Trying to online bathing suit shop... this is hard. Trying to accept that stretchmarks are a part of my body now and they are going to show and that's fine. I'm not terribly bothered by it honestly, it's just I'm having to adjust my self-image I guess? Any recommendations on good brands/sites? I'm liking modcloth's options.
Swimsuits for all starts at size 4 and they have lots of beautiful suits.
When I had C, I didn't eat for three days. We ate at 6 on a Sunday night. Went to the hospital at 8 and was induced. Had him at 1:15 Tuesday afternoon. Couldn't eat for 24 hours because I was on magnesium for pre-e. Even when they turned it off, I had very little appetite for another 2 days. I had to eat a cup of applesauce everytime I had to take pain meds (I had ac section) or I'd start dry heaving.

OMG the magnesium is the worst. Sorry you had to deal with that stuff.
DS's birthday party was so fun. I got pretty emotional when I sat with him to blow out his candles and saw everyone singing happy birthday. He has so many people who love him and I feel so blessed by that, especially the friends who become family. I'm going to miss them so much. The closer we get to moving the harder it is to think about leaving what has been an amazing chapter in our lives for another unknown.

It was the worst part of the whole experience. I was on it for 3 days. It seriously f'ed me up.

I'm so grossed out!!! I found a tick in my hair not yet embeded but latched on! Omg I feel like shaving all my hair off nastyyyyyyyy . I can't stop freaking out searching the rest of my scalp and being so jumpy.
Why does MH just assume that he gets to sleep in today? We had a rough night. DS2 didn't sleep as well as normal (I think because he needed to poop) and DS1 woke up and DH just brought him into our bed without even trying to get him back down in his own bed. And both boys were up for the day earlier than usual... I need coffee and a nap!
This.. my dh is extremely helpful, but this is my biggest gripe!

They are bad this year! I found one in our house Friday!
I actually feel like we are moving further away from sleeping through the night. J is more restless at night, and wakes up at the 3 hour mark to eat. Andalso, for some reason, I can no longer make it through the night without pumping or being in pain. (I was making it through the night for like a month!)
Sigh. I'm starting to freak-out about going back to work in 3 weeks with no routine. I also decided I don't like the daycare we picked and I'm struggling to find something else quick. We have a few options, but they are expensive and It's stressing my H out, which is stressing me out.
I just got a full night of sleep! H took care of bedtime, so I went to bed early, and C sleep until 5. (I don't remember h coming to bed, and have no clue when C went down.) But I got about 7 hours. And I'm pretty sure C is going to go back down after this feeding, and it's Sunday so no alarm at 6 am. I might get a little more sleep. I'm a happy camper this morning!!
Sorry about the daycare stress glb30. FWIW, I freaked out about our daycare with dd1 shortly before she started as well. We tried to get into other centers last minute without luck. Now I can't imagine her being anywhere else. Hopefully wherever you end up, you'll feel comfortable once lo and you get into a routine.

I did not get enough sleep but I feel surprisingly ok. I need to order groceries for DH to pick up tomorrow. I also need to do a ton of laundry and straighten my house.
jellykat2 I have wondered how much of it is just me being scared/sad I have to leave her in 3 weeks. Thanks for sharing bc she might be starting there, regardless.
I do have a specific reason I changed my mind though. So- I went to drop of her paperwork and had the baby with me. I'm used to ANYONE and EVERYONE stopping me to look at the baby, tell me how cute she is, say hi to her. J was awake, and I guess I'd expect the daycare lady to say hi to her. She didn't. At some point, I pulled my move when people don't acknowledge the baby and she's awake and said "this is Joslyn" and she congratulated me, but STILL didn't acknowledge the baby. I started wondering how much she actually knows about infant development if she didn't even know to say hi to an awake 2 month old. And if it's not that she doesn't know she should, she just didn't seem to interested in J. So now I'm wondering if I nanny would be better. But what seems like a reasonable hourly rate for a nanny gets super expensive when I multiply that by 50 hrs a week.
A more affordable option would probably be an au pair, but they need there own living area, including bathroom. We have a finished attic that might be perfect, but the closest bathroom is on the floor below, and is the one H and I use. I'm not sure I can figure out the logistics, and anyway, were not going to have someone here in 3 weeks.
I might have my friends sister who is starting business school in the fall watch her til August. This will give me some time to explore my options while I find my rhythm at work.
Sorry for the super long post, but I think it just helped me make a decision- hahaha! I write it all out to you and it seems buying myself some time is a good solution. And this girl happens to be a therapist for young kids who are not meeting developmental milestones, but the position she was in stops at the end of the school year.

Wow that's amazing! I can't imagine a full uninterrupted nights sleep.

Go with your gut. We have mother instincts and we should never disregard them.
This would have bothered me alot as well.
I'm sorry this is adding more stress to the mix for you

DH somehow managed to spill a bottle of water all over himself and his side of the bed while mostly asleep in the motn. Omg. He was so confused and I was even more so at the time, but it's pretty funny now. It's strange what broken sleep can do to you.
For the last 3 nights DD has not cried at all! She's just all smiles and "talkitive". I didmt wamtbto say anythimg im case night one was a one off but I think the hysterically crying for hours on end is almost over!

That would have bothered me too. I agree, go with your gut. Putting our babes in the care of someone else is so stressful.
glb30 - not the same thing but we're in the process of changing preschools for DS1. There are many reasons but the final straw was when not one person acknowledged DS2 when I brought him to dropoff/pickup. It gave me a bad feeling - like they don't actually like kids that much. So I totally get it. Definitely go with your gut.
I'm feeling the sleep deprivation. Got a couple cat naps this morning with him sleeping propped up on me. He had been doing 3 hour stretches and I think he's going through a growth spurt because last 2 days he's been feeding every 1-2 hours. Last night feedings sucked because my boobs decided to be fire hoses and he would get pissed trying to eat and choked all the time or pissed when he had to wait for me to express some milk so he wouldn't choke. Then I'd have to take him on a half hour walking tour of the house for him to calm down. I used my silicone pump at one point to help relieve some pressure, but then spilled the milk all over my phone. Thankfully it didn't get damaged as far as I can tell. I feel sticky and stinky this morning. H is still sleeping after going out with his cousin last night and coming home feeling pretty good. It was much needed- he was getting stir crazy. But now he's on baby duty for the afternoon.
