Baby Maggie is here! Born at 11:53am. She's 6 lbs 15 oz and 20 inches. Will put a birth story and picture on the private board later on. Thanks for the encouragement this morning!
I forgot how adorable newborn grunts are. DS makes the cutest sounds.
I got my leave/std/fmla claim approved today (yay). Hopefully I got all the tax withholding right for the "sick pay". I'm clueless when it comes to the tax stuff...but I do know we usually end up owing every year because of our rental properties and Hs variable real estate income. I don't want next year to be extra burdensome because I messed up my paperwork during leave. 🤔
If you end up owing every year, just have them over withhold. Instead of claiming any dependants claim 0 and check Married but withhold at Single rate if you can
Thanks for the tip! DH and I had our tax guy estimate the extra we should ask to take out per paycheck, but that was before buying another rental property last year - which I assume will make us owe more again with the additional rental income. ::shrugs:: I think this year we're going to ask to pay quarterly so we're on top of it.
I forgot to mention this in my labor story. Apparently my placenta had a velamentous cord insertion. The OB and l/d nurse were all up in its junk examining it (weird). I had to look it up since I didn't know what that meant. I guess there's a high association with other complications and I'm actually surprised they didn't pick it up in any of the scans they did (especially since they were looking at the placenta a lot due to me SCH). At any rate, I'm feeling extra Thankful that my delivery went as smoothly as it did!
Just got back from my appt... I couldn't resist the check this time 🙈🙈. 3cm and she said the bag of waters was pushing through. Had a contraction mid-exam that dilated me a bit more, but who knows!
I'm so pissed. Apparently there was something on MILs X-rays. Some kind of infection but her doctor never called her and she found out only because she saw the report on her Electronic health record thing. And of course the doctor office closed at 12 noon CST so she put a call in to the oncall physician. They knew that she was planning on traveling out here to help take care of a toddler and newborn and didn't bother to call her to say what the fuck was going on.
Eeeeeeek rinny! Another caboose potentially ready to go, go go!
tex that blows. I'm sorry that this is happening so late in the game.
Meanwhile at the lake and pibble households...
I'm dying because I was thinking the exact same thing. After next week it looks like it would just be rinny, you, and me as the holdouts with no interventions scheduled (and maybe @orangcrush!). So I was excited for rinny's post but also a bit: awwww just pibbs and me sitting in the corner....thinking about our life choices.
DH got hung up at work and asked his mom to pick DD up at daycare. Then he went to pick her up and ended up staying for dinner. He didn't tell me early enough and I was waiting for them so I didn't get around to eating anything. I also told him to be home before 7 so DD wouldn't have a meltdown.
They walked in the door at 8 with DD throwing an EPIC tantrum and DH being frustrated at her and not doing a good job of diffusing the situation.
I've been stuck nursing B and haven't eaten any dinner.
ugh. ellabee, I was going to come bitch some more about my night, but you win girl. I'm sorry. Do you have anything quick to make for food? Can you order in? Make H make somethign?

That's shitty ellabee and I hate when dh does shit like that. If you are going to "throw" the routine off at least be prepared to handle the inevitable tantrums and meltdowns. Especially now with two kids, it's not like you can throw DS down to go handle it (and you shouldn't always have to). That is one of my big concerns for when we go home with ds2... I know I won't always be able to, nor should I have to, intervene or take over. Get it together men!

pibblemom, go ahead and bitch. I'm about to. What's up?
Here's my bitch rant: my inlaws wanted to come see the baby after work. They arrived at 9. It's not like it was a surprise, I knew it would be late. I am just not in the mood. I'm tired and I want to fucking shower and sleep. Everything is annoying me right now. I'm probably coming off as a cranky ass bitch. I just do not want anyone here right now.
If you're invited to a baby shower and told not to wrap the gifts because they'll be displayed, what are we doing for those two hours? It's 2-4 so I'm not expecting any real food. Please tell me it's not two hours of games. I could not handle that on a regular day and the shower is two weeks after my due date so my grumpy hormonal, sleep deprived self will definitely not be handling that with a smile.
@pibblemon and lakegirl If I wasn't going on for the induction next week, I would definitely be in the same boat as y'all. I feel like this kid would hold on til the end, making me completely miserable. The only time all day that I didn't feel like my pubic bone was gonna split in two was when I was soaking in the bath just now.
