Today was a rough one. The baby didn't nap much most of the day. The 3 yr missed his nap because of his 3 yr well check. So they were both super cranky. And the 3yr old was a nightmare at the doctor's office, wouldn't listen to anything or do anything the doctor or nurse asked. I was wearing the baby at the visit but as soon as it was time to go and I put him in the carseat he had a meltdown and I ended up nursing him in the car in the parking lot with the 3 yr old yelling most of that time that he wanted to go home. Everyone is finally sleeping now, except me...
Tomorrow will hopefully be better. We are having a belated birthday party for DS1 with just family so it should be fun for him, but low key for me.

Hope she doesn't mind me giving an update!! She is in LABOR!!! I saw on FB that it started yesterday (just barely avoided the need for an induction!) but has struggled to progress. Hopefully it picked up and she is holding her LO RIGHT NOW!! I will let her give all the details but things are happening!

@lilybilly yikes. My 3 yo doesn't nap for me anymore so weekends are meltdown central. When both kids are upset it's brutal. Bedtimes easier when DS doEsnt nap so that's always the bright side for me. Today will definitely be a better day for you!

Ugh, that's sought @lilybilly Yesterday was pretty bad for us too, but at least we were at home all day. DS would not let me put him down. Most of the day he only slept for 10-15mins at a time. My 3yo DD was completely neglected and I felt so terrible. And of course it made me super irritable with both of them and DH didn't get home from work until almost 10pm. So far today is a bit better. I've managed to have breakfast, brush my teeth, and play a little with DD. More than I was able to do all day yesterday!
cateyes - Thanks for updating here for me! I'll post the long birth story at some point but summary is: Went into labor on my own Thursday morning. Labored 24 hrs and got stuck at 5cm with a swollen cervix. Got an epidural and went easily to 10cm. Pushed a little over 3 hours and baby girl Jose.phine Ly.nn born just before midnight on 6/30! 8lbs 4oz, 21" long. She and I are both healthy.
eucalyptus, starsandshamrocks123, applemuffins, thanks for the encouragement. We did have a blast for the 3 yr olds party today but the baby has been fussing on and off for the last 4.5 hours so I can't wait till he finally falls asleep.
applemuffins I'm glad today was a little better for you and that you got to brush your teeth
