I had a dream last night that I went to my OB appointment and they didn't want to do a membrane sweep and that they were enrolling me in a study to see what happens when they let women go to 45 weeks! I obviously went ballistic in my dream.
Ds1 has diahrrea and woke up screaming for mama twice last night because he'd pooped his pants. Ds2 is sleeping 3 hours stretches but try were broken up by ds1 so I feel like I didn't sleep. Dh asked me yesterday how I'm able to function with no sleep.... I said, do I have a choice?
My mom, the two boys and I are headed to farmers market. This will be ds2's official first fun outing. I'm hesitant taking him out in the wild, but Im trying to get outside everyday and enjoy life. I think it's helping my sanity.
Baby had bad gas yesterday and last night. We just couldn't get her comfortable. She slept on husbands chest last night. I hit snooze 7 times and am feeding her late.
Sorry DS1 was sick last night mladerri but have fun at the farmers market. Getting out definitely helps my sanity too.
So DD's best/longest stretch of nighttime sleep is the first one after she has been put down. I look forward to that stretch so much cause it has been 4 hrs lately. Well last night my neighbor decides to have uber loud like knocking things over yelling sex right in the middle of our good stretch. DD and I both woke up (of course DH barely stirred) and it took me two hours to get her settled again (this included a squirting poop diaper change and two gushing spit ups.) I'm trying so hard not to irrationally blame my neighbor for this banner night, but needless to say I don't feel so bad now if her crying wakes him. Although he is a man so who knows if he ever hears her.

titania ugh, our neighbors had a big outdoor party last weekend and decided to start playing bongos and singing karaoke at about 11pm right when the baby was finally asleep in the basinet. My DH called the cops because I was so angry I was weeping.
We're off on a REAL excursion! Driving 2 hours to my dad's house in NH for some Father's Day celebrations. I feel like we packed up the entire house in the car but I'm still worried that we forgot something critical.
Also, DS slept FIVE HOURS last night!!! Holy shit I woke up in a panic drenched in milk and had to make sure he was still alive. I'm not going to jinx myself but if this becomes a new pattern then I'll be totally fine with it.
Wishing you all a happy Saturday! May this weekend gift you relief from discomfort, lots of sleep, and happy LOs. Love you guys!
DD woke up at 3 this morning screaming. I had already gotten up to pee twice from 10 to 3 and then couldn't go back to sleep after getting her back to sleep. I guess this is just preparing me for how much sleep I'll get when the baby is here. I was thinking it would be nice to have the baby on Father's Day but now I'm exhausted so if she does come tomorrow maybe it could be after a good nights sleep although I wouldn't be sad if it happened before then!
pbandj714 I went on a couple long walks before ds was born. It actually felt really good to walk and reduced some of the pressure for me (but I wasn't carrying twins). Not sure if you're up to it but it could help get contractions going too. frecklesnbrains 5 hours is phenomenal! Have a great first road trip.

I've been taking walks with DH and the dog for the last couple weeks, and you're right it does feel good. I can't go for very long ones though or it kills my back.

I've been walking around shopping with my mom for the past two weeks and the walking hurts! There's so much pressure and stabbing pain and I end up with cramping and contractions that go away and don't actually do anything. I can't tell if it's good for me or bad for me!
manybellsdown, hooray for your homecoming today. It's so hard to relax and rest in the hospital with everyone in one room and staff coming and going all day. Glad you get to see your DD, I bet she will be so excited.
I have a sleeping and very full baby on me right now. She's gaining weight and developing some rolls and squishyness. DS and I are going to go to the farmers market in a bit and later make cupcakes for Father's Day. We went to pick out a card for DH yesterday and the one DS wanted to get was a card with a giant beer bottle on the front, I guess he knows what dad likes.
Sorry to all those with noisy neighbors. When DS was 2 months old our amazing upstairs neighbors moved out and in moved 3, 21 year old girls, their first place out of college, all bartenders and mommy and daddy were helping foot their rent costs. They frequently brought the bar home with them, it was a nightmare. Needless to say we moved out a few months later. I feel your pain, it gets easier when you are not dealing with so much sleep deprivation and baby's schedule is more predictable. Hopefully a rare occasion for you guys!
I had a dream I was breastfeeding and it was so awesome but then I woke up and the baby is still inside and those alarms I was ignoring were important. So I'm disappointed/upset right away this morning and I hope I can shake it and make the most of my now totally open day.

We just went to the pool! I sat in the shade with DD since I can't get in the water until after my 6 week appt. boo. But it was still fun to watch DS enjoy it. I had a clip on fan for DD that actually worked so well, I might get a second one! It kept her relatively cool even in the Texas heat.
So sorry about those of you that are uncomfortable! I do not miss that. I feel nostalgic about pregnancy and birth....but those last few weeks are miserable. And now that my nipples aren't bleeding anymore, I'm in considerably less pain! You guys are so close!!
My pool is clean, my baking is done, I'm sitting in the water lounging, and it feels great. I'm soaking this time up because who knows how long I won't be able to go in the pool for once I deliver.

Took DD to her ballet recital dress rehearsal this afternoon and went to wegmans after. I am on sensory overload.
And honest to God, the amount of sass, back talk, glares and attitude my 4 year old daughter is capable of is effing mind Blowing. I can't wait even....
I finally got my pump yesterday and DD took a bottle! Yay! That meant I could head out baby free to a baby shower, but I missed her so much! It was so weird after five weeks to not have her with me. I kept feeling like I forgot something. DH had such a great time with her so that was awesome! Plus he found out what a rockstar I am for walking the dog with baby every day .
Flair Underwood children's dance recitals are insane. DH's goddaughter dances and we were helping her backstage. It was insane. I walked away totally exhausted. I totally get sensory overload. Sorry about the sass! That has to be so hard. hugs!
