Taking DD to daycare, then coming home and working out and vacuuming. It's chilly and feels like fall here today, so I may throw something in the crockpot for dinner.

I'm on day three of having heavy bleeding (6 weeks PP). At first I thought it was my period so I didn't worry too much. Now I'm kind of freaking out and waiting for a call back from my OB.

My dad is in town for my sister's wedding next weekend, so we've stayed up late talking and hanging out and now I'm regretting it at work. But we grilled out because it was so nice out.
I formally applied to a job today (that I got an offer for yesterday). Backwards but now they can go ahead and get me particulars. I'm hoping to tell them I can't start until November because of daycare, even though they'll take Irene as early as October 18th. But since we live in the city and there's often waits for childcare I don't think they'll mind waiting another 3-4 weeks for me to start. The only other thing on the agenda today is going for a walk/picking up bread. And probably treating myself to Starbucks while out.
I think I may take DD2 to daycare tomorrow for the first time. It's paid for, since they wouldn't hold her spot otherwise and id rather not take her to my IUD insertion appointment tomorrow. I'm nervous!
Normally it takes less than 20 minutes to get to preschool. Today it took 50 so we were late. It was so frustrating so I kept making traffic comments as I was driving, and DS1 is in the backseat saying, "Mommy I want to go to preschool." I felt so badly. I always give a 15 minute buffer, but I never expected it to take that long. Since he was late, the drop off routine was a bit different. His grandparents are picking him up today so I had to talk to the teacher so I didn't even say goodbye to him. I hope he's ok. Not a fun morning.
But the good news is the in-laws and DS1 are meeting H for lunch at his work so I have the next 3 hours with only the baby. Feels like a vacation! We are heading to a baby wearing international meeting soon.
ETA: The in-laws aren't staying with us so I was looking forward to a little alone time bc the baby is sleeping, but they just showed up. Boo.

H has a short day at work today so we're going to grab sandwiches and do a picnic and walk at a local park since it's so nice out.
Also, I'm trying out cloth diapers again today in our one size diapers. I tried a few weeks ago with a newborn stash and kept having leaks due to Sam's chicken legs, so I'm hoping I have better luck this time now that he's chunked up!
Idk if it's hemorrhoids or a fissure or what, my doctor said she'd let me know while she was down there yesterday putting in the IUD but didn't. But ever since labor every time I poop it feels like something is tearing and I bleed. I'm still taking stool softener 8 weeks later, it sucks.

I'm not constipated at all, just bleeding when it's solid.
My SIL just went to the doctor complaining of intense pain and n/v 2 weeks PP and they brushed her off until she went to the hospital and she hadn't had a BM since he was born. No one told her to take stool softeners. She was so impacted that they actually had to remove it manually. I felt so bad for her.

My boss just told me that even though I don't have enough time in as a nurse to get the supervisor position (I'm shy of the 2 year minimum) she really wants me and is asking her boss to request a waiver from the warden. Fx that he accepts.
Last day of maternity leave. H and I are home having a lazy day while the kids are at daycare. My treat to myself before going back to work. I am looking forward to getting out more, but not at all excited about figuring out the new routine. Le sigh.

I have chili in the crock pot, and just got back from the park with both boys. It was way too hot to wear B but he had a great time watching the big kids from his stroller. I'm so happy! DS1 was very kind and a great listener. We were at a big playground and he went on by himself. He was cautious and kept making sure he could always see me. Thank you Daniel Tiger!

I am waiting at the SS office, to apply for survivors benefits for myself and L. MH's mom came over to watch L today so that I could do things for myself. Turns out the wait here is between 2 and 3 hours. Ugh. I've been here an hour already. I've already been hit on, watched a guy pick at his bare feet, and observed a girl try to discreetly sort through her vacuum sealed bags of weed in her purse.
I really wanted to do something fun for myself since I'm getting out of the house but nope. At least this will be done.

Oh my god, that poor girl! Did she tell her doctor she hadn't gone in that long?! I would think they would have been a little more worried, that's no good at all. Ouch.

My dilemma of the day is whether to order more size 1 diapers or go to 2s.
My best guess is little man is 12 - 13lbs, but I won't know for sure until next week. 2s are probably the right choice, but it seems like it's too soon. He's growing so fast 😪
AFM: I'm wearing jeans today!!!!!!!!!!! Yay non-pregnancy pants!!! Woot woot!
I'm envious! The only non-maternity jeans that fit me right now are jeggings, real jeans I get the lovely muffin top going on or can't button thanks to my expanded hips and thighs.
