Well... I guess I knew she would be my daughter. I was at work for an hour And felt a gush when I stood up. Called doc. In l&d. She's coming. Water bag broke. I'm having contractions but nothing major. They started pitocin to get me going.

Today is DHs first day back to work since DS arrived. It has been great having him home to help out but I was really looking forward to figure out what my new "normal" is now with a newborn. Well DS has decided that today needed to be a cluster day. He has been feeding every 1-2hrs since about 9:00 last night. So far I've managed to put on deodorant and eat an oatmeal cream pie. Is it 5:00 yet?!
Background story: My FI has two sons from a previous marriage and I have twin girls from a previous relationship.
Well BD and I have split custody and have had an alternating schedule that's worked pretty well for the last year or so. He texted me today asking what I was going to do with DD's when LO is born and if he was going to get DD's more. I said no that things would remain the same as they have been. Well he starts asking a bunch of roundabout questions trying to figure out who is going to have the girls when I'm in the hospital. Thursday DD's will be with my mom since it's still my day until Friday when it's his day then I should be discharged in time to have DD's on my day again. So they will only be with my mom and dad Thursday and until he decides to pick them up on Friday (usually ranges between 4-6).
Well he immediately says that if he wants more time with them that he can and regardless of whether or not I'm going to have help after the baby is born that he's DD's father and if he wants to see them more he can. Nothing I say is making sense to him. I keep saying that our days remain the same and I'm going to have my girls on my days and that nothing changes. He keeps telling me that once the baby is born and I'm taking care of 5 kids I'm going to change my mind. I told him that I'm not going this alone, I will have help when DD's are here and when they are not here. My FI will be here and my mother lives down the street.
I could understand more if he thought that I won't have DD's here with me whatsoever during my days but they will be. And as for the one day I will be in the hospital and DD's will be with my parents and that's still on my day. My parents want time with their grandkids and DD's are going to spend the night and have a blast. I'm not robbing him of time but he's trying to rob me of my time because when he had a baby with his GF he didn't see DD's for nearly two weeks and sporadically got them on his own accord.
I'm completely frustrated.
Edit: words
1st of all, sorry you are dealing with this. It sounds like he just wants to start something. Honestly since you already have L&D plans for your DDs, you don't have to inform him of the birth or the new LO. Just continue being the best mom and step-mom you have been.
For those of you who've made padsicles, how many did you make?
I bought a pack of 20 but ran out of liquid by the 12 or so. (I skipped one ingredient, a special tea, and had less liquid because of that. ) I figure I can make more if I need them.

Thanks! I think I'll see how many I can make with the amount of witch hazel I have.
I am 6 days pp from a RCS and I have developed a mild fever. Ugh! I hope that it goes back down in a little while or I may be going back to L&D to make sure everything is ok.
Just found out that our credit card has been compromised, so now they are sending us new ones. It wouldn't be such a big deal if I didn't have auto-pays set up on our card that I will now have to go and change. Such a pain in the ass.

I had that happen shortly after DD was born. It was awful and it was every one of our cards. I found out when I checked my email during a middle of the night feeding.

Oh man, that sucks. I am definitely thankful it is just one account and that it's happening BEFORE LO gets here. I'm also thankful that the credit card company picked up on it--I would have figured it out, but it would have taken me longer. They are very much on top of things.
We just managed to get a fraud alert flag on our card for booking 3 weeks of hotels at the same time for our parents' visits. I get fraud alerts for this, but not for fraudulent Spotify charges. Oh well.

UG. And then you also have to make sure once the companies have your updated information, they still don't try to take out money of the old card. It happened to us with the Home Depot data breach. We called our cable company and told them the new info, but they tried to take it out of the old card 2 months later. Then they want to charge US for being late. Seriously. It still hasn't been fixed (we just paid the late fee to get our WiFi turned back on).

Huge WTF going out to my SIL right now. This is her current status on FB -

What pp said. Just stick to your plan; you're not taking away any of his typical time with your DDs, so however you want to handle L&D and the first few weeks post partum is not up to him.

My vagina didn't know what hit it last night. DH and I hadn't had sex in months, and then suddenly twice in one day. I'm a proud warrior Was so excited that I apparently popped my cork this morning. Now if it could get this LO out of me that would be even nicer!
Good luck to all the delivering & recovering mammas today!
Ok so I just finished feeding LO and he spit up all over himself! I've never seen that much liquid come out of him. Of course I freaked out but luckily my mom was here and assured me that he was fine. Which he was, by the time I cleaned him up and changed his outfit he was fast asleep.
LO is currently having a freak out/dance party. Sweetie, I'm glad you're clearly healthy and active in there but can you stop trying to pull my stomach apart and punch me in the cervix? Are you and the placenta having a going away party?

Good grief. So ridiculous. Fortunately nothing like that happened the last time we went through this a couple of years ago. Fingers crossed that it doesn't this time either!

How old is your SIL?
37 at least. I just her a text and told her to take down the status b/c it makes her look bad and her real friends will know the truth. She has yet to respond.
