Weekend plans & randoms

[Squishy622]

MIL leaves this afternoon after a week here. She's been great but I'm ready to have our own space back after 6 weeks of visitors.

Before she goes though, I have an eyebrow wax appointment. I was going to do this the week my water broke. Soooo embarrassingly overdue.

Otherwise, I plan on doing lots of cooking and baby snuggling! Oh and answering the question "why?"'10 million times. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

As of now I plan on staying home most of the weekend. We have been out doing thing everyday since we've been home. Today will be our first day alone with 2 since my Mom is gone and there is no DC.

Tomorrow a ton of people are coming to visit. Apparently Sunday sounded like a great day.

DH has a few things he has to do, he's already at work, then is doing some work at our church.

I've already told him I don't want to see people until after this baby comes. I can't handle any more questions or suggestions.

[mrsh82414]

My plan for today is laundry and cleaning. We may go check out an open house later just bc we need something to do while "patiently" waiting for baby to make her appearance. Her official due date is Monday so I'm trying to play it cool, but I haven't had any contractions since Tuesday and have not seen my MP to date. I'm so uncomfortable I just want to be done.

Also, apparently I jinxed myself. I was just priding myself yesterday about how awesome my friends and family are for not being up my ass about when baby is coming, and then sure enough starting yesterday afternoon I got a Facebook post and 4 text messages. My little (19y/o) cousin asked today if I think the baby will be here this weekend. I wanted to say how the fuck should I know? But seeing as I'm the first cousin to have a baby she's not really educated on the whole due date thing so I'm going to cut her some slack.

H & I had a date night last night. We were only gone for about 2 hours, but it was the longest I've ever been away from Lucy. Both girls did great with the sitter. It was awesome to get to talk to H without any interruptions.

After DD's nap, we are going to boo at the zoo. Tomorrow is church.

OMFuckingG if they don't discharge me from this freaking dungeon of a hospital room in the next 15 minutes- I'm going to go BSC. They told me I would be out of here at 11. It's almost noon. We should have been able to leave last night but they wanted one more night of monitoring. I'm so over this. I just want to go home. I miss my dog.

[fallbaby11]

I am crabby! 39 weeks tomorrow and H has been gone every week for work. All flights were cancelled yesterday so H drove all night to get home this morning and now is sleeping. I worked all this week and watched DS all week since H was gone. Did I mention I am crabby?

[aylafsu1881]

. yessss! It takes me all day to get a shower and do one load of laundry or run to the store.


@usernamesarehard happy anniversery.

bradysalon the discharge process takes forever. FX you are out soon.

[aylafsu1881]

I am not sure F has different cries. I cannt tell if she is giving me a hungry cry vs a wet diaper cry vs a tired cry. To me all her cries should the same-like a pissed of baby. I also hate when people ask about it because i dont know. I just go dokiwn the list. It makes me feel like i am broken as a mom.

You know that your hormones are jacked up when at two weeks postpartum seeing the pregnant ladies at BBB makes you want to get pregnant again.

I was this way both times. I would cry and tell H I just wanted to be pregnant again. The hormone crash and sleep deprivation are no joke.

We spent this morning at the flea market, then headed to the MIL's house. Tomorrow we are going back to the flea market and then maybe hit up a Fall Festival "trunk or treat"

[Squishy622]

Hugs @justplanelove, I hope you get to meet your little guy really soon!
Happy anniversary @usernamesarehard!

[stephy1221]

@usernamesarehard, Happy Anniversary!

We went to a carnival/fall festival this morning. DD1 had her first pony ride, so cute.

I am doing laundry currently and we have dinner plans with a BIL who is in town for work. Tomorrow we have a birthday party that will take up most of the afternoon.

This sounds amazing.

Does anyone want a free trial of Blue Apron? I have one more to give away. It's 3 meals / $60 value.

[kbrooke06]

We have a bunch of preemie clothes we can't return. What would you all do with them?

I was thinking of posting them to my neighborhood FB rummage sale, but I doubt they would be a sought after thing. I'm also thinking of calling the NICU and seeing if any of the babies going home soon would want/fit them. But, not sure if they could take them. I could just pack them away, but I'm really hoping we won't ever need clothes that small again.

I do if no one has already claimed it!

K I'll pm you!

[traversity]

I'm going to the hospital tonight, so I am doing laundry, and changing sheets and cleaning the kitchen before I go. I probably won't be home until Tuesday. Sigh.

[mrsh82414]

So I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but yesterday it felt wetter down there when I wiped and this morning when I wiped there was a small amount of mucous. I hope that means we are moving in the right direction!

[leopardgurl831]

traversity good luck today! DH just left to bring DS1 to swim and I'm sitting on the couch nursing. I need to finish cleaning before everyone and their mother comes over today. I was thinking about putting out snacks, but I have no clue what we have.

[Squishy622]

Good luck traversity!

H's cousin and her family are coming over this morning to meet the babies. They are the most high strung, nervous nelly, on-edge people I have ever met. Definitely the kind of energy I want in my house right now!

I lost my MP over a week ago and then lost more of it Friday night but this time it was bloody looking. Still nothing going on. I'm getting impatient lol.

The mucous plug lies. I lost mine like 2 weeks ago. Blah. Inductions tonight. Why can't I get everything I need done in time?!?!?

[cnbpa3027]

Please excuse my pity party, this is just not how I thought this weekend would be going. My husband just got home from taking our 3 year old to urgent care. She still has a fever on and off and developed an ugly cough last night. Diagnosis is croup. Exactly what you want with a 4 day old baby in the house. My husband is currently disinfecting our bedroom and then I will be quarantining myself and Charlotte in there until my other daughter is 24 hours without fever. I feel so bad that all she wants to do is snuggle and she was so excited about her baby sister and we have to keep her away from me and the baby.

Now I am absolutely terrified and praying that Charlotte is getting a good amount of immunities from breastfeeding.

And with my husband taking care of the sickie, he is going to be missing out on so much bonding time with the baby.

[leopardgurl831]

cnbpa3027 I'm sorry. I was hoping it was nothing. Hope her fever breaks soon.

You guys my Aunt brought over stuffed shells!! Yay for dinner!!

[bradysalon]

Hugs and love to everyone who is having a rough day or is still pregnant and over it.

Man- this newborn stuff is no joke. I knew it would be hard but I guess I didn't think about everything that comes along with it. Today was actually a really great day for us. Sam fed every 2-3 hours and I got to sleep in between those times. I actually feel like a person. I even showered!! It's nice having DH here all day. I actually sleep during my naps knowing he is there to hold or watch Sam. Well DH is working all next week but my mom is coming in tonight for the week so that will be a lot of help. Hopefully our night tonight goes as smoothly as our day.

I have to say- baby snuggles are the best but I can't wait until he is more alert. He rarely opens his eyes and I could stare into them all day.

I don't have energy to catch up on the weekend randoms thread, but I did want to pop on & say hi! We came home from the hospital this afternoon. We're all adjusting. I was able to do DS1's normal bedtime routine with no interruption for DS2, which was a blessing! Now I'm going to feed J & try not to think about the 1st PP BM, which I think is coming soon.

[rondosa]

Hugs to all the mamas having a rough go this weekend . do you have an abundance of milk? Could be a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance?

Can we talk about the new Adele song? If you can relate to the topic of the song, it's definitely "wailing along in the car on full blast while driving alone" material. Typical Adele. I'm jealous of her pipes.
