Hi everyone, sorry I've been away awhile.

Adjusting to two is going ok, but still I find myself missing life with just DD. I hope this isn't the start of PPD :-(

((Hugs)) Adjusting to two is a major change. I miss the simplicity of life with 1 as well. I also miss the mom I was when I Olay had 1. My patience with DD is so much shorter because I'm tired and trying to manage the needs of both kids simultaneously. I keep trying to remember that this is a major life adjustment for her too. Mommy guilt is rough.

Thanks. At least it's only a couple days. I'm just irritated. BIL is excited. I get it. But common courtesy would be if the parents haven't said anything, then keep your mouth shut.

This football game is gonna make me go into labor.

My parents will be over soon of course right around our dinner time. I have leftovers I want to eat but they will expect us to order pizza or food together. Sigh.

Hugs biscotto. Missing 1 on 1 time with DS1 is by far the most difficult and emotional adjustment for me too. As much as I love DS2. I expect is normal but it sure isn't fun.

[heybulldog56]

Big hugs biscotto. We go home tomorrow and I am insanely worried and anxious about how this two child thing will work.

Big hugs to you. I know BIL was just excited and it probably didn't occur to him that he was doing anything wrong, but it sucks that he stole your thunder.

My MIL announced F's birth, and even his name of FB. I cried when I found out. Lord knows what else I was expecting, as she did the same when R was born.

My wisdom of 7 whole days is to take what time you can. And use the annoying baby hog visitors to your advantage so you can play with the older one. And make sure you have a wide enough chair because there's a lot of this happening while Paw Patrol is on
Gratuitous boob shot FTW

Oh shit. I didn't even think of this. My MIL announced our gender reveal before we were even cleaned up at the first shower/reveal.

Note to self: explain to MIL that I would like to announce on fb when we are ready and done calling immediate family. I understand they're excited, but births and deaths there are certain immediate family and close friends who should know before the rest of the world.

[MissDemeanor]

My mil is gone. Thankfully.

DS1 fell asleep at 5:30 which is not good. Not sure if he's sick or just really exhausted from such a crazy week. So now we're eating cupcakes and watching Trainwreck

Yes. And then be prepared for them to harrass you to post something asap so then they are allowed to. My mom and mil were under strict instructions to not post but that didn't stop them from badgering me asap. Slow your roll ladies! I popped a baby out an hour ago, I am not chomping at the bit to post on social media. Give a gal some down time.

9pm rage fest: I'm missing two of my bamboobies. I've torn apart my room, the dresser, looked behind and underneath it, taken the drawers out, checked the half used box of disposable nursing pads, looked in the nursery...there is a limited number of places I stored nursing stuff since I was nursing up until 7ish months ago. To make matters worse I'm missing one black and one light pink. This irks my soul. I rarely misplace things. Grrrrr.

This is me searching my room right now.

[MissDemeanor]

lakegirl I'm sorry you can't find yours. But thanks for reminding me that I have brand new ones stashed...somewhere

[heybulldog56]

Hope you find them soon lakegirl. That was me when I was packing my hospital bag.

[MissDemeanor]

I'm convinced that 2 months from now I'll find a huge stash of newborn clothes.

[pibblemom]

Newbie question... Are the bamboobies worth it? I think last I looked they were kind of expensive?

+1 To all this. I've been trying to use my parents being around this weekend as a time to spend one on one time with DS1.

This happened with a box of 12 month clothes for DS1. It sucked because it was a bunch of cute shit.

Re: MIL

[MissDemeanor]

I'm super excited to finally be watching the episode of Big Bang Theory where Sheldon and Amy... bang

[thelittleredm]

DS is all about the nature documentaries tonight. Score!

[thelittleredm]

H won't get off work until 2am :/ I didn't have this problem when we lived in an apartment, but now that we're in a house, I really struggle to fall asleep without him home. I'm a lot more anxious about it now.

[silvermelody]

I need to remember to tell my mom not to scoop me on the birth announcement this time. DS was her first grandchild and I know she wasn't trying to AH or be hurtful but I was peeved.

[silvermelody]

On that note, my parents are here! I don't have to stress about DS childcare! Not that baby girl is giving any signs that she's ready to come out. Not even any BH. Nada.

We had a good two hours with them before DS ran out of steam and went to bed and then they stayed for the end of the Steelers game. It's so nice to have them here. They've never seen me this preggo in person lol

[MissDemeanor]

I'm way more excited than I should be tonight. I'm trying a new brand of swaddle (ergo cocoon) and a new pad (always infinity)

[MissDemeanor]

Oh good. We're doing that thing where we nurse for 3 minutes, sleep for 7, and repeat.

[thelittleredm]

Well, I'm off to bed. Newborn pictures are tomorrow!

[heybulldog56]

I am the only one awake right now. I am debating eating a snack...

thelittleredm, I am so excited for your shoot. I cannot wait to see the pictures! Are you doing it at home or going to a studio?

Going to the studio. I debated at home but decided I didn't want to deal with my animals whining for hours lol
