We're going to the Fire Dept this morning with the Little Explorers Club. DS loves fire trucks so it should be fun.
Also, I'm wearing my new silicone menstual cup for the first time and I'm pretty excited about it. I hope I like it so I can ditch pads and tampons all together.

Menstrual cups changed my world!!! What kind did you get?
I got sleep last night! I went to sleep early and told DH he had to deal with any MOTN coughing. Luckily M slept too and is still coughing some this morning but she seems to be on the mend. Now I'm feeling excited about going to see my BFF tomorrow!

Good morning ladies! Today I am going to get my eyebrows waxed and a mani and pedi. Then all the house cleaning. We have a memorial to go to tomorrow for MHs great uncle. He died in January but they are having the memorial tomorrow so that family had time to travel. I have to figure out what I am going to wear.

Sckoon. I only have one for now because I wanted to try it before a bought a few. I seriously agonized over which kind to get. It took me months to decide.

I have been using a diva cup for years. I need a new one. I was thinking of switching brands to something with more capacity. My periods have gotten much heavier over the past year.

Made t to my friends house last night. She has a two month old who is adorable. I have no itch for another one. I am loving my chatty, self reliant, toddler
We went to Magic Kingdom yesterday. W had a blast. It was H's first trip too. We got on almost all the toddlers friendly rides, which felt like an accomplishment. Her favorite was the carousel, because of course she likes the thing that we could have just gone to the mall for, haha.
bwisco123 made an awesome big sister shirt that we'll use for our announcement. W was a little shy with Mickey but woke up talking about him this morning.

The wall in the basement is finished and I had serious anxiety handing over all that money to the contractors. The flooring is next. Thinking of a bamboo hardwood that is set in a diagonal pattern.

I'm nervous about taking it out for the first time. I'm going to be home most of the day today so I figured it would be a good time to get used to it.

It does take some practice but it doesn't take long to figure out what works.

I have a confession that is probably not worth posting on parenting or worth starting a thread for here: I have a dr appointment next week with my ob-gyn. I am seriously considering having my IUD taken out. I am scared shitless. I feel like it's now or never if I am going to try for a second but I am terrified. So many people have done it so I am sure I can too but omg newborn and toddler seems so crazy. Will I regret TFAS? cosmicavobi @allthem15moms with a toddler and a newborn, is it ridiculously difficult?
marygracerich go for it if that's what you want! I feel like it won't get any easier with any age of toddlering no matter the age, if that makes sense. That being said it's really not bad, just an adjustment to a new normal, just like the first!

Thank you for your opinion! I appreciate it so much. Part of me is sad about G possibly not being my only anymore. Is it sad knowing that your first isn't an only and you can't them all your attention?

I was so sad about that too. It was hard for me to imagine what it would be like with it not being just us. Now that the baby is here I can't picture it any other way! There are definitely hard times where it's impossible to give both attention but the good outweighs the tough times by far.
marygracerich my second is still cooking, but if you want another then go for it. It was scary having the first one, but we all survived. My friend just had her second and is having feels about her daughter not being an only or the baby anymore. At this point though, the kids won't even remember being an only child. I hope that makes sense.

marygracerich I don't regret it at all...she feels like she completed us. I am done having babies now and very happy. I'd like more sleep...but everything else is great.
I'm also happy I did this while K was young. There's an adjustment but I think about how close they will be growing up, and she's already trying to be a great big sister.

My girls are 18 months apart. everybody told me I was crazy (super helpful) but they are growing up together and I love it.

Today L is 2 weeks and it really has not been very hard. Yeah we are tired and emotional and everything but it is on par with how we felt when C was this age. The hardest part for me has been the complicated feelings that arise from C not being my only child anymore, and becoming the big kid. That seems like something pretty standard to anticipate though.
I should add a disclaimer that, although my hospital stay was tough with L being in NICU, she has been a pretty easy baby since being home. Feeds every 3-4 hrs, sleeps through all of Cs noise, etc. Also, C is really independent when it comes to play time and doesn't need my attention constantly. If either, or both of those things were different I may be singing another tune.

You guys have all given me so much to think about. @orangecrush I am glad that being sad about that seems normal. I am sure I will feel different if/when I get pregnant and have another one. honda13 I didn't even think about G not remembering being an only. That's a great point. flyinghorses6 every time I see something about someone being a big sister I get strong feels which is why I think I am ready to try again. hotcoconuts82 I really want G to have someone to grow with. 😊 obi G is super independent so I hope if I have another, I think that will be helpful. You guys are giving me big time feels. Also confidence that maybe I am not crazy for considering it.

marygracerich, I have to add that upon learning I was pregnant all 3 times I've had an "oh crap what did I do" moment. Even though all 3 were planned. I always turns out just fine and I haven't given away any of the kids....yet.
