I'm trying to keep busy so we're having family over today for lunch and the kids are going to play in our kiddie pool. Being that I'm 40w+, I'm hosting but not doing much, DH is doing most of the cleaning and set up and SIL is bringing most of the food. I think at this point keeping distracted is the name of the game & the people invited are mostly really good about not pestering me about why the baby's not here yet.
Good luck to everyone in labor!! So excited for more babies!
My MIL, BIL, and BIL girlfriends little boy are coming over. It will be good for DD1 because the little boy and her are the same age. My MIL will drive me nuts but whatever. She's so dramatic and acts like she did us all of these favors by not coming until DD2 is a week old. We don't care but the fact she acts like she's a saint for doing it already has me mad and she isn't said anything yet! Haha
Our first night home from the hospital was a cluster fuck but I guess that is to be expected. Very tired. DS1 didn't want to go to bed and threw a big tantrum. I wonder if it's because he saw the baby was still with us and felt left out.
I am very surprised my milk started coming in last night, only 48 hrs after birth. Currently nursing DS2 and am about to go downstairs to join MH and DS1. I can hear DS1 whining. Serious props to those moms who are taking care of an older child 24/7. I am already looking forward to DS1 getting back to his routine and daycare on Mon. I feel like a shit mother saying that though.

No real plans for us since DS is less than two weeks and we are trying to keep his exposure at a minimum. DD is wavering between a "big girl" and wanting to help with DS, and a toddler in constant melt down mode to get all of the attention. Two under two is no joke.
microworm don't feel guilty. I look forward to se dog DD to daycare so I can preserve my sanity. I think they enjoy having a routine also. She does way more at daycare with her little friends than I am currently able to do with her.
I have to take my dog to the vet, I'm going to a graduation party for a little bit, and we are having people over to swim and eat. I just want to keep my days as busy as possible until this baby decides to make his appearance.

Your first paragraph summarizes my DS1. He is just over 2. This morning so far he has refused to put on a diaper and we had to pin him down (not ready for potty training). But then was so happy and helpful finding DS2's pacifier and rocking him in the RNP.

Yesterday my sister graduated from medical school so we went to that and out to lunch and then to my husband's grandma's 90th birthday party so today we are doing nothing except for going to my sisters graduation party tonight.
If I am feeling ambitious, I might go hang at my parents place because both my sisters are visiting. But I haven't showered in two days and I must have managed a bad angle with DS's diaper, because right after I changed it today he completely soaked me while breastfeeding. That was fun to sit in! So getting out of the house might not happen.

microworm... Don't feel bad about sending ds1 to daycare. I felt shitty wanting DD to go, but she's happier because she is doing stuff and being with her friends and using her brain. We'd hate each other if she stayed home. I still have moments of guilt but i know it's the right thing. GL!!!
We are getting ready to go to the mountains for s few hours. DD1 needs to get out and hike around. DH packed the cooler for lunches and I am nursing DD2 to top her off. I am excited to get out of town for a few hours.
DH and I are heading out to walk around the mall. It's too hot to do anything outdoors, and I'm feeling cooped up in the house. Here's hoping that lots of walking will get labour going!
Flair Underwood bullet point 2 is sadly so true for MH. It drives me insane. He also doesn't reserve this behavior just for vacation, it's anytime we need to get out of the house.

microworm... Last major fight DH and I got into was when he needed to clean the outside of the kitchen windows 45 minutes before DD's birthday party in February...
My H is the same way. Last week we needed to clean up a little because people were coming over in 20 minutes. I found him cutting up a cantaloupe. What...
ILs are here helping get things ready for the party. So far today I've been told that I didn't give H a specific enough grocery list so it's my fault that he had to go back out. Nevermind the fact that what he needed to get was on the list and he just missed it.
Also, it's my fault that the baby was gassy the other day because I have the nerve to eat. Neat.
DH and I went to a babywearing meeting this morning. It was so great to try out different carriers with DD! We ended up checking out a ring sling though I am not sure if I will be able to replicate what I did today at home. They also helped me perfect my K'tan wearing so I feel much more comfortable now.
DH is a much better cleaner than I am. He's more focused too. Yesterday I cleared out the junk that had migrated to our silver wear drawer while he cleaned all the kitchen surfaces & vacuumed. He'll also actually go through the old mail and toss stuff no longer relevant rather than what I'd do, just move the entire pile from one room to another room out of sight. If I didn't have him I'd have to get a housekeeper and I'd also have a much crappier looking house.
If I could have a superpower, it would be knowing when the baby is actually done pooping so I don't change him and immediately discover it was just a poop intermission and I've wasted a clean diaper.

We are going to a game night for our friend's husband's birthday-- I think they forgot we have a baby? She was surprised when I said that we may not be able to stay long/play involved games...
