Sending labor vibes to everyone still waiting. We're getting the hang of being a family of four (with the help of my sister). My sister took ds to the zoo, dh is mowing the lawn and walking the dog and I just finished uploading pics to fb and relaxing while R sleeps. I wish no one had to go back to work and it could always be this way. My mental state is so much different this time than with ds. I'm so much happier and patient and I'm very thankful for it. I know it's going to get harder and harder but I'm enjoy the bliss while I can.
soultrane so glad it's getting better. That pic of him was so sad hard to see your baby like that I'm sure. manybellsdown... The day isn't over.... I am pulling for you. vivela amazing!! Thanks mil!
Sending labor vibes to all those who are (im)patiently waiting! I still feel like it'll be a while for me.
I'm going to BBQ at my ILs this afternoon, hope to not get too much sun because I'm a little burnt from the pool yesterday. Looking forward to BBQ though!
My H has a terrible case of cleaning ADD today. I asked him to start straightening up at 12 since we have family coming over later today. It's now 2 and he's cleaned one tiny corner of our living room.
What is he doing currently doing you ask?? Cutting a cantaloupe... Because that's apparently super important right now. Meanwhile I'm strapped to this kid again while he eats and am unable to move while looking at the major clutter that is making me twitchy.
I'm so addicted to grocery delivery. I don't think I can go back to doing it myself. I'm ruined!
I am almost wishing I did this today instead of trusting my husband to get everything I want.
The biggest bonus of having a designated shopper do it versus DH is that the designated shopper did not come home with 5 packages of beef jerky and Funyuns and actually purchased everything on the list!
We're on our way to make an appearance at my little sisters graduation party and then off to the hospital!
I'm hoping there aren't too many questions because I'm a horrible liar but I also don't want to announce that I'm going in tonight.
Good luck! That was me at work on Fri. Trying to leave it until the last second before I left to say oh yeah, my water broke this morning so today's my last day before leave. Did not want to deal with talking to people about it.

Just got home from the hospital. Labor and delivery has been so much easier than expected. So glad we were able to only have a one night stay for DD. Now to figure out this whole family of 4 and breastfeeding thing. Now if only DD liked the bassinet half as much as the cats and didn't cry whenever I try to put her down. I haven't slept more than a few hours in days
BBQ with family today was good and yummy. A few fairly painful contractions but nothing to write home about. I downloaded an app to track but haven't started yet. With these contractions I can tell when they're happening & when they stop but I never think to time them. They usually start when I stand up and try to walk somewhere. I *think* they might still be BH but I don't really know how to tell the difference. These are more painful, with a peak, and slow me down where before I'd just notice the hard belly with no other signs. Still not too terrible though. I probably just jinxed myself and they'll get super painful now.
I had a sip of champagne tonight. My sister is in the wine biz and opened a bottle of expensive stuff to celebrate baby R. It has never tasted so good. Also my milk came in today and one boob is twice the size as baby's head. It looks like they are going to swallow him.

There is nothing like boob size the few days your milk is coming in. It's humorous and I wish I had taken a picture!

Also I'm terrified for this. My boobs already make LO's head look small and I'm afraid she's going to suffocate on my boob. And my milk hasn't started coming in yet.

This weekend has been so hard.... My incision has been killing me and I've gone through my entire Percocet Rx (alternating with ibuprofen). By coming home from the hospital on Friday, DD has been home with us for the past 3 days and I have not been able to take it as easy as i really needed too.
Knowing how stir crazy DD got helps with my mom guilt about sending her to daycare while I'm on maternity leave. But, holy shit, I need to rest.

Flair Underwood I'm sorry you're having a tough recovery. Don't feel guilty about daycare, my toddler is going stir crazy at home all the time. She will have much more fun with her friends.
