((Hugs)) mls5871. Thinking good thoughts for you and your LO.
Everyone has had really good advice sterl724. I also didn't go out right away with DS1. There really is no rush. I think so many of us are out and about this time because we have older kiddos that need to get out. Honestly, if it wasn't for the toddler, I'd be happy hanging out at home with the baby!
Thinking of you guys mosdub, jnow and kaits8! Sending labor vibes.
The 6 hour sleep plan worked, so I got 6 hours, and then another 3. Feeling good. DD and I had brunch with my Dad and now I'm waiting to tour the childcare facility at our gym to decide if we should sign the little one up. It's not much extra per month, and could be a nice break now and then.
Thursday's are the day we really have nothing to do, and no one to hang out with, so I'm trying to plan our day. So far I have pick up dry cleaning....
I might just hang out in the lounge of the gym for awhile and drink coffee. It's so dreary, I can't just sit in the house.
STMs, what's a good present for a little boys first bday? I'm pretty sure it's Erin years since I went to a first birthday party and I think the kid ended up with every ride along toy in the world ever
I haven't caught up yet so this may have been suggested but my son LOVED his water/sand table.
@sterl724 no pressure to go out until you want to. Just make the first couple of trips easy so you can leave if needed. Buy buy baby is a good one if close. They have a room with changing tables and gliders for nursing/feeding. With my first, I would plan my outings around being there for feeding time if it was on my list to go to!
Ladies, I just scheduled my 20 month for surgery to get tubes on Tuesday. I'm having all the feels right now. I know she needs them, but the thought of her going under anesthesia and being wheeled away from us in the hospital is really upsetting me. I just need to not think about it, but PP hormones are getting the best of me. Ugh.
It'll be ok! My DD1 got tubes right at her 2 year birthday. It was a life changer
Shit I wish I could just hang or at home with the baby.
I honestly feel like that needs to happen for a few days so I can bond with her better. With everything that happened at the hospital, DH having to go right back to work and school, me being alone with both kids the first day I got home...
Idk, maybe if i can just survive until she starts to become a little person it'll be ok.
I'm sorry you're having a hard time @priss08. I'm sure once she gets a little older and you have more time to adapt it'll get easier. Is there any family that could come stay for a few days to hang out with your older one so you can have some more alone time to bond with baby?

When school is out my brother can. I just have to wait till May.

You can do it! Only a month! (Holy crap only a month!)
I am so tired. L had a really good night last night but it just wasn't enough. Had I been able to sleep after her 4:30am feeding then I would feel great, but DS woke up crying at 6, while I was still trying to get DD back down, so my day had to start.
My BFF left around noon. It was sooo nice having her visit! She got me Tim Hortons each morning and ordered pizza for us the first night. DS adores her too so she was a great distraction for him. It was nice to feel like a real human with a real life friend for once. I don't live anywhere near friends or family so it has been pretty lonely this winter. Being huge and pregnant kept me pretty housebound, apart from appointments.

Had my 6-week checkup. All clear, wee! Now to get that V scheduled for my husband.
I also did some running around with a sleepy baby and it was awesome. Some day I'll go out on my own with both kids, but right now I relish any time I only have one of them.
Then I cleared out all the maternity clothes and anything else I never wear from my dresser and closet. I feel so light and free.
obi being sick through out my whole pregnancy kept me home a lot, so I totally get how nice it feels to have friends around again! glad you had a nice visit.
kristhegirl yay for being in the all clear! I'm so excited for my appointment next week. I totally need to clear my closet, but never get motivated.

My mom is here. She's driving me nuts.
TMI: I have really itchy spots at the top of my ass crack where my tailbone is. I *think* they are pressure sores, aka bed sores from sitting on my ass so much. They itch like a mother f'er though. I think I might need to go to MedCheck tomorrow.

Sorry for the pains in your ass.
How long is your mom around for?!
Hope your ass is an easy fix.
She just stopped by on her way back home from a meeting. It's nice having her but she has not shut up! Lol
I hope my ass is an easy fix too. My tailbone hates me.
As soon as I started pumping A woke up and started having a full blown meltdown, nothing like listening to a newborn scream for 10 minutes to make you feel like mother of the year
It feels like forever, even though I know it's not. Hugs.

What she said ugaqueencity. Plus she won't even remember it.
Fearsy I always thought en caul births were so fascinating! Did the doctors love it? I love that upper lip haha, she's adorable along with her big sis. Congratulations on the speedy labor and the speedy exit home!
@amc25 a lot of my favorite pictures are those kinds of snapshots that catch an emotion or moment rather than the posed and perfect (which don't get me wrong are also beautiful in their own way).
