Went to a minor league baseball game last night for my company's family Picnic and got to try out my baby k'tan active. It worked great and wasn't too hot despite the 90÷ temp

H decided last night that he does want to go to his cousin's wedding 3 1/2 hours away after saying for weeks that he didn't want to go. So I've spent my morning arranging for my sister to keep DS and packing a bag for the girls. I had to get on H about just sitting around. Dude you can't change our plans last minute and then not help.

No plans for us this weekend aside from some cleaning. I may make doughnuts.
Basically we will just be relaxing these last few days before my induction. I also might go out at some point and see if I can find some more clothes for the boys. L needs some new stuff for school.

I'm invited to a barbecue for a mom friend who's visiting after moving out of state. It's my old mom's group, so the perfect first attempt at an outing with me and the two kids. Malcolm has been cluster feeding for days, so we'll see if being in the ring sling around people will be enough to keep him from nursing nonstop.

Today is my due date. DH let me sleep in. I'm going to wash sheets, vacuum, and clean the bathrooms. I'd love to get out and do something, but I don't know what.
We have newborn pics in 15 mins. I hope she doesn't scream thru them!
Good luck! With DS1 our session was five hours. They were so patient with stopping to nurse, soothing, diaper changes. Don't feel bad or rushed! It will be on babies time anyway lol
It's supposed to be cloudy and sort of rainy today so nothing really planned here. Not that I enjoy moving around much these days anyway...but I have this thought that maybe I can walk this baby out?! Haha. Probably not but man. So over all of it. Had some really painful contractions last night for an hour, then nada. I am starting to get pissed when contractions come because I'm so jaded that I don't really believe anything will come of them anymore.
I feel silly being so upset because I'm 39+5 and it's totally normal to still be pregnant right now. But between all the body aches and pains and people constantly badgering me, I feel like I'm going crazy!

I'm on my own with both kids today. I've already been peed on by the baby, slapped in the face by the toddler and got a text from Dh that he's so tired and doesn't want to work. Well, guess what buddy? I don't want to do this all by myself but I am. So, suck it up!
We had a good 24hrs. F cluster fed yesterday afternoon but then we had a few solid 3 hour chunks of sleep through the night. A successful pumping attempt (I think? 4oz in 33 mins?) and DH got to feed him

I'm home alone all morning! H and DS are at soccer/playground, and my parents are out for a day trip. I'm going to do some walking, cleaning, and just chilling. Who knows the next time I'll be all alone so I'm enjoying it :-)

This is me too. I've been having cramps and contractions for almost a month, but my OB says baby's not low enough and I'm only 2cm. People were surprised when I took DS to the splash pad by myself in the next town over (20 min drive) yesterday, but I'm like, why? Baby's not coming ever anyway.
A friend I hadn't seen in a while and her DD came over to visit the baby and play. That was really nice.
So I haven't left the house since R was born except to go to her pediatrician appointment. Last night I was feeling better and decided to go for a short stroller walk. We walked all of 0.1 mile and my stitches are sore
It's getting frustrating that now I'd like to do something like take DD to the mall play area since its 100+ degrees, but I don't think I can even handle that. Blah

Yeah I'm considering driving out to the mall of America even though it's about a half hour away just to walk a bunch. Maybe I will get lucky and my water will break and I will have an embarrassing story out of it.
I am totally opposite from almost everyone who is still PG here, I am so frustrated because I am not feeling any contractions at all. I really want my body to be at least somewhat ready before they force it into labor next week but I know I am going to go in on Tuesday and I won't be dilated or anything.

I hope your body gets the labor memo soon to make Tuesday easier! I'm not up for induction yet (due Fri so induction isn't even on the table), but I've had zero contractions too. I'm doing lots of walking, but I don't even know why. Based on my last pregnancy, it won't help get labor started and just makes me uncomfortable :-(
Do you hear that? It's the sound of silence. Both kids are napping. I'm going to chow down some spaghetti and hope i can finish before they wake up!
DD went down at 1, but didn't go to sleep until almost 2. It worked out though because it took me that long to get DS fed and to sleep. Of course then it took me a while to fall asleep but I got maybe half an hour before the milk monster started crowing again.

Yay for sleep! Are you EPing? Careful not to create too much demand or you might end up with oversupply! My LC said if I am nursing and pumping not to do more than 15 min increments.

Look at us rocking the STM thing!
I still have lots of help, but the help was preoccupied today so I did manage both kids by myself a couple times. The inlaws leave tomorrow, and H may go to work on Monday. I'm terrified.
