I forsee a metldown on Wednesday if my doc says I haven't progressed. Even though I'm showing more "signs" than with R I'm still worried I'll go over and be threatened with an induction which I really don't want. I've been walking lots so I'm hoping that will help.
I've noticed R is getting into the habit of not using her words and just hitting me until she gets what she wants. I've started holding her hands and telling her quiet hands and to use her words and then 9 times out of 10 she will tell me what it is.
We also squashed a meltdown yesterday leaving the park, all on her own she started climbing back in her stroller! Like ok mom I'm done. I'm amazed with her independence.

We were away this weekend and DS does NOT do well not sleeping in his own bed. We were up at our new house and when we are there we just sleep in the master suite all together - my mom's full size bed and a queen size air mattress - because there will be no furniture for our part of the house until we move up there. Friday night I got DS to sleep with me on the air mattress but 20 minutes after falling asleep he woke up and just LOST it. He was screaming like I have never heard! I could not get him to calm down so my mom took him and he immediately calmed down and ended up sleeping with her. It made me sad because I hate when I can't soothe him

I'm having a meltdown over life. I've just been so down lately. I feel like I'm failing at everything, being a mom, wife, employee, friend, human being, everything. I need to snap out of it, things really aren't that bad. I started weaning off my anti-depressants. Looks like that wasn't a good idea, so I'm going back on them. That was a hard reality to accept.
DD was a mess all weekend. She had a major meltdown when I went to the grocery store (on my own) and she stayed home with DH. She wanted to come with me, but I needed a break. She cried and kept asking DH if I was coming back. Poor girl thought I was abandoning her. She was also concerned that I was going to remember to get milk, cookies, and chocolate at the store.

Thanks ladies.
Hugs to you hikingmama222 I hope you start feeling better.
R had a meltdown when we left the park just now. She literally kicked her legs out and held them there so i couldn't put her in the stroller. Good times. And she keeps whining about us being home now and asking for the park. We were there for 2 hours kid. Chill out.
ugh I am super stressed. DH is stressing about the job offer. He had another interview which he canceled with another company then sends me their letter back acting like he regrets it, but then says he doesn't then gets mad at me for not understanding his waffling. I hope he tells the company today that he will accept or if he waits to long they will pull the offer.
DH's family is stressing us out because they act like the reason Dh's brother won't come to family functions is DH's fault when really it is part of his brother's mental illness (epilepsy/ social anxiety/ depression/ possibly emotionally impaired).
Stress at work is high and stressing about DS's upcoming medical test. Just make a decision DH. I can't hold your hand forever and talk your through it for days and days. It is time to put on your big boy pants and decide.
Update: yay DH accepted the offer. Also he talked to his dad and said not to blame him for his brother's anxiety. It seems like the dad was understanding that we don't need the brothers problems put on us.
My meltdown is a big one....sorry to repeat this for those on FB... Went in for a growth scan yesterday at my peri. (I am high risk for a blood clotting disorder and on blood thinners.) This was the first scan I was 100% confident about and excited for since my loss. But baby Adam is measuring 30 weeks. I am 33 weeks. He is in the 11th percentile. After an eternity of checking, the doctor is worried about IUGR and also very low amnio fluid. I also had low amnio fluid with Jack. At 37 weeks I am was admitted to the hospital for IV fluids, then rechecked. There was zero improvement so they started a disastrous induction that lasted 3 days and ended in a c-section. But he was born at 38 weeks, 6lbs9oz and scored a 9 on the APGAR. This little man is measuring at 3lbs5oz. He is just too tiny. He isn't ready yet. I am a nervous wreck. I go in for a NST thursday, then another US on Monday at the peri. The peri has already switched me from long lasting to short lasting blood thinners "in case" I need to go in for a c-section. I am not ready. I am not ready physically, mentally or emotionally. I just keep crying. I am not ready to say goodbye to Jack for a few days. I am not ready to leave Adam at the hospital for what could potentially be weeks. I am just not ready for all this yet. Hopefully, we will both "pass" our tests in the next upcoming days and he can stay in another week. And then hopefully we can keep doing that a few more weeks...just one week at a time. But the thought of preparing each week to go to the hospital is just making me so damn sad.
One bright side to all of this is that Adam was so active in there that it was hard for them to see anything. Between his moving and breathing practice they had a tough time checking blood flow. I am glad for that! He is so active, even now.
Anyway....this is going to be an ongoing meltdown I think....all week long.
chilibeansm0m any update on your dr appointment yet? Maybe it's too early for that over there on the west coast I hope all goes well at the appointment today. Just curious, but why would they induce you if you haven't progressed more today? I hope that's not the case for you either way!

I am 1 cm dilated, "soft," and did lose my mucous plug like I thought on Sunday! However his head is high
They wouldn't induce me today if I hadn't progressed but R was late so I've been worried they'll push towards induction again. Luckily she says we're not ready for that talk yet so I'll keep walking, add the stairs and fx more progress for my next apt next wed.
