dropbox as a backup. And I've heard that amazon prime has free photo storage if you're a member (I haven't checked this out, don't quote me on that).
txmommy14, so sorry again that happened. I'm glad you texted a few!
Lo and I are each on outfit number three today and it is 10 am. The first one was pee and spit up and number two is spit up. Ugh I don't have many clothes that fit.
athn64 save the milk!! Glad you have your parents freezer.
babyzebra and microworm I hope having the induction dates on the calendar help your LOs to come earlier on their own! You've got this!! Is it just us 4 (Kevinmac also) still left in the game at this point, once birdhut has her little girl today? Anyone else still working on baking their inside baby?
According to my app, LO nursed for almost an hour longer than usual yesterday. No wonder my nipples are so mad today. He's actually starting to look bigger to me, maybe a little growth spurt? He's only 17 days old, though. I managed to see my students graduate yesterday AND go out for a drink with my coworkers afterwards. Thanks to my mom and sister babysitting and an usually long nap from LO.
I had theeee worst heartburn ever yesterday all day. I was googling what happens if I OD on tums, is severe heartburn an early labor sign, and can you die from heartburn at 2AM. Im so happy to not feel it this morning. I may stick to milk and ice cream for my diet today, because those two seem ok.

Is it really just us left? That's depressing. What about regal?
