I just texted H (who is still sleeping) because there were noises coming from the basement. I was sure there was a logical explanation for them, but I was sort of freaking out that there was a giant rat or an intruder down there.
Nope. H reminded me that we unplugged the upright freezer to defrost it last night. It's ice falling off the top shelf. Sorry, H! Go back to sleep! Lol
Hope you all have fun/productive/lazy plans for today!
So I'm up with DS. We are going to Barnes & Noble to play with trains and pick out a new book. We will probably have jimmy johns for lunch because #5 and cherry Coke. DH can decide what his priorities are and come or not.

Ha! We thought we heard basement noises last night and it was the tv.
Just me and J this morning again. I'm not feeling well at all, and she's really attached this morning. I had a lot of contractions last night. For a minute I thought it may have been go time. But alas, things must have calmed down while I was sleeping. Still pregnant this morning! Maybe J senses something... FX! LOL
I really should grocery shop, but I have zero motivation. Ugh. We'll see.

DS got up at 6:25 and H got up with him and let me sleep til 8. I love him. Now he's making me waffles. We have to go to the grocery store today, I hate going, but we are out of all DS's staple foods. Then maybe the park weather permitting. DS had an epic meltdown over dinner last night and I for some reason think he does better if he gets more energy out. We were cooped up all day yesterday. Happy thoughts to everyone this morning.

musicallyinclined - Homemade waffles sound awesome. I had frozen waffles. Not as good lol And I'm jealous of your sleep, too! Eight o'clock sounds amazing!

oldbaylover1024musicallyinclined We had waffles over here too! DH was being bougie and asked for strawberries and Nutella with his 🙄 so that's what we all got.
Serious nesting mode over here today. Trying to remind myself to drink lots of water and take breaks.
pivot there was a moment when DS was being so awful that I was worried we wouldn't get out of the house, and I was literally crying because my lunch plans were in jeopardy.
I have a long list of little stuff to do. None of it will take very long or requires very much effort, but I need some toddler free time to get it done.

I'm supposed to be doing nothing this weekend. My MW threatened me with full on bed rest orders. So when DS woke up, I got him up, handed him to H, and went back to bed for two hours. I'd say that I'm starting off taking it easy fairly well!
wildflower810- FX you get lots of rest this weekend!
Enjoying my double baby cuddles this morning while DH is home to shower and get more clothes for himself. We are hoping that LOs visit today is better than yesterday. She was so excited to see the babies and right when my mom and her were U the nurse station there was a code pink(baby not breathing) so every nurse came running. Freaked LO out.
Milk isn't in but nursing is going really well....had 2 sessions of random feeding yesterday and trying for another before lil guy goes for his circumsicion at noon. Poor lil guy...
pivot I want you to know I'm eating JJ right now. And DS is negotiating if we can get a cookie on the way home. I said I would think of a place we could stop and he says "how about panera!" Done!

Last night work damn near killed me. Longest session of pushing ever and today I'm feeling like I can't do this for another minute. This baby is in some awful position and straightening out all her limbs. I truly feel like my stomach is being split down the middle. Maybe I'm having a bit of a pity party but I am so uncomfortable and exhausted.

Well, I got the most-dreaded-item on my list checked off this morning (writing thank you notes), so now I'm moving on the second most-dreaded item (mopping the kitchen and living room floors) as soon as I put F down for a nap. And then I need to clean out and defrost our second freezer. Ew. Why did I save these things for Saturday? Next week I'm getting my most-dreaded checked off first.
What I really want to do is sew and crochet while watching a movie. Maybe I can convince H to watch a chick flick with me tonight? One can dream, right?

flyinghorses6, I'm still in awe of your ability to do your job while you're heavily pregnant. How many more shifts do you have? I hope You get to rest today!

I had a lot of help last night. This extremely amazing mama pushed for 4+ hours. It took every nurse on our unit...but my legs, back and belly are so angry with me. I have 6 shifts left (I'm scheduled for 8 more but 2 are after my due date and I can't imagine my doctor allowing me to work past 40 weeks). I honestly don't even know how I am going to get through next week. I am just praying labor is around the corner. Praying!!!!
B gave me a 4 hr stretch last night, so I'm feeling pretty good!
We're down the Cape today to see if we can get anything done renovation-wise on our house. We'll see how productive we can be with a newborn and toddler... At least I get to have my favorite sandwich from Box Lunch today.

flyinghorses6, I'm in awe of you still working... and holy heck, pushing for 4 hours??!?! I pushed for 4 contractions. Did the mom finally deliver vaginally?

I know I pushed with 3 contractions. And the whole time I'm like COME ON LADY!!!! But yes!!! She did it!

Wow! I usually roll my eyes at the phrase "push present" but I hope she got one, and it came from an expensive jewelry store!

I HATE when disciplining my kid means I don't get what I want. I told DH even if DS was being an ass I had expectations of ice cream. Sometimes I want to use that to reason with him, don't make mommy punish herself because you're throwing a tantrum!

Also DS just took 45 minutes to go down for his nap, he got out of bed like 6 times. I think he has a bad case of FOMO for some reason. Like we are going to go to the park without him.

Well DH and I had plans to get some small Reno stuff picked up today; the paint for the main living area, the rolling island for the kitchen/dining room, the hardware for the closet doors and look at flooring. We managed to pick out paint swatches and then had to come home with our 2 tantruming children. I packed snacks to avoid meltdowns but DD1 wanted marshmallows and DD2 started screaming because DD1 was obviously upset so cue the revolution.
Now they are both napping and hopefully we can try again this afternoon. She does not nap often now being 4yo, but when she needs a nap, Lord help us.

I was out running errands with DH today. We stopped by the local mall so I could walk some laps around it. Then we went to Home Depot for new smoke detectors. Then we stocked up on crockpot worthy food at BJs.
At BJs there was a mom there that made me nuts. Her little boy was probably 4 and she was hollering at him as though he was seriously misbehaving. He wasn't. He was acting like a four year old, but he wasn't being bad.
Then I went to pee and she comes into the bathroom with him to scold him some more. It made me feel sad for him.
Like why bother having kids if that's how you're going to treat them?

MH took J to CFA to play on the playground so Mommy could have some time. FX this means Mommy gets a milkshake LOL She definitely wanted me to go. Thank goodness MH let me stay home. I need a minute KWIM?
loves2shop4shoes - Sometimes it's hard to watch. But I try to assume the best. Maybe Mom is at her whits end. Maybe this is stop number five of the day and kiddo has been acting that way all day. Who knows. I know I've had days in public I'm not proud of. Sorry you saw all that.

loves2shop4shoes i try not to assume anything because we have literally no clue what's happening in that family. Is it hard to watch? Sometimes. But we don't know anything about the situation -- there could be something tragic happening, mom could be sick and just trying to get her checklist done, there could be financial burdens, she could be a single mom... We just don't know. Having kids isn't all sunshine and rainbows and fun. I snapped at my kid today because he was moving so slowly and I needed to pee right now. Doesn't mean I love him less. Doesn't make me a bad mom. Doesn't mean I shouldn't have kids. It means right in that moment, I needed more from him than he was giving. You'll be there someday, and I hope there's no one judging you for it.
